Thanks!  How bout some clips of those tones you were getting last night?

back on track.  i think this could be a good thread.  especially with the steep learning curve associated with this amp

I'm not going to start a pissing match with you man.   What I'm saying is I can play Jammin by bob marley while getting SRV's TONE and not SOUND like SRV.  I am after the tone.  I don't care if I sound just like them when I'm playing.  I mainly made this statement so you would lay off the "the tone is in the fingers man"

Yeah i can nail el mocambo tone with bf fenders and a tubescreamer all day.  It's that texas flood sound that i love so much and he actually never really completely went back to that tone.  Had a twin reissue that was treating me right but i sold it to get the ots.  will get another one once i find some one else hard up for money though.

This is offensive whether you intended it that way or not.  I grew up listening to great music and great guitarists.

here is a link to the album recording of testify.  It's not through a fender amp, at least not completely its through a dumbleland amp.  And please give the tone through the fingers thing.  I respectfully asked for that not to be included in this thread.  I have my own style of playing and I'm a good layer.  I don't want to SOUND like SRV or JM, I just like the tone they get.



excuse the guitar hero BS, it was the only youtube i could find with the album version

sounds to me like he got pretty close.  That's a HRM Bluesmaster though.  How much difference is there between that and the original OTS?  Also sucks that we can't see his settings.

Ok let me start by saying that I understand that I'm not going to sound like SRV or JM just by having there gear.  That being said, can we please refrain from any more of these comments throughout this thread?  They're tiring.  When I hear John Mayers recording of "city love" from the crossroads guitar festival there are several points where he just picks an open E drop D tuned and I love that tone.  I KNOW I can sound just like John Mayer plucking an open string.  So lets start there.

I'm new to the forum but I figured this might be a good place to compile information into one thread.  I often see questions on forums that say "how do I get so and so's Tone on such and such song or record through my amp?".  So I'm creating what will hopefully be one thread where we can ask these questions and as a community come to some consensus answers. 

For me I'm interested in a couple of tones.  I love John Mayer's tones.  Specifically the cleans on his version of the wind cries marry and wait till tomorrow.  I also like his overdrive on his solo's (i.e. belief solo, just sounds WET).  I reallize he uses clean sounding amps with OD in front but I'd like to have some input from people who have nailed this tone on what settings and effects they used.

I've also been obsessed since I was a teenager about SRV's tone on the Texas Flood record.  I understand he used Jackson Brown's Dumbleland amp for most of that record.  A particular reference would be the instrumental Testify.  Again settings would be great (if this tone is even achievable through the OTS).

I'll throw one more out in the interest of getting things started - Little wing by SRV.  Great tone with the smallest bit of OD in there.  Sounds different than any other song he recorded IMHO.

I'm sure other people want to know specifics about Larry Carlton and Robben Ford Tones as well, so lets get this party started.  If I make any breakthrough's I'll post clips!

yes

also have a message up for a klein but after reading, think the c-lator will be a better fit.

Picking up my Overtone 50 tomorrow and can't wait.  I need a kelin-ulator asap to get some verb in this bad boy.  Shoot me a pm or email me at mma_webb@yahoo.com (for faster response) and let me know watcha got.
