Hello
I was hoping someone out there would have an opinion on finding a John Sykes tone with my
Heartbreaker. I'm speaking specifically Thin Lizzy John Sykes ( Thunder and Lightning era) and solo recordings. I'm aware in Lizzy he used Marshall's, but used Boogies later to get a similar, if not higher gain tone. John used 2 Mesa Boogie Coliseum heads, these amps have a Mark III pre-amp section but use six 6L6 power tubes from what I've read (I am also using 6L6's in my Heartbreaker) he also used Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+'s, Mark III's. If you would have any suggestion of what settings would approximate his, it'd be appreciated
Also I would like do this without adding any pedal to the signal chain.
Thank you
