Hey Ralph!
Is this the same head (1987 Whitesnake-Sykes) that Gillis used on "Speak of the Devil" ??

No, Gillis used 2 MKIIb's for the speak of the devil. There is a bit of a difference in the preamp section between amps.

Trivia Question: What guitar did John use for the solo in "Straight For The Heart"? (Hint: it was not his main Les Paul Custom)

I have no idea but Im guessing Charvel!! FWIW, There are a lot of dive bombs on that album so Im pretty sure there was more then one solo on that album that wasn't recorded with the Gibby!!

Hi Ralph. The Charvel was used on the album, but not on Straight For the Heart.

Huge, massive tone, but down to sykes, due to the collosal wibbly vibrato and (excessive) use of the woowoo. ( I love the woowoo).
Its total rock the way it should be, i was going to say reckless abandon, but the guitars arent high enough in the mix.

Thanks Ralph. Its all good...I like albums and tunes for the music. The gtr tones used don't matter that much whether I like a player or song. One of my fave players is Greg Howe...he has some awful tones thoughGainfreak":13db3f6f said:Greazygeo":13db3f6f said:
At least you are consistent George and I really respect that.
George has gone on record many times with his dislike for Boogie amps and that tone is pure Boogie, so I can totally see you hating that tone.
~R~
One of the things with this 87 album is way too much FX and overall mush to the guitar tone. That was the trend at the time.
Hell,
I like Randy's tone

I just got one of the Edwards Sykes Les Paul Custom models. I really dig the chrome hardware and chrome pickup rings Sykes did... Anyway... I ripped out all the electronics (the Duncan SH-6 Distortions that came stock sounded like shit to me) and put in top line stuff including CTS pots (had to drill out the holes a bit - the japanese pots have smaller shafts) and Suhr Adrich pickups. The only other things I replaced were the tuners (I got the Planet Waves locking tuners - the original Gotohs were excellent actually, I just like locking tuners for fast string changes) and the cheesy chrome plastic pickup selector ring (got a chromed metal one that looks much better).
Wow - this thing sounds GREAT now and the fit and finish on these Edwards are awesome. Also - I've always mentioned before that I can't play Les Pauls (and I had a really sweet Gibson Historic R8 that I just couldn't get along with) and this one plays GREAT to me. I think I've finally found a keeper Les Paul. I've always loved the way they sound, but now I've got one I can actually play... Clips and pics in another thread soon...

I'll tell ya man - I REALLY loved my MKIV. I HATED to have to sell it to do the Egnater Seminar, but I needed to learn to do my Jose project and I had heard clips that led me to believe I would like the Seminar amp enough to replace the lead channel of the MKIV (didn't use the others much, although they are nice as well). I gotta say that it has worked out great!
The Seminar amp's lead channel has all the gain I need (and more) and the tone i just slightly edgier than the MKIV, which I really enjoy. The cleans in the amp are great as well. I'm working on something new that I used the Seminar amp clean input with the piezo pickup on my Suhr and it sounds awesome... As much as I love the MKIV, I'm really not regretting my decision given how well the Seminar amp has worked out for me. It is really that good and such a simple design even I can deal with anything that comes up with it...

I think I'll skip Bad Boys and just re-record the heavy rhythm guitar parts on this new tune I'm working on.
Yeah, I knew you had one too, Olaf! They sure are killer guitars. LIke I said, I never get along with Les Pauls, but this one I can play just like all my other guitars... I can't wait to get home and crank up the Seminar amp!
