awesome playing, and sweet guitar. I also have an ESP LTD VIPER 400, but mine is Olympic White, i had 2 color options and the other was black. I installed a PA2 gain booster switch in mine (Kerry King from Slayer setup), and it screams.
Great solo, i cant wait till i learn to do solo's, lol.
I don't know why people gave you a thumbs down and the guy who got it wrong thumbs up. It is DEFINITELY "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". Not the other way around.
what about the ENGL 530 for death/grind , black and thrash metal ? and for oldschool rock tones ? and for clean tones ? and how reacts the preamp to distortion stompboxes (i regularly use a boss HM-2 for its dirty and raw tone )
I think 530 is very good for extreme metal sounds as well. For oldschool rock I prefer the crunch channel, it's a Marshall-like, but still "ENGL-ish" sound.
I think there's no need to use external distortion for this preamp, because it's more dynamic and has more gain than any stompbox.
seems nice ! i want to use external distortion stomboxes to achieve a swedish death metal tone (that's hy i own a HM-2) i think i'll go for the 530 , with an ENGL poweramp
yeah !! far beyond ibanez ... only jackson , gibson and some fender guitars can rival high-end LTD or ESP guitars i think ... they make the best shit out there ... awesome tones , nice finish , cool neck , lightweight but nice sounding ... great sustain ... these guitars , for me , are almost perfect !
i finally bought my vioper 400 :) i took the red one for its nice , deep colour . the sound is .. awesome , the neck is fat , i do like it , it has awesome sustain ...
I just bought this same guitar today. The LTD Viper-400. It's the best guitar I've ever played. EMG 85/81 pickups on all of them. If you try it you will buy it, so bring your cash.
