If we're talking straight up "heavy metal" a'la Priest/Dio/Accept a wall of 800's would do nicely.
My favourite hair metal tones all seemed to be either some kind of tweaked Marshall (I'll count an ADA MP-1 in here) or Mark series amp. Same deal for thrash tones too.
Having someone like Michael Wagener behind the desk would be pretty nice as well![]()
I try and try to use the 800 in the fractal units for these type of tones but I just can't get it there. If you have any tips I'm all ears...and if not that's fine tooIf we're talking straight up "heavy metal" a'la Priest/Dio/Accept a wall of 800's would do nicely
Use a different amp. Cliff ChaseI try and try to use the 800 in the fractal units for these type of tones but I just can't get it there. If you have any tips I'm all ears...and if not that's fine too![]()
I mean very true lol I'm half expecting for him to come in here and tell me that. But as Leon said that's just what I gravitate to for that genreUse a different amp. Cliff Chase![]()

I'll give it another try!That's seems strange to me, because I only really ever use the 800s in the Fractal. To really get the 80s
vibe with them you have to have a boost on pretty much all the time, though.
Splawns are on the short list of amps if I go back. I had a nitro which was fine but the QR seems to be where it's atfor straight 80s metal...a JCM800 with a boss SD-1 or an ibanez TS of some sort.
even better, straight outta the box and plugged in...a splawn quick rod.

Thing is Andre is that Metal tones from the 80's varied quite a bit, like the glam/ Hair metal tonesperfect 80s metal tone.
true. when i think 80s (i graduated high school in 1987), i think hair metal. :)Thing is Andre is that Metal tones from the 80's varied quite a bit, like the glam/ Hair metal tones
were very different from the Thrash scene and the Hard rock Scene as well
all of them at one point or another used JCM800's
