You should hear some of the amazing tones we got out of my GT-6, Peavey Classic 50/50 (with eight EL-84s) and Genz Benz G-flex 212.

I tweaked some patches to get a really great snarl from the seven strings. Sounds really wicked.

I also have this sweet Twin patch with tremolo on it that sounded just spectacular with the amp running full out.

We spontaneously decided to try some other rhythm tracks with a thin hollowbody Washburn and TubeScreamer re-issue that were on hand in the studio. We just ran the guitar into the tube screamer, then into the GT-6 running a Twin patch with some light grit. Holy crap, that was an amazing tone.
