A Conversation with David Wilcox (continued)
PM: You and Richard Thompson, to me, have the best acoustic guitar sounds I've heard on the stage.
DW: [laughs] And they're so different. They're completely different.That's great.
PM: Very different.
DW: Richard just plays the Sunrise through the Mesa Boogie preamp,so he gets that sort of electric sound.
PM: He plays it through a Mesa Boogie preamp?
DW: Oh, yeah, a tube preamp. And it's from the UK, so it runs on 220, and so he's got this big power adapter up there. And it's a very electric
sound. It's compressed, and it's got just a wonderful punch to it. And my sound is, you know�
PM: So warm and�
DW: Sort of hi-fi, comparatively.
PM: Yeah.
DW: And yet it's bigger in the way that it's got much lower frequencies, and it's got some higher crispier frequencies. And it is gentler in many ways. It doesn't have the same punch. And yet it's so much more�oh, I don't know, symphonic I'm thinking. [laughs]
PM: Oh, yeah, much more hi-fi, as you said. Because when I saw Richard, I thought he was using that big fat Sunrise preamp on the stage, you know the one that Kaufman makes, that little forty-pound transformer deal.
DW: That's an amazing piece of gear.
PM: Yeah. When I saw him, he had this one real tall blond guy who did his sound, and he walked in with a Haliburton and inside was the big Sunrise transformer, and he mixed the show. I managed sales for Mesa Boogie for, oh, a decade or so. And so I'm amazed to hear he's playing with a Mesa Boogie preamp.
DW: Well, actually, my information is probably a year and a half old, so I don't know.
PM: Yeah, mine is older.
DW: Oh, okay.
PM: Jeez, your rig is so pristine. It sounds so amazing.
DW: Thank you.
PM: Is it a trade secret?
DW: Oh, no.
PM: Are there any aspects of it that you might disclose?
DW: Sure. If people want to know about my sound, they can just call Greg at Pendulum Audio, and he can send them, in a box, this very sound that I'm getting.
PM: Really?
DW: Yeah.
