nesster97 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Sweet guitar,what kind of amp are you using? im running a behringer v-amp 2 i think. But i use the vox ac-30 affect for the classic beatles sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 i use the vox ac-30 affect for the classic beatles sound Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but The Beatles never played their Casinos through an AC30. It is highly likely that they never played a Casino through any Vox amp at all. By the time the Casinos started arriving The Beatles were using various Fender amps. Try your Casino on a Fender amp setting. You'll see it sounds more Beatley than through a Vox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is highly likely that they never played a Casino through any Vox amp at all." Here's a clip of John and George with two Casino's and four Vox amps: Oh, come on. The Beatles sound is what was recorded and is heard on the records. You really think the Beatles live in concert is their famed sound? The boys never released a live album during their time, but they did release a ton of albums and singles. That sound on those records is their sound. Or do you think bootlegs of the boys in Tokyo or Cincinatti is The Beatle sound the public is hearing everyday on the radio? (And by the way, that clip you posted of "Nowhere Man" live sounds nothing like the Beatle sound on the record. Where's Fender Strat ripping the lead? Where's the acoustic guitar playing the song!?! You really think "Nowhere Man" played live in Japan on different instruments and amps is a good example of the famed Beatles sound?) As I said, it is highly unlikely that The Beatles ever played a Casino into any Vox amp. The sound we hear of any Beatle playing a Casino is most likely through a Fender amp. This info comes from various books (the key one being Babiuk's gear book). By the time the Casinos were being played, The Beatles were moving to Fender amps which were all over the studio. However, there may be exceptions. Being that Paul first used his Casino in '65, it is possible that he played some of his guitar work on "Help" through a Vox amp. But then again, Paul was using a Fender Bassman at that time and he did play his guitars through that amp. I've seen a picture taken at this time of his Casino leaning against the Fender Bassman. There's also a photo of George playing his Casino for "All You Need Is Love" and it looks to be plugged into a Vox Conqueror - which isn't even a tube amp. However, that may have been just for the TV part of the show and George's brief lead may have been played on a Fender amp. No one will ever really exactly know what was played through what, but there are some good books and great photographic evidence that can help us out. And most evidence leads one to see that the Casino into a Vox probably did not happen much if at all. And one thing is 100% certain - The Beatles never played a Casino through a Vox AC30 model at all. Those most famous of all Beatle amps were put on mothballs in the studio starting in late 1963! (Mark Lewisohn's Recording Sessions book and Andy Babiuk's gear book are great sources for both dates of equipment used and photos of equipment being used. Those two are also the best Beatle books out there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 But which model were the fender amps? The Beatles used these Fender amps: - Fender Showman - Fender Twin - Fender Deluxe Reverb - Fender Bassman Those are the amps George, John's, or Paul's Casino were played through and what you hear on the records. Once again there may be a Casino into a Vox guitar part recorded in '65 or '66, but most likely not. And most certainly not from '67 on to the end was a Casino played into a Vox. All Fender amps by that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previously submitted video clearly show they indeed played Epiphone Casino guitars through VOX amplifiers. The video here shows them again, playing another song, using Epiphone Casino guitars through VOX amplifiers: Beatles, Casinos and VOX amps[/url. The videos and the entire tour of Japan must have been fabricated, or, your statement is erroneous. One or the other - which one? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The videos and the entire tour of Japan must have been fabricated, or, your statement is erroneous. One or the other - which one? Uhh, the original poster said he plays his Casino through a Vox setting in order to get the Beatles sound. The Beatle sound is what we hear on their recordings, but you feel the famed Beatle sound is what they did live in Japan. Get a clue, friend. I was hoping someone might be knowledgeable enough to point to an instance where The Beatles did use the Casino with a Vox on record. Instead I get a clueless response from someone like you who thinks the live sound is what we all think of as The Beatle sound. No, not the world famous records, but you feel rare live bootlegs is the Beatle sound. Hey, George played a Maton Mastersound live at the Winter Gardens. You now feel that the Maton guitar is that famed Beatle sound. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svet Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 One of my favorite tones is my Elitist Casino through my 59 Bassman RI! I use an Ibanez Tube Screamer for distortion and an EH Holy Grail for reverb and a p90 equipped guitar just sounds amazing on that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 One of my favorite tones is my Elitist Casino through my 59 Bassman If you love your Casino into a Bassman, you are not alone. The Beatles loved it, too. Believe it or not, a guitar or bass into a Bassman is the true Beatle sound (or the one we hear most on record). The Fender Bassman is the one amp that was in their arsenal, in their studio, the longest. From '64 to the very end. No other amp had as much use as the Bassman. It really is odd how the Vox amp has come to signify The Beatle sound when it was really Fender amps that they used more. Hell, I'm guilty of falling for the Vox myth, too. I'm a big Beatle fan and I don't have a Fender Bassman, Showman, Twin, or Deluxe Reverb...but I do have a Vox AC30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svet Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Great to see you around again Svet, how's the baby going ??? Hi RaSTus, thank you, it's good to see you too! My daughter is doing very well thank you and she started walking a day after her 9 month birthday! She is 10 months old now and I am starting to have a little freedom to surf and play the guitar. All this talk put me in a P90/Bassman mood so when I got home from work I busted out my 90's equiped guitars and been jamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
