MESA/Boogie Fillmore™ 50 1x12 Combo: Andy Timmons - “Welcome Home”
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Andy Timmons plays the song “Welcome Home” from his most recent album Theme From a Perfect World through the new Fillmore 50 1x12 combo. Throughout this performance, Andy is playing through Ch. 2 in the HI Mode, using the volume control on the instrument to control dynamics between higher gain and sustaining sections and near clean and subtle clipped sounds. The Fillmore’s vintage-styled gain is incredibly responsive and ‘cleans up’ beautifully in higher gain modes with lower instrument volumes. With two identical channels, you can configure the Fillmore to deliver different gain levels of the same mode via the foot switch, OR… you can set up the Fillmore for a sparkling clean channel and a desired flavor overdrive or classic gain.
Recorded with Andy’ signature Ibanez AT-100 with DiMarzio Cruiser neck and middle pickups and a Dimarzio AT-1 bridge pickup, through his pedalboard and into the Fillmore 50 1x12 combo. Pedals used during this song were a Strymon Timeline Delay, Strymon Big Sky Reverb, Diamond Tremolo and a GNI Chorus. No other pedals were used during the performance. Mic’d with a Shure KSM 313 and a Shure SM57 and blended 50% each.

AT is a national treasure. May he never grow old.
Making a living from music isn't easy and sometimes I just don't want to pick up the guitar but I swear, when I see Andy play, I immediately get an urge to pick up my guitar and give it my all, and Andy is the only guitarist that inspires me in this way because everybody knows that practicing and doing drills, exercises and studying sometimes becomes so repetitive that there are moments you don't feel like it but Andy you're like a pick me up, thanks man. Mike.
It's the same way for me too, Andy is the only guitarist that actually makes me want to practice and play more, usually watching super talented players can be discouraging for me, but not Andy!
Go listen to Guthrie Govan man
Give this man his own signature amp!! Andy Timmons has the best sound in the biz. Amazing guitarrist.
I think the Lonestar Classic was somewhat of an unofficial signature amp. It will always be associated with Timmons.
@@MintStiles So true. Hopefully they bring it back.
Well done guys! Mesa for life.
Edi Roque Official Mesa is all you need!
I wish my music room had all of those incredible Mesa/Boogie rigs~!!!
The crunch on those chords sounds fantastic
I wish my room had this incredible Andy Timmons to hang with ;-) !!!
Andy Timmons is definitely my favorite guitar player. Him and Brad Paisley.
What a great song!!
Awesome performance by Andy, and great technical information in the notes about the recording set-up. Thanks! I own a Fillmore 50 and your comments about how you can use the HI channel are bang on.
Such an awesome player, picks the perfect notes, the guitar is a voice!
Not literally a voice like the guy from Police Academy is sat behind the amp...
My word, I don't think AT has sounded better. Awesome tune, great, great playing and tone to die for. Absolutely smokin'! Andy's dialed in his sound for years, so it's not all the Fillmore, but dang that amp sounds great in AT's hands. When he hits that chorus pedal at the 1:52 mark, I almost died - unbelievable part, perfect sound.
I could listen to Andy play out of a tin can. This guy deserves a sig amp.
K -Ray i dont think he needs one.
If there is a better guitarist....Ive not heard one....AT. Class act
This is an unfair demo . Andy is just too good and will make you buy anything he touches hahahaha😊
Finally, Andy Timmons is back (from Brazil).
That pedalboard ❤️
As Randall Smith would say: "a lesson in the virtue of quality." :)
Classic performance! Mesa Engineering and Andy Timmons...
Such beautiful inspiring music. And yes, Mesa Boogie amps.
What a feeling
great song, great playing, great amp! well done Mesa and Andy!!!
Thank you, Masque! :)
Amazing! This gets really close to his signature tone without any of the drive pedals that he usually uses. That is impressive.
Matt Hoffpauir That’s not impressive, that’s his fingers and interpretation of guitarsounds. Give him a Marshall with a Gibson Les Paul and he still sounds great and as himself.
So true. Where I can buy Andy Timmon's fingers? :)
Haters gonna hate. Thank goodness there is only one that I found. Kudos to Andy on this song. I know my opinion means nothing, but still like the tone and the song itself.
I love hearing how the dirt on this responds to delay and chorus. Sounds fantastic
love that song!
pure modern tone......with some classic vibes
This is a very useful video. It made me appreciate Boogies again. Besides that, it's a delight to hear Andy playing.
Thanks Andy! Beautiful, emotionally written and played.
Andy sounds great as usual, playing and tone wise of course. It's really interesting to hear him not playing his Lonestars. While it always sounds like Andy, it also shows how versatile the Fillmore is. Great job Mesa Boogie!
Amazing!!!
How can anyone dislike this?
Andy is the man, could make anything sound good, great amp however i prefer his tone with the mesa boogie lonestar
AMAZING, this amp like me so much and Andy is amazing
damn that killer tone
Awesome playing
I wish that room was part of my house!! Awesome tone and playing!!
Just beautiful!
This song reminds of japanese video game songs from the 80´s... In a very good way!
I want this amp SO bad. It's absolutely perfect.
They are super good! I got lucky and found out my church had one (which is where I normally play) when our other guitarist took his Hot Rod Deville home one day (my usual amp there) without telling us - I showed up and I was like, no amp. They said - oh wait, we've got this Line 6 amp in the studio. I'm like, eek... we can try it out ... and I walk back there, and this Boogie is sitting in a corner with a cover over it. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. They're like yeah we bought it a few years ago to have as a house amp but no one ever asked about one so we just kept it here. Will that work? I'm like...yeah. that should work just fine. LOL. It's really amazing
Mine arrives today ... thanks mb and Andy!!
I bought mine after hearing Andy play one. Made one slight tweak, replaced the V1
12ax7 mesa boogie tube with a NOS Tung-sol 12ax7. Now it sounds like the Blackface of my dreams. 🥲
love Mesa products. i have a transatlantic 15 and i'm still amazed by the tones that thing puts out in such a small package. with that said i would LOVE to have a Mark 5:25 one day. probably should start saving for it now :)
p.s. i picked up a mark five 25 yesterday!
Picked one up myself last week and it’s amazing would like to know how it’s going for you. So much to dial in!
Andy suena con cualquier cosa. El mejor guitarrista lejos.
I have a mark five and I love it, love Andy Timmons as well. That being said, I bet Andy could play through a garbage can and it would sound fantastic....somehow
Pure tone!
Had no idea that Satch had such a stylistically similar axe wielding maniac out there! Man, they’d be great on the same stage!
Just perfect.
Genial interpretación y tema.
How to sell any amp: get Andy to play through it. I’m sure it sounds great for mortals too!
Found this today looking for this amp after hearing about it and I've watched this probably 12 times so far today lol. Buying his album for damn sure. Just curious about the tuning he's in?
Standard tuning. First section is in C#m. Mid to end is in Em.
does it matters which amp he is playing ? i dont think so :D he s always amazing :D
Wow!
Esse eu vi ao vivo tocando com mesa. Show
Eu tb vi BERTOLOTO !!!!! VC TA EM TODAS TB HEIN ?! KKKKK
@@tmarks kkkk. Então TMJ irmão
Abração
Smoke and dust from leaving all of us behind...
Brilliance by one of the greatest players of all-time. I really think this amp might be for me. As of late, I'm favoring combos. Not sure exactly why since I've always loved the air push and volume of half-stacks...but it's what it is.
lollll this guy one of the greats??? he sounds like any kid at GC
@@soofitnsexy If "this guy" wasn't over 50, you might be correct. In this case, nope.
@@soofitnsexy I just checked your channel... you have a ways to go.
@@DrFearCo in what area? what do you mean?
@@DrFearCo i dont play guitar if thats what ya mean...Im a painter
Fuck I wish that were my room. I’d like, run my guitar through them ALL at the same time and all sorts of crazy shit😊
andy has the BEST TONE.
Has anyone noticed he switched out his middle cruiser for a strat single coil? I’m trying to figure out why? Like if he just took the neck single coil of a stray and put it in the middle to possibly get that classic single coil sound in addition to the cruiser and the signature dimarzio?
Not only did he replaced the Cruiser in the middle,with a proper singlecoil,he also added a mini switch on the guitar.
My guess is,the mini-switch is for splitting the humbucker into singlecoil mode and also add more tone combinations,like parallel/series etc.
I have a ''Frankenstein'' Partscaster with a similar setup(S.Duncan JB/SSL-1/Coolrails) and the new Ibanez AZ series also have something like this.
I went to his clinic in Kuala Lumpur in 18/8. He said that he changed that middle pickup. But he didn't like it and he never like to play on the middle position. So, he won't tell us the brand of the pickup because he never endorsed something that he didn't like and didn't play. And also he said that, he might change it back to cruiser.
Sounds like the crunch mode of Mark V.
i wanna play that ibanez 0.0
Awesome!
Buenísimo Andy timmons
Sold!!
Awesome demo. Andy is a beast. Although in your description, it should be “Diamond Tremolo” instead of “Diamond Tremelo”
Top notch, Tom - thanks for the kind words and thanks for the correction. Fixed. :)
かっちょええ
Was he sending those pedals through the effects loop?
it's not his amp, it's not his guitar, it's not his pedals, it's his fingers!!!
Smoking!
How did Andy achieve the stutter effect around 2:22 with the 5-way switch? Is the second pot a seperate volume for middle and neck pickup or is the strat middle pickup disconnected from the switch?
guitarelaxed it is possible that he modded it to have a second volume, but I would say it's more likely to be the output volume difference between the singles and the humbucker.
With a responsive drive channel/gain stage (soft clipping) the difference between the pickups may be enough to make the sound clean, and then make it seems like a killswitch
I believe it’s his GNI chorus effect. There is a video floating around on UA-cam where he details his GIG Rig and all of his pedals.
guitarelaxed Different tonalities I guess.
Andy sulla sua chitarra at100 ha due volumi e un tono . Chiudendo il secondo volume che comanda pick up al manico e centrale e usando il selettore a 5 posizioni ottiene quell'effetto . Tutto qua
Hi, what amp would be better for me i play blues mostly > The Fillmore 25 or the MESA/Boogie California Tweed 2:20 ??? Please give me your opinion thanks ..
Hi there! Both are great amps, but if you want that Blues tweed amp sound, the tweed would likely be your best choice!
1:49
I have the fillmore 50 head, and it is practically brand new. Has anyone had problems with the reverb knob affecting the volume? Both channels are supposed to be identical, but i set the EQ on both channels exactly the same, but one is compressed, and the other is bright? There's just so many weird things going on. I feel like there is something that i am doing wrong, i even tried the footswitch, and still strange. The amp sounds great, and is built well,.. I need helpppp! PLEASE!!!!🤣
This vs sypro keeley?
Foo Floyd Beatles all in one jam
As much as I love Andy, I can't say I appreciated the amp quality with this kind of video because it demonstraded more the pedals in the clean channel than anything else... that said, AT tone is great.
Read the description. The only pedals that were used are reverb, delay, chorus and tremolo. The overdrive comes from the amp.
+guitarelaxed
Reverb, Delay, Chorus, =
No Tone!!!!
reminds me of norah jones' piano playing
Oups he did it again!!!!!
I feel like this tone lacks some clarity, even considering how warm Andy likes it...
Ah man, now I'm torn between this and a Triple Crown. Does Fillmore have MIDI for changing channels with a switcher? I'm guessing not. Can you connect a switcher with a jack to program channel switching? Really like the simplicity of this amp...and the tones, of course! You never fail there Mesa :)
Hi JJ - the Fillmore is intentionally VERY simple, so... no MIDI. But you could certainly connect the 1/4" footswitch jack to any 1/4" control jack on a MIDI controller or a 1/4" to MIDI converter device. Thanks for your interest and hope this helps!
me too
This lowkey sounds like a korean ballad or even an anime intro.
Would love to hear some demo's without any external affects being used.
Dean W I think there is like a 20 minute video with Andy testing with the mesa guys.
la guitarra que mejor le queda..🤔
He really needs to get his fringe cut!!! Lol 😵
Will there be a 2x12 combo?
Why would you want that ? It'll weigh 9,000 lbs..lol !

In My Life by The Beetles
I can't really distinguish this sound from the Lonestar. They both sound great but, I don't know how to put it... they sound so clean, so sober. The silverfaces have more personality, don't they? Hm. :/
Sounds like Andy Timmons always does.
Will Mesa ever get away from their 1990’s image of hard rock only? Really was hoping this amp would do a great clean.
Look at Mesa Boogies own promotion, where a player does it with clean sounds.
Wtf are you talking about..
My fav cleans ever are the Lone Star 2x12 w/ 6L6 tubes. Just saying, Mesa does cleans also. You have to respect the fact that they sell a TON of amps to higain players.
ua-cam.com/video/u_UwAuPVsv8/v-deo.html THERE ARE NO WORDS
Whats wrong with you people! This is a play through, not an amp demo. Mesa has video demos of this amp, look at those and stop your bitching. You can never buy an amp based what it sounds like when Andy plays it. I'll never sound like that no matter what amp I own!
This is 100% correct, tone in more in your fingers than it is gear. Andy would sound like Andy through any other rig. That goes for any other player too, including your own tone. Not saying gear isn't important, it is, but less so than practicing and playing.
If it is, I'm sold anyway
This amp's sound is great. I like it,but this amp has not become his main amp.
how can I get that "distortion"? I mean, it sounds with a lot of gain, but it is somehow "clean". If I use a lot of gain, then it is sloppy, it sounds bad, and if I use lower gain, it looses attack/impact. A middle point does not help for me.
I have an Ibanez JS, with an Boss OD-3 and an Blackstar amp, and I'm not conformed with the distorted sound :/
I understand that it is puzzle with the equipment: guitar, effects, amps, hands, technique... but any idea?
oooook.... I have seen ua-cam.com/video/rJmyYkyav0A/v-deo.html and it is the amp.. thank you MESA Boogie :)
It maybe worth looking at technique as well. Timmons Eric Johnson etc are adept at keeping the strings not being played quiet with both hands to manage higher levels of gain. Difficult to see without looking very closely though
The cleanness of this gain is because of the Gain structure the amp has. It would be challenging to emulate this on a blackstar, they're fizzy and bland compared to these type of amp. You can get pretty close if you stick his signature pedal in front the clean channel of your amp and EQ accordingly. Also, Andy's bridge pickups are veeery clear and like overwound PAF-y, I feel he gets that thickness from EQing his amps mildly dark and substracting some mids, that way you retain note clarity without being an icepick. Hope it helps!
@@acompres wow, thanks for the analysis!!
@@cesardmora86 Any time!
Payed through 50 plus Pedals
" way to go Mesa"
Delay. Reverb. Tremolo. Chorus.
That'd be 4. Not 50. But who's counting.😆
This needsJR Richards singing over it, sounds like Dishwalla
Man i love Andy, his pedals, his sound, his amps... but man, he needs a better looking guitar
You mean an more expensive but shur not better Fe..............dlsjkfdgtsker overplayed???
Jak mesa nie brzmi już nawet Timmons-a to jest źle. Nie wiem jak na żywo, ale na nagraniach każde jest delikatnie mówiąc słabe....Grube, brzydkie ziarno. Jak stary wstrętny fuzz..
How about no pedals. You are selling the amp.
Agreed - how do I know how good the amp sounds w/all those affects.
To me Mesa is selling Andy.
