I’m seriously tempted by IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube3….drool:
Thank you so much Richard…you’re a star! Will get cracking on this asap and keep you posted on the “progress”!!….hehehe. Is this in EADGBE tuning or Tom’s 4ths tuning?
Bogner Ecstacy? Fender Deluxe Reverb? Marshall JTM-45? Hughes and Kettner Statesman?
Fuchs ODS?
Just a list of my dream amps!!! Any luck?I’ve just ordered two books:
Exploring Jazz Guitar by Phil Capone
Jazzin’ The Blues by John Ganapes&David RoosThey look quite simple and accomplished at the same time.
Thank you so much for your reply Richard. Will defo check out the link posted. Hope tabbing this wouldn’t be too much trouble….its just that 5sec run from 1:20 to 1:25….phwoar!!!
You’re very kind…hey BOTWguitarfan…..saw The Man last night!!! I think the word I’m looking for is EPIPHANY!!! Check my post…….I’m sure you’ll have a blast.
guys the gig was frickin’ amazing!! Holdsworth with Gary Husband on drums and Jimmy Johnson on bass. They played quite a few classics like Fred, Devil Take The Hindmost, Water On The Brain, Proto Cosmos etc. I was fortunate to have the “best seat in the house”…8 feet away from The Man himself (1st person from the stage!!). He was playing a black headless Steinberger (looked like the classic L series) with 2humbuckers(exposed pole pieces). He had 2 Hughes&Kettner combos (mic’d by Neumann U87s I think). And I think he was using the Yamaha Magic Stomp to cycle thru patches. I saw Brett Garsed live in ’07, Scott Henderson last year but I must say…this guy is truly The Master. It was total improvisation…including drum parts!! Husband actually beats the crap out of the drums and Holdsworth seems to be a really laid back humble guy. They seemed to be completely enjoying playing together….awesome!
Tough question but here goes:
(i) Brett Garsed’s solo on “Punchline” from Quid Pro Quo (Garsed&Helmerich)
(ii) Scott Henderson’s solo on “Dolemite” from Tore Down House
(iii) TJ Helmerich’s outro solo on “Horizon Dream” from Exempt (Garsed&Helmerich)
(iv) Allan Holdsworth’s solos on “Low Levels,High Stakes” from Hard Hat Area
(v) Allen Hinds solos on “Hmpf” from The Fact of The Matter
(vi) Shawn Lane’s solos on “Rules of The Game” from Powers of Ten
(vii) Allan Holdsworth’s solos on “Tullio” from Hard Hat Area
(viii) Brett Garsed’s solos on “Hey Tee Bone” from Centrifugal Funk
(ix) Scott Henderson’s solos on “Worlds Waiting” from Reality Check (Tribal Tech)
(x) John Petrucci’s outro solo on “Voices” from Awake (Dream Theater)
(xi) Pat Metheny’s solos on “So May It Secretly Begin” from Still Life Talking
(xii) the Edge’s solo on “The Fly” from Achtung Baby (U2)
(xiii) Joe Satriani’s solos on “Love Thing” from Crystal Planet
(xiv) Greg Howe’s solos on “In Step” from Introspection
(xv) Slash’s solos on “Estranged” from Use Your Illusion II (Guns N’ Roses)I am listening to Allen Hinds at the moment and think he is best kept secret in the US guitar scene. I bought 4tracks from iTunes and am totally floored by his tone and touch. His music is slightly “smooth” at times but the tone and note choices are faultless. The best way to describe his style is “Allan Holdsworth with a Blues/Rock harmonic sense”. Check him out people…
Hi Frank,
I am seriously thinking of ordering atleast one of those DVDs!! Do you have
The Next Step or Beyond The Guitar? They are 3 and 4disc sets respectively costing $97 and $89? Which disc do you have and does he do an in-depth tutorial on his legato technique because that is what I am specifically interested in…Just wanted to copy/paste a couple of e-mail replies that Mr.Hinds himself sent me over the last 3days. The 1st question was about his tone on the “Fact Of The Matter”(there is a track on that record called “Hmph” that will haunt me till the day I die!!) CD and the second question was about his tone EQ-ing for the YouTube clip above that I’ve attached:
“hey Ajay, Allen Hinds here..
i did most of that c.d. with an early 70s Deluxe reverb amp with a Fane 100 watt alnico speaker in it… I use the AC boost by Xotic..for overdrive…thats pretty much it……dont use any fancy mic techniques.. just move a 57 around till it sounds good….
thanks
allen““well thats a Tom holmes pickup on that guitar.. and usually with no distortion on the guitar,I adjust the EQ so that even with the humbucker on its not too trebly…usually i just dial back the treble to about 4 or so…bass around 7 or so…and then with the AC on, i adjust it Gain around 1 oclock, treble around 11 oclock, bass at 12 o clock and volume around 9 oclock…
hope that helps

Hi legatofix, 🙂
I believe that you are correct! 😉
As I recently said in these very IG-forums, Robben Ford had the BEST live overdriven lead guitar-sound I’ve EVER HEARD at a performance he did at a Fender Artist Show I saw at the NAMM show back in 2002! I later found out that he was using the Dumble Overdrive Special at the time (and still is, I think?!?) 😎
BTW, what’s the fundamental difference between those two Dumble models (Overdrive Special and Steel-Stringer?) Do you know if SRV and/orEJ used/uses their Dumbles for an overdrive sound or a clean sound? :confused: Either way, do you know if either guy stuck any pedals in-front of them? I remember Robben Ford’s tone as being VERY pure (like NO EFFECTS that I can remember anyways?) Just curious? :confused: 😉

I believe the Steel String Singer is a 100W head with no designated Overdrive channel…its just bloody loud! (I could be wrong). I’ve got Eric Johnson’s Total Electric Guitar DVD where his rig is basically 2 Fender Twin Reverbs (for Clean), the Dumble SSS for a “dirty clean” rhythmn tone..which I still feel is the greatest tone I’ve ever heard in my life…never heard anything like it. And he uses a Marshall Plexi for his lead tone. I think he adds a Fuzz to the Dumble SSS for some lead bite at times.
As far as Robben Ford goes….he only uses the Dumble ODS when gigging in the USA. When he tours abroad he apparently uses Fender Twin Reverbs along with the Hermida Zendrive to get the “Dumble-like tone”…..hence the Zendrive having the reputation as the Dumble ODS clone.
I do know that SRV would mostly use an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer infront of his Fender Twins, Dumble SSS and ?Bassman for his solo tones…..
I could be wrong on a few of these things…would require more internet research.
p.s-now I know why I suck on the guitar…..If only I’d practice instead of this nonsense!Eric Johnson is a Dumble user but he uses the Steel String Singer (so did SRV). I think the guys who use the Overdrive Special are Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, Carlos Santana and Sonny Landreth.
Hey guys,
I just got my Zendrive yesterday and tried it out today. It is just awesome! I got some amazing tones out if it when mixing it with the Drive channel of my Hughes&Kettner Edition Blue 30DFX. Very “tubey”, and awesome “breakup/crunch” tones in an instant….the cool part is the blue LED light which matches the blue backlighting of my Hughes&Kettner…hehehe!!
I think this pedal is perfect for Blues, Classic Rock and Jazz/Rock Fusion
