I wonder how many people have heard of this:
Album: Age Of Impact
Track: Impact #2 - Fading Fast
By: Explorer's Club
This was a project group by Trent Gardner. What's worth buying about this album is mainly the solos all over the album which many are by none other than John Petrucci. This was when he was still with Ibanez, comparatively still less known, and freshly after A Change Of Seasons and Falling Into Infinity.
I specially mention track 2, mainly because he does all the solos on this track, and his signature tone is all over this. he RARELY plays like this on his DT albums (with the exception of Lines In The Sand from Falling Into Infinity), and is probably the most powerful solo I've ever heard. It's so simple a 5 year old could probably play it. But it's so damned effective. Try searching for this track. You won't regret it. It'll bring you to tears...
Up till today, these 3 solos never fail to bring a chill to my spine. THIS is tone!!!
Honestly, we know this isn't a case of the guitar, because I used to have one of these. You can get a very similar tone from the JP6, but I believe a lot of the tone buildup was also due to his rig set up, and the fact that he used a killer reverb unit... (was it TC Electronics? Or Lexicon PCM90? Can't remember)
The other one that just slays is also by John Petrucci, but done with Jordan Rudess in the live album "An Evening With" - In The Moment. This one kills man... and THIS was the EBMM...
