Some nice looking work in those Larry amps. Never heard of them before. Anybody got a link to clips?

I can get it with my kid's Line 6 Spyder II..

I've been dicking around with the Bomber Uber on my Pod XTL. I think I'm getting pretty close, but the Soldano setting I use is pretty good for his tone too. I'm trying to get more like the sound he had on the last Demons And Wizards record. Love that guitar sound.

Listen to anything off the "Trinity" by Division. We used Alive in Athens and SWTWC as our reference for the tones. (http://www.division-usa.com/media.php)

Stock 3 channel triple rec. 6L6 tubes, bold setting, silicon diode rectifier. From what I remember (It was recrded in 2002) the gain was at 1 o'clock-ish, treble was at 1 o'clock, mids around 9 o'clock, bass lower than the mids (maybe 8:30), presence I don't remember. Patch cord from the effects send to return mix set to full. Mesa over sized cab with C90s, 1 SM-57 and 1 MD-421 into Neve 1272 preamps.

I think a lot of Jon's tone is in the crunch and upper mids, and he has surprisingly little bass in his sound... the bass player really fills out the sound in IE.

well, i'm mainly after the something wicked sound...it's super fat when he's playing chords, but super tight on the palm muted stuff.
i agree with matt that his tone is pretty light on the bottom end, moreso the low mids than the bass. it also has a high mid spike - maybe that's why my cobra can't do it, it's tight but lacks the hi mids.

@matt
we had that discussion some time ago i still think that your tone is reminiscent of AiA but nowhere close to SWTWC (mainly because i think those two sound nothing alike ), and i also stand by my opinion that for such a tone an engl blackmore would have been the easiest solution

so, any other suggestions than the bogner uberschall? soldano? engl e530 pre? vht?

It is a killer sound, i have the uber cab and lets just say you get the best of both words. Noodles borrowed my cab for a gig because his mesa cab he ordered had not come in. He still talks to this day about how my uber cab is the best cab he had ever heard.
