Favorite recorded Les Paul tone?

[bluesape]

Every guitar has a unique voice, and I'd say my Les Paul favs would be:

Clean - Luther Allison and Grady Martin

Dirty - Gary Moore and Dickie Betts

What are yours?

Back when I cared about such things, I decided Duane Allman's LP on the Fillmore East album sounded the best.

Fillmore East, hell yeah! But the first one that came to mind, for me, was Clapton/Beano album

Hard to beat the tone on Live at Fillmore East. For some with more gain, check out the sound samples on the Komet amp website. There are a lot of different guitars used. Listen to them all. But for this thread, check out the Constellation clips called Heavy Tune. These are done with a 58 RI with Rolph pups.

 

[DHBucker]

1. The Reverend Willie G on all EARLY ZZ Top
2. Gary Richrath REO Live
3. Marc Ford-Black Crowes albums
4. Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin IV and TSRTS
5. ABB Fillmore shows and Eat A Peach (for peace)
6. JMBB with EC -Beano

These are not ranked in any particular order by better or best. Just as I thought of them.

 

[Texas Blues]

1. Billy G. "Brown Sugar"
2. Greeney "Green Manahlishi"
3. Anything Koss
4. Anything Bloomy

Absolutely, Duane's tone on Fillmore East, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, You Don't Love Me, Whipping Post and Mountain Jam from Eat A Peach:jim

One of These Nights -Don Felder
Mississippi Queen-Leslie West
Truth-Jeff Beck

I agree with several of the above, including The Reverend and Billy Duffy.

One of the favourites on my hard drive is the band Flash Lightning, which I actually found through it's guitarist who is a LPF member. Can't remember the name, embarrasingly enough.

Jimmy Page in TSRTS. Perfect edge in every way.

 

[Picaso]

Joe Walsh "Rocky mountain way". The defining classic LP rock sound.
Allmans " jelly jelly " and "Whipping post"
Anything by Warren Haynes

>Billy Duffy, The Cult
I just worked with the Cult. Billy was having a bit of pickup trouble with
his Gretch. He turned to us and said " All of my life I've played a Gibson,
and I do one bloody song with this thing and I'm married to it for life !"
Truly a memorable moment for me.

He did a few tunes with the Gretch, but used the Les Paul a lot as well.
Great show, if they play in your area and you're a fan, you won't be let down.
(I don't remeber the details of his rig..... sorry in advance..)
