Does anyone know what amps At the Gates used on Slaughter of the Soul? I've always loved that tone. I did a search but all I found was a homemade cabinet.
Thanks

I remember reading here that it was actually some highly-regarded Peavey solid-state amp of that era (Supreme 160 or something), though it might not have been the only source of the tone...
I actually just found the answer. You're right. It was the Peavey Supreme 160, with a Metalzone and HM-2 pedal into the clean channel, along with the homemade cab.

I've also heard something about using some sort of combo amp put in a crate full of packing peanuts. Don't know whether this is anywhere near the truth or not, but you know...

I still use my Supreme 160+Od808 with 5150 blend to this day! Mine was manufactured on 10-31-91, making it extra evil.:Smokedev: I have seen them for as low as $150. Great amp!

I have a feeling the Slaughter of the Soul guitar sound only works in the context of that specific mix.... I think Andy has made a comment like that before as well, but if you really listen, it's not THAT great of a guitar sound... Just works well for that album.

It's possible. But even when it's just the guitar I hear, I really like that sound. The same way I love Bloodbath's guitar tone on Ways to the Grave.
5150 blend? You run through 2 amps?

Actually, yeah. I've done it live with 2 amps, splitting after the 808 with a stereo flanger pedal. I've blended the 2 amps tracking too. The tone is so fucking tight with the 160.

I'm in the same boat as FORBIDDEN.
It's an AWESOME tone for the album, but I personally cannot see myself using that tone for my own music! I actually got a VERY similar tone with my Mark IV, I posted the settings up somewhere! If anyone wants them let me know
Cheers

Unless you have the exact same drum tone, same bass tone, same vocal production, same riffs, same people playing the riffs, and Fredrik Nordstrom behind the desk, that guitar sound will suck. Don't be such a dick
i think the drum and vocal sound are pretty standard and if anything have influenced the way albums by bands like killswitch and a i l d sound nowadays. therefore i would have to agree with genius

True that, a good guitar tone is a good guitar tone, and I would say the Slaughter... tone is only good because it fits the style/band - in other words, only good because of excuses made for it IMO
