My friend asked me to play guitar on this 'Wherever I May Roam Cover', and since I never get an opportunity to play my Explorer on anything, I jumped at it. All of the guitars are a Mark IV. Straight in for the rhythm tracks and boosted with an 808 for the solo.

The multiple wahs were of course mandatory.

 
Awesome cover.

The playing was super accurate and, to maybe be a little bit sacrilegious here, I think the high gain tones here might actually be better than the ones in the original recording.

edit: the dual wah gag was great, lol

I almost edited in a third foot and wah, but I figured that would be too much :)

Thanks for the kind words! The rhythm guitars were just my 2 dot Japanese EXP-200 into a Mark IVb into a Suhr Reactive Load with IR's of a 4x12 with V30's.

It absolutely would not have been too much. :D

Killer rig. I have a IVb also and love it. Those EXP’s are really special though.

Been wanting to try a MK IV but they've gotten crazy expensive used.

I think the Mark IV is my favorite amp of all time. Nicely done!

It's quickly becoming mine as well. I had one years ago and sold it, but I got this one in trade about a year ago and it's been getting a lot of use. Set the right way, it'll do some killer rock tones through Greenbacks.

The EXP was a pandemic purchase. I bought it in the parking lot of a mall and when I got it the frets were totally shot. It got a full 6105 re-fret and now it's a ripper. Sounds great too.
