Emulating The Tone of Garcia Project
Phase 1
The goal of this project is to profile various rigs specifically aimed at emulating the tone of the late Jerry Garcia. Today's kickoff features two profiles of a quintessential Garcia rig:
Macintosh 50 Power Amp > Sarno Music Solutions SMS Classic (modified Fender Twin Head) > Custom 2x12 Hardtrucker Mimic cabinet with 2 JBL K120s.
Two profiles have been uploaded to the rig exchange:
- JGarcia Rig 01102515: slight bit of gain/breakup
- JGarcia Rig 02102515: clean & crisp
The guitar used for profiling was a custom Carvin DC400 'Wolf' with OBEL (On Board Effects Loop) and Waldo Buffer TPC-1. http://www.wald-electronics.com/
