Huh????🤔

⁉️❓❔❕❕

Um..... that's not Robert Plant

😂😂😂😂

I SWEAR IT WAS JUST ME THAT THOUGHT THAT

Yeah, I noticed that too! Everything on max, got it!

You mean crank..crack is what musicians in the 80s mostly did

@@melonah I have heard was a N.Y. huge trend, the rest of the world was saving for more safe ... fun

But , his British sounds is appreciated by few ...

Sonorational Yep. He has never used distortion pedals, that comes from his amplifiers at full volume.

Lol you need some in ear monitors

@@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61In ears suck.And one AC30 is not loud.3 100 watt Marshall heads with 6 cabs is loud..he.

@@peteyoung7665 I've never used in ears to old school. I'm thinking Brian uses stack after stack after stack of Vox Amps on stage

Now he needs to cover lambert's voice on stage

@@brugges 😂👍

@@brugges lol I loathe Lambert, he's tuned Queen into its own tribute band.

And don't forget the man power.

I would definitely buy an old 60s/70s style brian may vox thatd be awesome

Actually there's an official vox AC30BM just like his modified amps. Also with built in treble booster and a switch for 15w.

yeah, its a good thing the American girlie power saved england in WWi and WWII..... your're welcome btw

@@tomdick693 yawn yawn!

It’s called humour! Irony, sarcasm! He’s not serious!

You missed where he said it runs through a wet-dry-wet stereo rack for effects too :P

I don't believe he uses the replicas live. It's always the original RS. But I do believe he has a replica or two as backup if needed.

Its very cool that the guitar he has played his whole career is a guitar made from a table among other things that he and his father made because he couldnt afford a good guitar.

@@the_minimalistic_adventure he uses replicas live. He loves he prefers his old Lady, but for some songs he takes replicas kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLCPgsSevZO0cWw.html

I believe at Wembley 86 he had a fourth one solely for chorus effect. I might be wrong but he did have more active amps on stage back then.

@@roverwaters3875 the Video where May demonstrates the delay and how he uses it is just amazing.

@@chrissmith7669 Do you have a link?

@@ImpostorModanica ; In this Video he demonstrates the single then dual delays and how he uses them. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftloaqqm1LXaiaM.html

There's no "toning down", there's still plenty of tone there!

@@DandamanV wooosh

......to 9......

I count 11.

@@dieterdeclercq you're the one who's missing the joke here

And according to his own comments.....only the specially doctored pair were ever switched on....!!!!!!

All 16 were never ever used at the same time..... Just like now all 9 are never ever used at the same time

AC30’s are louder than hell; can’t imagine that mountain 😉

It's not loud.It's only 30 watts and two speakers.A 100 watt Marshall full stack is loud=8 speakers.

I think he's talking about North American 120v power as opposed to European 220volts.

@@ezekielbrockmann114 And 50 vs 60 hz.

not quite. only 6 working.

What's a "guitar composer"?

@@sillysausage4549 Someone that composes guitars.

Your welcome, thank you

I would kill to have a Super Beatle. Those things are awesome. I love my AC30 and AC10 though. Super Beatles are worth a FORTUNE now! Apparently Jimmy Page was using one on Whole Lotta Love.

@@SimpleManGuitars1973 thank you for the love and support

No one sounds like Brian May. Wouldn't even matter if you had his rig cloned to the smallest of specs, no one will ever sound like any other guitarist, it's all in the fingers my friend

I remember that........30 of them! Looked fantastic.

@J Nelson Though Brian is said to be an anti-smoker I can't help but wonder how much of that is just media hype because his guitar technician smokes....and of course Freddy also did.

Met him once, told him I loved him

He could get even more British power if he plugged in more than 3 of those 10 AC's. He is boasting about the power, but we see it is actually just a fake show of power. Typical Brit. Fake and boasting about it.

Famous last words. ⚡️ I believe if you earth yourself with 220 V AC, you just vaporize? 💨

@@thehound2161 Who hurt you?

He seems like such a nice cool guy!

So true and accurate.

I hear that all the time, but I know people who have toured with original 64 and 65 AC30/6 amps. They didn't have that kind of failure with theirs. I think it's overhyped. I'd be more concerned trying to gig with a modern Chinese amp.

@@powertothebauer296 the custom classic amps were shit. The current custom amps seem to be better, but my UK 🇬🇧 Vox hasn't given me trouble really either.

These are not standard vox ac30s they are point to point wired. These ones were built by Greg fryer.

Not all 16 amps were ever used at the same time, just like now not all 9 are used, only 3

Not at that volume! lol

Proven old school Nuclear Blast Handlers

I understand the decision for the 421. The more common choice of the 57 would have less bass content, and Brian's tone is pretty cutting as is. I imagine the 421 sounds great on his tone.

Yep... HUGE part of Brians tone is the serrated 6 pense. Gives a natural edge to his picked notes that a plastic plectrum cant. That combined with the treble boost.... like 30 db of clean signal gain iirc. I use old brass chuck-e-chese game tokens as picks for this reason. Theyre not serrated, but still sound edgier than plastic.

@@MuvoTX you should consider getting a stone pick. I bought one and haven’t looked back. You get the extra edge and everything

Deleted trem and reverb circuit maybe?

@@Meddled The amp didn't have reverb. I'm more interested if there are any component value changes.

@@middle_pickup turned into normal channel only ac30s.

I'm pretty sure Pete is well paid, don't you think? 🙄

Right, they say them things run bloody HOT!

after a concert you could nearly cook on my friends AC15. And brian has like 18 of those

@@jammer70s Lol, I have the chassis out of mine as I'm tube rolling and playing next to it, you can feel the heat coming from it to the point that any radiator in the room is made obsolete.

J Dug jr. ...Jeff Beck pops his head ‘round the door.... 🤣🤣

...and I had to beat them to death with their own shoes 😂

Classic! Was think the same while he spoke! 😆 what a cool job that must be. I’d love to be an assistant, just for the experience and to be around all that gear!

It rained all morning and then it cleared up in the afternoon. ... And that’s it. I almost remembered somfing else, but it’s gone. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you.

@@powertothebauer296 yeah. I'm a sound engineer and a guitar and drum tech. I attended the Atlanta Institute of Music. I've actually studied and had access to the pre mix tracking and masters of all of Queens albums. They were kept in a vault that had everything from Patsy Cline to Slayer. I was able to retire Dec 2019 at 41 years old. My generation perfected computer recording. (It sucked at first, now it's awesome) My generation is also recognized as part of the last generation of producers and engineers that knows how to work with analog tape and did so out of necessity. From 2" reel to 4 track cassette or reel to DAT and ADAT. Tone definitely matters in the studio or small venue or concert hall. But True tone can't be determined in a stadium or colosseum. It's impossible. Especially since what the audience is hearing is coming from the House P.A. and not his amps. House P.A. is digitized and timed for latency. This ensures that the front row and the nose bleed sections aren't hearing two different things. I doubt Brian is playing at the local pubs these days. So I might know just a little bit. Just maybe.

@@noname-jr1vo Yes clearly , it comes from the house , but I hears the amp who are connected to the desk and this dynamic range I her comes from the cranked up amps and not from a digital simulator , and despair how good a simulator is he will never sound as good as an real valve amp. And one thing is for sure Analog beats every digital setup, digital is it easier to process afterwards. But the most important thing is , if you played and hear your gear for more than 40 or 50 years know instantly something is wrong , when you change one part of your gear.

Which era AC30? I play humbuckers through my late 70s model and it sounds great!

Orange micro dark

Line 6 spy-derrr

i'd say it's Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant lol

Been running my 64' AC-30 at 240 volts on the selector here in the US with a Rockstone RT 1000W step-up transformer for many years, absolutely smooth operation, runs cooler, I couldn't tell you why, but it works better.

230/240 volts is what the rest of the world uses, but the US had to be out of step like they are with so many things. The power supply he is using delivers a very consistant power level that is optimal for the amps and removes the variables in local power delivery around the world. There's a rig rundown on Angus Young from AC/DC where they use the same Kikusui power supply and they go into a bit more detail. They had theirs set at 236 volts from memory, which the tech said was right for the Marshall amps they were using.

Thanks for reply guys..preciate!!
