Topic: Wich amp on these demostrations from Joe's playing?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9rjpyLR … re=related

I like the sound a lot and i gues they didn't had his whole gigsetup there for this so i gues one amp.

A marshall 50w plexi or so? DSL series, vintage modern? who knows?

Thanks everybody.

Re: Wich amp on these demostrations from Joe's playing?

I'll lend a helping (or perhaps misleading) hand my man!  Sounds small, low wattage...my best guess would be a small Marshall combo.  He used a 1974x I believe for the demonstrations in a guitar magazine.  Maybe a cranked Fender Princeton?  He has said that the Princetons are his favorite Fender amps and claims to use a vintage one at home for practice.  So either a small Marshall or Fender combo + $6000 Les Paul + Jesus Fingers = Joe's tone on that clip!  Good luck man!

'67 and '74 Fender Twin Reverbs, '74 Marshall 1987 lead mkII, Metro Superlead 100. Pedals from TC Electronic, Ibanez, Dunlop, BK Butler, Electro-Harmonix, Fulltone, Maestro/Gibson, Loopmaster switching, VoodooLab, Boss. Gibson and Fender guitars, Dimarzio pickups.

Thanks stratpaulguy86.

I hope your right on the 1974x thing here, there's also some delay or reverb on the clips?

I hoped JB would give me a clew on this one because this is the sound i'm looking for.

Not to much overdrive and tight and still shimmers thrue.

Thanks

That's the amp I recommended to Eva Darling.  I like 'em.  I mean for what they are...right smart.  If you add the xtra cab to the half stack...sweeeet.
