Elusive "Duane-Tone"

[Carl_Tone]

Love that tone and slide...is your action high?

Thanks - Action is just a little higher than factory set-up. I'm using the same guitar for both clips - strings are .010s - pretty standard. Open E tuning on the slide - I do prefer the heavier Dunlop pyrex slide (open ended) to the closed end Coricidin bottle that Duane and Derek Trucks use(d). Seems to add some nice sustain and I can apply less pressure on the strings and get the tone I want.

not bad at all, needed a little more something, but quite good!!!

Thanks, Jim. I think what's missing is a bit more gain. Duane usually dimed out his amps - my Tweed Twin was at about 2.5 on each channel, so not nearly as much gain and tube distortion. Of course, more DUANE wouldn't hurt either - but that's much harder to find!

No, it was quite good!!!
