Now that you've built your sound...
...and your 18 watt amp sounds so-o-o-o good, what are the three (PLE-E-E-E-EAZE, only three) best sounding songs that you play? I'd like to give people who have not yet been assimilated a sense of what our lovely little monster does.
My three are (for this morning, anyway).
Vehicle -- The Ides of March (1969)
Tush -- ZZ Top (1975)
Heart Attack and Vine -- Tom Waits (1980)
I figured that we've talked enough about the equipment so we should talk a little about the reason the equipment exists, eh?

Gary Moore has recorded Eyesight To The Blind from his Close As You Get album using Orange Tiny Terror and coupled it with a Marshall 2061X with its 2x12 combo - but i'm sure you can get there with a 18w as well.

Rollingstone or CatFish Blues
Love Struck Baby
Played on a Gretsch Corvette, with megatron's, Then I haven't even gotten to my my favs with the 335 with the 3X P90's, the Hohner, LP the Strat, Tele etc. To many variables with so many guitars.
Can we raise the Bar, how about three tunes per guitar? Livin in Vegas you have to raise and call. (LOL)

I didn't know that Gary Moore recorded it with a Tiny Terror. I am sure he would sound great through anything. However, you can hear the fuzziness at the start of that track and then throughout that is characteristic of the the TT. Sometimes that lends a nice edge to the sound but other times it sounds just too fuzzy. Same with a lot of Rory Galagher through his Vox's.Bulatovic wrote:Gary Moore has recorded Eyesight To The Blind from his Close As You Get album using Orange Tiny Terror and coupled it with a Marshall 2061X with its 2x12 combo - but i'm sure you can get there with a 18w as well.

Shame he didn't use an 18Watt.

Lots of tones possible with my Lite II / Strat / Les Paul...here's three our band plays:
Pretenders - Back on the Chain Gang; low input, vol=5, tone=7, using a strat split between bridge and mid pickup. Some light delay and light chorus from my old CE-2
Tom Petty - Listen To Her Heart; same setup as above.
Ramones - Beat On The Brat; hi input, vol=8, tone=6 using a Les Paul on the bridge pickup.

For some reason i find if i put volume quite low - 2 or 3 and play my Strat - i get fantastic Little Wing tone, and when cranked it does nice Highway Child. It's a mini Hendrix amp if you ask me!
Other stuff... well (all with a Les Paul)
Strange Brew - Cream
Baby Please Don't Go - AC/DC
Show Business -AC/DC
Hard Times - Gary Moore
