Buddy E What did you use?

Post by Craig A Davidson »

I was told that when you did the Emmons Guitar Company album aka/The Black Album, you plugged into a Twin Reverb. If so, did you use the reverb in the amp or some kind of outboard effect? I have been trying to get those tones and haven't quite figured it out. I just wondered.

I'll pipe in here since it's been a few days. I believe that Buddy used some amp reverb and increased the overall level with some plate reverb during choruses and such. Correct me if I'm wrong, E.

Buddy used anointed hands and heart on most of his cuts. The efects don't seem to make much difference. Image Image

A lot of no answers and not a one of you named "Buddy".

I've been addressed, "Hey, buddy", before, does that count?

Okay you win. I really wanted to know from the Big E's fingers don't you know. I don't know if "hey buddy" counts or not. I guess we can let it go this time. I was just a little upset because I see postings but when I click on it no Buddy. Everybody but Buddy. That's ok I guess. At least people are checking it out.

Just recently Buddy spent a good month or two answering every question I would have wanted to ask him plus hundreds of others that I never thought of on Ernie's website. I believe Ernie archived all of that information so Craig if you will spend a few minutes with you mouse I would be willing to bet that you be able to find the answer to your question directly from E's fingers, it just won't be addressed to you personally!

Fine reply Jay, I was feeling guilty about goofing around. I hope this helps him answer his question.
