Robben Ford Discussion

Love it, thanks! I miss that tone, as well... Robben used it a lot when I heard him in clubs in LA in the 80's. Slight compression, slight chorus, slight delay, dumble with a 2x12. He played a strat s ...

Such beautiful work! If I could ever figure out what I really needed on my board, I would be lining up! Looks like you are staying busy with all the great pros' needs. Thanks for raising this stuff to ...

[That was 1984 or so, and the amp was a Dumble in suede covering back then. Agreed, one of his best tones ever, he played a couple of Strats (a vintage one and a modern one with a black pickguard, if ...

I was just thinking how much I loved Robben's tone in the 80's in clubs in LA when he was playing a strat pretty exclusively for a couple of years. In retrospect, I think there was a Dumble on stage ...

Patrick definitely appeared to be working while he was there on Friday and saturday.

SuperReverb2, did you ask the tech about Landau playing through a Hot Rod Deville? I had one for a while, at 60 ...

I had the pleasure of heading to Seattle this weekend with my wife and best guitar playing buddy and his wife, to catch the Ford/Landau/Haslip/Novak conglomeration for the late set on friday and both ...

Daved,

My best guitar playing buddy and I drove over to Seattle from Spokane yesterday for the saturday night shows at Jazz Alley. (Saw you there hustling around, but you looked very busy, otherwi ...

This is too much, I thought I was the only one who gets tongue-tied, acts strange, etc. around musical heroes! I've met Robben maybe 6 or 7 times over the past 20 years, but never in a way that left ...

Jeff was amazing - no excuses for that tone and touch. Of course, his unconventional playing style got a lot of attention, but if you set the technique aside, there's some incredible phrasing and mus ...

Okay, it came today, I've just put it through it's paces on my pedal board, between my RC and the Shredmaster. Conclusion: Shredmaster wins by a good margin. ( I knew it, dang it!) I was really hop ...

Hi, bongo!

Don't quote me, but I think I've been on it since spring of last year (?). I wrote to Alf again in april or may and asked to make sure I was on the list, but he didn't respond to that em ...

Hey, Hey, Hey! I just received an email from Alf Hermida - I've been on the list for so long, I thought I'd been lost and decided to forget about the Zendrive, but I made it to the top of the list, s ...

Hey, Strong Persuader!

Good advice - the BB is next on my list, actually. I love the RC but mostly use it on single coils - wonderful pedal! The AC is not getting me excited and I've had it for a ...

Like a lot of players, I am unlikely to ever play through a Dumble in my lifetime. Having said that, I am always interested in what pedals and amps people are playing with currently, in an attempt to ...

I agree! Which is why I had David Allen (allenamps.com) build me an "Old Flame" - his take on a Super chassis in a 2x10, 1X12 or 1X15 open back cab.... I converted mine from a 2X10 to a 1X ...
