I'm not sure what gear do you have but to get that Eric Johnson tone...well...it takes a LOT.
 Not only his gear but micing, micing is a hell of a job, good micing can make descent tone sounding good and bad micing can make brilliant tone sounding horrible etc etc. As for basic idea it would be delay and OD, as Victor said.

QUOTE (maharzan @ Jan 5 2010, 05:07 PM)  Its experience.. not gears..  Just my thought.. I have all these 'great' / 'expensive' gears now.. but still can't get that sweet tone. You know, great players have tonnes of experience and can make broken guitars / cheap amps sound great. So, I guess you will have to fiddle around tweak tones add more gears etc to get 'that' tone.Well said, playing is VERY related to tone in general, you need to know how a sound reacts and how to control it to get best results.

I agree. I was lucky to play with Symphony X in Bogota as the opening act. I really didn't like Michael Romeo's tone that night, the thing is on stage his guitar sounded great but from the audience it wasn't really clear. What I noticed was that they had a Shure SM57 pointed at the center of the cone of the amp and I think that was what caused that. He was using a line6 Vetta II -------------------- Visit my:

You can use similar gear as he uses to create similar tone environment as his. This will get you started. This includes Marshall and Fender amps, delay and some chorus too.
On top of that, tone is in the fingers, no effect and overdrive or micing can make it sound good. Sure it can candy-wrap it, but the base will remain the same. The base tone is what comes out of the finges, what both hands produce. Experienced players know well the gear, and how it responds to playing. They adapt the gear to their preferences and adapt their playing too. Creating a good tone comes from placing the fretting hand right, making effortless, fluid movements (kind of movements done thousands of times), and picking the string just the right way. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
