Jake E. Lee's equipment

[metalchurch79]

Can ayone list Jake's live setup for the 'Bark at The Moon' Tour, and 'The Ultimate Sin' tour?

I know what guitars he used, but not the effects or amp.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Thank you, but I cannot access that page because I am not a member of that site. It is saying 'UNAUTHORIZED'.

Maybe if you have time you could copy and paste it? Thanks for your help.

The following is what Jake E Lee used for the recording of The Ultimate Sin.

For pickups Jake used two Dimarzio SDS-1 and an Seymour Duncan Allan Holdsworth prototype hum.

For his amps, he used a 1977 Marshall 100 watt head (stock) and a Marshall 50 watt head (circa 1964) with a straight Marshall 4X12 cab with EV speakers. Jake normally doubles and triple-tracks all his rhythm parts (Rock'N'Roll Rebel had four). All of the solos on The Ultimate Sin were played through the Marshall 50 watt with the exception of "Killer Of Giants", which was performed with an old Rockman and a Rat distortion pedal.

Jake used an array of Boss units, including: CE-3 Chorus; BF-2 Flanger; DM-2 Delay (rhythm); (2) DD-2 Digital Delays (lead); GE-7 Eq; SCC-700 computerized pedalboard; and a Variac (set between 90 and 1100) . The two digital units are set as follows; one for slow leads and a lot of delay; and one for normal leads with just a touch of delay.

Jake used a Boss OD-1 Overdrive to boost his Marshall amps and eliminate an unwanted low frequency when he cranked the bass control on his Marshalls. On the Boss OD-1, Jake turned up the Drive to approx. 9 o'clock and the Level to maximum.

Jake used Fender .121 picks. His string guage was .009; .012; .017; .026; .036; and .048.

The clean parts during the verses on "Shot In The Dark" are a 1957 Fender strat through a Roland Jazz Chorus amp.

The acoustics on The Ultimate Sin were an old Martin steel-string and a cheap nylon string which "happened to stay in tune".



Hope that helps ya.

This is sweet!! Thanks for the info everyone, that was really cool of you guys to hook me up.

I don't remember seeing Jake using a 'Holdsworth' Strat that was red with a mirror pickguard. Anyone have pictures of this?

And this Seymour Duncan 'Holdsworth' humbucker, it was a prototype that had double rows of screws as opposed to the JB, which had only 1 row.

Does anyone know if there was a successor to the proto-Holdsworth?
I'm assuming it was the JB.

Joe, you are the man!
I really like that! And you know what, a local shop has a Wine Red MexiStrat. I'm getting an idea....

Jake has always been one of my fav players, and being a fan, like many of you, it has always been hard to find info on the guy,which can be frustrating sometimes.

Thanks for hooking me up!

P.S. Joe, could you edit the pics you posted, so that there's a space between them, so i can right click and save them individually? Right now they are both grouped together. Thanks brother

[toejam]

No problem, Joe. Pics are separated now.

Oh! That equipment...

the JB and AH bucker are similar in specs
the AH is a lot smoother with a rounder treble
AFAIN there was no other allan holdsworth pup from duncan just the one

[metalchurch79]

Savage, thanks for all of your help so far.
So, the prototype Holdsworth humbucker was actually put into production?
If so, what was the model # (ie: Seymour Duncan AH-1?)

Was the Holdsworth Strat a production model? If so what years? What were some of the specs? Any links?

Was the JB made before or after the Holdsworth humbucker?

Seemed like Jake had the same taste in specs as Allen, because they both used similar humbuckers, and Jake even used a Holdsworth Strat at one point.
This is getting really interesting actually. Like I said I haven't found much info on Jake, so please bear with me as I pick you guy's brains on this.
