His sound and his style are super cool...I actually heard Esper first..before I heard anything off Thunder in the East. But once I heard that chunky crunchy riff on Crazy Nights..I was into him. Kinda like if you merged the best guys at the time into SchenkGilbersteen..

Ellis is one of my current favorites..love that aggressive attack and those wailing bends and vibrato. I used to have..and have again..the OG Parallel Axis in my Solar..ended up with the Blues Saraceno bridge in the neck and love it.

Funny...I always looked at whatever I played through..be it a Peavey Classic...an 80's rack.....A killer tube head like my Engl Fireball 100..or now the AX8 or FM9 as just a TOOL...to get not THAT sound or HIS sound...but just MY sound. I can make all of those sound like me or what I like to...

Sounds nice n chuicy!

I just saw one of those hanging in the local Pawn Shop. Not Distressed but looks cool either way.

That is fantastic!..Always heard if him and never heard him. What a player, and that tone is so punchy. Today's Hellecaster.

Doesn't matter what Mike plays..it sounds good..sounds like him. That said..it seems like the Deans have a bit more bite to them.

Regardless of analog or digital....that is a great f-in tone..and the pickups sounds very reactive to the pick.

After the first time I tried them I went with them almost all my guitars. There is just a magic to them I don't find in the usual suspects. (Seymours and Dimarzios) The sensitivity to picking and the nuances with the volume knob you can get are the reason I love them. I have the Alnico Nailbomb...

They just look like they are going through the motions...totally disconnected from putting energy into what they are doing.

Amps can be like girlfriends or wives...sometimes it's just time to move on.

I had a 2x12 Ampeg VH140C back in the day and it had the G12K85s..I read that they were same as the G12K100s...Celestion figured out they could handle 100 watts and relabled them.

Pretty cool! We use Haas machines where work at on plastics.

Preamp..for my taste is the NOS Raytheon long black plates...2nd Tung Sols...3rd EH...JJs just seem too fuzzy...although had some mid gain AX7 JJs years ago that were cool. Always LPS in the PI slot. Power amp tubes I've used Tung Sol..JJ....EH...Groove Tubes..Some Ruby EL34...Most of them have...

I remember hearing that first song...Hot on your heels...then Alcatraz..then the amazing and timeless Rising Force...man he was flame throwing compared to anyone else...and the classical tilt was fresh too...but to me he didn't really grow as a player since then...not saying that's bad, but It...

Cool tune!..love the adventure the tonality!

Either Legends or Texas Heats probably.

That's a great sound...so much character to it..and Doug's a master blaster anyway.
