I've been learning some Yes songs (Yours is No Disgrace, Long Distance Runaround) and I can play it, I just can't get that same tone-ish place.

I was wondering if anyone has some amp settings or tips for getting something close to a Steve Howe tone.

I know it won't be the same since I play a:
Dean Hardtail Standard through a GMX212 V-Tone Behringer amp.

Any help at all would be great, thanks.

Sell your gear, buy a 1957 es 175 and a set of vintage fender amps, and you should be there.
Seriously, Howe uses a lot of different sounds, so it all depends on what sound you want to copy. I'll say go for the FENDER TWEED DELUXE modeled amp with some chorus, and use your neck pickup. Then twist and turn all knobs to things sound as you want them to.

It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??
