Guns N' Roses' Play Stadiums with WHAT??

With all the Magnatone amplifiers we now have on offer, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus dropped into the shop to give each amplifier a go with his signature Gretsch G6136T-RF Falcon! Although, Fortus favors the Magnatone Twilighter 22W 1x12” combo on just about any stage, the brand that pioneered stereo guitar amplification and true pitch-shifting vibrato in 1957 has also reintroduced the exclusive varistor pitch-shift vibrato concept n a smaller package with the Panoramic Stereo 12/12W 2x10” combo amplifier. Plus, check out the new flagship Super Fifty-Nine heads and extension cabs in limited edition gold, now available at CME. Or, if you’re looking to fill a medium-sized club, Magnatone’s powerful, yet, portable Super Fifteen valve amps boast the sparkle, chime, and gain of legendary EL-84 powered amps from across the pond-and now they’re available in CME Exclusive White Elephant and Black Elephant editions! Hear them here, then come try all the Magnatone amplifiers in-store now at CME!

THANKS FOR WATCHING!! SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CHICAGO MUSIC EXCHANGE!! NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK!!

[@realgoodmind]

Richard is an absolute legend. Love his playing and attack.

[@texrex4580]

Love Richard's playing and tone. His live guitar/amp tone is really superb.

[@michaelaiello9525]

Wish I could spend a season learning from someone like Fortus.

[@jos9816]

Richard is a SUPERB guitar player. He is just SO GOOD. Love to hear him playing every single time❤

[@ToddTheJoker]

Fortus is such a cool guy and great guitar player, a real hero of mine! thanks for this!

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thanks for watching!! 🤘🤘

[@amyn227]

Never tired of this guy he's just great! Wish more sessions of him with any big music store companies just would love to hear his passions, riffs, free style playing!

[@popcorny11]

Don’t even like anything GnR since I was a teen.. but always love seeing and hearing Richard Fortus share. Such a class act.

[@bobgracia3318]

totally agree Richard and Duff make the band great they are all about the music

[@jefflebowski1838]

Applying for the Stones guitar spot? Surprising jangly sounds from a hard rock guitarist. I like 👍🏼

[@John_MacLean]

Love Richard's playing!

[@williammichel5973]

Such a cool down to earth dude! Man that tone sounds so clean and crunchy!! I'm gonna check em out! 🤘

[@jasonnaranjo4622]

Richard es un maquina, el amp suena buenísimo, genial entrevista, gracias.

[@9unslin9er]

These are some incredible tones.

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

Magnatones rock indeed. I own 2 but won't stop until I own every model

[@vl292]

Fortus live tone is excellent. It helps to be phenomenal player, but not all phenomenal players have phenomenal tone. It compliments his playing. He stole the show on some of the jam thingies they did when I last saw them.

[@Smart-Alex]

Amazing player!

[@mariek6993]

chicago music exchange is awesome! never seen so much great stuff in one place ever...

[@jari04]

My favorite guitar player

[@ToddTheJoker]

I hear ya!

[@eddiesguitars]

Glad to see Rich back at CME!

[@marcop1587]

F***ing loved his Gretsch tone at the show last week

[@svenzia]

Awesome sounding amp and what can i say, Fortus knows how to play.

[@MrJermeyp]

Fortus is such a genuinely nice and humble dude too … it’s pretty cool to watch a CME video and say BOTH of these guys have taken time out of their day to reply to me at random on Instagram for no other reason than to just interact and instill some wisdom. Thanks for being so cool guys

[@Billywagner22]

What a tone!

[@jesseemullen]

What a cool guy and an amazing player. There's something to be said for a guitarist who essentially develops their own language on the instrument. Those rich voicings speak to me more than anything else in hard rock.

[@jasondarling]

Sooooo glad to hear that 70% of his sound in STADIUMS is from a 22 watt amp. I CANNOT stand when every reviewer and commentator say 15-25 watt amps are “good for practice or small gigs”….

[@AudaciousAce1989]

Right?? I have a 20 watt friedman head into a 2x12... it is LOUD

[@jari04]

If you can put a microphone in front of it you can do a show with it

[@joshfulmer3689]

I just brought one 3 Months ago from CME and I love it.

[@jungle85]

Is a master, great guitarist

[@bp7152]

Steve Perry playing that picker, Schon better watch out. Haha

[@dekalbes335]

The CME demo is why I bought a Magnatone STARLIGHT

[@gazb2069]

That m20 ❤

[@vinchenta3325]

Don’t stop…Believiiiing!!

[@rodeldicang4868]

😂😂😂

[@randallamps]

Surfer dude Sean Penn`s rock n roll twin brother.

[@snapfinger1]

Did a double take. Thought it was Steve Perry circa ‘83. Running a Gretsch into a magnatone like Billy Gibbons.

[@baliscotsurf]

people that have the vocabulary to define sound in words are amazing. I can't.

[@joaquin8637]

yeah canadian tuxedo!

[@Panic42000]

He said the same thing about Supro a couple of years ago. I guess if you pay him enough he’ll play anything.

[@jamesbruss84]

Makes me miss Izzy even more. No chickin pickin in “Rocket Queen” and “Move to the City”.

[@catlikemeew]

Seems like such a nice guy…

[@micktheman6]

Never heard of the guy and a Gretch into magnatone is the furthest from my tone but sounded good.

[@tuffitout2568]

Terrific video...

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Thank you!! 🤘🤘

[@DaveF8]

i watch him play like my nanna knit balaclava, very skills

[@sleepingatsea3420]

What overdrive pedal was he using with the Twilighter? Such an amazing amp!

[@enricopallazzoofficial]

i would like to know that as well. Richard is amazing as is his signature Falcon and the Magnatone Twilighter

[@maja73007]

❤

[@onewiththings]

Wait, that's not Steve Perry?

[@sooparticular]

it is!

[@peteyoung7665]

It's a stoned Steve Perry.

[@user-rg5vt3gf5o]

Would love a Magnatone, just too pricey!

[@jamescarpenter4777]

Slash also uses magnatone. Not sure if he even still uses marshall anymore

[@fuzzfizz]

this guy is from the future

[@BigTyronie]

His use of Marshall isnt changing. The magnatone hes getting a sugnature of is basically just a single channel marshall made by magnatone.

[@Badmansband]

If Keith Richards goes, Ronnie has a sparing partner.

[@edosatria6599]

The best guitar my favorite

[@danieltambasco528]

what happened to the Supro he was using?

[@andysixxlett2632]

That dude has been hanging with Slash

[@Maddy29]

Slash looks very different these days...

[@manofwillowdale]

Might be blasphemy but I think I prefer him over Slash. Don't get me wrong, I love Slash's style but there's just something next level what he does with those giant and beautiful Gretsch guitars.

[@captainkirk70]

I guess no more Supro after he's hawked them for years.

[@thetzel70]

Fortus is my new favorite guitar player! Saw him and Slash playing off each other during Knocking on Heaven's Door and Fortus was leagues above Slash and I really like Slash. Fortus and his hybrid picking skills just really sets him apart.

[@danveneziano565]

Great player and great tone, but when you're mic'd up through a pa you sound huge

[@kevinrichard1425]

Richard is great but guess what slash is the best guy in guitar world and he is incredible! btw, my name's Richard too

[@stmonroe]

Richard Fortus is low key better than Slash.

[@courace]

Nothing low key about it, plain as day to me.

[@stephenharrison7514]

He's technically a better guitarist but look at the riffs and solos Slash has written. It's about legacy not technical ability.

[@MetalMarauder]

@@stephenharrison7514 they said better, not more famous. 2 different things. as a guitarist he is leagues beyond slash

[@Dor_Cohen1]

No one is better than slash. Go back and listen to "appetite for distruction" and "use your illusion" back to front and come back to me

[@catlikemeew]

@@MetalMarauderagreed.

[@dylanmason4620]

This company is investing a lot of money to convince you that this thing sounds good. It doesn't.

[@djc5897]

That wig looks spectacular better then his playing

[@DaddyWarbucksunlimited]

He blows slish off the map

[@dane4453]

Sorry, but I hear nothing special about the Magnatone to merit its price. I can hear annoying fuzzy tones in its overdrive, too.

[@chookin1]

What a dreadfully messy tone.
