Get The Tone

Gary’s sound is all about pure tone, so a Les Paul (or bridge-humbucking equivalent) guitar into a cranked Marshall-style valve amp will get you close. Gary was also fond of using the Marshall Guv’nor pedal into his JTM45 on the Still Got The Blues album, so it’s possible he retained its services for his massive sound on this track. A similar, tonally rich distortion or boost pedal will do the trick. Gary also uses a little slapback delay of around 100-120ms to create a nice feeling of depth without saturating the sound with loads of reverb.
