Still finding tones - Peter Green

[SonicProvocateur]

So i've been rooting around my R2 channel for awhile now trying to dig out all of it's magic, and thought i'd try and give a go at this one:

I made a quick go at Peter Green's late 60's Fleetwood Mac tone today (one of my favorite great woody Les Paul tones, aside from Zeppelin)

The video did hardly any justice at capturing it, but I put the settings in the video if anyone else wants to give it a go, also with a shot of the EQ settings. Thoughts anyone?

It's really difficult to get Green's sound with just fiddling with an amps setting b/c of his out of phase pickups. It's been widely documented, that at one point his neck pickup was removed and repaired. Somehow during that process the magnet was replaced backwards, thus given it that tone that les pauls do not have naturally.

I love his sound, but without performing some major surgery to one of your pickups, it very difficult to nail down.

Still, a very nice R2 tone you have there.

I have some Throbak PG pickups in my LP - they have the magnet phase reversal - and boy, you get those Peter Green tones in the middle position.
