Zakk on a Epiphone Les Paul.... 
Im gonna go out on a limb here and say hes not using a Roland Cube for hos amplification here.
I think that tone is totally possible from a Cube.
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that saysLove Zakk
I think better tone is possible from a Roland Cube!


Hmmm....
Personally, I love it. If I could be half the player as Zakk and have half of his tone, I'dll be happy.
I get your point. I’ve had similar thoughts about other players myself.
I wanna see it played with a Satin Chrome Trem Arm!!!!!Ramos version on Jackson
I mean, Eric Johnson sounds phenomenal, but I wouldn't necessarily want his vocabulary, only because, as great as he is, his style doesn't excite me.
That was filled way before satin trem arm. I have something coming up with satin trem. Stay tuned.I wanna see it played with a Satin Chrome Trem Arm!!!!!
MY favorite tone is Smitty playing guitars at my house or his/my Washburn at Atomic music.I completely understand. Music is very personal and holds different meanings in different ways for each of us.
And, as often as I speak glowingly of Eric Johnson, he is not my favorite player! Surprised? I do mention him a lot and there are many things about his style that I find very creative and unique.
The fact is, though, I have no favorite players. I have no favorite players, I have no favorite tone, I have no favorite guitar, no favorite style of music, no favorite song…
I tend to pick and choose what I like here and there.
