Anyone tell me what amps and toys he uses?

**izzy** · 11-02-2009, 03:59 PM

I'd guess from the tone on the vids I've heard (admittedly not a lot) straight into a twin or super reverb.

Hey voo, i seen albert in the 93,94 he was using music man amps and a delay unit.... If memory serves correct. I think he might use riveras at times now. Maybe someone else knows for sure i have been out of the loop for awhile.

I have a Rivera Quiana and that tone is FAR from anything Ive been able to dial in heh

I don't have true single coils (the DGT has coil taps) and I truly believe that tone is 90% in the fingers but still should be able to get close

Thanks Spud. Those are up close and personal photos. I forgot you were there. Does he play loud?

**robelinda2** · 11-02-2009, 05:29 PM

Yes he plays LOUD! When I saw him he had a Twin reverb, his trusty Korg delay and his AL. VERY clean and LOUD!

Hi Travs
I've been lucky to meet up with Al a few times- at a soundcheck, after gigs, at the UK Knucklehead bash, I even had a quick chat with him whilst in a breakfast queue when he was playing in the Rhythm Kings and staying at the same hotel in Liverpool (I was cool about it and spoke to him without drawing attention to him - infact we had a great chat and I couldn't get a word in edgeways!)
The close up of his Fender and settings was taken at the soundcheck in Cardiff when his crew allowed me on stage.

I've seen him in small and medium sized venues and I would,t say that he plays overly loud - but he doesn't miss a note.
He's got big hands for a small bloke !!
