Great, in-depth looks of the tones for of a great player. What you mist though, is Gauss level in pickup. Mr Y wore nearly 140lb of cheap alloy finger ear and neck jewel which is of magneticism and in sound of pickup. And tonely signifricant, string of amp in back looking of sound. Double of import to copy for make real. I do not criticitisise great video for finding and detective make answer 👍🏻 Please forgive of my English - I'm English.
Maybe using bluguitar amp 1 ( vintage ) with jhs overdrive preamp achieved the sound you looking for because mercury amp 1 is more towards to vintage plexi tone but not modern tone
Straight up, that wasn’t the tone. Shades of it, maybe? I blame the Origin, be it the amp or the way it was set. You need a fair bit more gain coming out of the amp before you slam it with the 250. Then, the pickups help a lot. I run a JCM2000 on the lead 1, gain around 3/4, and any iteration of the 250/308/Fender YJM and it’s just THERE. The little VS100 in my garage even does a serviceable job at speech volumes.
A little too muddy to be a Malmsteen tone in my opinion. The eq is spot on. You’re close but something in one of the gain stages is just not right. Don’t know if it’s in the amp or the od pedal.
The British mentality that makes them apologise to the lamppost for walking into it is the same British mentality that makes them hesitant at cutting open a box!
@Andertons Music Co 3:29 The YJM Fury pickups are made by Seymour Duncan. The dimarzios Are HS3 and HS4 (formerly known as YJM model used for the neck) the 1st pickups he used when he moved to the USA were dimarzio FS1 as seen in his alcatrazz backstage video (1984).
@@ij8502 Both the YJM Fury and Dimarzio HS3/HS4 are stacked coils. Dimarzio HS3 - 23.72k Ohm Duncan YJM - 25.7k Ohm. Despite minimal difference in DC resistance you are correct. The YJM is waaay hotter than the HS3. I have both the HS3 and YJM fury pickups. I prefer the HS3 as they sound like true single coils.
Lol. So accurate. I knew a kid in HS who was a true shredder ; took lessons for a year to just play black star. Still can’t play it today correctly. Lol
As a fanboy of Yngwie myself, I LOVED this!!! It's settled it for me, I NEED an Origin 20 amp. (might even go head and cab) I'm lucky enough to have a DOD YJM 308 pedal somewhere (if it still works!) so that's good. One thing though, you didn't mention Yngwie's 1.5mm dunlop picks. I've found in my own, rather limited, playing that pick material and thickness can affect the tone a lot. What was Nick using here?
Nope.. Overgain and muddy tone. Completely not plexi ish. My hunch it's the speaker needs Tobe replaced with v shape type celestion. And the Marshall Origin needs Plexi simulator preamp first boosted with that overdrive. But thanks for demonstration. It gives us some idea at least.
Is Nick the long lost brother of golf RU-vidr Peter Finch??! They look the same, sound the same, probably smell the same for all I know. Major doppelgänger situation
Not listened to any Malmsteen for at least thirty years but this was really interesting 👍 Edit: That sweep picking at around 21:10 was mighty impressive
When you switched strings and tuned down to Eb Yngwie showed up- although I think that has a lot more to do with Eb then the strings- would have been fun to hear it separately... but that's the sound!
The captain takes it back! So do I! Not one wasp in a jar but hundreds of them - all sweetly singing to Yingwie! Wow! Drop Eb and it sound brighter that higher tension E - I’m not a shredder but have always loved yingwie (more is MORE!!) Great vid Nick @ cap A!
I love the string discussion, perhaps a demo of the same model guitars, same pickups same neck type, all with different gauge strings compared would make for a stimulating upload
Also i do not understand why people pay £1500 for a USA Strat when a modern Squier Affinity will do the job , just swap the pickups and the pots and you have a guitar that will do as good a job , Max Ostro in his early days of youtube always used a Squier and got this tone
The person that I first learned used light gauge strings was Leslie West. On Mississippi Queen he actually ditched his standard low E moved the other strings down one slot and then used a banjo A string for his high E since at the time light gauge guitar strings didn't exist at the time. Mountain along with Cream pretty much blew me away.
Good effort Nick, unfortunately it sounds not even remotely like Yngwie. But then who does. Chris Impeliterri tried and failed too, so no shame there. Keep rockin'.
I got the Yngwie tone with an old Ibanez Guitar , an and an old Kustom KGA 30 watt amp no pedals needed and total spend £250 lol if you have been playing over 10 years its not hard to get that Yngwie sound
Sounds like Nick is really busy but I for one would love to see more of him on the channel. He’s super knowledgeable and each of his videos here I have come away entertained and educated. Thanks guys!
@Nick Jennison unfortunately Yngwie doesn't play with DiMarzios for the last 11-12 years...... YJM Fury are made by Seymour Duncan...... Also his signature strings are 8-46 from Fender and his Strats' setup got only two springs.
0:25 man, Ernie Ball makes so many strings lol... I use the slightly slinkier ones on my Strat (8 - 38) and they are a lot of fun! for anyone that uses 9s or anything higher, try 8s! they might take a little getting used to, but they are phenominal for easy bends, and sound just as great as other gauges. (Beato did a video showing that string gauge doesn't affect ton)
Nick used to be my instrumental guitar tutor back during my music degree course! :) Huge excitement seeing him on Andertons TV just now too! All the best! Matt.
