Robben is flat amazing. I got to hang with him and help him pick out the sunburst Les Paul he used to use. I told him one of my favorite tones was the tone he got on "The Work Song". He looked at me quizzically and said "really" and proceeded to tell me he used none of his own gear, that he used Garth Webber's Super, the Japanese yellow Fender RF that he gave Garth, and Garth's yellow Boss overdrive. Another time I witnessed him at a soundcheck at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz some 20 years ago where he brought just his guitar and used the equipment of a friend of mine named Jerry Cortez (killer player). I watched while Jerry explained the equipment (Boogie, volume pedal, Boss chorus). He fooled with it for a minute or two and proceeded to kill that night. He always figures out a way to come close to his tone.
RS, thanks for the personal experience with Robben anecdote. Very interesting and I'm sure many will agree- very fortunate! And, to be associated with Garth Webber, man, you are certainly connected. I wanna party with you! [Haven't said that trademark expression of mine for a while, but I'm serious!]
Please, tell us more, so we can be "wicked" (Boston verbiage) jealous!
