Re: George Lynch The Hunter Tone
OMG....we all know where this will end.
Carlos - as with all Dokken, my ear says Duncan Distortion. Other than that, not overly distorted Marshall with I'd say some careful reverb (as opposed to delay) to get that isolated sound. As always, EQ time on the amp helps. Not hearing much bass, because who needs it in the mix?
That's not going to get you the album sound though.

Re: George Lynch The Hunter Tone
also, another key component to his tone is his maple body 1 pickup guitars with maple neck.
I know everybody says the tone is in the hands and in Lynch's aspect, it is about 75% of what you hear.
So now with the Seymour duncan Hunter pickup, it is apparently a slightly under-wound Duncan Distortion that is a copy of the pickup used on this album. I have an old TB6J and its too over-saturated to achieve this tone closely.

Guitar:
Maple-maple-maple ESP superstrat, ridonculously wide neck, Duncan Distortion bridge, ESP-made single coil or twinrail neck (near-impossible to source in USA, can be bought online from a few Japanese music retailers)
Effects: mostly studio stuff and mic placement, playing around with panning and stereo stuff on here...get a live track to see what's what

Re: George Lynch The Hunter Tone
So listening to the actual track now....
Here is a more practical prescription. Based on what I hear:
1. They multi-stacked a ton of guitar on the track for the arpeggios - clean and dirty!
- I say get a chorus with a wide delay setting to keep the icey/metallic sound
2. The little single not licks have to have delay
But as a base - any maple neck super Strat with a Distortion will do that.

Don't forget to seriously consider what the engineer added, Michael Wagoner got Lynch's amazing recorded sounds.

Re: George Lynch The Hunter Tone
Agree
A lot of what you like is probably those MCI 500 pres. -They were the best for rock guitar for many years -very musical for the primary guitar frequencies -I used to service and mod them around the country for the curmudgeon king of the MCI console Tom Wright RIP years ago. Guys like Tony Iommi to Prince came into Tom's studio or studios he set up up the pres for specifically for the MCI pres and a few other Tom tricks like Neve mods and Mic mods -Mix magazine did a nice little piece on him when he passed.
