Messin' with the Tommy Bolin setup

Re: Messin' with the Tommy Bolin setup

Bolin doubled many of his parts on CTTB- his basic tone is pretty thin. But you certainly need an Echoplex and a phaser. Live it was a little thicker, but any live Bolin with DP generally was a bad performance. Listen to 'This Time Around'. Bolin was pretty far gone at this point, and the rest of the band did their best to cover for him.

Cool stuff and sweet old school tones....
The tonesuck is mostly related to the mismatching impedances(prolly)
Really loved that last clip!

Great sounds, but i thought you were all about 2w amps?

I am, but I usually do not bring my amps to rehearsal. It's a chance to try out other amps.

I would love to; one day, perhaps.

That's my guess, too.
