For sufficient sustain at bearable volume levels you really have to slam your preamp tubes in the mouth if your tube amp doesn't have enough gain on its own. An overdrive pedal or tube screamer is designed to do exactly that."
yeah, he's a loud son of a beeatch when i saw him live in a small club (300 people max) he had 4 marshall (half)stacks on stage, all turned on. i dunno if he used them all at the same time, or if he had some kind of wet/dry setup for his echo etudes etc, but i can assure you one thing: it was LOUD.
as for the DOD, he's using it because of his very weak pickups. apparently boosting a low level guitar signal sounds better to him than using hotter pickups in the first place....weirdo
