Ritchie is the epitome of an oldschool hard knocks musician. This guy's heart literally exploded on stage, yet he rocks on! We could all learn something from him.

So great to see Richie again. He remains my favorite “new” guitarist.

Richie is always such a pleasant guy in every interview I've ever seen

Loved his contribution to Judas Preist, & then I saw him live & he was even better. What an incredible event having survived an aortic aneurysm on stage & it was not his day to die. Shred on Ritchie!🤘🏼

Both are nice imo😂

Ritchie is a good guy. He started out with the covers band i played drums with in Walthamstow. We played all over North London. He was so good even as a teenager. He was always fixed on playing a Vee. I tried to steer him towards a les paul...i guess it worked out ❤😂

I Love what Ritchie does. One of my favorite players in the game. And he's just a good guy to top it off. Great player. Glad he's doing well !!~ Gonna have to see him LIVE !

That Flying V is GORGIOUS!!!!

Cool, old school, straight from the heart. I've got a similar rig, and I love it. I've gotta wrestle with it, and when you play to it right, it's extremely rewarding.

I never thought about this before but yeah, having the pedals spread out like that makes a lot more sense.

Great video, awesome to hear Richie talk about just using a few pedals, watching him play up close is top notch, Beautiful V. Thanks🤘🤘🤘

I love Richie since I heard him playing in St. Petersburg (via yt). So good to hear him back, healthy!, and rocking out like a god. Beautiful V too! Thanks for this.

Great guy, great player, fabulous tone!

So good to see a British axeman totally Killing it awesome ⚡️

Richie is a guitar beast!! I love richie!!!

Awesome! Richie seems a great guy! Very cool video! Amazing tone!

richie faulkner is always an absolute pleasure to hear speak or play.

If you look at him playing on the elegant weapons tour he is not even playing Marshalls he is now using wizard amps

It amazes me how so many great guitarists have simple set-ups. A few classic pedals into a marshall.

Just saw Ritchie play last night in Daytona… The man freakin killed it.

That’s a proper rock guitar player right there. Geezus H. Just killin. 🤘🏼

He literally has a scar that tells the story of what he's been thru!! Hoping for great health and many more years of his amazing ability and contribution!! ❤🎉❤

Richie Faulkner is most certainly going down in history as one of the great guitar legends

Richie is a beast player..........His bands work here should be monstrous. I still have yet to catch him in a live setting but I'm working on it. Rock on Richie and btw....................Thank you Sweetwater and Don Carr.

What a cool amazing killer sick Gibson signature V while I love the color scheme I love how it looks and sounds at things amazing

I love his pedal board approach 😂😂❤❤🤟🤟

Amazing Richie!

Awesome!!!❤❤💯💯

Great sounding rig

Great player and sound, he knows his stuff. New Priest songs are killer too!

Rock on 💪💪💪!

That is a good looking guitar!!!

Good guy, glad he's healthy and ripping again :)

He‘s the man !🫶🎸🤘🔥

That was great 👍.. Always liked Richie... Just shows that you don't need a ton of gear to sound awesome:).. Off course skill and great amps help.

It’s refreshing to see a great player who knows the gear that works, but doesn’t take it too seriously. No pedalboard? Classic.

How's it going guys? always love a good pedal board review! mine is still waiting to be put together 😂I swear i have nice pedals ,board ,power supply and i have not put it together 😂😂 thanks for this Don and Ritchie ..🤘🍻🎸😀

Richie is a great guy and killer guitar player.

This has a total spinal tap vibe! lol

I did the exact same thing with my pedals in my early days of playing gigs.

amazing very good guitarist

That sounded amazing and Nigel really looks good for his age.

Great player. I like his old school approach. Not a fan of distorted chorus but to each their own.

Awesome.

Super!!

Richie is a monster ❤🤘

MXR+ into a Plexi - tried and true by Dave Murray, Randy Rhoads, and others; over 40yrs ago, sounds great!

The Falcon has a little Zakk in him when that chorus and wah are in play. I dig it. He could join Zakk as a living legend when it comes to rock guitar.

The best tone I ever got was running dirt boxes like a Boss SD-1, Overdrive, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Rat or MXR through the front of a JMP I played in the 80s. I never liked most high gain amps. The JMP having one channel got dirty enough for me to push it in the right direction. It was a god-like tone. My Boogie had far more onboard gain, but never had the feel or the tone of the pushed Marshall. There's no reason not to keep a simple signal chain.

@larslevinberget9558

6 ай бұрын

Yes...I had a 1979 JMP 2203 blue half stack and my stock ESP Horizon Custom the pickups were their own DiMarzio X2N type and Hot rails style, so I used a KORG Overdrive and split the signal via a KORG chorus just to be special :D stereo to an old JTM Plexi half stack or a brown Club and Country 212 ... that was 1988 - before the Peavey VTM stacks and racks

Saw Priest last night in Minneapolis. Devastating performance.

RHRF, Falcon!! 🤘👽🎸

Richie Faulkner is by far one of the best guitarists on the planet if not the best

Very oldschool 70s/80s hardrock sound. I expected a bit more modern having listened to the latest Priest.

That's what I call a fully saturated tone! Your customized axe, a few pedals into a Marshall JCM800 and a Plexi - that was the key to a great sound in 1985 and still is! Just add delay, depending on the environment...

So not sure if i missed it but what were all the pedals he used as i only seen like three

That’s real… well done

Cool rig. Is Richie splitting the signal to get stereo JCM800 on one side and 59 on other, such that the distortion pedal is hitting both of them?

@larslevinberget9558

6 ай бұрын

good question...I'd guess he splits the signal either by linking the 2203 amp from one of the low inputs (that will then be parallell outputs) on the 1959 head ... OR ... splitting via the stereo outputs on the chorus or Uni-vibe if there are any

It would be nice if some true JO fans stopped calling Richie a replacement. He brought new fresh ideas and JP are thriving right now. IS album is gonna rock🎉

Seriously one of my Childhood Heros!!! Breaking the LAW

I get Spinal Tap vibes from this episode 😁

In a world full of modeling amps I love the fact richie is old school,none of that modeling stuff,a guitar,effects and amp,less is more as quoted by zakk wylde

The kind of guitar player I want to be. I’ve seen priest many times and I gotta say they’ve never sounded better. The drummer in priest makes me air drum.

Doug Aldrich and Ritchie should do something in the future. An instrumental guitar based record. Michael Schenker should have a signature based wah pedal.

@larslevinberget9558

6 ай бұрын

Totally agree to both! If ONE man should have a signature CryBaby, that would be Schenker! Trouble is, that would be a re-labeling of the Crybaby Classic, which again is a reissue of the Italian JEN :D Just like, a Schenker amp would be a reissue of the 2205 that was meant as his signature head in the first place ;)

How does he split the signal to run both amps? It’s crazy how the chorus sounds good running in front of the pre amp!

@AndersViting

6 ай бұрын

He doesn't appear to split it through a pedal, like a stereo chorus, from what I see. I think what we're hearing is two separate microphones, recording both amps and applying some sort of stereo effect on that console, behind the interviewer. On the other hand, he might use a splitter for the guitar to be played through two amps, but the pedals are plugged into only one of them. But that's just my assumption.

🤘❤️🤘

MARSHALL and AXE... That's all you need 😁🤘

But what's the big green box thingy?

Is the V comming back? Gibson lists it as "discontuned"?

Richie's Marshall goes up to 11 !

Got an 84 rocker, and a 94 1987 RI plexi...But like JP I'm playing ENGL's on stage

He does not use the distortion plus into the jcm800 tho? That would not sound good I’d think, I’d also think you do need a boost with it. Unless his is modded. Didn’t really get any info here

If you told me that was Christian Bale, I think I'd believe you...

Distortion + into a plexi. sounds like Randy!

Probs taking a dry signal for re-amping. It's a studio thing.

Is that actually Bill Nighy as Richie? Suspiciously similar

Does that mean there’s going to be a USA line signature Flying V??

We're you at Wal Mart yesterday , in north port ,, 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏

I'm hoping its rechargeable batteries. The Li-ion 9 volts are great.

Well, Richie ... 😅 That Metal covered Ogre Tubeholic overdrive or delay effector is actually made in Korea. But you've bought it in Japan. But all those gimmicks are nothing without great skills of a guitarist and you've got that already . 😂LoL

could someone explain how he's connected to both amps?
