Title: that santana sound Post by: fred on June 10, 2008, 09:55:31 AM Hello all, i have been playing around with my amp alot as you can imagine, it is truely awsome, but i cant seem to get close to a santana sound. I much prefere his early stuff when i believe he was using a MKI (europa, black magic, samba pa ti, oye coma va, etc.) people say the OTS is very similar to the MK1 so i was wondering, how would one set their OTS to get a similar sound to his?
Also, why to people slate the FET channel. Its great! a more tamed, "produced" sound than the normal input. Not as good as the normal input IMO but still, defo not bad. Title: Re: that santana sound Post by: bluesfendermanblues on June 10, 2008, 03:53:59 PM Hello
The Mark I boogie has the boost tube in position one V1, whereas the Overtone/dumble has it in position V2 like the Boogie Mark II, Mark III & Mark IV. Therefore, you'll not get 100% early Santana tone out of the Overtone. However, Santana has recently switched to Dumble amplifiers so perhaps Santana can get a tone close to you ;-) I fully agree with you on the FET channel. I've trimmed mine so that a strat through the FET channel equals a les Paul through the normal input. So its just like a Fet boost build into the amp.

call me crazy but I think a lot of the older santana tones besides the amp the guitar and the man lean heavily on the original EH Big muff pedal. cheers |
