Hi all,

because it is highly recognisable, i was wondering if anyone had tried to nail the specific tone of Mike Oldfield, this particular whining guitar sound of his.

I know we are in a huge different world from Satriani's and Petrucci's but maybe someone could have been curious enough to try it ( I am) and gifted enough to nail it ( I am not!).

Is the Axe powerful enough to recreate it or the druidic potion isn't included ? :frog:

Some feedbacks and presets maybe?

Thanks
 
I was 14 when the original was released in 1973 and I heard it on the radio. Yes, they played things like this on the radio back then! Great album.
 
In fact, the tone is more obvious on this track Discovery from the Discovery album :





The solo starts at 1'58'' and that's more his signature tone of the 80's to me.


Mike Oldfield is indeed reknown for "Tubular bells" album, some others are worth listening to too. ( By the way "Tutu" by Miles Davies is also great ) ;)
