What amp for this kinda tone?

[Axl H]

My JCM2000 DSL is a GREAT amp, I love it.. But it seems a bit dark to me, I have to get this kind of bright tone for a long time but I just cant.

And when I am buying my Les Paul, I can afford JCM800 2203 as well, so I could run stereo.

You can hear the tone I like alot at about 2:00 and forwards in this clip

I would say this might not be a JCM800, but an early JMP alas Randy Rhoads, and it probably pushed with either MXR dist+ or DS-1. But it is an unforgiving game to guess studio recorded gear. Love the song and the tone, but never wondered what it is, just shooting from the hip here.

I must admit that I like his tone alot more here than on the final version

I think Vivian only used 2203s with dio and a Boss DS-1 or SD-1..?

Well, 2203s can sound pretty bright, so that's a good start. The stock marshall G12T75 speakers are a great choice if brightness is your thing...

I dunno if its my speakers? I have 100watt celestions in my cab.. I think they are called G12H100?

Vivian always had a real bright tone to me. Just throw a JB in your Les Paul, crank the presence on a JCM 800, and throw distortion pedal in front of it. You'll be close.

Just because its you dude, I would agree.

Dont forget Viv... His first lead was no good, but the one that started with the double stop, the second one pretty much owned all the previous solos.

But yeahs I am gonna get a JCM800 and crank it.

Btw how you liking your JVM so far Jollene?
