I can get a very similar tone using my VHT pitbull, straight into a 4X12 cab.

Also, I can give you a POD XT setting for a very close Dokken, Under Lock in Key tone. Check out my tone (see signature) and let me know if you are looking for something similar.

Re: what amp for Mr Scary?

Thanks bro. I'll get that to you. It is on the Plexi Variac setting with some kind of distortion pedal. I'll PM you later with more details. The POD XT may be perfect for you.

He may have been playing Soldanos around that time, but it sounds like a highgain modded Marshall. You could probably dial that tone in on a DSL,
or other highgain Marshall, Soldano, VHT etc.

On the Back For The Attack album, George used Marshall Plexi's. Here's a list of what he used

Peavey XXX. Its great for any 80s metal. Plus George Lynch help design it.

the purple marshall that aspen pittman (groove tubes) owns is what was used on mr scary. lynch also used a sustainiac on that track (along with just about every other song on that cd). it certainly did some stuff to the tone. sadly, george blew that marshall up, and after bein rebuilt, it didnt sound the same. or at least thats the word around the campfire.
try a soldano. itll get ya close.

Re: what amp for Mr Scary?

Kramer and Fernandez employed a sort of magnetic strip that rides alongside a pickup,
which increases the magnetic pull, making the strings sustain longer.
I don't know who owns the name sustainiac, but there's several different co's that used
them, mostly in the late 80'/early 90's.

Here's a bit of info.....

The humbucker style comes with a blank baseplate to fit a little HB next to it...
