Don't forget the cranked OD-1 for the gains. jake is not the type of player that can get away with just a cranked Marshall. All those harmonics and squeales need some gain.

Are these JCM-800 2203's ? or 2210's ?

This is Ozzys vocals before pitch correction, harmonizers ... lol :scared:

I've heard some live recordings of Ozzy from back before that stuff and he sounded just fine.

The recordings with Badlands sound like they may have been done without any help from an overdrive.

my friend bought a red 100 watt Marshall from black market music in LA that they just got from Jake E Lee, it was modded, by who, I don't know, and it sounded AMAZING. this was around 99.

Jake knows you don't need a lot of gain. Too much kills the tone.

Unless you're John Sykes :yes:

I've not been a fan of his tone in years but I admit back in the day I liked some it and for some stuff it had its place. Nothing agianst guys who like gained out tones but a lot of gain just kills dynamics.... it makes it hard to hear the tone and wood of the guitar.
 
Always thought a lot of gain "cures" a bad sounding guitar. Perfect for a lot of those 70s Gibson and 80s shapes/styles that emphasized the presentation over tone.

Ozzy sure has had a heck of a career being on stage with so many amazing guitarists.
