Wow spot on
I played and watched and attended many 80's concerts.. I use dueal delays. Ducking delays.. One fast and one that has some repeats and around 700 ms. With distortion I also use chorus or Micropitch like EVH and Steve Vai, etc.. Can't beat it..
Great video, and a Boss Dimension C is always in the ballpark of this tone chase too
The chords and sounds around 7:15+/- remind me of PETS by Porno For Pyros.
I'd consult George Lynch.
