Members Elliott Damage Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 i find that no matter what i plug into, i allways end up sounding like me. I dont sound like the smashing pumpkins with my mayo. And i dont sound like hendrix with my wah. amen brother. tone comes from your attack and fretting technique more than anything else.

Members Noise... Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I agree that copying an entire rig is senseless. HOWEVER, wanting to get one person's fuzz sound, or another person's delay sound is just hearing an effect you like. I liked the delay that At the Drive-in, The Mars Volta, and Pink Floyd get, so, I looked for a delay that would get some of the more unique delay tones. Did I go out and get a Memory man like all three bands use? No. I found an Ibanez DE7 and liked it, so that's what I went with. Just because you want one band's sound from one specific effect it doesn't mean you're copying them. Basically, you're just using that band's tone on one part as a reference. Just like if you'd hear an unnamed soundclip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's good if people are like "delay, I like that" and buy one, but it's the thing of spending way more money to get the one that some guy uses. I bought a tremolo because I like the way it sounds on country sounds, but I've probably used it more for different kind of things, I've found like 9 different cool things to do with my trem, and those sounds have inspired me to play in different ways.

Members StevieRaveOn68 Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Honestly Clapton used a wah because Hendrix used one.actually it was the other way around, Hendrix heard Clapton using a wah on Tales of Brave Ulysses. first time Jimi used a wah was at the Fifth Dimension Club in Ann Arbor, Michigan 1967. Earl Hooker and Buddy Guy were using a wah way before either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L6Sguy Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 ....he has good tone wiht that head.. but.. not loud enough for gigs.. pair it with a single EVM-12L (or repro/RI), and it'll handle it no prob --- meaning the hearing it across a loud stage. it'll also take yer head off. miking/PA should always be first tactic for filling a big room though. _____________________________________________________________ on the whole rig-copy thing, its one thing i've never really gone through. almost all my gear has been happened upon, rather than searched out for inspired-by-purposes. OTOH, once said gear is assembled, using a song/band/artist as reference point happens occasionally -- 'I need a Keef-sounding phase, but lighter' for this song, or 'something kinda Houses of the Holy solo' for a part. at that point a pedal might get swapped, or not, for something else from the stash.

Members seifukusha Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 i, for one, have never tried to cop a sound (except the autowah sound of will sergeant, and thats easy). I just choose guitars I like, a clean amp, and mix in various pedal, and thats my sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
