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.

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

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.

[@joeydego2]

[@sampizzi4545]

Thank you so much for doing this video Doug. I too have an Apollo Twin x and using Luna. Dude, the guitar tones you dialled in were just killer. Love your playing; you are definitely an inspiration. Take care.

[@francodesarro2193]

Great video! It´s always nice to hear some AC/DC. Amazing tones btw.

[@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!!

Hey dude, nice to see you back :) I have been waiting for you to post something on recording, please keep them coming :) I have a mark 1 Blackstar HT Stage 100, incredible amps. I will send a link to my playing if interested :)

[@michaellandrumguitar]

sounds awesome

[@davidg-oo1ox]

Hey Doug thanks for all the inspiring demos over the years. Your playing is truly badass. Would you please share some of your thoughts on how you make drum tracks as they are just kick ass. Thank you brother 🙏🙏🙏

[@dixonrooster5954]

Good shit bruv

[@arielista]

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

[@joeglampfe]

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

[@glenfarina3027]

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

[@stepitupandgo67]

that goldtop though

[@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!!!!

[@narfuvulas5345]

haha, love it!

[@brantnorthman9040]

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

[@estructure8220]

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

[@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.

[@ericksegura478]

Perfect

[@TrailerHitchRVCenter]

Doug! Where ya been dawg?

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@narfuvulas5345]

maybe needed a solo on top !

[@h0tsex0r]

“Cop this”

[@timroberts3821]

SSP doug

[@OTCRock4one]

Sounds like AC/DC?

[@WyldestZakk1980]

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

[@marysini1391]

Doug my prefer guitarist and artist

[@stratboy2]

I wanted your CD, I asked you, I tried several ways and never received an answer from you. I'll leave your channel.

[@shovington67]

Doug.... Its been 6 months now, and I realize I dont live in your shoes, nor do I understand what you're going through at this time in your life. But many of us would LOVE to hear you rip a new high gain tune, or even a slow bluesy number. Hope you're doing well. With 15.5K+ subscribers waiting on your next incredible creation. Perhaps the gentleman at Revv amplification would send you a new 50watt to check out, or the 10th Anniversary Generator 120! I just bet they'd be tickled to send you something to try out. Take it easy....
