#BigHairyGuitars #ADAMP1 #NunoBettencourt
Pornograffiti....probably the best overlooked underrated hard rock album of the late 80's and nothing compares to it...happy poppy metal that makes ya dance and headbang too
My favorite. The guitar work on it is incredible. It's Nuno - and then ten steps behind everybody else.
Overlooked?
It's Funk Metal
And also just flat out one of the best albums period.
For sure, for modern young players. If you grew up with it like I did it is the opposite, though I still can’t play all of it after years of trying
It's from 1990 and it's the best album of the year without question.
I met Nuno on either the Pornograffitti or III sides tour and I told him I loved his tone. He was sarcastic about it and said " Yeh my tone is such a mystery , ADA preamp, cut the mids into the negative and boost the bass and highs".He was very humble and normal.One of my favorite players.
Dude, so glad you did this. This one is right up there with your Zakk tone reconstruction, amazing job! I'd love to hear you do some Vito stuff too.
Yaaaassssss m'lord!
Thank you my brotha!
@@BigHairyGuitars and @Leon Todd I probably played more shows with, (as an opening band), Nuno in the 80's in New England more than any other band,,,in RI, up in Boston, all over..I also was a studio intern where he recorded some demo's (before Extreme got signed, he was in a band Sinful), and know with 100000000000% certainty that the one piece of this missing from the puzzle in this signal chain is a 1984 (or so), ProCo RAT pedal. It was on every pedal board he had, even when they got signed, recorded all his records with it..this is the TRUTH! You guys are both huge sources of inspiration for me, I love your videos, bets of luck!!! Joshua
@@themotocrossmodchannelWulfMX There are bunch of videos where Nuno himself said that he always use ProCo Ratt ,so it is no secret.Of course it is set as a boost (drive at zero).Ratt has a great inherent EQ curve for guitars(rolled a bit of bass,bit of highs with broad 2k mid boost).
@@themotocrossmodchannelWulfMX HOLY CRAPOLINI! that's awesome! That's for the story! Geez. I don't have a Rat, and haven't really used one since I was in HS. Time to hit Reverb and do some Rat shopping.
Nuno's playing and sound never gets boring to me. His stuff was one of the first things I really learned when I was starting on guitar and is still one of my main influences. Still can't play that shit right 25 years later. :D
What a treat to hear this. Love this type of video and the solo bit was fantastic. Guitar tone bites and sounds great! Love it! 👍
Nuno's Tone on Pornograffiti is up there for me with Randy Rhoads, Michael Schenker, Eddie Van Halen and George Lynch. In that order! ;)
Michael Schenker is so cool!
Yes! Very well put.
You're a fantastic player! You've really got "the touch"... more than just trying to copy Nuno, you've got the swagger, the groove and the feel that not many have. And, killer tone! At the end of the day, it really is in the hands. I've seen and heard Nuno through many rigs, and he always sounds like Nuno.
Great Video!!!
Thanks!!!
Nice one fella!... Seen so many vids of folks trying to get 'that 80's tone'... This is the best one (by a distance) because you're actually getting it right. Thankyou for taking the time to do this.
Awesome video, loved your rock arrangement of “Hole Hearted” at the end too! 👌
Great video that Nuno tone back in the day was so lusted over. Still now sounds great.
Great video. I loved your song demo at the end. Nuno would be proud
Tremendous thanks for deconstructing Nuno's tone! Great video!
Great vid man!
Awesome playing! Thanks for the ADA45 kemper updates too
Man, thanks for doing this video, I love that 80s guitar tone and I didn't know about the BBE, it's definitely an essential part of the sound
Excellent reproduction of the tone and really good playing too! Great Job!
Well done mate, any mighty fine playing I might add!
awesome I've been waiting for this video from Nuno best guitar tone channel
I toured a lot in the late 80's early 90's when I was a young lad opening for some majors and the tone at the time from many pros was ADA MP1 into the Sonic Max and then RETURN loop of a Marshall 800 or older. Did not use front input of amp or send on amp. Just the power section. The Sonic MM was important as that delayed the highs from getting to your ears so they would arrive when the bass arrives. Effects were 100% wet with a small mixer like RANE SM26 after the MP1. Still to this day I rate EVH tone then the ADA tone as some of the best.
Old JCM800s or Marshall amps before the JCMs never had an effects loop…
@@helio1055 Most of the acts had modded JCM's, so yeah
@@aintchorrollmodel182 no
The channel switching 800s absolutely have FX loops. I currently own 2 '87 2210s and had a 2205 years ago, all have factory FX loops. The single channel 800s did not have loops, but the reissue 2203 does
Excellent video Michael - thank you , love this - really great attention to detail that you put in too. Nice one ! .More like this please.
Thanks Richard!
I'm loving these nostalgia rig recreations!
it's funny, with the quarantine situation going on right now, I pulled out my old first gen ADA just to do something different and fell back in love with it. I remembered you did this video and had to go back and look at the settings. thank you for all you do. keep it up and YES, a Vito video would be bad ass. Cheers
Killer video Mike !!! Always loved Nuno as well ... Thumbs up !
The tone is pretty spot on! Nice playing man!
Great work, bro. Great tone and playing. Thanks a lot.
your cover at the end is incredible ! you really understand nuno’s logic in his playing. he could have played it the same as you, i would not be surprised.
You my man are a hell of a player!! Always enjoy your content.
Your last take sounded massive. That’s the tone I’ve been looking for all my life man.
That was awesome!!I love that sound...I had an AD/A back in the 80’s.....now I want another one...Thanks..
Awesome job! I had that ADA and loved it. Wish I still had it.
This save me A LOT of research - it's great to see guys our age still just loving the old records. Kudos.
Great work !! Excelent tone. Nuno rules. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Nice video, I see you spent a lot of time digging into that, and you've got a great tone going there!
I've been an avid ADA user since the 80's and I own a truckload of their gear, great stuff! On a personal note: Nuno was very specific about which MP-1's he used. Both were Version 1.38, and he had a couple of presets he used which I have written down somewhere. He also used a couple of Boss pedals through his preamps, a distortion, an EQ and a noise gate pedal (essential in the original MP-1). You can see a couple of them in the picture.
Getting a cap job done on the MP-1 will quiet it down a lot! After all, they are over 30 years old.
You are bending the heart strings! Well worth the effort reconstructing this iconic sound.
This is why I love your channel FAR more than any other. Only you would provide such a killer rundown of Nuno. Your knowledge and history is incredible, and so damn appreciated!! Keep up the GREAT work brother!!! PS - awesome rendition of Hole Hearted!!
This is one of my favorite videos you have made! You really did get close to the Nuno porno tone. I love the way you broke down the tone into the various vintage pieces of gear. After watching this, I pulled out my MP1 and lo' and behold, it is a Ver 1.38. I'm heading straight to preset 45 today :) And I have to say, your guitar playing is pretty frickin' awesome.
Great video! I had an ADA back in the day. Great info as well
Great vid and you’re a killer player - sweet take on hole hearted.. 🔥🔥
Sounds GREAT man!!! I am fan of that tone as well.
Another killer video Michael.
Sweet! Nice cover at the end.
Nice twist at the end. Great video.
I saw them on this tour at a Benefit for Make a Wish and they sounded just like the record. Amazing band and guitar tone
Great job brother. Love your channel. Thank you 🤘🤘🤘
Awesome work!!
Killin It!! Really Well Done
AWESOME. I grabbed both the ADA-pack and the UK800-pack. Had the Soldano since before. Really love your profiles. Keep up the good work.
Great job Mike
Nice one, good work and thanks for adding these to my original Kemper pack purchase 👍🎸
Still have my MP-1, it's been collecting dust for too many years, need to bring it out and have some fun with it. I never was able to get it to sound this good but then, as you demonstrated, it's just one of several critical components to a great tone. Awesome vid Michael, always inspiring.
Great sound i really love your version of extreme song .
Wow that's just awesome! Thanks a lot man!
Always great stuff, thanks man!! 🇨🇦
Great video man!
Fantastic job!!
Never mind the tone - that playing was stunning Michael 😎😎😎😎😎
I love your channel so much!! It's so hard to find a channel that had all contents most of rack gear.. I'm more into rack gear myself :D
Yesssss!!! Hole Hearted electric version rules Mike!! Great job on the entire video!
Jacob, Extreme did a electric version themselves, with horn section and all... (let me see if I can find it on youtube) Ha! Found it!

Really love the tones you make for THU. Almost got them all and the cabs are the next on the purchase goal
Thank you Kevin!!!!
Bravo Michael!! disfruté del video, pero sobre todo tu manera de tocar!! Saludos desde Perú.
I'm gonna mess around with my MP-1 now! LOVE your channel man!
awesome video!
You're giving away the secrets! Nice. ADA MP-1, BBE 802, (2)Alesis Quads, MXR Doubler, Global System midi switching, Peavey VXT amp. Best tone I ever had.
I remember where I was when I heard this album. I love how he makes everything funky. Such a talented guitar player.
Thank you! Amazing tone!
That BBE setting is amazing, its harsh and the low end is exploding on my monitors watching the vid here sounds great. Love the mashup cover, sounds like the real deal no comparison to anything on the market these days even with the hiss.
I remember buying Pornographitti as a teenager and just being gobbsmacked buy the guitar on that album! The rhythm lick following Flight of the Bumblebee on He-Man Woman hater was just mind absolutely blowing. It was peak level status for that pre-grunge genre IMO.
My tastes drifted with the times after that, and more towards minimalist punk/SoCal Low desert inspired stuff, but still to this day? I will always give that album well deserved props for inspiring me as a kid to casually pause & rethink the overall possibilities of what a guitar can ultimately accomplish.
Wicked good stuff Mike!
Freakin' love the content.
Stay awesome amigo!
Cheers!
You’ve just got great tone whatever you use Michael...Cool video mate 👍
That's great! Even if my taste is more for the more crunchy tone Nuno had on Waiting for the Punchline. More dynamic and we can here more his tremendous right hand awesome technic!
Niiiiiiiice🤪🤘🏻! Great video!!! Great playing!
Michael!...Super cool video brother! Great deconstruction of Nuno's sound - it sounds GREAT! And very cool song idea at the end. When I was 16 I used to carve Nuno's name into all my high school classroom desks... and then when I was introduced to him by his drummer years later he snubbed me haha... oh well, 'ces't la vie' 🤷♂️. Kudos to you fella, and regards from Melbourne Australia 🤟 🇦🇺
Very well done sir!!
Loved the hole hearted cover. Juicy playing
Man you nailed that!!! It’s exact
hey buddy nice tone, that's hole hearted riff has loud and proud
great tone on it i remember when it came out, great bottom end on the tone
Yeah, Nuno's unbelievable.
So glad you mentioned Bill and Ted... most excellent!
I love the graphic in the background.
This is just glorious. Thank you
amazing tone and playing. The core characteristics of what I thought was the ADA tone actually belonged to BBE! Your video rocks hard.
Thanks. I totally forgot how much I loved his sound
I appreciate your approach, knowledge and time to show how artists get their tone. That was really cool and fun to see! Me personally, I go for my own tone. Unless of course I want join a tribute band.
Met Nuno in 86, been in awe ever since.
Great video. I would love to see one on Nuno's Waiting For The Punchline tone!!
Agreed. Incredible tone!
Hole Heaaaarted! The best version I've ever heard:) Thanks!
I remember buying Pornograffiti shortly after it came out. I was blown away. It took my guitar ambitions to a whole new level. That album still holds up today as some of THE BEST guitar playing ever.And the tone was and still is one of the best ever. You got close Michael….real close. Its got that bright,crunchy,middy zing but a nice fat but tight,focused bottom end. Excellent video!!
Oh that rendition of Hole hearted.....loved it! 😁👍🏻
I remember meeting Nuno's guitar tech at a show I was playing as I am from the same area. He was kind enough to give me Nuno's ADA settings. Wish I still had those!
OD1 4.4 • OD2 5 • Master Gain 3.5 • Bass 9 - Mid -2 • Treb 0 • Prs 4 • Loop (On) • Depth n/a • Rate n/a • Voice T.D. • Name "Main"
Nuno didn't use the onboard chorus but did use the FX loop to a pedal board
Nice job and history lesson
Michael is a solid guitarist, sleeper shredder. 🤘🏼
Love going back and watching these videos. Guitar World have just come out with their 80's edition and a few of these items get a mention. I personally love the tone of this era. Thank f... We have modelling amps today and relatively affordable plugins, noway I could build a collection for this kind of hardware.
Good job.....its definitely got that Nuno mojo going on!!
Dude I love this style of video you do. The Zakk Unshaved was the first video I found of yours and it was so unique. Hope this trend continues! Even though it must be expensive for you to buy all the stuff lol
Ha! Yes. haha
thanks!
Preset 45...the preset of gods of tone🎸 Excelent video dude!
Omg there is a moment in this video where Nuno popped out of my speakers because of the BBE (and your awesome playing ofc) check out 9:38 (with the BBE) compared to 9:19 (without) it seems subtle but it’s a huge discriminator.
I also love the clarity of the single notes at 11:09. This is a great video thank you!
A bit late to the party but firstly: great vid, I've always been a fan of Nuno's tone and playing style and secondly: that ending! You definitely put a killer twist on Hole Hearted!
I love this vid, but some strange reason I always loved their first album guitar tone.
Nice tone!
Big Nuno fan!
Cheers
Highest level of geekdom - XD !! exellent stuff, great playing.
Great video! To me, the quickest way to Nuno's vibe and tone is plugging an N2/N4 on the Bill Lawrence pickup position into nearly any overdriven amp and combine palm mute legatos, sixteenth-note triplets and pinched harmonics :)
