Deltablues	Re: Calling all blueshounds Ok, first if you want the entire scoop, check out the write up on Stevie on my website at http://www.deltabluesman.com under the "Blues Legends". The abridged version goes like this. He used a 59 strat with slightly overwound single coils. He used several different amp setups during his career. The constant was that he used combinations of amps known for their clean overdrive. This included Super Reverbs, Vibroverbs, and Dumbles. His main pedal was the Ibanez TS808, but he also used TS9's, and Dallas Arbiter Fuzzfaces. Oh yeah, he also tuned to Eb using heavy strings for a beefier tone. They went as high as .13's but in later years he used 12's to save his fingers a little.
