Randall Satan. Mine is the only one I’ve ever seen in the wild.

I dig it. It’s interesting to hear AC/DC with that type of guitar tone. It’s like seeing a famous painting done in different colors.

I walked out of her show last year. I just couldn’t get into it. She has chops galore. But, the music reminded me of 3rd string Cacophony. I dunno? I love shred guitar, but her music does nothing for me.

Ibanez RG2027xl

Nope. That’s just amp hiss.

One of my favorite Lynch albums. I enjoyed how he reimagined those songs. Of course, he still sounded like himself. I saw the Lynch Mob on that tour, in a tiny club in Sacramento. Seriously crunchy.

It’s always interesting to hear Ed’s live tone. So little gain/distortion. Just beautiful sounding.

Get a 4x12 loaded with 25w greenbacks

Agreed. I also use the Variac switch. Running the Helios with no eq, at ~35w, through a greenback loaded 4x12, is as close to that early VH tone as I’ll ever get. It’s glorious.

Absolutely. Which is why I almost never use my Helios(100w) in ‘80s mode. I like how unpolished the Helios sounds in ‘70s mode. It’s AC/DC to early Van Halen Marshall goodness all day long. Especially through a Greenback loaded 4x12.

Yeah, her voice is great! George’s rhythm tone is so ballsy.

I don’t care how the demo is recorded, as long as I can’t hear the acoustic sound of the electric guitar being played. That’s just fucking annoying.

Ch.2 on the Randall Satan was a fantastic clean sound. Shockingly good.

That solo is really interesting, in retrospect. So much of it is licks from Paganini’s 24 Caprices. No one was doing that in ‘83. It’s still pretty breathtaking in its execution.

Meh. It’s a pointless comparison. Yngwie was Yngwie. However, I won’t lie; it was shocking as hell to see Yngwie play that shit live. I saw him in late ‘84(/early ‘85?) at the Kabuki Theater in S.F., before “Marching Out” was released, and “Rising Force” was still a Japan only import. Holy...

I’ve had the Snakeskin for 2 1/2 years. I love the Duncan 1/4 pounder at the neck. The Duncan RTM at the bridge is super hot. But, it has a nice eq to it. And the neck is just Charvel goodness. Obviously, I’m saying go with the snakeskin one.

I like mine. However, I use it out in front of the Bogner Helios(100w) when I’ve got it running in 70s mode, with not too much preamp gain. It feels like the “effect” of the Solodallas goes away the higher the preamp gain in the amp gets. jmho

I saw Dokken on that tour, they were opening for Aerosmith. I was sitting front row on George’s side of the stage. His sound/tone coming off the stage was LOUD, and sounded nothing like it does in those clips from Philly. I wonder if the mics on George’s cabs were out of phase, which would...

I’m currently running my m100 into x2 KSR 2x12(oversized), for my Ibanez 7-string. I’m not dialing it in to be super-tight/modern, but it’s ferocious sounding. I use either a Friedman Buxom boost, a Revv Tilt boost, or a Precision drive to tighten it up a little.(this is on Ch.1) The clean...
