I have a Dunlop 535 Q Wah (which Mike uses) and and Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer (which Mike also uses). Does anyone know how he has these set? I love his tone and need some tips on dialing it in. For reference I'm using a Vintage late 60's Fender Twin Reverb and a Strat. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

    crank the amp to a nice round clean tone around halfway, adjust the EQ to your liking.

    Run the volume on the TS-9 all the way up, adjust tone to your liking, bring the gain up slowly untill you achieve the sound you're looking for.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Exactly, just please be gentle on the high end tones a bit. I've noticed that Mikey tone has gotten sharper & sharper over the years, & can kill the ears on the rare occasion. Aim yourself for a nice mild Mike tone anything pre-2000. He was a bit warmer then.
