Re: Your gear (all of it) does NOT matter !
The thing is... He's right. I find a way to dial in my sound with anything I play through. Sure, you can get different textures with different gear, but it's amazing how much of it comes down to how you dial in the gear.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: Your gear (all of it) does NOT matter !
“My take on gear is that it does not matter — at all — ever — in any circumstance... If we had had this gear that we sound bad on today, we would have written different songs that sound great on this gear.’”
Lets see how exactly the same he sounds without his whammy pedal, his distortion turned off and playing through a hardtail guitar.
If he can do that, then I will buy his statement about gear not making a difference in any circumstance, that he seemingly unwittingly defeated himself.Last edited by Falloffthebonetone; 09-07-2016, 10:51 AM.

Re: Your gear (all of it) does NOT matter !
I'm not taking him literally. He's presenting a paradox by essentially stating that gear matters, but gear doesn't matter.
My interpretation of what he's saying is that if I had a Strat and a Deluxe, I would write music that sounded good on a Strat and Deluxe... and if I had a Les Paul and Marshall, I would write music that sounded good on a Les Paul and Marshall.
Gear matters.... but it doesn't matter.|| Guitar | Wah | Vibe | Amp ||

He said one box is as good as any so if his got stolen he would have no problem...
Gear matters but way less than most people think.Last edited by backporchpicker; 09-07-2016, 02:58 PM.
