Title: Buzz's Freak Puke Tour Amp
Post by: Rusty Shackleford on July 19, 2012, 12:50:15 AM
Does anyone know anything about the amp Buzz has been playing on the Canadian Tour? 

Dale mentioned the new custom gear, but gave no details. 

The cab on Buzz's side appears to have 1x15 + 1x12, made by Emperor.

What's in Trevor's cab?  6x10?  1x18?  2x15?  2x12 + 1x15?  What amp?       

Mr. Raymond, can you tell us anything?

It's possible.  Who knows?  The switch to Electrical guitars had something to do with him/them.

I think High on fire also and some other bands like mastadon maybe used em..

I gotta do some more digging. They sound pretty good. Id rather they used this setup than the typical inevitable marshal staxx.

As far as I know the preamp (sunn) and power amp (carver) are the same as he usually uses.


Not on this go around. 

You can see the amp, on the Emperor Facebook page and in all the recordings of The Canadian Tour.
