On Honkin' on a Bobo? I'm watching an A&E documentary on the boys now, and I was just listening to the guitars... And they sound GREAT! I think that this may be within the ballpark of the tone im looking for... I can only see that they are using Strats and thats it...

Could someone tell me what amps, pedals, and pickups the guys are using right now for Honkin' on the Bobo (studio and live)? I'd really like to kno...

Thanks in advance!
 
Re: Aerosmith--equipment setup???

just to be clear, im not lookin to get their tone. I just think that the particular tone they have now is within the ballpark of what im looking, for, so finding out what they are using (Whiteford and Perry)...

So no "find your on tone" lectures, cuz that is what I want to do...

I just had to laugh at the title of this thread cos aerosmith has like a billion tones and joe is a gear whore. But after actually reading what you wanted to do my laugh wasnt really valid :(

Joe perry said for the Honkin' on Bobo CD, it was recorded in his basement studio...and the 2 guitars were plugged into old Fender Champs...that's it. Same amp used by Clapton and Joe Walsh on a few of their 'records'....I'm gonna check that A&E show in about an hour.

I want the real Aerosmith sound as well (I'll include Bobo in the real stuff because it is real close). That's why I own 10 guitars, 3 amps and I am still not even close to done yet!

The new GP has a pretty detailed layout of the gear used to record HOB. Can't believe it is but a small sidenote on the cover.

Whitford -
Fender Super Champ

G&L ASAT Special
'53 Goldtop
'66 Strat
'53 ES-295
Floyd Rose Redmond

Perry -
Blackface and Tweed Champs
Epiphone Pacemaker Combo
Some of his Supro collection

Klon Centaur
EH Memory Man
Chicago Iron Octavian
Digitech Whammy Pedal
Cesar Diaz Reverb Tank

ES-135
ES-345
'60 Les Paul
Billy - his Lucille
'66 Epi Casino

Small amps, big sounds.
