Thank you Adrian! I’m not a rockabilly player, but play and prefer older style music. As I need to switch between acoustic and electric and mandolin my compromise live setup is a Fishman Artist acoustic amp, with a Boss DM-3 and an eq pedal, which is invaluable as I can use it to obtain a Tweed type sound. It works wonders.
Ah yes, an eq pedal is another great tool! I too use a dm3 for gigging, mainly because it fits in my small pedal box better than the mystery brain! Great pedal!! Thanks for contributing!
Adrian - so great. Such a fan of rockabilly and love your breakdown of getting that sound, awesome. Hey - question, I'm curious about what the mic is you are using hanging on the Supro?
Sounds great but how many repeats do you use? Looks like your repeat knob is around 9 o'clock and you are not getting that many repeats but on my Mystery Brain that same setting (9:00) seems like it has more repeats.
Hmm, it could depend on tape mix and i think there is a knob hidden inside the pedal that acts as a gain, could also depend on whether the preamp is on or Abby mode?
For that really old school basic rockabilly thing simplicity is hard to beat. I’d add a spring reverb and tremolo tho. For Duane Eddy, Link Wray, Cramps etc Maybe that’s not what the video was about but adjacent styles which are enjoyed by most of the same audience 😅
Duane Eddy yes, not really going for Link Wray or Cramps in this case, but you’re right and they are killer sounds too!!! El Nico has a really good video on that setup, I’m sure you’ve seen it?!!
@ yes, I realize they are quite different of course. I think I’ve seen Nico’s video on that set up. I guess the early sound is a lot drier and more country leaning.
Ah yes, 6V6, that is important and useful! I should specify it’s almost like the 6 series were the ones you need, although I had no idea about the 5881- thank you!
Hey Adrian! What about using the Mystery Brian’s preamp and Abby functions for the gain and boost ? It should act the same as using external pedals, correct?
Yes, great as a boost, I should have mentioned that as an option! A drive pedal will definitely add a bit more grit though, which is one thing I like. The Abby mode squeezes the bottom end and raises the upper mids, very specific to Brian Setzer’s tone and a great sound!
Good video! I am just tipping my toe into playing rockabilly. After 30 years of rock playing, do you think it's worth my time to try using a thumb pick? I can see how it is useful, I'm just no sure if I have the patience to get used to it.
Hey mate, you can do a great job using pick and fingers (hybrid picking) like Jim Heath. Brian setzer uses a flat pick but switches by tucking the pick into his palm with his index finger. You’ve got options is what I’m saying! I often play with a flat pick too. Thanks for the comment, I hope my response helps!
@@the_mad_robot I believe very strongly in the courses, if you just work each step til it makes sense you should go along way! If you want to discuss it more shoot me an email at theguitarsuite@hotmail.com
I like that Travis type of picking in your demo. Is that on a tutorial? Thanks very much.
Always great content! Thank you!
I appreciate that greatly! Thank you!

Nice video Adrian. FYI, Tweed Deluxe were 6V6 power tubes. Tweed Bassman were originally 5881, which are close to 6L6 but have a bit less power

That guitar its the heritage ?

@@AdrianWhyte It does indeed. I just saw you have a thumb picking video on your site. Perhaps I should jump in. Cheers!

Where was the example of your sound in a live situation with your band? I was hoping you'd do that.
@@ac30lifestyle hi Dean, one of the better examples would be found here : ruclips.net/video/_K4_aelQYOk/видео.htmlsi=4YJEKjwfOPZGgkIS
@AdrianWhyte sounds great. Sound cuts through. 6120 sounds perfect. Great playing of course
ADRIAN WHYTE, Which Rockabilly guitarist would roll down their guitars TONE control?
None that I know of!! But I do get occasional comments asking about where I set my tone control. Set it..? I never change it lol!
