Let's make this the gear question thread. I put a sticky on it. It will help Michael to keep up with your most asked questions regarding gear. If you asked before and didn't find an answer, try asking again here. Remember...Just gear!

Hey Michael, just wondering what you think is the best amp for shred and also crunchy metal rhythm at the same time, like the 80's thrash sound. I'd ask what you think the best guitar for that is but im guessing Dean hehe, thanks.

About the amp question...having teched for Michael quite a few times I can tell you that he prefers to use Marshalls first and foremost, augmented by a Mesa/Boogie when using the Double Guitar. When doing clinics, if the Marshall or Mesa/Boogie amps are not available at the clinic location he will use the house Peavey 5150 or XXX if need be. However, Michael prefers Marshall amplification above all others. (MAB or Deb please correct me if I am wrong)

Me and a friend were watching a vid of you not long ago. We were both wondering what kind of pickups you use in your double neck guitars. We figured that they are either really hot P/U's or you have the volume up pretty high when doing those self harmonized solo's on either neck. Darcy

Michael will be here in a day or two to answer some questions. Regarding the new signature guitar, he will be at the Dean facility later this month to go over specs. No word on a new quad yet, it's on the "to do" list!

We don't have a price on it yet. As well as top shelf models, Dean also makes some very high quality reasonably priced guitars. Better start saving! You know you're all going to want one! ;D

I have EMG zakk wylde specials in my les paul, stock pickups tend to be horrible and if u plan to replace them its best to overspend on a good set than underspend.

That the model have and I swear my pair is retarded.Everyone else loves them mines are freakn evil dogs.Sometimes they sound good sometimes crap!I swear I don't have the Zakk Wylde pair and also the strings are a bit close which oddly effects the sound I need to fix the bridge! Also it sounds good on some AMPS more so than others (Output power)It sounds best on my worst AMP hahaha Peavey Practice AMP rage 100?My teacher used it today and omg it sounded good I was so mad and then the tone died on him lol!

Michael recently did an interview on gear. I thought it might be helpful to you guys. Primary guitar: A custom USA built "Mach 7 Jet Double-Guitar", a USA Dean "Blue Burst ML" and a USA Dean "Hard Tail" Guitar Other guitars: I have 52 guitars. Mostly custom made Charvels, Jacksons, custom made Gibsons and 1 Fender Strat. Ideal guitar: My Dean signature series to be released later this year and my Dean Mach 7 Jet Double-Guitar. First guitar: A beat up, used, funky, Fender Strat Amplification: Marshall (I know Jim Marshall personally and have worked with him several times over the years), then Mesa Boogie. Special Effects, especially rare or unconventional items: 2 Vintage Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamers (purchased when I was on tour in New Zealand) and a prototype original Digitech Whammy pedal. I have a lot of "vintage" digital guitar effects that I have collected from the late 80's and early 90's including 4 Rocktron Intellifexes, 2 Digitech 256 XL multi effects processors, A Lexicon PCM 90 and an Eventide Eclipse. I even have 2 vintage Tom Scholz "Rockman's" from the mid 80's. Strat or Les Paul? Les Paul- I met him and have a picture on my site of him holding my Double-Guitar. When he saw my guitar and heard me play it he said to me, "Great playing... and I thought I (meaning Les) invented everything"! Muddy Waters or B.B. King? I have seen them both- Equal Early Hendrix or Later Hendrix? Later Hendrix Eddie Van Halen or Randy Rhoads? Equal. I have met them both. Yngwie Malmsteen or The Great Kat? Yngwie. No contest. Guitar One Magazine listed the top 10 "shredders" of all time about a year ago and I was voted number 1. The Great Kat was 10th but she was quoted as saying that all of the other people mentioned in the top 10 ***ed but her. Nice! Yngwie was on the list as well.
