But if you want a more channel glamrock kinda amp i can also suggest the marshall DSL or the 6100LM (verry cool amp but hard to get). The 6100LM is anniversary model which got all the older marshalls in there JTM45, plexi, jcm800, jcm900.<br /> Also the marshall vintage modern is verry good sounding. And if you want something else then marshall the new EVH 5150III is verry lovely. All great amps!!</p> <p>For a note: charvel has left the usa.. All charvels from now gonna be made in asia. So if you want a USA charvel? BE QUICK!<br /> I would love to have a white charvel so-cal... </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-33208 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 02:31:11 +0000 Chaos Axe 33208@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>After watching some clips,i'm very interested in the Egnater 4100 Tourmaster. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-32969 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 05:22:30 +0000 gunzzz 32969@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>cool ass shit man.PRS guitars and Marshall amps are the root to my sound,and of course a chorus,wah or tuner between the guitar and the amp.I think the tube models give you that great glam rock tone,I never play live or do a session with out that gear. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-32429 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 19:30:46 +0000 specgabe696 32429@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>oh, i didn't read what was goin on this topic!!!<br /> i was answering the the old question</p> <p>'Bout my gear...</p> <p>GUITARS<br /> -Gibson Flying V faded (with 3 pickups)<br /> -Charvel San Dimas 2 2H<br /> -Jackson Performer Randy Rhoads PS-3</p> <p>AMP.<br /> -Peavey Valveking 212</p> <p>Pedals<br /> -Boss Metal Zone<br /> -Vox V847 Wah</p> <p>each guitar i tune differently, the gibson i have tune down half step(from E), the Charvel is normal and the jackson is tuned one step down. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-32428 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 19:03:13 +0000 Bl4cFoxx 32428@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p><strong>Guitar</strong></p> <p>Dean Razorback DB - Everything is stock<br /> *Currently saving for another guitar, don't know what I want tho yet.</p> <p><strong>Amp</strong></p> <p>Egnater 4100 Tourmaster with matching cab loaded with Celestion Vintage 30's.</p> <p>Plug's in like this:</p> <p>Guitar &gt; Pedal Tuner &gt; Amp </p> <p>I absolutely love my amp, the 4 channels and the versatility is awesome. Clean / Vintage 1 has some of the sickest cleans I've ever heard But if you crank the bass and gain all the way, I've had a pretty cool 'Pearl Necklace' by ZZ Top tone as well! Clean / Vintage 2 is pretty sick for a mostly clean sound with a little grind on it, or that's what I use it for anyways. The Overdrive 1 channel, with the switch on the Classic setting, can sound pretty close to an old cranked Marshall, and on the Modern setting it can get a hair metal tone pretty easy. The Overdrive 2 channel has ridiculous amounts of gain, and that's coming from an absolute gain-head, if that's a term at all. lol. But that's either for solos, or if you like to play thrash or heavier stuff, like I do. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-32426 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 04:16:22 +0000 Glamrockerfs 32426@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I use a Charvel USA production Series San Dimas Type 1 with Seymour Duncan JB and 59 Pickups .<br /> I use an Egnater Tourmaster 4100 Half Stack.

The best pickup in my mind is The Seymour Duncan JB. Used by Warren Demartini,and Jake E Lee to be specific. Pickup is probably more important then guitar brand You don't want a pickup thats too distorted or too heavy sounding. Any guitar with that pickup could get a good glam sound pretty easy. But for specific guitar brands, Charvel, Jackson, BC Rich, or many Gibsons (especially for more rock n'roll and sleaze influence glam) but those are just my perception, everything in your settup adds up, amp, cables, effects, with guitar get the one that feels best for you. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-25348 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 08:31:22 +0000 Guitarsmurf 25348@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>The Dean V79 is pretty cool or the Ibanez RG350M-YE (bright yellow with a maple fretboard). Ampwise go for a midsize 100w solidstate combo if you're on a budget, like the Marshall MG102 or the Kustom HV100T. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-25274 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:41:18 +0000 gunzzz 25274@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Bc Rich,great sounding rock guitar.I like Prs but thats a guitar that is more versital to play everything. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-19021 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 22:42:27 +0000 Metalrev1 19021@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I would try a Jackson - Flying V , or Something with a tremlo bar on it, for amp i would go with Crate, any crate that has a seperate head and cabinet., half stack. Or something with tubes in it. They have that 80's sound. And throw in a Boss Chorus Pedal. The Kramer Berettas are nice but kinda expensive. About 600 bucks, Good luck </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-17160 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 05:19:04 +0000 Bl4cFoxx 17160@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I don't care. lol. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/help-me-forum/glam-metal-guitar-038-amps#post-17158 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:31:11 +0000 Rockstarz102 17158@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"I have a Rick Allen Strat.
