Title: SS metal amp list and user(abuser) list
Post by: mad hatter on April 11, 2008, 12:22:40 AM
Hey fellow SS users.

This is how I thought about doing this thread:
I'll start off a preliminary list of the make and model and the users I know of and (and which albums, if the guitarist changed amps).  As you post, I'll take your additions or corrections and go back and edit my post to keep it up to date.

I am leaning more toward heavy music - grind, death metal, doom, black metal, hardcore punk, screamo (the real kind), etc...

I was planning on making a webpage as a SS metal amp resource center (photos, schematics, artists, the works), so this will be a great first step.  It am busy with life so the page isn't going to be a top priority, but slowly it will happen.

Photos of the guitarist and the amp would be a huge plus, too.  I have a few.  So would one or 2 mp3s of each artist.  I plan on puttign these on my site, so people can hear what it sounds like.  Some of the albums are hard to find.
