Power amp is set to Pentode/Simul Class.

I use a 2x12 Horizontal Recto Cab along with a $5 no-name headset I got at Staples.

For the delay I use Cooledit FX.

Thanks for watching!

amazing!!! 5 stars!! ...hi...emmm do you use any pedal booster for this solo sound or it's only amp?

[kbourque]

Thank you! Just guitar straight to amp and cabinet. No pedals/effects/etc. Delay was added in Cool Edit.

Nice bends dude! Thats the biggest problem I usually see with people covering this solo.

[kbourque]

Thanks, I appreciate that! Getting all the bends is definitely the challenge for this one, I worked really hard to get them all right.

nobody can play it perfect and i think this is pretty damn close. very well done.

question: on the 24th C, how come you strummed it multiple times?

[kbourque]

Thank you very much for your comment I really appreciate it.

Since I recorded this at a lower volume I wasn't getting very much sustain so to keep the note from ringing out I had to keep strumming it.

Nice job man. Some parts would have been better with the neck pick-up though.

[SebaChannel]

you've got a lot of skill men, keep working on it

[TheHornet79]

I envy you. You have the amp of my dreams and the guitar of one of me dreams(lol) only in my dream its a roasted neck and I play awesome like you D;

[pmacFTO]

@jmiester25 Petrucci does this too live although at full boost I'm sure he can sustain that note too just as kbourque would too at higher gain with that great Mk IV
