Hi folks,
I've just joined this board, so hello and happy new year! I was a member of a previous boards.net one but it randomly disappeared off the tinterweb!
Anyway, over the festive period I've dug out the DVDs and been watching the Wembley (88 I think) and Butlins gig's. They aren't the best quality but I have to say I forgot how good Rossi's guitar sounded back then - unfortunately I'm not old enough to remember seeing them back then
but comparing it to these days and mid 90s it's fantastic. It's my favourite out of all his sounds over the decades.
What actually happened to his sound after this period? I know the lace sensors contributed to it but I don't think they are solely to blame, I've got lace sensors in a guitar and they don't ruin the sound that much!
It seems to me there was a bit of fiddling with amp/gp-8 settings too.
Late 80s / early 90s there's quite a lot of overdrive and a lot of treble. I also see he seemed to use what looks like a Marshall 'guv'nor' peddle along side the GP-8. Anyone know if this was permanently on to overdrive the amp more or was this kicked in and out to boost the overdrive of the gp-8?
