Try to find a Morley JD-10 overdrive on Ebay sometime. I think jens used one to get his Polyisix to growl. When I use an overdrive effect with my Polysix and a little bit of tweaking I can always get a good Jens lead sound. Did he use a Polysix or Matrix 12 for that song?

Thanks for the Information.
You see thats what hit's me is that Both instruments the Polysix and Matrix-12 are both phenomenal instruments both of em can rock and do the job plus there both unique.

The Modulation Matrix of the Matrix 12 gives you great possibilities, which exceed leads and pads very much. Even Karlheinz Stockhausen used an M12.

quote="keyboard hunger"]Hi,
Im sorry if this sounds horrible or arrogant please forgive me.
why is everyone trying to copy Jens i mean his lead tones, the Morley Jd-10 distortion pedal? and its simply stupid.
Jens never copied anyone he had his own creative way but now kids are copying him and why? .
I mean for leads i use Roland Jupiter 6 and now i will get a Korg Polysix not because Jens used it but because it looks sexy and sounds wicked, mind blowing and it suites my style i love it.
try to have your own setup.[/quote]
Sound familiar , you are a hypocrite....and a little strange..

Axe it's fine.
It does not sound arrogant.
But if i do a Jens tribute why not use the same sound.
Just like he did for Jon lord.

A performed a miracle with my Korg Polysix.
I was playing the waveforms but no thats wrong.
instead i changed to VCF oscillation where no waveforms are chosen instead i worked on DCOs. and i got a even more dirty Jens Johansson lead sound which blew my mind with some distortion heavy gain.
Now i want to focus on getting that nasty Growl which is my secong goal by using the Unison button stacking 6voices on one note is the job.
Bye folks.
And thanks a lot for all your information .
