This is absolutely GLORIOUS. Solid choices as well.
Tricerachorus has dedicated detune section that can do the +/- stereo microshift thing on top of tri-chorus so it's a great "instant 80's" box.
Thanks Leon! Yeah that Tricerachorus is a solid box.
Too bad he didn't want to buy those rack units 😂. I saw a YT video by a guy from down under who did the same thing with rack gear. That was GLORIOUS. But I can't quite remember if he already has the Eventide.
Recently I was looking for the Eclipse, but even those are pretty expensive. But I found a GSP2101 with the expansion board for a low price. Should arrive on monday. In contrast to the “purple monster”, you have the ability to route everything manually, so you can do parallel inside of the unit. Have to see if it's good enough for an authentic 80's tone. Tried it on the GSP1101, but although you can do parallel, you don't have enough options to shape the sounds of the reverb and delay 😢.
I believe Preset number 1 on the Tricerachorus is Leon's fabulous work?
This may be the greatest, most informative guitar pedal video I've ever watched. I LOVE this tone, and you nailed replicating it, RJ. Many thanks!
If you liked this one, you should definitely watch the one by Vertex Effects on this subject.
@@johanneschristopherstahle3395 Thanks. I'll check it out.
This may be one of my favorite episodes of any show ever. 80’s rack tones, RJs sweet playing, and the mentioning of my favorite guitarist, Dann Huff (such a legendary player). Will be watching this often and working on my own 80’s pedalboard now. Sorry babe !😅
Dan and Mick would be in ecstasy over this board!
maaaaan, by the end and you flipped on the Distortion with Tricerachorus, that was the extravaganza , the cherry on the cake as we say ! so lush
These are my favorite tones. I actually have a huge Bradshaw rack unit with a 2290 and Lexicon racks and all that for my Floyd act - but it’s so big that it mostly stays in storage when I’m not on tour. This pedalboard solution seems much more useable!
I never get tired of that 80's Tri-Chorus/rack tone. It's as pleasing to me as a Fender Rhodes . . . great job with this. Check out the Red Seven Lil Wave Tri Chorus or the Free the Tone Tri Avatar = both incredible for this. oNe LovE from NYC
Completely nails that 80s tone and aesthetic. Very nice job!
I'm supposed to be working on my home gym setup but I find this fascinating and now all my productivity has ground to a halt. I love this guitar sound.
RJ: This is an amazingly informative video that doesn’t feel like I’m being sold something. TH-cam needs more of this and not a straight up product ad. Thank you.
Great video. Keep the 80’s session stuff coming!
This was absolutely awesome. I just re-lived the 80's
I enjoyed this. The tones here are where my ears set. I love it. I heard so so many songs in you just going through the pedals and demoing them. Blessings to you.
This is the most descriptive and informative video on the classic rack setups I’ve seen.
This is a great board build. One of the more interesting I've ever seen! Thanks for showcasing and sharing. The pitch detune in tandem with the tri-chorus makes for THE sound. Great video!
Brilliant demo, your translation of the BB rigs and diagrams into an actual pedalboard that is accessible to working guitarists is a stroke of genius. And the real revelation for me was using the EQ pedal 'trick' after the compressor to put frequencies back that can get hollowed out. Will be getting an Equator to fix this potential issue.
Great video RJ-you have unlocked the 80's studio-sound mystery. I could have used it 40 years ago, but I guess now will have to do. Thx.
Bringing back the 80’s! 💪 Nice job RJ!
Brilliant, thank you for sharing this and for unlocking the sounds I've spent too many years looking for.
Wow this was incredible RJ thank you
Boss PS-6 Harmonist pedal does stereo detune. You can even (split the signal before and) turn balance knob 100% wet to create wet/dry/wet!
Crazy good. Love the Two Notes Opus in the chain.. I can't get enough of it.
Very nice RJ !! The 80's tone is so lush and tasty. I've set up a few different 80's sounds on my rig and love them. It's a must to have it stereo too !! Cheers bro.
This is AWESOME!!! I've been building my own Bradshaw "pedalboard rig" for a year now so this is epic to see!!!
Thanks for this, R.J.! I've been waiting for this ever since you did the plugin version. Despite seeing that diagram before, putting the delay(s) after the reverb/wetter box never occurred to me. Very cool! Also, as you said, the great thing about the Tricerachorus is that it does the Tri-Chorus thing AND the detune thing, and you can dial in amounts for both. Saved me some real estate on my 80's-inspired board.
Best clean tone ever cuts so well thru a mix 🙌🏽
Awesome as Always!
That was awesome!! Thank you R.J.!!
Perfect!! Love to watch these kinds of videos
Much Needed!!! Amazing Job Mr. Ronquillo 😮💨
Dude, Keeley's Dyno My Roto is the ultimate 3D mono chorus and it's perfect for the dyno Rhodes sound, as well as Cyndi Lauper, Crowded House, etc. (it also does a very nice Leslie and something called Rotoflange) Betwixt that and the TC SCF Gold+ I have mono and stereo '80s chorus and flange sounds covered. (the analog TC Gold also does pitch modulation) My '80s compressor is a vintage TC Sustain+Para EQ. The EQ is one band, but it's the right one. I generally run the pitch, chorus and delay FX after the cabsim, as though I were miking the amp in a studio and using rack effects on a line level signal. Speaking of delays, my TC Nova Repeater does the stuff you'd get from a TC 2290; the hi and lo inputs mean it can handle instrument or line level signals. A Flamma cab offers stereo cab sim and a Korg SDD 3000 delay does the U2-type stereo stuff that requires stereo/dual mono I/O, or if I'm going for a more rhythmic delay thing, more Gilmour than the Edge, a Vox Delaylab.
What a glorious tone!!
Great stuff, RJ. Fun project. 80's. racks were so cool.
Awesome video. These tones are amazing. I’ve always been obsessed with them.
Killer tones ❤ great work
Very cool board my friend!! I've been debating building a board just like this!! Cheers RJ!!
Great video! Nice one RJ! 👍
The DIG is my favorite delay pedal.
This board is insane. I still have a Digitech multi effects rack I inherited from a friend who stopped playing in the 90s. I'll have to try it out again.
Love this. I’ve been trying to get something similar to this myself. Thanks for all the ideas.
Having grown up as a musician in the 80's, it's fun to see people now strive for tones that were pretty standard back then (standard AWESOMENESS, mind you, but that sound was everywhere). I still have my "refrigerator" rack, but now it holds outboard gear in my studio. Players today can get these tones with far less back injuries than we sustained, luckily for them!
sounds fanstastic. Well done.
Thank you for this video. Very helpful and entertaining.
Great video and go Dan at Gig Rig for the Wetter box. He's a great tech and a great guitarist.
I can literally feel the 80s
Outrageous. Outstanding Off the chart. Thank you RJ. Love this. J
This is great!
Wow your video is amazing and I am so glad that I found your channel so much information and inspiration
Nice board!! your playing is awsome RJ!!
Nice. That was a lot to replicate 80's tone. I was wondering why I couldn't replicate it with a single chorus pedal.
In the 80s I used to have alot of pedals. I still do, but I used to too.
Lol
Okay, Mitch.
I am here because of the fender ad on TikTok. Glad I found you RJ.
The sound of my teenage years 😍 Thank you!
Awesome vid Awesome guitar ❤❤❤
That chorus sounds amazing.
Awesome RJ! I did really like the Adm setting on the delay unit--sounded really robust to my ears. You have inspired me to build a similar preset into my Neural Quad Cortex-thankfully it has the Boss Waza Dimension C in it!
Good job. This is a good template for my ears. It’s the sounds l do love.
@rjronquillo full disclosure I'm a 63 yr old punk blues guy that back in that area I hated the chorus rack sound. As I have aged and dived back into songs that were not in my wheelhouse I have become a fan of your explorations into those 80's hits sounds. Damn it man!!!! Now I'm a 80's chorus fan and it is amazing. Thanks for being a true historian and opening up my ears.
you are the man!🙏🙏
Great stuff!
Very cool deep dive!
Ever since you posted your original video using the UAD virtual effects rig, I have gone all-in building the real deal. Almost $10k in retrospect, this pedal based solution is probably the way to go. Awesome knowledge, thanks for sharing.
Very cool! Nice work! Great to see you actually having a clean tone vs the light crunch you normally call “clean’! Next thing I think would be cool would be doing the classic 80s and 90s Nashville sound in a board!
I love this so much. So when are you releasing an 80's tone driven album that I can listen to on repeat to make my wife question my sanity?
Great video, R.J.
That's super close to the real thing! Unfortunately the audio is clipping at the end on the lead part...but the tone is right there!
Great Job Man Thankyou ❤❤❤
Great Job!
Decades ago, when I was a really ignorant young lad, I just loved these sounds. Ironically, and accurately, though I knew absolutely nothing about gear back then, I somehow knew instinctively that these sounds could only be possible with a ton of quality gear. So I came to call these kinds of tones the "really expensive" sounds. XD Guess I was right after all. Nice part is that, decades later, yes, you can mimic these sounds like RJ has, but you can also come reasonably close with some patient tweaking in many modern mfx units like Helix, GT1000, etc, etc, etc...
GREAT VID RJ! Happy 2024 to you and yours....
Boss is good I like Boss electronics, but damn Eventide makes some kickass effects, that chorus is over the top. If I recall Vai's Passion and Warfare album was done with Eventide Processors.
Fantastic!
Love the GC-2 ❤ between drive and delay effects
And the EQuator is a nice redux of the Boss PQ-4 Bass Para Eq
Nice Tyler 👍👍 Hands down the best guitar I've ever played. I do have one of their basses and it's just as fabulous.
Hay RJ!! Greetings from the big D!! This is great stuff!! The sound of our childhood!!!! I might add that the BBE Sonic Maximizer (rack version) was also a big deal back then (to add back the post compression lost frequencies). Best to you!
Great tones! RJ I would love to see you build this with the new TC 2290 pedal or Boss SDE 3000 pedal.
Love this RJ, thank you for your hard work - sounds great! Where's my Members Only jacket? :) )
I had mates with a fridge worth of rack gear...
And wondered why they're tone sounded like a fridge!!
Great video btw mate.
Grandissimi suoni, bellissimi veramente. ❤🎸🤟🏻
Rack systems are always so rad
GLORIOUS !!
After seeing you mention the Dimension C/SDD-320, I went down a rabbit hole to see what songs used it, and saw that someone posted Cocteau Twin's Cherry Coloured Funk. After thinking about it, the Dimension C with some lush, ambient reverb is basically the entire sound of the Cocteau Twins. I think that's a good reference for the sound.
Robin Guthrie at some point came to prefer Lexicon racks for Micropitch (at +/-10 cents). He also preferred stacked delays to reverbs, although he may have made exceptions for 2000s collabs with Harold Budd.
I would not be surprised if he did use the Dimension rack at some point, the above is just what I’ve seen him mention on forums.
Very cool that was fun...
Very superb
That was just good clean fun 😊
Eventide with wetter is so Purple Rain, love it.
I can’t help but think the TC 2290p should be part of this.
Also, that there is a whole lot of cabinet simulation redundancy between the Opus and Cab Zeus.
The scope and scale of the project however, is remarkable, and produced a magnificent result!
Thanks for the shout out RJ! Sounds great! The MVP here on those diagrams is Kjetil Nesheim (Kan Lyd) in Norway. He provided those to me, but I’m sure he’d love the idea of more folks understanding this signal path by way of your rig build and breakdown! Well done!
Thanks buddy and thanks to Kjetil! Which rig shall we mirror next?! lol
@@RJRonquillo The Edge.
the Tri softens the attack to my ears
It's not lost on me that even your guitar strap is from back in the day. I bought these for all my guitars after our drummer dropped my guitar player's strat on the parking lot while taking a break from band practice.
I have the Ventris pedal....love that thing
Regarding the Dimension C, one of the frequent uses of the old rack version was combining multiple buttons. The Waza version allows that in the SDD mode. Steve Stevens popularized that one. I think he ran buttons 2&4 or 3&4, if I recall. So multiple dimensions. 😎🎶 Great video man!
The best sounds the best Music is from the 70's and 80's NO DOUBT about it. It's time to return to these IMMORTAL TIMELESS sounds.
@ WETTERBOX: really good sounds and ideas in this video! I also own a Wetterbox and found the happy accident that two 100% wet signals sound so good mixed togehter interesting.
The Wetterbox does not transmit a dry signal to the outputs if both send/returns are connected.
Only a "Electro Harmonix Switchblade Pro", or the "GFI System Duophony Parallel Blender", for example, offers that.
Cool.
here for the guitar content but nice choice with the Orient diver watch!
I really love the video and the pedalboard 80s sound because pedals are so cool but i think you should use your PT 100 amp just to make it more real. Playin is awesome as allways!
Love your haircut
Beautiful clean f see sound. Which of my 6 drive pedals coukd I take off the board to facilitate 🤔🤔
Im saving this and watching it later for tips for my board 😂
Have you tried the sinvertek no5 drive ?
I am now a chorus enjoyer thanks kuya RJ!
As you said …”nice!” 😀👍
