Ok here is the TONE HEAD GEAR LIST we have been waiting
for,

A 4 6L6
#2- 1965 Fender "black face" Super Reverb -all

The
Guitars,
1967
all original Fender Telecaster
1983 (MIJ) 50’s Stratocaster reissue don’t let the
"made in Japan" fool you, These early ones
are super cool!
The main #1 Ax is a,-Custom built Mahogany chambered
body Telecaster by, Chris Fleming (Fender) with
tilt-neck & tilt-headstock and a real vintage
Bixby tremolo push pull pot, for that Vintage Tele
sound This guitar has a nice range off full big fat
tones, and all the Tele tones too.
The
Pick ups
((((WOW))))
they are a force to be reckoned with! TV Jones,
FILTER'TRON TVJ’s Factory Rap>>>(The
great, classic Filter'Tron sound. We all have, it in
our heads, but until now, it has been difficult, To
buy a pickup that puts that tone in your guitar.
Now, with the TV Jones Filter'Tron, the vintage
twang, And growl are once again yours.)
The
Effects,
Centaur
KLON pedal, Brophy says they provide a real creamy
tone and nice drive, Crank the amp up about ¾
full and dial up, some creamy tone on this stomp
box for a real satisfying effect. I Also recently
noticed Debbie Davies was using one at The Blue
Café Gig, Last month and when I asked her about
it, this is what she had to say, I use it more for
TONE then a boost, She had the "DUTY"
(TS-9) for Boost. Dan Electro echo old metal box
first ones, They weigh a couple pounds This Echo
does the job well. TUBE Roto sphere / Hughes &
kettnter This effect unit has been creating some
real ear candy during the set. I have heard it on
a few different settings and each time I was real,
Impressed with the effects it produces Well I like
to keep it short so feel free to E mail any
question’s you may have.??? Will have another
‘Tone Head Weekly" ready in, Two weeks!
Ha-hah I’m not really trying to be funny! This
may be the truth? These things take about two
weeks to gather & Piece together and then get
the stamp & seal of approval. Keep up the
TONE!
Hello, All my Friends & Bro's Sorry for the
delay in mailing out this week's "Tone
Head" Weekly We had to work around some
things this week to make it all happen, thank's
for all the overwhelming interest and to everyone
who joined the list.
