SRV strat-tone

How can I get SRV tone on "rivera paradise" in a budget?

I´ve read that SRV used a strat with a maple board and a lighter set of strings in this song, in addition to his usual fender+marshall rig.

Please suggest some strat+amp combo to get that TONE.
 
Re: SRV strat-tone

there is no budget way to get SRV tone

sorry

but if you wanna get reasonably close you could get that new 'doctored' vibroverb

but that's not exactly a budget amp, either
 
Re: SRV strat-tone

For a a good budget amp that I get a very good srv tone from is a 30W Peavey Delta blues amp with the 15" speaker. This is the most underrated amp probably out there even though it sounds better than a lot of amps 3 & 4 times the price. I think people just can't rap their heads around the fact that a amp this cheap sounds this good. The Delta has one of the highest ratings period on Harmony Central. SRV did use a maple fret borad neck for certain songs. But more than anything it was the way SRV played. It was in his fingers and the force & emotion he played with.
