Just a super reverb (albeit a severely modded one) and a stock squier classic vibe 50's (wires and pots& switch upgraded)

This the super as standalone.... normally i pair it up with a superhardon ptp clone and two tubescreamers and a vibratone unit driven by it's own fender amp.

main strat is a 63 slabboard one

I have an OTS (sold the S&M and bought the 50w OTS) and to get SRV, Chris Duarte, Henry Garza, etc.  I use a Hermida Zendrive 2 (not the Zendrive.. the ZENDRIVE 2) and it's as close to this sound as I've ever gotten.  Only a purist would know the difference, and he wouldn't be listening to me play anyway!

Of course you have to use a single coil, neck pup... high quality... I like the Rio Grande lineup personally...  I had a set of Muy Macho's and they pretty much nailed it...

Then practice practice practice until your ears bleed.

Rock on!

you know guys.... i have an OTS HRM and its a matter of adapting yr technique to get the sound, just like the guys who go for the robben ford sound on the OTS.

i used the OTS in a gig last night, using my own custom mini 335, and got great peter green tones, and also sounds which approached albert king. but i hardly changed my tone settings (albeit they were quite clean). its technique.

same goes with my old voxac30, plenty of cleans and lovely tones when it starts to break up. i have no qualms whatsoever using either. you just have to use yr ears and adapt yr setting and technique accordingly.

 at home, for SRV tones, i set the OT POT a little under half way and OD gain at about 2 or 3 with all 3 front panel switches down. works well. at gigs however, the clean channel at higher volumes breaks up nicely and i use that on boost from the footswitch (again, all switches in the down position). depending on which tone i am after, i may use the mid boost switch which breaks it up a little more and add some sustain.


bear in mind however i have a CLOSED back on my OTS, and it will respond a little differently to open back because if this.
