Sorry guy's don't normally post stuff like this but some great playing!!
Gary Morse Brooks & Dunn on the Left playing one of my little 22 watt HRM style OD heads @ NAMM.... He doesn't use the OD.. Cranks the clean channel/ sometimes uses boost and let's it fly..OK you can kick me off the board now...

Very cool overhand style slide playing. Amp sounds great.

I recently had a guy at an open jam crank up the clean channel of one of my OD style amps, he got a really great Feddy King like tone from his ES-339.

Thanks.. Yeah got the 6v thing going on'..I think the speaker is a 12 Canis Major.. Alnico w/ Hemp cone.. Gary raves about it.. I have not heard one live yet but am hearing nothing but good things about them... Tony King & Lou got the first 2 off the line sounds good though.. MUCHO!! Mids

Tomo is a very talented guy.

I love these clips. Hearing the work is much better than seeing the guts. I can't view it at work, but I will when I get home.

Thats pretty cool. Pretty funny as well as my sons and I were standing their watching them play.

My son Travis commented he had never heard Tomo play country.

That is COOL!!!...Wish I could of been there..Everyone I spoke to said it was just sensory overload!! Tomo is pretty DEEP!! Kind of surprised me as well.. He sent me a bunch of his CD's the bulk of it is kind of funk fusion based... Serious chops..He did say he wasn't a big fan of Twin Reverbs.. I am working on a custom Fralin for him.. Extremely nice guy and a JOY!!! to work with...Here is another clip Fujitaland... if anyone's interested.. More along Tomo's Vibe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh81pl1toIU

That sounded great. That slide work sounded real sweet thru your amp.

[talbany]

Scarab...Thanks for the kudos!! here is a pic.. I would show the inside although it's mostly PCB...(Had to go there w/the small chassis 12X8X2...)
Topology is basicialy Skyline EQ... Standard boost.. w/HRM OD..2 6L's or 2 6v's Gary's was 2 6v's...

I really pay attention to all slide players sound and tone because I'm in the slidin'zone exclusively. My rig is a 76 LP with T-top pickups and a 72 SFTR, MV without the pushpull boost. I like my tone but it's not quite there. The amp has no mods in it and I have been wanting to experiment on it or build my own. I have been looking at 5e3 kits as a first try at it. Got any thoughts?

[talbany]

For slide playing nothing wrong with a 5E3...2 6V's cathode bias when pushed gives you that sweet singing boxy tone...Just know it's not going to hold a candle to your Twin as far as volume and headroom.. If you get a good speaker it should keep up with a drummer in a small restaurant type club...
I had a friend who played slide, he built 2 of them... Spread them out on stage w/stereo reverb.... Slamminn!!!
If you want a D Style amp in my opinion I highly recommend a Non HRM..
I recently built one for Zac Brown and his guitar player Coy Bowles... Both play slide and love em...

Tony, thanks for you thoughts and input. I will check into the D-style amps kits.

If an HRM is good enough for Sonny Landreth's slide then it's good enough for me.

[talbany]

LOL!!!.. I knew someone was going to throw Sonny out there...Here is my take on that...Sonny's a freak of nature.. For someone to play slide like he does with that much gain and the crunch the HRM delivers and still be that articulate.. Amazing!!!... Yeah nothing wrong with the HRM for slide.. Be aware you start playing slide with all that gain and crunch like Sonny and not control it can sound real bad real quick.. For someone who has never played through a D style amp my advice would be start out with the Non HRM first...Get a good feel of the topology then graduate to the HRM if you want to enter Sonnyland later .. Hell you can always add the HRM stack ..That would be my advice..

Been there done that.
Yeah, Sonny will always sound good through whatever he plays.

Actually my personal preference for slide setup over the HRM when playing a few of Sonny's tunes, at a gig, is the #124 ckt, in 50 or 100W (preferred) mode, through a thiele cab loaded w/ an EVM 12S, using a LP with P90s using the bridge PU. It does the Sonny thing, and find the #124 more versatile when switching from a LP to a strat. (less adjustment).
