Trying to nail Alvin Lee tone in Amplitube

[Scubaman]

I know 90% of the tone comes from the fingers and I ain't Alvin Lee by a very long shot but could anyone give me some pointers as to a starting point for his sound.

I'm using Amplitube 3 but also have access to Guitar Rig 5 if needs be.

I don´t know Amplitube or Guitar Rig, but I would say :

- Be sure to use a ES 335 type guitar. I think I get more Alvin tone from those than from my Les Pauls.
- I hear Alvins tone as bright and midtone/ nasal ( like his singing ). I think due to the fact that he played with PAFs with covers off.
So if you can get a pair of boutique PAFs ( I can recommend Sheptones ) that would be fine. Otherwise use the controls/ Eq.

Good luck with the hunt for the tone of this great great musicisian
Please post the results if you get something on tape.

Hi Guys

Thanks for responding.

What I'm looking for in particular is if anyone has got a set of presets for either Amplitube or Guitar Rig which I could use as a starting point.
