    Need that pedal bad. Queen is by far one of my favourite bands. I'd really love to emulate Brian May when I play his solos. Thanks a lot for the opportunity.

      A cheaper alternative is the Galileo pedal. I use it on my Brian May fly rig. I prefer it to the Kensington pedal as you can dial in a great BM tone with or without a separate treble boost.

      Whats wrong with using a regular Wah.

    • @arno-luyendijk4798
      @arno-luyendijk4798 Рік тому +1

      I should not be that fast; I have the Iron Bell Fuzz, the Hotone wah pedal (set on a static position half open) and the Boss Sy1 pedal and you can have both the Brian May guitar tone AND with a little switching on the SY 1, the synth sound additional for that 'I want to break free' solo. And most fun fact: I use a Les Paul copy (unknown brand named Triumph), a Bugera transistor amp and it still produces the Brian May tone with the pedals mentioned. You don't always have to dig deep into your purse with present pedal technology. Of course, a Vox produces a warmer sound (I also have a Vox Valvetronix), but it isn't just so very necesssary to have that precise amp and guitar anymore.

  • @frangolemac1160
    @frangolemac1160 2 роки тому +65

    Also a fun fact, Brian May was a huge fan of Rory Gallagher and in an interview he said that Gallagher's tone was his main inspiration

    You don't necessarily need a Red Special, if you have a bit of experience with a soldering iron you can wire the phase switches yourself, I did it with a cheap strat copy and it sound GREAT.

    • @arno-luyendijk4798
      @arno-luyendijk4798 Рік тому

      Yup, same thing here. I use a cheap Les Paul Copy, a Hotone wah pedal, the Mojo Iron Bell Fuzz and a Bugera amp. When I put that wah-pedal on static position halfway open, it produces exactly that Brian May tone. Of course a Vox amp is warmer, but I mean to say that it even doesn't require re-wiring anymore.

    I would love this pedal, not because I play guitar, which I do, and not because I love Queen & Dr. Brian May, but I do as well. No, it's ultimately because I live in OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada. Canada's capital city! And for all those reasons, I would love to have this pedal!

    Why did you have such a wonderful talent that is full of strange charms unique to your video? I was amazed at the excellence of your skills and was moved by your sincerity and hard work while watching the video. This is a video of you that I want to watch over and over even if I walk with my eyes open even if I close my eyes and walk on an empty street that has been swept away by the cold winter wind. I'm looking at your video like a dream. Thank you for comforting my heart because I liked your video as if I was passing through in my dream yesterday. Your video makes my weary heart happy. The countless stars shining in the winter night sky are each beautiful, but I fell in love with your video that shines in my heart and it is the most beautiful. Thank you for giving my heart a break and making me happy. It is your video that I want to watch over and over again. By chance at the winter window, as the algorithm introduced me, when I opened my UA-cam window, the first video I saw was your video.

    3:30 - Erm, no. A Wah pedal always makes a bell curve and just _moves_ it with the action of the pedal. You never get a clean tone when the wah is on because it _always_ boosts a frequency band. Which is why it has got a bypass switch.
