Speaking of the Mimiq, this setup worked well for me.

This one claims to get the Sykes ‘87 tone. However, I have one, and to my ears, it doesn’t. It’s a really nice sounding pedal though.

UFO-“Strangers In The Night” “Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live” Rush-“All The World’s A Stage” Rush-“Exit Stage Left” MSG-“One Night At Budokan” Aerosmith-“Live Bootleg” Blue Oyster Cult-“Some Enchanted Evening” Blue Oyster Cult-“On Your Feet Or On Your Knees” Blue Oyster...

The first album I bought that was such a disappointment, that I considered throwing it away. What a letdown after the awesomeness of “Blackout”.

Mr.Vai on Devin’s tune, from the “Empath” album.

AC/DC live in Paris 1979, has to be in the running.

THE amp I used for all our party gigs back in the late 80s.(ran it through an ancient Carvin 4x12) It never failed.

I’m still using my TC Electronic SCF pedal from ‘96. Nice n subtle.

I absolutely do not hate “Never Mind The Bollocks”. A classic album. Chuck Berry on meth.

Yeah, I think some of them are. George Lynch’s tone on “Back For The Attack”. Doug Aldrich’s tone on Lion’s “Dangerous Attraction”. Jake E Lee’s tone on the first Badlands album. Akira Takasaki’s tone on “Live Loud Alive” and “Thunder In The East”. Just to name a few.

Satch’s tone is nice. It’s chunkier than the tone he’s most associated with.

At ~4:50 feedback and whammy abuse followed by double tracked(triple?) tapping madness. At 5:39 Mr.Vai launches into his finest 2:30.

Nice! Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend’s ‘68 Camaro!! And…, the PT100 is a f_cking badass amp!!(I’m a biased PT100 owner.)

I still have my ‘96(made in Israel) DE .50 So much fun to shoot.

I just replaced the Duncan ‘78 with the Duncan Alternative 8. Yowza. That’s the ticket. Despite being fairly “hot”, the Alternative 8 has really nice string-to-string definition. I’d call it slightly mid-scooped, but not so much where it sounds like there’s a hole in your eq.

Isn’t that his signature Les Paul?

The LTD Desert Eagle I got, two months ago, is an excellent guitar. It arrived new in the box, and ready to play. Maybe I lucked out? I dunno. I have 3 of the LTD Lynch models, and all 3 are outstanding guitars.(Burnt Tiger, Kami 4, and the Desert Eagle) I found the Duncan ‘78 to be a hair too...

“Rising Force” will always be on my list of inspiring “guitar-centric” albums. So many good memories about that album. We drove down to S.F. to see him, on his first solo tour, at the Kabuki Theater. It was f_cking epic.

That would be the shows!!

We saw Dio, on those first two tours, at Cal Expo, in Sacramento. Great shows; Dio’s vocals, Vivian’s guitar playing, a couple of the Black Sabbath tunes. Whitesnake was the opening band for one of the shows. Sykes was a monster.
