OMG! That sounds horrible!

Give me his Tele tones any day! :7:

That, or his P90 sounds from either a Les Paul Jr or an Epiphone Casino

 

[Chris Pile]

It does NOT sound horrible.

 

[eclecticsynergy]

Kind of a hollow sound to it. Different from Tele or P90 tone for sure, but I like it.

 

[beaubrummels]

I like it. Sounds like a phone recording, so I don't think that audio did it justice to being in the room with it.

 

[GuitarDoc]

Sounds like it's being played through a 5 watt solid state beginners amp with a tin can for a speaker.

It could ONLY be considered to sound "good" if you're looking for a very specific low fi effect.

 

[ErikH]

Considering that was recorded backstage before a show, it's gonna be a small cheap amp to just hear something. Can't expect it to sound like his stage rig. Get real, folks.

 

[jeremy]

it sounds fine. you can see the dinky little amp he is using in the background

 

[JMP/HBE]

Annoying sorry.

 

[JOLLY]

It sounds like Keith Richards to me. I hope he can afford that guitar.

 

[Chris Pile]

To my ear, it sounds a bit like a B3 with a Leslie on fast when he holds the chords for a second or two. He has both pickups on, and is strumming in the middle of string length.

That's just a head, not a combo.

 

[jeremy]

is it? i dont see a cab anywhere

 

[GuitarDoc]

I don't either, must be outside of the pic. But if that's a combo/practice amp it can't have a spkr bigger than 4", plus it has too many controls for a small beginner amp.

 

[Securb]

The amp looks like something along the lines of a Positive Grid Spark. Don't see the logo on it but I think it is something in that style or class.

 

[GuitarDoc]

I think that's it. Like I said 4" spkrs > tinny sound.

 

[Chris Pile]

It's not tinny.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

Sounds like a phone recording.

 

[GuitarDoc]

It's not tinny.

Your opinion.
