Amplifier and cab setup for Jackal-Headed Guard of the Dead recording session 2013
I got my Fender in 1995 for 175 quid. It is very fucking loud. I think it sounds great for all the heavy distorted music I make. Whether that be stoner, sludge, grind, punk or black metal. If you want a scooped sound or ultra futuristic digitally saturated sound you can fuck off.
