Meshuggah to use Tube amps on new album

[kvoid]

I wish they weren't so horribly dry and brittle sounding.
but I guess that's very good for the djenty stuff

+1

future djent machine.

no thanks.

I really wanted to like it, what with the 6c33's in it..but I guess there's people that like that kinda thing. Sure beats the shit out of the woeful Linesux tones they had.

Tube amps yay! Now lets just hope the songs are good...

Am I the only one skeptical that using tube amps is going to change the sound much at all? I can't help but think that the tones on the last few albums were picked because they are sounds that the band likes. I've certainly heard more tube-like tones coming from PODs.

I kind of had the same thought. I think that Marten and Fredrik (maybe even the whole band) have a totally different tonal concept than a lot of people on this board. So, I doubt using tube amps is going to be 'make or break'. I just hope they keep going with what they did on Obzen since I know I won't be getting Destroy Erase Improve back

I don't much care for the sound of those DAR amps either based on clips I have heard so far. Meshuggah should use whatever amps they used on Destroy Erase Improve or Chaosphere. Their sound was huge and crushing on both those cd's.

Edit: I just went and listened to some DEI. This DAR amp might be perfect for some Meshuggah style music. So I am full of poop. I am curious to hear what the DAR sounds like in a proper mix.
