Lady Madonna- The Beatles (Guitar Cover)

  • It's February 1968. The Beatles are getting ready to embark on a months long journey to India with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. They need a good single to release while they're gone, and Paul has found inspiration from Fats Domino
    George and John plug their guitars into the same Vox Conqueror amp on 'Distortion' mode. George is using his 1964 Gibson SG Standard, and John his 1965 Epiphone Casino
    I'm using my 1970 Gibson SG Special with P-90 pickups. It's very similar to George's, except his had humbucker pickups and different inlays/tuners. And I'm using my 2021 Epiphone USA Casino in Royal Tan, also with P-90's
    Amp is my 1965 Fender Bassman (black panel) with original oxford speakers/cab. And finally, I'm using the Aclam Dr. Robert pedal. This is based on the Vox UL730 amp that the Beatles used on Revolver/Pepper. Funnily enough the artwork on the pedal was drawn by none other than Klaus Voormann, who designed the Revolver album cover

    Do you find the Doctor Robert does a good "Happiness is a warm gun" guitar tone?

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  2 года назад +17

      That was more of a fuzz tone. Mostly like a Tone Bender mk 1.5. But yeah Dr. Robert covers Hey Bulldog, Glass Onion, Hello Goodbye, Fixing a Hole, Back in the USSR. All those weird vox hybrid tones

    • @elirosen1391
      @elirosen1391 2 года назад +1

      @@sampopkin many of those White Album titles certainly have fuzzy tones. But they don't have the nasal tone of the Vox Conqueror. It is possible they whipped out the UL730s again? Or brought some of the old fuzz boxes out of storage?

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  2 года назад +2

      Seems like Conqueror/Defiant were used the most besides Fenders. But some songs definitely used Tone Benders like on Rubber Soul-Pepper. It is possible they reused the 730's or 7120's though
