Jimmys tone is very distinct on the studio album track Dark Star (Blue light rain). Anyone know any of the background on what makes this track so unique? Was a different guitar or amp setup used? It sounds cleaner, but without losing sustain... absolutely perfect... |

Jimmy loves that Tube Factor by Hughes and Kettner. He may be using that. |

jimmys tone is just plane distinct....i remember about 5-6-or-7 years ago down in alabama i went to see the Allman Brothers play at this festival and we were a little late and as we were about 200 yards away i heard that tone and got so pumped cause i knew who that was....they had just let Dickey Betts go for personal issues and i had no idea they let him go and i had no idea jimmy was playing with them but i new within 2 seconds....it was a double treat for me that night. ..woohoo! |

The story I heard was:
The Allman Brothers asked Jimmy to join the band.
Jimmy's delicate rejection, which is SO Jimmy if you know him, was (in effect):
I'm a fan of the Allman Brothers. I go to see the Allman Brothers. It wouldn't feel right to join them. |

I know Jimmys tone is distinctive, you know its him playing after just a few notes. But theres something about that track, almost sounds different. Maybe its the Marshall that he said he was using... |
