Kiko I'd love to translate this to Spanish, let me know if I can send them to you somehow. Thanks for the video 🤙
So simple but amazing, I kinda do the same, "Kinda" I run the Fractal Ax8 with in house right and left and run two Boss Katanas power amp in option on stage, Nice smooth tone, Your rig simple but amazing sounding, Like mine, lol, Guitar and amp Technology is so cool now a days. I love it!
Kiko how re you? do you mix mic from amp with the directo out of qCortex? by the way do you know if D M like this own song th-cam.com/video/hzLejQ8rA3E/w-d-xo.html . Sorry I try to understand Portugues but I cant!
We're living in a time where the guitarist of megadeth literally shares his exact tone settings to everybody. so nice
I don't know why nobody does that. If I were a member of a famous band, I would surely share my settings, show how to play specific riffs or even whole songs. It would only help me and my band. Now we have softwares to understand better each note, but when I was a beginner, I would give up trying to learn a song without available correct tabs.
I love the fact that hallowed be thy name is going on in the background in the start
I caught "Shoot Too Thrill" in there as well
@@TheBlindAndTheBeautiful yeah I heard that one too
Best part of the video 🌙🤘🏼!
Pareil j'ai reconnu direct 🎸🎼🤘iron maiden 👍
Demonetized!! :D
Kiko, you seem to have a natural ability to teach people. You always have a positive, encouraging approach in your videos. Definitely different for a guy that plays in a metal band, especially for a guitarist that shreds like you do. I’ve always liked Dave’s musical prowess, and I think everyone’s lucky that he chose you to be on board.
This means a lot coming from Chris Poland
What he said! Easy to see why Dave got you on and lomenzo too. I think this is the Megadeth the world needs!
Coming from you...
Dave is lucky to get these superstar players. Chris, Marty, and Kiko are the best of the best.
i love that dave recently talked about the tyranny against humanity ..... Awesome !!! we need more people awaken !!!! keep on rocking my friend !!!! we need a tout le monde awaken :)
Kiko, you are the best, I haven't seen a single guitarist of your caliber who is so transparent in sharing your approach. Folks can take your patches but can't touch your talent, you are the best teacher. So happy for you.
All the best for your upcoming tours.
Looking Forward to see you live.
This is so true!
Love that Maiden is playing in the background.. \m/ Up the Irons..
and AC/DC \m/
Legend! Thanks for the support. ❤️
Heard that Iron Maiden in the background, pretty cool seeing bands listen to other bands.
You are doing your own gig rundown! Excellent!!!!!!
Kiko. You have really brought new life and energy to Megadeth with these videos. It's not just grumpy Dave putting out albums hoping you could catch Megadeth in concert. It really helps reel us old fans back in. Great job.
Most humble man and transparency tech willing to show next generation whatever he have.. Down to earth man.. Precious man.. Long live kiko
The real magic of Kiko's sound is on his hands, he sounds amazing with all the different gear he has been using in different bands
The Neural guys are amazing people. While I'm long term using my Helix for stuff because it is integrated so well into my setup I had a lot of conversations with these guys during the process of the development of the Quad Cortex and specifically to try to make the eventual editor software more accessible for the blind. They gave it a shot and I think will keep trying at it off and on as it develops more. Great seeing you using a peace of gear like that on stage and giving these guys some very high profile love and exposure to new markets. Keep doing your thing brother
It's an incredible and critical job made by their staff. I hope they are always happy, at least during the show 😂
Watching Kiko (and Keaton) teaching us a lot of stuff about his "gadgets" while Hallowed Be Thy Name is playing on the background. Am I at heaven??? lol
What a great video!!
I love seeing the new technology in guitar modeling. Kiko seems like a real down to earth kind of guy, really love all of his videos.
Hahahaha that's the most professional explanation/ improvisation ever. Thank you Kiko, I'm really wondering to move to quad-cortex. See you in Indianola 🤘
All I know is, is that Iron Maiden is playing in the background. That alone kept me watching.
I like that, keeping it simple between patches. Man, I'm wanting one of these things now!
So awesome that you showed exactly what you were using with the QC and signal routing. Thank you!!
Thanks for the content Kiko!
Valeu pelo conteúdo Kiko, foda de mais conhecer os bastidores e quão difícil é o show business.
It makes me glad that I just got a multieffect pedal with amps and cabinets simulators and I thought of using the same old school concept of "having" one amp and cabinet, and just adding the different effects to the same one "amp and cab", and seeing Kiko, (one of childhood idols) doing it the same way. Obviously, I cannot compare myself to Kiko, but it makes me think I'm doing something right, if I'm doing the same thing he's doing.
I've fallen in love with the Neural DSP SLO-100, i literally sold all my gear and now that's all I use to play at home !
You guys sound really really good In this tour!!! The sound engineers really did you guys justice
Question: Since you've been using Quad Cortex on live shows, can we all expect Neural DSP Archetype: Kiko soon?
That would be nice...!
Seria melhor q a bola quadrada.
mano seria incrivel, eu vi que ele usa bastante o do nolly e algumas vezes o cali, mas slk um archetype do kiko eu compraria no dia do lançamento kkkkkkk
Kiko has been involved in QC since the beginning so he is just another piece of the youtube hype machine. I've had it and think the AxeFx is definitely a more complete MultiFX unit and better sounding but then again I dont really play metal.
@@EJH-jn6mo I know but Neural DSP officially confirmed about the Kiko's quad cortex use just few weeks back (that is if you follow their page). Archetype: Kiko is whole other concept in relevance of what I've said because we fans patiently wait for its arrival from the maestro himself.
Thanks for showing that. Your the man. You were playing a rad gibson les paul in Boston witch was a sick show. They should definitely give you a signature one.
Kiko is a superb ambassador for Brand Megadeth.
A down-to-earth musician who understands that without fans a band is nothing.
And of Brazil as well
Today I understood what "Neural DSP Quad Cortex" does.
this is the future of live shows I bet. every sound guy will be well versed in modeling if they aren't all ready. great stuff.
i like listening to this technical jargon, but im glad i just hit stuff with sticks 😃
The first time I heard of the Quad Cortex was when I heard that Kiko was using one. That's enough of an endorsement for me. I came here assuming he'd be using a bespoke capture. The fact that it's just one of the stock amp models is amazing. Can't wait to get a QC and try out his patches!
Youre my favorite youtuber hands down. Thank you for putting in the time to share this kind of stuff with everyone!
Kiko, first of all you are a role model to me. I really appreciate everything you do, music and on TH-cam. Second, I have a question. Since you don’t use an axe fx anymore, would you be willing to share your old patches. I’m hoping they will magically help me play partially as good as you.
Tech guy: "yeah we use the X54 quad dynamic in out splitter slaved to the XV69QDX preamp modulated by the MT34DCX Valvatron amp head in stereo".
Kiko: "I'm using the black guitar".
😉
Love the channel bro. ❤
No shade to Kiko, but it's funny when you get to a certain level your job just becomes performing and all the details, your effects even your volume is controlled off stage by a dedicated person :) We should all be so lucky as to have our own guitar tech :P
Just forums your TH-cam channel….. this is incredible! Your so inspiring! I’m 50 and just started to play guitar.
The Kiko preset in the Petrucci DSP plugin is my go-to. So, I have a feeling the quad cortex will easily suit all my needs.
Its astonishing to see how close amp/effect simulations are now to the real tube amps, minus the headache of maintaining them.
I'm on the list to get the QC, and I'm pumped and blown away that I can just download your touring rig.
Interesting to see the QC on a gig like this! Convenience has it's advantages! I'm sure the crew likes working with it. Nice of Kiko to show us his setup! I always enjoy seeing stuff like this! ( The show.... behind the show! )
I saw you in Michigan the other day. I was surprised to see you playing a Les Paul. I like your the looks of your green Ibanez better, but by far the Les Paul cut through the mix the best. Great playing and great show!
What power amp are you using for your on stage cabs?
The best part of this video Is hallowed be thy name on background! Just kidding... Nice job!
This is so cool of you Kiko. It’s great for the fans to be able to connect. I’m so glad that Dave brought you in to Megadeth. It’s also exposed your music to so many people that otherwise would not have heard it.
It looks like you guys are running like a well oiled machine. So professional and engaging to the fans. And everyone exercising and no one abusing drugs or alcohol. The new music is as good as ever. Keep it up!
Confesso que ficaria muito perdido sem nada pra pisar e controlar a guitarra no palco, mas deve ser muito cômodo se preocupar somente tocar e não ter que se preocupar com os efeitos durante o show.
Mas claro né, a estrutura de show do megadeth não tem nem como ser comparada com as gigs aqui do brasil kkkkkkk
Problema é que a banda inteira agora tem q tocar no click
Hell yeah, I didn’t know he was using a QC for that tour. Great show in Tucson, AZ in April 21.
Kiko powerful sound, man. After the QC, what power amp are you using to drive your real cabinet?
I was just about to ask the same thing until I seen your comment.. did we miss something? Kinda important part of the rig
I’m also wondering the same thing. I doubt they’re solid state since they’ll over power a 300 watt cab. My guess would be Mesa-Simul 2:Ninety or VHT/Fryette 2902. Just a guess. Hopefully someone chimes in that knows.
@@danrao3707 many people are using solid state amps simply for headroom. They aren’t cranking it and sending 700w to the cab. Remember. Fender needs 200w to simulate a 40w tube amp. Basically 4x as much power. 700w amps do 350 into an 8 ohm cab which is a bit less than 4x 100w.
I really pray Kiko never stops vlogging. Please just wait until I become a guitar virtuoso like you, then you can stop uploading lol
Even though I’m not a Megadeath fan or a Non tubed guy or Ibanez guy. I love this Kikos videos and can’t stop watching them. Must be his talent and humble approach to the guitar.
Check out Studio Rats. He’s a session guy. He sets up that quad and shows you how simple it is. And it sounds great. I just saw this I know it’s a yr late.
band have been using this type of system for decades. Nothing new but still cool to see.
Kiko.. thx for taking time and sharing this walk thru of your components system.. technology is magic.. you are awesome
It was crazy to find out that the tone switches are automated as soon as the song starts, that's awesome
Hey Kiko! Thanks for posting this type of content, it's fascinating to see behind the scenes and learn about your gear and to feel involved in your tour. Great job with all of those incredible solos and best of luck for the tour!
Kiko, you are one of the nicest people in the rock/metal world. You seem sincere in every video you post taking us across the world with mighty Megadeth! Your guitar playing is beyond words. Thank you and God Bless. We all look forward to your next videos!
Lovin maiden in the background 😁😛
Was at the Detroit show on 9/19. You guys kicked ass. The band sounded great as usual.
I can't imagine not being in control of your
own sound. It sounds like his guitar tech is
in total control of that. I like the sound I heard
him getting when he was playing back-stage
through the Quad Cortex in another video.
He mentions the switching is done using timecodes.
That's a real testament to the QC that you trust it that much. Even sending the sound straight out to FOH.
Kiko, for you, what's the hardest solo you have composed for megadeth? Maybe play it for us! Thank you for the inspiration!
You seem like a cool dude. Enjoy the video for sure..
I be up late at night watching these! 💯🤘🏽
Kiko I love your Vids! so informative & cool!! Ty
Technician be like: "Hey bro, let me go already, will ya?"
Em breve ninguém mais usará pedais ou amps. O valor de uma boa coleção de pedais e um bom amp, paga um equipamento desses que sintetiza tudo, mais fácil de transportar e montar/desmontar.
É incrível onde a tecnologia nos leva.
Exatamente. Infelizmente muitos ainda torcem o nariz para as novidades tecnológicas, mas vendo as grandes bandas aderindo esses equipamentos mostra o quanto vale a pena testar e se modernizar.
I’ve learned so much from you Kiko, you’re a great teacher and explainer. Thanks for doing these videos!
GREAT show in Boston! The sound sound quality was AMAZING! I've seen Megadeth twice and Kiko fits better than sliced bread! KEEP ON ROCKIN' DUDE! \m/
Man that's the way to do it, it's a little bit to learn but once it's going it's the best around.
I love how they ran things in the old days but this feels better for the whole band with the least amount of mistakes 🔥🤘💯
Kiko , algún día harás un Q&A en español ?? Eso sería fantástico !! Saludos Master Kiko !! 🎸🔥😎
Love the Iron Maiden in background
Great rundown from a great musician.
Saw you on Sept 18th and Holy Smoke I was blown away!!!! Best show in years. Looked like Dave was having tech issues but still killed it🤙🇺🇸🙏
UP THE IRONS!!!
On the neural app it seems the amp sims he uses almost all the time are Friedman amp sims. Good choice.
Great to have the idea of what is going backstage ..Love the sound issues..
Quad Cortex rules!
Hi Kiko!! Is the Quad going directly to the cabs (powered cabs) of are they going to a power amp first and then to regular cabs?
wondering the same thing, running to house is fine, but im real curious how he's powering those cabs onstage.
É só escutar com um bom fone esses shows recentes do Megadeth que se comprova todo esse profissionalismo ,som matador 👏👏👏👏
Meu Deus! Esse vídeo foi muito esclarecedor!
Sempre me perguntei como os efeitos nos pedais eram controlados sem os pedais nos palcos. Agora tudo faz sentido
I didn’t think you would ever play a Les Paul, Kiko. What kind are you playing exactly? Is it a newer model or vintage? All the best on your tour!
It looked like a les Paul modern
NEURAL QUAD CORTEX is the game changer without a doubt.
I guess the tech does all the preset / stomp switching! I wonder what Dave uses?
actually it's all automated by time code he just said using a program called digital performer that is initiated at the start of each song. i presume the drummer uses a click track and all the patch changes occur at precisely the right time throughout any given song. i also assume that dave would have to have a similar type of setup. you can't have a bunch of dudes stomping pedals backstage the whole show, but that would be funny though seeing a few guys jumping around doing that.
although the tech did say that he makes some changes on the fly when necessary.
@@nicebluejay Dave used Axe Fxs on previous tours, I guess he hasn't changed that
@@nicebluejay metallica still do that.
Saw them in Holmdel NJ and the sound was incredible, tech guys know how to do their jobs for sure
Its amazing how far technology has come since the days of the Korg G3.
I was hoping to hear them talk about the amp/cab setup for the stage. i.e. solid state or tube amp(s)? and what speakers are in the cabs?
They just use the quad cortex for everything. One signal with cab sim goes to front of house and in ears and one signal without cab sim goes to the on stage cabs. Look at: 6:08
I used to be a pretty big tube amp snob, but their tone is actually killer from what I have heard. Now I am rethinking everting. :P
The QC doesn’t provide power to cabs. He still has to use something to power the cabinets. That is the question…what power amp is being used on stage.
I hadn't looked at it that way. I was more thinking of tone not of power. You are right. I would expect solid state amps then because they need less maintenance and weigh less. Any tone you want is already coming from the QC.
@@IrLosin here's the thing: I know pretty much about modeling. I have Axe-Fx III and I use powered FRFR cabs for my stage sound. so if Kiko has two 4x12s on stage they have to by powered by something. tube or solid state? which brand? those are my questions. Metallica does something similar. they all use the Axe-Fx but they like a 4x12 cab on stage. so they send a signal out of the Axe-Fx without a cab IR and they use the Matrix solid state amps to push those cabs.
Por trás de uma grande banda tem sempre uma grande equipe.
Really enjoying these behind the scenes videos, seeing the tech and the very talented crew. Cheers Kiko!
Caralho, viver isso é um sonho! Obrigado, Kiko, por ser inspiração...!!
I need that Megadeth go to Puerto Rico 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice! Doesn't seem to complicated, and it also sounds great which is the most important factor after all. Looks like it makes the job of the tech much easier too, since the program/patch/scene changes are done via midi instead of him having to punch the knobs/buttons for every change in sound.
Thanx, really interesting overview. Really appreciate your videos.
I love that you’ll walking us through the rockstar life
Thanks for your explanation. I had download your presets for live in my Quad Cortex. It’s amazing.
love hearing Iron Maiden on the background :)
Wish I could see you guys in Missouri this year. never been to a Megadeth concert and you guys are on my bucket list bands to see. Best of luck to you guys on the tour. What would be a good basic guitar setup for a beginner? Enjoy the show everyone that gets to see them this year.
"Hollowed be thy name" on the BG
Thanks for this! Also many thanks for putting all the patches online, that's awesome!
Kiko your awesome brother. Happy you are in one of my favorite bands. Congrats man👍🤘
Yeah, the wall of 4x12 cabs on-stage is always just for show. They are not all active. Empty shells are easier to move around!
Another video of Kiko and Iron Maiden playing in the background, what more could you ask for 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Best sound on the beginning
Hallowed be thy name ❤️
Also hell yeah~! thanks for the Maiden and AC/DC in the background :D
Just went to this show. Awesome.
