So I see Bruce worked with Nuno on his signature amp.

Any insight on this thing? Marshall-esque circuit?

Also, I saw Bruce's post on another board saying Nuno has a great ear and is picky about
his tone. I see this a lot with guys that have their own amp lines and am always curious as to how the process is actually played out.

Does Bruce do a tweak and Nuno says "more treble" or "not enough saturation in the distortion", etc., or what? How does a collaboration work when you are tweaking an amp & what makes for a very discriminating ear?

Thanks!
 
+1. I am also interested in hearing more about the process.
 
i'm not sure how bruce does it.. i imagine the process would be

n: build me an amp:
b: ok, try this.


== this would probably happen more than one time ==
n: how about more x, and less y
b: ok, try this

awesome sounds great, thanks bruce!

either the amp would ship back and forth, or nuno would fly into the amplounge, or bruce would fly out after the prototype is done with a suitcase full of resistors, capacitor's and a soldering iron hehe..
 
Yeah, I was reading about this over on TGP. First of all, I think the amp looks AWESOME. Totally different, like a radio from the 60s. Love it.

I'm curious as to see how discerning he is as far as tones are concerned... considering he uses a Bill Lawrence Bridge pickup that, to me, is the sonic equivalent of jamming a steak knife in my ear. Such a weird tone. Works very well for his legato-percussive left hand stuff that he does, but for chords... eeeegh. Not for me.

Well. Having heard the amp live during the tour on tour w/ Kings X. Ty Tabor's tone kicked his tone's ass. I was NOT impressed with Nuno's tone, or his playing live at all. It was very mushy and loose, and very bright with no "meat" to the tone. Ty's tone was exactly what I would expect an Egnater to sound like. I had to leave after about 7 songs it was soo bad.

I was missing his tone from 3 sides. That is "the Nuno" tone I love. Seems to me that he's trying to go more and more vintage in his tones, and in my opinion, it really doesn't fit him or his style of playing.

Just my $.02 though.

Good way to describe those blade bill lawrence pickups.

Bright, yet mushy, with absolutely no meat.
 
any chance that TY's module will be available from Egnater?
