Re: Dokken/Lynch amp Tone

Cool! thanks for all the advise everyone. I ordered one regular Tung Sol for clean and a "high gain" tung sol for the OD. it was only an extra 2 bucks.... I can't wait to throw em in. I will post if there is any noticeable difference

My bogner red pedal in my fender nails it pretty good,VH tones also.

Re: Dokken/Lynch amp Tone

So I got home today to find 2 new Tung Sol 12AX7's waiting for me at the door. Needless to say I installed them in my amp as fast as I could. They sound great. They added the perfect dose of bite, hair, and clarity to my amp and I am very happy. Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this topic and helping me find the tone I was looking for. With the blackstar gain a little past half way and the TS in front as a clean boost I get that real nice 80s gritty overdrive. Its very Invasion of your privacy and under lock and key esk. Just what I was going for. Good call everyone. Thanks again!

Read an GL article in magazine at the grocery store the other day while waiting on grocery shopping. To paraphrase:

" ...back with Dokken it was just something like an Seymour Duncan Invader pickup, into an amp with plenty of gain and a distortion box in front of that.."

Don't necessarly agree 100% with all of his non music points of view, but still love him.

Somewhat related... I always thought this was a killer example of just George Lunch doing his thing and sounding awesome in the process:

He told me he used the old MXR pedal

George Lunch sounds yummy! I'd almost bet my money Wicked Sensation is all about Soldano tone.

Awesome!

Approximately what did you dial in on the TS, and which TS version was it? Also, which part would you say was supplying the majority of the overdrive or defining the sound - mostly the JB with the extra kick from the TS, or mostly the blackstar's own gain knob??? And, if you've got another decent guitar with a good humbucker that isn't a JB, how similar/different do the same settings sound with that??

I took this picture of George Lynch's pedal board when he played BB Kings's in New York last year in May. It is a lot different than any thing I have seen online of have heard him talk about in interviews.

That's NOT so much a pedalboard as a LACK THEREOF - it's an EQ + a bunch of one-off single song effects from where I'm standing Guess the "dude uses a guitar, a pickup, and real tube gain from the amp for his sound" opinion wins.
