I don't have my own tone, when I try to get one I end up with unplugged guitar in my hands playing metal.
It's not like I want to be Gus, but I like hes tone, just as I like Luis Mariutti bass tone from Shaman Ritualive dvd, or Kai Hansen's voice.
I just WANT to get something like this, because I like it.
And using same gear would be much easier to achieve this.
