10 seconds into listening to that, I knew who he was. I just never realized the name. :smack:

Between these two, I'd say Asia also.
Now I have read that Steve Howe used a EXH Big Muff and Trevor Rabin used a Boss DS1 Distortion....though I'm not sure if these pedals where used on these exact songs.

Steve Howe used a Big Muff for a lot of his solos on the ASIA album, but I think what we are hearing on the intro to Heat of the Moment is the preamp of his ES-Artist slamming the input of the amp. I do have an old Guitar Player around here from 1982, where he goes into crazy detail about how he recorded that album. I think a small amp was used, and he did multiple tracks on those power chords.

I read an article once about recording Heat Of The Moment. As I remember they layered about twenty tracks of guitar - each through a different cranked amp.

Todd Rundgren did stuff like that too. IIRC, especially on the "RA" tour. (I got to see that.) And, of course, Tom Sholtz was the king of over-processing. But on the other hand . . . sometimes it worked. Sometimes, it's fun.
I love Todd Rungren. Hate his recording engineering.

Owner of a lonely heart .....boths songs rock though.
I remember reading something like that, and there were a few different tunings involved. They had a ton of money to spend, and they were a high-priority band that were going to get a huge push. While I like ASIA a lot, and own everything they've ever released (that's a lot of albums), they were a band created by the record company to sell records. They weren't started organically. By the way, the geek I am, owns every Yes release, too, which is dozens of albums. Many people in the current Yes are also in the current ASIA, so there is that, too.

Cool, thanks Mincer.
I like hearing how different artists generated their sounds. And I have always loved that there are so many ways to make your guitar sound unique.

"It Can Happen" is one of those songs that sounded awesome through my system. I actually cranked it up when that came on. The album has some great stuff but it was that one song that we will no longer mention that chased me away.
