But there are a few tunes where it’s important. However, for the oldest material, reverb might make things sound more vintage-ish.įinally, you should also have a wah pedal. You can also use just a dash of chorus on some of the 1980s stuff. I’d suggest you get a noise gate for the “Painkiller” tone and later stuff. Downing and Glenn Tipton weren’t that extravagant. But modern stuff would require some high-gain pedals.Īs for other effects, K.K. You can even plug it directly into a power amp section of a tube amp.Īnother option is to use regular classic distortions in the style of Boss DS-1 for this mid-period. Despite what some people might think, Boss Metal Zone gets it right.
And it’s surprisingly good, believe it or not.įor the late 1980s and onwards, you could get things done with a classic metal pedal.
In my experience, the classic Marshall and Ibanez Tube Screamer work really well.īehringer has a super-cheap alternative to Tube Screamer. Preferably, you should use it as a booster for the clean channel. If you’re doing their older material, I suggest an overdrive into a Marshall amp. It’s especially a great choice for “Painkiller” stuff in my opinion. If you’re using a modern amp, you could just use the amp’s distortion channels. Even stuff with 6L6 tubes can sound great. EVH amps are probably the easiest choice. If you want something for “Painkiller” or later stuff, I’d suggest high-gain amps. In my opinion, Marshall can get you covered for all three tone categories that I mentioned. If you’re using any kind of amp modelers, try some Marshall-inspired presets. Marshall’s DSL amps are a relatively cheaper choice.
Even some amps that are traditionally for blues and hard rock.Īnything that resembles legendary JCM800 will do the trick. As far as most of their material goes, I’d go with more regular amps. But in my experience, E元4s just work better for copying most of Priest’s tone.Ī lot of Priest fans will immediately assume they’ll need a high-gain modern metal amp. Sure, Glenn Tipton has used some amps with 6L6 tubes in the power amp. Essentially, I prefer anything with E元4 valves in it.
In particular, some vintage or vintage-inspired Marshall stuff works. First and foremost, I’d recommend tube amps for this.
