Joe Perry’s Live Rig – Here’s a quick pic of amps we’ve worked on that are in Joe’s live rig on the current Hollywood Vampires tour. Amp on the left is the amp used on the marking of Aerosmith’s ‘Pump’ record ($395 for the Mod), amp on the right is 1 of 3 Super PA amps we over hauled-&-Modified for Aerosmith’s world tour last year. Both amps contain Master Volumes among other Mods.
Joe Perry Modded Tone Bender Pedal – Here’s a quick pic taken on stage of a Tone Bender Replica pedal that Trace had Modded several years back. Joe is using it in his live rig again on the Hollywood Vampires Tour. - “I used to Mod pedals many years ago & only do so on very rare occasions these days. I reviewed my original Mod Notes & it was given to us because it would squeal uncontrollably when turned on making it unusable. It was all hand wired with (3) germanium transistors. I was given car blanch so I voiced it to a schematic I had made of the best sounding Tone Bender pedal that I’d worked on years prior. I wasn't keen on the type of caps used so I changed all the cap types & tweaked the circuit so all the gain was usable. It came out sounding great & cuts through the mix extremely well.” Feel free to share as you like & send this link to a friend!
