What equipments do you use in ur tone? I'm using a phaser and some distortion for my tonelab. The phaser is supposed to be the MXR Phase 90, and I love it.

I looking for some good tones, like gustavo guerra's.

i use a Line-6 Spider III 15 watt amp, when i play with the band, i run a cord out the headphone side of it and to a splitter cord to my buddy's custom Frehley (SP?) amp. When on the metal setting i have drive, bass, treble, and channel volume all the way up, while my midtones are all the way down, sometimes i'll turn the flanger on a slow sweep for galloping rhythmic sections. When i have it on the insane setting its a little more touchy, so i back my drive down to 5 or 6 and have bass at maybe 7, midtones prolly about 3-4 and treble at about 5-6-7 and channel volume at 6.

Usually for practice I use my M-Audio Black Box Reloaded into some Roland powered monitors, and it's also my interface to connect to my Sonar for recording...it has some really good amp models inside and the effects are top-notch...

I have my Rivera M100 head for sheer volume and Marshall-esqu and Fender tones....I need to get a HotPlate for it as it's incredibly loud even using the power scaling....

For guitars, lately all I've been playing is my Les Paul Custom w/EMG's...it's just so easy to play and sounds so right to me...but I've had it the longest and we've bonded lol....

I use a Roland Micro Cube on the classic stack setting the tone halfway and the gain all the way up. it gives kind of an organic overdrive/super light distortion that doesnt muddy up notes but sounds good for neoclassical. though for thrash metal or heavier stuff i put it on the R-fier setting and turn the tone knob from 1/2 too about a quarter. also use a touch of delay too make it sound a little better
