Mesa Boogie Lonestar Special /Pedal board run through . Andy Timmons/ Eric Johnson /John Mayer tones

This is one off my pedal boards , I’ve put it together originally to try and get an Eric Johnson type tone . It’s ended up been more a John Mayer type tone ( I think )
I’m using my my 1984 squire japan strat ( as made by fender E TYPE ) I’ve just had jumbo frets put on it by Rob Winder from hull , his work is brilliant , I couldn’t recommend a better guy to work on your guitars ! Really friendly and very considerate .
I like to mid stack with my pedals as I’ve done here on my pedal board and I’m using my valvetron compressor as limiter so that i can have my Fuzz Face mini level on full without blowing the windows out
The amp I’m using is my Mesa Boogie Lonestar on channel 2 with the mid push up by 1 , all controls approximately 12 o’clock , the mid off and the bass at 9 o clock , i was trying to get a fender super 65 sound as a bass tone
I don’t normally ramble on this much so sorry for all the detail but hopefully some off you may find this interesting
Hope you like the content and videos , stay safe , best Bruce

Thanks Conor , this board design was inspired by your channel and playing . There’s a few differences but i think 🤔 it turned out ok . It’s really inspired me creating new ideas . Thanks again dude . Best Bruce

Sounds dope. Just bought this exact amp. You running the delays and verb in the loop? Or hitting the front

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

Thanks for the kind words dude. To maybe help , from memory, the effects are in front, channel 1, little or no gain (clean only) and i have changed the speakers to cream backers (celestion) type (much warmer and more mid focused) I am playing through my 1986 Squire strat. The magic sauce is the GIGITY pedal that changes the tone shape, hope this helps buddy

1984 not 1986 😂

Hey man - this is cool; do you run the drive pedals levels hot the way Andy Timmons does?

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

Thanks for the feedback buddy, yeah in this video i run everything infront. The amp is used clean as a pedal platform. I might add i changed the speakers out for celestion cream backers

[@joefriedmanguitarnut]

@@brucesguitardemos8197 it sounds really excellent……. I have been fascinated recently with how hot Andy Timmons and Scott Henderson run their drive pedals into their amps…… I have tried it, but obviously it can create noise issues when combining with other drives.

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

The trick is to keep the amp as clean possible and gain stack the pedals, build it with a little bit from each drive pedal , id recommend a good compressor also , really glad you like the demo 👍

Nice sound and Playing 😊
I have head version.

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

Thanks buddy , the amp has celestion cream backers in it so the sound is slightly warmer 👍

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

Thanks buddy , there a great amp very versatile and full of options ❤

Hey, for more super reverb base tone you should try the 35 watt optional 16 ohm output! Check my video. Great playing!

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

Your channel sounds great dude , you should post more videos 👍
