Capturing Peace Sells... Guitar Tone - Marshall DSL20 & Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor Pickups

[@DharynSimmerX]

Chris Poland solos are out of this world on this record. I think he was the best complementary to Dave guitar styles. Jazz and metal blended really well

[@LambChopper678]

He’s one guitar player that I’ve never been able to cover. His fluid effortless style and interesting phrasing puts him right up there. Amazing player and to end up with Peace sells and rust in peace from one band is crazy

[@Superjet113]

@@LambChopper678 Yes, I love watching Chris Poland play!

[@scorchin6481]

True Story, my buddy and I met Chris in the early 80’s,he would come by the house and Jam and listen to us playing. He gave my friend a BC Rich Guitar, said it came out of a Dumpster, and that Dave smashed the Guitar in a fit of Rage. It had a broken Off Headstock that was repaired, wonder what that thing is worth now? Great Playing and Tone LC!

[@seagullpoet]

I bought a Chris Poland solo project instrumental CD. Pretty good !

[@trendkill3333]

Firing Chris was one of Daves worst decisions. Chris was and still is an incredible player

[@jamescarter3708]

Brilliant Lamb. In a modern guitar world dominated by plugins and modelers, you're recreating these classic, bedrock, metal tones with a few pedals, and a lot of time tinkering. Along with your awesome playing, these tone videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you Lamb \m/

[@AmadChima]

At this point I think you should be getting paid by Marshall since everyone now wants one after watching your videos! Seriously considering one for myself too - great tones!

Yeah...Chris and Gar were so unique in their playing styles that gave Peace Sells a “swing” that has never been duplicated. Many consider Rust in Peace their magnum opus, but I think Peace Sells is their best work.

[@MakeTheMusic]

Dude, the fact that you were able to get in the ballpark is impressive. I've spent wayyyy too much time trying to get close with vst, tape emulator, ect.. and it is just crazy difficult. There is a weird combination of really airy highs, yet super dark, but cutting like a chainsaw. There is also very little gain as you pointed out, but it just feels so powerful, like you can feel the air move in the room. I just copied the RIP tone on my channel, and hope to get as close as you did with Peace Sells, but I doubt it. Your videos freaking rock, God Bless!

[@zlymaciek]

I'm really impressed with that AMP, I think I'm gonna get one, thanks to you. What are your speakers in cab?

[@LambChopper678]

The Mesa 1x12 cab I used has a v30 in it

[@INVERTEDBUKAKI]

Great Amp I use a greenback 1x12 for 70s and 80s rock and cream back 75 for metal with it.

[@frdyyung5524]

I am actually looking into it, which speaker to buy, greenback or creamback. From videos I thought the greenback.. xD I am also looking for a metal sound and possibly good tone at low volume ;) so you definitely suggest the creamback?

[@lesliehollands2689]

V30 Recto Cab

[@Snooperrs]

I hope you get paid for these promotions cause I bought mine about 2 weeks ago and I fucken love it.

[@jaredray7001]

Bro I just discovered your videos and I'm totally binging on the catalog! I'm 42 and these are all the tones I grew up chasing and you got the keys to the city for sure! Great ear, great taste in music, great videos! Keep up the good work!!!!

[@LukeCannotSkate]

Peace Sells was my favourite album from the start and it still is. It's so amazing! I love how undergained the guitar is, it's just incredible writing and playing that makes it so heavy. And propably volume haha

[@jeremyrock9305]

Mine too !

[@tonymcnamara9368]

God I love Peace sells!! What an album!! There's literally no filler at all!

[@a.kguitars930]

The reason why this tone is so hard to replicate is because both Dave and Chris used a Tom Scholz Rockman to boost the Marshalls they were using at the time (probably JCM 800, JMP 2204) through older Marshall cabs with blackback speakers in them.

[@Blaze_1221]

I use this tone with my DSL 100 watt head in my band to compliment our lead guitarist’s Peavy 6505. Even beyond as a Peace Sells copy cat. It’s a great useable tone live

[@firecrystals2602]

What settings do you use? I have the DSL 40 so it should be the same as your amp

[@mcewanschampion]

Easiest their best album, so thankful I grew up on this.

[@Jddkeibdh]

The more I watch your videos, the more I want a DSL20HR for myself! Brutal!!

I got it mostly because of this gentleman - and it's unbelievably good, like really off this world.

[@Jddkeibdh]

@ I'm going to get it in a few months, I have no idea if a 2x12 or 1x12 cabin though. What would you suggest for playing at home?

@@Jddkeibdh At home, 1x12 will suffice, although I'm getting 2x12 in a month since it just gives a fuller sound in a band environment!

[@Jddkeibdh]

@ Cool! What are you getting? What cabin would you recommend me ?

@@Jddkeibdh I'm getting a Harley Benton V30 2x12, it's a really nice cab for a remarkable price, since V30 speakers alone cost more than the whole cab!

[@karlsnyper]

My favorite megadeth album, amazing tone and superb songwritting. Thanks for this great episode!

[@zDialecticChaos]

Loved this video! I listen to Peace Sells all the time, it is incredible to listen to. Really goes to show Mustaine's genius song writing! I play the songs all the time and now I am going to make this tone on my Marshall Code amp, its cool because I have different marshall amps (digitally) haha. Thanks!

[@7mechanix]

I guess I just always took it for granted that Dave was playing normal power chords during the verses of Peace Sells. I was surprised to see and hear you play it that way, so I watched him closely on Rude Awakening. Sure enough, he does play it that way (about 1:23 for a clear shot). Thanks for showing me that, it always sounded off when I played it myself.

[@jeremyrock9305]

Spider chords

Mustaine and Poland used Marshall 100 Watts, Rockman 4-4, DeCuir cabinets with Celestion speakers. Poland also used a Fender Twin Reverb for some parts.

[@yearginclarke]

@@yearginclarke they used em for clean parts and chris put them into the amps for his lead tones

You were spot on saying this is the holy grail of tone. And you could always get a Scott Ian King V and drop those pickups in it. It's got the Tune O Matic bridge. That guitar is on my list....one of these days.

[@LambChopper678]

It’s a nice looking guitar but 24 3/4 scale is a bit small. They are very cool though

I’m really sold on those pickups. The more I hear you play with them they literally sound like an active JB. I have no idea how Seymour Duncan got so much grit and attack out of them without a battery lol. Awesome job on the tones as always! This is my favorite Megadeth album love Poland’s solos.

[@jacobvitthuhn1746]

Great job! These videos lately have me wanting 1 of these Marshalls!

[@jacobvitthuhn1746]

If you got the matching dsl cabinet, how do you like the celestion vs the Mesa V30? I ask b/c Sweetwater offers a matching vertical 2x12 for the 20 watt head. One of my reservations is that it wouldn't be loud enough to play with a band.

[@jamesamescua8647]

That’s it I’m getting this amp. You sold me on it. And I think you got dav’s playing style down. The best playing and tone I have ever heard.

[@michaelbarber590]

I had a Scholz Rockman X100 about 33 years ago and I could almost perfectly nail a lot the tones on that album (as well as Boston and Def Leopard). Probably because Chris Poland used the same thing on the recordings. You've done an amazing job of emulating the heaviest tones from Dave's Marshalls on that album though.

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

I'd love an angry again cover and tone video! I think it's an underrated song of theirs. I have always really liked it even though it's not one of their heavier ones.

[@flyingrhoads]

Thanks for taking my suggestion from the So Far So Good tone test!!!!

[@JLGUITARMUSIC7]

Have to be honest...sometimes i really just want to plug my guitar and just play with whatever i have handy...but u make us use our minds and ears much better...so many things involve...Marshall a must..looks like one of these iq box also...hope you can enlighten us with which one is the more flexible , popular and budget friendly...thanks so much @lambchopper...🤘🤘🤘🤘...you rock man!

[@LambChopper678]

Thank you brother, I think a boss sd-1 overdrive in the front and an mxr 6 band eq in the loop will conquer most metal tones. Both pedals are cheap and used with the DSL can achieve so many great tones. I think this little Marshall is the best amp I’ve ever had

[@Ledmetacdc]

I know I read an interview where Dave said they used these little belt clip pocket amps for overdubs. He didn't say why, but called them "Rockmans" in the interview. Since reading it I think if it's true, it's a big part of that out of control sound. The layering of that weird solid state belt amp with the Marshalls. Awesome job as always, I love these videos and I think like everyone else here it's made made consider the Marshall DSL 20 when I wouldn't have otherwise.

[@jdavisdaman]

You are absolutely the MAN!

[@MrGul]

You most likely know this already, but I'm thinking that not all your viewers do: the thing about "pushing the needle into the red" when recording is a thing that works wonders for creating a warm saturated sound when recording on analog sources (like tape) but it doesn't work the same way with digital recording equipment like the USB audio interfaces that most of us are using today. Since that signal is digital, as soon as you cross the threshold for going into the red, you are hard clipping the signal which creates an ugly and very sharp distortion that is much different to the soft clipping signal of analog gear. It's very likely that the lead tones on this album had the needle in the red region when recording, because they did record that album on analog tape.

[@nihilist92]

Sounds great as always! Yeah the riffs are all over the place on that album and don’t make much sense traditionally. I dread to think of that the tab books are like for this one haha!
