Man I really liked Randy growing up, I mean I still do, but as teen he was in Ozzy, I was just getting into guitar. Some had Clapton posters on their wall, I was Randy...and Jimi.
I'm wondering if that's coming from the Distortion+ or an additional chorus pedal. Randy used a lot of chorus in his sound so it will be interesting to hear.
Like someone pointed out in another comment, I think it has a short delay to get the "double tracked" sound plus a light stereo detune or something similar for a bigger sound. As for the delay, they might have panned the dry sound hard to one side and have the wet delay sound panned hard to the other side. The pedal itself does not have a chorus.
Save your money and get a standard Distortion + a can of black spray paint and some yard sale price stickers. Very disappointing when paired up with an original 75 script model. The model they claim it’s based upon. All the “We based it upon Randy’s personal pedal” is nonsense. Dunlop answered the call, but it’s just a standard D+!
Sweetwater website says that it’s already sold out, but I was able to pre-order one from Musician’s Friend. I heard that they’re only going to make a few and that they’ll probably sell out in one day! Looks like that’s true…
Ordered this from sweet water before they sold out! Still waiting for them to come in! I bought another from zzounds and it will be here today! Sweetwater is bigger than zzounds but can’t believe they haven’t got them in!
@@evanyaboi108 and I actually feel kind of bad about it because I don’t think I’ll ever even open it. I sort of bought it as a good luck charm… I was just lucky enough and quick enough to grab one. And yeah, people are asking ridiculous money… But I won’t say that if someone offered me $500 for mine, I wouldn’t take it.
@@evanyaboi108 I was just quick and lucky… But I do feel kind of bad about it because I don’t think I’ll ever even open it. I just bought it on a whim because I’ve been a huge Randy fan for over 40 years. I’m not going to open it… It’s sitting here sort of like a voodoo trinket or a good luck talisman. And polkadots are really cool… That’s why I play a buddy guy crybaby! and people are asking ridiculous money for them, absolutely… But if someone offered me $500 for mine, I probably take it.
What’s the whole signature signal chain from guitar pick ups all the way to speaker on the box what kind of amp are you using? What other effects is this modulation is this actually a tube vamp that you’re using? This doesn’t sound like a real output. This sounds like something that went through a Sim.
I’m not a super techy pedal guy, but this isn’t just a resold distortion +, they opened his actual pedal board, I don’t think Kathy would allow that just to build a resold distortion plus. There’s more info about it on the Dunlop website
@@LeGeeked.- From what I understand, his original distortion+ wasn't modded in any way. It's just a standard pedal, but from what I've read: Phil Demmel (huge Randy fan) had some say in how this signature model was tweaked to get closer to Randy's tone.
The estate gave permission to let Rhoads board out of the vault so they could examine it and figure out how he got his sound. Apparently he didn't have just a typical pedal chain, so they had to really dig deep. There was an article about it just a few days ago, I believe, Premier Guitar maybe or one of those sites I think 🤔
@@jaredbryce7964So what I'm hearing you say is not only was Randy a phenomenal guitarists, but he really knew his technology and tone for the time. Which is just incredibly. Did I get that right?😁👍
@@scottdaugherty8065 pretty much! If Rhoads didn't know much about it, his tech team must have been good, but I would bet on him taking the time to learn all that stuff. It seemed he was always trying to improve at something, so I doubt he slacked when it came to his tone, especially given his love of classical guitat
For what it is, it's very overpriced because of Randy's affiliation with MRX. However, it's just a distortion+ which you can usually find for a lot least expense. I also understand there's a limited edition of them so that people are snatching them up and reselling them for outrageous money. I just hope that Randy's family is able to get some kind of percentage of the profits from the sales of this unit.
All it really is.. is a distortion +... and to tell you the truth its probably made like the ones were back in the mid to late 70s... thats what you would be better off buying . also a 10 band eq as well and if you want to get a lil frisky you can geet a chorus and delay for the randy live stuff...
@Daddybell6957 It's just more annoying because of the scalpers. Randy was a huge influence and my daughter's middle name is Rhoads and I waited months for the release of the pedal. Got busy with life and missed the release by a day...:/
@@Secretary.of.Education i hear ya bud.... i know alot about randy... i also was friends with some of his highschool friends 15 years ago.. got to hear stories and also some stuff they found before randys mom passed that i cant talk about.... trust me on a vintage dist+ you will be happy with that .. i dont think this is a limited run.. they will have it for full force sale here in a few months... but i believe these first run are circuits of the vintage ones. Thats why its limited.
