Yeah, I usually don't "boast" about sounds bc I end up with something I know is only what I like to use, but this really sounds like the 80's rockers. I made a patch I really hated right before this and almost hung it up for the night, then started playing around with EQs on a patch & just used a double mid boost type sound (Maxon into the Eleven Racks JRC, both with very little gain). I'd gig with this, I can playevetyyhing from classic VH to Extreme and be happy. A switch in cabinets gives me the Jake E Lee sound for Ozzy or I can just turn the tone knob on my guitar down a bit for varieties of guitar sounds.
