Members Texas Noise Factory Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 I love that tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Felix959 Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't Fogerty's tone in Creedence always come from a solid-state Kustom amp? I like that tone, too. Ironic that I can't quite achieve it with a tube amp and a tube-powered distortion pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kap'n Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm pretty sure it's the built-in "Harmonic Clipper" in the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members erksin Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 And kustom amps? The 'Harmonic Clipper' was the built-in fuzz circuit on the big Kustoms. I forget what particular model he used but it was like a 200 watter. He still gigs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members goodhonk Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 i dont' know what it is about fogerty doing ccr's stuff, but it always sounds off to me. i think it's the drums, especially the fills. this one sounds a little better than most i've heard.

I'd still love to find one. I could be wrong though. I'm just some guy with a vague memory of something i might have read on the internet somewhere, so that doesn't mean much.

IIRC, he used a Kustom K-200. I know he's used other amps too, but he's strongly associated with the Kustom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goodhonk Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hey jimi, how are the Ludwig clones coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pinkjimiphoton Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 i'm not cloning them things. never intended to. that's strictly diy stuff for diy people. me and one of the guys that reverse engineered it were gonna offer them built, but people (here in particular) freaked out over the price and were such dicks about it, i withdrew the offer. there's been a couple built for people, and for the price i felt they were a good deal... a lot less than a ludwig in decent shape, and with support and warranty. but... oh well. i didn't care, as i wasn't making anything off it. i was just glad to be able to make it happen, and restore my old one. i have a couple sets of boards but never really got around to doing it up yet. i got an original, so a clone, tho cool, really isn't all that necessary to me. peace!
