Saw this on YT from some recent shows. Obviously Ed sounds incredible through anything but I think this clip highlights how versatile the bud can be.
I can’t tell if Yotem is also plugged into a bud. If so, I feel like yotem’s sound demonstrates the mid range sound with all the knobs at noon. I can’t confirm for sure but Ed’s sound is much more scooped, which is more of what I try to get out of the bud by turning the high mids all the way down. Anyway I could be totally wrong about the EQ settings but regardless it demonstrates how great of a tone you can get with a henriksen and a plank.

Honestly the thread title should be “Ed cherry sounding killer” I don’t mean to make it overly about gear.
-
Ed Cherry is a wonderful player.

That sounds killer. This is also a great clip, but with an archtop

That is smoking tone and nice phrasing, Ed is certainly top notch and I like that I believe he works very intuitively. In other words, he plays his ears and worry's less about things that get the rest of us mortal in trouble.

Holy grail nano reverb. I’ve heard Ed is picky about reverb and usually brings this along or his 90s Alesis nanoverb. I don’t blame him I really dislike the reverb on the henriksen. Too much slap back and too much pitch warble on the henriksen reverb. Originally Posted by rpjazzguitar

I have been using solid body guitars and Henriksen amps on my solo gigs for several years now. Great jazz tone combined with lots of sustain makes that a superb rig for me. I still bring a 175 for band gigs where I am called upon to play traditional rhythm guitar. A solid body does not provide me with the necessary crunch.

Both Yotem and Ed are playing guitars made by Valle guitars, who make fender inspired solid bodies. I don’t know the exact model pickup Ed has in his guitar but I’m pretty sure it’s one of the standard lollar tele pickups. Originally Posted by kevmoga

Different guitar. That one has a p90. I wonder if it was a custom that someone ordered based on Ed’s but I don’t think I’ve seen him play a p90 tele outside of this demo. Originally Posted by gitman

Yes. I have nothing to add to your comment. That is perfect Originally Posted by omphalopsychos

Memories, memories… That’s a piece of kit I never should’ve let go. Originally Posted by omphalopsychos

Here’s Ed playing, I believe the same Valle guitar, a couple years ago through a Henriksen Forte.

Thanks for posting that Albert. My takeaway from that video is this:
Ed Cherry is as good as they get; and
A Fender type guitar with a Henriksen amp is all you need for a great jazz guitar sound.
My working trio these days is Guitar/Bass/Accordion. I usually use a 175/Henriksen pairing with that trio. I am going to have to try one of my Strats next time.

More of Ed and that Tele from last night. This time Ed is plugged into a Deluxe Reverb.
PB also on the gig and he's plugged into a Henriksen. Looks like Henriksen is catching on as a backline amp in NY. I know Bar Next Door has had one for a long time, seems Zinc and Birdland now have one.

Yes! I call Ed the “real” real deal. Originally Posted by Stringswinger

Probably the best jazz sound i've heard from a solid body! Great player, however a lot of the bass portion in his sound comes from the way he holds the pick. A traditional grip would sound a lot less full and a lot more trebly in character, so the difference between a solid body and an archtop would be greater.
Haven't listened to him for a while.. he's like a jazz encyclopedia, plays everything!
-
Ed sounds amazing! Any idea what string gauge? More evidence for the argument that a tele can do just about anything, but I wonder about strings used here, gauge and flats vs. rounds.
-
Don't know what's on this guitar (probably flats), but from his website he endorses these strings:
Linea Rossa Vintage Jazz long Scale Flat Wound
-
No idea if ed plays those on his tele, but I bought a set for one of my WesMos based on Ed's endorsement. Best flatwound I've ever played. Originally Posted by Alter
