"The Powerless Rise" - Which amps?

[nervirasme]

Does anyone know which guitar amps were used on this album?

Thanks!

Might be, but still not sure 'cause the guys in AILD are using mostly Kranks, and as far as I know it was the Randall on "An Ocean Between Us"...

I am interested in this as well.

On the studio vids I remember seeing a Framus Cobra and a Soldano SLO. Don't know if these made it into the record, tho.

The only thing Tim mention's on the band's blog is this:

This time Colin seems to have spent a little more time on the guitars because he had more resources (mainly amps & cabs that we owned) available to him. The original guitars were tracked with one amp, but in the final mix we changed our minds and Colin reamped them with a different sound. That part alone took 3 days!

*BIG TIME AILD fan here, in case you didn't notice*

I've worked with one of their engineers a couple times. Colin reamped with a 6505+ I believe.

...And if we could get Colin to join this thread it would save the day...

Tracked with a soldano and framus cobra but the 5150III was also used with 6505+....now they use them on tour, seems they do this every tour based on amps used for the record. they twittered during the mixing all the amps that didn't make the cut.

I thought Adam D. did the new AILD.

Found this in one of the interviews with Nick Hipa about this album specifically:

"Amp wise, we got our rhythm tones with a Peavey 6505+ and that head actually beat out almost every other head you can think of. We tried all sorts of different heads for the rhythms such as a Randall head, a Diezel, a Engl, some Kranks, Mesa-Boogies, we tried them all, but the Peavey won out. It was the biggest shootout ever. And for the leads and stuff, we used a Soldano SLO-100."

I guess this is the answer... or at least I hope he's talking about the final reamped sound of the guitars...
