I think being able to mute the strings when sweep picking is very very important. Without muting the strings it will sounds really bad and just sound like lots of noise. You can mute with your picking hand and as aiwass said you can also mute with your fretting hand which is what michael angelo does and many other good sweep pickers.
If you want to get good at sweep picking you should definatly check out michael angelos "speed kills" dvd. Its really useful because you get the tabs with it and it teaches you how to sweep pick as well as other stuff.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
