Swallow the sun /Orange amps

[HandsOfDespair]

Does somebody knows which amps sts use, especially on their last album ''Hope''. I REALLY love their guitar sound. On their website they say they use orange amps and engl powerball, but from what I heard orange amps don't have enough gain for this kind of metal, so I'm wondering if it is only a powerball...

Thanks!

The Rockerverb and Thunderverb would have enough gain easily. Remember its all about quad-tracking, so its layers of gain and also the thickness of that Orange cab that gives it 'that tone'. My bet would be on the Rockerverb, as the Thunderverb wasn't out when Hope was recorded. Awesome band btw!

You heard wrong. Way wrong.

Well, in the right hands an orange amp can crank just as well as...well...krank.

But in the wrong hands you end up sounding like Switchfoot.

I got a response from their endorser (Musamaailma), and they said they are using either 50 or 100 watt Orange Rockerverb

Slipknot's Jim Root is using an Orange (can't remember which one exactly) as well as a guy from Maylene and the sons of disaster and they don't sound undergained or something...

Jim is in this month's GuitarWorld. he uses the Rockerverb.

Uhhh, what? The presence of a TS hardly counts, since IT IS NOT BEING USED AS A BOOST BUT ONLY FOR ITS EQ EFFECT ARRRRGGGHHHHH (don't know if that's what you were implying, but I figured I'd make a preemptive strike )

I don't think a TS counts as a whole heck of a lot, where I've seen Root's rig and there's tons of shit in it.

Do those tonnes of shit add to his tone? I mean is that where most of us are going wrong? Do we all need to take a dump inside our amps?

P.S Sorry I'm in a sarcastic mood.

i'm tellin' ya. try a Rockerverb. any thoughts of Orange being low-med gain will end right there. i tried the 50w head through an Orange 2x12 and was very impressed. top notch construction, features, and sound. if i had the cash, i would have bought it.

Jämy indeed uses orange with an orange cabinet. Raivio plays with Engl Powerball connected to a Krank cabinet.
But they told me that they had at least four individual tracks recorded/each take. A couple of differend cabinets and stuff...
At least on the last album.

I've been planning to starve for a Rockerverb or a Roadster. Not sure what to do.

 

[Metaltastic]

Well the Rockerverb is the cheaper option, so that's a few weeks less malnourishment...

I've got a Tiny Terror, and an Orange 1x12 Vintage 30... put a tube screamer in front of it and it's pretty damn tight. I've got a Gibson with stock pickups, and a Jackson with EMG81s. The EMGs tend to be a bit flatter sounding, but get much more distortion out of that amp. The Gibson gives me a sound VERY similar to The Sword

Rockerverb ftw

 

[Metaltastic]

Bumping this thread, cuz while the guitar tone is of course incredible, the bass and toms especially really fucking blow me away as well. Anyone know what was used for bass on this album?
