| Godfrey Townsend, lead guitarist
and vocalist for The John Entwistle Band comments exclusively on his
guitar rig... "I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with Roger Bell who has been guitar tech for Steve Vai and others for many years....he was very helpful at showing me ways to avoid signal loss....as a result, I started using an A/B box to send a seperate signal to my tuner instead of running it in line....He also knew that I wasn't comfortable playing through the Trace Elliot gear....he described it perfectly by saying that the Trace gear was unforgiving....(much harder to get your tones and a struggle to play through)....He agreed that the Peavey 5150 amps were much more my style and I did use them at Woodstock '99 as Peavey was sponsoring the stage....as a result, I will probably go back to using Peavey 5150's next time out....Roger also offered to help me design a working rig after the tour....as it is now, I don't use any pedals or midi devices....I mostly use one program on the Eventide which is basically some chorus, delay and reverb... |
As far as my setup goes....I was using the Speed Twin as a main head and running a send into the Eventide in stereo...I was then coming out of the Eventide in stereo and running to the right Bonneville head and the left Bonneville head....so, it was a dry, uneffected stack in the middle with left and right effected half stacks on both sides in stereo....sounds really big when it's spread out.... I will be happy to answer any other questions or inquiries anyone might have about equipment, playing or anything....please forward me any future inquiries...btw, I am in the process of setting up my own website with photos, info and music very soon...."
