Ok .. so I'm sitting in a friends car last night and this song comes on the radio.

Sick vocals, amazing guitar tone, killer everything ....

I'm like who the fuck is this .... "Opeth" he says ...I'm like really?

Over the years the cookie monster vocal thing has really turned me off to some heavier music. Honestly the only bands I deal with that shit from are Carcass and Testament .... well not any more.

From a new Opeth fan to the rest of you out there ... HOW COME YOU ALL NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS SOONER !!!!!

A question.....

Anyone know what Amps Michael uses? The guitar tone on this album is AMAZING!!
 
Boss GT6 or 8 into Laney clean channel live. In studio, they uses a variety like Mesa, Engl, etc..

In answer to this, I'm guessing that posts made on other forums hosted by ultimatemetal.com count towards this total. I've only made a few posts on the Opeth forum but my total would suggest otherwise...

Which song was it?

More importantly, which radio station plays Opeth?
 
From memory, Opeth.com has full session diaries in the discography section. Some of the more technical details are probably in there somewhere.

I envy people that have only just got into the band, there is so much to discover. Doing that in a short space of time, rather than over the last 12 years would be one Hell of a ride...

Mike uses Laney Amps, but I'm not sure what model. He also uses PRS Custom 24 guitars, both Double-cut and Single-cut. Yes, the tone on this album rules, and it's also great on every other Opeth album. If you want to get more quality stuff from Opeth, then go out and get Still Life, My Arms Your Hearse, and Blackwater Park ASAP!

He uses the VH-100 from Laney. Judging from the front panel, it's quite an "unsophisticated" amp, meaning it doesn't have gazillions of knobs and settings, but
a) better have 1-2 great tones than 100 crappy ones
b) Mike apparently only uses the clean channel (live) with all the sounds coming from the Boss GT-8 (GT-10 by now?)
 
Ohhhh how I would love to discover Morningrise, MYYH, Still Live, Blackwater Park, and Deliverance all over again. Sometimes it feels that way anyway if I go long enough without listening to one of those albums.

That's a very smart thing to do, seeing how often Opeth switches between cleans and distorted tones. It would suck to have to turn off 3-4 pedals and then turn on 3-4 more just to get a different tone out of a different channel. I use pedals, but I've been thinking about switching to a multi-effects unit.
