I would like some info on How to come closer to a Randy Rhoads sound. Now I know that a good percentage of his sound came from his fingertips but as far as pedals and equipment and settings go can ya kick me some facts. Here's what I am currently using. An Ibanez gem dbk with diaddario .009's w dimarzio breed pickups 2 humbucks and a single coil, (I have a super distortion that I haven't yet installed). into an mxr distortion pedal into a crybaby wah then into a Marshall jcm 900 head w/a Marshall cab with 4 75w speakers. Now I know I am missing alot of things but this is what I am using what can I do to get me closer, if anyone can give me settings on amps and pedals that would be great. I have a pretty good sound but it could be better. If anyone knows how to get me closer let me know. Oh another thing does anyone know how to use the mxr pedal and not have it sound real muddy super duper distorted, I also get a kind of hum also. well thanx p walnuts
