Tailoring Gear to Situations.

Re: Tailoring Gear to Situations.

Yeah, most cover band guitarists I've seen are either using a pre/power rack setup or a modeling amp. It's the only way to truly capture all the sounds properly.

I'm going the opposite direction. The Elvis impersonator I met is already established with management, but he just needs a small band, rather than backing tracks. Realistically, all I'll be doing is playing a clean tone all the time, and sometimes an acoustic. Scotty Moore was more Gibson and James Burton was more Tele, so I'll have those 2 bases covered.

Sounds like a good prospect you have there

I was thinking of the JMP1 as it's the only pre-amp I've ever played that I liked the tone of (I haven't played alot of them to be fair, but that's the 1 I liked of the 1s I've tried).

I've also not heard a sound from a modelling amp live that I've liked all that much, so that's why the JMP1 is standing out to me at this moment in time

i bet you wish you still had the Pro Concert Reverb...!?

Yeah, I really wish I had back my 2 favorite Fender amps I had a couple years ago...the 2001 Concert Reverb and Bassman LTD.

But the amps I really want back are the Blues Pearl boutique Fender clones I used in the 90's. I had a cost deal endorsement with them, so I had a Shreadhead, Bluesmaster, Texas Tornado, and Brittone 50.....It was like having a Dumble head, Bassman head, Deluxe with 3 knob reverb, and a 68 Plexi 50W.

I had to sell all those to get the Bogner and Matchless. I sure wish I could have kept the Shreadhead and Texas Tornado.
