Re: What amp set up is STYX using?
I would agree. Tommy is a hugely underrated guitar player. I've seen very few players who are as versitile. They guy rips on acoustic, electric, slide, mando, you name it.
JY is no slouch either. He can play some tear your head off stuff.

Definitely can't forget about JY. He played the same Strat all night at the show we say. HSS, Floyd, red with white pickguard, black pickups and knobs. Killer looking axe and he played the bejesus out of it.
Those ones in the rack, absolutely. That's the "pit" so to speak. The ones I'm talking about are the head boxes stacked 2 high on top of the 2 to 3 fake cab high wall along the back of the stage.shaka said:

Re: What amp set up is STYX using?
Well, I'm trying the attachments thing. Hopefully it works. This is a more recent pic of Styx's backline. The stuff on the right is Tommy's and the stuff in the back is JY's. I also think that the Marshalls on the back right are JY's as well.

Shaka, pic didn't attach.
I'm convinced he had a few Hamers with him. We were too far back for me to tell and he moved around too damn much for the camera to get a good fix on him but one looked damn close to a Hamer, like a Newport.WhoFan said:

Re: What amp set up is STYX using?
Hmm, I'm not sure why the pic didn't work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Anyway, I put it on the web. Go to this link:

Tommy has long been a Hamer guy. However, the last several times I've seen him play he was only using Fender and Gibson. He let it slip a while back that he was doing a sig guitar with Gibson but I've heard nothing since then. Maybe the project got scrapped. I do believe that Tommy had one of the first prototypes for the Duotone when he was in Damn Yankees. He also had a killer black Hamer Standard for the first Styx reunion tour in 1996. He also had a cool red Hamer doubleneck for that same tour. You can see both in their concert vid Return to Paradise. As far as concert vics go RTP is really good. I highly recommend it.
Oh, The Socially Inept is a recording project thing I'm doing with my cousin. We have a few really rough demos up there if you'd like to check them out. I can't stress the "rough" part enough. lol

Re: What amp set up is STYX using?
i was wondering the same thing!!! i see lots of bands and artists using TSL's these days... But you hear they suck from many players.... yet a lot of pros are using them... maybe they are modded... i saw Canadian band April Wine a few months ago in a small Toronto club and they both had TSL... Brain they guitarist kept having guitar trouble and later he told me on-line that it was the cord vibrating out the back of the cab..... Even my old JCM 800 with new jacks i don't trust the hold they have on the cable...

Re: What amp set up is STYX using?
Well guy what are you doing on this page about James Young of Styx. If I had to guess your 17 years old and a die hard Metallica, Jane's Addition, and that other dude that got kicked out of Metallica and started his own group but I can't think of it. Am I getting close? You like to burn one every chance you get and that's why you walk around with your mouth open but nothing comes out. Getting warmer? Live with Mom? She works but you don't. You don't go to school or have plans to. I think I've got you. So you don't like Styx, well I'm sure they wouldn't like you either.

The zombie threads are a pass time of Dean Sweden but the rest of these seem to be brand new members doing this. :dunno: Unless its him creating new accounts to do his trolling.
