Which songs of the Get Lucky tour are played with the Tone King Imperial? And what was the amp setting?
Posted in: Amps,Mark Knopfler gear by Ingo on July 15, 2010
Visitors of the recent Get Lucky tour have seen the Tone King Imperial on stage again, located between two red Marshall cabs just like on the previous tours. I had ideal seats for the two concerts I have been to (Oberhausen and Amsterdam) and tried to make out for which songs Tone King was used, actually by trying to hear if the sound comes from the Marshall cab or from the Tone King.
It seems the Tone King was used on Donnegan’s gone and Piper to the End in Amsterdam (they did not play Donnegan’s gone in Oberhausen). By the way , on the last tour (Kill to get Crimson) it was used on Cannibals, True love will never fade, Our Shangri-la, and Postcards from Paraguay.
Here is a picture of the amp settings in Amsterdam:
I guess the clean channel (left) was for Donnegan’s gone, while the hotther right channel might be used for Piper to the End.
Of course I am not 100% sure, and the amp might have been used on other song’s too. If you can add some info, please do so with the comment function.

i can’t see that the clean channel is on as the first dial on on 0 = no volume ,must all be the drive channel?

The switch is on the rythm channel so it works only the rythm pots.
When I saw mark in 2008 it has different levels on his rythm pots than these in the photo.

The first three knobs (on the left) are for the lead channel. The 2nd row of three knobs are for the rhythm (clean) channel.
