Steel String Singer video?

[ic-racer]

I came across this video/interview of SRV. During the interview he plays his guitar and there are 2 amps stacked behind him; a Marshall and what looks like a silver-face SSS.

It does not sound like a Marshall, so perhaps this is an example of SRV playing through a SSS.

I don't know what amp he was using, but that's a really cool interview. Watching him play solo like that is amazing. Thx for posting.

Sounds like the SSS, I hear some verb on the guitar. Of course that could have been added later.

Even cooler is the Dumble 4x12 cab. Think SRV is the only one I have every seen use one.

A friend of mine has one of those Dumble 4x12 cabs, it's HUGE and HEAVY!

[glasman]

But it LOOKS SO COOL...

do you want the dims? I can get it at some point-

Naw, I have two rear ported 4 x 12 slant cabs in my garage that sound excellent. And I sure as hell don;t want to build any more of them. The most expensive part of building those cabinets was the 7/8" roundover bit for my router, about $130.00.

You won't catch me lugging one of thoses bastages. Them corksuckers are too farkin heavy, especally with the 1x12 Thiele sounding so huge.

Just found these while looking for something else. Don't know if they have been posted before or not.

I give my right arm to have a right hand like that...no wait.

He's got one of the most supple right wrists I've ever seen. It's like it's just a huge rubber band or something.

talking about thiele cabs, has anyone tried the cabs from Hermida sound? the price is incredible. The 1x12 is in my list but what about those 2x12?
Anyone?

Dogears evaluated one and posted a clip or two on this forum a while back. Not sure where it is now, try a search. I really like the Thiele cab concept myself!

Steel String Singer 150 Watt and Dumble 4x12 together with a Vibroverb to drive the Leslie was SRVs usual live set-up in the middle eigthies.

A good example of the sound and (still more important) a lot of exciting music you find on the "Live at Montreux" double DVD (DVD #2) recorded in 1985.

But concerning the SSS used by SRV always remeber, that the preamps of SRVs SSS are rather different from a "normal" SSS. Stevie's SSS are more similar to a Dumbleland with reverb, set up for maximum headroom.

A godd example of the sound of a "normal" SSS you find on Larry Carltons "Renegade Gentleman" All the Nashville tracks have been recorded with his SSS.

Lary sold his SSS long ago back to Dumble, he used it for that one album/tour and didn't like it.

SSS amps are already set up for max headroom, they DO NOT DISTORT at any volume level. WHat is different about SRV's amp is the setup of the Hi-Lo filters, and the removal of some of the positive feedback loops within the amp.
