Does anyone know Bill's current setup?
I think he uses Carr amps (the Rambler?) and I know he uses a DL4 but I'm not sure what else - it seems to change so often!

I'm surprised by his use of the Nano Metal Muff.
TC reverb is excellent.
I'd love to get a DL4 one day.

I'm surprised by his use of the Nano Metal Muff. TC reverb is excellent. I'd love to get a DL4 one day. The Dl4 is a cool pedal for sure. They're definitely better sounding delays out there, and others with more features, but the DL4 is a work horse. I wish Line6 would come out with an updated version. They are known for some reliability issues, but I bought one in 2001 or so and just sold it about 2 weeks ago. I never had a problem with mine. Plus you can get them mod'd to do a lot more than the normal stock version. I just got to the point where I only used it for the looper. I couldn't justify keeping it on my board, it's a big mother. |

At home Bill plays through Gibson amps. He own's a GA-18 and GA-50. He usually uses rentals on the road.
He's also a big fan of the Carr Sportsman amp. It's Carr's take on a Fender Princeton.

I wonder if he uses those Gibson amps to record his albums with?

Not really, I mean he probably has at some point, but he usually uses whatever the studio has. He's used Princetons, Champs, Deluxes, Carr's and much more in the studio.

Thanks Melodic Dreamer, that's useful info. It just goes to show that whatever he plays through he sounds pretty much the same. He uses his ears to dial them in for a balanced sound.
So many players sound bad because they use their eyes, not their ears.

To my ears Frisell always has his delay before reverb.
