No, because Larry Carlton's guitar solo on Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne was recorded in the mid 70s, and Fu Manchu's cover of Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult was recorded in the late 90s, and those are the two best guitar sounds, so QED the 80s did not have the greatest guitar tones.

Still Got The Blues was released in 1990 but was recorded in 1989.
That chorus sound is unbelievable 👌
Absolutely glorious tones brother. The trichorus + detune sounds so so good! 4:25 - my feelings exactly!!! Thank you!
Landau's detune settings that he mentioned in a recent interview are: L -13 cents, 20ms, R +13 cents, 25ms. Popped those into the H3000 D/SE and it sounds about right. I just put together a board with the HX Stomp, you can do the Tri Stereo Chorus and stereo pitch Detune in paralell on the HX, sounds rather nice!
I’ve been content with a mxr carbon copy in my loop for a long time. Maybe I’m just old fashioned. Also, “money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy guitar gear” needs to me made into a t-shirt.

Rocco, may I ask, did you end up getting to try the Tricerachorus? I've been debating between which to get: the Tricerachorus or the Tri-Avatar.
Good call on the trichorus, Dimension C was also popular at the time and, arguably, more widely used. Shiva made a trichorus pedal which is still around although harder to find, for the cheapskates, Nux Core Chorus offers trichorus setting and the Line 6 M5 offers both trichorus AND Dimension D emulations (but not together unfortunately). You're spot on for delays too - typically long and short together - 315ms and 600ms (Lukather) or sometimes 400 and 800ms (Billy Duffy). Reverb was typically plate (sometimes hall) with a looooooooooong tail (up to 4 seconds). For dirt sounds, the chorus typically came before the distortion to thicken it up. Interesting that you're putting the comp after the pre because that is going to raise the post gain noise floor somewhat.
@LeonTodd
2 жыл бұрын
Yeah the comp definitely ups the sizzle! I've got the Klark Teknik BBD320 which is absolutely killer for dimension sounds and IMO is a little more subtle and a bit less niche than the Tri, so it kinda works on more stuff. Parallel universe version of this would probably be Keeley Comp -> DC-2w -> Strymon DiG -> Poly Beebo with the Lexicon 224 Reverb IR's
@Crazykiwi2

@@LeonTodd That Klark Teknik is a great find for the price! You could probably cover gain in a separate video as well. Master Effects in Canada do a decent replica of a Mesa Mark 4 series called the Tetragon aka M4. TCJ Effects do something that replicates a boosted JCM800 called the Bombastortion. Lukather has one in his pedal board for solos. Both are surprisingly reasonable in price. Although I hope the prices don't go up if you do mention them! :) Speaking of which, Richard Watson has covered similar ground here but more from a US session heroes Landau/Huff perspective: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIKfq9CylLO8frA.html

Yeah, pretty much nailed it. But you make an excellent point about the pedals vs an effects modeler. I love my Helix, but I do wonder if I'd be more inclined to experiment with a pedal, whose knobs just seem to call out for twisting.

Here's a tip dialing in multiple FX buffers in a recentish tps video they turned on a heap of buffers at once and found that the tone was somewhat more compressed... so you wanna turn all the pedals on at once with the mix on zero including the comp and dial in from there Also with an axefx model or IR/attenuation setup we tend to run the master volume / Poweramp in ways that would blow our heads off if we were sitting in front of a tube anp/cabinet dialing in say a dynacomp (think the phase inverter in a Marshall model) So it can help to run a compressor model a good bit lower if you've got your amp tone dialed in I mean it depends what you ultimately want of course Cheers Leon!

When you added the trichorus I went, oh my God! Lol
Really cool, although one of the benefits of the old rack gear which is harder to duplicate with pedals is the programmability of rack gear with presets and MIDI control. I know some pedals have MIDI control, but there would need to be something like a pedal loop switcher to take full advantage of it. And then you do start to get close to the price of some of the all-in-one units. But still... there is still something fun about pedals.
@LeonTodd

Everything except the comp here supports MIDI. As you said though, then you're adding a switcher to your board and dragging the entire vibe more towards a "multifx" style thing anyway.

You still can get close with just a regular chorus and an analog echo. I know that is not exactly the same but imho it is close enough and affordable.
Listening to your chorus sounds and I felt like I was in Lethal Weapon
The reverb stopped working on my old early 90s crate, can I use the mercury 7 to just add reverb and still keep the sound i get from my amp settings?
I have a kind of poor man's version of all of this for my band (we do a sort of punk-tinged UFO/Saxon/Judas Priest thing), and with me being an 80's kid, I just HAVE to have some shimmer and depth in my leads. I'm running a 2000 LP into an MXR Phase 90, MXR Q zone (both for my EVH and Schenker fix), a Digitech Multi Chorus (very effective bargain bin modulation), a Freidman Dirty Shirley for the crunch, EHX Silencer, then for lead boost into send return of a Lehle lop box I have a Boss GE7 eq for vol and slight 1k bump, A DD7 for echos btwn 300-400 ms, and a TC Flashback for 40-70ms delay. One push on the Lehle engages the EQ and delays. Chorus/Phase etc to taste. These all go from pedalboard into a Quilter Tone Block 202 amp (great pedal platform) and out of a 1960A cab with 2xV30s and 2x G12T75s. Cheap but really does the job and compact for a quick gig occasionally hehe. My vintage Gallien, ADA and Alesis etc rack stuff stays in my office, looking like some Star Trek console. Cheers
The tri-chorus sound made me think of Tesla's Hang Though. Although I think most of the chorus is delivered by the bass track actually. So rare to notice effects on bass tracks, for me at least. I'll be honest and say I've been looking to get out of pedals for some years now (although still grabbing nice ones here and there, I'm not trying to get rid of them), and looking to have rack units that would do all the business, having just the bare minimum like a preset MIDI board in the feet for simplicity, somewhat of a plugging straight into the amp guy. The pedal tap dance and cabling and positioning everything in the feet feels a bit too much, but obviously the world is moving in that direction (so much cheaper to do it in pedals as well, for both sides of the market). And it's obvious why too, just a couple of rack units and not even a 2 slot tube power amp (just that lee jackson 1 unit, even though it's heavy as sins) and I can barely get the rack box lifted from the ground. And everybody is doing pedals on youtube these days. So I'm not that into pedal videos, but this context is good for many and I'm sure I'm in the very margin of it, the channel just needs videos like this to keep afloat. There's not an endless list of good rack units available, if even existing. And you do a good job. Can tell it's late october video, just saw the door creep open when you engaged the delay. Can you talk about being a youtuber of your kind in some of your QA videos? Like it might seem like a simple thing "just play a bit of guitar and release the video", but it's somewhat niche topic and to keep finding the units and topics, figuring out an interesting perspective that everybody else hasn't done already. The editing and perhaps the bit I've noticed the most, you're VERY active engaging your community in the comments. It must take a lot of your day and the payout is tight, and then you're running a gigging and recording band.

Sounds great! I got some questions: How did you get it to sound dirty at 9:10 for example, is the order you presented the pedals in the same for signal chain, and which if these pedals would you run in front of the amp and in the effects loop?
@spazlabconcepts4033
Жыл бұрын
The rule of thumb has been gain based (clean boost, overdrive, distortion, eq, and compression) go to the input while time based (chorus, delay, reverb, etc) are loop. However, switching orders and where they are in the chain does create different sonic characters. Example, Zakk Wylde doesn't use a loop and has a chorus pedal in front of the amp. I also put a chorus after my delay (backwards to the rule of thumb) with awesome results.
