John Mayer lead tone ! ( + SETTINGS )

Описание: MY INSTAGRAM ►   / tulikmichal  

I think I got pretty close to John's "Live in L.A" lead tone.
It's important to know that this was recorded with amp set reaaaly quiet which is always a struggle for a tube amp. I can get a lot smoother and creamier tone with more overtones when volume is much higher but I unfortunaetly live in a flat :((

RIG :

Fender Blues Deluxe - with Celestion G12M-65 Creamback - This is BIG factor in this tone. No strange EQ settings - only bass rolled down a bit

Volume - 2 ( really low )
Bass - 4
Mid - 7
Treble - 7
Presence - 7
Bright switch and reverb - OFF


Fulldrive 2 Mosfet - Easiest way to get this type of tone without blowing your head off is to stack pedals.
This pedal kinda does that thing because it has a boost before overdrive.
So both sections of pedal are turned on.
Volume - 9 ( o'clock )
Tone - 12
Overdrive -10
Boost - 12
FM mode and Standard clipping.

I used 2 microphones - dynamic and condenser for getting wider spectrum.

Guitar is Fender Player Strat with SSL 1 pickup in the neck.
