QUOTE (redsoxfan92490) Can anyone tell me how to get the SRV sound? I have a 40 watt Peavy, i dont know the rest of the classification. IT has 7 sounds, Tremelo, Flanger, Phaser, Chorus, Octaver, Funk Wah, Rotary Speaker. Also on distortion i can change between, vintage, modern, and high gain. THe sound im looking for is the semi distorted, kind of bluesy twangey, sound of his songs like little wing, cold shot, texas flood, pride and joy, etc. I know there is no way that i will be able to match his sound with my equiptment but anything semi close will be just fine. Help me ! For starters, all the songs you mentioned above Stevie played clean. He tunes to E flat and plays on 13 through 58 gauge strings. He will go to 12's if his hands/fingers are sore ocasionally. He used 2 Ibanez TS808 original pedals from early 1980. One as a clean boost, the other as a higher tube gain in songs such as Voodoo Chile and 3rd Stone from the Sun. Point to point wiring on the Fender combo's in the Blackface era (64 to 67) are the most sought after amps for that tone you are looking for. Also, remember that stomp box pedals are tone robbers, so the more you get expect the natural tube drive to dissipate. Stevie played with (2) 1964 Fender Vibroverbs each having the coveted 15" JBL D130F and (2) 65 Super Reverbs. A few years later the D130F was changed to a 15" JBL K130F, then to an Electrovoice. There were only 600 of the 64 Vibroverbs made, and it was made only one year so good luck finding one. Be willing to fork out 3000.00 to 5000.00 bucks each though. Stevie in his early years played with a 19 gauge 1st string up to 62 gauge when he first bought his Number One strat, and still doing 2 full step bends w/ vibrato. Lot of his tone was created by his hands as he would play root notes with his thumb wrapped aroung the neck. The style... well we call it the old "Pop and Dig" where the 1st and 2nd strings were played without a pick, but by pulling the string away from the neck and then popping them with his middle and first fingers. Plus he played with his 1.5mm pick backwards always. Anyways, I do play out of a rig pretty much the same as I play Texas blues and always will.
