Santana's gear:

PRS Guitars - Ibanez Tube Screamers - Mesa Boogie Amps - Metal Picks...

so kung medyo on budget ka eto recommend ko:

of course set aside axperience and playing skill ok?

1. any Humbucker equipped guitar on bridge and neck ( an Epi LP Standard wud be good)
string set 9-42...

2. an OD pedal (Badmonkey or better yet a Boss SD1 para sa midrange hump)

3. a good tube amp combo (kung SS combo u might wanna try too add a booster of some sort)

* use humbucker bridge pickups for classic Santana solos and neck pickups for Santanesque licks!

* don't scoop the mids on the amp, you may want  to boost midrange pa nga...drive it so it's really ODelicious!!! add slight hint of reverb...

* use the OD Pedals to have more gain (specially if u want to cop Carlos' signature sustain/feedback) watch out for the pedal's tone control (hinay lang sa highs)

* i believe Sanatana's rhythym tones are mostly done by lowering the volume on his guitar...

play with so much love and passion!!!  :-D

Rock On!!!

yup, you would actually have to play like him. learn his style, licks, and approach, then apply them to your playing.

well, totoo yun  :-D

to get close, you'll want a guitar with a humbucker. Then a midrange heavy OD pedal like an SD-1 or TS set to low-ish gain and very high output for that glassy, fat sustaining tone. Then a good tube amp with a lot of midrange on the EQ  :-D
