I also have the SSTE in front with delay set to 240ms, Instr vol 5, echo on, echo vol 1, tape speed low, preamp ep-3, echo repeats 1, rec lvl 5, echo highs vintage. On this pedal, I set level to 9, drive 3, eq low 9, eq hi 0.

I suppose that will need another preset with the echo more prominent.Īs suggested I used the HiAmp -normal Bass 5.0, Treble 3.0, Middle 5, Presence 3, Master Vol 3.5, Normal Vol 2.5, Bright Vol 2.5. I promised I would report back and here is where I am - I think I have something that is pretty good although I still need to figure out the echo that seems to be added on the solo. I also sometimes forget how great AmpliTube's Hiwatt head does on cleans, even just yesterday when testing a new guitar I was going mostly through the Fender models but to be fair I was absolutely looking for that twang which is counter to OP's needs here Rick's a brilliant luthier - I enjoy sitting on the sidelines while my luthier friend (much newer at it than Rick) and Rick have conversations about the craft. Edit - and I also really enjoy the heavy use of his Rick Turner guitar, so there's that. Probably because it tends to be an overall (and well-executed) attempt to recreate various tones from across his career in a single manageable rig. I personally like the MESA heads with Hiwatt cabs sound best, at least when I've seen him and/or watched videos.

As Peter says, AmpliTube is well-equipped with stomps to go with Buckingham's Mesa Dual Rectifier electric rig. There are "rig rundowns" from 2012 ( ) and 2018 ( ) on YouTube. Yes, I think there is a lot of info online about his more recent gear. His overdrive and other pedals are stock Boss/Roland models from what I've seen, so that part should be dead simple. Peter_IK wrote:He's definitely also been using MESA dual recs for a while too though. Try various overdrives (or fuzz?) set modestly or the SSTE/Echoplex before the amp for extra drive. I think that's less of an issue that than amps, though.Īnyway, I'd start with the HiAmp head/cab combination, place all the EQ knobs at 5, the Master up around 2/3 or 3/4, and tweak from there. Then he also used a Roland Space Echo that's in T-Racks, but not AmpliTube.

(Though, actually, the SSTE model, which is based on physical hardware that reproduces an EchoPlex could be a possibility many guitarists in the '70s used the EchoPlex as a pre-amp.). He subsequently (later '70s?) was using 100w Marshalls the JH Gold amp model (and perhaps the Satch Green cab) might be the best option here alternatively, the Brit S100 or even Vintage Metal Lead amp models.Īpparently he also used the guts of a Sony 630 tape recorder as a preamp! You'll just have to experiment with dirt-box models there. Thus, your best bet is probably the Amplitube HiAmp (and matching cab).

I am not an expert on Buckingham, and I don't have a preset for him, but I think (though I'm not sure!) that in the earely/mi-d'70s he was actually using HiWatt amps and cabs that might be what he used on the eponymous Fleetwod Mac album.
