Backstage With Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest & Elegant Weapons | Studio Jubilee | Marshall

The legendary Richie Faulkner from Judas Priest & Elegant Weapons joins us backstage in the Marshall cabin at Hellfest 2023.
Richie releases the power of the 2525H, delivering mind-blowing riffs, and tells us what has drawn him to the Studio Jubilee series and what he looks for when choosing an amplifier.
For Richie, Marshall Amplification is more than just a brand, explaining that without Marshall, guitar playing wouldn't be where it is today.

Nice to see him fit and well 🙌🎸🎸

[@mitchellferre1652]

You totally ROCK Mr. Richie Faulkner ! 💥🤩

[@philcorymusic]

What a mighty fine player and an enormous sounding small amp. :)

[@Aircooled911]

Well I thought Richie is endorsed by ENGL, but I'm glad to see his playing on Marshalls

[@michaeljohnson8058]

At his house, he’s got a load of Marshalls & said he’s always liked them. I think the Engl thing was agreed on before he joined. ( btw, engl is good as well. He had 2 heads on tour & said they had never used the 2nd ( backup ) head. ) #FalconForever

[@marshallmel]

He’s currently using Wizards.

[@AndreiGrozea]

I think he uses Wizard live now, FIREPOWER was JVM410 + 5150 tho

[@benhockey3288]

He used a pair of wizards last month live and they sounded insane

[@caseyjones952]

Richie!! Fly Falcon Fly!! 🤘👽🎸

[@CrushingAxes]

Gibson Les Paul + Marshall, the best combo ever! Usually JCM800 for me, but Jubilee is pretty awesome too! Richie is a legend! A true guitar hero!

[@cliffords2315]

Jubilee is an 800 "Plus" more gain. it was called the Marshall Secret for years, you just dont see them and when you do, you love the sound.

[@truthfactreality6814]

The jubilee is basically an 800 but better. It was rare but now it’s available. I have the 100w and it’s glorious

[@10bunks12]

I have become a big fan of him. Awesome guitarist.

[@loupadsl]

Jully 23 i saw Elegant Weapon live , he played 2 Wizzard Amps

[@reithstrat30]

I was going to comment the same thing...two white half stack wizards

[@cliffords2315]

He was getting "His Sound" with the same overtones as his live videos, just a smaller version I already have Two Big Marshall amps, this would be great for home and studio.

[@jeffreybabino8161]

Thats a guitar player freakin great

[@epasternak4206]

I really love the 900 series, 1990 built MK3 and Dual reverb. I have both and love them dearly. Like he says, season to taste.😊

[@hoboroadie]

Silver is pretty darn neat.

[@craigeymac]

Hmmm but there are Wizard amps on stage?? I wonder if the JCMs are early 80s ones without am effects loop so the wizards are taking the delays etc. What say ye @marshallamps

[@craigeymac]

@6stringlord could be switching amps from the jcm 800 backstage to the wizards out front for solos etc with the delay through the wizards loop was my thought process.

[@craigeymac]

@6stringlord yeah I know the wizards have loops lol my first comment was about the JCM800s he has on this gig. 2 heads stage left. Both vintage and no effects loop which is what made me think in the first place lol

[@geraldoestaurdo9930]

Falcon

[@ilredeldeserto]

And Wizard Amp?

[@levivolaju883]

Richie Fucking Faulkner 😎

[@truthfactreality6814]

Get key to my cage on.

[@JohnMcRIS]

Stop lying you're Cristian Bale! Anyway, sweet sounding stuff!

[@mooferoo]

Lol, i can't unsee/unhear that now.

[@69spiros]

I think he plays for decades with ENGL.....what happened??

[@guitarexpert2245]

But he plays Engls in Priest. So go figure.

[@brandonmcvey9511]

Now he plays Wizard

[@truthfactreality6814]

First comment

[@RobSinner]

So no $7000 Gibson Flying V this time?

[@the.communist]

He only played the v cause judas priest. Before hes always played les pauls (n now with the new band)

[@johndoe207]

So was this without a pedal

[@steviesedge]

Sounds like it. The jubilee hasn't got that much gain

[@steviesedge]

Great amp but sounds boosted

[@theavgblueberry4489]

defintely is not boosted in this

[@emiroja]

But why are you so into Engl amplifiers with Judas Priest if you now praise Marshall? Why not play Marshalls with judas priest? Exactly ;)

[@guitarexpert2245]

It's probably not his decision. They were using Engl's before he joined. They have way more gain out of the box so Glen Tipton said.

[@the.communist]

@@guitarexpert2245 just use an overdrive pedal
