beautifulbuzz18 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 A friend of mine suggested I listen to Pete Anderson - Even Things Out. I am really impressed - he is a great guitar player! Anyone else into his music?? http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/75/l_082ab5f12e184865b1de6dd8676bc04c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (I hope you are indeed a new PA fan, and not a promotional "spammer"...) I'm not a "country music guy", but I can dig Pete Anderson. I don't have any of his releases (unless he snuck some session playing onto some and I didn't realize it), but I've been aware of him as a session player, producer, artist, and all-around guitar-guy's-guitar-guy for years now; he is a particularly good player and a great-tone champ. I know I've heard him on radio and CDs before. Seems like a cool guy. I like him just for naming an album DOGS IN HEAVEN, and putting a faithful canine with angel-wings on the cover... He has great taste in guitars, gear and tone! I've lusted for his sig-model Larivee and Reverend axes... !! What's that guitar on the cover of his new album, an old Stella? Anyone? Anyone? I understand that in times past, one of his favorite type of rigs to record with was a Fender Deluxe Reverb with an Electro-Voice EVM-12S speaker and an output-transformer from a Bandmaster, Twin Reverb, or Bassman-head or the like, and biased as required for a pair of 6L6s in place of the DR's stock 6V6s. Might maybe coulda had a SS rectifier in place of the tube-rect, as well. (They probably also either replaced the Power-Transformer, or added another small transformer, to handle the increased current-draw for the heater-filaments of the 6L6s.) All in all, the thing is that it was inherently a "mini-Twin" with big, bold tone and a strong, tight bass response. I also understand that he has since made extensive use of Amp Farm modeling software, as well.

ripsix Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Love Pete Anderson ever since the first time I heard the beginning riffs of Guitars & Cadillac's when the Dwight's first EP was released. He's got such great tone and an unbelievable feel. What I really love is how some of his solos are so close to the edge of disaster and he just brilliantly pulls them back together. If you listen to the breadth of his work you realize just how good he really is. Especially listen to the work he does in the remakes of others to which I'll point out specifically ZZ Top's I'm Bad I'm Nationwide, The Clash Train in Vain, etc. He originally liked to use two Deluxe Reverbs through a Tele but migrated to using a lot more. A few years ago I read an article somewhere where he said a lot of purists out there would be surprised at how much of his stuff is straight out of a POD.. :-). If it sounds good in the context you're using it... DO IT! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottom End Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I recommend Dwight Yoakam's albums to anyone who says they don't like country. A good band is a good band no matter the style Is Pete Anderson the guitarist on Dwight's version of "Things We Said Today?" "Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.'-Hamlet Guitar solos last 30 seconds, the bass line lasts for the whole song.

Fingerstyle_Jim Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I recommend Dwight Yoakam's albums to anyone who says they don't like country. A good band is a good band no matter the style I've gotta admit, I had "Guitars, Cadiallcs..." when it came out and enjoyed it thoroughly, and I am not much of a country fan. Besides the great guitar work there was the clever lyrics and titles(it won't hurt when I fall of this barstool!)

Gruupi Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yeah, Pete Anderson is great. I don't care what style anymore, if a guitar player has a good sound then I like him. He has so many funky grooves and nasty tones that all work in the context of whatever the tune is. His lyrics are hilarious too. "Working Class' is one of my favorite albums of all time.

d halfnote Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Timely. Besides the several times PA's been in GP before, he's in the April 2010 issue (Joe Perry cover) with a brief rundown of new recordings, how he's not really a country player, remarks about his Reverend model guitars & why he no longer uses tape to "wash" his didital tracks.

Caevan O’Shite Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 OK, step on the brakes, I've GOT to ask- What's with all the first-time/ONE-time posters that registered on the same day popping in here with promotional testimonials? It's looking very, very suspiciously Spammy and insincere; such hit-and-run spammming is not very appreciated!! Tell me I'm wrong, and that you "guys" are real people and not the same one or two promotional peeps... ?!

stamplicker Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 if it walks like a duck.. and talks like a duck.. you can shove it in a can and call it SPAM! Little to concidental, first time posters on same subject all geared towards promoting.

Caevan O’Shite Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'd be glad to be wrong about that, if even only about one or two of "you guys" (beautifulbuzz18, ripsix, deltatwang); I'd love to be wrong about that. So prove me wrong, it'd still be a win-win situation as far as I'm concerned!

picker Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Does a guy like Pete Anderson need spammers to get over? I might be wrong, but I'd like to think this guys is just an overzealous fan. Can anybody in charge of the site or with the magazine check with Pete's people and see if they know about it or not? If not, they might want to know it's going on...

SF Shoim Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Even though Pete Anderson is an amazing tele/country player he says that he's mainly a blues player. I saw him last year and he was playing a Gibson 175 and it was definitely not country. He has a killer version of Hendrix's "Fire" on an album called "Working Class": http://tinyurl.com/yfu8742 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremenbluesman Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 This is not a spammer...Pete's production and guitar on Michelle Shocked's Captain Swing is absolutely outstanding! I don't think Pete wants or needs artificial assistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatwang Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hey everyone, didn't want my post to come off like spam. Just wanted to get the word out on Pete and what he's been up to. He's changing gears so to speak. Everyone assoicates him with Yoakam and he's now branching out on his own as a solo Blues artist. Gone are the Tele's and Deluxes and now he's using his signature Hollowbody and Pods in his live rig. Yes, a Pod - 1st generation to boot. . Line 6 had modeled his modded Deluxe (dont' get me started on that amp - bigger transformers, 6l6's, EV 12L) and his Sears Silvertone amp. So he's basically using his old amps through a VHT power amp into two Celestions speakers - one Gold and one 12H. It's pretty wild how he's using modern technology to call up his past. It's just more reliable than trusting in those old amps. This current set up is just a scaled down version of his elaborate Bradshaw/Vetta set up he was using on his last few Yoakam tours. Now with that being all said, I just got to hear some of the new Mark Chestnut record that Pete's producing and it's old school "Outlaw Country" Tele guitar pickin'. You guys gotta understand one thing - he's got a great day job. He get's to play guitar for a living. Pete may not be a "Country Guitar Player" but he plays one on TV.

Caevan O’Shite Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Cool. (And it wasn't just you, deltatwang, that seemed a little suspicious; anyways, blame any paranoia of ours on the MO and SOP of annoying, patronizing Spammers Past!) A small difference overall, but wasn't it an Electro-Voice EVM-12S speaker that he used in a Deluxe or two in the past? Or, have both EV models been put in the Pete Anderson Deluxe package before? Mmmmnn... Celestion Alnicos and G12H-30s, oh yeah! Nice.

deltatwang Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Caevan, you may be right about the EV 12S in the Deluxes. But in the 1x12 Mojo Tone cabinets he had EV12L's. I'll check into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Relatively small diff, really, like comparing two different ceramic Celestions; and maybe one type seemed to him to be better suited for the stereo VHT power-amp rig.
