What kind of amps were used on the last Caliban ? What about mic/pres ?
The guitar sound is one of the heaviest ever heard...

Caliban guitar sound

They used Engl Powerballs I *think* on the Opposite form Within or whatever it's called. I'm not a fan of the tone, personally. Sounds too mushy, but it does sound like Engl's. I've also heard that the tones were reamped through a JCM800, so I'm not really sure. Sounds like P'balls to me.

Damn, that surprises me. Opposite From Within sounds exactly like a Powerball. Sounds almost too "spongy" to be a 5150.

I totally agree! Maybe that's why they went with Powerball's? When I saw them on tour with God Forbid, the stage tone of the Powerballs through 1960 cabs was pretty much spot on to the album tone from Opposite. In the mix, they didn't cut very well, but a volume boost may have helped. But,they sounded really close.

I played with Caliban a couple of years ago and they used powerballs. They actually had an incredible live sound - one of the best if not THE best I'd ever heard.
