Glad you all like the video. Took months to order and receive the pedals needed (had to get the same models as what's in the booklet) and some showed up broken so I had to return and get new ones. They wanted around $900 for the vibrato so I just went with the Waza version which is still cool, just not vintage. Everything else is to spec though. Thanks again for watching.
For Beat it, the rhythm was Steve Lukather. I think Boss was solely speaking about the lead in Beat It because that was the only thing Eddie played on the song.
I think the Beat-it guide was intended for the Van Halen lead part only. The rhythm parts are not very distorted. They were played by Steve Lukather on a small Fender combo with the instruction: "don't turn it all the way up!".
I think that there's something worth remembering here. Back in the days of this booklet, "tone-chasing" wasn't the accurate thing we're all used to now. You kind of got most of the way there and you were pleased enough with the results. Kit was so expensive prior to VST's and DAW's etc you just had to work within a realistic budget and get what you got. Compared to what had been before, our ears were quite pleased with the results.
Great video! I wish I still had those little BOSS booklets. I think the later booklets had guitarists like Yngwie (HM pedal/EQ/Compressor/Sus/Delay) and Prince (OD/Chorus/Delay/Octave). Those booklets started my love for stomp boxes. You nailed the "Maniac" solo. Please do a part two.
This is such a helpful thing for new guitarist that are confused by all the different types of pedals available, which builds brand loyalty. Simply a brilliant sales trick
This version of the book must have come out right when the Heavy metal pedal was released. They're using it for all of them, and it sounds like none of them. I didn't realize these are rare, I have a couple of them.
Nice sounds, Mike! I've always thought that tone is even more important than licks. Btw, I think Boss pedals are great. Other pedals are great, too, but I've always been partial to Boss. Three must-have Boss pedals are: 1. CE-5 Chorus with which you can arrive at a variety of vintage sounds including classic Univibe, Electric Mistress, Ibanez CS9, and MXR M148 effects. You can also tailor your own signature chorus/leslie sounds whether subtle or thick. Very versatile! 2. CS-3 Compression Sustainer. While there are many good compressor pedals out there, the Boss CS-3 separates Sustain/Attack settings allowing you to dial-in everything from groundswell to very even leveling. It also allows you to add or detract high end frequencies and overall volume. 3. The greatest of them all, and one of the all time best processing pedals ever marketed by anyone at any price: the BD-2 Blues Driver. Everything from subtle bite to all-out hair, this pedal at any setting makes your guitar come to life. The range on this thing is truly astonishing and, in my opinion, beats the lauded Tube Screamer all to hell. Just stick these three pedals in the overpriced-but-sturdy Boss BCB-30X case (sorry, chain connectors and AC multi not included), and you have the essentials all in one easy-carry gig package. And, yes, I just described exactly what I own. I'm very biased 😉
I've been getting more into Boss pedals. I kind of turned up my nose at them in favor of more boutique stuff. But a lot of these Boss pedals just have a classic sound. We've heard so many of them on countless records. And the nice thing is, a lot of them are really cheap even if you buy the vintage versions.
I seriously can't believe Guitar Center took away the Boss pedal display. That was the most fun part of the whole store. You should hear the end of Every Breath You Take from the live version from 2008 - Certifiable. He is using about as much distortion Metallica and it actually sounds awesome.
@michaelreyes9997 Mine just has the new Boss pedals in a little glass display case with other brands... they used to have a huge all Boss board hooked up that you could play through all of them. As a huge Boss collector, I'd love one of those display boards.
Very cool! I have the same booklet, and have tried the settings in the past, but didn’t have all of the pedals. Nice to see (and hear) how it should’ve sounded. 😎
Man I just want to say thank you, I've been a supporter long before RUclips. I bought aeon sky by sanctus back in like 02 and it was wonderful!! Not to mention how awesome it was for me to see someone from America of Asian ancestry playing black metal or symphonic bm, never was sure how to label you guys!! Not to mention how awesome it was for me to see someone from America of Asian ancestry playing black metal even though I'm a white dude from Alabama it inspired me so, thank you and obviously I'm still a fan!! I watched this channel for 4 years before I realized who you were. It made my day so thank you.
Wow this just showed up in my main feed, even if I didn’t get a notification. Did you like talk to RUclips? Glad it it came into my main feed because it’s a really cool vid. Would have sucked if I missed it. You should do more like it if you can find more vintage guides with chains for any company.
🤔*Isn't there an "All-in-One" effects pedal that can be programmed to get whatever sound you want? All of these separate BOSS pedals are from the 80's. What modern guitar processor do you recommend today?*
Now you can sound like Trevor "Ravin" :) Seriously, booklet typos aside, a fun video. Definitely sounds like Schon's lead tone, and the "Owner" intro sounds spot on. Good call on the Police: that was too much distortion initially.
Trevor Rabin’s chain is something more reminiscent of his live rig, the studio recording was much more dry than that, just a DS-1 into two already cranked 2203’s, and a CE-2 and a compressor on the clean parts. Reverb was added in post
Love the Linnea Quigley workout shirt! 😊 Love this! They all sound super awesome! One thing I know for sure after watching this, my desire to own some pedals has increased at least ten fold haha 😂
My first pedalboard was built around EVH's tone and was almost entirely Boss pedals and it actually sounded really good. Aside from a Phase 90 and a TC Electronic delay, it was basically: CS3 > SD1 > DS1 > BF3 > RV5
Not only was this fun to watch, but I’ve gone my whole life without understanding what a compression pedal REALLY does. I get it completely now! Gonna have to add one to the already oversized arsenal.
You should do a series of tab videos for songs so people can learn them. I’ve always had a hard time finding anything other than popular Metallica songs so It’d be nice to be able to properly learn a lot more stuff from someone like u
ultimate guitar has tabs for almost any song you can think of, the only problem is they are user generated so they might not be as accurate as official tabs. but any songs you can think of will have tabs
It's so funny that you still have all this stuff. Like, I've had a bunch of similar stuff, but I've also had the good grace to lose it, like a normal guitar player.
Really interesting video; I have a lot of BOSS pedals and really like their build quality and modularity, or how they can be used together for different sounds. Great playing as well!
That's interesting about the CE3, because I was under the impression that NOBODY of any note ever played one. It's a very obscure box and the only one of its kind with the 3 knobs covering the LED.
It seems like they were trying to sell the HM pedal when the booklet came out 😆I agree though, the HM is a bit harsh and fizzy for 80s classic rock/metal tracks. What's more interesting to learn is the pedal order, which will inspire beginners and those new to pedals to get started. BTW the riff for Beat It is played by Steve Lukather, only the solo was Eddie, so for the crispness of the solo for that you can probably get away it. Also the solo in Separate Ways doesn't have any chorus on to my ears and definitely sounds cooler with delay on the rhythm!
Awesome stuff. I built a pretty damn close approximation to Andy Summers’ rig after many years of trying. It’s a dyna comp, into some kind of mellow overdrive, into an electric mistress into an echoplex delay. For a bit of flash I sometimes use a Qtron (Andy had a Mutron)
I was also fascinated way back, when i got to play in Oman way back in '92. There was a lot of Boss booklets that feautured different pedals (distortion, overdrives, delays etc...) and also had setting examples for different songs, like the ones Mike mentioned. I really related to this video, drooling for these Boss pedals. (Still do lol). Cheers!
One thing I notice on the intro to Owner Of A Lonely Heart.... on the album, the A chord just flows into the B. But when you play it, you're stopping the A, before playing the B. Still sounds good, just different.
Use the BOSS Line Switch pedal to create two different EFX chains. Then you can use the pedal knobs to mix in . For instance EVH used an MXR phase 90 phase shifter but mixed it in 50% wet dry. I added an EVH MXR Phase 90 phase shifter on line B and mixed it into my line A chain 50% and it gave the tone a nice subtle sweep. Deeeeeeeelicious!!!!
Sorry about the BOSS sponsorship comment lol... I was just breaking your chops. Let me tell you, I was once trying to chase the sound of Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days" and this video sort of reawakened that dream
Another thing to keep in mind is that these recordings could have had some post processing on the guitar track, which could be another of many variables to explain why your effects chain gets close but not exact.
Wow, thanks for the trip down the memory lane. I vividly recall studying that booklet, believing it would give me some real insight on how to get those sounds and tailor my own. Funny thing, at the time, I read an interview featuring Trevor Rabin, from Yes, and they talked about this effect book. I can’t recall if it was on Guitar World, or GFTPM, anyway if I recall correctly he said that he recorded the intro with his guitar plugged directly to an overdriven head or amp, dry, no effects. At least that’s what I think I recall. Later working as a musician gave me an insider’s perspective on how guitar sounds were actually recorded, not that many pedals in the studio. Regardless I enjoyed this video, brought back fond memories, thanks.
I remember some magazines had generic pedals with settings to get the tones of the tabs that were featured…of course I was always missing 1 or 2 pedals so I ended up with a half ass tone…ahh, memories 👍
I still have that booklet, stems from the 80's. I didn't have half of the pedals though, so never had the chance to try it out. Finally got my answer, nice vid!
Mike sir, just wanted to tell you about a new discovery I made if you are a connoisseur of chorus pedals (pedalii?)I've been using one called a Rocktron Tsunami I bought 20 years ago - it was the best I ever heard - totally smooth. They don't make it anymore but I tried out this one by a brand I never heard before called NUX - it's a vintage analog chorus and its lavender colored with 3 knobs and I couldn't believe how awesome it sounded and it's only $59. I put it through the effects loop on a 5150 combo and I couldn't believe it. It was unreal in my opinion - totally blew away some chorus pedals they had that were $200. The thickness and smoothness was amazing. I thought it smoked other analog chorus's like the MXR and Boss.
Hi Mike, great video! The Schon lead tone sounds is right on! I really like the white Jackson you're playing, it's a sharp guitar....which model is it? Thanks!
This was fun. They were definitely a little off with some of their tones, but they came close. Now, I don’t know if you were doing this, but I play through an AC30, and I think some of the tones could’ve been made closer or further from the tone you were seeking by adjusting the amp gain and EQ differently, then adjusting the volume with the output power knob.
Hello. Fun video, thank you. I’m sure you know that it was actually Steve Lukather who composed and played the rhythm parts on Beat It. I only mention it as some people think Eddie played all the guitar on it. A lovely day to all.
Fun video. [OT] You a Defender and Robotron fan? Where did you get the Defender sign? I had one a very long time ago and someone threw it out! Williams ruled! Best waste of my life ever! Obsessed. Made full clones on my 8-bits. Learned a lot. Cheers.
Funny how you've posted this video and I literally did a similar thing but from a little booklet I found from an old Total Guitar magazine. None of the tones were anywhere near what they were trying to be. I dialled in the Slash, Brian May, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica...... Absolute tosh. Funny how times have changed but in my eyes improved dramatically. I might try some of these using my GT100 board, I bet they'll sound different again.
It's not conclusive at all and yet you make me want to make the same test. I don't own all these Boss pedals but they are all available in my Boss Katana amp...lots of hours of wasted time in sight, thank you!
I think you would get closer to Andy's police tone with either the strat or a tele. The overdrive would react completely different to those guitars as opposed to the Jackson.
Glad you all like the video. Took months to order and receive the pedals needed (had to get the same models as what's in the booklet) and some showed up broken so I had to return and get new ones. They wanted around $900 for the vibrato so I just went with the Waza version which is still cool, just not vintage. Everything else is to spec though. Thanks again for watching.
That was my #1 thought on this video: did he just happen to still have all those pedals?!
It was worth the wait, loved the video!
That's dedication I would have just done them in the katana software
One of your best videos imo
Right call on that vibrato pedal lol. Vintage schmintage.
For Beat it, the rhythm was Steve Lukather. I think Boss was solely speaking about the lead in Beat It because that was the only thing Eddie played on the song.
I was just about to say I thought that the rhythm was Steve .
Paul Jackson Jr and Lukather. Jackson came up with the riff we all know Beat It for.
If I remember correctly, Eddie only did the guitar solo in Beat It, and Steve Lukather did the rhythm guitar.
You're right‼️✅‼️☑‼️
EVH was always throwing people off his tone, there was a comic strip that shows using the HM-2 direct into the console. Yeah sure he did lol!
@@quantumbuddhist correct, Paul Jackson Jr. was the other guitarist on Beat It (and the rest of Thriller)
This is a true statement.
I think the Beat-it guide was intended for the Van Halen lead part only. The rhythm parts are not very distorted. They were played by Steve Lukather on a small Fender combo with the instruction: "don't turn it all the way up!".

I learned how to tap by watching Michael Sembelo play "Maniac" on an episode of the show "Solid Gold". Man, I'm old.
I'll see your "old" and raise you! This November, I'll be 59 😲🤣
I did get the new video alert
Haha. Thank you for letting me know.
Same
Got it too😅🚨🔊💻🔊🚨😅

As a Boss fan boy, I quite enjoyed this video.
Same!
I have 73 pedals, all but 7 of them are Boss. And, I have the new Boss SDE-3 pedal on pre-order now.
This version of the book must have come out right when the Heavy metal pedal was released. They're using it for all of them, and it sounds like none of them.
I didn't realize these are rare, I have a couple of them.

Swap the HM for a DS-1 and you should have the early 80s Neal Schon sound.
You definitely make the coolest guitar content on RUclips. Thank you for all the hard work and creativity, and for educating us all.
Wow this just showed up in my main feed, even if I didn’t get a notification. Did you like talk to RUclips?
Glad it it came into my main feed because it’s a really cool vid. Would have sucked if I missed it. You should do more like it if you can find more vintage guides with chains for any company.
Holy cow. Blast from the past! I used to have that booklet back in the late 80s.
Some interesting stuff going on with these pedals. Always been a Boss pedal fan, sounded awesome on most of the tunes. Thanks!
I remember reading Michael Sembello used a very thin pick for the solo. One of the guitar mags back then had an article on it.
🤔*Isn't there an "All-in-One" effects pedal that can be programmed to get whatever sound you want? All of these separate BOSS pedals are from the 80's. What modern guitar processor do you recommend today?*
Always fun to hang out and watch your vids!!! 👍🏻
This is golden!!! I will be watching this over and over and working through it!!!
Now you can sound like Trevor "Ravin" :) Seriously, booklet typos aside, a fun video. Definitely sounds like Schon's lead tone, and the "Owner" intro sounds spot on. Good call on the Police: that was too much distortion initially.

Eddie was rumored to have used a modified Hartley Thompson solid state amp that he borrowed from Alan Holdsworth to record the Beat It solo.
Love the Linnea Quigley workout shirt! 😊
Love this! They all sound super awesome! One thing I know for sure after watching this, my desire to own some pedals has increased at least ten fold haha 😂
Another informative video, from a great teacher! Thanks Mike
They're always fun to watch

That’s every stomp pedal
Always loved Neal's guitar tone on each album, one of the few guitarists that captivate me whenever I hear em. Got kinda close:)
EVH did the lead for Beat It for free and when the record company found out they called Eddie and basically said “Dont F*cking do that!” 😂
Iirc didn't he do it for a 6 pack of beers? Lol
@@hunter00143yeah right
Great clip…love that Jackson. Thanks for the demo!
Good job on the video love the topic and love the follow through on what you know the songs
That's interesting about the CE3, because I was under the impression that NOBODY of any note ever played one. It's a very obscure box and the only one of its kind with the 3 knobs covering the LED.

That's why you see so many pictures of the guitar player sitting right in the booth with the engineer
Schon used Peavey Mace amps early on, and many people don't know he used a Roland Cube and a pedal for the Dont Stop Belev'in solo.
I was also fascinated way back, when i got to play in Oman way back in '92. There was a lot of Boss booklets that feautured different pedals (distortion, overdrives, delays etc...) and also had setting examples for different songs, like the ones Mike mentioned.

great playthrough, very informative
Boss, Fulltone, MXR, EHX, EQD, and Walrus Audio...OK, and Mooer, plus one or two other effects makers, are the stuff! 😁
I had a book years ago that had various artists and their settings that was useful called Guitar One Presents Effects and Settings
Loved this video Mike
Sorry about the BOSS sponsorship comment lol... I was just breaking your chops.
Let me tell you, I was once trying to chase the sound of Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days" and this video sort of reawakened that dream
Breaking chops? Perhaps you meant "busting" of said chops?
Another thing to keep in mind is that these recordings could have had some post processing on the guitar track, which could be another of many variables to explain why your effects chain gets close but not exact.
My (almost) 2 year old watched the video with me and said there is a cat on your shirt 😂
Wow, thanks for the trip down the memory lane. I vividly recall studying that booklet, believing it would give me some real insight on how to get those sounds and tailor my own.

Regardless I enjoyed this video, brought back fond memories, thanks.
I definitely agree about only using the delay for the solo. It would get buried and muddy in the mix on the rhythm parts. Fun video. Really goid idea!
The riff in Beat it was Steve Lukather, Eddie just did the solo.
Great video. Love the Boss CS2. The Strat sounds great!
Mike, I have a handful of compressors (Xotic, MXR, Wampler) ... do you think the Boss one is worthwhile?
I remember some magazines had generic pedals with settings to get the tones of the tabs that were featured…of course I was always missing 1 or 2 pedals so I ended up with a half ass tone…ahh, memories 👍
Remember going online and listening to all the demos of distortion
Crazy cray cray. I used to, or still have that same Boss booklet. Gonna have to check my 89 Stat case.
Can’t wait till you get to the Boss Harmonizer ! 🎸
i have that same vox amp, i really love it as a pedal platform, especially for fuzz
I still have that booklet, stems from the 80's. I didn't have half of the pedals though, so never had the chance to try it out. Finally got my answer, nice vid!
Mike sir, just wanted to tell you about a new discovery I made if you are a connoisseur of chorus pedals (pedalii?)I've been using one called a Rocktron Tsunami I bought 20 years ago - it was the best I ever heard - totally smooth. They don't make it anymore but I tried out this one by a brand I never heard before called NUX - it's a vintage analog chorus and its lavender colored with 3 knobs and I couldn't believe how awesome it sounded and it's only $59.

Hi Mike, great video! The Schon lead tone sounds is right on! I really like the white Jackson you're playing, it's a sharp guitar....which model is it? Thanks!
The Robotron and Defender signs, though! Are you building an arcade in your studio? ❤
I remember having that booklet in the day and being a big YES fan, had a chuckle that they misspelled Trevor Rabin's surname!
This was fun. They were definitely a little off with some of their tones, but they came close. Now, I don’t know if you were doing this, but I play through an AC30, and I think some of the tones could’ve been made closer or further from the tone you were seeking by adjusting the amp gain and EQ differently, then adjusting the volume with the output power knob.
Hey could you do a vid about you guitar collection? Keep like this man💪🏻
The world of effects and pedalboards is fascinating and fun!
what a fun video!!!
loved it!!! yes, the last one by far the closest and more fun to play.
I had one of those books it came with a boss pedal yeah little over 20 years ago
Hello. Fun video, thank you. I’m sure you know that it was actually Steve Lukather who composed and played the rhythm parts on Beat It. I only mention it as some people think Eddie played all the guitar on it. A lovely day to all.
Great video! Thanks for this info
Damm im really considering getting the compressor sustainer after watching this video
Me too, my Strat has a hard time keeping sustain at a lower volume
@@rondomartin7786 you can get the Behringer copy for less than $30
Great video idea and good work on it!
Killer Linnea Quigley shirt !!! She's my fave!! Such a cool person to meet! Cool vid too!
Bad Dad Joke would be a good name for a dad band
Great video! I saw Pat Metheny listed as one of the artists...could you provide the specs on his setup?
Wow.i remember that book. We used to drool over it . HM-2 was my first pedal. Fun video
Loved this. Great idea thanks Mike
Fun video. [OT] You a Defender and Robotron fan?
Where did you get the Defender sign? I had one a very long time ago and someone threw it out!
Williams ruled! Best waste of my life ever! Obsessed. Made full clones on my 8-bits. Learned a lot. Cheers.
Funny how you've posted this video and I literally did a similar thing but from a little booklet I found from an old Total Guitar magazine.

Funny how times have changed but in my eyes improved dramatically. I might try some of these using my GT100 board, I bet they'll sound different again.
Wow, I had no idea these booklets existed. Thanks for posting this. Interesting that the spelled Trevor Rabin's name wrong. "Ravin" at 4.54
It's not conclusive at all and yet you make me want to make the same test. I don't own all these Boss pedals but they are all available in my Boss Katana amp...lots of hours of wasted time in sight, thank you!
I love Boss so much I bought a Boss Katana 50 watt amp, and it kicks ass.
Did the booklet have any suggestions for pick up, volume tone settings?
I wish he did some swedish death metal bands becouse they would only need 1 pedal for everyone of them. The hm2
Chainsaw time is best time 🤘
I think you would get closer to Andy's police tone with either the strat or a tele. The overdrive would react completely different to those guitars as opposed to the Jackson.
Thank you Mike. That was pretty cool.
This video makes me want to buy a Boss Compression Sustainer. 😎😎
I still use the DD-2 and CS-2, old pedals but hard to beat to this day!
The old Zoom 9002 used to totally nail “Owner of a Lovely Heart.”
very few of your videos have been showing up in my feed
Thanks guy at guitar center back in the day!
Hit or miss, either way it was a lot of fun -make a series like this!
