Marshalls for CARCASS
- Thread starter Carcass29
- Start date
They were both using 5150's when they played here in Finland at Tuska 2008.
They were in great shape and you could really tell that they were having a good time. Bill did some awesome growl's as well, which was a suprize since I remember reading that he refused to do his growl parts on this tour.
I have been a huge Carcass fan for years, so I was a bit nervous about seeing them live, since it could be a total bummer, but they were even better than I dared to imagine!

Sorry that im bumping this thread.
Uhm, a friend of mine works and organises lots of festivals. Like he did with Loud from the South. And yes Carcass had played there.
Carcass had a few demands: Flight and hotel were payed, drumkit available, and a backline available. Drummer used some of his own stuff.
He also said that michael amott had a huge pedalboard with lots of pedals. And after every song, he went to his pedalboard to adjust some stuff.
The backline had a 5150, but he used a marshall.

Oh no...not this again.
K, can anyone confirm ONCE AND FOR ALL what amp(s) were used on Heartwork? I keep hearing rumours and hearsay but nothing concrete for fact.

5150s, and some sort of 20w marshall practice amp. Maybe someone else can specify further,

How sure are you of this? I'm totally not tryin to be a prick here but I've just heard so much speculation about how they crafted such groundbreaking tone (Heartwork is one of my top favs of all time, bought the fucker when it came out!) Definitely doesn't sound like a sole 5150 from what I can tell....I am assuming its the first one (ie not 5150 II?)
Totally sounds like the definitive 5150 tone to me, and yes, it's the standard 5150 + Marshall practice amp (though not an even mix, naturally, I think you can guess which is more prominent of the two. This is straight from the mouth of Colin Richardson on some post here like 4 years ago.
ok, details as far as info gathered from Andy and Colin Richardson and various sources on the web over the years. Andy stated he used to own Bill Steers 5150 head(script signature) not block sig... model was used along with a 12 watt marshall mini stack for added texture. I also remember hearing that a Marshall Slx was used(el34's) and the 30th Marshall 6100(blue tolex model) used on channel 2. Also Colin stated that Bill was unhappy with the scratchy guitar tone he was getting so after alot of different methods...he used 2 Marshall cabs taped together facing back to back(removing the rear panels) and closing off the speaker holes on one cabinet with plywood or foam if I remember correctly. Final mix...2 tracks Bill Steer and 2 Mike Amott. Anybody care to chime in incase I'm mistaken? ...think that's the just of it guitar wise. Recorded at Parr Street studios
I'll have backstage passes at the NYC show Saturday so if I remember to ask him I will...he's probably sick of this question by now

dang, I figured it would have been some $2,000 pre I'd only be able to drool over. That thing is actually cheap/affordable (to me)! Might have to check one out.
This guy has a great Heartwork tone from a Powerball:

That's a JCM 2000 TSL in that video. Two rows of knobs, but not across the whole face of the amp like the new JVMs.
Honestly, I don't get the "love the DSL/hate the TSL" thing. They sound pretty similar, assuming they're properly biased with decent tubes and dialed in right. They've got more bottom (and a lot more gain) than the older (JCM 800/JMP MV) Marshalls, but they're muddier in the low mids and not as aggressive to my ears.
I would have to disagree. I would go as far to say the TSL is possibly the worst sounding tube head Marshall has ever produced. The DSL is a great amp, capable of most styles. I've always found the TSL to be shrill, muddy in the low end, poor sustain and lacks gain. Our last rhythm guitarist has a TSL, he also has a 70's super lead, a 6505 and the horrible sounding Randall X2. When we found out what other amps he had, we made him leave the TSL at home. The 70s SL with a Keely Metal Zone walked all over the TSL. He eneded up using the 6505 regularly.
