Lindley Overdrive Special

I found this cool pic of David Lindley's ODS, I think it's a pretty early version judging by the cabinet and the gold face plate

I know it does, and it has sone "soul" to boot!!.

I like naturally reliced guitars and amps.

Those national Dynamic lap steels from the late40's are GREAT, I have a national new Yorker same era, it NAILS that tone on "Running on Empty".

Speaking of "Running on Empty", what sort of circuit was that? Non-HRM with the 100k/1.5k values and the non-Skyliner stack?

Best live guitar i've ever heard in my life.

God bless David Lindley.

Cool looking rig. What type of p'up is in the lap steel? And what do the knobs do...just volume and tone? I have an old mother-of-toilet-seat Dickerson Lap Steel guitar with the matching amp...it's just a little 1x6V6 1x8" amp that originally had all metal envelope tubes and a field-coil speaker (now has an OT and a Jensen Special Design speaker). I assume it's from the 1940s. But this old Lap Steel sounds great...it uses a single-coil but it has a unique tone...and the Tone knobs works fantastic...the 'woman tone growl' when you roll it back is awesome. Originally intended for 110vac...the voltages are quite high in this amp...like ~450vdc using a 5Y3 IIRC...for some reason I have a 5V4G in it in this picture (I tried it with a GZ34 once , it sounded fantastic but I only ran it for a few minutes like that...I can't remember the plate voltage but it was close to 500vdc). Plate runs slightly cherry with a 5Y3. Totally PTP inside.

It's all in really good condition, especially the guitar...that MOTS seems to hold up pretty well.

The P/U in the Nat'l is stock, early 50's vintage. I believe Jason Lollar makes a copy of it. It's not as cool sounding as a Ricky by any means.

anybody give me a heads up on any of his records that capture the vibe from this era you tube clips? Killer stuff but the records I've been checking out are a little um ........... er.................. cheesey (ducks for cover)

El Rayo X is good, but in the typical lindley style, a bit campy. David doesn't take anything seriously!!

BTW The reggae version of wherewolves of london makes it all worth it!!
