Members CaptHowdy Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 Interested in finding out what gear the Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarists used on Free Bird and that era. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jackpotjewell Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 probably les pauls through marshalls, with no pedals. I'm just guessing, but I'd be willing to put money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SDSMusic Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 I don;t think they were using Marshalls. If I'm not mistaken they were using Peavey stacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CaptHowdy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yeah, I know that too. Les Pauls, Explorer and Strats. I didn't know about the Peavey amps though. But what effects did they use? There are some great stuff on their recordings, especially modulation effects used on rhytm guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terminus Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 They have a very uncomplicated sound, very little effecs, only some modulation here and there. So mostly a les paul, explorer and sg through peavey and marshall amps (I have seen both in different videos of them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 They played Peavey amps on that last tour, but I'm pretty sure that early on, especially, they were using Marshalls and Fenders in the studio. I couldn't swear to it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAtomicJeff Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 I can't find a bigger picture but this album was released in 1976. You'd have to look very close but it shows Peavey amps in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CaptHowdy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 That's great. I have a live dvd to look into as well. But I really like to find out what modulation effects they used. Some great sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members comfortablynumb Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 As far as modulation, there's definitely a phaser on the lead guitar on Tuesday's Gone and I think the slide parts of Freebird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members therhodeo Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 Back in the day it was marshalls in the studio and Peavey's live. Gary said the Marshalls sounded great in the studio but they wouldnt cut with 3 guitarists live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CaptHowdy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 There is a rhythm guitar throughout Free Bird with some kind of phaser. But what kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members therhodeo Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 What was available in 73'?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CaptHowdy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 Probably tons of stuff.... And I wasn't for sure. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 If you're covering The Needle and the Spoon you'll need a wah. Think I used to use a chorus for T for Texas back in the day. Other than that and some short delay/reverb, not much else and oh yeah, the Peaveys...

Members CaptHowdy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 Why do Lynyrd seem to upset people here? They were a great band with some fantasticly well produced guitar parts and songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
