Tones that rock your boat.

[mlp-mx6]

I recently heard the live album by Johnny A. Incredibly great tones.

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking", Mick Taylor with the Rolling Stones

Taylor's tone on the solo defines "wood" tone for me.

+1. That truly rocks. The rhythm ain't too shabby either.

This one has always mystified me. The tone is clean and doesn't sound like a Marshall to me. Maybe a Twin?

The rhythm is classic Keef open tuning, which always had me struggling to find the voicing on a standard tuned guitar.

For years I was baffled why Mick Taylor left one of the greatest gigs in R&R, but by most accounts there was friction from Keef who was admittedly jealous of Taylor's talent.
Their best stuff came from his short time with the Stones.

You're from Seattle, you should know this stuff !

That was recorded at Sound Center NYC, mid March 1968.
There's no way of knowing what equipment was available in the studio but it falls right in the midst of Jimi''s deal with Sunn which started in Feb 1968.
By April he had switched back to Marshalls.
The Sunn amps were ultralinear and the cabs had 12" JBLs which is a real clean sounding combination.

I love this tone. Who wouldn't?

Best tone yet.

I want to build a jtm45 with kt66's. Anyone know if there might be closer information of this amp ?

Thanks,

I've built a couple of these. The layout is probably not as critical as TW/Dumbles. I used a set of transformers I got from Paul Ruby. I believe they were made by Heybour. I'd probably go with Marstran if I ever built another.

I can dig up my notes when I get home. I know I had to lower the first cathode cap, it was too boomy, even with single coils.

It's definitely an amp to do some tube rolling on. I never found a new production KT66 I liked, but this was back when I think only the Chinese were making them.

Doh! I had assumed this was recorded much later. That makes total sense.

Thanks LeftyStrat

Lets get back to the subject after holidays.

Speaking of the Stones, the sound in the intro riff to Low Down from Bridges to Babylon gets me every time.
There are too many good tones to mention. But for some reason that riff always starts playing in my mind when somebody talks about "great tone".
It's sort of the "essence of tone" to me.
Presumably a tele straight into a tweed twin.

Right now I am loving the tones that Joe Bonamassa is getting with his rig.

Key word "rock". Takes me back to my first real electric guitar amp. P90 Junior, Fuzz Face , Sound City L100. Not Dumble, but hey....
