I'm still jelly about MIck's tone.
Just even once getting the tone he and Paul Kossoff got is my life goal, TBH 🤣
@DyDave Kossoff's is deffo a Holy Grail tone for me 🎸 ❤️
This is the tone that I always hear in my head when I plug a humbucker guitar into my Marshall, but never quite manage to get 🤷♂️

The sustain!!!!
@DyDave YES!!
I love that album, though for me, *this* is the Kossoff tone I've always dreamt of...
Also, now I think about it, this little monster gets as close to a Kossoff tone as I've ever managed. It's LOUD too (pick for scale):
@DyDave Oh I came REALLY close to one of those, I've only heard great things about them. What cab are you running it through?
@DyDave Paging @thomasbrunkard here. I know we're talking Kossoff, but Thomas is bloody brilliant with nailing tones. Specifically Brian May, but he's a wiz with Amplitube and ToneX, which is where I'd likely go for a Kossoff-esque sound. 🎸
We were only talking about Dr Sir Bri this morning when I was telling a mate about Chris Lord-Alge's thing of cranking his SSL EQ to full at 8K for guitar.
He said it was mad, and I argued: what is a treble booster anyway if not that? If Rory Gallagher and Dr Sir Bri do it, it must be right! 😂
