I try and fail to recreate Dino's UNOBTANEUM tone.
Tone is in the hands of the player (and the engineer, the mixer, the producer, the mastering engineer, the amp tech mod, the vynyl cutting lathe operator, the console engineers, the partidge in a pear tree).
Kemper that, bitch!
Dino:
JCM800 modded. Reports differ on the guitar. It was either a 6 string ESP with EMG 81 tuned down (more probable) or an ibanez 7 string guitar (UV7 with passive pickups?)
The metalhead mod consists of a push/pull added gain boost, push/pull added bass boost, added effects loop which was later, 100/50 watt switch, noise gate, and 6550 power tubes. 2 12AX7 preamp tubes are added to the preamp for the gain boost. Noise gate/suppressor.
Super chorus.
Cab: Mesa 4x12 with v30’s.
Colin Richardson produced but was pushed aside and didn’t mix it. Reece and Greg mixed. They quad tracking the guitars and also applying heavy EQ.
We used a 6 string BC Rich virgin with EMG81
Langner style modded JMP Marshall with 2 extra gain stages, bass boost, 2 preamp tunes added and EL34 tubes. Speaker was a Mesa Celestion V30 and sm57.
Boost was Fortin 33 pedal.
