Dr.Z Route66 and Telecaster chicken pickin'

Not much of a country player, but I thought I'd show what the Rt.66 does for overdriven country tones. It's way different from a blackface Fender, that's fer darn sure.

that overdrive aint doing it for me! Does the clean sound nice? Nice picking btw

[beckanon]

I can understand that, now worries. This amp wants to overdrive.  You can get some nice clean settings at lower volumes, but it is definitely not a fender-clean sounding amp.

Can it play clean at all? want a amp like that so bad, but it need to play clean as well???

[beckanon]

It does clean as long as the band you are with doesn't play terribly loud. This amp wants to growl always. You may want something a little cleaner than this one.

I'm watching all your videos, and really am inspired by your great playing and the wonderful tone of the route 66 amp. I now think I'll save up and get myself one of these babies!

[beckanon]

Thanks, I'm glad you find something useful from these clips. That's why I did 'em. I hope you enjoy the Rt66 as much as I do.

I use my fingers with a thumb pick or flat pick. James Burton for example uses a finger pick on his index finger and thumb pick. Mason uses a thumb pick with his fingers. As Brent Mason has told me many times in a debate on how to play things, play it however it feels natural or comfortable. the minute you try to look for the best way, you'll never find it. make it sound correct but play it how it feels comfortable.
