Nailing the Gary Moore Still Got The Blues tone with GrandMeister Deluxe 40 | Kfir Ochaion

[@asadalmahrezi9695]

Gary Moore has a distinctive guitar tone that separated him from the rest of guitarists. It is so rich of feelings.

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Yes, we can agree with that for sure!

[@asadalmahrezi9695]

Is is the vibe. You can feel the electricity moving from the strings to your spine. No matter what guitar he plays, you will find that vibe present

[@joshmuz9018]

More than anything it's his vibrato which he used constantly and had many variations and hardly anyone ever nails it

[@CatPickStudios]

Man, this is a cool video. Kfir knows his stuff.

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Oh yeah, his ear is second to none. He hears things differently to rest of us, somehow ;) There's also a cool vide he did with Phil McKnight from SpiritCon where he dials in tones on the TriAmp and Black Spirit 200, where you learn a bit more about his thought process and how he builds tones. Definitely recommended viewing :) linkie to that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6HCd3SvrNaEptU

[@CatPickStudios]

Thanks for the reminder, I was planning to watch that video and forgot. Will do it now!

[@joebrooks3638]

Kfir is such a great player and knows tone and as a guitar geek, myself, I can respect his detail to tone while playing each different cover song etc. I like his videos and he tries to capture the vintage tone as well as phrasing and playing of what you would expect to hear from the actual artist

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Yeah, we can echo that 100%. He does all of that, and he has a special talent at hearing specific details about tones many guitar players might not! Sitting in the room as he dialed these tones in was a great experience, for sure :)

[@vandermaas76]

Greeny wasn’t used on Still got the blues. It was his other ‘59 Les Paul. Jtm45 and a Marshall Guv’nor. Kfir is an awesome player !! Definitely would love to see him live one day

[@nicholasguitars5527]

JTM45, 4 x 12 with EV12L's, stripe and a guv'nor……..oh and huge amount of talent and feel!!

[@saycanalla]

Thats correct.

[@JasperJames0912]

Stupid question. Are the EV12L's tubes or speakers?

[@nicholasguitars5527]

@@JasperJames0912 they are speakers. Electro Voice EVM12L would be today's version.

[@levgtz8158]

I know may be this isn't the way guitar players talk, but resonance, I suppose, increases the signal level around the cutoff point of a highpass or lowshelf filter (or any filter) and that's way it doesn't got muddy. I comment about this 'cos it's really useful at any given time, from tracking to mixing, to live. Yep this amps sound amazing, I heard them time ago.

[@janubis5630]

He didn't use Greeny on this song, he used his other 59 Les Paul called "stripe"

Excellent! I´m loving this amp more and more everyday. Just release a stereo version and I´m yours. Congratulations to Kfir! Cheers from Dominican Republic!

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Thanks a lot Frann! A stereo version would certainly be very cool ;) And we know Kfir would love that too... Rock on and cheers! Team H&K

[@awesomeguitarshorts]

kfir is a legend. 🙏🏼

[@HughesandKettneramps]

He certainly is!

[@russhird]

He didn’t use a tube screamer. He used a Marshall Govner overdrive. And no iPad.

[@santiagovanegas3812]

Very cool. Would be great to feature him more here given Kfir is so good at nailing tones on HK amps.

[@HughesandKettneramps]

We would love to, and hopefully will get the chance to shoot more with Kfir soon!

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

I can totally see how the Ultra channel works for the song because the original came out in 1990, which is feasible to say Gary was using the SLO at the time. The Ultra channel is a Dual Rec style sound, and we know where it’s sound came from…Soldano

[@BillHart_Family_Friends]

Wow, Kfir certainly nailed it! He has very good ears!

Nice video. Kfir has a very good feeling for the tone. Please do more videos like this with the H&K Grandmeister Amp. Could you give us a better view to the settings next time? Or maybe a link where to download them?

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! In the meantime our Purple Rain video with Kfir is also up, if you haven't seen that already :) It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np_daXSJe6d3pdE Yes, noted - next time we'll do more to help you guys get all the settings, and hopefully save presets we can share online!

[@ronhoffman7941]

He used a Marshall Guv'nr

[@farshidgozasht8520]

Awesome, could u please ask him for to teach how to make slash sound ?

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Yes, we'll ask him for a Slash tone next time we get to shoot a video with him for sure :)

[@peterludlow9847]

Brilliant job,I need one of these amps

[@Whiskeyontheguitar]

He didn't use the Grenny and didn't use the tube screamer (Marshall Gov`nor) ....

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Well maybe, and he certainly didn't use a Hughes & Kettner GrandMeister Deluxe 40 for an amp either ;) But the point of this video was Kfir showing us how we can get closer to those legendary sounds using different equipment! And we think he nailed the tone pretty much as well as could be considering the conditions. We hope you enjoyed and we able to take something away from the video anyway :)

[@gav25x]

I've ordered the black spirit 200 combo, i hope i can get it to sound close to this

[@HughesandKettneramps]

We're sure you will! If you need help with that when you've got the amp give us a shout and we'll help you out as best we can. But following Kfir's tips here is a great start for sure :) Team H&K

Gary Moore always managed to get his sound no matter what amp or guitar he was using.. Sometimes us guitarist's are searching for a sound that's actually in another guitarist's fingers.

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Yep, tone is in fingers, that's for sure! But if we can help a few people watching this video get a little bit closer to those hallowed tones, we'll be happy ;)

[@richardwilliams2853]

@@HughesandKettneramps a quality reply 👍 I've been a duel rectier or peavey triple xxx user for a long time but I am now looking for a little more tone and a little less aggression, could you recommend which of your amps would be worth checking out before the guy in the shop recommends I just buy the most expensive amp they have lol I know the guitar is important to I'm using a les Paul custom if that helps, I'll be checking out the amp in this video too. Thank you.

[@HughesandKettneramps]

Ha ha, we know how it is with guitar store salespeople ;) The best thing you can do is take your guitar with you when you go test amps. You want to be able to replicate your own rig and playing experience as best you can. From us, in terms of amps that can do everything from super clean to full-on high gain, the GrandMeister in this video and the Black Spirit 200 amps fit the bill. GrandMeister is tube, Black Spirit isn't, if that bothers you. (Try it even if you're skeptical though!) Those amps also have built-in FX (reverb, delay, modulation, boost), you can save up to 128 sounds, MIDI, a great DI in the Red Box, etc. So they're basically an all in one solution. If you're after something a little more simple, we have TubeMeister Deluxe (in 40 and 20 watt versions) and you can also find the older TubeMeister 36 and 18 editions. These are as simple as it gets - two or three kickass tube channels, from clean to pretty crunchy, and a top notch Red Box Di too. But that's about it. They won't get quite as dirty as the GrandMeister and Black Spirits do on their own, but stick a TubeScreamer or Klon in front and they can scream! We usually say these are the amps for the people who want something simple, or have a great pedal board and just want awesome base tones. Hope that helps a bit! Have a play around and see what works for you :) At the end of the day we could write 10,000 words about all this stuff, but you'll know in 30 seconds when you plug in if an amp is right for you. That's part of the beauty of it!

[@levgtz8158]

I disagree. Sounds to me like metaphyhsical. I prefer Vai's quote "tone is in your head". He meant, you know where to go, your north, and you get there despite how many ways exists or don't.

[@franquitot9937]

Could you get this sound if you use the Deluxe 20????? Instead of the 40??

[@HughesandKettneramps]

You could get close Franquito, but there would be things missing, and you'd have to approach it a different way! The TubeMeister Deluxe 20 doesn't have the Ultra channel like the GrandMeister does, and it doesn't have the FX like delay and reverb either! So you would need to add these with different FX units. To achieve this sound with just the amp and nothing else, you would need a GrandMeister. Hope that helps, Team H&K

[@powerfunk6588]

Gary didn't have much gain in his blues era. He did in his Corridors of power days, but not later.

[@marcocastellanos1529]

I think it was closer when it was at 40w

[@rebelsoul777]

Can you use two modulation effects i.e. flanger and chorus at the same time?

[@andrewtate8303]

Gary used his 59' known as stripe by some on that track

[@petergedd9330]

I can get that with Amplitube man!

[@bryanwilliams3665]

I'd really like to know the Pickup Specs of GM's 'Stripe' guitar used in SGTB.. That will take your tone to the next level.You just can't use 'Any ol PAF set' ...I have found out how critical this is after emulating Jimmy Pages Post 1972 tone which is achieved by an UNBALANCED pickup set and Impossible to achieve with conventional pickup arrangements (ie hotter bridge weaker neck will not work)

[@phenixreturns]

Santana has a particular sound too

[@ANWEsuigeneris]

Tubescreamer? Really. I doubt it.

[@cobratex7]

He didn't use a Tubescreamer on Still Got The Blues, it was a Marshall Guv'nor Mk 1 pedal. You can see it on the album cover.

[@ulfminstrel1772]
