i'm a musician from No. Hollywood, CA. ~ i started playing piano at age 5 and picked up the guitar at 10. i use ESP, Charvel and custom designed guitars. Soldano and Marshall amplifiers. CGX expander unit, JBL speakers, Seymour Duncan pick-ups, Floyd Rose locking nut. Roland and Moog synthesyzers. Dean Markley and GHS Boomer strings. ~ i get asked alot how i get such a killer tone...well here it is... it's really not that complex, each processor or pedal has one specific function~at the center of my sound i run 4 Marshall JCM900 (100watt Hi gain/dual reverb) heads which are tricked out by using oversized transformers and smaller sized tubes which has all the tone and signal routing for my effects which are routed without losing signal quality by the CGX Expander, it allows me to run multiple effects, channel switching and midi patch changes all at once which gives me 8 seperate effects loops~i run my guitar via cable to the CGX unit from here my chorus, octave and ADA flanger are run into loops for effect on/off control which are in front of the Marshall amps and through the switch box to a filter and juice extracter and then into a rack of 4 Soldano SLO-100 watt heads~the effects send is sent to the input of my Alesis Comp/Gate then to a Music Man HD-130 (which has smaller tubes and larger transformer) which returns to a Lexicon delay~the output of the delay is then routed back to the effects return of the Marshall rack~now here is another one of my tricks~i wrap my pick-ups(i don't count how many times, i just eyeball them)and dip them in parafin wax~this keeps the coil from vibrating, which causes feedback~ my webpage (formerly LightSpeed Productions) is now Vonstolle Custom Designs is at http://www.geocities.com/vonstolle/vonstolle.html
