    I've always been in awe of players like Cantrell who can sound dark and heavy; harmonically and melodically complex and above all, original, all in one song. His use of first position (open string) chords is also fantastic. Of course, the bass lines in these songs are absolutely essential, though I'm sure most of you reading this already knew that.

    • @SpectorEuro4
      @SpectorEuro4 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Line 6 amps are cloudy sounding, there is no way you can dial in the punch that most of us look for. Like the other guy said get yourself a Marshall and preferably a good overdrive pedal to get the extra distortion. I personally have a Marshall but switched over to a more expensive Peavey tube amp with Digitech Metal Master distortion pedal (absolute gold - can dial in any harder rock/metal band's tone)
