A friend of mine sent me this video and I’m like “oh shit, I know that guy!” I used to watch your videos all the time back on your old channel a decade ago, and the shootout you did against your brother’s amp is what made me ultimately decide on the AD30 all the way back in 2009. Anyway, killer video and I’m glad to see you’re still making videos!

Back in the mid 90s when I first started playing, I used a combo of the RAT and an Ibanez Thrash metal pedal and to this day my friend and I still regard that as basically the best distortion for metal we ever heard haha, even after 30 years of getting good gear. Rat pedals can really add a new layer on top of other distortions.

That sunless green pedal is where I first found you, as well. Theyve rebranded that pedal as Sunless Cold Lands. I'm doing everything DI, and am using a Two Notes M Cab. I havent gotten a real amp, yet. I'm still getting good tone, but the Dopesmoker tone is tricky for my set up. I might try the Dunwich, though dunwich doesnt exist anymore. Another company is still making those pedals, I believe. It took me months, and timing, just to buy my Sunnless lol

Great video! I’m basically a jazz/blues guitarist who loves metal too. My set up is a strat into a Princeton reverb. On a total whim I decided to buy a Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold and a Rat pedal to see if I could get a doom sound out of my tiny amp.. and by god I did! The amp is so small that it sounds like it’s about to blow up which I think kind of works for this sound. It’s not THE sleep sound but it’s crazy how close I got just with the right pedals.

I ordered a Zoom G1x Four recently - been looking to get a new cheap multi effects for ages. Even the cheaper stuff will get you some good results, and the OR120 Sim on the Zoom is actually pretty good. I might get a real Rat to throw in front of it though. The Nux modelling is also really good - I have the Mighty Plug which is unfortunately somewhat Doomless, however it was recently updated with their higher end models and does have an *amazing* AC30 model - Green Lung actually use AC30s! The AD30 is basically Orange's take on the AC30, so with a bit of tweaking you might get surprisingly close. And of course the bigger Nux modellers have more suitable models.

I watched this yesterday because I recently got an AD30. Which is a sick amp. Anyway today I was recommended to re-watch your left hand video. I remember watching it a few months ago. Point being: Not once while watching your AD30 video yesterday did I even notice your hand. Anyway just figured you might find that interesting.

I have the AD30 head with the 2x12 as well. Also the Micro Terror. I have a variety of fuzzes but I do not have the Rat fuzz. I also use the M-audio interface with protools which I use with Amplitube and the orange amp pack. Emulation used to be blasphemy but now they sound really good so I use them quite a bit.

Cool. I have a Schecter omen extreme through a Behringer superfuzz into the clean channel of a Blackstar combo amp. (Mid gain, fill volume, full mids 3/4 bass, 1/2 treble) It doesn't match that Classic Sleep sound but I like the noise it makes. And I reckon finding your own sound is important.

I've had quite a few orange amps, including a 74 or120. The or120 was the best but I think the ad series captures the 1st & 2nd position on the fac pretty closely but with more gain on tap. They're more Vox than Marshall and more Princeton than Deluxe imo. I have the ad140htc and ad200b. Couldn't be happier with them.

Using Music Man Erie ball Stingray n I'm running a Wampler RATSBANE direct and it sounds fuckin great but doesn't give you that sludgey Dragonaut bass tone. The Rat is great but doesn't have the versatility of the Ratsbane. I know that you went digital which s fine but to really nail the bass it looks like an early 70's Green Matamp is the answer. Also check out DEEP TRIP/ Fuzz second to none.
