Kay Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 This has probably been asked a billion times but does anyone know what kind of amps and settings Tom was using during BCR? I really like the guitar sound on that record specifically and I will be needing to buy a new amp in the near future, and I'd like to be able to achieve something similar (not the same) for a project I'm working on. I can't match it because I have a telecaster and I'm not buying a new guitar, plus obviously I don't have Jerry Finn as a producer, I'm just curious about what I can do to get close to that general sound on a budget.

It ain't BCR a sound but I use Telecasters with a Rockerverb 100 mk2 stack. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What pickups do you have in the tele? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCR was his signature strats and Gibson ES-335 with the Triple Rectifier. He also used delay, flanger, and a few other effects IIRC. Hopefully this gives you a better idea. The Marshall was Davids amp. As far as that tone on a budget, there are some really good tube combos available (the Marshall DSL40C is very good). Regarding settings, just have an equal balance and have enough gain to saturate the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom18222 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think he recorded it on a vox ac30 but i could be mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
