What amp is Larry playing?
Video from the "Last Nite" gig.  (There are a few of these on YouTube, all excellent)

Look around 0:27-0:30. Maybe it's just a speaker cab, but it looks tweed-ish. Is that what I'm seeing?

Wife: How many amps do you need?
Me: Just one more...

He used to use a tweed Deluxe with Steely Dan.

That's a dumble 2x12 cab in tan with oxblood grille loaded with 2 EVM 12L's,  The amp in that era I believe is a high plate classic with a .05 coupler on v1B,  He was also using a Dumbleator in those days and an Audioarts 4100 Parametric EQ in the loop along with a roland echo, an mxr delay, and a rocktron Hush unit.

Re: What amp is Larry playing?
I thought it had that Dumble tone, but I didn't want to embarrass my self and say it was a D amp.

Re: What amp is Larry playing?
Yeah, that was why I asked.  It sure sounds like a Dumble, and certainly RESPONDS like a Dumble.  I just didn't SEE like I expected to see it.

Re: What amp is Larry playing?
Brandon,  do you think he has the boost on in that clip?  It sounds kinda like it to me but I guess it could be those EMG pups too.

His Black amp primarily, and the 1x12 cab with an EV 12L

Forgive me, Funk, but I'm out of the loop. Any hints on what's inside the black amp?

Re: What amp is Larry playing?
It's a Ripper,  so kind of similar to a Bluesmaster with a different Overdrive section- VERY expressive, can go from clean to scream with pick attack-

Re: What amp is Larry playing?
Got another random Larry question  
 
What amp is he using on Renegade Gentleman? I love the tone on that.

It's always something. I'd love to hear more about this circuit, if anybody has info.Funkalicousgroove wrote:It's a Ripper, so kind of similar to a Bluesmaster with a different Overdrive section- VERY expressive, can go from clean to scream with pick attack-

My guess-- the lead circuit is behind a larger input resistor, so that clean is more possible with the lead master turned up. Not usually a prob getting distortion. My drive is usually on 3 or 4.greiswig wrote:It's always something.

My other guess is that it has a form of the bassman/marshall direct coupled stage as the lead circuit. I've modded amps with this config and they've come out great. The only question is- is the output off the cathode, or a plate configuration?
