Great video - I was quite impressed with the CornCob - Since the introduction of Brit 800 #34, I never looked in the direction of any of the other AFD-style style amps, and I don't think the AFS one in the video sounds as good. I use the Atomica High for some EVH style stuff. It's really rippin. Check out Yek's guide for suggested settings.
A friend of mine has a Nitro and I tracked a lot of the last Ragdoll album with it; the novel always makes me think of those sessions and puts a smile on my face. It's like riding a fire breathing dragon in to battle.Splawn FTW, truly massive sounding high gain, but not too hairy, they are my favorites on the AX8.
Got to love Dio - Stand up and Shout indeed! And yes, the Tucana Lead is awesome. It’s been my main lead tone for at least a year now. If I had to pick two models in the Ax8 and ditch the rest I think I’d pick the Tucana Lead and the AC-20.
Well done Leon. Some new ones to check out for sure.
Love the corncob. Sounds great clean as well.

Here's 5 that come to mind; what are yours?
Always like your videos, Leon, but this time all the tones seem a little dark and muddy. Even the CCV.
Maybe its just my ears today.
There's never enough 80's hotrodded models! We need more!!! It's interesting how you set up the Tucana! The default value sets the drive parameter at 5 and the overdrive at 10. I thought it sounded kind of flubby! I see you do the opposite by setting the overdrive at 5 and the drive at 10 and it sounds awesome! I will definitly give that Tucana another try this way! Thanks for the tip!
Glad to hear that! I have a Splawn SuperComp (which is the 1 channel version of Nitro) and a Splawn StreetRod and they're my favorite gigging amps featurewise and soundwise. On my Ax8 I've used the Cameron Atomica since day1 for 90% of my gigging when I use the Ax8 and also the Cameron 2A and the Spawn QuickRod for my main programs. After watching some of your Mesa videos and these, I guess I'm going to spend a few more hours 'playing' with some other patches to see if I like them as much .. Btw, thanks for all the stuff you post as you're a wealth of knowledge and GREAT player. Eric
