    It is great to actually hear Wolf talk. His English is really good. Wolf is an influence, one of my guitar heroes I modeled my metal sound after ( or tried to, anyway). He and Jorg had this great, raw buzz saw sound back in the 80s.

      That's why I like European bands. Imagine an American band singing German, Swedish, Finnish, etc. Obviously it's for the market but Europeans have to write and sing songs in their second language and still very native sounding.

    Been listening since Restless & Wild & Saw them in 1985 on the Metal Heart tour & went to a Wendy's drive through after the show & all of the sudden their tour bus pulls in. Met Udo & Peter for a minute & just got a thumbs up from Wolf as he walked back to the bus. It was after 11:00 pm & they wouldn't let anyone inside the restaurant . Awesome show !!!!!!!!

    Big fan of Wolf Hoffmann. His pedal setup is very interesting but I would have loved to have seen more detail on what pedals he's using, as well as some detail into what kind of amp he uses. Only saying this because IMHO he has the best tone of any metal guitarist out there.

  • @antoninsalva6647
    @antoninsalva6647 11 лет назад +3

    Wolf´s Mutron Octave Divider is replaced by Salvation Mods Vivider pedal.
    This pedal was designed directly for Wolf, specifically to replace and improve upon his Mutron Octave Divider. It uses the same circuitry, but it is in smaller package, with true bypass and compatible with common 9V power supply (built in voltage pump).

  • @themodernguitarist
    @themodernguitarist 11 лет назад +5

    The big pedal on the bottom left is an Eventide Time Factor. The one on the bottom right is either a Boss NS-2. The upper-most one is an ISP Decimator. The big blue pedal is an Analogman Chorus. Not too sure on the 2 other ones.

    Restless and Wild album, last song, "Princess Of The Dawn."
    That entire album is perhaps one of the best in metal. It thrashes and headbangs and chug-chug-chugs its way to Glory. Classic.

    In what part of the world is Wolf underrated? James Hetfield cites him as the reason why he in the beginning of Metallica only played white flying vs. Even Jeff waters says he is a fan.
    The whole world knows that Wolf is the Godfather of heavy metal riffing.

    • @peteloomis8456

      No that would be Toni Iommi of black Sabbath ! Another great player & uses a flying V is Michael Shenker ! Listen to the 2012 live Rock Bottom as it has a very long guitar solo ! If your not familiar with Michael Shenker he was the one who started the Scorpions with his brother stepping in then some years later quit & went solo & he used to say that when playing in front of a audience he was scared as hell & could hardly take it & one way to over come his fear was to drink heavily which nearly killed him until he quit all together drinking & touring but has made a come back again sober & good as ever .

    Wolf I am humbled because I have never heard in my ear a tone that drives me more than the tone on BALLS TO THE WALL. Off the studio album I can not decifer EL34 or 6L6. Back in the day I was running a Boogie mark 111 and still couldn't pull of the gain and low end at the same time. I have nothing to offer but if you could get me started on that old baseline tone I would appreciate it.

    A lot more reverb than I would have thought. Wolf has a great tone, just as good as Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Maybe even better tone. I bought the Bogner La Grange to try and emulate that similar tone. It's not as easy as it sounds.
