How Good Are Your Ears? Guess My Gear

X–Ray · 05-22-2012, 02:45 AM

__________________

here is a snippet of a solo from a song i recorded back in 19 and 72

the name of the band was, Mars Hall

both the solo and rhythm tracks were recorded using the same guitar and amp

if you know me, it should be a slam dunk – but then, maybe not...

best guesses welcomed

Mars Hall solo:1972 by rrclarkphd on SoundCloud

babatube · 05-22-2012, 02:56 AM

sounds British that's for sure.
have no idea what amp...
my best guess is orange or hiwatt

It's you playing, sounds good. Could be a plank into a Dansette. It's you playing, sounds good.

ES-175 into a Standel?

Honestly, I can't tell. Best guess would be a Deluxe into a Marshall, maybe with a Superfuzz in front.
There is some octave action happening but not I believe via an octaver.

Backstage · 05-22-2012, 03:45 AM

Like the band's name, a Marshall

CHUNKYNECK · 05-22-2012, 03:50 AM

Les paul into a Vox with fuzz face and an octave pedal?

wwit · 05-22-2012, 03:55 AM

My monies on the 1st Act guitar/amp combo

Thumpalumpacus · 05-22-2012, 03:58 AM

My first thought was SG into an Orange or Marshall.

rjshare · 05-22-2012, 04:06 AM

lp -> marshall direct. all effects added at the desk.

Sloppy Joe · 05-22-2012, 09:50 AM

Guitar: Sounds kinda Strat-like to me.

Amp: ?

Oranjeaap · 05-22-2012, 09:56 AM

Its a gretsch

vomer · 05-22-2012, 10:07 AM

SG with P90's into an AC30 with some manual octave double tracking?

cynic79 · 05-22-2012, 11:01 AM

Les Paul + Marshall

Double tracked solo.

X–Ray · 05-22-2012, 11:04 AM

__________________

you fellas have some great ears

some ideas super close, others a million miles away

no effects other than a little reverb

solo guitar just double tracked – no octave pedal

yeah, Mars Hall, Marshall, i thought i was sooo clever

not going to drag this out forever – hopefully, a few more guesses and another correct answer or two should do

my hope is once i post the answer it may generate another discussion – or be completely anti–climatic

appreciate the participation

;~)

Sounds awesome! I know what it is, but if I said it would be cheating....

sonar1 · 05-22-2012, 11:23 AM

I'm going to venture a Les Paul with both pickups on (with the bridge pu slightly dominant but with some tone rolled off) into a Plexi, mic'd through a SM-57?

geochem1st · 05-22-2012, 11:27 AM

Rickenbacker 12 string

maybe a Gretsch 12 string in to your Mars Hall (could even be an AC30 with a pedal)

Sin Nombre · 05-22-2012, 11:29 AM

I would say (before I saw your post) LP or some kind of HB git onto Marshall or other Brit amp. Sounds good.

Mindfrigg · 05-22-2012, 11:32 AM

Sounds like maybe an LP w/t-buckers? It WAS the '70s!

Mindfrigg · 05-22-2012, 11:33 AM

Wait!! It's a Dano!!

Laaz · 05-22-2012, 11:35 AM

LP Deluxe

Gear? Or hearing aids?

Right, if no pedals must be a twelve string. Unless the lead is double-tracked?

Mindfrigg · 05-22-2012, 11:40 AM

Sorry, you SAID lead was double tracked! Doyh!
