Ok here is the challenge, does anyone have a patch which sounds close to this !!

This guy is all feel and tone, and I believe he uses a Doctor Z and an analogman king of tone pedal.

Hope the clip below will help....

What I hear is 30% amp and 70% from his hands. Those tones are in TL. Start with a blackface and 4x10 cab.

I had never heard of him

I had never heard of him before.
I have no patch recommendation.
Just wanted to say thanks
for the introduction to Buddy.
Great feel and tone.

"It's that Les Paul-through-a-Marshall-tone that Eric [Clapton] refined in '66 -- it can't be topped! And although I play a Stratocaster through a Dr. Z amp onstage these days, it's that perfect Gibson/Marshall 'thaing' that we're all striving for!", muses Whittington.
Unlike countless rock 'n rollers who carry racks of guitars around for every show, Buddy likes to keep it simple and plays only one - his 1963 Stratocaster plugged into a Dr. Z amplifier.

You're welcome, i've only

You're welcome, i've only just found out about him myself, and the guy has been playing with John Mayall for years.

Worth a look at some of the other clips of him on youtube, there are some great ones.
