Try clean and slower so we can actually hear them.

Hi. Is the Sabra Cadabra pedal noisy? Would I need a noise gate pedal too?

Como não amar, admirar e respeitar Rory Gallagher! Único......meu eterno vício!

Back in the early 1980s fortunate to meet Rory, and I hung out with him and his brother for a time after a gig and you know what? I got the feeling at the time, and I know for certain now he didn't care if the establishment recognised him, for sure he could have jumped into commercialism, had a chain of number-one single hits and become a teen pin-up boy, despite his musical talent he was a very good looking man too, but he did not want to exist like that. In fact, he was so much against the industry he stood alone. The Last of The Independents was so respected for his stance that he sold, from graft and off his own back, with very little recorded music radio play, from live concerts mostly, a staggering 30 million albums. This, of course, could be four times the amount. No one knows how many albums were sold because there was no central location to collate the numbers. Anyone who saw Rory perform was blown away. I am no exception. As a person, he was unassuming and gentle and he was adored by his fans. Rory toured the globe for three decades, lived on the stage, took rock music to places other artists would not go, like over the Iron Curtain, and all his concerts were sold out. During this era in England and Europe, his concerts reached millions from Rockplast and performances on the TV show, The Old Grey Whistle Test, broadcast on TV and radio, live to millions of people at a time. Honestly, if you believe that Rory Gallagher was underrated and that he underachieved you were either living under a rock or not yet born. Rory deliberately refused to produce singles. And thus avoided being defined or overexposed on commercial radio. If you fail to grasp Rory's motivations you are missing the point. So, all the best musicians were the guys who refused to release singles. That was the album culture at the time. Rory was part of a group of musicians who were hugely successful without Selling Out, as a result, he and others like him held onto their music rights, thus gaining dignity. Therefore, Rory was a human first and thus a superstar!!!

Rated 57th ?? What a joke

Gallagher had actually received a liver transplant in “95 and died of an infection a few months after the surgery. I’m not sure your exposition captures the unique impact Gallagher had on his young fans who followed him at the time. He was truly a rare combination of talent, energy, showmanship, humility and coolness that captivated those who saw him. They knew they were witnessing something great.

I bought these pickups and I wanted to know in your demo what type of capacitor is in your guitar. I’m just interested in the capacitor value more than anything.

I have seen Rory many times in small clubs, Central Park where he opened up for Aerosmith making them look like the minor leaguers that they were.The first time I experienced hearing Rory was as an eleven year old watching Don Kirshner's Rock Concert t.v. show in the the early seventies and he and Roy Buchanan have been my guitbox heroes ever since.I never saw Rory put on a bad show, truly one of the greats, the world lost a good man too soon when he passed away.

Rated 57th by Rolling Stone magazine, what a joke,who cares what that rag says,ask his peers how awesome he was!

Sadly underexposed. Saw him several times- deserves much more recognition.

Great info loved this boy since i was a teen what a talent what a waste. Heartbreaker 😢

With the Contour set just So, the Jackhammer can sound exactly like a Suhr Riot. Dang ! I shoulda wrote down those settings ...

sounds chunky...rock on

i have both u just made things alot harder damnt it! 😆

The album Fire and Water opened me a new world and l discovered Paul Kossoff...from that moment my idea of playing lives under his influence and taste...my guitar hero 🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️

nice shredding too!!!

Killer axe. I have a late 90's SG deluxe with 3 firebird PU's and the Maestro gibson tremelo. Also a freaky odd ball. SUPER kOoL

Fake

Call me crazy but I think it looks way better than the batwing SGs

I played many a gig in the L.A. metal shred scene of the 80s using Super Distortions on many guitars through many amps. They always delivered the goods. For a typical gig I'd use a Peavey 50 watt with a fuzz pedal, delay and chorus and it always got the job done. I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel. I just liked using things that work, and they still do.

That second riff is scrumptious.

That’s one sweet guitar! Those pickups are perfect for it. Sounds so good. Great playing!

James Dean Bradfield used one with the 70s dual hb Tele thinline, to record Motorcycle Emptiness

Nice thanks

Please tune your guitar before making videos

I've got both the Sabbra Cadabra and the Laney TI Black country customs Range master and I use them together and get a great tone from them both. I don't get as good of a tone ( or as realistic to Toni's) with just the Sabbra as I do with both of them running. Is there any sort of way to get the range master to work on the Sabbra without using the TI also? It just seems not as strong? On the Sabbra. I'm a newer player and have a Marshall DSL100 I am running these and a delay with a 10 band EQ. Any suggestion's on how to get the tone right on? I'm also playing a Gibson SG standard and an Epiphone SG classic P-90.

Nice, but you forgot about the Live album, which had some killer playing.

Awesome demo thanks

Thanks for comparing the two! I'm curious, maybe I missed it, was the Jackhammer set in OD or DIST mode? I'm guessing since they sounded close that it was OD mode. THANKS!

I like turkey

Nice summary of his short life. It’s a shame so few people know of him and, if they do, it’s often because of ATN - there such better stuff out there. Thanks again

Very realistic demo. No overproduction or studio tricks. Just plug in and play. This is how most of us are gonna play so to hear these pickups in this way has helped me make up my mind on them going into my LP for sure. Thank you bid. Great channel so far. You got a sub and a like.

I grew up listening to Free and at the time we wondered how a group of 4 young teenage guys could be so mature in their composition and playing, little did we know we were listening to one of the all time great British blues bands.

Rip buddy you be missed like Jimmi

Kossoff's influence on subsequent guitar greats is enormous. You can hear the influence of his vibrato in Angus Young's nervous vibrato. Ace Frehley cites Kossoff as an influence. Kossoff got respect from a big name contemporary - Eric Clapton inquired of Kossoff concerning his vibrato in '68 or '69 while they were at the same gig. His playing is about more than vibrato - his use of space and economy of notes is unique for a time when guitarists were ramping up the speed of their playing.

Paul used orange amps as well bro

Really well done thanks man . A great tribute to a legend.

What’s the song in the intro

Nice job putting this together!

Thankyou much respect for our Koss❤🎸

Thanks for this demo! 👍🏼 I like the clarity and versatillity (blues, rock, metal) and the low end growl on distortion. I consider them for my B.C. Rich classic koa. The factory mounted mafia pups sound pretty similar but just lack a bit of bottom end for dark angry metal. Maybe because of standard 10’s on it (or my poor playing🤪)… will try heavy bottom strings first, and some pole screw adjustments…and new strings (mine: 5 y old🤓) edit: ohh, beeing a greenhorn in metal, my poor ears noticed later: you seem to have it drop tuned 😏… drop C?

this was super helpful! i’ve decided i’m going to go with the quarter pounder for my tele bridge ! thank you

I have one as well. Love it, definitely does not deserve all the hate. One note however, a big part of what makes this and most 70s Sgs different is the placement of the neck pickup. It's placed the same distance away from the bridge as an LP. Normal Sg have the neck pickup 3/4" closer to the bridge and that make a huge difference in tone. My first Gibson was this model. It was a bit beat up but I only paid $300 in 1996. Sold it for $600 a few years later. Recently just acquired another and paid a bit more this time lol. But it has a refret and plays like a brand new guitar. I hated those flat frets anyway!

Bald Headed Ginger! Sounds like a cool name. Thank you for your review. I’m currently about to custom build my second tele. I have been thinking about getting these pickups. 😎 keep rocking man!

New sub from England loved FRee 4 many years x Nice One Xxxxx

I got te quater pund tele set in my bullet tele. and sounds Amazing.

Most comment on his playing in Free but his solo album has extraordinary playing in "Tuesday Morning" and my favourite track of all the music I know, "Time Away", which is a shortened version of a jam with John Martyn titled "Time Spent Time Away". If he'd lived he'd have rivalled all the greats, as he was already there even with his lifestyle compromising him to his death.

dude i seriously admired your playing for 14 minutes and seven seconds what do you practice to do this ahaha

Yeah, you go check it *oat* Mr. Canadian Sir Fwiend Buddy Pal Guy, eh! :D

When I went to see Free play in Sunderland the large Mecca dance hall was packed. They were the band at that time - their music crossed over several styles. I'm not sure if Kossoff was under rated - it's more that he died young. We all knew who he was. Even today Free songs appeal to young bands and nearly every young person I've talked to (I mean normal people not guitar players) has heard of Alright Now even if they don't know which band played it.
