Here’s one for ya guys; I’ve got an Edwards LPC I put the Zakk Wylde EMG’s into over the weekend and of course the first thing I wanted to do was go play “No More Tears”. Instead of just using my normal tones, I figured I‘d make a No More Tears-era Zakk preset like I did the EVH Balance and Vai presets that I was pretty stoked with the results of. I can get about 80% of the No More Tears tone, there’s so much fucking hair on this tone it’s the last 80% I’m unable to achieve.
The tone sounds so different isolated than I ever would have expected, far less distortion and sustain, but daaaamn listen to that hair sitting on top of the tone. I’ve been switching between the 800, 800 Mod and #34 but can still really only get the base tone down, that hair has been impossible and I’m assuming I’m going to have to find it in the IR as no amount of tweaking the highs was doing it for me. (And yes, I’m boosting with a Super Overdrive or whatever it’s called in Fractal land)
