No More Tears is my go-to album. I think it's the best produced album of that era. I probably listened to it 50,000 times. I know every nook, cranny, and nuance of it. I just can't get enough of that fat and wide Zakk Wylde guitar sound - and the solos are amazing. Great job on the reproduction! Sounds awesome! I need one of those Yamaha SPX90's!
Yep! The symphonic setting is the one everyone uses.
If you can;t find an SPX the Yamaha Magicstomp has all the SPX effects plus many more new ones. It's an amazing pedal.
I’m sorry I’m so late, but I just wanted to say that I think No More Tears is the pinnacle of Zakk’s playing, songwriting, tone, everything
You can find symphonic preset in virtually any yamaha gear: rev5, rev7, spx50d, spx990, spx1000. I think there is no difference between them soundwise.
Zakk is my all time favourite guitarist so this video is a godsend
I like the Randy Rhoads era, but I loved your description of Crazy Train, lol, spot on. Great video as always.
Eddie Höek Thanks Eddie. I had fun doing this one.
Zack is nothing original, pieced together by left over bodies struggling to keep their jobs...Zak is far better then what they made him with Ozzy although he himself loved Randy...he was picked cause of his hair.
Zakk makes me proud to be a New Jersey born & bred guitarist.
Brilliant job! Learned a lot and laughed my ass off. Cheers from Boston
Great job! All worked out in the end, I'm glad to see.
MarlonGibbons Thanks man. Yep I’m proud of this one.
Damn, you nailed it! Great job, brother! Viva Circle of Tone!
This is one of my favorite guitar videos on TH-cam! Thanks for making this video.
Thanks Mo. means a lot.
Sounded amazing! That's the tone I remember Zakk using back in the day! Cheers!
+Kurgle Kreutzer glad I could take you back!
That slide work though. I audibly said DAMN MAN!!!! as soon as you doing the slide in that intro. Killer tone.
Michael Oliver Thanks man! All the popular instructional vids used a finger. Totally wrong! I had to watch vids of Zakk playing it live. That saved my bacon. Thanks for appreciating it!
You’re videos on tone are great. The best I’ve seen
7Pines Knives That means a lot. Thanks.
THIS SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Smallwood thanks man!
Amazing. I have no idea what it takes to change a speaker, but when I think about you swapping speakers and cables and pickups and whatever, it sounds like an astonishing amount of work. Thanks for all you do!
Glad I found this in your Archives Owen. One of my bands actually just picked up this cover. Thanks.
Robert Baum welcome to the Circle!
Always looking forward to your videos.
cortarelva thanks man! Good to have you in the circle! .
Owen, Thanks for sharing, cool Slide work. Something interesting and New every time here!
+Paul Nyman Thanks Paul. Comments like these motivate me. Cheers!
You absolutely nailed the tone Owen, I know because I listen to this song at least once a week, it's my favourite song and I dream of being able to play it to perfection. Good luck with your new products, you have the passion so I doubt you'll ever have a shortage of customers
Joaquin Lance Thanks Joaquin. That means a lot to me. I have a few of those essential songs too. Glad I could take you back to the vibe.
Excellent tone! spot on. I really enjoy youre Channel \m/
Buffalo Bry Thanks man! Welcome to the Circle!
Amazing as usual! Keep it up.
Daisy Doodle thanks again Doodle!
FANTASTIC vid, Thank you.
Amon Barton Thanks man! Welcome to the Circle!
I saw this tour !! I remember thinkn wow I don't think zakk looked at his guitar for the full show
Dude uve got killer tone I'm embarrassed now lol time to turn some knobs 🎛
I completely forgot about this, awesome record!
Fucking amazing man, I'm aware this is an old video but you got it nailed as far as I'm concerned! Got to say being a man from the valleys, it's great to see you doing well. Inspiring stuff butt! X
Thanks boyo.
Sounds great man. Zakk is a fucking beast and a lot people don't get just how fucking good and how talented he is...
I think no more tears solo is one of the best Ozzy solos. Iconic.
Always loved Zakk's tone. Chris Holmes (WASP) also had a killer tone with tons of chorus. Nice job on these tone vids...each one sounds very authentic
+scott munden I’ll have to try a Chris tone one day. Thanks man!
So good Owen👌keep them coming 🎸🎙🎶🎛🔈
+VB308 Will do! Judas Priest is next!
Great video series you do man very interesting
Sounds completa badass bro, great job
Thanks Ricardo.
"Learn how to love and forget how to hate"
+Bruno Gutierre Is that what it says? Haha. I always thought it sounded like Beavis.
Brilliant - MORE of this style please
I have to finish up a few death metal vids then I’ll move on to classic bands.
Good to see you getting back to TONE bro!
Thanks man!
Great video, this is one of my favourite tones of all time. I am an emg 81 guy but understand why some dont like them.
+zanmato86 I was an EMG guy for 30 years. It’s kinda good to get it back.
as always amazing
+Rafael Bar Erez Thanks man!
These videos are amazing, keep it up.
+R Shers Thanks man! Judas Priest is next!
Looking forward to it.
Ah, just finished watching it ! : * )Great video and much appreciated !! :)
+Rag Mot Cheers! Glad you liked it
Hey Owen! Great vid and thanks for thoroughly describing gear as well. Believe it or not Zakk used to live 8 miles down the road from me in Jackson NJ and his bass player John DeServio lived a few blocks away in a town I used to live in Called Cliffwood Beach NJ. Anyway, Jakk's a great player and when I first heard him on No More Tears he hit like a sledge hammer!
Very cool man.
Bloody enjoyed this video!!! Good Job!!!
+TheVesselkyt Delighted you like it!
Soccer mom hair!!!! Bwaahaaahaaa. Dude that is priceless
Haha. I only say things they say to themselves after the fact. Ozzy is the man.
Great Job on this Anders It's great to see you with almost 10K subs.I subbed you when you had more videos than subs. I would love to get one of your pedals some day.
Joe Dov haha. Yeah that was a saying of mine. That’s Joe.
Wicked! Your a great player bro!
Jacob S. Thanks man!
I would realy like you to recreate that heavy flanged/chorused tone from Ozzmosis... :)
Peter Golden ditto
Great idea.
Peter Golden it’s a rotovibe. Amazing pedal!
Check out videos on the SPX90.
Check out a channel called "Big Hairy Guitars". The dude does a great video on Zakk Wylde tone, "The Shaven Years".
He walks you through gear, pedals, rack mounted stuff and the processor Zakk used back in the day.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nicely Played! It's right up there with Kentcarlevi's Cover! Whoa, You rocked it Brah
Thanks man
Great video dude! The tone was awesome, slide is a pain in the ass to play if you don't do it all the time. Cheers!
Yep. A roadie friend of mine suggested palming it. But it sucks for him because he roadied for Led Zeplin and Jimmy used to throw it at him as a sport.
You got a sub from a fellow musician here. Great tips and you sounded pretty damn good man. Keep it up! Hopefully I will get back into recording music again, I do miss it.
Billo1281 Thanks man! Do it! It’s cheaper than ever!
Sets my OCD off that you're playing the song incorrectly but the subject of the video and your dedication to this endeavour earned you a sub.
So good. It should be easy for dig to mimic 2 inch by now.
Zakks rig has been well documented. I was wondering if you had any interest in taking a look at the tone from White Zombies last two albums.
Crimson Ghost good call! I love that tone.
Zakk reintroduced the craziness ozzy needed in a guitar sound. No Rest is a great album, with a maniacal guitar tone. I appreciate the subtle techniques he displayed on that album. Randy was great, i enjoy listening to Randy's tweaks underneath or set back behind his main hooks. I enjoy listening to what he's doing during Ozzy's vocal verses and choruses...even the subtle nuances during his solos. Randy and Zakk are where it's at for me. Taking nothing from Lee at all of course! And....it's possible that I have no idea what I am talking about! Love your videos btw!

Also if interested in my music/pedal etc: www.circleoftone.com
You should do Morbid Angel's "Altars of Madness" sometime.
egregion DONE. Keep watching in Dec for 12 days of HEXMAS. An advent calendar of Death/Extreme/Black Metal. 12 bands. One month.
You should probably update your re-creation videos in some way and upload them again as your channel grows. We've all heard that most TH-cam videos get their greatest number of views in the first 72 hours after they're uploaded. The hard work you've put into these videos should be rewarded, and the results of your research shown to any new subscribers who tend not to go back and watch old videos. I always go back ad watch older videos on channels I like, but many people simply do not.
CIRCLE OF TONE. Q1; I was taught to use a TD808 the RIGHT WAY by a studio engineer; turn the gain just enough to get signal through, & nearly max the volume knob.
If it’s a model with a Q, or whatever,?go ahead & tweak it.
Point was, it’s NOT about opening the gain up. So, have you thought of trying that with your COT Dirt box? Good job on the NMTs vid!
awesome my friend!
You may have already thought of this but just in case...If you are getting demonetized by copyright holders due to use of certain tracks you should try making 2 videos for each Circle of Tone subject. Make a short video where you recreate the tone using backing tracks and what not that will get demonetized and link it to a second longer video with your background and technical information that you can monetize. Love the channel, good luck!
Good idea!
awsome job sir
+JOYOFTHEDIZZY Thanks!
unbeatable
Cheers!
I love you man!
Erich Zann Straight back at you Erich.
Well done!
Cheers Blake.
Excellent in every respect...
Thanks Rob!
Nice work!
Matt Syverson the Paperback Rocker Cheers!
I honestly love EMG passives. The actives are great for full blast distortion non stop, but I find the EMG passives are versatile with a ton of headroom, but can really growl without sounding harsh. They are kicked-around-kid of pickups, but I love mine. I wish they came in a 7 string version for my 7 string explorer knock off
I suck with a slide. You got it pretty damned close dude. I always loved that chunky ass tone on that song.
Thanks man. It took me a while haha.
Another great vid Owen! I think getting that subscriber number up where it belongs comes down to posting often and regularly. I appreciate that you post when the vid is ready regardless of schedule. Quality of quantity. I dunno, maybe you could add a live QA or something were you answer questions about tone and whatnot . Or maybe some short gear segments or somethin'. Exciting news about your line of gear you're working on.
+Chris Soares Yep I have some ideas for December. Nov will be tricky but I’m working on Judas Priest.
No more tears?
How about no MORE COVERS!!!!
LoL, just kiddin’.
VERY entertaining vid, Owen!!!
If the idea is to re-create a tone, then it is necessary to "cover" a pre-existing song. That's what Circle Of Tone does. There are other channels just sayin.
sweet emotion :)
Good shout! I’ll need a voicebox.
I just went on a binge of your videos. Awesome stuff and you have a new subscriber! A small request, if possible can you do a video on Mercyful Fate? Specifically their first two albums. The tone and guitar work of Hank Shermann and Michael Denner is incredible and could be awesome to do a video on!
Cheers
Ethan Quan I will definitely do that in the future. 2017 is planned out though. Great tone. I know I have most of his gear.
Awesome.
+Max Navarro Thanks Max!
Ha, I'm not a big Ibanez fan either, but that guitar looks cool. I do like the look of some of their hollow bodies. Great work by the way!
+Chris Ferrara thanks Chris! Ibanez fans are people too. It gets better. Haha.
Very close indeed...now u just gotta double it....lol...new sub u rock man!
+Handsome Scout thanks man! It was double tracked. Welcome to the circle!
This was excellent, keep up the work... Zakk style beard still needs work though ;)
In my defense, I had this shaped beard before ZAKK was signed. Haha.
I read an interview with Zakk around the time no more tears was released. He said he was the only one who can play his gutar, if some was to pick up his guitar and play it..there would be just feed back. Great vid man you got pretty close technically the sound was there man. Randy was awsome as as a guitarist his my favorite. I never thought of it really being happy haha I was always thinking what he was playing. Zakks sound is a blow away tho. Funny the story how john got picked, ozzy seen him playing a gig sneaking a vindaloo as he played. I'm a big ozzy fan.
Haha. I could murder a vindaloo.
OMFG thanks sooo much man bro i appreciate it, and as always great great stuff🤘🤘👌
Ricardo Lopez Awesome! Thanks for sticking around! Means a lot.
Great vid! I'm curious as to what you'd suggest to anyone trying to recreate this tone but using readily available modern stuff.
Very interesting, love the channel! I also actually like that guitar, sorry about that ;)
Look at my hair. You think I have good taste? haha. Thanks for watching!
Met zakk in London before he joined, totally right, made him dark again!!
Very cool. I’d love to meet him.
My main guitar (only one playable at the moment) is an Ibanez RG. I have been a Strat player my whole life (not conscientiously preferred, but somehow keep coming back to them) and I never thought of Ibanez as an option years ago, but the RG is basically a Super-Strat and they made this thing out of my favorite wood: ASH. My other two Strats are ash bodies but they have the "vintage" frets and those frets are completely worn to nothing. This thing is awesome! The stock pickups are great even though I put a Lace Senor Nitro Hemi in the bridge (Might order one of yours if you got a ceramic magnet humbucker with coil-tapping or call up Becky Lawrence to see if they still have XL500's), it's wired with one of those 5 way super switches so the HSH has a lot of duel-single-coil Strat tones, It's got a HARDTAIL (people are demanding them so take a note FENDER!), jumbo frets (which my meat paws love), natural finish (tung oil I believe) and a 24 fret wizard II neck that's nice and wide (could use a taper or maybe a 10" radius at the lower frets for open chords or a 12-18 compound would be PERFECT for my mitts). I think Ibanez has stepped it way up to make guitars for the consumer and not just their pride (like Gibson and Fender these days).
Don't get me wrong, I love Fender (I even named my first born son after Leo), but those days are long and gone... These corporate monopolies and international conglomerates are egotistical and CEO's and the suits of companies love to stoke their egos with pride as the lubrication. I know I ain't telling you anything you already didn't know but THEY (like sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists) believe if they have the $$$ then they are entitled to tell you what you want, because as the consumers, in their eyes "are not intelligent enough to know what's best because we are too stupid to get ahead instead of living paycheck to paycheck", we are not capable of deciding for ourselves on what we want or need and we should be grateful the CEO's (whom are "great visionaries") have taken their precious and valuable time to decide what's best for us commoners with our room temperature IQ's...
Sorry, next time I will keep it short and without any of my frustration filled rants (especially going off on anything you haven't heard time and time again).
I will now say this: these other guitar companies and and guys like you have now a great opportunity to get your piece of the market while the giants backs are turned. You have a great channel and even though I never personally tested anything you have manufactured, I can tell you have pride in the art of the electric guitar not pride in your EGO.
So with that said: I hope you steal that "golden goose" and run with it. I hope you and anyone else getting into the market, I hope you all give them all hell!
Hehe. Some of the best guitars I have held are Ibanez. Great post btw. Love the passion.
Fuckin' spot on!
Cheers Pat!!
An Ibanez Destroyers with a Dimarzio Super Distortion is great. That might be the Venom/Bathory/KISS fan in me though.
good luck! we r waiting for presentations / reviews.
+lumob2000 Thanks man! They are coming very soon. I’ll probably do a live video when I get all three main items.
live show... is a good ideea. some of the youtube guitar passionate guys r doing that :)
Love... NO REST FOR THE WICKED.
Spot f**kin' on! Cheers!
Thanks man!
@@CIRCLEOFTONE You're welcome! Best guitar channel out there!
Bought a jcm900 4100 and a 1922, it does this era well.
I can even get Dave mustaine.
Totally agree about RR era Ozzy with his "80s soccer mom hair".
Danny Russell haha. It was still awesome but it was a bit of a hard look for me to get passed as a young un.
Would love if you would show what you're doing in your daw. Love the videos, tone is amazing!
+Eric Jowett Eric I’ll be doing a fly on the wall style vid of me recording one of the XMASS videos of death metal in Dec. I’ll make sure the DAW is covered.
That sounds brilliant!
Eric Jowett no prob! Look out for it late Dec.
Holly free hollio Batman this guy kicks ass!!
Haha. Thanks man.
I keep my guitar picks in the same skull shot glass you use for your slide. Zakk's tone with the harmonic pinches was godlike. Thanks for the awesome vid
rum core Haha. Yeah those things are handy.
Michael Wagener actually used a BBE sonic maximizer on the guitar tone for that record. You can hear it in the scoopiness of his tone. Btw this sounded fantastic, great job!!
+thedddemon great Info. Thanks.
Cheers. Just to be clear., the BBE is in addition to everything you've done, it just enhances the highs and the lows. Well done again.
thedddemon Yep. I have that plugin but like I said it sounded so good, I didn’t want to add tape simulation etc. So I doubt I would have used it.
A good JCM800, it’s them
Big outputting transformers!
Yep! Heavy metal!
I love Zakk Wylde's style of playing. Granted a lot of it comes across as just Kirk Hammet on steroids, but with pinch harmonics instead of a wah wah pedal so I can understand some of the criticism of it I've seen, but then I think it's because his style was so aggressive and unique in the 80's that it became the stereotype once the Van Halen tapping phase had passed. Can't blame the guy for that, lol.
I really like your videos man, it's blatantly obvious you really do your homework on this stuff and it's a joy to see and hear.
+Gray Thanks again! Comments like yours keep me motivated.
Kirk Hammer has the worst vibrato I've ever heard of a metal guitarist.
It's the equivalent of the caprino(goat) vibrato in opera, resultant of poor breath support.
Zakk has a really wide and consistent vibrato. Sounds like a man playing. While Kirk sounds like an unsure prepubescent boy.
Balls out. Fucking excellent. The new 4k didn't diminish the swelling of deez balls! Great work, mate.
Titan Suprruda haha. Titan that made my day :-)
Awesome vid, and since your skills clearly transcend guitar... Q: Could you *please* do a vid on how to get vocals to 'pop out' of a 'guitar heavy' mix - eg The Darkness 'I believe in a thing called love'?
Andybaby They probably used expensive preamps and compressor on the way in. It’s glorious. It may not be possible to get that quality in the mix. I’m not sure to be honest.
I think Michael Wagener had also brought in a 2555 Silver Jubilee during this session.
But you hit hat Urie 530 EQ on the money! I don't know if the Roland reverb or hisYamaha SPX90 chorus were around anymore in studio.
Fine work my friend. Keep playing the slide. It can open up a lot of new sounds. You gotta relax the wrist and ease on top of the frets. Play lazy, but in tune (listen more, look less?) I really like Randy Rhoads as a pure guitarist ("Mr. Crowley" is the song I identify most with the Rhoads era). Zakk is my favorite for multiple reasons. He was a virtual unknown that put in the work and it shined through with Ozzy. I have a love/hate relationship with EMG's. It's pre-fab tone and I have to admit it sounds great with this style of production. Had a Neal Schon guitar that looked way worse than that Ibanez, but it sounded soooo good with those stupid EMG's. I don't know what basement you dug that UREI out of, but what an awesome find. The mic under the cab was a brilliant idea for getting the low frequency chunk to ring out. I hope the studio magic illuminati doesn't come looking for you after sussing out so many tricks (I wouldn't be too worried, they're probably too busy trying to prove who makes the greatest A/D converter or coming up with new "trick" shortcuts on protools anyway). Excellent as always, Ian. You rock!
Doctor Red haha. Tone Illuminati. We need them to take over bedrooms. The sm57/v30/5150 rinse repeat has to end.
Thanks for watching. Great points.
That album is why I own a jcm800, a boss sd-1, a lp style guitar (Chapman not Gibson though) and have got a emg 85/81 set.
+qwert911 good choice! Thanks for watching!
That was awesome dude, I think you nailed it! Did you try the EVM 12L`s that he is known for using? Btw, keep up the good work man!
Robin Hansen Yep! They are a good speaker but I pref celestions.
Haven`t tried those speakers out yet, but they do sound good, very clean sounding I have heard. But I am also running Celestion v30s with my Randall RG100ES, and they sound really good with that amp!
good tone with emg's is wat zack did. made me reconsider them. i prefer duncans but emg's aren't bad either in the right hands.
+arjan snijder Yep! I like this mix. As long as tubes are involved EMG’s are fine.
yeah some higher gain pups are fine to me. i'm still not the biggest emg fan but their okay. i even prefer the blackouts from duncan over emg's but that's because i'm a seymour duncan fan. it's also peronal from ear to ear offcourse. but no rest for the wicked and esspecially no more tears, great sounding records. there where some killer killer songs on no rest for the wicked, tatood dancer is so zakk. when zakk didn't overdo pinch harmonics , he used them to his advantage.
Could you please do a video of Alex Lifeson's tone? This video was GREAT!
Only from a distance That will have to be done! Good call. Those drums will be TOUGH. Air drums on standby.
Which one? There are so many through the years.
Jean Landry , i'd like to ses around the 2112, Farewell to Kings, or Moving Pictures years. I understand now he uses mostly rack gear and custom built amps. Im more interested in what i could possibly replicate.
Oh. Yeah the drums.
That could be difficult.
Good request for this channel though! I would check that out.
Shoot. I am not crazy about Zakk / Ozzy. And this video was a lot of fun.
Only from a distance yeah the earlier stuff may be easier amp wise.
I haven't played a slide in 20 years until yesterday and then I found this video today. Is someone sending me signs? Oh and Ibanez makes great guitars if you know what to buy and how much to spend...MIJ
Ken Greenman that’s what this chan is all about. Keep you tinkering! I’ve owned lots of ibanez. Including MIJ prestige etc. Not a fan. Ive noticed most ibanez users tend to use a lot of gain and high output bare knuckle pickups because they sound insipid with more dynamic lower output pups.
But they are fast/easy to play so it’s a tradeoff. .
Pretty cool. Great job
bradly373 Thanks man. Sunday psalms.
CIRCLE OF TONE Your friend for guitar tone Totally different thing. But a vid I made in a small club using a torpedo live with a 100 watt head. I was surprised tone was great.
th-cam.com/video/8PjGBV5yLvQ/w-d-xo.html
bradly373 I’ll check it out!
F yeah!
mega chillin CHEERS MC!
Ill say this about you man you have some real "UNIQUE", tastes and opions!! "no rest for the wicked" is ine of my favorite ozzy albums except for blizzard of oz! Its hard to beat that one tho but zakk gives his idol randy a run for his money tho man! In my opion!!!
Video looks great! What did you get?
+Blimps In Space A Nikon 7500. It will look even better soon. My software does not output at 4k and is limited to HD. So it will be even better next time. Priest is next!
I'll just need a 4k monitor then haha. Still there's definitely a really big noticeable bump in the quality at 1080. Wicked camera :) Have you looked into Premiere Pro? There's a learning curve there but if you can tough it out it's actually a breeze to work in.
Blimps In Space I don’t fancy spending $30 a month for that. I just upgraded premier elements to handle 4k. I keep my vids simple. I’m buying camera gear to make the shots better. Like micro lenses, lighting and smooth panning attachments. So my 12 days of Hexmas vids should all look great.
Do you do drum sounds? I love the intro to The Prisoner by Iron Maiden. That Number of the Beast album had great drums. Also Danzig had a really crisp drum sound. Like in She Rides. I guess I just like to hear the drums and I like them to sound real. And I like great drummers.
Not usually. But I will try and cover drums, mics/placement if I can find it at least in a list etc.
