Alright, Ive got no idea where to start. One thing Im not good at is dialing in tone close to other ones. Any ideas what to select to get a good baseline?

I'm sure I could figure it out but I don't have a single CD from Testament. Heck, I'm not sure if I have ever even heard them.Comment

try and make it sound like metallica. thats what they always did.
seriously, choose an amp and scoop the mids.Comment
-
In that case.. I would probably try a combination of the Mississippi Criminal with scooped midrange and the Uber for the punch.Comment

You also need to get Eric Peterson as your guitar player!
He uses Dual and Triple Rectifiers, I believe.

JG, which are your favorite amps on the Vetta?
I know the Uber and Deity. I think you mentioned you liked to Soldano once before.
Powerball?
What about the Marshall models?Comment

Skolnik is one of my favorite soloists. Chops from Hell, but his creativity was/is even more impressive! Right up there with the best ever, imo.Comment

The Powerball has too much gain. Its almost unusable.Originally posted by danastas
I am not a fan of the Marshall models by themselves on the Vetta 2.5 except for the JCM2000. I usually mix my Marshalls with other amps.
The new Soldano X88R on software version 2.5 is outstanding. Although the Vetta has tons of amp models and features I am pretty happy with the patches I have created. Most of mine involve the Uber in one way or another. Its probably the best high gain metal model in the Vetta. Alone.. its too in your face but it blends beautiful with other amps. Try blending Marshalls and Mesas. They occupy different frequencies and they sound extremely full together. Use them with the double tracker with the timing a little off and it makes them even bigger.
I could post VOLUMES about all the tricks you can accomplish with the Vetta. Its an amazing piece of technology in the right hands.Comment

Alex Skolnick is incredible, one of Joe Satriani's most accomplished students.

I think if you really wanna capture Alex Skolnick's sound you should get an ADA MP-1 pre-amp, he used that a lot back in the days.. But I think you should be able to get pretty close with the Vetta though"This ain't no Arsenio Hall show, destroy something!"Comment
