Wyatt	Re: Frank Zappa tone? There are articles on how Frank good his tone. I can't remeber a lot of details though. By Joe's Garage he was using a Carvin X-Amp for clean. Apparently live he use an amp for clean and an amp for distorted and used to mix the signals from both mics get the sound he wanted before it went to the PA. Apparently he saved live solos he like and mixed them into studio recordings when he could. -Y.
