Boost it with a tubescreamer or DOD 250 or something, and then lots of chorus and flanger kinda effects <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br /> That was the live rig of almost every 80's band.<br /> Ratt used Laney AOR in the beginning but thats almost the same as JCM800. </p> <p>In studio there were a lot of bands using Soldano SLO, think of dimartini, george lynch, van halen, etc etc.</p> <p>Also the ADA MP1 was a well seen Rack preamp in the 80's. Guys like XYZ, maiden, paul gilbert, etc played it. Had one but didn't like it that much.<br /> At the moment i'm building my own ultimate marshall clone. JTM45, Plexi, JMP and JCM800 in one amp <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-37456 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 00:15:31 +0000 metalrulesall 37456@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>anything buy mick mars,steve lynch on turn up the radio and loud and clear,angus young run away train,zack wydle no more tears,paul hackman wild in the streets,.....juat to name a few </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-37453 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 11:38:38 +0000 dizzy 37453@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Slash and Izzy together on appetite<br /> And ofcourse Eddie Van Halen on the first Van Halen record </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-37219 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 21:40:29 +0000 specgabe696 37219@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>eddie van halen on MCMLXXXIV<br /> Jake e. lee on bark at the moon<br /> Mick mars on Dr. Feelgood<br /> Slash in Guns n roses<br /> Richie sambora on New Jersey<br /> great, great tones, if i could reproduce these tones it would be fuckin' good,<br /> altough it comes close when i am playin' my charvel and Pro co rat with my friend's JCM 800 2203, i read somewhere that this is the amp that mick mars and richie sambora uses live sometimes </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-29641 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:27:33 +0000 squid 29641@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Lots of LA Guns stuff has that PERFECT tone.<br /> I agree on 20th century boy as well. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-29467 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:13:12 +0000 Stokes 29467@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>anyone got any setting recommendations for a ratt and dokken tone?</p> <p>i know lynch has used randalls and has a signature randall out now and warren demartini had a very unique jcm 800 that marshall based there reissuse off of but i think i could get a similar tone on my jcm 2000 with my overdire pedal </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-29455 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 05:53:45 +0000 Glamrockerfs 29455@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Warren Demartini on Body Talk<br /> George Lynch on Wicked Sensation<br /> For Power Ballads cant go wrong with the guitars on Every Rose Has Its Thorn<br /> Slash's tone for the more RNR type stuff, just has that snarl to it. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-29404 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:07:56 +0000 Dash 29404@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Exactly.the signature sound.I think every great band has a signature sound.or at least should have a sound that's sets them apart from everything else.I actually believe that rachel bolans bass is a signature of skid row,u kno,when bach isn't singing,u can def tell a skid song from something else </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-lifestyle-forum/the-ultimate-glam-guitar-tone#post-29293 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 04:32:23 +0000 Ms.CleoTyler 29293@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"i cant say with much glam sound, but hands down,george lynch has the best guitar tone in the history of guitar.THE BEST.so i would say any riff from any Dokken or Lynch Mob song would be what i would write here"<br /><strong> -

20th Century Boy (mainly live, like the Musik Laden one)<br /> Another Pretty Face - Wild Child<br /> Suede - Metal Mickey, and particularly the heavy section of Pantomime Horse<br /> Mick Ronson - Angel #9<br /> Brett Smiley - Pre-columbian Love<br /> Bowie - heaps, like Rebel Rebel, Star, Hang Onto Yourself, Let's Spend The Nigt Together...<br /> NY Dolls - Jet Boy</p> <p>I'm sure there's zillions of others I'm forgetting..? </p>
