: Hi Gerry.....I don't have a consistent approach
: to guitar sound as I tend to adapt as
: creatively as possible to whatever gear I
: happen to be using at the time. Like you,
: I've tended to be on the lookout for
: horizon-broadening sounds. I can heartily
: recommend the Behringer V-Amp 2 for
: mega-value. Spend some time with that and an
: entire universe of sound is at your command!
: {Check out the Soldano simulation on bank 9,
: especially}. The Line6 Pod 2 is similar,
: though more expensive.
: As to the sounds on the albums thus
: far...most of them have come from a
: combination of Marshall amplification with
: the Roland GT5 processing unit. The pick ups
: are Jackson and the acoustic sounds come from
: a relatively inexpensive Warfield. {Acoustics
: are quirky.....you can pay thousands for a
: "name" and end up with an average
: guitar, but then you can happen across a
: beauty for next to nothing}.
: I find it interesting that you think the
: sound you like is a bit
: "strange"......no harm in that!
: Think how many influential guitarists came on
: the scene with sounds that were considered,
: "outrageous", at the time but
: initiated a whole new approach to guitar
: sound...and so to songwriting. Where would we
: be without Hendrix and Iommi, for example?
: Everyone thought they were insane when they
: started!
: Thanks again for all your support,
: Gerry....it makes a difference!!!
: John.
: PS...cheers Mr McCullim!!...I'll slip your
: fiver to ya later! ;->

: This one's for John Mortimer. I was wondering
: if you could share some of your guitar sound
: secrets with us as I think you have one of
: the most recognisable sounds ever. And not
: just the guitars but the bnad mix as a whole.
: Being in a band myself I have got my own
: sound which I think sounds a bit odd
: sometimes however I like it. I'm always
: looking to try other sounds to broaden what I
: can create song wise which is why I'm asking
: you about yours to see if I could get
: something similar. Although what I find with
: most guitarists, is that their sounds are
: created mainly on what gear they are using.
: Still anything will be useful.
: Much appreciated Gerry.
