Nick Oliveri's Amplifiers
Used for bass on Songs for the Deaf, as stated by producer Eric Valentine in this September 14, 2019 "Making Records with Eric Valentine" video at 29:02.
And then, there's this track. And so this amp is a Peavey Decade and it's an amp about this big. It's a tiny little Peavey solid state practice amp. (...) And it has a really cool little saturation knob in there, or distortion knob, and so it would get cool distortion and you could have it at really low volume and I ended up putting a Coles 4038 right up on it and a Cole 4038 normally would not be able to handle low end at all. Like, if you put it in front of a bass amp with any reasonable amount of volume, it would just totally probably rip the ribbon in half. But this thing, you would set it super super quiet, just whisper quiet with this Coles 4038 up on it and it got the most incredible low end. [plays audio track] And it ended up being the majority of the bass sound for the record. It's an amazing sound. [laughs] Tiny little amp, this big. But ultimately, it's a blend of all these.
