Recreating AC/DC's "Ride On" solo with SoloDallas gear (Storm, pickups & Impulse Responses)

[@DavidScott-hi4fz]

Hi Fi, thanks so much for showing the tone controls on the SG. Thats a really underrated part of the tone! So much range there.

[@SoloDallas]

Your comment gets pinned. As old school musicians, volume controls are FUNDAMENTAL!

[@RockToneRevelry]

Nice touch with the acoustic Fil, your playing here really reminds me of the early days on KZbin, coming home from school to find a new SoloDallas video to enjoy and learn from! Still learning. Still rocking 🤘

[@kiligoku9609]

Hey Fil, feels like the old days with your 1987× in the red studio befor KZbin cuts your Clips with AC/DC stuff. i remeber this days really well, i learn a lot from it and i still do it. greetings Kili Locke from We Salute You AC/DC Tribute

😍

[@1968skw]

Well played SD! You definitely have the tone, touch and feel of Angus!

[@schwarg]

love that vibrato, so Angus!

[@Guitarjosii]

Really great, love these videos 🙂 reminds me of the days in the red studio you had many years ago...

[@SoloDallas]

… you remember those times! 🙏❤️💥

[@breakrite9785]

Never disappoint. Spot on tone and feel. ❤

[@Ctaff63]

I could watch and listen to this guy play guitar all day long. Makes me happy. 👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@M81_WOODLAND]

Amazing how that box has a distinct change (accentuation?) of the sound of the pic attack in addition to the gain or volume increase. Thanks, Fil. Always great to hear you play.

[@StangDGB]

good greif man im just trying to listen to some music and study, but this tone and playing is so fire I cant even focus. amazing!

[@CR3W1SH03S]

One of my favorite songs. Thanks man.

[@HotJoe]

Has to be my favorite AC/DC solo. It just has so much feel in it! You nailed it as usual!

[@richardnelson2521]

Spookily I just installed a '71 pup to use with my Storm AND, I'm polishing 'Ride On' for my 2024 summer busking sessions in Edinburgh, Scotland. Without the SoloDallas Gear I CANNOT get the Angus tone. Thx Fil for your dedication to bringing this tone to me and countless others. Best. RN

[@SoloDallas]

Mate you're awesome!

[@vince9593]

brilliant solo there, one of the best attempts at that classic song!

[@cesargiron6827]

Brutal Sound!! ❤ Great Job.

[@Bluesr0cker]

Man I know I’m like a record on repeat but that was amazing! The acoustic really felt perfect and the solo, regardless of the tone, had an amazing feel. Every vid you upload brings joy man, I hope you’re doing good!

[@dazzratpac8557]

Absolutely awesome 👏

[@RnRWND73]

You inspire thousands with your playing, Fil. Thank you.

[@SoloDallas]

Ty!!!

[@davidpitcairn950]

Two in a week - unexpected treat! Really like the way you film them.

[@Gabblerwba1]

Excellent rendition, tops👍

[@Mister_Ago]

Great touch as usual! Nice Fil, "One of these days..."

[@50-Fifty-Vintage]

I had to leave a comment just because of how badass that is. You really nailed it.

Excellent!!

[@KyleSG88]

Sounds great!

[@domenicopagnutti867]

Grande Filippo.... che suono mostruoso, identico.... Complimenti....

[@PsicodellaOficial]

Amazing tone and play!

[@cadenbariekman5656]

That was really good man thank you 😊

[@reverendjetstream]

That acoustic guitar make it sound like 70's Rolling Stones record. Amazing playing and tone there sir!!!

[@johnwelsh2912]

Fil fantastic great sound and playing.

[@akpistol141]

What a tone, brother!

[@jamesallen884]

Absolute 🔥! The tone ,,, damn

[@delmerstanley9734]

Dude!!! Awesome man all I can say… epic bro t😮

Right on the tone...great solo👍

[@freeworld65]

Brooo i'm so Addicted to this type of phil videos

[@old_Taki]

Oh, boy! That brings memories of Fil's tutorials back.... Great, great tone and you are still the best Angus Young beside the man himself 😊😉

[@SoloDallas]

... Taki it seems I'll have to come back for updated tutorials then! Be well brother and see you soon

[@old_Taki]

@@SoloDallas @SoloDallas I, of course, saw that you uploaded quite a few old videos on the other platform but new tutorials would be appreciated by all of us. I still haven't given up the hope to see you playing live in Italy, if and when you come visiting Europe. From south Bavaria it's only a couple of hours with the car 🤘🎸😉 All the best Fil stay healthy and always have a guitar nearby!

[@VelhosNovos]

Great! Thinking of buying that Impulse Response but I dont Know...

[@SoloDallas]

It’s really a no-brainer, get our green back 1969 cabinet there is no way you can be disappointed about it. Our impulse responses are dramatically different from every single offering. No one did as many off - axis and room responses as we did. And if you are unhappy, just get in touch with me either here or via our company email

[@steviesteve750]

I hadn't realised that the tone control was set so low, makes sense. I know he plays with the vol quite low too and uses that to boost for solos. The volume knob on the SG or the LP has such a big impact on the tone too! I'm about to replace the pups in my SG, but not sure which ones. These or the T Tops? Unless these are the T Tops?! They sound great anyway

[@SoloDallas]

Stevie - get ours! YES we make t-tops and these are them solodallas.com/products/solo71

[@davidschlageter5962]

Tres cool! 🙂

Nailed it! What IR did you use? :)

... four of five of them at different levels - the 1969 Greenback ones from the G12M package we offer - will list them here for you later by IR name individually

[@robinstahlbaum9813]

lovely si si

[@p7g498]

amp used plus settings? i have a plexi and a 2204. i understand its all in the hands but every nuance helps… been with you since the beginning glad the solodallas team still rocking and making great products

[@SoloDallas]

Marshall Superlead - settings are on video (did you miss the little window bottom right at the beginning? ) - Bud - it's NOT all in the hands. If it were, it didn't matter what guitar, what pickups, what amplifier, what speakers and what additional gear we'd be using. It is not - it's a false myth that some like to propagate - I don't: that's why I select specific gear which we propose here. Gear is just as important as technique. Thanks for being here with me!

[@PETRAS_]

Hey Fi!, do your guitars have 50s wiring?, can you post the wiring and pots/capacitors you use?. thanks!

[@SoloDallas]

Brother - SGs have ‘60s wiring (ALL of them). Les Pauls have ‘50s wiring, all of them

[@PETRAS_]

@@SoloDallas thank you!! have a great day

[@StandupRoss]

Loved the vid bud. Any chance you could say what the settings were on the amp? I couldn't get a good look into what they were

[@SoloDallas]

Sorry about the small window - on top of my head presence 8, bass 8, mids 2 treble 8 and volume 2. My Superlead is old and it saturates quickly - the Storm contributes to this - recommendation is to keep the sound “clean dirty” 🤘

[@VolatileDave]

Got the trademark vibrato down for sure.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

awesome

[@WeeDavie56]

I love to see you take angus’s place in the band once the big man passes as imo you are the only one capable of replicating him

[@SoloDallas]

Thanks bud. I have studied hard. However, it's never going to happen. AC/DC will end - peacefully I hope - when they have to end - when they decide it's over. And that will be it and we'll have decades of music to listen to and play - respectfully! Be well, Fil

[@piratesofthehatchie]

I could taste that my friend. 🤘🚬 Thanks.

[@jimestooper1480]

I thought Angus didn't use the Schaffer in the studio until 77

[@KyleSG88]

He didn't until probably until about 78-79 but don't mean ya can't use it for the early songs to add some spice to it :)

[@jimestooper1480]

@@KyleSG88 indeed. Was just curious because Fil said “recreating,” but then I heard the acoustics and realized it wasn’t a 1:1 recreation haha

[@KyleSG88]

@@jimestooper1480 :)

[@realdocloco]

It sounds great but I was really surprised to see the Superlead's mids at 0

[@SoloDallas]

... used more (as a setting) in recording than you'd think. Creates a lot of sag which is often needed. That is how you get that "aAAaWwww" in the amp. Live? Different thing altogether. But for recording, microphones HEAR every little thing.

[@anitaschvitz9749]

[@AndyNyle]

Maybe a tab bit less distortion and more bass?

[@SoloDallas]

... if you hear the original it's pretty much in the same register. I agree with you, I tried - but it didn't change much. Really little distortion here (if you noticed). The Superlead was at 2 (and this '69 is already saturating there) but not a lot of drive at all - it's truly more perception
