I'm in a bind. I was listening to Blind Guardian this morning again and I can't help but wonder, how the Hell does Andre Olberch get that epic lead tone? Any idea's anybody?

Ah. I bet it's the wah I'm hearing most of the time.

Finding tone is one of the biggest quest being a great guitar player.Its a lot of work actually and a lot of twidling and experimenting.Finding the right gear for you is one way achieving it.Its nice to have influence regarding tone,but it's much better finding you original tone or sound.
