Members DonaldDemon Posted June 25, 2007 Members Share Posted June 25, 2007 Anyone else here play in a 3 piece band? Show some love for the "power trio" if you do. Post some rig shots and a myspace site if you have them. I'm always curious as to what people are playing in a three piece to get their sound. I have played in a 3 piece for almost the whole time I have played guitar (~13 years) and I don't think I could do it any other way. I have jammed/sat in with bands that have another guitarist and I can see it's advantages but it just doesn't feel right to me. Maybe it's because I'm used to being the only guitarist or maybe its because I like doing things my way! It seems that a lot of people like seeing power trios (especially older) because we constantly get praised for sticking to the classic formula. After a night of seeing 2-guitarist bands and hearing a wall of distortion I think sometimes the soundman and promoters are happy to see a 3 piece too. Here is what I typically play, Les Paul-->pedalboard--->Splawn Pro Mod-->Bogner 4x12 w/ V30's. We are a hard rock/progressive band (link in sig): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eye_Of_The_Liger Posted June 25, 2007 Members Share Posted June 25, 2007 It can be tough being a guitar player in a power trio. No other guitarist to hide behind when you screw up. I like the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the challenge. Yep, but it makes you a better player. There are pros and cons to it but I like not having to compete for volume/eq and the freedom to play what you want.

Of course the summer is always more active. Is that a Jaguar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you know my vote. I see you have mostly non-boutique pedals. Beware of this place, it will clean you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, I'd definitely say so if I could afford them lol. OR if I could muster the strength to fork out 200 bucks for a distortion pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR if I could muster the strength to fork out 200 bucks for a distortion pedal. Yeah, I'm not all crazy about having boutique stuff. If it gets the sound I want then I'm good. I have trouble forking out $200 for a pedal too. The POG was the only one I did because it sounded so damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RyanDC Posted June 25, 2007 Members Share Posted June 25, 2007 Nice rig I too have a super fuzz got it last week and I really dig it so far. I just ordered a bad monkey, dano chicken salad, and a deluxe electric mistress. The band I'm trying to assemble shall play psychedellic fuzz rock a mixture of zeppelin, cream, and pink floyd. With influences from newer bands like Dead Meadow and Wolfmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodluck with your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
