Hey Marty log time fan you should take a look at Mathew Scott’s CZcams channel. This kid can play the blues and has awesome srv and Hendrix tone check him out. This is not a plug just sharing information man
You could buy one used or if you have the space you can crank the amp. The first tube screamer is used to emulate a cranked clean amp tone and second is to push it into a drive. Especially if you have an amp with a good master volume control just dim the clean volume and turn the master as low as you need that’s how I get an srv tone. I use a boss katana
SRV didn't always have the same set up, yet he always had that trademark SRV sound. The real "secret" is a combination of three factors: Turning the amp WAY up, THICK strings, and your pick hand and attack have to be incredibly precise and STRONG.
I disagree on the strings. Stevie went to 11-12 strings and nobody noticed. Hand strength (attack), Amps (more than one), Pickups (High gain) are the primary metrics.
@@mikejohns3104 didn’t see any of that in this video. This was some kind of tube screamer looper cheese vid for schoolers. Your right on the strings, you need at least 11’s IMHO
Agree with everything except the strings. You can get the tone with even light gauge strings. Don't forget to tune down a half step which makes a major difference (no pun intended). The amp and speakers, in my opinion, for most important in his rig, followed by tuber screamers then pickups and the rest of the guitar. You can play an amazing guitar do a crappy and speaker / cabinet and it will sound crappy. You can play a crappy guitar through a great amp and speaker / cabinet and it will sound much better than the other way around.
For those that don’t want to buy two OD pedals, just dial a little gain and extra brightness onto your channel and use the pickup volume to clean it up when needed, and the OD pedal for the dirt when needed.
SRV never ever used Texas special pickups. He had a 62 strat with 59 pickups in it and he commonly referred to his #1 as a 59 because of that. So in reality he used low output pickups. His sound came from heavy strings, amps cranked to the moon, and his hands. Texas specials where created by fender to try an emulate that tone. They came out many years after his death.
Marty your videos are always top notch. Just a thought, I'd love to see a smaller window showing the pedals so we can actually see you playing the tasty licks. Awesome vid, appreciate all you do and I know I wouldn't be as good on guitar without your videos. Thanks mate, 🤘🤙
The pickups srv used were the original 1959 fender pickups. Stevies number 1 Strat was actually a partscaster, made up of a 1963 body, a 1962 neck, a 70s black pick guard and 1959 pickups
It very much depends on the guitar you're using. Also guitar cable length (the longer it is, the less high end your sound will have), where you pick the strings and even the pick thickness. Not to mention the amp. So really, just play around until you get something you like. Cheers
Same dude, I was in school and take our phones, so I open a CZcams tab in the background and just let it run, SRV came on with Little wing for the first time in a while. Crazy man
Marty, I’ve been watching you channel since last year when I started playing guitar. You’ve helped me so so much and I can thank you enough. It’s so cool to see you and your channel grow.
@@51MontyPython As an amazing musician as he was he was also versatile: he definitely used the neck only position, but his trademark sound comes mainly from the 2nd one.
Yes, that's correct - Texas Specials were devised to approximate the sound of Stevie's #1 Strat. Those were stock and most likely from '59 or early '60s.
@@larrygeetar9309 yep and they opened up the pickups on stevies guitars and the pickups were not over wound like some expected. They were completely stock strat pickups
I'd go with an amp that has a power scaling option. I can crank the volume and put the master at about 12 on mine, but dial the power really low so it simulates a cranked tube amp but at a sonically low volume. From there, pick a tube screamer style pedal and crank the volume as much as you can. Your pushing force is going to come from the pedal. I use a vox valvetronix 40 for the amp, and a vox flat 4 boost for the pedal. I love this pedal because you have a mid boost, as well as a low and high knob for dialing it in just right. And it has an actual 12AX7 tube built INTO the pedal. I get a pretty close tone in a bedroom setting this way. I also go with another pedal for the more high-gain stuff he does (mostly the live performances). I have no choice but to do this because I'm playing at a level only a little louder than a smartphone speaker. But I get pretty close tones either way. But Stevie didn't use two, no matter what Marty says, although this is what we have to resort to. He used a loud amp and only one pedal. Hope it helps
@@51MontyPython If you do then you'd constantly have to fiddle with it using your feet. And its not like you wanna duck down to turn the knob during a big solo break either. And its less about gain but literally just pushing with as much level as you can get away with because the gain doesn't give me the sustain i want. Its the level being pushed. SRV had one to three different gain stages between his amps and pedals so it makes sense to just have a few gain stages as well. Especially since you cant turn it up like SRV in a bedroom setting. And having a separate pedal means I can tweak the tone a little better. Some pedals change the tone when you up the gain sometimes so its nice to able to compensate with a separate tone knob or two depending on your pedals of choice. And the first pedal is more like a "cranked tube amp" sounds, since the pedal I use literally has a 12AX7 right smack in the middle of the circuit. Takes to the amp I use really well since they're built from the ground up using the same/ very similar technology (Vox Valvetronix 40+). You can even feel the tube heat up a bit the more you use it. Then I use a Screamer for the solos with more gain like his live gigs where he turns all of his amps to ten. Its not really high gain as in Metallica, but more so cranking the level to the point of adding more gain, but not a large amount of it. But since every amp reacts differently with certain pedals, the method is likely to change. But if I want to get a slightly higher gain sound from the get go like Philip Sayce's tone, then I'd actually crank the gain a bit on the first pedal. But then again everything is also to taste
Excellent , As has been proven for what seems to be the ages -Kudos great Job. Have a few old timers tunes been curious about and can not find decent tutorials on . Maybe you can be the torch bearer :) Blackfoot - Ricky Medlock and the boys. Another Jax Fl great along with Skynerd,Hatchet etc . Highway Song and/or Gotta Line On you - Can some what play/play at each but need the real deal and with your knowledge of Rock -N Roll that spans the decades and golden years of rock you are the got to guy. Thanks Marty for all you provide here and on Marty Music etc . You are highly valued !
You can also get the tone, with one overdrive pedal, tube screamer whatever you call it, set your pedal with the drive all the way up, tone at 3-4, and volume all the way up, and you got a nice Texas Tone.
I use a Stratocaster, with a tone master twin, Ibanez Tube Screamer and a Boss Blues Driver. Sounds great! Blues driver gives you your highs and the tube screamer helps the low ends
I enjoyed the background music. I understand what people mean by it being distracting but I think you had a great volume for it so for me it wasn’t distracting it was quite pleasant.
I think that playing a bit more aggressively with the right hand could improve the tone quite a lot. You'd be surprised how much of his tone comes from his technique.
What a fine player you are Marty! I dont think his tone was that hard to get or even his to begin with. You'll always get close with a single coil on the neck, a nice valve amp dialed in either close to break up or with a pedal pushing it there.
I obviously love all your stuff, and I think these gear videos are awesome, now if I could only afford said gear! I do have enough saved up for the Marty looper once its available!!
Awesome jam... I don’t know if quite the SRV tone ...but then Again my iPad speakers , not a good representation of room tone ... this is first I’ve hear SRV using two green monsters at same time .. I like it
Well, nice play...but to get the SRV tone you need a loud Vibroverb/Super Reverb, and when i mean loud, its LOUD, full blast, and you'll probably have problems with your neighbours...but its the real deal
Hey Marty do you think this would work with tube screamer clone? Specifically, the Behringer vintage tube overdrive? Love your stuff too. Keep it coming. Us old beginners need all the help we can get.
SRV's cover of little wing is one of his most beloved and famous tracks. He played it love for years and recorded several versions in the studio. His cover is one of the things he's most famous for, because he turned it into an instrumental. Actual SRV fans know this. Even people who aren't huge fans but just mildly like him know that.
Great video and demo as usual ;-) Just wondering why amps builders don't produce THE blues sound so we don't have to plug a pedal into them... I mean is there any guitar player using a raw amp?
Marty, I have great respect for you and think it's great that you share lessons for free. It's my understandng that SRV used the Ts808 more than people thought. We just don't have his hands/touch (Ugh!). I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but for some that don't know, SRV played in the neck position often. Not quite his sound here, But an excellent effort and a good lesson!
Push those mids up- way past noon- to get that jangly spank. Bring the drives up at least a tic on both TS’s: it chokes out otherwise. One thing that cannot be understated was the volume he played - WAFO. Pre amp can be heard begging for mercy. You should literally hear the filaments rattle. About the only way to sim this tone at the house without going deaf is to dial up the drive and max the mids. Nice work hoss
Tube Screamers - over-rated, over-priced & under-powered. I use a Boss BD-2 into a Boss DS-1 (and a Fender Twin - very loud & very clean). Adjust levels according to gig, size of room, PA capabilities & style of music. Many happy soundmen & patrons. And I'm pleased with the tones I can get.
This is a decent approach. But Stevies sound was single channel bf fender style amp EXTREMELY loud, a Strat, and a TS style to boost, no overdrive. Biggest thing is volume, which most people can’t achieve in their bedrooms.
I disbelieve that SRV had two tube screamers. I’ve seen his pedal board. I never saw two of them though He might have did it at some time in his career. To me the TS7 is the best tube screamer even though SRV didn’t use a TS7. He never played Texas special pickups. If you had alnico 5 pickups and thick Heavy gauge strings you might have got way closer. Even the fret board on the guitar matters. All the wood on the guitar matters as much a pickups. Marty you’re a great teacher, but this video is misleading. People will go out and spend all that money thinking they’ll nail that tone only to be either disappointed or too tone deaf to hear a difference. SRV tone is a technical thing. He’s a tonal genius dude.
i agree, SRV's tone was just mainly cranked fender amps and even without a TS still sound big and overdriven, he started with just guitar into amps early in his career, the TS was just for clean boost and to tighten the low end, 2 TS will just cut too much low and high and too muffled in my opinion.
@@stratocaster8434 yeah but his pickups were alnico 5 with 13” gauge strings. Later in his career the 13’s were starting to tare his fingers off. He then put 11”s on there to ease up the pain but he lost that tonal quality he was looking for. What he did was he called up Renne addressed that situation and he rewound the alnico’s” with more copper than before to retain that sound he had when he was playing the 13” gauge strings. That was the only way for him.
So after watching so many videos that rambled on you got it right and to the point of setting the amp then the pedals. The only thing you didn’t advise is the guitar knob settings? Are you just cranking the volume on guitar ? Are you using the tone knobs on guitar ? Please advise Great job you instruct well 👍

My question; if they were trying to emulate his tone, then why on earth did they use the exact opposite output pickups for the Texas Specials?
@@51MontyPython because Fender wanted to get rid of the need for a tube screamer, thus making the SRV sound achieved with only fender gear
You need to remember that as all pickups were hand wound back than so the tone varied a lot between rigs
Sorry between guitars

I disbelieve that SRV had two tube screamers. I’ve seen his pedal board. I never saw two of them though He might have did it at some time in his career. To me the TS7 is the best tube screamer even though SRV didn’t use a TS7.
He never played Texas special pickups. If you had alnico 5 pickups and thick Heavy gauge strings you might have got way closer. Even the fret board on the guitar matters. All the wood on the guitar matters as much a pickups.
Marty you’re a great teacher, but this video is misleading. People will go out and spend all that money thinking they’ll nail that tone only to be either disappointed or too tone deaf to hear a difference.
SRV tone is a technical thing. He’s a tonal genius dude.
i agree, SRV's tone was just mainly cranked fender amps and even without a TS still sound big and overdriven, he started with just guitar into amps early in his career, the TS was just for clean boost and to tighten the low end, 2 TS will just cut too much low and high and too muffled in my opinion.
@@stratocaster8434 yeah but his pickups were alnico 5 with 13” gauge strings. Later in his career the 13’s were starting to tare his fingers off. He then put 11”s on there to ease up the pain but he lost that tonal quality he was looking for. What he did was he called up Renne addressed that situation and he rewound the alnico’s” with more copper than before to retain that sound he had when he was playing the 13” gauge strings. That was the only way for him.
I disagree. While the wood might matter a little bit, the pickups definitely matter more.
So after watching so many videos that rambled on you got it right and to the point of setting the amp then the pedals. The only thing you didn’t advise is the guitar knob settings? Are you just cranking the volume on guitar ? Are you using the tone knobs on guitar ? Please advise
Great job you instruct well 👍
I like the background music. Great vid 👍🏽
I have been waiting for this video thank you
Awesome as always mate , do a marty tube screamer , i will buy it just as a payback for all your free lessons
I don't think stevie used Texas special pickups. I don't think they even existed yet. He just used whatever was in his guitars.
Maybe not SRV tone but definitely Hendrix tone😙👌👌
To really get it you’ve got to push the power section- 6 or 7.... and turn the amp bass down...just my two cents
