Well I have the Digitech RP-12 and it seems to give me a great Katatonia sound. If people think THAT sounds bad they're obviously playing through the wrong (or very bad) amps.
Katatonia amps!

Not very cerulean eh
I have an Epiphone as well :Smug:september said:
I couldn't say for the settings cos I use seperate Boos pedals and not the GT-3 combo.
I'm planning to throw my fucking Epiphone pick-ups out of my guitar though
and replace it with Seymour Duncans or EMG's. I think you should do something similar, as Epiphone pick-ups are eh... crappy.Cerulean said:I have an Epiphone as well :Smug:

EMG 81's. I put 2 in my Jackson Randy Rhoads and haven't looked back since

Uh? Aren't they any good? Many people told me they absolutely rule. Metallica used them on Master of Puppets.
Or did I just misunderstood :Smug:

No, the EMG's are awesome. I've been using them since '98 and they kick major ass. Stick 2 EMG 81's in your Epiphone and you'll be in heaven. They have a good smooth sound but when you want to blast out Metallica, Slayer or whoever else they sound wicked.
I think Metallica used them from Ride THe Lightning onwards but I'm not 100% sure. I used to know but... I know they still use them, once they started they never used anything else. So from the mid 80's til now. They also give you a rich smooth tone for songs like "Right Into The Bliss". I guess you'd just have to test them for yourself though, or read some reviews. But they have me completely sold, that's all I can say

Yeah, mine cost me about $500au. Well worth it though, now I just got to get me a good amp and I'll be set

disco my arse!
I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but is Peavey 5051 pre-amp?
And EMG's are pick-ups, right?(and damn good one?)

A peavey 5150 comes in different forms. You can get it as a head or a quad box, also as a standard amp. It was originally designed by Eddie Van Halen with Peavey.
EMG's are pickups. Yes, damn good ones

Oh yeah I forgot to say, I got the info about the amps from the daylight dies guys who were also using them on the tour... so it must be right, I think.
I really personally dont like the EMG 81's. They're only good for metal, you try to cool them down a bit for some texture & they blow. Way to much migh end in them, reall its high mids that are boosted in them, but same difference.
Most bands use amp distortion except, Opeth, Katatonia, Tiamat & I believe Cradle of Shit.

Are you sure Ander's used Matamps...I always thought he used Marshalls & not those little colored things!

Well, I was looking at the bands stack with puzzlement wondering what the amps were, so I turned to Barre from DD and said, WTF are those amps!?!?!? He then pointed out that beneath the katatonia sticker in small writing you can see the word Matamp by the controls...
