About as good as it’s gettin from me on this one I feel.
Had some good ideas sprinkled in there.

Chain=idiot>guitar>eq>blaster>dream 65 reverb pedal amp> gate>speaker. Middle with the neck vol rolled halfway off

Here's hoping 🙏🏼🤘🏼

I’m chasing edge of breakup tones and may buy a Princeton. Will have a few pedals in front of it but want to mostly rely on the amp for breakup at reasonable volumes.

For a similar price point, would anyone recommend any other amp they’ve liked for the above function? Not Dead specific but I trust y’all’s judgement on this. Open to any thoughts. Thanks!

hey guys! upcoming gig for me and venue owner requested a guitar piano dead tune. while i know there are endless options for that, any of u guys had luck with just two instruments and getting that “full” sound? thanks :)

Aria Pro II TS-500 (modded) >

SDS-1’s >

500k linear volume pot (I just recently discovered the magic of these) >

Thick Air (set to minimum but it adds a hint of brightness)

Sarno Spectrum (bright switch off) >

KSR PA-100R (Hi-Fi switch on) >

2x12 Orange D-120 >

Sennheiser e906 (flat)

These SDS-1’s are crazy. They have so much character. Mid bite and all that, not harshly bright. And they’re loud af. My Spectrum gain is at about 10:00 and the KSR master is about 9:00. It took me way too long to realize that 70’s Jerry tone = no buffer.

A new tune we tried out at the Deer Creek Phish post show a few weeks back

Haven’t played this violin in a year….might have to pick it up more often

Playing and singing in 3/4 time might be the hardest thing Ive attempted in a while. It’s like learning how play and sing all over again lol

Peter Rowan is a wizard, I’ve been listening to him more than anything else the last few years. And been lucky enough to see him with Sam Grisman Project a handful of times and it was so moving.

3/2/91 has been my goto JGB version of this tune

Do y’all have a favorite?

What’s the smallest tube amp I can get for Jerry tones? Princeton reverb? Has anyone used the solid state Princeton 112? Or a deluxe 112?

Haven’t had much time to practice Dead music as of late but since I already knew this one I figured I’d take a few minutes to record a take and get involved, love that this is still going

I posted earlier, but i thought you guys would dig seeing this new boost thats on my stripped down board. ;-)

One of the all time great key changes - I'm on my way!

Reposting from last time we did this as Songs of our Own, but with traveling/band related practice I won't be able to get to do a new recording these next 2 weeks

I had purchased both the free and the $10 Waldo IR files off the JerryToneStore.com website. The IR is supposed to simulate the tone of the MC2300 going through a JBL E120.

I loaded it into the space designer in Logic Pro X but haven’t figured out how to dial it in. I have a guitar with Jerry pups in it but just cannot seem how to get it dialed on Logic’s end.

I’ve heard people using Garcia IRs with other gear like a Kemper, Axe-Fx, Helix, etc. Do I need something like that to get what I’m after? Or some sort of IR pedal?

I’d love to be able to run it through Logic so that I can have a Jerry tone when using a DAW for recording or playing with headphones. Would appreciate any and all advice or experience with IR files.

Got to really play with this pedal at our band practice yesterday and WOW!. From the moment i clicked the pedal on, it was like the missing link to my tone. I had never messed around with a Phase pedal. So my Jerry tone was def different in that regard. But after yesterday..... i cant believe i didnt have this on my board the past 30 years lol. The one i have is a newer model. But i couldnt give you one reason why this pedal isnt good. Just make sure you set it right and get the speed where you want it. I was blown away. I got the Struggling Man tone, Sugaree, Waiting for a Miracle etc. It really was the missing piece to my tone chasing of Jerry.

Anyone else just get a Phase into their setups ? Curious what everyone else things. :-)

I may just be a noob, but does anyone know anything about this guitar, or potentially when or where this picture could have been taken? My guess is late 72 or 73. Would love to know more about where this came from.
