Sydex Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hello, and happy Halloween to those who celebrate it today. So, here's my question. What pedals and amps do you all use? To start off I'll post what I use. Pedal: Boss GT-6 Amp: Orange AD-30TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I don't play real jazz guitar' date=' but I saw this page recently about jazz amps: http://www.jazzguitar.be/jazz_guitar_amps.html [/quote'] Yep, that link says it all. BTW, here's what Pat Martino says: One of the most common examples is based on the monitors available. I carry a small 6 lb. power head, (Acoustic Image) amplifier, that’s most compatible with one of the requests on my “contract rider”, (2 Mesa Boogie speaker cabinets, containing 2 / 12 inch JBL speakers in each). These particular cabinets aren’t always available, and in most cases are replaced with Marshall cabinets, (sometimes containing 4 / 12 inch speakers of different types). My settings are then changed to adapt to the equipment itself. the environment itself requires equalized adaptation. A small nightclub type environment is drastically different than a large concert hall. Under ever changing challenges it’s become a study of adaptation. So, what I’m adding is a graphic description of my current home settings. Although, once the general identity is established, slight alterations reproduce what's needed.

Guest Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I rarely play jazz but when I do I don't use any pedals, I didn't think jazz guitarists used pedals generally. Since it's a style of music nobody cares about here I know the crowd will be small so I just bring my little Vox AD30VT and use the clean channel.

Caramello Koala Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 The only Jazz-guitarist I've ever seen (live) was Larry Coryell He used a chinese made (he said himself) Parker E-acoustic guitar and a small Henrikson (signature?) amp which was miced up!!! His sound was great. http://larrycoryell.net/page.php?1 http://www.jazzamp.com/ Peter You saw Larry Coryell live!? You Dog!! Back to the topic, whenever I play Jazz I don't use pedals, just the clean channel on my Vox AC15. My guitar is an epiphone dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 For jazz playing I generally use either an Epiphone Blues Custom 30 or a Line 6 Spider III 75 watt amp. The only effects I use are a bit of reverb, sometimes a bit of delay or chorus, and sometimes a little overdrive from the amp. If I'm doing a more "fusoid" kind of thing, there might be some wah, phasing or flanging, but not on every song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelh Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Not a Jazz guitar player but when I do I use pretty much the same stuff I use for everything else. Don't care if it's tubes or SS as long as the amp stays clean. Although I do favor, or my main gigging amps, are all blackface Fender tube amps. Pedal wise I use my DL4, TS9, EQ and maybe if I remember my chorus.....as I said pretty much the same stuff except for the chorus As far as guitars it's whatever I feel like grabbing...or playing. My Hofner Verything Standard as been my favorite and main gigging guitar but my '61 SG is my favorite for that type of music. Truth be told once I eq my amp any of my guitars I plug into it pretty much works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankS1281734010 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I was in the jazz band in high school. I used my Dot studio, and just a clean setting on the Behringer amp I had. The other kid used an Italia and some Fender amp. No effects, the instructor woulda killed us for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old mark Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 When I venture into my jazzier blues stuff, I use my Epiphone G400 Les Paul custom set on the neck pup, with the tone around 5 or 6, and a clean low volume sttting on my 1985 Peavey Studio amp. Sounds fine to me. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLesPaul2006 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I play Jazz through my Roland JC-50, and with my Dean hollowbody. I dont use any effects or pedals. I just goes through the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
