" I'm getting a little of that Band Of Gypsys thing. When I go to my bridge pickup, I'm getting that British-style Cream sort of sound. What really made a difference is that I stopped using power amps and Marshall cabinets. Now I'm using a pair of Yamaha's new DG100-212 100-watt 2x12 combos. They're the digital modeling series. I saw Holdsworth using one and I thought it sounded great. Yamaha gave me one to try and I really enjoyed it. One day I got this bright idea to plug one side of my rack into the return on the effects loop, and it sounded great. I got another amp and hooked up the left and right signals to each of the amps, and that's when everything changed for me. I should have been using open-backed style guitar amps all along because that's where my style is. I always had to fight a Marshall cabinet. There's something about the closed-back and it's not as "bouncy." To me, the open-back cabinet is way more vocal than the Marshall cabinets."
