Not bad at all. You should know by now to list your chain when posting...

Re: John Sykes Tone Test (Whitesnake)

Thx.. now for the funny part:

No tube amps were used... in fact, there wasn't a single physical guitar amp involved.

It was all done on my PC... using Positive Grid's BIAS.

I've written about BIAS before; I'm still impressed with the tonal quality and feel of this sim... and I've always hated modelers.

So, the signal chain is this:

Guitar (SD SH-5)
|
UA LA610MkII line input
|
DAW
|
[VST plugin] BIAS (Mesa-Boogie Mark II C+)
|
[VST plugin] Waves Doubler
|
[VST plugin] Kjerhaus Classic Reverb (just a touch)
