Amplifiers used by Cronos on Welcome to Hell
Acoustic control corporation 220
Cronos used his reliable Acoustic 220 bass amplifier, paired with a couple of 4x12 cabinets, as mentioned in the Ultimate Guitar interview titled "Venom: The Only Black Metal Band!" This setup likely contributed to the iconic sound of Venom's "Welcome to Hell" and "Black Metal" albums. While he probably used Marshalls for live performances in the 80s, the Acoustic 220 was crucial for studio recordings, potentially enhanced with distortion pedals.
