Re: School of Rock amp tone
It seems to me that the movie was based around pretty traditional gear setups. I know that doesn't help much, but just guessing... I'd say a Gibson SG through a vintage Marshall... maybe a JCM.Originally posted by kevlar3000I learned a long time ago that the only thing that mattered regarding tone was what my ears thought.Originally posted by ZerberusBetter is often the enemy of goodOriginally posted by ginormousCovers feed the body, originals feed the soul.

I love that movie, and yeah if i had to take an educated guess (on my little education in this area ) on the gear used id just say traditional 80's stuff like a hotrodded JCM800, vintage 30 quadbox, and a solidbody mahogany gibson like the explorer he was holding.
And if you want to get down to pickups id say a JB at a bit of a stereotypical 80s guess

Jack Black uses an SG, that kid he trains plays an Explorer, so you're both right.Originally posted by kevlar3000I learned a long time ago that the only thing that mattered regarding tone was what my ears thought.Originally posted by ZerberusBetter is often the enemy of goodOriginally posted by ginormousCovers feed the body, originals feed the soul.

Re: School of Rock amp tone
Keep in mind that whatever is actually onscreen doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what was recorded on the soundtrack (they sync that sh!t up in post production).
That said, it definitely sounds like an SG (or similar Gibson with humbucker) through a cranked pre-JCM (cleaner) Marshall.
And the SG in the movie if I'm not mistaken was not a 61 re-issue, but a genuine '68 with the vibrola removed (you can see the holes where the old bridge was).
Peace!
