Gear used on first album?

[I_Am_The_Fury]

I have been listening to Between Heaven and Hell over and over again lately and I have decided the guitar tone is probably my favorite out of any albums yet. I really want to know what Gus used on this album. I heard something about Gus using Marshall JCM 2000's back then, but I must know! Anyone have a clue?

Instead of hearing rumours, maybe I can tell you how it was recorded
Basically because there was no budget at all, I recorded all guitars in my room on my Boss 8 track recorder. The amp I used was a Fender rockpro (I think it was called like that) combo, which is one of their high gain amps. That distortion was pretty good.

At the time I lived on the 5th floor, so you can imagine how everyone that lived below me, felt! I was playing loud nonstop for a couple of weeks, recording my guitar parts!!

Finally, that guitar tone definitely has a unique and "different" character but its definitely not the best. if u wanna hear some really KILLER guitar tone, check out "The Premonition"

ahaha I can imagine how pretty much everyone else in the apartment building lived with that poor them... no I'm kidding, you're awesome.

Thank you so much Gus! You are the best!

He doesn't lie by the way.

When me and Alan lived together we lived on the 2nd floor and our neighbours HAAAATED us! Well, more specifically Alan's Marshall amp!!!

Hah. So apparently this Fender Rock Pro is a solid state!

Oh, but they have a tube pre amp I think. If I find one of these for cheap I will have to go into sheeping for a bit.

Yes! You were playing a strat back then?! And no pedals then?

Agreed, i noticed i listen to 'between heaven and hell' the most, love the tone myself i was faffing for days with my amp and pedal(s) to play pictured life and northern sky.
most first albums are more raw, right? - prob due to the lack of budget

the Premonition tone is kick ass though from first chord.... so much so i got a snap shot of the effects board (pedals) at hellfire, Cheers =)

peace

I picked up a Fender Roc Pro head for cheap today. Sounded great when I tried it out, even the cleans are nice.
