Excellent read.I haven't got that one yet, the fact he mentions the wrong Vox solid state amp for 1967 annoys me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Oops. I think the one I have is a revised edition, maybe he updated it to fix that faux pas?In any case I was more interested in the guitars, everybody knows that Vox solid state amps are rubbish.

Well The Beatles themselves clearly didn't, neither did The Roliing Stones. The ones I love are very unique, not like yer usual solid state amps at all.

Guest MKII Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 So what tracks did The Beatles use the solid state amps on?Of course they used some lovely Fender amps as well, but...http://www.voxshowroom.com/uk/amp/7120intr.htmlShe Said, She Said on Revolver and the piercing treble leads on pepper are the hybrid amp for exampleThen sometime in 1967 Vox gave The Beatles a whole new backline of completely solid state amps, as well as The Rolling Stones and The Hollies. http://www.voxshowroom.com/uk/amp/conq.htmlAnyway, songs which obviously feature the all SS amps are:Hello, GoodbyeLady MadonnaHey BulldogBirthday(the piano was fed through the amp and utilised its 3 position M.R.B effect, you can hear it being flipped through the positions during the song, especially at the end.)Savoy TruffleHappiness Is a Warm GunI've had the preamp made in to a pedal and should have it soon, yippee!
