I personally liked thier tones on 2nd heat the most..it seems,like,for that matter(a lot of the shredder/guitar gods) which I love thier stuff to death,tend to have this nasally,mid/funny,un-organic guitar tones...but 2nd heat was so raw/urgent/, full of tone to me......I think there was a thread way back on "why do so many shredders have generic guitar tones?"........well,I can think of quite a few that are slamming w/ great tone these days too....
