Brian May's Red Special sound samples
Just some reference sounds with my Tour equipment.
I preferred to capture the sound in the room instead of close mic'ing the amps.
Here's the rig:
- Ferrari Red Special replica
- Fryer Touring Treble Booster
- Nick James phaser (for just one clip)
- Boss CE-20
- Vox AC30 CC2X
- Vox AC30 Brian May Custom

@ Thanks bro!
It'll be 4 AM in my time zone, so I'll still be asleep when this starts. 🥲
This is great. I'm always interested in knowing more and more about which pickup combinations Brian uses. Thanks for making this video.
I’ve always appreciated the way the two outside pickups out of phase effectively sound like an electric sitar, while the neck + middle out of phase almost sound like a banjo when you aren’t using any distortion or treble booster effects. There’s also that extra added warmth coming from the fact that this is a semi hollow guitar model.
OMG! Beautiful playing! Please make an hour version of this LOVE FROM GERMANY
Not only do you have a great sound, (sounds to me like you're also using the sixpence coin as well), but your "touch" on the strings with your fretting hand is just right as well. You def got a sub from me. Nicely done !!!

What was the attenuation levels here? Please tell me you had them on! Or earplugs! Considering you can still hear the guitar acoustically, I'm guessing pretty low in volume? 🤣

I tried his older models (basic and extreme)…many of them. Nice replicas, well made. Never tried his newer models.
Idle question: on single-pickup settings, how much does the sound change, if you pick the strings at different distances from the active pickup? Especially with the neck one. Thank you.

Marco, help me if you can! I understand that your Red Special, like Brian May's, has a variation in the volume knob that allows you to use the same Drive to use a clean sound, crunch and a lot of drive just by adjusting the volume, your guitar has a volume knob Special ? a specific button just for her? I ask this because in my Red Special, in order for me to get a cleaner sound, my volume has to be below 5%, it almost cuts the signal, and above that it has the same sound from 10% volume to 100%.

Turn up your amp volume knob. If it's a valve one, will work.

Ciao marco ottimo medley eccellente, molto bravo come sempre , da fan dei Queen mi sapresti consigliare tra replica bmg natural brian may in torni ai 650€ con ponte wilkinson e bmg antique cerry con pick up burns tri sonic brian may a €750 , ne ho trovata una modificata che la fa via a €2000 in pratica è una bmg antique cerry modificata meccaniche autobloccanti in madre perla i pick up sono rimasti i brian may e il ponte sostituito con il ponte a rulli come l'originale , vale la pena e difficile da settare o meglio il wilkinson da settare quello che si trova sulle repliche bmg

@@MarcoGDiMarco Grazie Marco, anche perché ho giusto tra le mani un 'occasione sia per l'ac10 che per l'ac15 e volevo fare il salto su un ampli "vero". Avrei ancora una domanda. Nelle pedaliere di Brian e nemmeno nelle tue non vedo pedali di volume o altro per uscire dal mix nei soli. Mi sorge dunque la curiosità: è il fonico che ti segue durante il concerto o è solo la mancanza del cantato che fa emergere la chitarra ?
