man the H4's use to go for $50 set on the bay
not anymore!

LOL. If you honestly want his tone, an H4 is not the way to go. He never recorded with it, besides maybe on HCDR and Trashed Lost and Strungout.

I've done a ton of research, and all his good (IMO) tones were attained through the following:

Custom Jackson RR; Maple neck thru, alder wings, OFR, oiled neck.
Jackson J-50BC Bridge pickup
Jackson JE-1000 Boost (similar to the EMG Pa-2, which he puts in his current ESP's)
Lee Jackson Perfect Connection preamp (If anyone want's the settings, I can get those)
VHT 2/50/2 Poweramp (EL34's)
Marshall JCM900 Cabinet, and he usually only has one onstage.

Similar, yes. Depending on the DIP switch settings (the JE-1000 has an onboard 3-band EQ mounted to the board), as well as the setting of the gain pot......It could also sound totally different

Ah thanks for clearing that up Zerb .

I've looked all over for one of those, can't find one anywhere. I'm only about 5 posts from 100 on the JCF though, so maybe there's one in the classifieds .
