I'm mainly concerned with which amp/speakers Joe used for recording Sweet Emotion and Walk this Way. Tone Master, Twin Blackface, Marshall with 8 10's? There was a handwired model that I can't remember the name of now, but many argue that those were not available at that time, and some say Perry and/or Whitman were the ones who put those amps into production.
I've come close to the tone with my SS Randall and blown Pro-Mags, but not givin'-the-tubes-and-cones-hell close.

From the dubiously titled "ToneArchive.com," the excitingly titled: Joe Perry talks about his rig circa 1978. First thing I see there is he shielded one of his guitars. Instant kudos. Second thing is that concerning amps in the studios, he states: "When I’m at the Record Plant in New York City, I use some Ampegs they have there, really hot Ampegs that sound a lot like Fender Dual Showmans. The Ampegs are new ones but they’ve been reworked.""Reworked" - Nightmare. At least the Dual Showman is a start. Perry's always a slippery customer. His wall of Gibsons at his concerts these days is just for show - apparently he doesn't use them at all. Best of luck. I'm looking forward to reading about your results. |

Great find, ASmith. You wouldn't happen to be an aerosmith fan, would you? They are actually my favorite band.

I had a "Night in the Ruts" T-shirt in junior high that everybody loved and no one I know, even to this day, has ever heard of the album. Okay, 1 or 2 people.
Wall of Gibsons? I've heard of fake walls of Marshalls... I hear Joe is the posterboy for LP's. Thanks ASmith!

IJWS - My middle names are Edward Robert Oliver. SG - that photo looks reasonably alike this guy. The six-stringed confidence tricks behind him look like the Jeff Beck Edition LP. By "wall of Gibsons" I was referring to Gibson Goldtone cabs. On the Just Push Play tour and the following DVD Rockin' the Joint, Perry played in front of this set-up. Of course most things go direct from the pedals and heads to the PA anyway, with the exception of this. |

2 x 15's - I would have already had that done if my wife let me. Wait 'til she isn't lookin' - I have my eye on a couple of MCM's since the D140's fell thru. $$$$
Goltones - forgot about those!
I KNEW the guitar techs were the ones who put all the scratches on the guitars!!!
