@@josephcurley8226 Funny you commented on this video, Joseph. I was thinking about this as well a couple of days ago. This is Fil, I still work with AC/DC. Angus and Mal have been amongst the best guitarists of the planet and yet, their attitude has always been the old school, modest, understated one - ever. Still my heroes. After many years some values shine ever brighter.

@SoloDallas I still love them after all these years, they always seemed embarrassed by compliments or made light of it. When I just started playing in the 80s I just used to stare at posters of Mal and Angus on my wall and think 'how could I be like them'.

Yep

What song?

Thanks brother!!!

Mach - is this you? You from the place we know about?

And cool smile

And cool playing

Andrew - We do. Come to SoloDallas.com (shop, amplifier). It's a JTM50. George made one with tube rectifier but Angus used it with solid state rectifier - which is what we replicated.

@SoloDallas thank you for the reply Fill!

Thanks! We’re using our Filtertron (Solodallas.com) pickup replica. Many Gretsch pickups today are overwound and too powerful. Originals were weaker - you MUST be clean/crunchy at most. A Marshall Superbass is also necessary. As an alternative, a JTM50 (50W) can be used. Next, a good microphone placed appropriately on the speaker cabinet (we use SoloDallas Impulse Responses for this) - which is not easy or intuitive - and lastly, playing it right. Malcolm Young’s style and tone might appear easy but it’s the exact opposite. A cleaner tone, huge strings and a PERFECT sense of timing are really a must to get the proper outcome. Hope it helped, thank you - Fil

SAME controls!

Darren - we love you guys. This is Fil. Always loved Australia - for decades. Big big manly hugs to you mates. Love, Fil and the team

Appreciate you. No AI in our productions - this one specifically of several years ago. What we do instead is this: SEVERAL takes at once of audio/video. A session takes hours of footage. Audio has its corresponding video, but selecting the matching section is sometimes impossible due to the amount of audio/video taken and if a VIDEO section looks good or close enough we’ll go with it. Singer Michael Vincent appreciates your words - PLEASE stay tuned for MANY more productions in 2025!

AC/DC is LIFE.

Theresa, thanks! I COMPLETELY FUCKED UP Mal’s tone (I PLAYED IT well but the sound is off here. REASON: I did NOT have a Superbass when I recorded this. Had sold them all. Now I bought a couple of them back).

… as for the speaker/mike type: I remember using the baffled positions. I won’t be specific here and now, but you need to know that I have precise information about the techniques that AC/DC used in the studio repeatedly and repetitively for decades. They almost always went for baffled and angled microphone placements; the reason is that by angling the microphone in a specific way onto the cabinets and at certain distances, you equalize the guitar sound from the source without having to touch equalization in post production. This is the single, richest and most sophisticated technique that a sound engineer can dream to have learned. By providing our impulse responses with those very placements, you have now incredible power at your fingertips. I have barely announced this as a marketing effort, but in the next eight months we plan on running campaigns to let people understand the importance of our impulse responses and the careful microphone placement that we have studied and that no other company has made yet. So to repeat: carefully audition by playing your guitar through the amp all of those microphone placements where you hear off axis, at distance and BAFFLED positions; mix two of those together at different levels and craft your own dream studio tones!

@@SoloDallas Thanks yes that’s a good idea I have no clue what I’m doing with the impulse responses. I also think you have to have experience with micing up cabs And I never did that so. But i really want to learn this I really love this tone it just gives me goosebumps ever time I hear it!

We didn’t hear - BUT there are covers, then tributes. What I have been trying to do goes beyond one and the other.

Grateful for your comment - Happy New Year!

Sounds incredible 🤘!!

@@Twobarpsi Sure does !

@TheAviationBoy16 love the SRV style of his playing 🤘😎🤘

@@Twobarpsi Yes ! And the tone with that kind of slap / bite in it, that's what I love in strats !

@TheAviationBoy16 definitely! You can't get that with a Les Paul or SG.
