The Twin is way too much for home or small venues. If a Reeves with power scaling is too expensive, there are several smaller amps than have great clean tones to use as a base. The 22w Fender Deluxe Reverb is good. The Mesa Express 5:25 and 15w Fender Blues Jr are good too. The 40w Fender Blues Deluxe and Peavey classic 30 are great amps too, but on the loud side.

how you learn this ?????? respect

@MrCercami

By ear. I learned it back in '06, but I'm sure someone has tabbed it by now if you google it.

Are your toneknobs etc aged white ?

[kitraefantasyart]

@EspNik

Yes, I think all the plastic parts are aged white.

Hi kitrae,

congratulations for you sound and wonderful site. Was that fender twin very loud? I am looking to buy one for gilmour tones. Less expensive than a Reeves...

But for home and small venues use I am afraid it is too much....no power scaling also...

Need some help in here....Deluxe Reverb maybe?? (am afraid it does not have the headroom needed...). Hot Rod Deluxe?

Thanks,

LC.

I also upgraded my stratocaster like yours, but i got a question for you. Are your pickup plates aged white?, and does the same goes for ur volume/tone knobs. at the moment mine are standard white, but i thought gilmour has aged white? Thanks in advance

I don't have any bad EFI/RMI sources nearby so I don't hear it as much as other people, but when playing in a band or at home to a backing track it is not noticeable anyway. I just cut the guitar volume in between songs, and try to keep from pointing my guitar in the direction it picks up the most interference.
