Saw this pop up on Mr. Wein's FB, and damn do I love to talk about myself!

Favorite Guitar: Steve Morse Y2D. It has a Floyd, sometimes I wish it didn't but nonetheless it's sick.
Favorite Amp: EVH 5150iii 50w. Just ordered it and it should be here soon, I was laughing playing through it because it's so awesome.
Favorite Pedal: My tuner? Turbo Tuner. Pretty much the only pedal I need.

Favorite Tone: Van Halen? Pretty much all of the high gain 80's Marshally tones.
Favorite Player: Paul Gilbert. Hands down.
Favorite Genre: METALLLLL
Your Actual Tone: With the 5150iii, I think it does the 80's high gain/good tonez pretty goodly. Right now, I have a pretty shitty attempt at a nice warm metal tone through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.

Your Actual Genre: METAL AS FUCK! Prog metal, Protest the Hero. I'm essentially trying to start up a PTH cover band I liek them so much, haha.
