The first song I heard of Dio was I Speed at Night,,then got Holy Diver and The last in Line

I’ve been playing since 1977. Tried to learn Aerosmith and Ted Nugent. Then Eddie came out in 1978. I wish I could nail those solos like you. I still play almost every day. Attention deficit keeps me from unlocking those solos. I’ll watch your videos again and try to glean something off them. Great playing!!

I never really appreciated Vivian, this video changed all that, now he's one of my absolute favorite, you're renditions are amazing and show the genious of him, thank you very much Angus

Great to see you enjoying the soloing.

Nice informative video. Top stuff.

Wow, that is excellent, Angus!! David Gilmour meets Gary Moore.

Question: could you please tell me the exact dimensions of your board? I’d like to replicate what you have if that’s ok. Thank you!🎸

Thanks for the video and info. I just ordered the FM3 and was wondering how to go up and down presets. Well done! Great tones!

Michael is my favorite guitarist of all time. I have really been getting into Rock Bottom off of Phenomenon lately.

"Marshall JMP-1 MIDI preamp with a separate power amp..." I always wanted one of those along with the 9200 Dual Monobloc power amp. And right under them? A Mesa Traxis and a 90:90 power amp, all with a Dual Recto to round it out. And the 5150, naturally. :) Mid gain Marshall tones seem really difficult for software and solid state to emulate well. Once you get into Tube Screamered boosted JCM800/900 territory it seems easier to dial in. Those 50s-70s vintage mids and the musical way they break up can be really complex.

I'm also a huge fan of those 2 albums and Campbell's playing on them! I recently got up a vinyl player again after abandoned that format in the ninties. And I happen to have this albums since the eighties. One thing I react to when listen to vinyl compared to spotify for example, is that I sit and listen to the FULL album, not skipping any songs which is too easy when listening at digital medias. Of course all songs on these albums are great, but some are lower rated than the most known ones. But even in the songs some may skip, or not put in their playlist also have 10/10 solos! Viv absolutely gived 100% on ALL songs! I never liked Def L. so don't tell me he does great solos there too because I wont listen on that ear 😉

Where can i fond a triple switch like that?

I have the same exact model from ''99, been playing it for 15 years. I had no idea about the trick at 7:08, that you can add brightness and gain by turning up the volume on channel one when you're only plugged into channel 2 without a jumper! I tried it and it works- thanks Angus! I'm still learning stuff about this amp and I love it--

Sounds amazing dude!🤘😮‍💨🎸just curious is this setup running reverb>delay>amp? I’ve always ran it the other way around but this sounds so good!

Can you post a link to the version of "This is your life"?

Lonely is the word, I mean come on now

how did you order those pickups on JD guitars? i only saw options for the guitars themselves? no pickup order options, trying to order a set of the "monkey pickups for my epiphone monkey SG special thanks for your help man

Chicago Music exchange!!! Those guys rock hard on their customer service! Looooveeee buying strings from them!! You rock hard as well Angus! SO many great details, always an inspiration watching your videos!

Perfect dude!

thank you for explaining your board and actually demonstrating it using the foot switches in the context of performing a song

are the pickups suitable for the ashwood body? If it's suitable I want to buy it

Any chance you’ll bring the Old Boy on tour with TSO this year?

Thanks for this video, it was helpful. To detach de rubber caps do you just need to remove the screws at the sides?

How much did the pickups run you? I’ve been meaning to get some installed in an SG but Tony Iommi doesn’t have any “signature” pickups

What is making that Slow Gear type of pumping effect in the demo section? I don't see any block engaged for it. Is it maybe your video recorder audio overloading that's causing it? It's actually a really cool effect.

Those tones sound so good! Fantastic clarity from that guitar without any harshness from either the bottom or top end.

You rocking with that Adrian Smith Signature guitar! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

awesome

Great explnation and I picked up a few new ideas!

Best deep purple band cover

Well rocked, it sounds killer!!!

Badass man! First time hearing you guys and I dig it!🤘😀🎸

A kick ass class act!

"The guy who plays a Plexi" will never be irrelevant to me. Big fan of the tone here.

Vivian Campbell is THE GOAT!

That is a guitar. 6 strings, guitar tuning and fretboard. It emulates the sound of a sitar pretty well, but it's not.

Awesome

That manages to be thick but really tight at the same time. Very impressive.

That sounds killer! I'm looking at a small rig for quick gigs, and travel dep gigs. So, this has given me some ideas. Good to see a Boss CE5 getting some love :)

Sounds awesome! Thick but plenty of the sparkle on top.

It sounds great that in this pedal it's amazing that both cascades have the same knobs for settings and it's cool, apparently the gain stage is in the right place!!!

Awesome tone! Dead on with "Here I Go Again"!! Would love to catch a Rock of Ages show! If I had known about Wichita, I'd have drove up from OKC.

That should do it.

I like that tone.. ive been using a superbadass or a wampler tumnus germanium through my magnatone m80 or my mesa boogie badlander. Of course a halo a mxr reverb and a chorus.

God I feel bad, I saw the mob rules tour and the first concert Dio ever did at the San Jose concert barn, why do I feel bad? That means you’re around the same age as me and I’m not aging near as well as you, I lost my hair 😂 **edit: See you hopefully soon in Vegas with TSO in November

Thanks for that! Nice to see someone of your status confirms my workflow, more or less. I use a Boss FS6 (altough I hate the fact it needs a battery) and another little switch to activate a boost if needed. I tried a MIDI Captain for more options, but that pedal is too big. Will get me one of thos 3 buttons switches you talk about. My only gripe is that programming the FM3 via the unit is a nightmare, I always carry my Macbook with me. Are you comfortable just using the unit? Cheers! Pat

I love Vivian. He motivated me to pick up the guitar two years ago… I’m not good at all. I practice scales every day and to end my practice routine I’ll try to learn a part of a song. I hope to be able to cover some of his parts. A huge inspiration for me! I have his Epiphone model Holy Diver Les Paul! I absolutely love it!

Thanks for this informative video.Does the Mission SP1-L6 HELIX exp pedal work with this? I'm having trouble getting it to work.Will the Roland /Boss exp pedal work?

Saw him in Last in Line a year ago. He really ripped it. I met him and RJD at a radio station in Alaska in 1984. Both him and Dio were really nice guys.....
