"...the song presets alone are a ton of fun and would probably be enough for many players without any ability to program. For the pro player, the Spider IV 75 is a darn good little unit with a zillion sounds at a stupid low price. Sixty-four user slots to write your own sounds into should be more than enough for anyone. Did I mention you can also use FBV Mk II pedals to download future firmware upgrades for your Spider IV? To an old analog guy, all this seems like a miracle."

Emerging Artist: The Stills

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000

The Stills is a band that pays attention. Oceans Will Rise, the group’s critically acclaimed third album, shows perceptive ears for magnetic melodies and observational songwriting, and a knack for superb guitar and bass tones.

Formed in 2000, in Montreal, Quebec, The Stills is a band of life-long friends. They’ve played together in a variety of bands but it wasn’t until a fateful trip to New York City, and a fateful few hours in front of a four-track recorder, that they happened upon the distinctive sound that would launch them into the limelight.

Being that this is a metal amp roundup, however, I put my metal face on by calling up the Treadplate model, which is based on a Boogie Dual Rectifier. This is a great tribute to that great amp, and packs ungodly amounts of distortion, plus huge lows and biting highs. To my ears, this was one of the HD’s best models for disemboweling chugs.
