Devin also has a couple of Gibson SGs, right?

It's funny how Devin has a completely different approach to guitar sounds than I have. I don't mind the keyboards sounding digital and wacky, but I prefer my guitars to sound tube-y and dare I say it?.. old-school! I'd rather die a slow, horrible death than using that Roland GP-100
Besides, T-Rex has a made genius system called "Mac-1", which you can connect all your old, heavenly sounding stomp-boxes to. Thus it's not so complicated to operate 10 different stomp-boxes anymore.
You can't beat the sound of a Fulltone Octave pedal or a Diamond Memory Lane, just to name a few examples.

Though I must admit: Devin's music IS very unique and his sounds fit in nicely with it.

We also recorded Synchestra with the rectifier.

Whoawhoawhoa, you're telling me there's no Peavey on Synchestra?

Thats right! Just a Mesa and a tube screamer.

Well, if memory serves correctly, Dev switched to the Rectos because he felt that the 5150s' bassiness overpowered the bass of the other instruments in the band, drums included. While I agree this does occur, I still prefer the 5150 sound. It just sounds beefier and punchier. I certainly love mine. I also run my GP-100 through the effects channel of the 5150. I know it's not a conventional setup, but it works for me. By the way, if anyone has ever wondered about the quality of the Boss NS-2 Noise Suppresor pedal, your concerns are needless. If set right (i.e. if you read and follow the setup procedure in the manual), it will KILL any pickup noise from your guitar and never lay a finger on your tone or sustain. It's really quite amazing. Just don't abuse it.

Hey beav, would you mind giving us some sort of details on your amp / dev's amp setup when you play live? If ya don't want to then no offence taken

Beav + drop tuned guitar = sexy magik

Well I honestly dont know what Devs setup is, and as for me it is always a bit different as different rooms have different sounds. So I actually dont really have an answer for this?

I also prefer the 5150 sound over a Recto. Recto's sound good, but they just aren't as metal sounding, you know? I guess the common complain with the 5150 is it's kinda buzzy sounding. Getting a bias pot installed and baising it hotter improves this, as well as the clarity. They sound pretty damn cool stock though, when set up right.

My favourite Devy tone by far is City though. That's one of the most brutal, punchiest tone i've ever heard. Supposedly the album was done with an amp called a "Morin" or something?

BTW The ISP Decimator is an even better noise gate than the NS-2.

Well, I don't know about that. Eric Peterson's Dual Recto tone on Testament's The Gathering is pretty damn metal. The same can be said for Kirk Weinstein's Mesa tone on Crowbar's Odd Fellows Rest.

Funny you say that, I'm actually a huge Crowbar fan.

What makes you think Kirk Windstein used a Mesa Recto on Odd Fellows Rest? Kirk only uses Mesa Recto cabs as far as i know? Not recto heads. He's used old Randall RG100ES and HT heads on all of the albums. They're the same amps Dimebag used to use, actually.
