He never mentioned the MXR Distortion+ in those old interviews.😂
I go back to 1970/ 1971 with guitar playing and gear. I was well aware of gear when Van Halen came out in78.
By that time, I had seen zillions of club bands with Marshalls, and my guess from watching those guys, was that Eddie was...
The Snorkler is the one I think about the most. I’ve been listening to some of the Alice In Chains albums and some of the YouTube examples. Really good
The obvious thing would be the SL 67 on the Suhr cab, but I agree with Suhr, who prefers the amp with Greenbacks, so it currently sits on a Marshall 4 x 12 with Greenbacks.
And I don’t wanna spend $3000 either certainly not more.
There are some lower priced heads, like that Black Star Doug Aldrich looks cool for $1500 bucks, but I don’t know about the reliability of amplifiers in that price range $1500 to $2000.
Whatever head it is it’s gotta sound great through...
Always remember, the other guitarists that played Eddie’s gear back in the day, did not sound like Eddie. They reported they still sounded like themselves.
At some point, you just have to let it go.
Saw Pat three or four times in concert.
The best being at My Father‘s Place New York in January 1978. It was Tommy Aldridge’s first show with the band, and it was being simulcast by WLIR FM.
Saw him open for Rainbow too, around 1981.
Also a huge fan of April Lawton, who goes way back to the late 60s, early 70s, and was in Ramatam with Mitch Mitchell, drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
People who saw them in concert, up close and personal, swore she was a woman, and there were always rumors around she was a man. Turns...
Jesus Christ, you guys are like little girls. Yes of course. She’s a great guitar player.
I’m a little jaded, though, my late friend Ronni Crooks was the first Vigier female endorser, and believe me, she played circles all these chicks that are coming out now. Blew them away in looks as well.
