[@LeonTodd]

Huge thanks to Gurtej Singh for my new intro. Go follow his channel for some sick guitar playing kzbin.info/door/SwtyXw9uZc30y63q62F0PQ

[@glennmiller8021]

The "tone quest" guy! Perfect!

[@LeviGuitar]

He did a great job, the intro looks so fresh! Nice addition to your videos.

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

@Leon Todd Dude thanks so much man! This is beyond awesome. Had so much fun making it and I am glad every one likes it! Cheers buddy and thank you everyone!

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

@@glennmiller8021 Yes! Thank you so much!

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

@@LeviGuitar Thank you buddy! Leon's such a great guy, and I had loads of fun doing this!

[@oisinmcphillips2090]

Oh shit, Leon's got an intro now. Nice

[@tomquayleguitar]

Ha! Amazing tones. I LOVE this era of guitar tone. Amazing intro too mate.

[@LeonTodd]

I'd call these tones a guilty pleasure but I feel absolutely zero guilt about jamming on them!

[@glennmiller8021]

Intro is🔥! And yes lets do some some more cleans!

[@Jamie383]

Is this Love by Whitesnake practically falls out of the guitar with this. Outstanding, really Leon! Thank you

[@Marshall2603]

I totally hear Dan Huff / Giant in that!!! Awesome!!! Thank you!!!!!!

[@altemu]

Dan Huff is God!

[@MusicWithMarky]

As a player who came up in the 80s and has an Axe FX III, I fully approve of this message. =] Great stuff as always, Leon!

[@_itseskay]

oh man! that sounds so nostalgic, then it’s the ultimate 80s clean tone!

[@Lushoverthebridge]

Cab off = Landau, Lukather, Huff, Adams, Stevens....! ❤️ 80’ guitars tones! Thank you Leon! 🤘🏻

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Love that chorus at 1:45! So sweet :) Great tone!

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

I've done that trick with the cab disabled too haha... although I usually put a filter at the end and roll off the extreme highs as my 80's MIJ Strat is extremely bright. Great sound!

[@diversifiedent]

Leon T, the mighty AXE FX III slayer. Great video, content, and man your video editing is really up there now mate! Just listen to your censored solo video 5 years ago, wow! .

[@SlinkyT82]

Wow, cab off immediately took it there. 😂 This unit is so killer. You always give me Fractal GAS. Enjoy your weekend bro!

[@jackmeginniss6327]

This was very good. I didn’t use clean tones much in the 80s, but yeah there they are. They sound great! Thanks!

[@stevelow_rock]

This is the Gilbert clean!!!!!! Awesome!!!! Just take my heart when you go!!!!!

[@honey10music]

Great Leon. Can you achieve the same result with the Helix? Please show us how. Thank you

[@Timmsie95]

Really dig the new intro, man! Killer tones as usual.

[@froag4003]

Love the look of this new video setup!

[@oliverlambson]

Loving the intro!

[@verstamp]

That’s a great intro!

[@RobNY5150]

Cool video thanks! I also love the 80s chorus on the AXE3.

[@atquinn1975]

Another vid! Been having tons of fun with this the last half hour. And as always, you can apply the same concepts to any modeller out there if you don't have an AF3.

[@CodePoet]

Killer video intro!

[@AverageHuman7026]

Wow, that was a great video. I had fun watching, listening and learning. Thanks

[@LeonTodd]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@xleftsidex1627]

Dude, you nailed it! Thanks for the tips and tricks

[@gjtube37]

That was awesome! a great tone that brings me back to my youth!

[@markbuilder7395]

That's a GREAT fricken intro dude

[@spitfire5656]

Great Video, very knowledgeable on exactly what 80s clean tone should be. Managed to make this work on the Fm3 aswell.... Also What songs are you playing in this video? Sounds really nice

[@bandshooting]

Great Intro, Great Tone 👋🏻👍🏻 Cheers, Harry

[@jakobn1234]

this intro is sick! 🔥

[@NicolasDesmarestGuitars]

GREAT clean sounds Leon ! 👌🎸 Love it ! 😊👍

[@rmp5s]

Mind kinda blown after you deleted the cab block...really cool, man!!

[@firesole871]

You deserve a huge subscriber base man. Nice video, and well spoken narrative.

[@LeonTodd]

Much appreciated!

[@stevenmgyori3826]

" That's Pretty Sweet Brother!" Thanks for sharing, Be Well Leon!

[@raikoparts4840]

Hi Leon! Really like your videos about Axe III tones. Looking forward to get it myself.

[@LeonTodd]

Cheers mate, it's a great unit!

[@marksanders1962]

Great intro...!

[@chrisday5341]

Holy shit. That's great. Killer tones man

[@oldman0995]

Well done. I agree with the worship music comment used to play at church. Can you do some Boston sounds I have been trying to work out the guitars in Hitching a Ride. Thx my friend. Also luv that new intro!

[@DDischner]

Nice intro bro...! Fun settings too. I would ditch the 1x4 Pignose cab for something more manly... and then you're set! Ha! Great stuff again... cheers!

[@LeviBulger]

Leon, do you remember that Roxette tune "She's got the Look"? That's my all time favorite 80s clean tone. It's so good.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah big time, that gets played heaps here. great 80's tone!

[@maxsalasr]

Awesome!!!! I used to use chorus and pitch in the mid 90s. I still miss the pitch, wish I I could find a decent pitch affordable pedal

[@LeonTodd]

used Eventide Pitchfactor is probably the only thing I can think of, but even then they're still a few hundred bucks.

[@JoelDavidGonzalez]

Cool New intro Leon, great

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks to the awesome Gurtej Singh!

[@trbmp]

Love all ur vids Leon. Just sold my AFX2 for a .... AFX 3 ... based on your multiple great vids on AFX tones and tips. Congrats 👍👍

[@LeonTodd]

That's awesome. If you liked the II, you're going to love the III

[@bobjoe7508]

Wonderfully atrocious! As much as I love 80’s chorused out clean tone, it does kind of sound awful at the same time. As awesome as it is, i’m glad that tone stayed in the 80’s and early 90’s. Fantastic playing as always!

[@jessejensen9041]

Leon, what is that riff you start playing at 1:52? I’m dying to know!! It sounds so familiar and glorious!!

[@headstockharem4]

Classic Bryan Adams riff! LUSCIOUS!

[@Taustavoima]

Greeeat! Talking about DI tones, please do Muse style distortion video. They often use DI distortion sounds added to the basic guitar tone

[@LeonTodd]

Yes!

[@Taustavoima]

@@LeonTodd Perfect! Cool intro btw! I would also wish that you'd do a video about using the enhancer block and compressor block in depth. Specially for live use!

[@LaurenScheff]

Nice 👍

[@MrHardrocker98]

6:40 song? Ugh cant remember

[@willschut4917]

Yep, this is how we did things back then. Compressing the crap out of the signal, going straight into the board and adding as much stereo chorus and reverb as possible. I did like a kazillion studio-jobs in those days with basically one clean sound, one seize did indeed fitted all.......... Good days though....

[@LeonTodd]

I can imagine that was a super fun time to be making music!

[@tomaburque]

Crank up the stereo chorus and party like it's 1984!

[@headstockharem4]

Don't you mean 1999?? 😄

[@diversifiedent]

i wish it was 1984!

[@headstockharem4]

@@diversifiedent Ya, might be fun to go back there......

[@MusicOfDreamweaver]

Nice vid. The volume difference between your voice and the guitar almost took my head off. But very instructional as always. Liked the content alot.

[@Me37368]

4:40 that sound kinda has a rockman vibe

[@petruccirocks02]

Leon, what song or chords are those at the 6:34 mark? I love that!!

[@LeonTodd]

Little riff I've had kicking around for ages. there's a cars song that's very similar from memory.

[@FirestormAudio]

I love this tone so much!! What is that riff you keep finger picking?

[@LeonTodd]

Random guitar noodle I feel like I've known forever!

[@FirestormAudio]

@@LeonTodd Fair enough. You should make it a song. :-)

[@lpgoog]

Leon do u recommend any EQ settings on board [P.A. System] when gigging live? Most digital boards these days are super flexible when molding tones with many possibilities. I always seem to need some extra nudge at live gig when comparing to formulated presets at home with studio monitors but don’t want to overdo.

[@LeonTodd]

Depends on the room and the band - having the option to do it at the board is super handy though, whether it's cutting out excess high/low end or boosting some mids.

[@MrHardrocker98]

This even goes really well to Holdsworth territory.

[@JHSmithmusic]

Please do some line 6 Helix content!

[@MarkSDD]

"I ask you please just give us...DUNDUNDUN DUNDUNDUN chikka DUNDUNDUN DUNDUNDUN 5 minute tooooooooones.."

My tube amps are collecting dust since the Fractal III arrived.

Now imagine and a Roland D50 in the mix ...
