Chasing Tone: Gibson Sonex & Ampeg SS-150 - Jimmy Bower Edition

Chasing Tone Episode 1: JImmy Bower Edition
Welcome to a new multi-part series of me making noise with various guitars, amps and pedals trying to find a loosely related tones to some of my favorite players. Here is an ‘81 Gibson Sonex plugged straight into an Ampeg SS-150H head that that has all the charm of a Louisiana swamp.

Sounds just like Bower. You should try it with his does it doom pedal next.

Remember to turn the tone knob on 0 on the guitar also to get his tone even more. He uses a SD Distortion in the bridge also. I’m trying to find a pedal that is of the Ampeg ss150 since I can’t afford the amp or really need one. Awesome demo and sound tho!

[@80AcresStudios]

Thanks! The feel in the room wasn’t quite captured in the video. I am still figuring some of the recording tricks out but have a much better sound in newer demos on this channel.

@FallnessBand thanks also ThisHeavyEarth makes a preamp pedal of the ampeg too I just found out not long ago. They also make a bunch of awesome pedals I want to get and make a deathcore/death metal pedalboard rig with

@@poolepaul4158 nice! That cat is as cool as they come

@@80AcresStudios Damn straight. I cooked for them last year and he said my cooking was excellent!

[@jhinto5657]

Thought he used a Boss SD-1?

[@80AcresStudios]

He uses an SD-1 through his Randall heads but just plugs in straight to his Ampeg rig. The Randall’s are more of a backup nowadays and don’t get loaded in much.

Sounds great, I need to move out of my apartment so I can crank my shit LMAO

[@80AcresStudios]

Ask yourself WWJD? What would Jimmy do? I think he’d crank it so that the neighbors can enjoy a bit of Dixie Whiskey live at 2am!
