danUnderhill Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 Does anyone have any guidance for creating the basis of some of those fantasic guitar tones that David Lindley provided on so many great Jackson Browne songs? I'm looking at recording some covers of "On The Boulevard" and "These Days" and just want to get a headstart for the general setup to get me close. I'm not looking for a perfect match, but something close that can be tweaked is ideal. I'm using a Helix Floor. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack5968 Posted December 6, 2024 Share Posted December 6, 2024 Jackson Brown had an original Dumble made for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danUnderhill Posted December 15, 2024 Author Share Posted December 15, 2024 Thanks for that, and I know that those are utterly uniquely sounding amps, however the question persists, does anyone have any tips to finding a reasonable compromise with the Helix Floor? Again, I'm not going for perfection, but rather just something in the ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulTBaker Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 maybe try the new Xtra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avrakas Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 not sure if you ever found an answer but Im sure you know that DL was often playing a lap steel or pedal steel on those songs, so maybe part of what we think of there are the overtones and/or open tunings? not super helpful, but maybe a place to start for that tone. Its iconic and I rarely hear it duplicated by cover bands thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
