Help with Shawn Lane's tone

[boyedav]

Reference:







There are plenty of other examples of well.

What I really like about his tone is that it's fat, but still allows the articulation to come through. The attack that his hands produce on the front end of each note isn't being lost.

I have an Axe-FX III mk I, and humbucker-equipped guitars. Curious where y'all might start in terms of building a preset that might be a good starting point.

Thanks!

We need someone with the Gjika power of 10 amp modeled on here and you would have it.

Those Gjika are some of the best amp tones ive ever heared!

I read a long time ago that he ran a quadraphonic setup. He would run his pedals, heavy delay included, split into 4 Mississippi Bluesmasters but with a different 100% wet single repeat short delay before 3 of them. You can mimic this with a Multi delay placed after the cab block.

Shawn's tone on those MIT live shows with the Charvel is my alltime favourite guitar sound.

This would have been almost 20 years ago...
Probably the long defunct unofficial Lane fan forum (Memphis Monster I think?).
He started doing this to brute force decent tone in bad-sounding venues.

I've read this too, but I think he used just 2 amps for most of his career.

I meant a URL for clips of the MIT shows whose tone you dig. I didn't find anything labeled as that on YT, but maybe I just missed it.

Oops lol. Here you are.





It's not just that show specifically, but that rig with the Charvel 750XL around the POT album.
