Rig guide

Stevie Ray Vaughan

TGP describes Stratocasters, heavy strings, frequent E-flat tuning, tube-amp headroom and a Tube Screamer midrange push. The attack and dynamics of the player remain central.

Rig guide

Eddie Van Halen

TGP traces the brown sound to a parts-built Frankenstrat with a bridge humbucker, a Marshall Super Lead, MXR Phase 90 and Echoplex EP-3. The historical Variac technique is context, not an amp-modification recommendation.

Rig guide

Jimi Hendrix

TGP documents a right-handed Stratocaster flipped and restrung, Marshall Super Lead stacks, and Fuzz Face, Uni-Vibe, wah and Octavia effects. Rhythm, feedback and touch are part of the picture, not just the hardware.

Rig guide

David Gilmour

TGP associates Gilmour with the black Strat, Hiwatt amplification, Big Muff and delay. Space, sustain and phrasing guide these suggestions. Hiwatt is the documented amp; the Fender combos below are alternative clean platforms.
