you should reveal your setting that you use on everyting that would be so awesome = )

[lblicharz]

Hello, could you please tell me what effects exactly did you use? The tone you've got here is amazing.

[richiedeathness]

@lblicharz I used a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100 + 1960A cab + SHure 57 into Cubase then Vibe EQ + Stereo Delay + Stereo Reverb. most of the tone came from the playing to be honest.

[redhavok666]
