Looked like one of the new Fender amps. Not his sound at all.

I agree, his sound wasn't the 'Paul Franklin' sound.
Seems it was flat, missing something, but then I give a million bucks to sound like Paul on that video. |

This appearance is from almost a year ago, I remembered Jenny McCarthy's interesting pronunciation of "virtuoso" at the beginning of the segment.
If you want to read more opinions, here is the thread from Feb. 2014:

Not everyone will click on the link to read the old thread, so here was my take at the time:

If you're not being facetious Barry, then I'm guessing it's because they hopped a plane out of Nashville and were going for the minimalist approach and had a local back line supplier get him a Twin, same as when they appeared on Leno recently, just the two of them and backed up on that show by some of the members of Jay's band.
No tour coach or equipment truck for these quick TV gigs. When most of us bought our copies of Bakersfield the Cracker Barrel edition with four extra songs wasn't out and the main tour supporting the album has come and gone. So it seems that Vince and Paul are scrambling around to make appearances and give a shot in the arm to the Cracker Barrel edition. When they played here last fall Paul had a Little Walter head with a pair of cabinets. Less crap to deal with on an airplane, he's already got that D-10 Franklin to contend with.
As far as tone and TV broadcasts, I guess you have to take it all with a grain of salt. I was speaking with Jerry Douglas after a show a number of years ago and I mentioned that on a recent at the time TV special with Alison Krauss & Union Station, his dobro tone didn't come off so great. He told me it all depends on the "feed" - what they're hearing in the TV studio during the show and what one gets on TV or in a video can be very different.
I liked it (Paul and Vince). Pretty rare to see two of the very best in the game, a guy with just an acoustic guitar and a vocal accompanied by a pedal steel player, singing a great tune by a songwriter who would be on the Mount Rushmore of songwriters were there such a thing.

| You're at the mercy of the sound engineer. One who doesn't "appreciate" the steel guitar could mangle even Jimmy Day's tone. I've done several recording sessions; semi-satisfied with my overall tone, only to acquire the CD, album later; and the mixing engineer destroyed it. |

David, IÂ think what you're referring to is a different subject, a studio recording and how an engineer "interprets" an instrument in the mix for the eventual CD, as opposed to what Jerry Douglas told me regarding TV appearances that I related in my post.
The engineer in the TV studio might have gotten it right for the folks who there that day enjoying the performance in person, what comes out of one's television speakers from the "feed" might be very different.

This is so beautiful, so, honest. His sound or not, it is the Franklin touch. Love it!

IMO the tone from that performance was EXACTLY what you would want for a live session like that.
