Phil_GMC Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hello folks, I've been given a task by my instructor to play a reggae solo over a backing. Any ideas/tips or do any of you have a patch you would be willing to share for a Bob Marley solo sound? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADBrown Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I believe Junior Marvin played through a Roland JC-120, and some of Bob's other guitarist used Twins a long with a few other cleanish amps .A Twin plus an overdrive pedal, definitely some wah, and perhaps some reverb and possibly delay to taste is a good starting point. Let me know if you need any more assistance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Not my wheelhouse, but my memory is also very clean, JC120 sounds right. Any Youtube samples of what you're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_GMC Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thank you for your help, Something like THIS I think, I find cleaner tones sometimes tricky for some reason. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'd try the Script Mod Phase in front of an amp running a little dirty, maybe a Fender or the Silvertone? That solo's not as clean as what I was thinking of, which is more the JC120 hyper-clean thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADBrown Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Just because it happens to be my favorite amp model... the Litigator model could also worked if you set it for just a bit of bite and added in a modulation effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_GMC Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks, I'll try that. I've always just used my own sound, clean, crunch, dirty and filthy but now I'm getting more into the labyrinth that is tone chasing and the big thing is learning how each effect affects the tone and works with other effects.
