KISS FANS: How does Tommy Thayer boost for solos live?

Postby kissfanps » 01 Apr 2010, 11:57

I put this here because he has been using his H&K Sig. heads for a while.

I have no clue how this dude boosts for solos. I never see him touch a pedal or his guitar volume. He has said he only uses an Octave Divider and a Delay for his solo (when he fires the rockets out of his guitar).

So, whats the deal? Is someone hitting the boost on the H&K selector off stage? Is the FOH guy riding the volume?

Either of those would be my guess.
