That was an awesome demo Kristian and I loved the tune! You should do a video of the Tyler guitar in the video going over all its specs and tones ;-) I do have a question... Since there is capability to have presets, does each preset retain the EQ settings per preset, or is is just a channel preference with the extra boost engaged?
Stunning sound and playing with lots of Luke-isms thrown in absolutely free! Also thanks for the little settings tips you have for some of the effects. Will try them out. Especially the detune just one side.
First, Kristian...I love my dogs just like you. Please accept my sincere condolences. It just sucks. About the preamp: Sounds great! But you do make anything sound great!!! You are such a great talent.
Killer chops, killer tones. You have a style of your own, but you def also evoke vibes of all the amazing 80's studio guys..Luke, Landau, Huff, Pierce..great stuff! Subscribed. 👍
@@KristianLarsenGuitar Dang it. Next target acquired. Amazing video, dude. Already watched it a few times. I know how much time and work goes into content like this and you killed it. Playing, tone, and editing is all superb.
@@BrendanMowatSmith haha nice! Can't wait to see how you like it if you do decide to get one 🤙 Man thanks from the bottom of my heart! Really! You and I both know how it feels to be a one-man team. It has its ups and downs for sure. I pretty much enjoy everything about recording a song but the video editing is just killing my soul lol.
Thank you, Ben! I pretty much hop back and forth between my Mesa Quad and the D100 pre. The D100 has thicker mids than the Mesa and is slightly more "modern" sounding in general. I love them both though!
What great sound , perfect playing ,very very good. where do find or bought you retro channel , i cannot find any offers or information about this power amp. i would be very intersted int it ?
@@ewaldnickl8866 Thank you very much! You unfortunately can't buy the Retro channel anymore and I have never seen one come up on the used market either. I don't think very many were made. Since filming this video I've switched to a Mesa 295. Both sound great!
What's your adv8ce to getting the best base guitar clean tone for the tri stereo chorus sound? Tyler pickups in parallel. I have a modded dbx160 comp going into a dynamic my piano chorus..eventide h3000dse...lexicon pcm 70...how do u get that crazy glassy tone you hear on so many 80s recordings were they straight to mixer? Any bit helps
A huge part of that tone is using the Tyler spec'd demeter preamp at its lowest setting. It makes it sparkle! And yeah, if you go direct you will instantly get that crystal clear clean tone. Everything you hear in this song is mic'd up except for the clean (dotted eighth note delay) part a 4:12.
@@hildebart Oh I see! Thanks for the clarification. I actually have seen some of his videos before. His Swedish accent is way thicker than mine though haha :)
@@KristianLarsenGuitar is this capable of vintage Marshall tones or is it just a high gain beast? How usable is the 3'rd channel? I had a new Brunetti Mille CR and the 3rd channel was completely unusable
@@youscreamiscream it's definitely capable of lower gain Marshall tones. Using the first or the second channel. Channel 3 is great too. I usually use channel 2 for most of my playing though.
Bonsoir Kristian, je devrais dire Amadeus KRISTIAN. Je vous suis depuis des années (Reprise onirique et Dieu sait à quel point c'est compliqué c'est complexe et technique de Yellow Jackets) et j'adore votre jeu de guitare. Vous êtes juste Merveilleux, merci pour le bonheur que vous me donnez à chaque fois que j'écoute vos morceaux ! Olivier
Thank you! It's taken me about 15 years to collect the gear you see in my videos. I don't have a lot of money tbh and I am lucky to have bought most of my stuff before the huge increase in prices we see today. For example I bought my H3000 for about a 1/3rd of the price for what they're going for today. Most vintage rack gear has sky-rocketed in price the past 3-4 years unfortunately.
Fantastisk låt o demo. Jag är intresserad av en sån där preamp, men jag kan inte hitta någon djupare teknisk info/manaul. Går inte att ladda hem från deras sida. Har mailat dom, inget svar...
Tack så mycket! Om du har instagram så kan du nå Luca direkt där : instagram.com/lucabaratella?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ== Om inte så kan jag kolla med honom och se vad han säger 👍
Fantastic demo, great sounding gear. I’m really impressed with both your playing and the sounds you’re getting. My only critique would be for how this preamp is being marketed. To be fair it’s not really a 3 channel preamp, it’s effectively a two channel preamp with a switchable gain stage in the lead channel. IMHO, the EQ settings you’d want for a med-high gain rhythm part are going to be.a lot different than what you’d want for lead playing, so you effectively have 1 gain channel unless you use an external EQ unit. It’s still an absolutely fantastic sound preamp, though.
I never found that I wanted to change the EQ between channel 2 and 3. The EQ/BOOST is awesome for any changes to the sound between the channels. YMMV ofc!

I'm lost for words. Absolutely superb, my friend. You should be very proud of yourself for that composition- truly wonderful!
Thank you Rich! So happy that you like the song.

Thank you for your kind words, Jeff!
Ooof ! I wasn’t prepared. Amazing as always ! Those lead chords sound nasty !!
Prepare thy anus for a doesage of schmoooo
Always love your tone vintage vibe...and the only dude with gear as cool as mine...keep it up brother
Intro is incredible! So much going on, fantastic playing. Subscribed!
Sounds fantastic. Love the intro tune. I’ve followed you on RUclips for quite a few years now. Your Landau/Huffinspired style is insanely good. 😎👍👏🤘
Thank you so much!
Just amazing! You are totally the perfect reviewer for that preamp! Really well played. Cheers Kristian! 👌
Sounds frickin great!!
Thank you RJ!! Coming from a tone-connoisseur like yourself means a lot to me!
Absolutely amazing arrangment and playing bro, with so many nuances and accents!
Thank you man!

My gosh this is absolutely killer. Huge tone and chops. Congrats and please keep posting!
Man, thanks so much! More content will be coming soon!
Great vid and playing man! How does it compare to the CAE3+?
Beautiful song, Kristian. Super comprehensive demo. I didn't need another fuzz and wish you hadn't added that part, though. Sounds amazing.
Thank you, Brendan! ♥️
Sorry not sorry ;D
But seriously, the BAE hot fuzz ROCKS!

Definitely more content like this will come this year!
Great to see you back Brother. What a performance. That sounded F---n Amazing. Thank You maestro 🙏
Thank YOU!
I love this video so much. Great work! Now that a year has past, how much are you playing this preamp vs your other gear?
Thank you, Ben! I pretty much hop back and forth between my Mesa Quad and the D100 pre. The D100 has thicker mids than the Mesa and is slightly more "modern" sounding in general. I love them both though!
UGH! I feel like its the 80ies all over again.
Are Shiva audio effects available anywhere? Seems like the website is down. :(
Redseven is the new name of Shiva basically. You might be able to find some on the used market. But they're highly rare to find.
My ears are in sonic heaven
Gotta go fast! Thanks boi!

Unbelievable man wow ❤❤❤
Dude!!! This was just fantastic! We need more $
New track is almost done! Thanks man!
Great playing as always Kristian. I really enjoy listening to you playing
Don't sell the 3+ ;)
I've been debating selling the 3+. That preamp has a special place in my heart for sure.
I loved pretty much EVERYTHING about that!! :)
Haha I'm glad to hear that!
Awesome Kristian!! 😎🎸🙌
Another level ♥️♥️♥️
Lovely swell & beautiful solo👍
Big tone
Loved it! Sounds Awesome! Thanks for bringing so great music to the world👌
You are most welcome, Iam! More to come!
Absolutely brilliant!
You are a huge inspiration Kristian !!! I fucking love your videos , you should make an album !!! I will be the first to buy it
Thank you so much, Stefanos! I have lots of fun stuff planned for this year. Will definitely be uploading more content soon.

"Lets Go." at 17:20 STOLEN from johann Segeborn. Nice video as always
I have no idea who that is but sure! 😅
@@KristianLarsenGuitarHe’s a Swede who tests loads of vintage Marshall amps in particular on his RUclips channel. 🤓
@@hildebart Oh I see! Thanks for the clarification. I actually have seen some of his videos before. His Swedish accent is way thicker than mine though haha :)
@@KristianLarsenGuitar He has a very thick Swedish accent yes. His RUclips channel is quite cool. :D
WOW! Amazingly done!
Thanks man!
Sounds great!
so much joy and inspiration. You really rocks @kristianlarsen
Three insane preamp in that rack! Which one would you choose if you had to keep only one ?
Quad ? CAE ? or RedSeven?
The redseven is my fav for sure. They all have their own thing going for them though!

capable of vintage Marshall tones or is it just a high gain beast?

Yes, hello. Redseven? Yeah it's me, give me two of these thank you luv you, bye bye.
You know you need one ;D
steve's brodie)) Good Tone Man!
were you running cabless or with a cab
Using cabs and microphones!
Crisp
Thall.
Yes, definitely :)
Do you prefer it to your Cae preamp or mesa quadpreamp?
Indeed! The D100 is my fav.
F king amazing!
Is this inspired by the CAE 3+?
They both have three channels and a similar eq/boost section. But they sound and feel very different from each other!
First
Can we agree that listening to this tones being high is a plus... hahahahaha
Intro to the song sounds very "I'm A Believer" by Giant
Definitely!
Do you produce yourself and how do you do it
kidding, but it sounds very awesome! nice tone as always
@@bfnmusic2517 Haha thanks man!
Awesome.
Thank you David! Hope the rack tones are up to snuff ;D
@@KristianLarsenGuitar They are.
Air piano FTW
3:23 Ze waving hand haha!
Haha you're the first one to notice it!
25:30 BALANCE ERA TONE RIGHT THERE
That JOOZY detune
@@KristianLarsenGuitar I can replicate that sound with the Line 6 Helix, but MAN, ya just can't beat the analog rack gear 😍😍😍
1:00 your song bro ???
@@ErickRocksBrGt It sure is!
Amazing! I wish the review would be more Raw without effects in order to appreciate the preamp. Sounded wonderful but pretty processed tone.
Thanks! There are no effects added except for delay (and the parts where I added my rack FX). I never play without delay so it is what it is :)
That Pre Amp is $2,600
It's a premium piece of kit for sure.
Ok - --- big question ---- how much is it ? ❤️🎸
£1,800 ? For a pre amp ? Mmmm anyone got any thoughts on the price ? I don’t thinks it’s that bad but ! - Axefx 3 territory FM9 !
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yeah it's a premium piece of gear for sure.
Axe FX is great too. It depends on what your needs are.
