No, because Larry Carlton's guitar solo on Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne was recorded in the mid 70s, and Fu Manchu's cover of Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult was recorded in the late 90s, and those are the two best guitar sounds, so QED the 80s did not have the greatest guitar tones.

Absolutely glorious tones brother. The trichorus + detune sounds so so good! 4:25 - my feelings exactly!!! Thank you!

[@blackstratblues]

Landau's detune settings that he mentioned in a recent interview are: L -13 cents, 20ms, R +13 cents, 25ms. Popped those into the H3000 D/SE and it sounds about right. I just put together a board with the HX Stomp, you can do the Tri Stereo Chorus and stereo pitch Detune in paralell on the HX, sounds rather nice!

[@Crazykiwi2]

Good call on the trichorus, Dimension C was also popular at the time and, arguably, more widely used. Shiva made a trichorus pedal which is still around although harder to find, for the cheapskates, Nux Core Chorus offers trichorus setting and the Line 6 M5 offers both trichorus AND Dimension D emulations (but not together unfortunately). You're spot on for delays too - typically long and short together - 315ms and 600ms (Lukather) or sometimes 400 and 800ms (Billy Duffy). Reverb was typically plate (sometimes hall) with a looooooooooong tail (up to 4 seconds). For dirt sounds, the chorus typically came before the distortion to thicken it up. Interesting that you're putting the comp after the pre because that is going to raise the post gain noise floor somewhat.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah the comp definitely ups the sizzle! I've got the Klark Teknik BBD320 which is absolutely killer for dimension sounds and IMO is a little more subtle and a bit less niche than the Tri, so it kinda works on more stuff. Parallel universe version of this would probably be Keeley Comp -> DC-2w -> Strymon DiG -> Poly Beebo with the Lexicon 224 Reverb IR's

[@Crazykiwi2]

@@LeonTodd That Klark Teknik is a great find for the price! You could probably cover gain in a separate video as well. Master Effects in Canada do a decent replica of a Mesa Mark 4 series called the Tetragon aka M4. TCJ Effects do something that replicates a boosted JCM800 called the Bombastortion. Lukather has one in his pedal board for solos. Both are surprisingly reasonable in price. Although I hope the prices don't go up if you do mention them! :) Speaking of which, Richard Watson has covered similar ground here but more from a US session heroes Landau/Huff perspective: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH_OeqGvmbWJhK8

[@tommywilliamsjr.697]

@@joshuaperdue6883 I would love to hear what @LeonTodd thinks! I'm gonna go out on a limb and say something like a Strymon Iridium, Ampli-firebox, or a Boss IR-200. I haven't used any of them, but it may get in the ballpark.

Gorgeous man! I’m intrigued to know why you chose the Tri Chorus over the Micro Pitch…maybe a comparison video could be interesting ! cheers man…subbed!

[@LeonTodd]

Since the Tricerachorus does tri chorus AND detune it ticked two boxes at once. Micropitch delay is a killer pedal if you just want detune

[@LeonTodd]

hahaha I don't even have to watch this to know the one, you got me!

[@tubo777]

Amazing playing Leon, and you got like 90% there with the pedals, no one except someone who owns the 80s units would notice a difference. BTW, your collection is growing and looking nice, when is the fulltone TERC coming? Is the only missing piece in your puzzle

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get one to complete the rack at some point. The Klark Teknik Dimension clone does a pretty awesome job at the moment though.

[@peterharvin2775]

Yeah, pretty much nailed it. But you make an excellent point about the pedals vs an effects modeler. I love my Helix, but I do wonder if I'd be more inclined to experiment with a pedal, whose knobs just seem to call out for twisting.

[@thetonetosser]

Used to lug a couple of 4U racks around in the 80s and 90s to get all these tones. And a stereo amp set up with a couple of 2x12s. Probably why my back is stuffed

[@guitargirlutube]

When you added the trichorus I went, oh my God! Lol

[@svenroever1738]

[@spazlabconcepts4033]

I used to have an ADA MP-2 and still weep that my younger self got rid of it instead of adding a delay pedal to it and learning to dialing it in. I traded for a "new" Digitech 2112. Thought effects made my tone. Whoops.

Shouldn't be too hard. if you start with all the depths around 75% on the Trichorus on the Axe it's close

[@LeonTodd]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jupjuck]

Here's a tip dialing in multiple FX buffers in a recentish tps video they turned on a heap of buffers at once and found that the tone was somewhat more compressed... so you wanna turn all the pedals on at once with the mix on zero including the comp and dial in from there Also with an axefx model or IR/attenuation setup we tend to run the master volume / Poweramp in ways that would blow our heads off if we were sitting in front of a tube anp/cabinet dialing in say a dynacomp (think the phase inverter in a Marshall model) So it can help to run a compressor model a good bit lower if you've got your amp tone dialed in I mean it depends what you ultimately want of course Cheers Leon!

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah any time I plug my amps in through a cab in here I'm like "why does it have to be so loud to sound good?!" :p

[@ScottGailor]

[@LeonTodd]

Thankyou brother!

[@bananabourbonaenima]

Reminds me of the 'Owner of a lonely heart' tones

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Really cool, although one of the benefits of the old rack gear which is harder to duplicate with pedals is the programmability of rack gear with presets and MIDI control. I know some pedals have MIDI control, but there would need to be something like a pedal loop switcher to take full advantage of it. And then you do start to get close to the price of some of the all-in-one units. But still... there is still something fun about pedals.

[@LeonTodd]

Everything except the comp here supports MIDI. As you said though, then you're adding a switcher to your board and dragging the entire vibe more towards a "multifx" style thing anyway.

[@SashaCrutaire]

You can do that sweet detune and chorus thing with the Rocktron Replifex too (or even better using the detune from the Replifex in to the chorus of the Intellifex). I used to run mine that way when I ran a rack setup, such a sweet and lush sound! I know you want to try that now. :D. It all makes me want to go back to a stereo rig.

[@LeonTodd]

Replifex is so underrated!

[@grimeyhonkyracing3938]

The reverb stopped working on my old early 90s crate, can I use the mercury 7 to just add reverb and still keep the sound i get from my amp settings?

[@Yupppi]

The tri-chorus sound made me think of Tesla's Hang Though. Although I think most of the chorus is delivered by the bass track actually. So rare to notice effects on bass tracks, for me at least. I'll be honest and say I've been looking to get out of pedals for some years now (although still grabbing nice ones here and there, I'm not trying to get rid of them), and looking to have rack units that would do all the business, having just the bare minimum like a preset MIDI board in the feet for simplicity, somewhat of a plugging straight into the amp guy. The pedal tap dance and cabling and positioning everything in the feet feels a bit too much, but obviously the world is moving in that direction (so much cheaper to do it in pedals as well, for both sides of the market). And it's obvious why too, just a couple of rack units and not even a 2 slot tube power amp (just that lee jackson 1 unit, even though it's heavy as sins) and I can barely get the rack box lifted from the ground. And everybody is doing pedals on youtube these days. So I'm not that into pedal videos, but this context is good for many and I'm sure I'm in the very margin of it, the channel just needs videos like this to keep afloat. There's not an endless list of good rack units available, if even existing. And you do a good job. Can tell it's late october video, just saw the door creep open when you engaged the delay. Can you talk about being a youtuber of your kind in some of your QA videos? Like it might seem like a simple thing "just play a bit of guitar and release the video", but it's somewhat niche topic and to keep finding the units and topics, figuring out an interesting perspective that everybody else hasn't done already. The editing and perhaps the bit I've noticed the most, you're VERY active engaging your community in the comments. It must take a lot of your day and the payout is tight, and then you're running a gigging and recording band.

[@johnevered9640]

I am extremely lucky that I have to change the pickups in a guitar because if I didn't have something more important to do, this vid would have had me spend a ton of money haha! also considering that you've done a few free the tone videos, it would be hella interesting seeing you compare their tri stereo chorus (the tri avatar?) to the tricerachorus

[@AngusClarkGTR]

[@thatoneguy-qc6gf]

Sounds great! I got some questions: How did you get it to sound dirty at 9:10 for example, is the order you presented the pedals in the same for signal chain, and which if these pedals would you run in front of the amp and in the effects loop?

[@spazlabconcepts4033]

The rule of thumb has been gain based (clean boost, overdrive, distortion, eq, and compression) go to the input while time based (chorus, delay, reverb, etc) are loop. However, switching orders and where they are in the chain does create different sonic characters. Example, Zakk Wylde doesn't use a loop and has a chorus pedal in front of the amp. I also put a chorus after my delay (backwards to the rule of thumb) with awesome results.

[@user-el8rx3td6c]

Any chance you could share your secondary settings for that magic tone? I set my knobs as you have them and it just doesn't seem to sound the same...

[@hillarypetersonlange780]

I tried to get these tones on the line 6 hd500x but the unit does not have a detune pedal in it.

[@genghiskhanii6646]

I have a kind of poor man's version of all of this for my band (we do a sort of punk-tinged UFO/Saxon/Judas Priest thing), and with me being an 80's kid, I just HAVE to have some shimmer and depth in my leads. I'm running a 2000 LP into an MXR Phase 90, MXR Q zone (both for my EVH and Schenker fix), a Digitech Multi Chorus (very effective bargain bin modulation), a Freidman Dirty Shirley for the crunch, EHX Silencer, then for lead boost into send return of a Lehle lop box I have a Boss GE7 eq for vol and slight 1k bump, A DD7 for echos btwn 300-400 ms, and a TC Flashback for 40-70ms delay. One push on the Lehle engages the EQ and delays. Chorus/Phase etc to taste. These all go from pedalboard into a Quilter Tone Block 202 amp (great pedal platform) and out of a 1960A cab with 2xV30s and 2x G12T75s. Cheap but really does the job and compact for a quick gig occasionally hehe. My vintage Gallien, ADA and Alesis etc rack stuff stays in my office, looking like some Star Trek console. Cheers

[@ejd715]

Is that "One Simple Thing" by The Stabilizers at the 4:00 minute mark you are playing? Perfect tone by the way!

I figure Freely given idea Free to All who might utilize it.. really just make one side of a guitar pick slightly shorter than the other and make top of pick higher on one side than other.. kicks the rake out like a chopper or desert Baja Husqvarna moto.. causes pick tip to slant slightly towards neck pickup etc.. so picking becomes easier,less drag across string's, faster More prescise picking of single Notes arpeggios, sequences Etc.. still working decent for rhythm chord comping Etc..

Money does not bring happiness, but you can be miserable in comfort.

Damn my GAS needs decision therapy! That's still a lot of money and the argument becomes clearer to go towards a multi-effects unit for bang for the buck. Having said that you did not have sit for hours to get the tone you wanted!
