Robin Trower's rig

[Charlie_M]

Anybody know what kind of amps he ran? Certainly sounds like a strat, but into what I'm not sure. Goorgeous sound though - listed to "live" on the way to work today and was reminded of how great that rig sounded and wondered what it was. Trying to explore what I want my tone to be like and having a few known reference point will help me out I'm sure. Appreciate any tips or info on this.

Ask and it shall be given you. Ask Google and it shall be given faster.

Trower: I use a thing for the chorus, kind of effect, a thing called a Deja Vibe, and a Vox wah wah, and I'm going into....one Marshall JCM 800...and that's running a 4x12 cab, and I'm going into a (Fender) Hot Rod Deville which is running another 4x12 cab, which is being slaved into another Hot Rod Deville which is running a 4x12 cab.

Fairly standard stuff. Actually the Hot Rod Deville is considered sub-standard by some.

It just goes to show you the power of the hands.

Man, if the Hot Rod Deville is substandard to some, I wonder what those people would have to say about my Squire Tele going into my EpiphoneValve Jr. Head. I have much more expensive gear, but this combination just sounds the best.

I agree that much of the sounds come from the hands, and also thing young players would do well to forget about what's cool and "the best" and play what sounds the best. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my short scale Memphis all those yars ago...I bet it would sound sweet with the right amp...

Cool. Thanks a lot. Not sure why it didn't occur to me to google that... I've been finding all sorts of tablature on the web that way as I work on getting my chops back. Really very different today from when I was a kid - no more learning leads over hours with a tape recorder and one finger on the rewind key...
