Programming a good clean sound for the studio version of "Sultans of Swing" is easy, but for the slightly overdriven sound of the "Alchemy" version, all my attempts have failed… Which amp model, which drive, which IR would you use for that ?
There was a Music Man RD, too, back in the days AFAIK.
I have a 68 Vibrolux here. Doesn't sound close when it breaks up.
I had some old blonde Princeton-sized Boogie back in '85. never could touch my Princeton for tone. Did the boogie OD thing OK, but on cleans... no contest.I'd forgotten - he and Clapton were big name users late 70s early 80s. That could be the amp. Didn't he use the big HD130? Those musicman amps have quite a unique overdrive, I had an RD50 years ago. Didn't care for the drive but I was 18 and into Satriani....
Boogie's are very fender on the cleans. Defiantly used by the man from time to time in the 80s. He also liked EVM12L drivers.
