jeff beck anyone?!?

[stratocaster83]

the only info I found on his gear is the stuff he used during the "crazy legs" album, which is the only one of jeff I've never listened!!!

ok, we know the man does it all by his hands, but I saw some photos of the september's concerts, and he had a pedalboard!!! but what te hell he use?!?!?

guitars: er... jeff beck signature (.011-.049), sometime tele (for bottleneck)
amps: 2 x marshall DSL (used in stereo?!?)
cabinets: 2 x marshall (with celestion greenbacks)

that's for the most recent stuff... and he old?!? just the strat, the brown paulie, an echoplex and some plexis? or he used also a pro co rat? during the tour with SRV he used a couple of twin reverb (but he admitted the he envies a lot SRV's rig!!!!!!)

help anyone?!?

I was always under the impression that he only had a Rat between his fingers, the guitar, and the amp...
Beck is nuts,

As far I know it's his Strat Marshall DSL2000

With the Yardbirds he used teles and LPs. I've a photo of him with the Yardbirds and he's playing a late 50s burst LP with a non-standard 1-ply black pickguard. I've another of him in his London flat around the same time with an Esquire. At some point he used a customized tele with two humbuckers and a chopped 50s bridge with brass saddles.

Greco made a copy of his oxblood LP (the brown/black one) and Guitargai has one for sale (http://www.guitargai.com/html_folder/gai_otherBA2.html#). Recently, Guitargai had a copy of Beck's customized tele for sale too.

I think by Blow by Blow he was using the oxblood LP for the most part but by Wired he'd switched to strats. On Crazy Legs he used a Duo Jet with a fixed-arm Bigsby to get Cliff Gallup's "sound." Evidently, Beck tried recording the songs with a Duo Jet that had a regular Bigsby but he couldn't capture Gallup's tone. Around that time he used a tele somewhat, as well.

I'm not a big fan of his music for the most part but have always seemed to run across articles on him. Despite not really liking his music, I do like that he played with his thumb rather than a pick for the most part.

Besides his DSL's and Strats (With Shur pickups), Jeff has a EBS Octabass pedal, BF-2, Maestro ring mod, and a Snarling Dogs Super Bawl Whine-o-Wah. And a whole bunch of custom made switches and volume boxes.

Me too:(

and beck was last seen with a DL4. he alqways had a soundman add either a tape echo or a lexicon PCM41/42 to his mic mix for some ambinece.

Everytime I play a ProCo Rat I hear Beck and have to play a little bit of "Cause We've Ended as Lovers." I love that sound.

[acoustic_frippy]

Beck used a Coloursound Overdriver, as well, during the 1970s.

[lucky13MK2]

The tele with humbuckers [seymour duncans] and the chopped bridge was a fender that seymour duncan had made 2 custom humbuckers for. The bridge ended up being later known as the JB model [for obvious reasons] and that's the guitar Jeff used for 'Cause we ended as lovers'. Damn he can ride the volume knob!

[msurdin7]

yes the coloursound overdriver which is the same as the power boost. I have it and love it. Very very warm overdrive.
