Guitar Tone And Its Many Variations

[LLL]

Tone Tone Tone! It's all about tone. Decided to make a list of some of my work.

It's one of my hobbies in my free time.

I use a variety of ways, but first thing I do is study, study, study. Internet to the rescue.
What gear did they use? Then try to emulate things with physical gear and/or DAW plugins.

As always, studio "magic" is a huge piece of the puzzle.

Here's some of my work; not all are "100 %", and some have patchwork backing tracks (some have real):



Iron Maiden:


DIO Sabbath:


VH1:


VH1:


Boston:


1984 VH:


Sykes Whitesnake:


Badlands:


Early Rush:


Moving Pictures Rush:


Early Sabbath:


Mindcrime Queensryche:


RATT:


Early Journey:


TNT:


Early Def Leppard:


Rhoads Ozzy:

Re: Guitar Tone And Its Many Variations

Those are all really great. Nice work.

The first VH is even more spot on Warren Demartini than EVH IMO.

The other 2 VH are EVH all the way


So -who's tone is requires the most work to dial?

Thanks - the most difficult (figuring out-wise) were:

EVH 1st album (lots of studio magic esp. verb going on)
Alex Lifeson Moving Pictures (2 amps - Marshall Club & Country + HIWATT DR103; Roland CE-1)
Sykes Whitesnake (Mesa Boogies in stereo w/ Lexicon PCM42, quad [yes, quad] tracked)

I have yet to really nail Ritchie Blackmore's studio tone(s). That's a tough mofo, believe it or not.

Sounds pretty good on some of those (the NIB one sound bang on to me)!
