I saw them on this tour and was in front by the PA and didn't even need ear plugs. It sounded huge! I wish other bands would go for that sound. This guitar was my favorite that Luke used throughout the show.
I heard Mattao Mancuso, who admittedly is a digital guy, say that he prefers to keep his pedals down to 3 tops, the same 3 for years and really, really dial into them to understand all their characteristics and he keep’s things simple. That said, Matteo had an absolutely gorgeous tone/sound and I am a fan of keeping it super simple as there is less to go wrong, the signal is cleaner and there is less to maintain on the road. Steve’s rig is a work of art, but I can’t say that the complexity of it adds or makes it that that much better than an approach like Matteo’s.
Great video, but I do have a nitpick: At 20:53 he says "but you won't get that out of a modeller" - that's just false, straight up. This has nothing to do with the amp itself but all to do with the cab. If you get a modeller and put it through a poweramp, you can absolutely get feedback just like with an analog amp. Ask me how I know.
Yes - odd that he’d say modeling is the limitation to getting feedback when it’s a matter of volume. But many people conflate those scenarios and compare a loud amp/cab to a modeler thru headphones or small speaker. Run the modeler thru a powered cab and compare that.
I believe you're right. Surely the feedback is a result of enough energy of the same content hitting the strings and creating this feedback loop. That can be done with a monitor using a modeller. When standing there, we just got overwhelmed by the feedback and the great coupling between the guitar and amp - especially at such low volumes. It's the feeling when the guitar and amp becomes one instrument, which can be harder to achieve using modelers. Or even using a real amp but with tons of pedals in front of it. I personally gig with an FM3 and monitors. It's a fantastic system, but it's never the same as plugging straight into the Super Reverb at home. /Michael
@@tcelectronicThat’s as expected - put the FM3 (w/o a speaker sim) thru a powered guitar cab and you’ll be comparing apples to apples (more closely anyway) with an amp in the room. A modeler with cab sim thru a full range monitor is amplifying a simulation of mic-ed cabinet, not a direct cabinet sound. Or compare a mic’ed signal of your Fender amp to the monitored FM3.
@CodePoet I totally agree. This is not an apples to apples comparison. We've done many of those here at TC when developing AMPWORX. To @MFMusicLab point about conflating several aspects of the systems - we were totally guilty of that in this video. You could say the argument we made, was more about the use-case of a traditional guitar-amp-cab setup vs. the modern amp modeller to FoH setup. As Jon says "it's not hitting the pickups" when mentioning amp modelers. In your apples to apples test it would hit the pickups the same way (perhaps with a couple ms latency but that's irrelevant). The other point we made was about how clean the frontend is before the amp. This will interfere with the response and also feedback you get from the amp. That's the point about plugging straight in. /Michael
Latency, I believe, is not irrelevant. And I have yet to hear somebody do a side-by-side analysis. I’ve never played an amp modeler that reacted, the same as an amp. Have yet to hear anyone say that their modeler felt like a real amp. I don’t wanna take away from all of the advances that I’ve been made. When someone else is playing the amp modeler, it sounds fine to me. It just never feeds back as smoothly and at a reasonable volume the same way.
wao, this update was like the Christmas gift you got and need it sooo much, just you did not know you need it so bad. Thank you for this incredible update!
100% true, i think in the last 10-20 years there was kind of a counter movement against the big rack rigs and sounds of the 80s/90s. But lets be honest it sounded the best (ofcourse maybe not in every application, but for players like Luke 100%). I have a feeling people now are starting to appreciate it a little more again, which you can also see in the prices of the old rack gear.
@@carlodevivomusicontent2138 And there we have someone that’s part of the countermovement i was referring to. What tf is organic anyways in regards to guitartone bro? Thats almost the same as if i say ‘his tone today is more like a pizza’
@@carlodevivomusicontent2138 Its a term that can be interpreted subjectively and doesn’t have the same meaning to all players, ‘organic tone’ is a different thing depending on who you aak. It’s a very vague term in regards to guitartone therefore i don’t like to use it, if you use it, you might aswell use words like pizza to describe your guitartone, since it says just as much. Anyway maybe it could suprise you how ‘organic’ a rack can sound, don’t listen with your eyes.
Pickups aren’t stacks they are heat treated Cutlass single coils. They utilize the new Music Man HT (Heat Treated) bridge pickup utilizes patent-pending heat-treated pole pieces with a large ceramic magnet and an overwound coil which increases output and widens frequency response
@@cblackwell781Luke has a 20db boost built into all of his guitars accessible via the tone control, that’s what the battery is for. The pickups are passive.
@@samclaymusic Actually despite the passive pickups the entire circuit is active. It's always on regardless of whether the boost is engaged or not. This enables the balance to be adjusted across the pickup selections. Hence if you disconnect the battery, the guitar won't work.
This video just sold me on those Bogners. What a sound. But as far as no feedback on modelers, get a FreqOut pedal or on of the BOSS feedback pedals. Sounds exactly the same.
I'd agree with Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Though, I think the release of Appetite For Destruction is a very honorable mention. That album took the world with storm. Guitar driven music was big then, yes, but kids then and still want to be cool like Slash on a stage. When I ask my friends with no interest in guitar or rock music to name a guitar player, most, if not all, can only mention Slash. He and that album was essential to the longevity of guitar.
I built the board and the hinged tiers. the board is 42' x 14.5". there are two hinged tiers that I built rather than one long tier that would eventually sag. each tier is 19.75" x 5.75" x 2.5".
I remember seeing toto in 2001 with my uncle and older cousins. Steve still use rack like 2 half of fridge 😂... And then in 2010s I see him with this size pedalboard and 2 bogner amp. I guess this size of setup finally bscome his permanent rig (even though I see he change and update his pedals)
I understand it's TC Electronics but I kind of wish they talked about the pedalboard and what was in it. They kind of said it but it wasn't detailed like the other ones.. did I miss something? Is he using the switching on the amp or just just the pedals to get distortion?
It’s a bit incoherent talk. But if you watch it closer you can see it’s both. They talk about that in the previous setup Luke did not switch channels but now he does. He uses the Boss switch next to the right quarter master for that. And he uses the volume panel on everything which changes the gain and stacks the drive pedals with either.
@@grtxyz4358 okay, I'll specify.. previous Steve Gear was very specific.. this one seemed like we've done this before. Just get through it.. I still have a Bradshaw rig but I guess I have to realize it's not premier guitar.. they were mostly talking about the 2290 and what it did. Incoherent means you had no idea what I was talking about. I was talking about gear.. on the previous pedal board before this one. He had the switcher for the Bogner. I didn't see that so I'm assuming that he's not or is he using distortion but not as much and getting it more out of the pedal? That's what I was trying to make clear.. I hope this is more coherent or else stop smoking so much weed.. 😂.. I don't even know why I'm talking to you. You have no idea. You're just a guy in the internet 🤣
@@derekwilliams5149 The Boss footswitch replaced the original Bogner switch. Luke doesn't turn of the amp's FX Loop. so there was no need for the Bogner footswitch which engaged the clean/dirty channel and the FX Loop. So, the Boss footswitch is only to engage the clean and dirty channel of the Bogner (main amp/right amp)
It seems that the failure of Strymon's Zuma power supply unit during Toto's concert in Luxembourg last year left a bitter taste in Steve Lukather's mouth... Direct replaced by CIOKS DC7. I had the same experience (in my level ahah little stage) ; it's true that Strymon is very quiet, but so fragile that it can't withstand live use...
I’m sure no one will answer this but if the compressor is first in the chain, why is it on the other side of the board? I guess my point is, why run a long patch cable when you could have a short cable and that might also lead to others using a shorter patch? Obviously he is a top notch professional and I’m not trying to challenge him but merely understand. I try to learn something from all of the gear reviews. Thanks to anyone who may clarify this for me!

I don't like the obligatory delay and reverb on all the time. I like a marshall plexi just starting to get crunchy, short slapback, play softer or roll back the volume for clean and dig in for drive. Running an echo into a crunchy amp, instead of placing if after the preamp/drive, is such a cool sound.
I don’t know, to be honest, all this gear and it doesn’t sound good at all. A MEM Strat and an HX stomp sounds much better to me. I suppose it’s impressive standing in front of the amps, but ‘tone’? Nah…
Glad that Steve got away from those horribly thin sounding rack setups. He's the kind of player that is so versatile that it's a shame when all of his sounds had that processed skim, like a film of plastic, sitting atop across every ''patch''. Plug him direct into a real amp and let him wail, of course he needs some mod and delay but make all that secondary to his tone. The folks in the higher $ seats need to be hit in the gut with a fist not with an ice pick in the ear.

That was amazing! A true master tech at work.
I noticed they switched to the Cioks power supplies in this rig since that Zuma went down.
That is just amazingly great tone from the start to the end of the signal chain and masterfully demoed!
Steve's new single coil musicman guitar is so fire 🔥 those pickups are pretty hot...that tone is massive
