clean tone - Sultans of Swing

Post by dstroud »

I was shocked how “stratty” my EC-256 got on split coil mode. The bang for the buck on this guitar keeps getting better! I used my Blankenship custom 2 channel 18 watter and marshall 1960 cab, straight in, compressed on post

Sounds great! Every time that I hear that tune it reminds me that I wanted to learn pieces of that solo.

Not entirely surprising ampwise because Mark’s actual amp was a Brown Vibrolux. The Brown circuits are a little less bright and clean than the later Blackface and Silverface circuits.
Not as raw as a Tweed but not as clean as a BF. A little closer to what Marshall would do.

The surprise is that guitar though for sure. Sounds awesome. Some pickups do split tones really well.

thanks, I didn’t know what amp he used, but I was surprised I got this close with this guitar!
