And as for his "standard" tone, it's a mid-80's diode clipping JCM800 (not the earlier 2204 that had just a hair more gain than the 1980 JMP) with again, not one but two Boss distortion pedals. One is on at all times for his rhythm sound, then he kicks on the other for his leads.

Outside of No More Tears (and even then, only a few songs standout), I've lost all interest in Ozzy. Boring songs, repetitive guitar riffs and recently, sub-par production.
Blech.
Interestingly enough, "Tribute" is the only album I ever actually listen to. [Reply]

Interesting. I can't stand anything Crue post "Shout at the Devil". The only Crue I can tolerate is early Crue... [Reply]

I can vouch for this. Metallica sounded like dogcrap on that tour. Then Ozzy came out and sounded 10 times better. [Reply]

The 1x12 shouldn't affect the sound, unless they're crap 1x12's with crap speakers (and if you say "Vintage 30's", there's a start - Crap). If you're using the Mini Rectifier cab or a Bogner Cube, it should sound godly. If it doesn't, there's something else in the chain.
Guitar, pickups, strings, tubes and even the hardware can all make a huge difference in tone. [Reply]
Lynch Mob was played at a bar that I worked at in college, Springfield, MO. I really like Wicked Sensation and they played great that night. Wish they would have keep Oni Logan, he was the best singer for them. [Reply]

Saw this bumped and thought it was a Deberg move. Nailed it!
And kind of funny, too - I stumbled back on to Tooth and Nail not too long ago. It was an album sort of before its time. I enjoyed listening to it again. [Reply]
