35 thoughts on “How to Get That Country Tele Sound!!

  • This is pretty much my rig, although,
    I use a Route 66 V1 pedal which gives me my OD/compression in one and than I added a MXR Phase 90 for the Waylon/Whitey Morgan stuff. But other than that, I have analog delay, line boost, oh and a Korg Pitch black tuner pedal lined out to my Fender Super-sonic 22. Between my rig and amp I can go pretty much anywhere tonally. Great video thanks!

  • Compressor made big difference for me. Can’t believe I played without one for so long. Now I keep it on all the time. The G string on telecasters can be really loud compared to the other strings and the comp prevents it from barking out over everything else. The string volume is all evened out. Of course a comp adds some “ snap and pop” to the tone which country is known for

  • I have that same amp, the Fender Hot Rod DeVille 60 watts with (4) x10" speakers with spring reverb. One thing I really believe in, in order to get that Tele sound you should play through a Tele.

  • It's useful to know pedal combinations for country guitar but for me, a complete newcomer to the genre, it took a while for the penny to drop that the majority of your country sound comes from your hands not any pedal. A country player will sound like a country player irrespective of whether he has a compressor or delay on, the pedals are simply the icing on the cake. Conversely if you don't know how to approach country guitar from a technique angle e.g. hybrid picking, pedal steel bends then no pedal/s will get you in the zone.

  • Kinda lost me at the last pedal, never been a fan of a twangy distorted sound. Otherwise not bad.

  • Come on down and they'll help you shape your sound! You won't get that treatment at the guitar center, they'll just try to sell you a bunch of stuff you don't need, and act like they know what your talking about lol.

  • If you cant get a country twang with your tele and fender amp alone..then you got no business playin' country, aside from a good compressor pedal!

  • What do you suggest for a good cheap mixer or pedal for the vocals and microphone amp?? For country sound

  • So…as I see it, all I gotta do is drop about $400 or $500 extra down after buying the Telecaster and DeVille….Whew….

  • Well .. just to let you know .. you need to turn your effect down as well … I know the "no mid" trick and I also play for Nashville artist … the video wasn't over tone .. and "my" tele tone had been sought after by many of Nashville artist new and old .., that was just a practice amp sitting in my room .. not my stage rig .. but thank you for your opinion.. it will be taken as that!

  • I have a pair of 71s, a deluxe reverb and a thinline tele. I know not everyone is this blessed but a hand wired deluxe reverb is one of the best amps in the world. If you want a great amp for the money check out the vht12/20rt, I've had a couple old deluxe reverbs and this amp comes the closest to them for under a grand you will find! It's hand wired and has built in pedal power outlet. It beats the pants off of the reissue deluxe reverb.

  • Swap that amp out for a Fender Twin and a Keeley comp! Also a fulltone OCD or GT-500 for a much more dialed in and bottom booming country twang!

  • Need to turn the reverb down… Run about 2 to 4 … and in my opinion if you are running an American tele then you don't need mids at all …. Email me for more details … Been playing for Nashville country artists for years ..

  • Yes, we would certainly recommend a bit 'less' in the mix of these effects.   We made them a little heavy just to show the effect, and what it does a little more starkly than how you would actually use it.   Good point.   This vid was intended to demonstrate the effects themselves…
