sLiDe on 06/14/2013	Hello, and I'm glad I found you guys. PG is a class publication. I'm new here and just wanted to say that your information is spot on. Clearly "experts" and "pros" aswering the questions which is refreshing. I love Jimmie's tone so much that I went out and purchased PRS's since I heard Jimmy with the JID line up way back when...but IMHO his tone on all the JID stuff is just absolutely INSANE! And what I strive for in my three piece instrumental fusion trio. Joel were you working with Jimmy during these years (JID)and would you happen to know what gear including what PRS guitars he was using? I did recently secure a Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor and that is one bad ass machine. It really did get me in the gneral area but there is something missing.....and I don't mean Jimmy's fingers! Thanks to you in advance Joel and See you at the next WSP show, Peace, sLiDe from Gainesville
Jim on 10/15/2012	Does anyone have contact info for Bill DeLap? Thanks.
Brett on 10/08/2012	Lol, it is just an American Standard, nothing special...oh, just Dunlop flatted the neck and the Loller pick ups. Just an average Strat.
gibstrat on 10/07/2012	great stuff and his first solo cd "lifeboat" is great also!
Joel Byron on 10/06/2012	Brooke, the monitor rig is used with Widespread Panic. Jimmy rarely uses monitors with his solo project. The stages are smaller and he likes to hear the band as it is. In response to other questions; the preamp tubes are NOS GE as is the rectifier tube. The Normal channel preamp tube has been pulled and the Tremelo has been disconnected on the Super Reverb. This gives more gain and fidelity to the Bright channel, which Jimmy prefers.
Steve on 10/05/2012	Great rundown and a super nice guy. I run a very similar rig but with an old Marshall JMP.
Brooke on 10/05/2012	I was looking for this the other day! Great rundown! Jimmy seems like a down to earth guy. I was curious to see his multi-volume pedal monitor system that PG reported on last year. Follow up video?
Joel Byron on 10/04/2012	I think the power tubes are Svetlana Winged C 6L6's. The rectifier is new old stock. Not sure about the brand of the rectifier or the preamp tubes. Jimmy uses V-picks, Large Lite Pointed. The other guitars are as follows. The brown Strat belongs to Jimmy's FOH engineer, Rush Anderson, it has Lollar single coils for humbucker pickups. Rush brought it for Jimmy to check out on that tour. Jimmy now has a black Warmoth Strat with those pickups in it that he's using instead of the Tele. The second "guitar" is actually a 6-String Modulus that belongs to Neal Fountain, the bass player in Jimmys's band. The blue Tele is my guitar. I bring it as a personal guitar to play in hotels.
ol goob on 10/04/2012	Well, that ol Jimmy is just a nice ol feller with a nice ol tone, ain't he?
RJR on 10/04/2012	What a lovely gentleman. Regarding the Strat, you can use a 1 meg pot for the second pot as a volume for only the neck pickup, where the neck pickup volume pot is before the pickup selector switch. Then, you would wire the first pot as a master volume for both pickups after the selector switch, and keep the third pot as the master tone. This way, you can back off the neck pickup volume pot and keep the desired neck/bridge mix ratio, while controlling the overall volume of the mix with the master volume control, where the on-floor volume pedal is no longer needed. The neck pickup would "see" an individual volume and a master volume, just as each pickup on a vintage Gretsch 6120 does.
