Genesis - Mike Rutherford's Taurus settings versus Dewtron
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 2:33 am
Hi folks,
I am new to this forum and I am heavily impressed by the breadth of knowledge even on meticulous details!
I guess that quite a few of you are into Genesis music as Mike Rutherford helped to make the Taurus sound popular.
Here are my questions:
Before the T1 came out in 1976 I understand that Mike used the Dewtron Mister Bassman bass pedals which sound quite different to me compared to the Taurus.
For reference here is a youtube link to a guy playing Genesis on a Dewtron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_721cV ... gs=pl%2Cwn
Therefore I wonder what settings Mike used on the T1 when playing Genesis songs originating prior to 1976, e.g Watcher of the skies, Musical Box which were frequently played as encores. Did he use the Taurus preset or did he use the variable setting on the T1 to sound closer to the Dewtron?
Also on the Lamb lies down on Broadway tour in 1975 he added quite a bit of bass pedals when playing live which were not on the studio version (e.g. on Hairless Heart). This must have been still Dewtron Mister Bassman or did he have access to the T1 already? Or did he alter the sound on the Archive 1 version of The Lamb (again Hearless Heart) before they released the Archive in 1998?
If anyone has an idea or any insights I would love to learn more.
Thanks,
Jens (happy T1 owner since recently)
