Satch Boogie on a LP

[shoeless]

This popped up for me today. More proof that the masters sound like themselves regardless of the instrument.

 

[MonkeyZero]

To be fair, Satch is so processed by now there's likely not an amp or pedal in line anywhere and no matter what he plugged in it would sound like him.

 

[Monson]

To me, playing that type of music on a guitar like that is like butt-sodomizing the Aphrodite of Knidos with a jackhammer.

Reminds me of this video of Satch playing on a fan's Ibanez Strat copy through a Pignose amp.

Well, this proves that I find his music to be boring wankshaft no matter what gear he uses.

any guitar through a high gain amp and the same cab is gonna sound similar.

Yes... re-reading the description... it's a Peavey Backstage 30. Still shows that Joe's tone is in his fingers, not in his gear.

I've been to many demos and clinics that different artists have done at music stores.... George Lynch, Paul Gilbert, Vivian Campbell, among others.... and it was always pretty evident when they would plug into some of the same shit at the store that I'd recently heard others sound like ass through.... and these guys would just make it wail.

And even when it comes to some of the one-off hand made instruments..... like I saw Frank Gambale playing with Chick Corea when I was in college, and I hung out at the end of the gig to ask him a couple questions. He ended up handing me his (then prototype) of his signature saber Ibanez. It was really really thin at the edges but got thicker in the middle, like an airplane wing, and the one thing that I remember his had that the production model did not... the pickup bezels were recessed into the face of the instrument. It was like the strings came down the neck and then juuuust cleared the pickups and the face of the instrument. Of course the tremolo was recessed as well, but I don't think it was a cavern underneath the trem. Just enough room for him to go up and down a whole tone or so. Really interesting guitar, and was so crazy to be holding and strumming the same (sweaty) guitar that he had just been ripping on for the past hour and a half.

He’s also running through an RP200.

This is unfair and disrespectful to sex dungeons.

 

[Monson]

I would like to apologize to all owners and users of sex dungeons, and construction workers. I was wrong in thinking the end justifies the means, and I immaturely applied a metaphor that could be perceived as hurtful and bigoted against these communities.

Technique is in the fingers, tone is in the gear

Interesting. I tend to agree with that. HOWEVER -- I tested that theory a few weeks ago by bringing a vintage spec Tele as a backup to a gig. Sounded fantastic, but did not get the job done and absolutely couldn't use it for some songs. So, I think there are limits to that theory.
