I found only general statements regarding this topic. Like JTM and SL+ for a jack of all trades sound.
Looking for specific ideas on achieving the pre-Gallien Krueger Lifeson tones, ala his Hiwatt and Club n' Country days. As much as I listen to Rush's early music, I am not really in touch with what that guitar tone is, other than "clean", and I have NO experience on a Hiwatt amp of any kind.
Some information is around about what he used, but the detailed info is more for the 90's-2k's sound.
Aside from the requisite vintage pedals, looking for module or settings advice from others who have attempted to get these tones.
I understand that Dave F. modified a TopBoost for the Linkin Park guitar player to have a Hiwatt sound. I just acquired an example of THE vintage Boss Chorus pedal, and am looking at a TopBoost that is for sale. Also hunting, reverb, phaser, and delay pedals in that order.
Would the considerable wisdom of this message board please weigh in.
thanks,
Dave
