Thank you for showing this. I think nobody else on youtube has done this. It sounds great I think. About you're playing I think you do fine and the only thing you could practise is to not do the chug chug metal style palm muting. If you listen closely, Blackmore never does that. He mutes the strings when needed but seem to have a light touch to it so it doesn't become the typical chugy palm muting that generations of stereotypical metal guitarists seem to do.

@@ScienceofLoud what's the flight times through old solid state stuff? I was gonna say it probably had delay from the circuit itself, but not having any idea of old gear guts I held it - but now it presents itself. *goes to look up what's inside the tape machine* I would never have thought to use whatever was laying around but I have used whatever's laying around when it does something I like. The problem is getting it to do it again when the first thing invariably, eventually breaks. I had a tape deck once that would let you overdub because of a head misalignment, turn it over and you're dubbing the other side. Sometimes old electronics would run backwards on startup, had an old turntable that would do that. I literally had a recording (there was a tape deck on it) of the "satanic backmasking" Led Zepplin drama at the time it happened because I could hold it and manually start it going in reverse - made many copies of that tape lol people were freaking out.

Since what Ritchie was doing was before the age of tube screamers and such, this is quite an ingenious method for the time. It thickens things up and gives more punch from the single coils. Nice demo!

@ErikVOfficial 10 ай бұрын

Blackmore has used a second reverse wound coil, either stacked, or as a dummy coil in the middle position, to basically have a humbucker in his strats, to help reduce noise. The resistance was almost like an actual humbucker, so that is more likely the source of the "thicker" signal, and the tape machine preamp was jut helping get a bit more gain from those amps.

Back in 1982, I had read that Blackmore used a tape recorder. Being that I was only 16 and didn't know anything, I didn't realize he was putting it in front of an amp. My dad got me a broken tube reel-to-reel with a built-in power amp. That tape rotors didn't work but the preamp and power amp did. I was able to get a pretty good distortion sound with it, so I used that with an old hi-fi speaker box from the 1950s as an amp until 1984 when my dad got me a Peavey Bandit 65 as an early birthday present for New Year's Day. This video sure brought back memories.

Ritchie Blackmore did have one of the most amazing guitar sounds of the 70's. I read that he would use a mixing board into his amp to push the gain. I've tried it, and it sounds crazy. I don't doubt that may have been his secret for such high gain and deep tone. But he did always have that tape machine running, for echo/delay. I've never tried that so I can't say for sure. All I know is that inspired the SHIT out of me. One of my top favorites of all time.

I'd only read in guitar mags what it was for, but never understood how it worked as a preamp at the time. As it was always rolling throughout the shows, I thought it was some tape echo type thing, as well. Great sound! I have the OR15 and it absolutely kills.

This kind of solution to boost an amp would have been no real challenge for him.

Wow cool video, I’ve seen the pictures with the tape machine but never put 2 and 2 together. I use a Klon clone into a Marshall with a strat to kinda do the same thing and it seems to work.
