Weekly Shredder's Rig - George Lynch in Under Lock and Key

The tone!!!

Lynch's Rig Would Be As Follows:

From the producer himself:
"We had two Marshall heads and two Laney heads, not sure which models, but one of them was a Plexi. We had cabs in three different rooms: two cabs were placed in the big room at Amigo, one connected to a Marshall, the other connected to the Laney. The Marshall was responsible for the high end part of the sound and the Laney was set to take care of the low end. There were 14 (fourteen) mics set up in that room in various psoitions around the cabinet and some further away to get some room tone. The second Laney was sent into a very dead room and had a Boss chorus pedal in front of it, set to very slight chorus. The second Marshall was sent into a small, tiled bathroom, to add a different room tone. Those 16 mics came in on the MCI 500 console mic pres. They were bussed to one bus and that bus had a UREI 530 EQ on it (best guitar EQ ever). George mentioned that he always gets a great tone with his Fostex 4track recorder when it's in total overdrive, so I asked him to bring it in. So after the 530 everything was sent to the Fostex 4track, which lived under a packing blanket under the console, so nobody would see it. The Fostex was on stunn, completely overdriven and was sent on to the 3M 32 track dig machine from there."

Assuming certain gaps in this explanation, let's break it down how we would normally:

4 Heads: 2 Marshalls and 2 Laneys for different sections of the EQ
I assume the "Plexi" head was his famed Modified Plexi.

Cabs: I assume Genz-Benz, correct me if I'm wrong

Boss Chorus Pedal

UREI 530 EQ Post Mic

and...FOSTEK 4 TRACK OVERDRIVEN!!! I think this may be bullshit...can't confirm it though.

It's also commonly known that Lynch would use an Ibanez Tube Screamer to push the preamp of his Marshall for many leads.
