Today I show you my favorite Anti-Pedals - guitar effect units that aren't exactly portable or plug-n-play, but nonetheless are extremely inspiring and fun units to play. In the comments below tell me what your favorite Anti-Pedal from today was and what Anti-Pedals you own! Also tell me what you think about a-ha's "Hunting High And Low" and another sleeper mid-80's record that you love.

Back in '85 (or around that time) I had a Boss walkman-sized headphone-amp. It had built-in distortion, tone-controls and chorus/flanger/verb. I actually used it in my setup, on bass, to get a really heavy distortion going on. Do you know that unit? Unfortunately I don't recall it's model number, but it would be awesome to see it reviewed/demo'ed :)

I'm disabled and on a very limited income, but my guitar helps me cope with pain and the tribulations of life. Your videos are entertaining and educational. You've helped me find less expensive ways to get great sounds and your enthusiasm inspires me to find even greater joy in making music. Thanks for the work you do, and for sharing your joy. Peace & blessings!

I walked into a new nightclub in Melbourne, Australia last year. Turned out to be a cocktail bar; not really my thing and I wasn't crazy about the menu ... then I saw a Leslie cabinet sitting on the stage. I hadn't been in the presence of a real Leslie in 20 years. I stayed. The physical experience of a real Leslie is something that no pedal or emulator can even come close to. Your Leslie gets my vote.

AK, blues-rock powerhouse Tab Benoit hosts a 3-day *free* music festival every October in his hometown of Houma Louisiana*. There were two Leslie's on the stage ( one for a backup/ spare), and about half of the bands used it. And yeah, THAT SOUND! Ain't nothin' else like it! Some years back I saw a quadruple-bill show featuring Tommy Castro, John Hiatt, Buddy Guy, and BB King. BB had a huge guy, Tommy T I think they called him, playing a Hammond B3 thru a Leslie, and I practically levitated! *the Voice of the Wetlands festival. Excellent mix of local and national talent. A boatload of great guitar players and several worldclass bassists....the multiple-guitarist jams, and after-hours get-togethers, were fabulous, and it was free! And Tab Benoit himself, my oh my....he's like a two-legged Anti-Pedal ! A battered Tele Thinline and two Category 5 amps. No pedals or effects, unless you count the snarling alligator head on his amp where he keeps a slide, spare earplugs, and some rarely used picks (plays mostly with his fingers like Jeff Beck does, the picks often get thrown to the audience).

The typical Leslie 122s toted by most rock bands of what I like to call 'the era', were actually less than 120lbs, but bulky enough you'd need a box truck or a trailer to move the whole rig, and The Hammond, at 400+ lbs, depending on options, was a two-man carry, with the not-in-the-least-bit optional cradle, and particularly not where the load-in included flights of stairs, with a landing between. My spine throbs at the very thought, but we hauled those magnificent bastards, and Altec-Lansing Voice Of The Theater speakers and the custom folded-horn subs with the Crown boat-anchor power amps, because that's what the Allman Brothers did, before the Grateful Dead followed suit; thus began a stampede, of sorts. Difference was, the Allmans and the Dead had roadies.

@ThomasBorghus 4 жыл бұрын

I stand corrected: "Jones used a Hohner Electra-Piano. An EMS VCS3 was utilised to create the underwater 'wobble' effect on 'No Quarter'. Jones ran the audio signal of the Hohner piano through the filter, and modulated the filter with a sine-wave LFO. This made the filter rise and fall rapidly, creating a shifting tone not unlike a phaser, or Leslie speaker."

My brain is broken and I got nothin for mid 80s. but a couple 81 records come to mind that don't get enough attention from guitar players and musicians in my opinion. Everyone loves Marquee Moon, but nobody seems to listen to Dreamtime by Tom Verlaine. Tin Drum by Japan is another album that I not enough people know about. Incredible rhythm section. As exotic as an Eno pop album. Also: Speaking of anti-pedals. I sometimes use old reel to reels as distortion "pedals" Sound crazy good and are approximately as portable as a Leslie. Thanks for the videos.

The Sun Always Shines On TV is great indeed, definitely one of the biggest 80s classics for me. :) Hunting High and Low itself is also a great song by the way. If you like the real 80s sound definitely check out these albums by Talk Talk: The Colour of Spring (1986) and It's My Life (1984). The other 80s albums by them are also cool, but these are the best. One of the most original and best bands of the 80s if you ask me.

My anti-pedal of choice is the original Tom Scholz ROCKMAN. I really wish someone would make a pedal version of it for me. It's an integral sound of almost all music made in the 80's, and being born in '83, I just can't live without that sound in my tonal color palette.

So. Since I'm older than you, Josh, I can tell you something about that a-ha album that you might not know. The title track Hunting High and Low was released with a music video on Mtv that was so over the top, even for the 80s, that the complaints made Mtv remove it from their rotation. I personally never knew what all the fuss was about. So it features a man who turns into an eagle, then a man again, who turns into a shark, then a man, who then turns into a lion that breakdances. Pretty standard 80s stuff. Honestly, Living a Boy's Adventure Tale and Here I Stand and Face the Rain are both great songs from that album. Cheers.

Great comments below by some great music lovers. Going back & watching other videos tomorrow,. Nice work.

Best 80's album that gets overlooked due to a 'one hit wonder'.....Thomas Dolby's Golden Age of Wireless. The hit was 'She Blinded Me with Science' which I hated, but the rest of the album is so good, I would dare label one of the best kept secrets of the 80's.

My mid-80s album pick is "The Crossing" by Big Country. Everyone knows the song "In A Big Country" but the rest of the record is great too. Very 80s production and guitar sounds but in a good way.

@johnnysimes5082 4 жыл бұрын

The guitarist for Til Tuesday was Robert Holmes, from Boston. He was a fabulous blues player who formed his own band, Ultra Blue, which played great rock, nothing like Til Tiesday. He played through a Leslie and sounded great. So Josh clearly understands the cosmic connections between all these 80's bands and anti-pedals.
