Dave Mustaine explains guitar rig for United Abominations

[Fredrik-Ablaze]

personally I'd take the Bradshaw/CAE tone from countdown and youthanasia over any other rigs he's been using. those two albums (especially youthanasia) have great guitartones!

 

[Exocaster]

Besides Facelift, does anybody know of any records where the Fish was used for the predominant tone?

Facelift is a Bogner-modded JCM 800. The Fish didn't show up until Dirt. AIC live stuff is Fish/MosValve or Fish/2:90. Their studio stuff is a blend of the Fish rack and just about everything else on the planet.

As for other albums, Operation Mindcrime and Empire IIRC, and there's some question as to whether it was used on Rust In Peace, though I wouldn't exactly call that an example of good tone. Chris Poland's been using one for a long while as well; still does.

That's all I can remember off the top of my head. Oh, and I think Dan Spitz from Anthrax used one for a while.

I have a Damage control Glass nexus...

it's a delay / reverb / multi-effects box..

it sounds amazing..pristine high end rack effects that sound way better than line 6 effects ( I have plenty of line 6 effects at my disposal)..

tube buffered, high sample rates, and simple to program..the only thing is the layout and size of the chassis is a bit clunky to say the least...

With peavey having Damage control and revalver under there veil the time has come for them to make a digital uber preamp for live and direct recording

( actually a buddy of mine there is a big-wig at peavey and he is interested in creating the peavey answer to the rocktron prophecy)..

Bastards! I have to wonder what it costs them to build it. After all, it is just a preamp, and it costs more than buying a full stack by most other brands.

My friend has a CAE+/VHT 2150 setup as well. He's a hard mustaine lover.

I notice that damage control is a division of Peavey. I wonder if they had any hand in the Vypyr series? I played with one at GC for a couple of hours and got very convincing tones out of the 75w version. Pretty neat little toy.

Played a damage control pedal the red one... it sounded like shit and it costed too much, anyway it was built really like a tank.
There's an advertisment on marshall site with mustaine, marshall is trying to get famous people to promote their stuff, I wish they come with a new design, something that could be considered as a new great marshall amp.
Marshall is not releasing a good amp in years.
