When you said " The history behind it... " That orangey looking guitar ... I think that THAT is Mark Reynolds'original replica! And, Brian and Greg prefer the Dallas arbiter version of the AC 30; that is also the one that Greg based his mayday pedal on, which I have! IT IS SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT!!!!!!!!!! And, I also have, from the same mate of Mark's, a perfect replica of Brian's Foxx foot phaser, and a replica of the boss CE1, by way of the boss CE20! And about the delay, 800/1600 may be the"official" time settings, but 900/1800 is ACTUALLY BETTER! The AC15, as you have discovered, is actually NOWHERE CLOSE TO AN AC 30! And, as I've told you, I think, he removed every unnecessary tube from the amps, and only played through the normal channel, with ALL of the tone turned OFF, with the treble booster, And what I told you about his pickup wiring and configuration! The AC15 has a resonant frequency about an octave higher than the AC30, and pretty much sounds TERRIBLE!!!!!!!! And, you could get a BAG of sixpence on eBay for next to nothing! And, As I told you about the treble booster, the one I told you about is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to the SOUND! The Nigel Knight doesn't get it! It lacks the clarity! The bc149 gets amazing distortion all the way up, while MAINTAINING clarity of the individuals of chords, while with the guitar turned down, it gives you the sparkle! The booster you're using here makes everything sound MUDDY! Brian ALWAYS puts the booster right after the guitar! I don't think that the EQ's are very relevant... That is probably STUDIO STUFF! But, for THAT, you'd have to ask MARK! And come as far as him possibly using matchless... The people who started the company, who left vox, tried to tempt him with their DC30, with all of their bells and whistles, but he ABSOLUTELY DIDN'T LIKE IT! It just didn't sound right! I got this from a guy named Dan, who worked at guild, and was there when they made the original copy back in the '80s! He KNEW What he was talking about! And your tone was too harsh and brittle! I think you may have possibly ignored my directions about turning the tone OFF... ALWAYS... The basics for him are GUITAR, BOOSTER (BC149), AC 30 NORMAL CHANNEL, ALL TONE OFF! Jamie is good, but, again ... Mark Reynolds! Crucial to the restoration; has been to Brian's house, played his stuff, and Brian has played his replica! Brian knows him on sight, and, NO ONE that I know of is more reputable than he IS!!!!!!!!!! INCLUDING JAMIE! Mark played ALL of his guitars, including the old lady, and Greg's replicas, WAY BEFORE Andrew guyton, and played through the Deacy!!!!!!!!!! You SHOULD LISTEN TO ME! But... Overall... GOOD JOB! 😺😸 And, you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT use an SM57 on an AC 30! You need a big diaphragm mic, like the u87! If you use an SM 57, it will sound like treble, fizzy NOISE! I've experienced it live, and, you can absolutely TRUST ME on that!
Absolutely amazing. Lots of guitar wisdom too. Never thought of a turned down treble dial for May sound. Actually to me it's still a bit scary procedure the tone hunt. Thanks for all the insight. Puppy is a labrador i guess.... or not?
Thank you for the video. Very much appreciate everything you put into this. Yes, creating the brain may sound it's a very interesting topic is this? I can see why he needs some money EQ pedals it would be interesting to explore putting a phaser in series or parallel with a delay pedal or having two phaser pedals in series or parallel with each set up slightly differently from each other. Fractal FM 9 for example, you can put in two delay pedals in series or parallel and same with distortion, pedals and any other kind of pedal It's interesting how are things are moving? To be honest, I still think it's best to have A pedal board with signal pedals on there and also a multi effects processor board and you could have a Modular pedal board for your home studio not on the road The boss IR 2 is an interesting pedal for your home studio and also for the road thanks again and hopefully I'll pop back to this channel again sometime soon hopefully God bless
Richie Blackmore actually used an AC30 and Dallas rangemaster! And, he also actually had the Marshalls hollowed out, and put an AC 30 into them, because he LOVES THE SOUND, BUT thought that the Marshalls looked cooler! ... This is ALSO FACT! 😸😸😺
I have tried IK simulations and even the tonex 1 pedal...getting so tired of fiddling with the software anymore. (Tonex software is a disaster!). Glad I kept a few real amps over the decades and considering ading a real AC15 or 30, or a Dr. Z to have some extra tones in the house!

Raw tone better every time on the ac15.
