Texas Blues Pedalboard
For that classic spanky Texas Blues sound, you’ll need a green overdrive (you know the one), a good wah-wah and some sort of modulation pedal for adding some colour. Grab the cowboy hat and chaps and saddle up!
- JHS The Bonsai Overdrive – For the Texas Blues sound, the classic green “Screamer” tone is essential. The JHS Bonsai is loaded with nine different TS style tones, so you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to overdrive options.
- Earthquaker Devices The Depths Optical Vibe – The Depths is a fresh take on the classic rotary speaker sound and will add anything from a pulsating throb to a fast swirling motion to your tone. You can’t fit a Leslie speaker on a pedalboard so this is the next best thing!
- Tone City Tape Machine Delay – The Tape Machine Delay from Tone City is an extremely affordable way of adding some lush tape style delays to your solos without all of the annoying shortcomings of the original tape units.
- Jim Dunlop Gary Clark Junior Signature Cry Baby – A good wah-wah pedal is a great way of adding some expression to your solos. The Gary Clark Jr. Cry Baby features a lower frequency range and a tight sweep for articulate and percussive sounds, ideal for blues soloing.
