Here you go... Squire Classic Vibe classic `50 (white/gold) Fender Thinline Tele 72" (CIJ version) Plugged into these effects/amp: ernie ball volume Boss cs-3 stompunderfoot tri fuzz Fulltone OCD v2 MXR Micro Amp Boss ce-2 Boss rv-5 Line 6 dl-4 Fender 65" Deluxe Reverb amp And of course my acoustic elctric guitar, a Taylor 114ce!

I was going to suggest the exact opposite:P Don't you mean if you want a smother sound, go for humbuckers, if you want a sharper sound, go for single coils? Try 09. or .10 strings

For coldplay songs i use line 6 dl4 for delay, ernie ball volume pedal, boss rv-5(modulated reverb) for songs such as death and all his friends, lovers in japan, and many many many more... fulltone ocd for his overdrive sound, and a stompunderfoot tri fuzz(shiver, and songs with distortion)! For me this works good, but i would like to use a vintage rat instead of that tri fuzz stacked with the ocd! All this with a 72 jap thinline plugged into to a deluxe reverb amp... I suggest that you try boss rv-5, fulltone ocd or a tube screamer kind of pedal as a start, then later on look for a delay and a volume pedal... do you have any budget?

tune your guitar, then do dive bombs, then tune the guitar again... that should hold the tuning a bit longer, at least if you're using the trem arm as a vibrato and not too deep "dive bombing" This works good enough for me and my squier strat...

I actually bought the pedal yesterday... I'm sitting here, thinking that this pedal is a keeper:) Had a line 6 verbzilla, it was a very good reverb pedal, but we just couldn't bond! But the rv-5, wow, i love the modulated reverb! the only thing i dislike about this is the spring reverb mode, it totally suck, but thats not why i bought it=)

Nice demo anyways... Would you recommend the rv-5? I've been interested in that pedal in a while for playing some coldplay songs, and some other volume swell/ambient kind of stuff. That thinline by the way, looks awesome! I love the sound of a thinline, i have 4 guitars, not any of them can beat my jap thinline!

What amp/effects do you use?

I say the prices in $ because i'm used to be in a american forum, but we pay in "kroner/kr" here. i can record some samples with it, i'll just have to borrow a sm57/sennheiser609 from a friend first:) I'm rocking with my cij thinline 72 and my versatile squier/dg20 guitar:) And by the way, emg dg-20 are the best pickups i've ever played so far, because it is so versatile...

Thanks:D i payed 1900 dollars for it...Not cheap, but cheaper than 2200$! Bought it from a local store, but things like effects and other accessories i buy from ebay, a german store, and music123 or 123music.com:P Save a lot money buying pedals from the us, or germany:) Sometimes i play stuff in the store, then i buy it online, but i do like to support the few local stores we have left:)

bought a deluxe reverb... Got a better deal:) But thanks for the help guys anyways! Couldn't buy the hot rod deluxe because of many people having problem with it, design problem, and i figured out that i liked the deluxe reverb better after playing it, and i think i will be able to get som jonny sounds out of it!:) And the blues jr byt the way, didn't have that clear clean sound that i wanted. i've heard that the deluxe reverb should be quite versatile, wish me good luck with it! The blues jr didn't have that clear cleans that i wanted. I think i will enjoy my new amp:D

You're may be right, but he has 3 amps, so he could change amp as fast as he could step on his ocd or ts or whatever ;) But who knows... QuestionsOfScience: The deluxe reverb cost a lot of money, it also is overpriced here, but i already have been saving up money:) fortunately, we got higher payments in norway, i think, so it does match the prices...kind of! Did you mean blues or pro junior?

I've been looking at fender blues junior, hot rod deluxe, princeton reverb, deluxe reverb. Also looked at a vox ac15, but it may not be the one for me(compared it to the fender hot rod deluxe) I want this amp to have fender cleans, and i'll just use overdrive and distortion pedals. But thats maybe where i'm gonna get trouble? because jonny probably gets his crunchy sound from the amp breakup:S I love the cleans at the deluxe reverb, but it doesn't have a master vol, but that isn't that importent if i can get a similar sound with a ts9 or another overdrive pedal. The hot rod deluxe seems to have a not so reliable amp design, and the cleans was a bit more colored compared to the deluxe and princeton reverb! Liked the clear clean tones from the last two. Hard to say a maximum price, since it cost quite much here in norway. A deluxe reverb cost about 2200 in dollars over here. but i may be open for other amps, but we are a bit limited, they don't have too much amps in the local store.

how do you guys get the crunchy rythm sound that jonny uses without cranking the amp? do you use a ts9 or something? I thought i would be able to decide which amp to go for, but i came back home without any amp:P The cleans at the hrd seemed to be a bit more colored than the prri/drri

Have you ever played the hrd? It is very loud, with the volume knob you go from no sound to loud sound, almost nothing in between

I'm getting one tomorrow i think(18 hour to deside):) but i'm so afraid of buying an amp that is too loud for home use/bedroom, even if i don't crank it... I've had a tiny terror, I've allways used it at 7W, but then on the other side, i cranked it, even at 15W. What to do, still thinking of the blues jr... Isn't the princeton reverb a good choice to? isn't it quite similar to the drri?

Well, my head thought it was too loud, i played it in the store, but i could give it one more try, but, i did turn the amp all the way down, but i still thought it was a bit loud when hitting the strings hard. I loved the sound of the hrdlx:) But i got a good deal on the fender deluxe reverb, what do you think about that? By the way, i'm not thinking of pushing the amp, i just want an amp that has good cleans, and with pedals can capture the sound of jonny...

Hi everyone, time to buy a new amp, my old one is gone. Had a tiny terror, but i felt it was too dark sounding with my thinline, and it didn't have much headroom. I've looked some fender amps, i have also played some. What do you guys think of Fender blues jr? does it have much headroom? The other amps that i've got on my "list" is princeton reverb/deluxe reverb. I'm gonna play it at home, and in a band local am i able to capture jonnys sound with one of these? I think those amps also will suite me, and i also play some dire straits, gilmour, and u2. I know that jonny has some hot rod devilles and a twin reverb, but those amps just got too much power, can't play those at home, even the hot rod deluxe is too loud!

I don't have an eq on my amp:S But thanks for helping out, this info was quite helpful. Did jonny really use an orange amp in his earlier days?

Hi, i hope i'm posting at the right place. I'm just wondering how you can get your guitar to sound like jonny's in for example moses/one i love. the sound of his guitar is just amazing. I've an orange tiny terror with a strat loaded with emg dg's, and a new tele thinline 72. I know my amp isn't the best for imitating the coldplay sound, but i want to try anyways. I've got some pedals, but i think a new one or two won't hurt. Mxr micro amp, line 6 dl4, tubescreamer ts808 and a ts9 clone, boss cs-3. what settings i should use? any other tips?

I think that he uses his e-bow at the end of the his riff! He got delay pedals that creates a lot of sustain(I am not sure)

Well....he use a slider and a bit of overdrive(not much) i think and delay!

what is this?

tried to learn it by your self?

anyone got something to share?
