SRV tube screamer tone

I'm looking for a tube screamer because I want to get closer to SRV's sound and I'm deciding between an Ibanez TS9 and a Boss BD2. I've seen some people saying that the Ibanez gets closer to SRV's sound, but I've also seen people say the BD2 has more versatility. Any recommendations?

Good Learning Material for Tone

Hi all,

I’ll try to keep it quick: I’ve always been a plug-and-play player. Never really wanted to get caught up in tone chasing besides a foot switch for OD and Reverb and my tone knobs.

I’ve been playing in a cover band that has very eclectic sets (Glen Campbell to Van Halen back to back, stuff like that). I’ve since made the realization that I need to start caring about tone, EQ, etc. as well as that tone in your music room does NOT sound the same playing live.

Can anyone recommend any materials (websites, YouTube, books etc.) that provides a crash course in tone? The simplest things like bass, mids, treble - all the way to funny bloop fx. Do’s and Dont’s (never stack this in front of that, etc) fundamental need to knows, all stuff like that.

Or if you can relate, how you went about learning all this. I just want to play, but I now feel like you have to be decently schooled in all this if you want to be a quality player.

Thanks.

Just built this. Need some feedback please. It’s far from perfect. This has NO CNC work. All by hand.

I just finished this guitar the other day. I am a luthier and usually do guitars built to people’s specs but this one I just built to build. It has some finish issues but l will fix those. Other than that it’s pretty nice. That scalloped frets are fun. Never had a guitar with scalloped fret so I figured I’d give it a try. Anyway I’d love some feedback.

I can’t add a picture but really should have added more when I posted the ad. The angle of the picture makes the string alignment look off but it’s actually not. Someone had also mentioned that the neck pocket looks too big but I can’t figure that one out at all. Must be a shadow. I’ll make another post and maybe it will show things better.

Anyway the guitar is being sold. I was going to use it as a gift for someone because even I will say it’s not my best work. I sold it for 500$. It plays great. The sales not finalized yet so I’ll let you know if it falls through. Thanks everyone.

What guitar technique is being used for this specific sound?

Hey guys, can someone tell me what technique the guitarist is using in the video？

It sounds like a volume swell combined with a harmonic, but I’m not entirely sure. How exactly do you play this? I'm struggling to get this exact part down.
Any tips would be awesome.

How to achieve this tone? (Wes Montgomery, Los Lobos)

Songs: The Town by Los Lobos; When A Man Loves A Woman by Wes Montgomery

I’m looking to replicate the clean tone of the lead guitar, which seems very similar in both songs. Can anyone give me an idea of what amp EQ settings and effects to use? Thanks
