John Butler Live Rig

Check out John Butler's live rig. There is a lot to LEARN about an acoustic/electric set-up for that big tone which is always quasi-mysterious, especially on the acoustic side of things. John, however, goes through the black magic to a great sound. The GP interviewer (Robbie Ginett?) is an idiot and starts out with an insipid generic question which he then qualifies with a moronic follow-up question. Too much hair to distract him, I guess. Butler takes Robbie, and us, to a good place though. Compassionate dude.

 

The guitar site of the day is amptone.com

amptone.com

Amp Tone, Effects Placement, and
Cranked-Amp Tone at Any Volume. (since 1997)

A comprehensive professional site dedicated to most or all the issues associated with getting an optimum tone from your particular set-up. Debunks many myths that the music instrument industrial complex tries to sell you in the way of new gear (you need the new Slash Les Paul so you sound just like him!). Your old gear may be fine. but you may not be maximizing its or your potential. The site is partial to tube amps, but aren't we all? Let's face it, good gear is the frosting on the cake that is you. You are the instrument, or you are the cake....or something like that.
