Ummm...60's ES-335, direct into a Fender Bassman, crank it up...repeat as necessary.

Oh--and be Eric Clapton...

Seriously...a guitar with good pickups, and a tube amp driven hard will do that. Don't muck around with a lot of effects, it will push the tone away from this very basic sound.

yea im not an effect person really just some nice tube gain and reverb if appropriate and when im rockin out ill use delay but i just mean cause on my peavey c 30 i get a real heavy electric blues/rock type of tone/gain out of it but hes got like a thin sounding thing goin on here but no thin in a bad way it sounds good

Turn the gain down a bit. Remember those amps had a volume knob and EQ controls, nothing else. You had to crank it it to get that great power tube distortion.

Try your clean channel cranked up on that C30. That may be closer to the ticket for ya.

i cranked the clean channel till i got a little break up and it wasnt as much as he had so i put a little gain on the ds-1 and it did the trick
