Any Stryper fans here? Loved there catching tunes and twin guitar harmony lines, the tone was pretty thick and compressed.
Does anybody know there live setup and what kind amps they used on tour and studio?

Some great 80's riffage, but not very inspiring tone. Michael Sweet on drums is what always stood out in that band.
"The Way" was a great song with some great playing.

Re: Stryper
Not for sure, but I always heard that Michael Sweet started out using Marshalls (probably JCM800, maybe modded) boosted with a parametric eq, with a line out to a Mesa/Boogie D180. They might have gone all-Mesa later.Yngve wrote:Does anybody know there live setup and what kind amps they used on tour and studio?
BTW - Robert Sweet was/is the drummer.
They were great live... but they really went overboard with the syrupy-pop-glam thing after "To Hell With the Devil".Back then that gained-out-parametric-eq'd Marshall tone seemed pretty cool. I still have a rack mount parametric from the '80s... gathering dust in the attic.
