Ha! The guitarist of whom I spoke has the best guitar tone I have EVER heard, and recording engineers think this too. He uses a '68 Plexi, but there's more.... He turns all the knobs to "10," and runs the signal into a power soak, bringing the signal down to preamp-level. Then he runs that signal through a somple old tube amp (Peavey, I think), and out to two half-stack cabs, separated about ten feet. One of the cabs has a slight reverb/delay.

In other words, he uses a WOT '68 Plexi as a preamp. You should hear this.
