This guy is a perfect example of why I hate these type of videos, and all the misinformation spread on the web as a result.

Funny thing -- I have had HIGH GAIN amps--- I have a couple "semi high gain" amps presently-- I dont USE that much gain in my tone --
70's break up-- or MAYBE the occasional 80's hair band level of gain when Im feeling "jiggy" ..... but to have the massive amounts of modern metal gain on tap ........not my bag man
I can respect and enjoy OTHERS playing it ....... but Im gonna roll a slow blues jams with a touch of dirt and cruise on.........
Maybe thats why the dos MESAs didnt last......or the DSLs .................and if I WANT to dial up some (REALLY, THEY WAS MADE IN THE 80's) GAIN I have the Bandit 112 (stupid levels of gain) and the Marshall VS8020
OH also as a "side" --- is this basically a DUMBLE IN A BOX ?

Those weren't their amps, they were provided by the studio for the shoot and they recorded several songs. Iommi has had more than a few negative things to say about Orange amps over the years, I think based on being asked over and over about the ones used in that video. At the time that was shot he was using (primarily) Laneys.

Y'know, I've taken the same trip and arrived at the conclusion that I prefer high gain amps for all purposes. Now, I don't come anywhere near using all the gain on tap, usually it's only up between 10 and 11 o'clock, but there is just something about a preamp having all those gain stages that seems to make it that much more responsive and touch-sensitive. At least for me.

HEY THOSE SNEAKY BASTARDS ARE AT IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Electro-Harmonix MIG-50 Guitar Amp Head
Dripping with genuine saturated tube tone, the MIG-50 features two independent normal and high-gain channels. A pair of Tung-Sol 5881 tubes power this beast.

Could you do me a favour? Play heavily palm muted down-picking and riffing with your usual settings. I want to see how it sounds , oh, dont forget to boost it,please thanks in advance.
gball
Ambassador of Boogie
It would indeed.
I love the tone of those Diezels, and obviously Adam Jones knows how to wring the most out of them. But...
The best sounding amps available, at least to these tired ears, are Mesa Mark 5's and Bogner Uberschall's.

I'll have to wait until tomorrow now. What do you mean by boost it? You want an overdrive up front?
Ramo
AmTHRASHador of Chugz
Yes please, put level max dr 0 and tone 1 o’clock. Thanks

Here you go Ramo. Red channel, gain on 7 and I have my Boss Super Overdrive set as you requested. It makes a very small difference, but you can hear it.
Ramo
AmTHRASHador of Chugz
Thanks, man, you are a star thanks for doing that. Yea, the sound is good od makes a small difference but when you are in the room you feel it. Did you have a noise gate on?
awesome riffs and thanks for doing my request.

I don't have a noise gate as of yet Ramo. Having the OD on is growing on me. It adds quite a bit of definition to the sound.

I love it with od and i only play with od, like you said, it ads definition and tightness the low end. Keep jamming on it you will like it.
