| I always find it kind of funny when someone asks... "What did X person use?". Especially when we are talking about a particular legendary guitarist.
Sure, it's fun to know what the preamp or compressor was, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter.... that's not what people want to hear, but it's true.
Think about it.... the distortion pedal (actually any of the pedals) is going to impart WAY more character than ANY preamp.
The mic and guitar amp combo is WAY more important than the compressors... and even then, it's REALLY about the player and technique.
The other thing people NEVER ask about is... WHAT TAPE MACHINE? Nobody wants to talk about the character tape imparted on the great recordings of the 70's. They just want to know what mic/ preamp/ compressor combos. |
