Tokai LS150F - Knocking On Heaven's Door - Matt Thorpe

I guess this is my version of Knocking On Heaven's Door. At a first gig with a covers band I play with (Cold Shot) they went into this, unrehearsed, as a finale and I've played the solo the same way ever since.

Is that Tokai Les Paul Violin Finish?

[Mattukgtr]

@TheOrlyproductions - yes it is Violin Finish

Ok I have to ask......are you using a processor for your drive and effects. That style of compressed blues overdrive is hard to dial in correctly with pedals. Sort of reminds me of that thick Mesa drive sound. And secondly are you using a noise gate? Thanks for your time!

[Mattukgtr]

@therangersinger Yes the guitar is recorded directly using a Line6 PODxt.

The modelled sound is based upon a 70's Marshall Plexi head with a 4x12 with vintage30's and a RAT pedal. There maybe some noise gating going on in the processor but nothing I have conciously added.

No this is a 2008 LS150F - yes I'm confused by Tokai's product numbering also - it's about the only thing they got wrong though !

Anyone knows how can i check that my tokai is ls250 and not any other model?

[Mattukgtr]

If you remove the bridge pickup it should be written on the bottom of the cavity.

Hi Matt,

Really Amazing, You should do it JUST like that live, in complete darkness, with just a spot-light on you playing ! Malcolm.
