Mr. Natural Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 You can occasionally find a Bixonic Expandora on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'd tell you but then where's the fun and rewards of exploration. I'll give you a couple hints, Two Amps for Brown Sugar and La Grange. 80's Distortion Box and High Output Pickups for Dilerious. If your talking about "Pinch Harmonics" that's not achieved with effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 How heavy could it possibly be? I'm sure Morty can handle a 1/4 oz or so, based upon his insightful posting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky4 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think a few of his more popular solos were done direct to a board with a Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, try this at home and see how close to The Rev's sound you get. You'll definitely need an Amp or Two and maybe some pedals if you want to get a ZZ Like tone at home. The guitar isn't as important as the Gain Settings and Chorus for 70's ZZ Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
