It just goes to show how Great SRV was and is. He didn't need a ton of effects to sound amazing. Simple pure talent makes SRV the greatest guitar player ever.

@Lucasherrero Volume at 10, 4.5 bass, 7 treble, and around 3 on mid.

0:48 those may well be Majors on the right in the pic, but that's a JCM on the left.

DUMBLES ARE PRICELESS !!

PS - Check out my "It's A Texas Thing" video and you can hear the Marshall with no effects.

Call Kendrick Amps in Plugerville Texas and they will help you. I use a 1978 50 Watt Marshall head converted to EL-34 power tubes with a hot bias setting which will shorten the life of the tubes with a 4/12 cab cranked hard. Also use heavy gauge strings tuned to E flat/D sharp. The biggest part of Stevie's sound was his style of playing. He played extremely hard. His guitar tech once stated that he had to work on that old #1 after every show. Good luck.

The marshall major was the 200 watt version plexi.

It is a custom Hamilton that was given to him in '84 or '85 by Billy Gibbons.

Not sure what to tell you. I'm more of a Fender guy when it comes to amps. Not real familiar with Marshall. I could tell you what Stevie would say. "Tune low, play hard, and floor it, floor it."
