    Jeff Pilson has got to be one of THEE most amazing multi-talented and multi-faceted musicians that I've ever had the pleasure to work with! Something a lot of people don't know is that Jeff created unequaled Dio history! When he was in Dio on the 2 albums with Tracy-G...as many Dio fans know that on most Dio albums there's mention that "All lyrics and melodies by Ronnie James Dio".....Jeff wrote a song called "Stay Out of My Mind"....and Ronnie loved it so much that Ronnie put it on his album....and it was basically a "Cover Song" of Jeff's song!! That's HUGE! Just thought I'd add that bit of info here! I learned so much from Ronnie....and I gotta say....that the times where Jeff and I were in a band together and writing for that band and all the way up to the DD original stuff.....I learned so much from him ( Jeff ) especially in the song writing department that it completely changed much of how I write songs to this very day! Glad to have seen this!! And during the "Hear n Aid" project for the song "We're Stars" George Lynch scared me into having to go back to the "drawing board" for my playing. I was in the room at one point when George was warming up....I heard him play something that sounded like he was using a wah-wah pedal....so I looked down fully expecting to see that pedal....and there was none! It was his way....his magic and pure one of the world's best that he could basically do the impossible!! It scared me....and I'll never forget it!! So I had to go back to the drawing board and made myself learn how to consciously create "vowel sounds" on command! Before they happened by accident and we just kept them in the recordings from Rough Cutt demos, Giuffria, the band with Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge demos just before joining Dio ...and the Dream Evil album. Thanks Jeff and George for making me a better writer ( Jeff ) and a better player ( George )!!! Just thought people should know!!

    Michael Wagener (producer Under Lock & Key 1985 ):
    "The setup for George's guitar tone on "Under Lock And Key" was as follows:
    We had two Marshall heads and two Laney heads, not sure which models, but one of them was a Plexi. We had cabs in three different rooms: two cabs were placed in the big room at Amigo, one connected to a Marshall, the other connected to the Laney. The Marshall was responsible for the high end part of the sound and the Laney was set to take care of the low end. There were 14 (fourteen) mics set up in that room in various psoitions around the cabinet and some further away to get some room tone. The second Laney was sent into a very dead room and had a Boss chorus pedal in front of it, set to very slight chorus. The second Marshall was sent into a small, tiled bathroom, to add a different room tone. Those 16 mics came in on the MCI 500 console mic pres. They were bussed to one bus and that bus had a UREI 530 EQ on it (best guitar EQ ever). George mentioned that he always gets a great tone with his Fostex 4track recorder when it's in total overdrive, so I asked him to bring it in. So after the 530 everything was sent to the Fostex 4track, which lived under a packing blanket under the console, so nobody would see it. The Fostex was on stunn, completely overdriven and was sent on to the 3M 32 track dig machine from there.

    I use a stereo Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus boxes with those George CABS. I use the Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 to tap the signal direct to stereo fx. They work great for me. I mic the dry cab, but use the stereo Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus IR boxes to mixer. They are safe to use with your tube head as long as you don't go over 100 watts and check your connections everytime during set up.

    This is really cool! Im convinced tone chasing is a serious addiction. Marketing is incredible they have signature gear they dont use. Ive been playing for years actually took a few lessons from George at a record store best records. I enjoy this but it will end up costing me.. ill start buying and changing things and spend countless hours that lead to frustration. Everytime i think ive figured it out i wake. Up the next day and it doesn't sound right. I wish i new the definition of vintage would change from old gear nobody wants to old gear thats expensive. They mentioned echoplex ive owned a few and used to buy blank. 8 track tapes and splice them before they had replacement cartridges. I hated them yet was looking at one the other day. Im curious if modeling amps will one day will devalue vintage gear
