This is not your average RUclips video... it's a ROCKUMENTARY.
I knew Jose fairly well. Before he opened that store he worked out of the back of a guitar store I took lessons & eventually taught out. It was on Lassen & Mason called BJ’s. It was owned by an ex-cop & the main teacher was Dave Bunch (who took lessons from Ted Greene - another story) lots of stuff came out of that store & Jose was the sweetest guy. Did some work for me & I regret selling that amp. I’m 60 now & grew up in the valley. It’s was the greatest time to be a kid & into music, as many of us were.
This is a terrific documentary of a great amp. What a sound. It's hard to believe Steve moved on from this. It sounds about perfect. Guitar players are never happy LOL.
This video is SOLID GOLD. Thank you, Pete!
This video is an instant classic
I love Steve Vai. Pete asked him 1 question on how he came in contact with this amp and Steve gave us 1 whole chapter of his life history. 👍🤘.
Interesting stuff. After servicing and modifying 1000's of tube amps over the years, having owned and ran The Audio Doctor in Vancouver,, for about 20 years 80's-2000, I have learned a few things. The output transformer can radically alter the frequency response and dynamic response. I serviced Jimmy Pages Marshalls and studio processing gear when he was in Vancouver recording, back in the 90's. One of "those" famous 50W Marshalls needed a new output transformer. The Canadian distributor was out of stock. I put in a Partdrige O/P transformer (50W Hiwatt), all I had in stock at the time, which worked fine but it sounded like a Hiwatt, you know, kinda bright and sassy, to my ears. I was a bit worried, but Page loved it. Side note: The output amplifier section of a Dumble Steel String Singer was identical to an Ampeg V-4 ( 7027 output tubes). And I agree, the higher the plate voltage, the more spank, a Marshall has. Let's have more of these discussions, please.
Beautiful video
Awesome🤟🤟🤟
Amazing work.. congrats...
i used to go to his shop .... he fixed and modded one of my amps ; sometimes do a little drinking with him...... he told me and my friend when we were at the shop that when he worked for Ampeg he was the "Amp Guy " on the Rolling Stones '69 American tour and you can see his bald head behind the Ampegs in the Stones movie Gimmie Shelter in the Madison Square Garden footage before the Altamont gig
I love Vai's playing during his DLR era. It was so inventive that I never get tired listening to it.
This is why we have RUclips! Great niche content for fans
I called Jose Arredondo in 1984, and wanted him to mod my JCM800, and we had a long conversation about Marshalls not having enough gain, and he said he added more gain in his mods but he was not doing them anymore , since he was getting paid by Steve And Eddie not to. I could not believe he was telling me this, but it made sense, not having the competition get a hold of the sound everybody wanted.
Dave Friedman looks like Brian Dennehy when he filmed “Tommy Boy”.
Is this the first time seeing Dave Friedman actually playing a guitar on RUclips?!
Pete's playing is so melodic and beautiful, you sort of forget he can shred his ass off. But yep, he can. Great video!
What a beautiful interview with Vai! Thank you so much Pete for this great content
One of most informative,coolest videos you have ever made Pete... and you’ve made a lot of them!
As much as COVID sucks, the access that we have gained to all the legendary guitarists has been such a silver lining. Steve Vai, Andy Timmons, etc. have been opening the flood-gates with performances, teaching, rock history, and in-depth gear videos that I don't think would have ever been made, if it weren't for shelter-at-home. Thanks for bringing this to us Pete!
