You're one of my most influential inspirations for turning towards guitardom. Thanks for that a lot. Youre amazing, not to mention intriguing and innovative! My question is that i own a washburn guitar with open coil pickus and a humbucker, and I can NEVER get a nice clean distortion out of it, its always crunchy through a ZOOM pedal. What can I do? And my strings go out of tune if I use the fixed bridge whammy bar, even once. What could be the problem? I would appreciate a lot if you could suggest an amp to use for warm clean distortion tone. Thanx a lot for your time.
