I am looking to get started on a similar tone to what he uses with his solo material. Any suggestions or starting points? Thanks!

Even the slightest bit of research would point you to threads like these (although I'm not sure links are working):

Generally browsing the "Musicians Corner" should offer loads of information.

Thanks!

Haha Biert uses search like a loser.

I didn't use Search. I browsed, I browsed! Hard-core!!

He sneaks up behind you and rubs your thighs ever so delicately and nibbles your ear...


err wait you were talking about guitar tone.

oops.

chorus, delay, reverb, gain around 6...experiment.

mesa + emgs + effects

yea...the emgs just about kill everything ton wise. Thank god for the mesa & effects.

"Devin" is pronounced "divine" for a reason.

Buy Ziltoid special edition, and find out...
It's quite easy actually, and again, don't forget, sound and tone also come out of your fingers and way of playing.
If any one different than Devin would play on his rig, on the same guitar, it would already sound way different.

Whats on the Zoltoid special edition? I only got the normal edition? Is there some cool studio type stuff?

theres a promo video where devin describes his guitar set-up, you can probably find it on youtube
