Joe Bonamassa - "You and Me"

[BluesGuyJ]

So I just picked up this album and the tone really seems to differ from Joes other records like Blues Deluxe, A New Day and So its like that.

Does anyone know what Joe used on this album? I am more interested in the amps but guitars and pedals as well of course.

I found 2 youtube videos of Joe going over his amps which were primarily Marshall Jubilees and Budda Superdrives and some different overdrive pedals, but this tone sounds different from those 2 videos.

Help me out!

Re: Joe Bonamassa - "You and Me"

you can probably find some gear info on his site ... in any case, I think he's pretty open about what he uses

it seems like lately he's using his LP more, through Marshalls (cranked), and maybe a Fuchs and/ or Two Rock
I've read that the Buddas were an endorsement, and he's not really using them in concert much, if at all.

great young player

i ran FOH for him a few times around '04-05... He was using the budda's & 50 watt Jubilee's in an A/B and the "C" was some kinda "dumblesque" thing that I can't remember the name of... one of the $5-6k ones...

The budda / jubilee thing is kinda like a L/R setup... switches between lotsa krap on a H-U-G-E pedalboard... delays & vibes & whanot... Anytime you hear reverb it's the "bumble" head being added...

At least that's how I remember it anyway.

Travels with lotz 'o gee-tars too... like 2 dozen. I thought it was kinda interesting watching him play... if he popped a string that guitar would go away & wouldn't be touched for the rest of the show...

Snagged from rotation.

superstitution..?

Great player... all around good-egg too.

He has a deal with Gigliotti Guitars. Every time I've seen him he's been using Buddas/Jubilees, except for the first time I saw him (in '02 I think) when he was using Fender Bandmasters, a Jubilee and a Line6 Vetta. If I remember right though, I think I might have seen a Marshall Bluesbreaker combo on his "Live at Rockpalast" DVD. I can check on that later.
