Frank Marino demos the "Torpedo VB-101 Emulator"

[@robertoautore9252]

The greatest guitar player in history, Legend Frank Marino

[@fredandpattychandler4130]

I've been listening to Frank Marino, since 1976. His simple approach to Prog music. Helped make his styles, of guitar playing, highly accessible to me. His vocalizations, and seamless guitar work. Intrigued me as a teenager, growing up in Vermont. Frank just up the road in Montreal, Canada. We're about the same age. So I identified with him personally, as well. His songwriting, is my favorite part of his great overall talent. A beautiful catalog of music to boot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. For the decades of honest to goodness, Rock and Roll. You are in my personal Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hope your arm is feeling better, my friend. Peace.

Frank, The Torpedo’s cool. But that blues recording that you played absolutely kicks ass! You still got it, you’ll never lose it, and I have to say, It’s even better than ever. Please, come to Los Angeles to play your music. I hope that you see this comment. Longtime fan, Arnold Martinez.

[@sandrosbackyard343]

A true artist, a great guitarist, awesome musician down to Earth and is doing it his way with no bullshit...Love u Frank

[@gerardj.9747]

Frank, thank you for all the years of great music. My fondest memories are the 70's growing up in Detroit listening to you play. Great video's please keep them coming.

[@chrisfleury7883]

Frank, from one Canuck to another.... thank you for everything you have ever done, thank you for putting faith before futherance and thank you for setting an excellent example for guitarists to strive toward, both musically and morally.

[@johnkeel2636]

how interesting , its so great to watch frank at the studio.

[@AntiTrustNJ]

Hey Frank thank you for all the years of great music! Dude keep it coming !!!! You're the best!

[@guitarzilla]

Frank is the man.

[@mstathakis]

I was a Marine from 1976 to 1980. I first heard Frank's live album cover of Johnny B Good, went and saw him at Cal Jam 2. I picked up the guitar and "learned" by trying to copy him. Lord bless you Frank, make a dream come true, I'd love to sit with you and have a meal and get some insights

[@countrysamurai]

Incredible...truly a stellar musician without compare. Damn...Frank is so very good.

[@MrLuigiFercotti]

What's so cool about Frank is that he didn't burnout like so many of his era. He's probably mellowed out a bit, like we all have, but he's still the same dude. Also, Frank's a really smart guy, not just low brow who bashes a guitar. Keep on rocking FM.

[@TheRmoroni]

always dreamed of sitting down with frank! this is great keep making the videos!

[@tonyrestaino1967]

A true monster. His Music truly transcends the notes he plays.

[@michaelfishman5768]

Love Frank Marino Awesome dude.

[@BlackCat-hu2bb]

A true master passes on his knowledge.thanks frank

[@rsd338]

Well said...Great guitarist and not a phony. Good down to earth dude. Frank keep going strong...have enjoyed your playing and great original music.Have learned allot from your tunes and style. Sounds great and looking forward to much more music to come.

[@sperrot3726]

Frank is ever learning student and master of the guitar. His live stuff is over the top.

[@Slicklickz]

Hi Frank,thank you for posting this video.I have also been testing speaker cab VST plugins recently and have been impressed with Torpedo.However,if you haven't tried Nebula I would recommend you give it a try.Unlike Torpedo or Recabinet(also quite good) it doesn't use Impulse Responces(which are static) it uses VVKT ,Vectorial Volterra Kernel TechnologyThis allows it to create non-linear aspects of the output tube-speaker interaction like impedance curves,harmonics,and saturation.This makes it more dynamically responsive to pick attack,pinch/natural harmonics,palm muting,etc.As for IR loaders,Guitar Rig 5 now uses Redwirez IRs and Peavy Revalver and Overloud TH2 both allow you to load external IRs as well.

[@dreamdiction]

Around 1978 I saw Frank on TV playing with the Welsh band Budgie but I can't find the video anywhere on KZbin?

[@Dimigrey]

wow even his demos sound great

[@mikethehitmanpowell]

thank you frank your one of my heros

[@brianm.3611]

I'll be keeping an eye out for the DVD (Blu-Ray I hope) release. Definitely got to get myself a copy. Thanks for the music.

[@picajoool]

Realy impressive and original blues playing. Does he has any more blues stuff like this?

[@janispetku4450]

The best. Thanks for demo Frank.

[@mikenaykki2173]

Keep rocking Frank.👍👍😎🎸

[@tonyrestaino1967]

Don't make em' like this anymore. 42 years later and those familiar goosebumps are back.

[@ronnie5129]

Frank, WOW , That is Awesome, thanks for the video, Cousin Figel

[@michaelcraig9449]

FRANK!! When are you going on tour again?

[@roman14032]

i love the part where he says "i've tried...........well, alot, not everyone of them thats come out" the guy cant just say "i tried them all' like anybody eles would say. the guy cant bring himself to tell the whitest lie. and people wonder how such a supreamly talented guy could not make it big in the music idustry, he NEVER HAD THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF MAKING IT BIG, no one this honest does. but then again, no one less than this honest has a chance of being this kind of artist

[@caryboudas5359]

Hey Frank, Love your music Come to Chicago in 2019!!

[@debiaustinLLC]

liking the torpedo better

[@ALtheDoctorWho]

I put on a pair of Reference head phones when I check this out Sound Outrageous. I Love the Idea that you can dial in other cabinets too. Enjoyed the Demo Frank Rock on Buddy c];-D

[@Russtoldmeso24]

Thank you Frank!

[@stevenpierce8331]

I cant wait for this DVD to come out. Does anyone have an update ?

[@Mike-rp8ev]

Both sound great to me 🎸🎛

[@guitarhack210]

One of the Best !

[@benjaminsnoize]

Frank PLEASE give us a rig rundown from Mahogany rush live album...plzzzz

[@rokyericksonroks]

He's right, this one of the better emulators available.

[@Chriselectricfingers]

itis amazing how theres no difference in tone nd yet most everyone that plays guitar nd knws what tone is ,, is allways gonna love that tube sound EL34 sound ,, but this unit you are showing here , really nails that tone , is just surprising to the ear. love you dude , keep up with ur music Frank,, dont get discouraged , bc theres a lot of crap out there nd we all knw what good music is , am sure you do too..lol. take care nd do that please make another album , show them how is done. am an old scholl kat nd knw all about it .

[@kostaspapakyritsis2023]

thanks Frank !!

[@michaelcraig9449]

Frank, what all pedals do you use? Are you going to tour any time soon, what about in St. Louis? I only got to see you once in St. Louis. The other bands were a joke, (dont want to hurt any feelings, no names) but the only reason I went was to see FRANK!!

[@00Mickx]

Hmm . . it does sound great! I'm amazed at the simulation amps and effects anymore. I use a digitech and love it. At one time . . nothing but a tube amp would do and even at that very hard to get my sound.

[@AmesburyGuy]

Hi Frank ,can you do a run down of effects you used on the live 79 all along the watchtower video or any hints I'm using the axe fx 2 amp modeler I have the univibe on but it seems more is going on. If its not asking to much can you crank your old amp tone so I can tone match it?

[@AlanBGoode]

"Frankie!!"

[@normjones6916]

right on I just rediscovered you :)

[@michaelgentry3360]

Frank's f ing cool.

[@karenespsharp4515]

Awesome

[@MrTRobb-bq3hv]

If anyone is going to tell you a product is on the up and up its gonna be the king bee himself..pretty reliable source..

[@lingonberriesofwrath1836]

How the hell is this even possible? This means the impulses used are from a sound exactly the same as the "real" one. Mic position, knob settings, distortion, everything is literally exactly the same, down to the millimeter to produce two sounds that are virtually impossible to distinguish. The impulses must have been recorded minutes before this video was made.

[@stephenjimmilee6452]

Hey Frank you don't need effects one of your best solos was on Buddy which you made when you were 17 and there were no effects then, just a Big Muff fuzz box I think!

[@Zyworski]

This gave me a crazy idea, take the output of an accelerometer on a live speaker to drive the dynamic load simulation. I told you it was a pretty crazy idea.

[@stazym69]

Frank's music is like sex for your ears and soul.....

[@AE-hx7wy]

Hi Frank, What do you think about the kemper profiling amp?

[@DavidLarew]

Hi Frank, were you on the road with Flipper and Gwar in 89 / 90?

[@maniogichidaa9278]

I can't tell the difference. Cool unit.

[@mikethehitmanpowell]

what guitars are you playing boss

[@bingefeller]

Is Frank's D string unwound?

[@rareform6747]

Very close , what about sustain ?

[@MachineHeadDissent]

🤘🤙😎😎😎

[@michaelcraig9449]

Eddie who? Ted who? Frank, Rory, Jimi, Yngwie....Yeah...

[@rolybarone]

Terrible emulador ... Perfecto 👌

[@GIDDAROS]

Marshall has more "air"

[@jeffthompson6451]

Maureenlovus

[@zxexrxox]

not much difference. that's crazy

[@guitmeister]

Marshall had just a tad fatter bottom, Torpedo - clearer mid.
