Re: Jimmy's tone on TSRTS

[Oner Ozaylak <oner.ozaylak@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi Anton,

welcome to the fbo. jimmy's live rig very simple. one les paul and a
100 watt marshall(s) modified to produce 200 watts with a compresor, a
fuzz/distortion and a vox wah between. there are exact brands and
models info on web if you search. for the most part he keeps the amp's
volume fixed and adjusts the loudness/overdrive with guitar's volume
pot. the only trick part is (as nech mentioned) the phase inverter and
coil splitter switches which i believe affect the tone dramatically.

if i could afford, i'd get a les paul or epiphone and rewire it like
jimmy's. if one can solder and use a screwdriwer it's not that
difficult. if you cannot find the schematic let me know.  good luck.
