mandatory "standby" for endorsement purposes! :D

I also find his rythm tones on everything after the first two lynchmob albums to be softer sounding.. not enough cut. The stuff he does now needs more cut.

I saw a recent interview with George where he was working on a solid state amp with Randall. He mentioned like the ones he used on tooth and nail and called them the good ones. If I can find the interview I will link it here. For what is worth.....I love his tone on that album!

The original RG80es/RG100es heads are the good ones he's referring to. I have a RG80es I'll never sell from that time period. Those were the best offerings Randall ever hads in a SS amp design, the magic is in the transistors/FETS used at the time.
 
Just cause a great player doesn't need tubes, doesn't mean I won't. I mean look at Pete Thorn, I am sure he could make a gorilla tube cruncher amp sound good.
 
I've been talking to his daughter Mariah about getting to see that room full of gear. ;)

George helped Randall in the design of the RG80es/100's. Not sure to what extent, but he was part of it. Lynch has helped with a few amp designs:

* Randall RG80
* Uberschall (I'm almost sure about this)
* Peavey XXX & Penta amp (supposed to be the Brahma)
 
I don't know man to me george's only good recorded tone is on the wicked sensation (for the tones I dig anyway....to be more specific "for a million years" is about as good as 80's/hair metal/etc tone gets) so I won't be rushing out and copying him in a hurry :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

George goes through gear so often it is sort of a fools game (just imo) buying a piece of gear because of a photo of his stuff it's just a singular point in time and most likely he will have moved on to the next thing anyway. :lol: :LOL:

I love George's playing and he was a huge influence on me but when you're a hard core flipper/endorser it dilutes the value of his endorsement somewhat.

In the wake of everything he has played through/used was some very cool stuff though imo he just doesn't stick around for long for the most part although I'm sure there are exceptions. :lol: :LOL:
 
Maybe, or it could be the Kemper on his night stand in his bedroom. Maybe even a Pink Taco in his bathroom..lol. It's George...It doesn't matter :lol: :LOL: Give it a few months and you'll see a D-Moll and BE-100 in his studio. He already has a Dirty Shirley and a Naked. Plus the Slime Herbert :lol: :LOL:

Sounds like this could be an AxeFX!

He had a Marsha before any of the other Friedman amps.

He still sounds the best to me through a boosted plexi (or a Rockman :D )

I guess I'm just stuck in the past (which I'm ok with). I need more of these tones.

I got george the axe 2 a while ago and Mark Day went to his studio and programed it for him. George loves the Axe FX for the studio.


Mark you suck :cry:


seriously joking aside . lucky man very very cool

So Tell us was he difficult to work with lol??

What Axe models does he like best??

George is a sweetheart of a guy. He's funny, soft spoken and great to hang with. I set him up with a bunch of Friedman tones and I think some Fenderish things. He was playing so well. It was awesome to sit there with him for a day. Great guy.
