thanx man, dream theater is definitaly an influence. for "alone" i used a prs custom 24 tuned in what i call "train of thought tuning" which is standard tuning in c or 2 whole steps down. (john petrucci used this tuning alot on the TOT album, i think a total of 3 of the 7 songs were in c). all other songs were recorded with a tom anderson drop top for leads and riffs and a les paul every now and then for chunky power chords. the rythm guitar signal came out of the guitar into a little labs splitter->one into the herbert into the 4 12 v 30 cab the other into a splawn quickrod into a greenback loaded cab. there were no boosters at all on 99% of the tones. we used those (all keeley modded) pedals every now and then just to filter the signal before the splitter, we just used em for getting an almost lo fi effect. we would jack the treble on em and get em all crappy sounding, it was really alot of fun to get awful tone!, but thats only on like 2 tiny sections of the album used just as atmosphere. travis always uses them as boosters for boogies and marshalls but was absolutely blown away with the herbert, we wanted to just show off the amp ya know. the pedals just happen to be lying around when we were taking pics. all lead tones were just the herbert as well as most of the main riffs. im glad you enjoyed it!
