Recording with my Blackstar HT 100 MkIII

[@Clayton-t5i]

One of the best shows I ever went to was seeing you with Edgar Winter in 2015 at The Bull Run in Shirley ,MA. I got to meet you downstairs and to be honest with you ,your solo in the show was the most killer ever, and I've seen Vai, Satch, Yngwie, all the big riock bands , Van Halen , Kiss, The Who, Bad Co., and many more , your solo that night literally made my eyes water.

Malcom was a genius rythem writer, holding those tension chords for 4 barrs is so good, it holds intrest, we can all learn from this to example. 😊 thanks Doug.

[@nitromeda]

Yes, always wanted to see how you record! Thanks Doug! (As a noob I feel confident now because my set-up is pretty similar) 🤘😍 You are such a good player!!!

[@SophicGuitar]

Thanks so much for this video. I love learning. I'm older now and way behind the software learning curve and they keep piling it on daily arg... It's awesome stuff just my tiny brain is not. Anyway, I cant thank you enough for all your videos, they are blistering hot I love your playing it's top notch hands down. Keep up the awesome work and I'll always follow what you do so maybe I can learn a thing or two before I kick it lol Thanks again!!

[@9ineToe]

Damnit, Rapps, we're all still waiting for the solo!

[@cobravinci]

[@arielista]

Awesome tones, left foot was off with the click but all good. LOL

[@estructure8220]

I love BlackStar amps..Very similar the Bogner ecstasy,not shiny like Marshall.Tks Doug !

[@Darkitectband]

Just watched Friday The 13th Part 6 for the gazillionth time and this track your laying down reminds me of Alice Cooper's Teenage Frankenstein from that movie's soundtrack haha. Awesome!!!!

[@joeglampfe]

Okay. I have my BRBS vintage class 3+ with an XLR out. So I can do this like you? Right?

[@michaellandrumguitar]

sounds awesome

[@brantnorthman9040]

Bashful, playful, sounds great! Is the amp on the market as of now? Thanks.

[@glenfarina3027]

Hey Doug. Was the amp connected to an actual cab or dummy load?

[@TrailerHitchRVCenter]

Doug! Where ya been dawg?

[@braxal6983]

Doug, great video! Did you make and write that song on the fly? I appreciate you showing us how you make the music. I like to see more of these videos.

[@dixonrooster5954]

Good shit bruv

[@stepitupandgo67]

that goldtop though

[@Ratso_DeLynch]

Hey there Doug Rapps amazing demo! PLEASE HELP if you see this I was hoping to get a recommendation for which mag frag pickups to go With! Did you ONLY try the riot studio ? OR you tried others ? Im stuck between the : * Riot bucker vs * Riot studio * OR the praxis + ? ^ The more I listen to KZbin demos to get approximations and manageable expectations on which pickup to get for hard rock , early vh, steve stevens George lynch warren demartini tones/ genres.. Thing is the more I listen and read the few reviews out there the more stuck I get because all of your pickups sound amazing if that even makes sense LOL very hard to narrow down without trying in person before hand your video here has helped immensely amd the grin on your face says it all .... ^ * what im looking for is great clarity, note definition one that can clean up but can still rock hard for those playing styles especially Vh, warren D lynch, steve stevens and michael schenker ; the 5 kings 🤟😅 ^ I found with other pickups the bridge can sound pretty wimpy between like 7,8k territory, that output has been too low in my experience BUT 15,16k + like a JB , super distortion or alderich is just too damn much of everything going on both good and bad frequencies.. ^ Last but VERY important factor is tonewoods aside let's say this if you were me looking down at my guitar : " I am a bright super strat guitar ( swamp ash body ) with highs, some lows not alot of mids , and I have a roasted maple neck + fretboard " ^^^ Knowing all of this what bridge pickup would you recommend that is atleast medium to high output in the mag frag line that might deliver the goods ? ^^^ * Riot bucker ? - riot studio? OR praxis plus ? * My amps are all meant for rock hard rock, morris ceriatone 50w are like a Jake e lee spec 2 channel jcm800 2204 circuit style amp and then I also have a bray coco 50 ( VH style 12,000 SLP amp ) and this year hopefully a wizard 50w. * Cabs are 2 oversized 2x12 cabs with eminence wizards inside although I need to change those speakers out lol I need a 4x12 cab it's the best tone but also the loudest and my 2x12 cabs x2 take up all the space my fiancé allows me to use in our townhouse so a 4x12 is in the distant future and IRs are usually the way to go for now. * Anyways I'll stop rambling there !! Aha Thank you for any replies and helpful feedback you might have and all the best from Niagara canada 🤟🤟🙏🙏 - Adam

[@DougErapps]

Hi Adam. i have only played the Riot Studio. it has amazing clarity. It is an unpotted pickup so it will squeal live, but that’s how you get that clarity. you can definitely call Dylana or John at 3rd Power. they would be more than happy to help you figure out the best MagFrag for what you’re looking for.

[@bobdimartino6738]

what drum machine is that? by the way i just picked this head and cab up great rig or if anyone can guess would be great thanks

[@Tom_FLHCS]

Love this, thanks for the insight! Been a fan since I saw you rock with Edgar Winter like 15 years ago! Are the drums a plugin or built-in to Luna?

[@markolivares6943]

Having issues with the wattage switch. Only works when the first gain stage is engaged however if you have the second gain stage engage it does nothing. Cannot find a solution for this

[@ericksegura478]

Perfect

[@metalfather8139]

actually pretty impressive most emulation out on amps sound terrible.

[@narfuvulas5345]

haha, love it!

[@OTCRock4one]

Sounds like AC/DC?

[@narfuvulas5345]

maybe needed a solo on top !

[@WyldestZakk1980]

Why did it took over 3,5 min to hear a dam note?

[@timroberts3821]
