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

Post by Ahlimatainen »

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...

slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain.
No sparks of hope inside,
no shooting stars on my sky.
On broken wings, no flying high...

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.
