    When your early career moments include arranging and performing for the legendary late Christopher Lee’s heavy metal album and being appointed as K. K. Downing’s successor in the equally iconic Judas Priest, it’s safe to say you’ve got it, and Richie Faulkner’s got it in spades. This has landed him spots working alongside Lauren Harris and Voodoo Six, as well as numerous contributions as a guest star on other artists’ records. This is to say nothing of his voltaic supergroup project, Elegant Weapons, that includes Rainbow’s vocalist, Ronnie Romero; Accept’s drummer, Christopher Williams; and Uriah Heep’s, bassist Dave Rimmer. Put simply, Richie’s familiar with a vast tonal landscape, and we had to find out: what’s on his pedalboard? Dive in to find out!

  • @angusorvid8840
    @angusorvid8840 5 місяців тому +4

    The best tone I ever got was running dirt boxes like a Boss SD-1, Overdrive, Ibanez Tube Screamer, Rat or MXR through the front of a JMP I played in the 80s. I never liked most high gain amps. The JMP having one channel got dirty enough for me to push it in the right direction. It was a god-like tone. My Boogie had far more onboard gain, but never had the feel or the tone of the pushed Marshall. There's no reason not to keep a simple signal chain.

    • @larslevinberget9558
      @larslevinberget9558 5 місяців тому

      Yes...I had a 1979 JMP 2203 blue half stack and my stock ESP Horizon Custom the pickups were their own DiMarzio X2N type and Hot rails style, so I used a KORG Overdrive and split the signal via a KORG chorus just to be special :D stereo to an old JTM Plexi half stack or a brown Club and Country 212 ... that was 1988 - before the Peavey VTM stacks and racks

    Doug Aldrich and Ritchie should do something in the future. An instrumental guitar based record. Michael Schenker should have a signature based wah pedal.

    • @larslevinberget9558
      @larslevinberget9558 5 місяців тому

      Totally agree to both! If ONE man should have a signature CryBaby, that would be Schenker! Trouble is, that would be a re-labeling of the Crybaby Classic, which again is a reissue of the Italian JEN :D Just like, a Schenker amp would be a reissue of the 2205 that was meant as his signature head in the first place ;)

    Cool rig. Is Richie splitting the signal to get stereo JCM800 on one side and 59 on other, such that the distortion pedal is hitting both of them?

    • @larslevinberget9558
      @larslevinberget9558 5 місяців тому

      good question...I'd guess he splits the signal either by linking the 2203 amp from one of the low inputs (that will then be parallell outputs) on the 1959 head ... OR ... splitting via the stereo outputs on the chorus or Uni-vibe if there are any

  • @franciscofronza6838
    @franciscofronza6838 5 місяців тому +3

    How does he split the signal to run both amps? It’s crazy how the chorus sounds good running in front of the pre amp!

    • @AndersViting
      @AndersViting 5 місяців тому

      He doesn't appear to split it through a pedal, like a stereo chorus, from what I see. I think what we're hearing is two separate microphones, recording both amps and applying some sort of stereo effect on that console, behind the interviewer. On the other hand, he might use a splitter for the guitar to be played through two amps, but the pedals are plugged into only one of them. But that's just my assumption.
