How To Get Ritchie Blackmore's Deep Purple MKIII Sound - You Fool No One

- "You Fool No One" by request from my friend Mauro of the great Five Doctors Band! :) Check them out on Facebook for amazing Deep Purple covers.
By 1973 Ritchie Blackmore had replaced not only Gillan and Glover but his Hornby Skewes booster and main Strats as well. Fender had made no changes in pickup construction at the time so we can assume that the bulk of the sound was very similar to his MK2 Strats. Other factors like the die-cast tremolo bridge/saddles and ash body also affect the sound but in a more subtle way.
The real change in tone was driven by the AIWA TP-1011 that he modified to use as a preamp platform in front of his factory-modded Marshall Major.
Leave a comment if interested in the amp or pedal as I build both to order using high quality parts and accurate circuits that faithfully reproduce the sound of the originals.
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you liked the video.
* Guitar parts are approximate. Backing track extracted with Riffstation.
Echo effect added in ProTools. No EQ was needed in Post.
* Some of Blackmore's fills are in the same frequency range as the vocals and I couldn't remove them properly from the backing track. So I left the original parts.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - you do the absolute best Blackmore covers out there
Thanks so much, Anton! 😊🎸🎸🎸
Agreed Anton , Max is the best and his pedals are awesome and build like tanks !
@@lousekoya1803 Thanks Lou!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

one of my favourite RB's solos! great playing Max!!!
Thanks Eric! :))
Awesome, nailed it again!
Thanks Darrin!!
thank you for your info,great playing as always
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
SUPER NICE SIR, IM WAITING FOR THE “BURN” SOLO , Cheers From Indonesia🤘🏻
Thank you! It’s actually a great idea! 👍🏻🎸🎸🎸
You are Blackmore shredmaster. Awesome job!
Thank you so much! 🎸🎸🎸
One of my favorites, you really nailed the solo. Great sound on guitar. Thanks.
Glad you liked it, Joseph! Thanks a lot :)
As always you are spot on with your tone. I am interested whether you work out RB's solos yourself as every note and nuance is accurate and played perfectly. I am in awe. Well done. Cheers from Melbourne Australia.
Thanks so much Robert, I appreciate your comment! I do analize the solos myself as I got used to do back when turntables could slow down LP records to 16rpm. I use Riffstation now, it's really good, it isolates and slows down the guitar parts without shifting the pitch of the song. Those small details in the playing are easier to hear and that helps a lot in making it sound like the original. For some reason Fender bought Riffstation and killed it. It was not perfect but I don't see a lot of alternatives either! Cheers, M.
Now this is as good as the original ;)
Thanks Adam! Glad you liked it!
Another great video Max !! You play Blackmore so good ! Cheers..

Thank you Robert!

Thanks a lot 😊🎸👍🏻
Fantastico Fantastico Fantasticooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...che bel suono Max..bravissimo!!!!!
Ahahah...grazie mille Mauro! :D :D
@@mgalbu Ma sei italiano?
Si! 😊🎸🎸🎸
@@mgalbu Felicissimo di avere un italiano così 'blackmoriano', almeno so a chi chiedere e magari capisco pure le risposte 😁
Ciao Vigilius ti consiglio di prendere i booster che fa Massimo come ho fatto io...Made in Japan e Made in Europe saranno nelle tue mani..credimi..
Mi ha anticipato Max...volevo chiederti Burn anch'io ma con riff iniziale...dai lo so che sei forte, unico al mondo...Major Forever!!!!
Ahahah...grazie Mauro...è una bella idea a condizione che mi perdoni se non ho la Strato giusta...mi servirebbe una come quella che hai te per fare Burn! :D
Non ti serve la Strato giusta...hai le mani giuste!!!!!
Sweet! Is your whammy bar custom made? If so where’d you get it? Does it fit in the stock trem bridge?
Thank you! I made it myself following advice from my friend @mowjay. I have a video on my channel on how to do it with simple tools. Unfortunately the tap I had has broken since then.
i was wondering if you would go after the R.B. Mark 3 sound............. i should have known...........nailed it, of course. wb
Ahah, thanks!! 🎸🎸🎸
Sound fantastic! I've long thought that is a very underrated song by Purple too.
BTW - Do you have any experience using that Tp-1011 pedal with humbucker equipped guitars? I play a Gibson Explorer through a black panel 60s style 50 watt Fender Bassman I built myself. I've been looking around for a while for a nice boost pedal to add a little 'color' to the front end.
Hi Matt, thanks! I have not tried it with humbuckers but from what others have said I think it should work fine with your setup! Cheers, M.
Great job, subscribed!!
Thanks Rachel! :)
Burn is probably my favourite Blackmore album so I'm tempted by the Aiwa pedal, but I also LOVE the tone he got on Made in Japan, and on tracks like No, No, No (at The Beat Club). I run a Marshall 100w JMP Master Volume head into a 4x12 with G12-80s, which pedal do you think would give me the most options?
Hi! To be honest you can't really get the MK2 sound with the MK3 Aiwa pedal, but the Aiwa preamp is more versatile than the MK2 booster. You really need both! :D
I'll give you a discount if you're interested.
Cheers,
Max
@@mgalbu You sell and make the AIWA Booster?
@@rongarza1974 yes, I do! Cheers, M.
@@mgalbu How does one get in contact!? 😀
@@rongarza1974 mgalbusera285 at gmail! 😅
Amazing playing and tone! Would you be able to do a tone breakdown, how the raw amp sounds, then with the AIWA & treble booster style pedal applied?
Wow amazing!
Any chance you can do the second solo?
@@ppg7777 Thank you! That’s a great idea, stay tuned! 🎸🎸🎸
Thank you very much for this great video! It just remebered me to listen to more Deep Purple Songs. I just have to ask, what did Blackmore change on his Major 200 ? Is it just something for more power?
Thank you so much! Yes, Blackmore was looking for more power as well as a specific tone that the stock Major couldn't deliver. So the guys at the Marshall factory did a series of modifications till he was happy with the sound and loudness, in combination with either the modified Hornby Skewes booster ('69-'73) or the modified AIWA preamp ('73-now). Cheers, M.
More guitar in the mix please!!!
Are you listening in stereo? The guitar is panned all the way to the left like in the original. Could that be the reason? I checked with car speakers, computer speakers, phone speakers, headphones and it all seemed to me very close to the original mix levels...let me know!
@@mgalbu yes in stereo. On 3 different sources now. Just a bit buried under the drums and vocals on the rhythm guitars, I’d like to hear that tone in all its glory ;)
@@andyc5729Sorry about that! I always struggle with the mixing part... 😅
Thank you!
This is awesome, great tone! Exactly what model CS strat do you have?
Thank you, glad you liked it! The black one is a Closet Classic 69, the sunburst a ‘71 that I custom ordered. Cheers, M.
@mgalbu, how did you scallop your Sunburst Stratocaster. It looks unique. Thank you.
Thanks! I did it following pictures of Blackmore’s work on his. I masked the frets with tape and used several different files. I finished it with sandpaper 1000 grit. 👍🏻
Great vid as always. Could you post a isolated guitar vid please?
Glad you liked it! Can't promise anything, will try and find the time! Cheers, M.
Can this pedal get a decent 'Live at the California Jam' type tone? If so, I'd be keen to purchase one. Great playing by the way!
Thank you! Yes, this pedal nails the Cal Jam sound very well. It was one of my reference points when I first worked on it. 👍🏻
Come sempre rasenti la perfezione :) Bellissimi suoni e tocco fantastico! Sarei interessato all'acquisto del pedale, dove posso contattarti?
Grazie mille Luke! Sei troppo gentile :)
La mia gmail è mgalbusera285, mi puoi contattare direttamente. Grazie ancora! 🎸🎸🎸
@@mgalbu ti ho appena scritto! :)
Hello! First of all, nice playing, your tone is perfect! I want to ask you some questions about Blackmore's tone. Can I contact you by e-mail?
Thanks Fred! Sure, email me to mgalbusera285 at gmail. Cheers, M.
I’m curious how your guitar’s controls are set here!
8.5 for the intro, the rest on 10! Cheers, M.
You should've been slightly louder in the mix 🙂
@@gregangyal3890 I agree…! 😖
