    🟢CORRECTION: The Huff guitar pickups do NOT split. The "split" is changing from series to parallel. It's different.

    Hey guys, whenever Michael says "split" he is in parallel mode. It is still humbucking and no noise. Also it is a different sound that split. On a Studio Elite with a Lead/Rhythm circuit we use switches to do series and parallel as well as split for even more tonal variations.

    Dann did a session for my dad around 1988 he had three Tyler modded Fender Strats.
    His rack was a Bradshaw rack using the Rocktron/ Bradshaw RSB 18 which was recently sold after being featured on Tom Bukovacs channel.

    Re: Dann Huff signature models--- Actually- there were at least 2 Dann Huff named models / signature models etc in the early 90's - one by Schecter and another by PRS. And then in mid / late 90's you could order a black Tyler Classic in standard/custom or either Landau or Huff config...or their Ultimate Weapon model w/ HH Dann Huff-spec pickups. 👍

    • @saulocorrea8399
      @saulocorrea8399 Před 4 měsíci +1

      80s guitar can be translated into a very unique type of expression of musicality. So much so that over time, there was no record of anything that was even remotely similar.
      Marked by an overdrive with little saturation and a lot of gain, which is typical in power ballads (see Dan Huff, Adrian Vanderberg, Steve Lukather), a delay that gave the dynamics and most importantly, which I think is the hallmark of the 80s: the chorus.
      Chorus as an effect is the hallmark of the 80s. If guitarists didn't know how to use it so well on the bases, especially, it wouldn't be so special. The sparkle effect of the Chorus is what marks the shine of the 80's guitar.

    That was the solo to "Look Away" - wasn't it? Fun fact: that song was written by Dianne Warren and originally intended for Europe on their 1989 Out of this world-album. Ron Nevison played it to the band but lead singer Joey Tempest turned it down since he didn't wanna work with outside writers. It was a no.1 single with Chicago instead.
