Gary Moore One Day Setup

the best day of your life will be when your son is born.... this is just some music shit, its not even something for your own band. You won't even remember this day by the time you are 25.

didn't Gary Moore play Peter Greene's 'burst Les Paul through a marshall back when he was still relevant? well there ya go! break out your 59 Les Paul and maybe a '68 superlead, plug into the bright input, turn everything but the bass. presence and normal channel volume to 10... if you don't have a vintage plexi then maybe you have a mid-70s metal face Marshall that could get you close or failing that you could go my route and fire up on of your Vox AC30s.... no?

just take whatever you've got then, it will be fine. Be really loud. Amps sound good when they throw serious SPL.

Geez, chill out mate! Your sounding like a bit of a dick there.

Yeah he played a '59 les paul, and some sort of marshall, which I think was probably a super lead, and all that's important, but you need to really get that sustain, which with the amp settings Jim mentioned, and maybe a nice tubescreamery thing into the front you could get that.

I'll have a look at your EB, and assess what you have, to try, and work out what'd be best.

EDIT: Lol I don't think a roland cube is gonna get the sound of a cranked marshall superlead, and neither will your cheap cort, really. I'd advise you forget pedals, and buy a new amp, or guitar, I suggest a marshall hybrid combo, and an epiphone as a reasonably priced duo.

I knew I was getting called a dick by SOMEone on that response and I made it anyways.

Anyway, can the OP borrow a nice little Marshall (15 watts to 50 would do it) from a family member or friendly older player he knows?

Is the Cort made in Korea or China. If its made in Korea stick with the Cort over a new Epi LP. Those Korean Cort guitars are nice little instruments believe it or not.

Just stick with what y'all got an turn up LOUD!. I'm sure your Cube amp has a superlead model in its arsenal of digital amp simulations. Your instructions are to go into superlead mode on the cube (or brith rock, whatever the call their plexi model), turn all the virtual controls up except bass and presence, then open up your amp's master until you really push the speaker hard and your neighbors and parents are furious. If your guitar isn't vibrating against your belly you are not loud enough. If you follow my advice and it sounds good go with it.

Raw volume always works. Oldsters like Peter Greene and Gary Moore have more (pun intended) speaker breakup going than you would thing. A big component of old school guitar crunch tone is the speakers giving up and distorting.
