I am a big fan of Carlos' tone and this is the reason why I bought my first Boogie back in 1985.
I really like his tone in "The Sensitive Kind", in his Zebop album. The album was released in April 1981 so he was surely using his Mark I.
I have a '77 Mark I and a PRS Santana I (the yellow one) and I am trying to mimic that elusive tone but cannot quite nail it. Of course I am aware that, at that time, Carlos was probably using the Yamaha SG2000 or the Gibson L6S instead of the PRS.
Does anybody know if there were any special settings on the amp or a distinct pedal he was using at the time to get that sound?
