Amp for Gary Moore Tone?

Re: Amp for Gary Moore Tone?

I remember seeing him in a full page guitar mag ad, posing with a Marshall 1974X combo, and his then sig Les Paul.

My Red Fender Prosonic head and the 99 WM-4 Washburn with a 59 neck Custom Custom bridge and no effects comes pury darned close. Now if I could just PLAY that well :banghead:

Gary Moore is a bit of a gear whore really.
Not so much on pedals, but you can bet he's tried pretty much every type of amp out there, and used quite a few as well.
Lets face it, he was one of the few people who ever owned a synthaxe.
Oddly, he always sounds like Gary Moore

So, a Les Paul. Into a 1959SLP reissue with an old Guv'nor would do the trick nicely?

There were also Strats, Super Strats, Hamers... there's a lot of info about his gear on Wikipedia and other forums/websites. He also used other Marshalls and probably a few other brands as well.

I think that he is more of a Tube Screamer guy than anything else but I don't think that the pedal choice is the most important thing here. I'd stick to the Boss, Marshall and Ibanez lines (or Maxon if you want something a little more expensive).


And don't forget the delay.


If I were to do it - a Les Paul and a Marshall, two dirt boxes (a smoother TS and a dirtier distortion box) and a delay pedal.

I know he was using a DSL JCM 2000 on the "Live At Monsters of Rock" DVD that was filmed in 2003, and the tone was absolutely incredible.

Bloody Great Tone . . . i have that DVD !
