    Imagine a FOH guy that puts zero grease on your voice or guitar and you still sound awesome. That's how great and in-tune Sykes was. Plus he understood that guitar sounds need midrange, a concept which eludes so many other guitarists. That's half his great tone right there. Not to mention that's how loud guitars should be in the mix at every live show.
