The master of the long note — space, sustain and perfect note choice.
Hiwatt clean headroom, Big Muff fuzz, delay and endless sustain
The gear associated with the sound. Each item opens a live Reverb search — vintage examples where they exist, modern equivalents where they don't.
Big Muff into clean Hiwatt headroom with long delay — sustain that never turns to mush, and bends that define the melody.
Four notes with enormous space around them; the tone is mostly compressor, clean amp and room.
Slightly grittier, more aggressive fuzz with a Uni-Vibe shimmer underneath.
Dry, snappy Strat bridge tone that cuts through a 7/4 groove without excess gain.
The most adaptable electric guitar ever designed. Three single coils, a five-way switch and a vibrato that rewards a light touch — it covers Hendrix, Gilmour, SRV and Mayer without ever pretending to be more than a plank, a neck and some wire.
Dark, degrading repeats that sit behind the note instead of on top of it. Set short for slapback thickness, long for atmosphere, and never louder than the dry signal.
Enormous, scooped, endlessly sustaining. Solo tone in a box — and a rhythm nightmare in a dense mix, which is precisely the trade you're making.
