The Tone Chase

[Bogner]

I've resumed chasing toanz. Catching some schweet, schweet stuff with my new guitar.

Sweet!

[LLL]

Sweet!

One toan I can't seem to catch is the ever elusive Suck Toan. Made a thread about it even

Once you move beyond a certain level of tOaN you can never acquire the Suck ToAn.

Oh so that's how it works! Although, I still could attempt with a Gorilla, Carvin or CRATE amp.

It's possible but doubtful. Your level of suck has surpassed the level necessary to achieve that kind of ToAnZ.

Now I'm confused...

How are you confused? Her his the suck scale. -10 is major suck It increments from - 10, -9, -8, etc to zero (neutral) to good of +1, +2, et to =10. You have surpassed the suck than parameters (negative side) and have entered the positive toanz side (+ numbers). There is no going back regardless of gear or effort. Your ears simply won't allow it and knob tweaking capabilities will find the good toanz even on the bad gear.

Capiche?

I’ve ended up with the following:
-Strat with Dimarzio Injectors (familiar shape with a Strat on steroids sound)
-Fender amp (nice neutral sound that works with a compressor for clean, tube screamer for mid breakup and heavier distortion for heavier rock sounds)
-Stompbox compressor (Wampler Ego)
-Full Drive 2 (boosts the amp, boosts the next pedal)
-Wampler Pinnacle (heavier Marshall style distortion)
-Delay (I use the Catalinbread Belle Epoch, preamp in 100% of the time to get the Fender front end into a good zone for clean)
-Various modulation based on what I might need

Is it my dream tone? Not quite. Is it a great and versatile tone that inspires me? Absolutely.

Ah increments -

So like:

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5
suck it toanz --- positive toanz

Si, capisco.
