  • My least favorite guitar sound of all time, has always been the ultra clean, chorus-y, super compressed sound of many 80's and 90's pop, light rock, and AOR records. Despite it being used by many of my now favorite guitarists: Steve Lukather, Michael Landau, Dann Huff, Michael Thompson; It was a guitar tone I HATED, until now.
    In this video I'll show you how i've been so obsessed with recreating this guitar tone, and how I did it using UAD plugins and clever audio interface routing.

    Hey RJ...great vid & great playing. My detuned H-3000 sound was actually delay, not chorus. In my quest to try to cop the Edge's detuned delays I stumbled on the Micropitchshift patch in the 3000. I found that increasing the left and right "p delay" to normal delay times (for example left 300 ms and right 600ms) and adding a bunch of feedback I could get a lovely, Edge-like detuned delay...THAT became "my sound" and I preceded to use it on every single record that I played on! LOL Interesting side note: The micropitchshift patch on my H-3000 DSE had this kind of grainier texture that I couldn't get out of the Eclipse - it was too clean. These days I can get everything I need out of pedals but I still have the 3000 at the ready if I need "that sound". best, MT

      Hey buddy!! Another great video. I saw an interview with Dann Huff who explained that 80s guitar sound. He said with the invention of the Yamaha DX-7 which appeared around 1983, all music changed to this glassy, overly processed digital sound. Digital keyboards and the Linn drum machine took over pop music. What kept guitars in the mix was chorus and the Stratocaster. The heavily chorused Strat could enhance the digital keyboards and humanize an otherwise sterile sounding production.

      Thanks for pointing out Jamie West-Oram. He truly deserves more praise, attention and recognition than he has gotten. He is an amazing guitar player.
      I also love The Edge, for those same reasons. Amazingly distinctive and immediately recognizable sound and style. They actually are under-rated guitar players, in that they helped develop and pioneer that amazing 80's Digital Delay / Heavily Chorused British tone, sound and style that unfortunately, barely caught on and lived beyond the 80's. Guitar players claim they do not try to integrate it because it is such a "dated" sound. Yet, I disagree with that assertion. I play some guitar. And, playing with / against a delay and heavily chorused guitar effect is actually somewhat difficult and takes time to learn and get used to playing. It requires exceptional skill and talent to take those extra steps in playing / sound creation. I would argue it is not so "dated" as it is a challenge for too many guitarists to tackle.
      Between Synthesizers, Pop Music and Guitar Sounds / style, the 80's was a most amazing decade. It was a culmination of so many great things coming from the 1950's - 1970's in Rock and Roll / Music and Sound Engineering / Recording. It was almost a climax or apex from those preceding decades. We got the best of the best. Most everything seems to be on decline from that decade, or trying to copy things from that decade, which often fails miserably in its attempt.
      But, no doubt, some of the best and most influential guitar players came from that era (mid to late 70's - 80's). Clapton and Hendrix were also great, for example. But, they are who were primary influences on these great guitar players you mention / are referring too, for example.

      @@axisgarret2516 A hidden gem of a unique guitarist of the 80's: Geordie Walker from Killing Joke. They've gone through a crazy variety of phases and sounds through their career as a band, but for sake of our conversation, their stuff from the latter half of the 80's shows it greatly (Night Time, Brighter than a Thousand Suns, etc.). Actually, Geordie kept a lot of those sounds from the 80's, like the stereo modulation and delays, then tweaked and changed it to fit newer music later on, even when they got into heavier metal and alternative, but it doesn't sound out of place or dated in the slightest!

    On a session once, the great drummer John JR Robinson told me he started showing up to sessions and they would want some drum sound from some other record he had played on. It became frustrating. Obviously the miking and engineering of the basic tracks which may or may not be mixed by the same engineer would make that request almost impossible to achieve. So when the Dynachord sampler showed up in the 80s, he got 2 of them and sampled every drum sound from a few of his popular original sessions. He would show up to sessions with the Dynachords and a huge case full of snares. If he were asked for let's say that Steve Winwood 'Higher Love' sound, he would pretend to choose a particular snare, let the engineer mic it, then send the signal from the Dynachord he was triggering. He said they almost always ended up using the sample!!

      I think (same age group as R.J.) that we kind of ignore stuff that's all over the place and ubiquitous growing up. Early on as a metalhead, all that stuff was "gay" (not saying that in a modern context, just what we used to say back then and I wouldn't use the term today) and lame and "poser". But being a musician and getting into more and more stuff, sometimes we go back and listen to this stuff and hear/see more things than we used to. I've been rocking Foreigner, some Journey, Dare, Fortune, Alien, Styx, and all sorts of stuff I didn't used to like lately (well Liked Styx for quite longer but the rest no). I just can't get enough of that atmosphere and the keyboards and all that. The wussy love lyrics are a blessing and a curse though, since sometimes if I'm dating someone they're ok but otherwise eww lol

      "Don't Dream It's Over" is definitely emblematic of the 80s, but for me it's one of the few that transcends. Maybe because it leans harder into this vibe than most? Verges on an almost Brian Setzer kind of thing, rather than the more sparkly, hyper-processed RIchard Marx area. (Is "Richard Marxist" a thing?)

    I love 80's tone. I love chorus effects. This is one your best videos so far. David Gilmour sounded awesome in the 1980's "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" era. I would love to hear what it sounds like if you add some univibe into your "rack" mix. Please do more videos like this one.

    Best two versions of the 80s guitar tone:

    Both instantly recognizable and glorious.

    I feel that that sound was heard in new wave as well - the Police, the Damned, someone already mentioned Crowded House.

Not regretting it at all. Looking forward to more of these types of videos. It's like a detective series - solving that tone. Take care and God bless.

      @BTsMusicChannel Před 3 lety +1

      I learned how to make this sound from Jamie West-Oram of the Fixx and Andy Summers of the Police back in the day. The stompbox formula you need is a cranked compressor, a modulation effect, and a delay. I tend to use am mxr custom compressor + hartman flanger (rather than chorus) to make it because it is a vintage electro mistress clone, which is what Andy Summers used. I skip the EQ and all the bullshit. Three stompboxes is all you need to do it on stage: a good compressor, flanger (or chorus), and delay.

    • @themadmattster9647

  • @philipatoz
    @philipatoz Před 3 lety +5

    RJ, I think one thing that widely drove this '80s guitar sound to be widely used in studios, A) those chorus-type effects were relatively new and brought an interesting spatial dimension (IF used properly), and B) they were clean-sounding and easy to mix and blend - so engineers loved them. But while someone like Andy Summers was a genius at using them, others just made cheesy songs with them.

      @dunki-dunki-dawg Před měsícem +1

      Try using the ADA for lead solo tones. Basically run the chorus effect however set everything flat or as close to zero as possible. It turns the tone into that ''Liquid'' sound. 'Is This Love' solo is what I am talking about. It almost sounds like a doubler but in the same octave. For the neck PU sound it is wonderful and highly addictive.

I can also get Cure tones with my GT-100; another one of my favorites for guitar tones. The GT-100 can do more than 80's tones, but it does the '80s tones very well. IMO.

    Yep, the Stereo Chorus was and still is the big part of 80's New Wave (or Retro wave/ Synth Wave as people call it). Not only for guitars, back in the day we used to put synths through external Stereo Chorus pedals or rack fx with pretty awesome results. I write and record commercially licensed music as a composer (under performance rights organization, BMI, Inc) and if I am writing in any 80's New Wave / pop genres, I use a Fender Telecaster and Stereo Chorus Fx all the time. I also recommend the Flanger Pedal Fx (Listen to some of the band: "The Cure" albums from the 80s, their sound is all around Flanger Fx) Also Phase / Phasor pedal if you want late 70's/early 80's Funk / Pop / New Wave sounds.

    I never really cared for it in the 80's or any time until I was hanging out in the studio and the engineer and a guitar player were working out this sound with vintage gear and I instantly had an appreciation for it. They tried to get the same sound with plugins but had no soul.

    Great video! Do you think you can recreate this sound on, say, an HX Stomp, or a Kemper? I’d really be interested to use that sound in a live environment! - Shin from Japan

    Such an iconic sound, you did really well with it. I have grown to appreciate the 80's sound as I have aged and through session guitar players like Lukather and Tim Pierce. Awesome job!

    Man, I’m glad it wasn’t just me who went through this. I hated that sound, now, it’s the mainstay of my clean tone. Back then, I was obsessed with Nuno Bettencourt’s tone and Ty Tabor’s tone. Now, I’m using a lot less gain and more of a retro tone.

      Oddly enough, though, some of the stuff our friend was planning here reminded me of Ty Tabor's clean sound in tracks like "Summerland". But I hear what you're saying (you're talking about his dirty guitar sound).

      I absolutely agree. I never really cared for this tone in the 80’s. I was always into the hard stuff

      I think Ty used a bit more dirt, but certainly had that 80s chime.

    Loved that tone, and at the same time, I would ALWAYS hear that in every cover band here in the Philippines. It's like a default patch that we have here. :D
    Some of the songs I use this tone for:
    Another Day - Dream Theater
    All This Time - Tiffany
    Never Say Goodbye - Bon Jovi
