This guy is a monster! Hope he gets the recognition he truly deserves.

[@littlewing90]

Great tone and very good player. Would love to see him live! I think sayce has huge SRV influences in his playing.

[@Rampensau99]

I got that Super Reverb...yessss!! Didn´t know that Philip uses it and I´m a huge Sayce fan!

[@Avim111]

I have a Marshall amp jtm45. An I have a blue sky reverb so how I make a reverb like this. Thank you

[@davidwile1277]

@@Avim111 yeah not the same as a super reverb amp...thank you

[@nickwellings9433]

Sayce gets better every time I see him. Humble guy too.

[@ReverendHellbilly]

love his tone. Cheers

[@shearn666]

Oh c'mon - we only just got started!! :-/ He's a real genuine guy. I wish they'd show his amp settings,

[@milodaman2]

I swear by it, the two things you need (besides fingers) is the guitar and amp. For fucks sake, fingers are the most important, but having a strat with a good tube amp, you can achieve any sound. Overdrive it and you've got philip sayce. Those are by far the biggest factors to tone

[@Jimmydweed]

The red pedal on the left is Diaz tremodillo.

[@CMSpida]

@1Guug its behind the guitarist magazine logo ontop of the fender cab

[@jwandhistools]

Proof that old, battered gear still gets the best tone.

[@armandoplaysmusic]

😆 this guy is not only a badass bluesman but he's funny and seems pretty cool, too.

[@ZARCOOTER]

PS , has anyone heard Michael Landau play at the bake potato doing Hendrix? It will blow your mind . He can go into fusion in a split second . His resume is kinda huge . 😉

[@JapanVintageStrategy]

The Man

[@carlosfuzz]

0:43 what happened?

[@MusicMan642]

Censored a cuss lol.

[@jks2]

fender super reverb is the ultimate stevie ray vaughan amp!

[@Paralyznyrd]

You and Jimmy Herring Love REVERB. To each their own I guess. Jimmy uses a volume pedal to control his reverb and adjust to the room he's playing in.

[@shlagman]

what is the year of the super reverb ? Someone knows??

[@shlagman]

@Tomcatblues thank you for all great informations TOM !!

[@Jimmydweed]

The pink pedal is a Diaz square face fuzz.

[@milodaman2]

upon further investigation, the black one is the keeley true bypass looper. red one is probably some kind of a fuzz. I don't know the pink one..

[@mattirving4164]

Mick Taylor?

[@NeedsMorePixels]

Philip plays with Lots of Treble and pretty much Reverb. try something like Treble at 8 or 9 in a Super reverb or Twin reverb. you will get a pretty identic sound.

[@normanhacker3588]

He's hard on amps.he plays at 11!

[@joskam092]

Okay, I can't find the answer anywhere. Go to 3:48 and pause. What's the pink pedal in the top right? What's the red pedal on the bottom left? and what the black pedal just above the red one that's hard to see?

[@Rampensau99]

...listen to his albums, he always uses them in studio

[@TurquoiseArmies]

YEAHHHH!!!!!

[@thelost78]

The Best!

[@Rampensau99]

I guess around 1970

[@NintendoSinceBirth1]

no way its the vibroverb with the 15 inch speaker, the super reverb was just a little added spice

[@russbrinn]

he is very soft-spoken...

[@Rampensau99]

Right! Got one, will never ever sell it...

[@TechMetalRules]

- "Mick, here!" - "Phil, here!"

[@glenwhiteheart458]

So is this better than the Sire Marcus Miller bass?

[@BIBBBO]

yea the BEST

1969 I believe.

[@joshmuz9018]

The 90s rave scene called, they want their outdated fashion back Phillip

[@Avim111]

I’m happy that I found this gay he is master guitar player he is my favorite.

[@jks2]

saucage?

[@lthoedt]

Why does he look different in every video?

[@jerrymorganjr]

I wonder if he's ever heard of SRV???

[@jerrymorganjr]

I shouldn't talk trash. My setup sounds just like Cream era Clapton.

[@ZARCOOTER]

Philip is a great guitar player fo sho , he can't write lyrics like Hendrix, and front a trio at 24 years old though , and scare EVERY blues and rock player alive in 1967 , paving uncharted territory, not copying. Check out Henrik Fleishlader , doing foxey lady, he kills every Hendrix Experience touring guy, and I was on Satriani and Johnson payroll to see it every night . I used to use 12 -56 strings , forever , now I play 9-38 , just like Jimi . The tone is way cooler to me , it makes the effects like fuzz act different , than with big strings. Doyle , Philip , Johnson, Philip, all big string fans, the tone is not anywhere near Jimi with big strings, fyi.

[@Sanderopop]

Phillip Suace

[@krzysztofasgartof]

0:36 you a lucky

[@FlorianDhoudain]

Steam Roller riff at the beginning of the video ;)

[@davidwile1277]

Where did he buy he coat? The rugby rioter store?

[@1Guug]

@CMSpida watched the video like 10 times and didn't realized it, not even now xD

[@Johaneeeek]

Every guitar tone you ever heard in your live has problably been recorded with the sm57, so no...not really

[@vaichild]

o shit i always call you philip sauce

[@1Guug]

@CMSpida yeah that thing does 90% of his tone xD

[@jjmassey2906]

kenny wayne shepherd does backwater blues to :/

[@wrigleyx]

Lol! he's great :)

[@guitarlair]

needs more reverb

[@CMSpida]

lol any one else see that little micro marshall

[@MrTurboparrot]

0.44 = LOL

[@jerrymorganjr]

His tone isn't original. That's Stevies. His songs aren't anything like Srv. I admire that.

[@jerrymorganjr]

Cool aid, bro.

[@Stereostupid]

Hendrix more

[@stratomiesniinsaatanasti5250]

omg that outfit is hideous

[@cosmogang]

Ack! That tone is terrible! I'm sure it's better in person, but that is just painful on this video. Yuck.

[@Stereostupid]

cosmogang it is on a cell phone that’s 8 years old 😂 really man

[@hesselvanderwal6807]

Too SRV to me. Get your own tone. Great player though. personally I hate (strong word) his tone.

[@UnchainedMelody86]

Have you listened to any of his songs? Doesn't really sound like SRV

[@guitar78ish]

lol, I just watched 5 videos of him, and they all sounded like SRV/Hendrix.

[@carlmacedo9228]

To each his own. SRV tones give me chills down deep. His phrasing is unique and powerful. Love it

[@guitar78ish]

Totally agree with you, I was't dissing Philip with my previous comment, I was just stating facts. I happen to think his playing is freakin' awesome!

[@guitar78ish]

Did you read my second comment?? "I happen to think his playing is freakin' awesome". In my first comment I was replying to Unchainedmelody86, just stating facts and my second comment was in response to Carl Macedo.

[@lisagy4354]

...Fake ass relic guitar......blah blah

[@NorthernThrone]

It's his original 63 Strat he played with Jeff Healey

[@UnchainedMelody86]

dumbass

[@buddyollie7400]

Lisa Gy yeahhh, you a dumbass... 🖕
