Re: Chris Oliva rig
Sorry that I won't be of much help, just wanted to say that when I saw him live back in the early 90's (Gutter Ballet tour), he was running through one of the biggest racks I've ever seen. It looked like NASA's mission control room.
The sound he had that night (played a ton of songs off of "Gutter Ballet" and "Hall of the Mountain King") was one of the best heavy guitar sounds I've ever heard. Big, thick, punchy, nice sustain, but very articulate at the same time. It sounded very much like the albums.
Sorry I couldn't really help you, but I think his rig was VERY involved.

Thank you so much, we had a thread here a while ago about the most underated shreder or something like that, I brought up Chris and nobody said a thing. His solos on the HoMK, Summer's Rain, Gutter Ballet, When the Crowds are Gone, 24 Hours Ago, Sometimes She Flyes are simply masterpieces. I heard that Dave Mustain and Lars are big fans of Savatage maybe the could put a tribute album together with other guys. Anyways, thanks for the website it is great to know that he had same amp that he used all those years and the fact that he was an SD man too. Thanks.
