Author	Topic: Lloyd Green's Current Playing Equipment
Jerry Clardy Member From: El Paso, Texas, USA	posted 18 August 2004 04:47 AM profile Where can I find a listing of the recording steels and amps and effects Lloyd is now using? I see on the video "An Evening of E9th" with Tommy White, he's not playing a Sho-Bud. What was his rig for "Remember When?" [This message was edited by Jerry Clardy on 18 August 2004 at 04:49 AM.]
Tim Harr Member From: East Peoria, Illinois	posted 18 August 2004 05:58 AM profile I seemed to think he was using his Sho Bud and a small Fender tube amp.
Ricky Davis Moderator From: Spring, Texas USA	posted 18 August 2004 08:02 AM profile Jerry; this just in from Lloyd to answer your question. quote: "With the exception of "Revisited" (on which I used the Hot Rod Deluxe) every single recording I have played on since my return to sessions is that original Black Face Fender Twin Head and 15" D-130F JBL speaker, along with the trusty old Sho-Bud." Lloyd Green Here is a picture of Lloyd Green in the studio. Picture was taken by Bob Knight. By the way; those are custom cabinets built by Rick Johnson and they are Green with Gold Grill cloth..yeee haaa. As you can see; the blackface Fender Twin Head is in one cab. and the D-130 is in the other. Ricky [This message was edited by Ricky Davis on 18 August 2004 at 08:23 AM.]
Jim Lutz Member From: Austin, Texas	posted 18 August 2004 08:10 AM profile Man, how cool is THAT!!!? Great picture Ricky, keep 'em coming...
Jim Lutz Member From: Austin, Texas	posted 18 August 2004 08:12 AM profile Oh, and is that a Lawrence pickup I see???
Ricky Davis Moderator From: Spring, Texas USA	posted 18 August 2004 08:25 AM profile Yes Jim; Lloyd has a BL 710 in his Original 1973 Sho~bud LDG. Ricky
Walter Stettner Member From: Vienna, Austria	posted 18 August 2004 08:31 AM profile It is absolutely great to see that Lloyd is back in the studio and involved in a lot of interesting projects - the Paycheck-Tribute is just one, I know there is more to come! Feel free to check back for news on current recording projects: www.lloydgreentribute.com Kind Regards, Walter ------------------
John Billings Member From: Northfield Center, Ohio, USA	posted 18 August 2004 09:42 AM profile Great picture! Youse guys have all gotten the new cd , "Lloyd Green, Master of the Steel Strings", haven't you? 20 Little Darling cuts. I got my copy from CMT.com a couple of weeks ago. JB
Ricky Davis Moderator From: Spring, Texas USA	posted 18 August 2004 09:53 AM profile Oh and since I am such a HUGE Lloyd Green fan; I guess it's ok for me to brag on him with another little bit of recent trivia. As Lloyd came out of retirement more than a year ago; Alan Jackson wanted him to record on "Remember When", and we all know what happened with that song>#1. Well in the same session; Alan said: "hey Lloyd there's one more song I want you to record and it's real Country and will probably never see the Air"....of course Lloyd said yeah....and guess what song it was?? Yep; Alan's recent Release>"Too much of a Good Thing" and it's charted big time and probably has gone #1(I don't keep up with the charts particularly).... So there ya have it....If Lloyd Cuts on it; it will Go Number 1; well at least in my book it will. Go get'um Lloyd; we are all extremly proud of you. Ricky
Rick Johnson Member From: Wheelwright, Ky USA	posted 18 August 2004 09:58 AM profile Lloyd is a super great guy, I really enjoyed building his cabs. He has inspired me become a better player too. Thanks ------------------ Rick Johnson
Bill cole Member From: Cheektowaga, New York, USA	posted 18 August 2004 12:08 PM profile That could be a 710 but I would say it is a LXR-16
Bob Knight Member From: Bowling Green KY	posted 18 August 2004 12:27 PM profile It is a 710 Bill. [This message was edited by Bob Knight on 18 August 2004 at 12:27 PM.]
Craig A Davidson Member From: Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin USA	posted 18 August 2004 02:59 PM profile I would like to know if Lloyd's changer is the original or hs it been modified?
Ricky Davis Moderator From: Spring, Texas USA	posted 18 August 2004 06:24 PM profile Bob is correct of course. Craig that is top secret....ha...but if you can get Jeff Surratt or Duane Marrs on here to comment about it; that will be ok Rick Johnson; that is the coolest thing I have ever seen my brother and I already asked Lloyd if it would be "out of line" for me to inquire to you about doing the same for me(he said yes; it's not out of line..ha). I have a Fender twin blackface like Lloyd's and a D-130 and K-130 that Have GOT to go behind my LDG pictured below; and you'da Man to do it. Now wouldn't a Green cab. for the Fender head and two Green speaker cabs. all with gold grill cloth just look great behind that??? Ricky [This message was edited by Ricky Davis on 18 August 2004 at 06:27 PM.]
KENNY KRUPNICK Member From: Grove City,Ohio	posted 18 August 2004 10:03 PM profile Rick Johnson builds some great cabnets. He built me a single 1-15 cabinet,and my 1967 Fender Showman Reverb head looks GOOD settin' on top of it. It sounds SWEET!!!
Joe Yednasty Member From: Southwestern CT	posted 18 August 2004 10:10 PM profile Geez, I wish my name had some kind of color in it, I don't know what color equipment to use. ------------------ "Eskimo" Joe Yednasty Emmons P/P S-10 (70's?) Peavey Session 500
Jerry Clardy Member From: El Paso, Texas, USA	posted 19 August 2004 12:46 AM profile All I can say is KUDOS to Lloyd. He certainly can get the most from a straightforward rig. Thanks for the rundown on his equipment. (Does he use any particular delays or echos or compression?) Also, the picture below is on Tommy White's website for the video "Lloyd Green & Tommy White an Evening of E9th." I'm pretty sure this isn't a Sho-Bud. Any info on this session? [This message was edited by Jerry Clardy on 19 August 2004 at 12:59 AM.]
Winnie Winston Member From: Tawa, Wellington, NZ	posted 19 August 2004 02:13 AM profile Lloyd is playing a JCH. JW
Rick Johnson Member From: Wheelwright, Ky USA	posted 19 August 2004 04:11 AM profile Ricky I'd be glad to build something for you, if I'm not mistaken Lloyds speaker cab was about 21x21X10 with a 1" taper on the sides, I make them out of fingerjointed pine and the speaker baffle "floats" like the old Fenders did. I don't want to get into a debate of pine vs. plywood and before anyone raises the question "yes" b0b will get his donation to the Forum. Thanks ------------------ Rick Johnson
Duane Marrs Member From: Madison, Tennessee, USA	posted 19 August 2004 05:30 AM profile Yes ,Lloyd is using the 710 in his old Bud. We tried the XLR 16, but, it was just to shrill and I immediately reinstalled the 710. Later Lloyd experimented with a few more pickups and always came back to the 710, because of how quiet it is in the studio. As far as his speaker cabinets are concerned. The Alan Jackson Christmas album he used Duane's "Marrs" cabinet and the "Remember When" session he used the open-back "Marrs" cabinet I built for him. Both loaded with JBL D-130's. Lloyd has always been open about trying new things, however, seems to stay with what works well for him. Also, we would like to thank Lloyd for always taking time to sign lots of guitars for the guys that have requested it. Don't see him near as much since his session schedule has gone so nuts. Thanks for asking. Jeff Surratt
Dave Van Allen Member From: Doylestown, PA , US , Earth	posted 19 August 2004 07:27 AM profile Rick- is that a closed back on Lloyd's cabinet? any porting if so?
Mike Sweeney Member From: Nashville,TN,USA	posted 19 August 2004 07:29 AM profile Winnie, Lloyd is not playing a J.C.H. anymore. As a matter of fact Jimmy Crawford recently sold Lloyd's J.C.H. Lloyd is using his 1973 L.D.G. Sho~Bud all the time now. Mike
Ricky Davis Moderator From: Spring, Texas USA	posted 19 August 2004 07:40 AM profile Hey Cool Rick; and there's no debate to me about "Pine" that's what all my speaker cabs. I've made/have/had, are out of..ah..ha.. I'm headin' out of town for sessions and I will yell at ya when I'm back. Thanks Jeff for poppin' in and explaining the pickup situation on Lloyd's LDG further. Ricky
Rick Johnson Member From: Wheelwright, Ky USA	posted 19 August 2004 07:49 AM profile Dave Lloyds cab is open back, no ports. It has two rear panels about 4" wide. Ricky Davis Email me when you get back. Thanks ------------------ Rick Johnson [This message was edited by Rick Johnson on 19 August 2004 at 07:52 AM.]
Terry Sneed Member From: El Dorado, Arkansas, USA	posted 19 August 2004 08:09 AM profile I just watched the " To Much Of A Good Thing" video. Great traditional country song! as is most of Allan's songs. who is the steeler in the video? it's not Loyd for sure. Terry ------------------ 84 SKH Emmons Legrand D10 session 400'rd Steelin for my Lord.
Craig A Davidson Member From: Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin USA	posted 19 August 2004 04:35 PM profile Jeff, Did you guys update the changer in Lloyd's guitar?
Duane Marrs Member From: Madison, Tennessee, USA	posted 20 August 2004 08:22 AM profile The changer is the same. The fingers I replaced while Lloyd was working on the " Revisited" CD and the Jackson session's. It is a single raise single lower unit with double raises added to strings 4 and 5. The underneath we have made a few modifications to, for a more balanced pull with our BC pullers. The keys I replaced with new Grovers about the same time. Other than that the guitar is original, and in perfect condition for it's age. Lloyd has kept this guitar looking great considering the thousands of sessions he's done with it. Jeff
KENNY KRUPNICK Member From: Grove City,Ohio	posted 21 August 2004 11:49 AM profile Rick, I sure hope you can pry Lloyd to coming up to one of the shows here in Columbus.It would be a great honor to get to meet him. I have some of his recordings,and it's easy to see why a lot of folks refer to him as"Mr. Nashville Sound".
Tom Olson Member From: Spokane, WA	posted 21 August 2004 11:52 AM profile quote: Geez, I wish my name had some kind of color in it Joe, you can always change your name.
Rick Johnson Member From: Wheelwright, Ky USA	posted 23 August 2004 04:21 AM profile Kenny Lloyd told me that he was thinking of retiring, for a guy that has had a career like his and pretty much done it all, it would be time to slow down. I'm certainly glad to have met him and and his lovley wife, Dot. They are two super nice people. ------------------ Rick Johnson
