The more experienced I get over time, the less I feel it's important to clone any musician's (including Jerry) entire array of gear to cop his tone. Rather, I'm primarily concerned with assembling the correct type and compliment of gear - and critically importantly, working on my right-hand technique (greatly underrated in most gear discussions) - to emulate the other guy's tone. Sometimes this can mean using some or most of the same exact gear as the other musician; other times, it means dialing in equivalent tone with other gear. To me, trying to sound just like anyone else, even with the exact same gear as him, is chasing after wind, anyway, if your attack and technique is different. Just an observation. Others may differ (if yes, chime in). This being said, the one piece of gear I would not want to do without any more is my SMS Classic Preamp. I simply haven't encountered anything better than it at what it does (at least in its weight class!).

Jerry would be the first to tell us, "I never spent my life slavishly copying anyone."
