Glad you all like the video. Took months to order and receive the pedals needed (had to get the same models as what's in the booklet) and some showed up broken so I had to return and get new ones. They wanted around $900 for the vibrato so I just went with the Waza version which is still cool, just not vintage. Everything else is to spec though. Thanks again for watching.
That was my #1 thought on this video: did he just happen to still have all those pedals?!
It was worth the wait, loved the video!
That's dedication I would have just done them in the katana software
One of your best videos imo
Right call on that vibrato pedal lol. Vintage schmintage.
For Beat it, the rhythm was Steve Lukather. I think Boss was solely speaking about the lead in Beat It because that was the only thing Eddie played on the song.
I was just about to say I thought that the rhythm was Steve .
Paul Jackson Jr and Lukather. Jackson came up with the riff we all know Beat It for.
If I remember correctly, Eddie only did the guitar solo in Beat It, and Steve Lukather did the rhythm guitar.
You're right‼️✅‼️☑‼️
EVH was always throwing people off his tone, there was a comic strip that shows using the HM-2 direct into the console. Yeah sure he did lol!
@@quantumbuddhist correct, Paul Jackson Jr. was the other guitarist on Beat It (and the rest of Thriller)
This is a true statement.
I did get the new video alert
Haha. Thank you for letting me know.
Same
Got it too😅🚨🔊💻🔊🚨😅
I think the Beat-it guide was intended for the Van Halen lead part only. The rhythm parts are not very distorted. They were played by Steve Lukather on a small Fender combo with the instruction: "don't turn it all the way up!".
I think that there's something worth remembering here. Back in the days of this booklet, "tone-chasing" wasn't the accurate thing we're all used to now. You kind of got most of the way there and you were pleased enough with the results.
Kit was so expensive prior to VST's and DAW's etc you just had to work within a realistic budget and get what you got. Compared to what had been before, our ears were quite pleased with the results.
As a Boss fan boy, I quite enjoyed this video.
I learned how to tap by watching Michael Sembelo play "Maniac" on an episode of the show "Solid Gold". Man, I'm old.
I'll see your "old" and raise you! This November, I'll be 59 😲🤣
I seriously can't believe Guitar Center took away the Boss pedal display. That was the most fun part of the whole store. You should hear the end of Every Breath You Take from the live version from 2008 - Certifiable. He is using about as much distortion Metallica and it actually sounds awesome.
The display is in every store practically
Great video! I wish I still had those little BOSS booklets. I think the later booklets had guitarists like Yngwie (HM pedal/EQ/Compressor/Sus/Delay) and Prince (OD/Chorus/Delay/Octave). Those booklets started my love for stomp boxes. You nailed the "Maniac" solo. Please do a part two.
That Schon lead sounds awesome!
This version of the book must have come out right when the Heavy metal pedal was released. They're using it for all of them, and it sounds like none of them.
I didn't realize these are rare, I have a couple of them.
I've been getting more into Boss pedals. I kind of turned up my nose at them in favor of more boutique stuff. But a lot of these Boss pedals just have a classic sound. We've heard so many of them on countless records. And the nice thing is, a lot of them are really cheap even if you buy the vintage versions.
Very cool! I have the same booklet, and have tried the settings in the past, but didn’t have all of the pedals. Nice to see (and hear) how it should’ve sounded. 😎
This is such a helpful thing for new guitarist that are confused by all the different types of pedals available, which builds brand loyalty. Simply a brilliant sales trick
EVH did the lead for Beat It for free and when the record company found out they called Eddie and basically said “Dont F*cking do that!” 😂
Iirc didn't he do it for a 6 pack of beers? Lol
Man I just want to say thank you, I've been a supporter long before TH-cam. I bought aeon sky by sanctus back in like 02 and it was wonderful!! Not to mention how awesome it was for me to see someone from America of Asian ancestry playing black metal or symphonic bm, never was sure how to label you guys!! Not to mention how awesome it was for me to see someone from America of Asian ancestry playing black metal even though I'm a white dude from Alabama it inspired me so, thank you and obviously I'm still a fan!! I watched this channel for 4 years before I realized who you were. It made my day so thank you.
You definitely make the coolest guitar content on TH-cam. Thank you for all the hard work and creativity, and for educating us all.
Some interesting stuff going on with these pedals. Always been a Boss pedal fan, sounded awesome on most of the tunes. Thanks!
This is golden!!! I will be watching this over and over and working through it!!!
Always fun to hang out and watch your vids!!! 👍🏻
Eddie was rumored to have used a modified Hartley Thompson solid state amp that he borrowed from Alan Holdsworth to record the Beat It solo.
Sorry about the BOSS sponsorship comment lol... I was just breaking your chops.
Let me tell you, I was once trying to chase the sound of Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days" and this video sort of reawakened that dream
Breaking chops? Perhaps you meant "busting" of said chops?
Another informative video, from a great teacher! Thanks Mike
They're always fun to watch
Wow this just showed up in my main feed, even if I didn’t get a notification. Did you like talk to TH-cam?
Glad it it came into my main feed because it’s a really cool vid. Would have sucked if I missed it. You should do more like it if you can find more vintage guides with chains for any company.
Damm im really considering getting the compressor sustainer after watching this video
Me too, my Strat has a hard time keeping sustain at a lower volume
@@rondomartin7786 you can get the Behringer copy for less than $30
Great clip…love that Jackson. Thanks for the demo!
great playthrough, very informative
I remember reading Michael Sembello used a very thin pick for the solo. One of the guitar mags back then had an article on it.
Loved this video Mike
Now you can sound like Trevor "Ravin" :) Seriously, booklet typos aside, a fun video. Definitely sounds like Schon's lead tone, and the "Owner" intro sounds spot on. Good call on the Police: that was too much distortion initially.
Love the Linnea Quigley workout shirt! 😊
Love this! They all sound super awesome! One thing I know for sure after watching this, my desire to own some pedals has increased at least ten fold haha 😂
Really interesting video; I have a lot of BOSS pedals and really like their build quality and modularity, or how they can be used together for different sounds. Great playing as well!
That’s every stomp pedal
Great video idea and good work on it!
Remember going online and listening to all the demos of distortion
Great video. Love the Boss CS2. The Strat sounds great!
Loved this. Great idea thanks Mike
Great video! Thanks for this info
I’d love to see more of this series. Guitar magazine used to put those in with some of their tabs.
I remember some magazines had generic pedals with settings to get the tones of the tabs that were featured…of course I was always missing 1 or 2 pedals so I ended up with a half ass tone…ahh, memories 👍
Wow.i remember that book. We used to drool over it . HM-2 was my first pedal. Fun video
It's so funny that you still have all this stuff. Like, I've had a bunch of similar stuff, but I've also had the good grace to lose it, like a normal guitar player.
Swap the HM for a DS-1 and you should have the early 80s Neal Schon sound.
Crazy cray cray. I used to, or still have that same Boss booklet. Gonna have to check my 89 Stat case.
what a fun video!!!
loved it!!! yes, the last one by far the closest and more fun to play.
Holy cow. Blast from the past! I used to have that booklet back in the late 80s.
I definitely agree about only using the delay for the solo. It would get buried and muddy in the mix on the rhythm parts. Fun video. Really goid idea!
Can’t wait till you get to the Boss Harmonizer ! 🎸
Great video! I also have the same boss booklet now all I need is the same talent!
This video makes me want to buy a Boss Compression Sustainer. 😎😎
A very most excellent video. I love the 80s sounds as well and purchased a vintage rack similar to the one played by Steve Lukather that comes with all these awesome 80s presets they’re still pretty affordable if you can find them
I was also fascinated way back, when i got to play in Oman way back in '92. There was a lot of Boss booklets that feautured different pedals (distortion, overdrives, delays etc...) and also had setting examples for different songs, like the ones Mike mentioned. I really related to this video, drooling for these Boss pedals. (Still do lol). Cheers!
The world of effects and pedalboards is fascinating and fun!
Thank you Mike. That was pretty cool.
You should do a series of tab videos for songs so people can learn them. I’ve always had a hard time finding anything other than popular Metallica songs so It’d be nice to be able to properly learn a lot more stuff from someone like u
ultimate guitar has tabs for almost any song you can think of, the only problem is they are user generated so they might not be as accurate as official tabs. but any songs you can think of will have tabs
Hit or miss, either way it was a lot of fun -make a series like this!
This is cool! Nice job.
I remember having that booklet in the day and being a big YES fan, had a chuckle that they misspelled Trevor Rabin's surname!
Schon used Peavey Mace amps early on, and many people don't know he used a Roland Cube and a pedal for the Dont Stop Belev'in solo.
GREAT JOB!!! AAND GREAT CONTENT!!!
Not only was this fun to watch, but I’ve gone my whole life without understanding what a compression pedal REALLY does. I get it completely now! Gonna have to add one to the already oversized arsenal.
Very cool video for us Dads. Thank you.
Love these tones
How about a tour of your pedal collection, where you talk a little about each pedal, or talk about the ones you kept versus sold?
Hey could you do a vid about you guitar collection? Keep like this man💪🏻
Trevor Rabin’s chain is something more reminiscent of his live rig, the studio recording was much more dry than that, just a DS-1 into two already cranked 2203’s, and a CE-2 and a compressor on the clean parts. Reverb was added in post
Wow, I had no idea these booklets existed. Thanks for posting this. Interesting that the spelled Trevor Rabin's name wrong. "Ravin" at 4.54
Mike sir, just wanted to tell you about a new discovery I made if you are a connoisseur of chorus pedals (pedalii?)I've been using one called a Rocktron Tsunami I bought 20 years ago - it was the best I ever heard - totally smooth. They don't make it anymore but I tried out this one by a brand I never heard before called NUX - it's a vintage analog chorus and its lavender colored with 3 knobs and I couldn't believe how awesome it sounded and it's only $59. I put it through the effects loop on a 5150 combo and I couldn't believe it. It was unreal in my opinion - totally blew away some chorus pedals they had that were $200. The thickness and smoothness was amazing. I thought it smoked other analog chorus's like the MXR and Boss.
Killer Linnea Quigley shirt !!! She's my fave!! Such a cool person to meet! Cool vid too!
Thanks guy at guitar center back in the day!
Great video, very entertaining 😊
I still have that booklet, stems from the 80's. I didn't have half of the pedals though, so never had the chance to try it out. Finally got my answer, nice vid!
I had that booklet!!
Cheers from just south of MPLS!
Awesome stuff. I built a pretty damn close approximation to Andy Summers’ rig after many years of trying. It’s a dyna comp, into some kind of mellow overdrive, into an electric mistress into an echoplex delay. For a bit of flash I sometimes use a Qtron (Andy had a Mutron)
My first pedalboard was built around EVH's tone and was almost entirely Boss pedals and it actually sounded really good. Aside from a Phase 90 and a TC Electronic delay, it was basically: CS3 > SD1 > DS1 > BF3 > RV5
I had those! And I sweared they only used Boss. Great video❤
Always loved Neal's guitar tone on each album, one of the few guitarists that captivate me whenever I hear em. Got kinda close:)
Hi Mike, great video! The Schon lead tone sounds is right on! I really like the white Jackson you're playing, it's a sharp guitar....which model is it? Thanks!
I used to have a bunch of these back in the day that came with my boss digital metalizer lol
Wow, thanks for the trip down the memory lane. I vividly recall studying that booklet, believing it would give me some real insight on how to get those sounds and tailor my own. Funny thing, at the time, I read an interview featuring Trevor Rabin, from Yes, and they talked about this effect book. I can’t recall if it was on Guitar World, or GFTPM, anyway if I recall correctly he said that he recorded the intro with his guitar plugged directly to an overdriven head or amp, dry, no effects. At least that’s what I think I recall.
Later working as a musician gave me an insider’s perspective on how guitar sounds were actually recorded, not that many pedals in the studio.
Regardless I enjoyed this video, brought back fond memories, thanks.
Very fun, my fave would have to be Maniac, but EVH is a close second. I am nuts about gear and pedals they're a blast! I like getting as close as possible to my favorite guitarists tone. I've got a pretty great Stevie Ray Vaughan sound going on currently out of my copycat strat.
i have that same vox amp, i really love it as a pedal platform, especially for fuzz
That's interesting about the CE3, because I was under the impression that NOBODY of any note ever played one. It's a very obscure box and the only one of its kind with the 3 knobs covering the LED.
The riff in Beat it was Steve Lukather, Eddie just did the solo.
I love Boss so much I bought a Boss Katana 50 watt amp, and it kicks ass.
This is awesome!
The Robotron and Defender signs, though! Are you building an arcade in your studio? ❤
Way cool and interesting video.. My first pedal was the Boss Heavy Metal as well
Cool vid, but I think it’s clear that the Marketing team at Boss was trying to push sales of distortion at the time. WAY too much drive for matching those tones.
Haha, man, that is awesome! When I was first getting into guitar, I would definitely have loved that Heavy Metal pedal. And to this very day, I think the Super Overdrive is an awesome pedal.
Rock on Mike!
It seems like they were trying to sell the HM pedal when the booklet came out 😆I agree though, the HM is a bit harsh and fizzy for 80s classic rock/metal tracks.
What's more interesting to learn is the pedal order, which will inspire beginners and those new to pedals to get started.
BTW the riff for Beat It is played by Steve Lukather, only the solo was Eddie, so for the crispness of the solo for that you can probably get away it. Also the solo in Separate Ways doesn't have any chorus on to my ears and definitely sounds cooler with delay on the rhythm!
I remember buying a Boss Flanger and it had that booklet in the box! I spent hours looking at the settings and dreaming about owning a distortion pedal
very few of your videos have been showing up in my feed
nice video mike!
I had one of those books it came with a boss pedal yeah little over 20 years ago
That was very fun!
Cool stuff. Fun idea
Boss, Fulltone, MXR, EHX, EQD, and Walrus Audio...OK, and Mooer, plus one or two other effects makers, are the stuff! 😁
Really pushing those Heavy Metal pedals, weren't they?
That digital delay definitely makes up the "Every Breath you Take" tone
