Thanks Chris!! Have you seen Iconic Venues from Q TGL
Bc Theres some master footage from BA 1981, Paris 1979 and Hammy 1979
Dk if its new or not but theres a video on my channel!
@@mercurymastersI don't think that they're new footage as I saw them before the episode's release.
Nice compilation, though!
@ Thanks bro!
This is great. I'm always interested in knowing more and more about which pickup combinations Brian uses. Thanks for making this video.
I’ve always appreciated the way the two outside pickups out of phase effectively sound like an electric sitar, while the neck + middle out of phase almost sound like a banjo when you aren’t using any distortion or treble booster effects. There’s also that extra added warmth coming from the fact that this is a semi hollow guitar model.
OMG! Beautiful playing! Please make an hour version of this LOVE FROM GERMANY
What a wonderful instrument
Not only do you have a great sound, (sounds to me like you're also using the sixpence coin as well), but your "touch" on the strings with your fretting hand is just right as well. You def got a sub from me. Nicely done !!!
Thank you!
And yes, I’m using a Sixpence!
It'll be 4 AM in my time zone, so I'll still be asleep when this starts. 🥲
Absolutely fantastic demo! Great playing and great tone! I love that you put up guitar volume settings. Thank for a great presentation of this incredible guitar.
Crazy little thing called love sounded spot on! Well done Marco 🤘🎸
Another wonderful video! Big fan for 3 years of your channel!
Sounds great as always :)
What was the attenuation levels here? Please tell me you had them on! Or earplugs! Considering you can still hear the guitar acoustically, I'm guessing pretty low in volume?
🤣
Quite low for my standards…😂
You can hear the guitar because of the iPhone mic, it boost the guitar acoustically usually
So great this😊. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow this is amazing 😊. Thanks for sharing!!
outstanding!!!!
Really useful and informative, Marco! 🙌

Sounds great. Nice job😊
En Valencia-España son las 20:48 pm.
Os envío un cordial saludo a todos. 🙏🤘🎸
Many thanks For your videos!!! Great playing, Marco. Can you tell use about the tone knob?
Tone knob?
Is there one on my guitar?!
Joke aside…99% of the time is up full.
Amazing Sound👍🏻
Aggiungo che mi riferisco ai VOX a valvole. Posseggo già un Patchfinder 15 ( led modded) che però pecca, a mio avviso sui "puliti" alla Brian. Il Vox AC 30 attualmente non potrei sfruttarlo. Grazie ancora - Dario
now u only miss a phd in astrophysics
Idle question: on single-pickup settings, how much does the sound change, if you pick the strings at different distances from the active pickup? Especially with the neck one. Thank you.
It changes in comparable way to other guitars
Same thing as when using more than one pickups at the same time.
@@MarcoGDiMarco thank you, both for the video and the reply :)
Amazing
Marco, help me if you can! I understand that your Red Special, like Brian May's, has a variation in the volume knob that allows you to use the same Drive to use a clean sound, crunch and a lot of drive just by adjusting the volume, your guitar has a volume knob Special ? a specific button just for her? I ask this because in my Red Special, in order for me to get a cleaner sound, my volume has to be below 5%, it almost cuts the signal, and above that it has the same sound from 10% volume to 100%.
Turn up your amp volume knob. If it's a valve one, will work.
per un vox ac30 c2, su che canale normal mi consigli di collegare la chitarra per un suono alla brian may? il canale normal Low o high?
High
Espetaculares os stimbres dessa guitarra!
Have you ever played Carpinteri red special? If yes, how does it compare to the Ferrari one? Thank you for what you do! Keep Rocking!
I tried his older models (basic and extreme)…many of them.
Nice replicas, well made.
Never tried his newer models.
Brilliant.!!
Great as ever, thanks! Was looking for the volume settings...did you had the Boss with every part or just specific solo's?
Always on
Marco sei un grande, vorrei suonare anche io la signora Red special ciao
What pedals are you using Marco? Obviously a treble booster, are u using anything else like a chorus pedal or something?
Check the video description
Top demo on what these things can do my daughter and I are both lefthanded 😊 she has one I was just messing around with it pushing throw switches here and there and some of the tones below me away 😮 ps hope you were using a sixpence 😊
Yes, I’m using a Sixpence

Шикарный звук 🤘😎👍
Are we using attenuators here ? If so which ? 😎👌
Marshall Powerbrake
Perfect! Do you use all amp settings on max? Like the treble, mid and bass
There’s no EQ controls on AC30’s normal channel.
Just a volume.
Had you try rig with ac30 plugged into socket without grounding? Did it have more hum?
Never tried it as I don’t have hum problems.
Hi Marco, can i have a question? Where do you keep your tone knob?
99% of the time up full
Ciao. Vorrei prendermi un VOX per i brani dei Queen . Come giudichi gli altri ampli della VOX AC15 e AC 10 per il suono di Brian?
Grazie - Dario
AC15 altra pasta ma simile
@@MarcoGDiMarco Grazie Marco, anche perché ho giusto tra le mani un 'occasione sia per l'ac10 che per l'ac15 e volevo fare il salto su un ampli "vero". Avrei ancora una domanda. Nelle pedaliere di Brian e nemmeno nelle tue non vedo pedali di volume o altro per uscire dal mix nei soli. Mi sorge dunque la curiosità: è il fonico che ti segue durante il concerto o è solo la mancanza del cantato che fa emergere la chitarra ?
Alllriiiiighhhhttttt !!! wow that was good😆
Has Brian May ever reached out to you about your playing or your channel?
No…
I want it this thank but i want other song rs sound tone and i want to part ii
Come faccio a entrare
What brand or version of the red special do you have?
Handmade by Ferrari Guitars
Tanta roba
th-cam.com/video/DDkMOc3Ljo8/w-d-xo.html same noisy feedback picking as Wembley live ... What a wonderful player !
素晴らしい🎉
E andiamo
Cool
Quali pickup monta la Ferrari?
I Ferrari 😅
marco is there a b+m out of phase setting
Yes you can…but not used in a popular song (except for some little piece in Boh Rhap where Brian used every setting)
@MarcoGDiMarco if you don't mind, in one of ur videos can u demonstrate the b+m out of phase
Brian's mum never did find out what happened to her knitting needle...
Where did u get ur guitar
Handmade by Ferrari Guitars
Si vabbè... però ora ti passi il pomeriggio a scrivere anche la catena effetti usata per ciascun suono!!! 😛
Ciao marco ottimo medley eccellente, molto bravo come sempre , da fan dei Queen mi sapresti consigliare tra replica bmg natural brian may in torni ai 650€ con ponte wilkinson e bmg antique cerry con pick up burns tri sonic brian may a €750 , ne ho trovata una modificata che la fa via a €2000 in pratica è una bmg antique cerry modificata meccaniche autobloccanti in madre perla i pick up sono rimasti i brian may e il ponte sostituito con il ponte a rulli come l'originale , vale la pena e difficile da settare o meglio il wilkinson da settare quello che si trova sulle repliche bmg
Sicuramente il ponte originale è un buon upgrade al livello di feeling.
A patto che la conversione sia stata fatta a regola d’arte.
@@MarcoGDiMarco vai a vedere su mercatino musicale vedrai che ce una replica bmg modificata meccanica e ponte come l'originale la vende a €2300 ma arriva a €2000 può arrivare
Is that ToneX sounds?
Amplitube
Real gear
Vox pathfinder 10
It's written in the description of the video
Marco, where did you buy AC-30 BM version?
New in a music shop in Rome, back in the days…
Treble booster?
Fryer
@@MarcoGDiMarco Mayday?
@@kenzachow Touring
shit hot Marco
Play non Brian stuff so we can see how it holds up
Real thing >>>>> simulator
Sounds great. Does the thing hold perfect tune even with heavy trem use?
Yes
