Share the video if you can! :)
Thanks!!
This has to be the most amazing Purple/Blackmore-fan video on CZcams!
Haha, thanks man! I appreciate it :)
Finally a SOUND after 50 years!!!!!!
Very good!!!
Grazie mille Mauro!
Yeah I have to say in this vid the picture is so freakin awesome that I cannot focus on how great the playing and the sound is :D
I was 12 when the album machine head was released. That's why I wanted to learn to play the guitar. And I still play today this purple songs.
Same happened to me. I was 10 when I first heard the album. Sometimes I wonder if I’m being objective when I think it’s at the peak of all rock masterpieces. And I always conclude that I am lol.
You're as "objective" as is possible. Montreal Canadians legendary Goalie from the 1970s was once asked, "when was the golden age of hockey?" His answer seems to apply to Rock just as well as it does to hockey. "the Golden age was when-ever you were 12 years old!" Seems right. Our "heroes" are all larger than life when we're this age. Greats come along when you're older too.......but they never reach that same status, regardless of how amazing they might be. I can appreciate Van halen but he's just a guy who plays really well. Hendrix came along and was gone too early for me. I was just a little kid not paying attention in the 1960s. At 12 though I was buying my first records and Machine Head was the ultimate when I first heard it. For me too.......biggest influence that had me going out to get that first guitar too/
These two solos on Lazy expecialla on Min Japan made Rock history- thanks very much for paying tribute to this and even the environment of the original recording "studio" in Montreux is simply fantastic. Kudos to mgalbu!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Superb! One thing is now clear: this isn't Ritchie's secret channel, 'cause we've finally got face behind the guitar.
Haha, thanks, I had no choice! Now you know why I wasn't showing it before lol
Why, because there's greys in your hair, like in mine too? I think that we're like a good wine (or grappa).
I wish that your channel has more subs, because you're doing real dissection of Ritchie's sound.
Cheers, looking forward to more, although I'm big fan of Mark III, and soon I'll put some Ritchie's stuff on my channel.
Thanks Tomi, I look forward for your MKIII stuff. I'd wish I had more views too, other channels get my views for a month in one day! lol
Just Perfect....
tone and play
i really wish i can play like you
Thank you Tony!! :)
Tremendous video. I love everything about it. Cheers!
Glad to hear that. Thanks so much! :)
Awesome !!! You know what you're talking about ! That's perfect.
Thanks a lot mowjay! I really appreciate your comment.
Thanks so much for the comments guys! :)
amazing work note for note and just the same tone. Like a new Blackmore who's still playing in that room...
Thank you so much Fabio! ;)
Awesome..i mean the whole thing about playing in the Corridor of the Grand Hotel,
Speechless!
That was brillant
Thanks so much Chuck!
Truly great playing,and I consider myself a good judge.
I loved the way u created the look of the Swiss Hotel studio too!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun making the hotel corridor, very glad you liked it!
all you need is the ritchie wig ...ha ha ....brilliant man
Thank you!! 😄😄😄
no words... just play man... amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! :)
What a throw back vibe! Nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! 🎸🎸🎸
Omg!....is that really "the" hallway?? I really really want it to be.... but it's probably your green screen mastery....great video idea! ....and perfect tone and performance as usual
Mgalbu, you are the Purple Priest!! Fantastic!
Thank you, Rick!! 👍🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@mgalbu you’re welcome! Just ordered your version of the HS Booster. Looking forward to it!
@@Slammintone Thanks so much! 😊🎸🎸🎸
@@mgalbu Yes!! Your pedal nails that Blackmore sound like no other HS types I’ve had ever did. Using a stock USA American Vintage 56 Stratocaster through either my 100 watt ‘68 Plexi clone or my Marshall 1974x 18 watt combo that 70-72 Deep Purple sound comes through so easily and the adjustment knob balances the sound just right. So quiet and beautifully voiced. Incredible! Thanks so much!
@@Slammintone Thank you so much Rick, very happy that you liked it! And thanks also for the great feedback you left on Reverb! :D
With a period correct Coke bottle, after having bought the Grand Hotel, and removing the rooms for the structure for posterity, and future video opportunities- we are treated with this. There's no doubt it blows away the 2 part Collage 20 minute film I made years ago now. Me twiddling on a broken Strat body with no strings, that I snuck back into the Coliseium to record. I know this is true, as it gnaws in my belly at this moment still. But what can I do ? The 2nd part of the Super 8 video, made years later, with myself and a Candace look alike, was the piece de resistance to complete the vignette, and I'm happy with the way it came out. The 'ol mangled strat body I painfully won in '78 at the Coliseum in Houston, was there clearly, to tie the ideas together. Other artifacts ? A dude in the front row had crutches that night. Ritchie gallantly, and with grand style accepted one to play the slide solo on MOTSM, and just as gallantly went down to one knee, like a knight to return it , like it was the sword from the Stone presented to King John. He left with one single crutch, after I explained to him that he could make it to his car with one, but both would leave his knees shattered. I was pissed not to have the neck, but ya can't win 'em all. The guy that had the neck, big and double ugly had explained a similiar scenario to me, not 30 minutes earlier. He punctuated it with the swelling black eye I then had. He would have a problem getting my new pickups, I assured him, and we settled there. Discretion is the better part of valor. So, I compromised with him as well, at one crutch; taking care to note the actual crutch it was, and no punctuation was needed. So I got the Strat Body, and a crutch- which made it into the movie too, her head kinda bobs up and down, and you can see it then,on the downbeat, against the far wall, in the "medieval" wing of my condo. It WAS impressive, I reckoned. The Candace look alike was something else, a real actress alright. Her performance was outstanding. However, today- a dark day, I have seen this, and my efforts pale comparatively. And for the record he missed a note during the chromatic run down the E string. Just saying. Alas, I have no Marshall Major, either.
Great sound !
Thank you!! I revised the circuit recently, I'll be uploading new stuff soon!
Nailed it. Awesome.😊
I'm wondering how the Grand Hotel footage was done here alone. Amazing
Larry Toering Thanks!! I created the footage in 3D based on the Grand Hotel pictures. It’s my day job :)
@@mgalbu friggin monster man!! 🤟🏻🤣🎸👍🏻
@@guitarlicksntricks Thank you! ;)
Fantastic!
Nailing the Ritchie sound, very nice vids!
Thanks so much, Mike! I appreciate.
I just checked your channel, your band is excellent and your sound and good taste are great!
Hey Max ,.......just saw this one ,.........Amazing as always !!.......you just made my day !............Lou
Hi Lou! Thanks so much my friend! Glad you liked it, I had a lot of fun making this one. Cheers! M.
@@mgalbu Thanks !........First time I see your face ,....you look good !..lol
If I understand correctly,........the Treble Booster you built acts on the tone even when swithed off ?
@@lousekoya1803 Hahah, thanks Lou! The booster I build is non-true bypass like the original so it affects the sound a bit even when in the off position. It cuts off some highs. But I basically have it on at all times tbh. Let me know if you ever want me to build you one!
@@mgalbu Thanks for your input !
And yes I'd like you to build one for me,...I'll contact you during the week on TGP in private message.
Have a great evening my friend !
Lou
Incredible!!!!!
Thank you so much Robert! :)
awesome Max! as always
Thank you so much Eric! :)
Only few can pull this of, note for note sound and vibrato all there like you stepped in some time machine
To reach this level of playing one needs talent but also great dedication
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment.
WOW amazing edition and sound! I'm simply astonished because I didn't see this coming lol. How'd you made this?
Hi, I was looking for information about Blackmore's Marshall Major and I
found your CZcams channel. our sound and technique is still closer to
the original. Congratulations. I beg you some information. What are the
modifications on your Marshall Major? 2xKT88 and ..? Attenuator? Can I
play with 2xKT88 on pre Rola 4xG12H 30? I
do not want to kill them ... To understand me, I try to play DP ;-) I
use BSM HS-C model (based on the British HORNBY-SKEWES) or Galaxy 1011
(AIWA) Do you have any schematics and advice for me. Thank you. Best
Regards Chalda
Hi Chalda, thanks for your nice comments! My 2xKT88 Major is a modified circuit based on the factory mods made for Blackmore at the Marshall factory. VERY loud. :) I'm using a Rockcrusher attenuator at -3dB before my 2x12 cab with Scumback H55s so I don't blow out the speakers. You should be OK connecting it direct to your 4x12 cabinet.
Also, I put the 2x12 cabinet inside an isolation cab that lets me play at full volume without bothering anyone. This is key to obtain the full sound.
Cheers.
I know he used an AC30 in the grand hotel (as far as the photos go?) But your tone sounds identical. Do you have any information on what he used, and I'd really be interested on your Marshall Major build!
Thanks! I initially thought too that the AC30 was the Machine Head amp and recorded many tests with my HW2 modified to '62/'63 spec to match Blackmore's build, but I could only get so close. Then I read Didi Zill's account of what he saw during the recordings and he mentioned the Marshall stack being by itself in the hallway, which made me think. A picture on his "Deep Purple" book shows the Marshall Major head with the modded HS booster on top, indicating that that was the amp in use and not the Vox, which was sitting in Roger's corner. I'm guessing it was the amp they were using for songwriting, or -as shown in one of the picts in the book it was wired to Roger's Major and perhaps used as a bass cabinet (it was equipped with H12 speakers). So I made a Major replica with just two KT88 instead of four, and the moment I plugged my Strat through my HS booster I knew that it was the right combo. Cheers!
Добрый день! Я восхищен работой, котораю Вы проделали. Надо иметь очень хороший слух, чтоб не только воспроизвести Ritchie's тон, но и пространственную обработку. В интернете попадалась информация, что Ritchie использовал Bill Lawrence Q-filtr. Вы используете его на своей гитаре? Заранее спасибо за ответ.
Thank you so much for your comment! Much appreciated. From what I know the Q-Filter works in a similar way as the MTC that Dawk Stillwell created for Blackmore. It was wired to his neck pickup only and it acted as a high-pass filter. It basically removed some low frequencies from the overall sound. I never tried it personally but I heard from other people who say that it doesn’t really make a lot of difference. Cheers! M.
@@mgalbu Спасибо за ответ. Здоровья Вам!
I have read you mentioned using a 2x12 cab with the Scumback H55 speakers however is the cab a vintage/current Marshall model, another brand, or a complete DIY commissioned project?
It was a Vox cab. Scumbacks are really good, way better than current Celestions to my ears. But nothing beats the Pulsonics. Worth every penny. 🎸🎸🎸
@@mgalbu Thanks since I am brushing up on the H55 speakers as I have read they have an increased bass response aiding in Blacker's MH tone. So many variables to consider as I also like some treble response for other RB tone eras. At the moment perhaps having two separate 2x12 cabs with one for bass response and another for more upper mids likely with the H55-PVC if one is to remain faithful to the Scumback products.
I just looked for a Pulsonic and saw an UK listing for the Celestion Rola Pulsonic G12H for just over $400 Canadian plus very expensive shipping and import charges.
@@conradsteeves9377 The way I see it there's no need to change speaker types for Blackmore's different eras. Just do what he did. From '69 to '73 he used a modified Hornby Skewes booster. From '73 to now, a modified AIWA TP-1011 preamp. Both have different tonal ranges. That's a much cheaper and effective way to get closer to the different original sounds than having two separate cabs IMO.
Regarding the Pulsonics. Most are 16 Ohm. So if you are planning to put them in a 2x12 (in the event you find them in good condition in Canada or the US) you'll have to find the ultra rare 8 Ohm version of the G12H 55Hz, the T1460
@@mgalbu Yes if I am lucky to ever get some Pulsonics I would put them in a 4x12 cab whether a brand name cab or a DIY project is too early to consider. I mentioned 2x12 since that is what you are using in the demo and wasn't planning such a cab housed with Pulsonics. I appreciate your willingness for assistance and advice.
EDIT: Came across two Celestion G12T-75 ‘Large Rib’ Pulsonic cones for sale which I read their sound is very similar to the older Pulsonics but are considered slightly brighter at lower volume levels.
@@mgalbu I decided to go for a 4x12 cab preferably unloaded so I can get the Scumback H55s installed. Investing in Pulsonic speakers sounds ideal but unrealistic at this early stage depending upon how I feel about the Scumbacks. My fear is burning out the speakers so I have to be careful what to choose to handle your MM 100W replica. Feel free to offer some sage advice. ;)
Great vid, superb sound, GREAT playing! Love it!
Your tone here comes VERY close to the Blackmore studio sound. Are you by any chance willing to share your view on the Hornby Skewes mods? On his forum, John Stillwell insisted the "magic" came from a 1973 Fairchild 2N5139 transistor. I'm surprised, because this couldn't have been used on the MiJ album then. Then I hear your modded Major without booster... WOW!!!
In my opinion this is a sound no Kemper or other modelling/profiling amp can even come close to...
Forgive me, I'm not trying to steal your mods, I just get over-enthousiastic on the Blackmore sound and tech behind it. Sadly, mr Stillwell never got to publish his book promised on his forum about all the mods he made for his famous rock star clients. I guess that is part of the magic too now...
Thanks Wlat! The mods to the booster were just a few really. Mainly one or two components and adding the Level knob. What really makes the difference in tone are the mods to the Major. The amp by itself has to nail the sound before the booster can add any colouring to it.
Dawk came way after the MKII days and I never read anything from him on Blackmore's Deep Purple sound that sounded truthful to me. All his mods can be heard perhaps on Rainbow albums but I wouldn't know as it's not my favourite Blackmore tone. Too thin and trebly.
😳
How do you imagine recording in a studio in 1972 with a 200 Watt amplifier?
He didn’t. MachineHead was recorded using a Vox AC30
Machine Head was recorded with a modified Mashall Major, a modified booster and stock Strats. As reported by Blackmore himself in several interviews over the years.
Вы в настоящей комнате? Как вы это сделали?
Я смоделировал комнату в 3D и снял себя на зеленом экране, используя тот же ракурс камеры. Соединяя обе части вместе, создается иллюзия присутствия. :)
@@mgalbu Благодарю:)
