Title: Tim\'s rig??
Post by: jking on November 01, 2011, 04:23:42 pm

i\'m listening to the freakout and his tone sounds great. much fatter than in years past. is this just me or does he have fairly new toys? what is his (your) rig currently? what pedals, what amp, etc...


thanks!

Who cares when there are no Breakfast songs emanating from the rig?

I have noticed a slight change in (average) tone this year from say a couple years ago.

Sounds like the midtones are scooped out a little more. Tim used to have a lot of midtone and now it sounds "fuller" (scooped)

and I\'m glad he ditched the SG those guitars suck and that\'s the reason almost nobody plays them... but I do wish he still had his old Telecaster around and played that once in a while for that "classic PB tone"

Sorry, the SG is what gave the classic PB sound its tone...  It was the guitar of choice until it was stolen in \'01...

yeah and then Tim played a Tele almost every show in 2002 and 2003

I remember some early shows with an SG not sure if it was the one that got stolen or probably one he had after that

anyway Eschers Etchings on a Telecaster = what I think of as the classic PB tone

Stratocaster is the most versatile guitar and sounds terrific so I thought it was great when Tim switched to that most of the time

Personal opinion...  Classic PB to me was 99-02...  Not long after that PB became TB...  It\'s symatecs, but that\'s the way I see it...

I love the SG

Post by: jking on November 02, 2011, 10:50:51 am

i\'ve always been a strat guy, but the sg definitely has it\'s place. i just like the scream of the strat over the growl of the sg.

and i\'m in the midst of severe gear acquisition syndrome right now and am looking for other ideas to improve my tone based on the rigs of others.

for a while (04-05) he had too much quack in his tone. don\'t know if it was too many mids with too much fast wah use or what, but it was occassionally distracting to me. lately though, he\'s sounded much fuller and richer. it sounds like a much more mature tone, if that makes any sense...

and tim is still making music with the rig, just not breakfast music.

^ he went through a serious envelope filter phase (quack sound)

Post by: jking on November 02, 2011, 11:01:42 am

that\'s probably it, though it seemed really fast for an envelope filter. probably a combo of filtr and wah... actually, now that i think about it, that would make perfect sense... thanks!

Pete Townshend used Strats from 1964-1968, and 1989 -present.

Early Years -  Emile Grimshaw SS De Luxe and 6-string and 12-string Rickenbacker semi-hollow electric
Late 60\'s - SG
70\'s - Les Paul & Gretch
80\'s - Strat

The Who, to me, will always be Tommy and he was the SG exclusively in the studio and live during that time...

Yeah. Just saying he wasn\'t an SG-only player.

Even Frank Zappa played a shit ton of different guitars

It\'s pretty much a stupid argument anyway ... which is why we\'re having it here on .info ... I could really care less what guitar Tim plays because whatever guitar he\'s gonna be awesome playing it. I have a few nice guitars but my best one is my custom Strat (see avatar) so I\'m biased. I\'ve played SGs and didn\'t enjoy playing them at all.
