"Pure Blues" rigs...

Guitartone · Feb 16th 2012

Try them or dump them, but I think you should try them.
I love them, my studio monitors have never sounded like this before.

I took Manfred's "Pure Blues" rig, using the Matchless Chieftan (incredible Profile).
I changed the Cab to Christian Vedder's Engl 412 Pro using a KSM313 and SM57.
Then I added my usual Compressor on stomp 1 and Pure Boost on stomp 2.

They sound great with a Les Paul, and just as good in a different way with a Tele.
If you don't own a Tele then don't plug a Tele into the KPA, because you'll immediately put one on your shopping list.

Thank you!

Pure blues is one of my favourites with my Les Paul, my Strat and my P90s guitar.

I'll never try it with a Tele!!!

Oh sure, pull the other leg!

I mean it's already a stretch that the Kemper does what it does but now you're trying to tell me there are guitars in existence which are somehow not Telecasters?

Serial number 3? Wow!!! From what year?

ajs · Feb 16th 2012

It's from 1981.

Best guess by Peter Mac ( one of the Tokai gurus) is that it was a straight ST100 which had probably belonged to a Japanese rock star who'd taken it back to Tokai for customisation.

The serial is cool but we don't think it's accurate.

Wow... I'm a huge Tokai (actually, any Golden Era MIJ made guitar) fan. Awesome guitar!

Awesome, and look at these feet

ajs · Feb 16th 2012

Those pics are from the guy I bought the guitar from, I'm thinking he's either extremely tall or else they're his kids feet.

Nice rigs, GT, been playing them most of the afternoon today. Well, one of 'em...as usual I find a sound I like then hours go by, heh.

There are now great sounding *noiseless* pickups for Telies and Strats. I could never go onstage with single coil pickups because the all the lights and wireless mics create *so much* hum and RF - I would *always* recommend noiseless pickups!
