Neil Young老师的吉他是怎样炼成的?^_^

尼尔杨老师是我的大偶像、比八部地龙老师还要厉害^_^
老杨的吉他声音调的特别好、莽莽苍苍的、很有特点
我个人认为吉米和尼尔杨这2个人的吉他是最好的

关于他的设备的介绍:这里这里
  
他的音色主要是来自于一个50元左右(1967年)的小fender箱子:vintage Fender Deluxe amplifiers)、再加上非常精细的调整、和其他效果器、最后还有一个红色的脚踏控制板(Red Box):
  



这是一个独一无二的小箱子、不知道为什么就让老杨碰见啦^_^

关于设备的对话
O: Do you take that amp on the road?
  
NY: Oh, yeah. I couldn't go without it. There is no spare. I've got 10 spares, but none of them sound like it. All Fender amps are different, made with different amounts of metal and windings, all these things. The transformers are all different powered. Everything used to be loose, y'know, so every combination of specs was different. I got mine for $50 at Saul Bettman's Music on Larchmont in L.A. in 1967. Took it home, plugged in this Gretsch guitar, and immediately the entire room started to vibrate.
  
The guitar started vibrating, and I went, "Holy shit!" I turned it halfway down before it stopped feeding back. But I do a lot of things to make the sound more distorted, like by introducing an octave divider in conjunction with an analog delay, which is before the octave divider. The routing of these things is really important---what hits first and then gets hit by something else. I have a line of six effects, and I can bypass them completely or dip in and grab one without going through the one in front of it. Or I can use all six of 'em or any combination that I want. I set them up in any order so that they affect each other in a certain way, and that's how I get my sound.   
  
另一个解释
Various vintage Fender Deluxe amplifiers— Young's preferred amplifier for electric guitar is the diminutive Fender Deluxe, specifically a Tweed-era model from 1959. Neil purchased his first vintage Deluxe in 1967 for $50 from the drummer of Crazy Horse, Ralph Molina, and has since acquired nearly 450 different examples, all from the same era, but he maintains that it's the original model that sounds superior, and is a crucial component to his trademark sound. A notable and unique accessory to Young's Deluxe is the Whizzer, a device created specifically for Young, which physically changes the amplifier's settings to pre-set combinations. It has gone through many incarnations, and now includes effects pedals hardwired into its circuitry.

从介绍上看、杨老师的独特声音、很多是依靠模拟技术+耳朵的、所以是不太容易复制的^_^ 对啦、就前2天在JavaOne上、老杨说MP3质量不太好^_^

这里有老杨最近巡演的照片
