Q.
What gear did Gary use on the album track "Still got the Blues" 1990 ? submitted by various people to the site.
A Gibson Les Paul Standard ( circa 1959), a Marshall Guv'nor pedal, a Marshall JTM45 Re-issue amp, and a Marshall 1960B 4 x12" cabinet loaded with Electrovoice 12M speakers instead of the usual Celestions.
Of all the various tones that have been heard on Gary's records, the sounds on the "Still Got The Blues" album are the most asked about by fans on a regular basis. During 1989 the JTM Reissue series was in the final stages of development, and Gary received an early production model [#RI 001 1X] at the start of the initial recordings that would become the "Still Got The Blues" album.
Used in conjunction with a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, a Marshall Guv'nor pedal, and a Marshall 1960B 4x12" cab loaded with Electrovoice 12" speakers, it became the featured tone of the album, heard on nearly all the tracks including the title track.
Gary: "One of the guys from Metallica goes up to [producer] Bob Rock and says, 'This is the sound I want,' and plays him 'Oh Pretty Woman' from "Still Got The Blues". Then they proceed to go through all these pre-amps and processors to achieve it.
I felt I should write and say, 'That's not how to do it. You've got the money now guys, go out and buy a '59 Les Paul, a Guv'nor pedal and a JTM45!"
