Members Woodstock1969 Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 [video=youtube;PvpEGjbr3ZM] I suppose the hollow body plays a large part in it...but you think he's running a compressor or an overdrive? A fender amp? A gibson amp? I've always wondered what Eric Gale used for his ridiculous tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Musicscotty Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'd hazard a guess at a Vox AC30? About 40 seconds in the camera pans across and we get a look at what is possibly his amp. What gets me is that he's 44 years old in that video. He looks about 10 years older.....

Members scuzzo Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 sounds like a bit of chorus and a an amount of compession.. but the chorus my be just the way it was recorded.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woodstock1969 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Also how do you master a vibrato like his? It's so incredibly wild yet controlled and restrained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tidal Rhythm Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is it just me, or does that fretboard look really narrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is it just me, or does that fretboard look really narrow? It's does but it's also a BIG guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jtr654 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Looks like Guitar volume pedal & amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh S Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 I played an L-5 the other day at the store, and it just kind of... sounded like that. I mean, I'm not nearly as good a player (though no slouch) but that tone? It was right there. I really dig the Jeff Beck thing he's getting going on with his vibrato - sounds like the same thing Beck does with his trems. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very good at identifying amps by tone alone but that's not the type of tone I'd usually associate with an AC30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
