Basically, I'm looking how to get Nuno's, or John Sykes (either really) sound using the amp and guitar I have. I've got a DSL50 and a Charvel Star, and today it's just sounding naff. I'm thinking about getting a ProCo Rat, would that help me in getting there in term of Nuno's tone?

An ADA Mp-1 preamp will definitely put you onto Nuno's tone and these can be picked up on ebay quite cheaply. Best run with a power amp or thro' the effects loop.

An ADA MP1 would definatley do the job PDT_015

Looks like my only choice then :lol:

Oh, can I ask, what would be a good power amp for this?

Some amp settings to try that I found on another forum. Low almost 0 mids about 7.5, treble about 9, reverb 6-8. Might sound like cr@p but you can try it.

Here is Nuno with his Pornograffiti era rig
Note he has several ADA T100s power amps to go with the two ADA MP1 preamps.

If you are interested I have an ADA T100s that I am not using (I have a lot of ADA stuff - big fan of it)

Rivera Knucklehead can also nail the latter Nuno tone, found on Waiting For The Punchline, the Mourning Widows, Schizophonic and Population 1.

No problem
Looking for £375 for the amp
It has been recently revalved with EL34s and biased and is ready to rock

I've just favoured my 6L6/5881 power amp of late - so I'm happy to sell it on

Oh that seems fair!

Well, I don't want to waste your time, so if someone wishes to purchase it, please don't give it a second thought and go ahead and sell it. If you have got it still in the future and it's still not being used, I may be very interested :)

I've just discovered some excellent tones from my current set up in the same vein of the new Whitesnake album :D

Thank you for your help again Jonathon :)
