Hey everyone, it's Jason Shadrick here at PremierGuitar.com and we're here with Mark Weber who's guitar tech for Jimmy Vaughn and he's gonna walk us through
Jimmy's guitars and amps and pedals that he's using on this tour for the summer.
So Mark
Thanks a lot for taking the time to talk to us.
Sure.
Thank you
Jimmy's a pretty low maintenance guy.
He only travels with two guitars
this first one
Is a Jimmy Vaughn signature model guitar that's been relic'd made to look like his old guitar that he played in the Thunderbird
played with in the Thunderbirds
These are made in Mexico
And pretty much to his specs kind of a v-shaped neck
It's got the Tex-Mex pickups on there and he uses the pickups that come stock from with the guitar
One of the things also he does is he does these flat wound strings on a Stratocaster
This is what gauge flat ones using
Well, he kind of uses a custom gauge where he uses a ten and a half on the top
Sometimes a ten sometimes an eleven, but he really likes the ten and a half most of the time if we can find them
And then it goes to about a 50 or a 52 on the bottom so
It's kind of ten and a half thirteen sometimes fourteen
Seventeen or eighteen and then kind of a thirty forty fifty is
Roughly the gauge usually kind of changes it up
You know just here and there just to try something different or feel a little different tension sometimes
But and these are pretty much just stock right off the shelf
Jimmy Vaughn.
Yeah Yeah, yeah
And I know he uses a capo a lot.
So tell us a little bit about that the capo he uses the Shub capo
and most of the time
If he's playing a song in a different key a lot of times he likes to use
Kind of the same fingerings as if he were playing an E or an A
So he'll use the capo on either the third or fourth fret, you know fifth fret
Sometimes just depending on the key and use a lot of the same fingerings for some of the licks that he'll play
So and what types of picks does he use?
picks are
Are kind of a funny story
he uses hotel room keys the plastic credit card style room keys and he'll cut those out to
Some different shapes so a little bit larger than your standard like I think it's the 351 Fender size
He'll cut them out a little bit larger just a little bit different to where he can grip them a little differently
And but they feel pretty much like a fender medium
So that's that's his secret weapon is cutting his own picks
All right.
Let's go on stage and look at the amps and pedals.
He's using.
All right, Mark
We're on [G] stage here with Jimmy's amps and looks like he's running to grammatico amps.
Why don't you tell us a little bit about these?
Yeah, these are the grammatico Kingsville amps John grammatico is a guy in Austin, Texas that that builds these amps for Jimmy
He's got his own website and he sells them
But they're basically like a hand-wired baseman and he uses all the best
Best parts that are available today
To to build these amps and and these particular ones, you know
He's sat with with Jimmy and they've gone through different
Capacitors and different widgets and all that kind of good stuff to get the sound that Jimmy Jimmy really wants
on those and and and that's pretty much it he runs them both into the voodoo labs amp selector
And runs both the amps at the same time usually has the settings on each amp a little bit different
but
Yeah runs in both the same time.
We use the boss tremolo pedal on one song
and
He plugs the amps into the Furman power conditioner.
You can see that back here
and that's a pretty important piece for Jimmy because
He plays all over the world and and even in the United States power is different in almost every room and
Tube amplifiers react differently depending [Eb] on how much power they're getting
From the power source and that just regulates the power and allows the amps to sound much more consistent
Than if you were just plugging into the wall each time and you mentioned he sets the controls on each amp differently
Do you know how he sets one according to the [Ab] other?
Well most of time it'll just depend on the room
You know he usually runs the presence in the middle all the way up a lot of times
He'll run bass at either one one two three.
I noticed that he ran the bass a little bit hotter on the other one there
Just for last night, so he may change that tonight, but treble is usually pretty high up in the eight nine ten range
And then the volume he'll run the volume really hot on the amp, but then only on the guitar
He'll run it.
Maybe most of the time.
He's only running about five to seven on the guitar
So he rarely has the guitar all the way cranked up
He feels that the the best tone is to have the guitar turned down to you know somewhere between five and seven
And he gets the best sound for him.
You know that way so tell me a little about
What he's the tremolo pedal for and which song in a set he's before yeah, it's a it's a
Tune that I think Jimmy's probably been playing for a long time.
It's called scratch my back.
It's a song that Lou Anne Barton sings
And
It's just a stock
Boss tremolo pedal there's no mod to it at all
Again the the tape just has kind of sample settings
And then he changes it depending on you know if he wants it to hear it a little bit faster or slower depending
Depending on the night all right mark well.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to show us through Jimmy's rig sure
Thank you, Jason.
