if you can imitate van halen sound or the edge sound, and knopfler sound, you can build your own great sound, for sure.
it's mathematic and most of all logic.
i play live with my sound and they are great.
my vg88 is better preamp than the soldano that i had, and from all my boogie preamp.
but you have to dig and search..
individuality comes from your hand, not from the machine.
again it's my opinion and was answering about sound cover of the first post.
