[QUOTE="mikegyver, post: 147565, member: 3148"] Yeah I kinda messed up the we will rock you part, but the goal was to show the tone so whatever. The guitar and 'box' thing I used are key to get that Queen tone. The guitar is a G&L strat with Adeson Trisonic pickups (replicas of the original pickups Brian May uses) that are wired in Brian May style (3 switches, 3 phases). The 'box' is a treble booster (the brand I use is close to a replica of the vintage one brian may used too) called the Fireplace Classic by Covington pedals I think. Treble booster adds a little signal/OD/balls to the signal for a little more gain and adds a little high end magic to the tone (because the original AC30s were dark sounding). The pickups played in most of the Queen parts were: all 3 pickups on, with neck out of phase. That gives it the right character, slightly nasal with unique harmonic content. All the parts together plus a celestion blue (preferred) or greenback make up the magic sauce that is the Queen tone. This is why most guys plug into a Vox Amp or Vox module with their Les Paul and try to play Queen riffs and don't sound good or 'right'. Thanks for the listen though, glad you got something out of it [/QUOTE]
