Peavey 5150 | Peavey 6534+ | Solar Guitars | My favorite Death Metal guitar rig

[@fyndnflyp]

Sounds killer! I can only imagine it sounds way better from your perspective. My dream Amp is my old Mesa Boogie Rectoverb that I had to sell 4 years ago. And I’m dying for a custom BC Rich Ironbird with warlock headstock.

[@techdeathhippie6319]

I always use two half stacks as well . I tell people this : every tone you love on records is 99 percent blends of amps . So why not as well. I blend a wizard MTL2 and a Diezel Herbert.

[@DanGatesMetal]

That is true!

Absolutely brilliant vid thank you

Amazing! Got the same setup except a Tuberscream TS9. Nicely done.

You had me at "It's fucking brutal". Absolutely killer sound! I love my Mesa Mark V:25. Makes me think of getting a smaller Marshall head, like a DSL20H and run them stereo. Thanks for this video!

Man, I have been trying to figure out how to hook two of my amps up and have never came across that splitter. Now, how to run effects to both amps like delay and switch channels on both amps. This is where I came to the conclusion this is going to get really expensive to do that right. lol Killer rig! Sounds amazing!!

I run a similar setup as well, 2nd guitarist is gone now so i got a aby switcher and a boss rc-500 to kick on when I gotta play a different part than whats going on the other amp.

[@DanGatesMetal]

Which amps do you use?

[@aaronsg71]

I use the Radial Tonebone AB-Y splitter and you definitely need the ground and phase switches! I run my Marshall and Bugera each side of our practice room, I’m also the only guitar player, great fullness

[@DanGatesMetal]

Yeah ground and phase switches definitely make a big difference!

sick rig dude.... I think the plumes is a bit overkill though, I'd recommend a electric eye mudkiller etc

I did an updated version of this video without the plumes. I’ve never tried the mud killer.

Evertune + Boss TU? Is Necessary? Awesome setup...Salutes from Brazil !!!

[@DanGatesMetal]

I like to check the tuning occasionally. But it’s always in tune!

[@thiscorrosion900]

if you're playing professionally and touring, EVERY bloody musician should have a good board tuner or strobe tuner up with you. Even back in the late 1990s when I saw John Wesley Harding (the folk rock guy) at some small club in Brooklyn, every damned guy up there had a Boss tuner on the pedal board, clear as day. It's essential, at least if you're playing out live and/or recording.

[@CoreyAllgood]

Good god man. I really need to find a 6534+ to play with my 6505+. It sounds fucking stellar man!

[@DanGatesMetal]

Thanks! It’s a great amp!

[@blakeoms]

When you're standing in front of your cabinets like that are you projecting the voice of the amps+cabinets between your legs at 85+ Decibels? I'm usually standing beside the cabinet to avoid any damage to my ears (I have tinnitus really bad in one ear) And I'm curious if standing in front of them like that during practice would be painfully loud and dangerous

[@DanGatesMetal]

I wouldn’t call it painful but it’s definitely loud! Probably not the best idea without ear protection but I’ve definitely done it plenty of times!

[@asherplatts6253]

Out of phase sounded tighter and heavier to me, lol, probably just the camera mic being overloaded when in phase

[@DanGatesMetal]

Definitely more low end when in phase. So yeah I can understand why you would hear it that way! In the room definitely way better in phase!

[@tylerisagirl1]

But trust me, in this room, it's fucking brutal! I agree! Sounds awesome!

[@DanGatesMetal]

Thanks!🤘🤘🤘

[@bekot2813]

'In phase' means that with the phase buttom pushed in ?

[@DanGatesMetal]

For those amps yes. Not sure if it varies but seems like pushing the button in gets me in phase with my other amps too.

[@bekot2813]

@@DanGatesMetal Thanks bro. That video with lehle splitter solved my problem with grounding noise from my amps which was so big that I couldn't use both at the same time... I tried that splitter and it's beutifull now. Making killer tone with two amps at the same time now :)

[@thiscorrosion900]

Can I ask you, since nobody I've spoken to at the local guitar shops etc., seem to have any clue, is there ANY such thing as a smaller, practice or combo amp of any kind, that is suitable for home metal or thrash/death metal playing? Or, is it essentially impossible to get that kind of high gain sound out of anything like that, and you'd need at least a Marshall or Mesa head and cabinet and some of these pedals to get anything close? I figured it was nearly impossible, but I thought if anybody would know, it would be you! I mean, Line6 isn't cutting it, nor would I EVER buy a Fender, Vox, Orange, small amp for metal. Maybe a Boss Katana 100 watt combo, and that's if it's as good as they say, which I'm somewhat skeptical of. If you had a small Marshall Valvestate with a good metal pedal, could you get close?

[@DanGatesMetal]

I have a Peavey 6505+ 112 combo that sounds real good! I’ve also heard that the Peavey Vypyr is real good!

[@thiscorrosion900]

@@DanGatesMetal I had a feeling you might recommend Peavey. It seems that there are very few small practice or combo amps marketed for metal, given you normally need some serious high gain/power and preferabl,y, tube, action to get that sound. I don't think a Fender Champ is gonna cut it! I have heard the Peavey's are recommended for some metal. I keep reading comments on reviews on here from kids who say, hey my Line6 Spider is weak! And I'm like..yeah it's like 5-25 watts solid state! I just got a Blackstar V3 10 watt amp, and I would say it's fine for crunch, clean, some heavy metal hard rock styles, but that's about it. Then again, it's only the 10 watt version, although it's pretty impressively loud for that. I read Metallica started with all Marshall, then went to mainly MesaBoogie, but we're talking their live setups vs. recording studio setups, also.

[@thiscorrosion900]

@@DanGatesMetal I think it's Peavey for the win, because I'm not seeing many other combo options that are in the ballpark anyway. I guess a Marshall older Valvestate with a good pedal or two might do it.

[@DanGatesMetal]

You’re gonna get more balls with the bigger amps and cabs for sure. But my 6505+ combo sounds real good!

[@DanGatesMetal]

Ola did a video recently about the Vypyr. I’ve been thinking about buying one for my son.

[@brownsparlour9813]

what a fuckin sound bro!!

[@MK-oz2lf]

Dan, look into getting a TC electronics Mimiq doubler pedal I think this can help your live tone using a stereo set up kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqi1Y6tuoM2jqbs or the Eventide MicoPitch pedal with its dry signal at 0 which does the same thing kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpuxc595gKh5b7s I have the mimiq its pretty effective at having the second guitarist sound.
