guitar_randy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I never really minded Tesla,but something with their guitar tone turns me off some.Can't put my finger on what it is.What affects are they all using here? I like their playing style,but I like more of a natural ,raw sounding tone.Just an overdriven marshall sound.Some type of affect they are usingI think they could do without.Anyone have an idea what affect it is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRF2qaXif00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The vid Randy posted was from Pops place just outside of St Lou last year. My friend Tracy shot the vid. For the song no effects were used except OD Ibenez tube screamer and reverb through a JCM 900. Dave is running the same through a JCM 800 Slash Model head... But the affect it had was amazing as always.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_randy Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 It sounds like something,chorus,flanger,phaser or something.Doesn't sound like guitar into amp.Sounds like something in between ,altering the sound somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBENDS Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I learned a few of their songs off the radio years ago (like 1991). 94Rock here in my city plays them all the time. That new tune "I wanna live before I die. Don't want the world...." Kicks Asphalt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
