Took some info I found about Criss' (Oliva, Savatage) sound and made my 1st attempt at it. What I read was that he always played with amp head on clean and used 2 Boss Super Overdrives, one with the tone rolled all the way off, and one with the one all the way on. In the L6 edit's case, I used the "Screamer" model (was the only dist i could see that had the "tone" knob). Then the regular reverb, compression, etc. I basically did that in the software using the "Solo 100 Clean" amp with a 4x12 Greenback + 57 off-axis.
In this sample, I'm playing along with Savatage's Gutter Ballet mp3 (256k) and my guitar is panned all the way left. Personally, I'm happy w/ the tone...it may not be exact...but it damn sure blends well with the tones in the song.

EDIT: haven't played this song in years, so i'm suckin' hardcore on it lol
EDIT2: playing aside, the more I realize it needs something else...chorus or something maybe. Thoughts?
