Convention: Who Played On What?

Bob Snelgrove · Post by **Bob Snelgrove** » 31 Aug 2003 9:58 am

I'm curious about what guitars the following players used:

Buddy Emmons

Terry Bethel (best tone imho)

John Hughey

Sara Jory

Did everyone use the same (Peavey) amps?

Did they use separate rack/effects units?

thx,

bob

I wasn't there, but I betcha JD was playing a P/P.

J.D. played a push/pull as did Larry Sasser, Walter Haynes and Randy Beavers. There might have been more but those are ones that I remember.

Congratulations to all the players at the Convention, fabulous quality playing by everyone involved. I particularly enjoyed Jeff Newman's tribute to Jimmy Day on Friday....IP

The only ones I remember that used amps OTHER than the Peavey 1000's on stage were;
Sarah Jory, Nashville 400 and Tom Brumley, Fender and another amp (can't remember which) in stereo.
Anyone else remember as far as amps go?

Dyke Corson · Post by **Dyke Corson** » 31 Aug 2003 7:33 pm

JD Used two old Evans amps w/ bw speakers, Herby used his usual rack setup with 15" bws, Hal used a DPC 750, Mesa pre-amp with two 15" BW cabs (maybe a Lexicon fx unit?), Crawford used two Nashville 400s, Joan & Johnny Cox used Marrs 15" cabs w/ Walker amp?? that's all I remember right now, but I did not hear bad tone out of anyone! It was a great weekend!

Walter used a Legrande III.

If memory serves, and sometimes it doesn't, Sarah Jory plays an Excel I believe. No matter, she sounded great on
whatever it is.

It was a white EMCI. She did a little show in the Peavey room and said she had stole parts from the C6th to keep the E9th neck going!

Dale Dorsey · Post by **Dale Dorsey** » 1 Sep 2003 6:27 am

I didn't see the show but I am pretty sure Tom Brumley would have used his 59 Fender Bassman amp.

Bobby Lee · Post by **Bobby Lee** » 1 Sep 2003 7:34 am

Of course Jay Dee Maness played a push-pull Emmons.
And Lloyd Green played his Sho-Bud.
And Tom Brumley played his Anapeg and a Rickenbacker Frypan.
And Herby Wallace played his Mullen.

All what you would expect...

Cindy Cashdollar played a triple neck Remington with a real mellow tone. It contrasted nicely with Herb's pedal Remington, which made it easy to tell who was playing which notes (they did a duet set).

Al Brisco played a Carter.
John Hughey played a ZumSteel.

Sorry for the confusion Herb and Dyke...
Must have brain fatigue from the long weekend. I stand corrected...

Brumley had an Evans on his right and his '69 Twin with 2-12" JBL's on his left. The Anapeg had a new single coil pickup in it.

I knew that. I guess my brain was fried, too. It was a bakelite Rick, not a frypan. I heard him tune it, and I think it was E C A G E C# C.

What amps/processor did Buddy use?

thx

bob

Dyke Corson · Post by **Dyke Corson** » 1 Sep 2003 8:54 pm

Buddy used two Nashville 1000s and a Digitech processor sitting on a chair..

Roger Rettig · Post by **Roger Rettig** » 2 Sep 2003 2:06 am

What sort of chair?

Budd Kelley · Post by **Budd Kelley** » 2 Sep 2003 3:28 am

Yes - be more specific, please. Was it a folding chair? Was is cushioned? What color was the chair? We need full equipment descriptions!

Buddy Emmons · Post by **Buddy Emmons** » 2 Sep 2003 4:47 am

The color of the chair escapes me but it was foldable and soft enough to absorb the shock of accidentally dropping it on the cushion during my haste. I meant to get the manufacturer's name on the bottom but time wouldn't permit. A thousand pardons for the oversight, but it got hectic for me at times. I had three radar guns, a search warrant, and two posses standing by and still couldn't find my rear end on some of the tunes, so a chair was the least of my worries.
As for the processor, it was a Digitech Genesis lll. It was a loaner from Jimmy Crawford, similar to the Pod, and from what I've heard, being phased out. I met a dealer in the audience that told me there's a blowout sale on them currently, so I liked it well enough to order two from him. I believe they're less than $150.00. The amp settings I used on the 1000s were all flat, or at twelve o'clock.

Does anyone know which Digitech processer Buddy was using? I think he used a 2112 for a while, is he using it again?

Here's the Genesis: http://www.digitech.com/products/genesis3.htm

Buddy,

Which amp model did you like?

thx

Buddy Emmons · Post by **Buddy Emmons** » 2 Sep 2003 8:21 am

Thank you for the site info, Bob. I don't have the Genesis near so I can't give you that information. Before coming to the convention, I set the Peavey 1000 knobs on flat and rolled the Genesis controls around until it got good to me. When I get everything unpacked, I'll take a look at the settings.
