Tolkki's guitar effekts

Here musicians can talk to each other about making music etc. Of course if you are not a musician you are still welcomed to this board, but the topics should somehow be about making music.

Tolkki's guitar effekts

Well I love the sounds coming out of timo's guitar... I could probably not afford whatever guitar effects he got, but i would sure like to know what he got. Does anybody know what he uses? I think he uses Laney amplifiers(not sure wich) :wink:

Don't know... though one thing is certain: There is one hell of a lot of Delay in his sounds :D and sometimes he boofs up the sound with Chorus...and I think I heard Flanging in one or two songs too! But mainly I think it's basicly heavy distortion with a lot of delay and some reverb...

He uses both. He was playing the black guitar here in London until the end of Destiny when a string broke, and then switched to the Dolphin guitar for Black Diamond.

I guess only Timo can answer that :D

Probably for the same reason I use one of my basses instead of the other, i.e. no real reason!

Sure I use my new Jackson guitar more than I use my old crap guitar... But both of these guitars are proper kick ass.
