    Tone chasing Randy’s tone is so much fun! But you REALLY need those Altec Lansing speakers or a comparable IR. It’s such a huge part of his sound, more than anything else in the chain IME.

    Nailed the volume though! 😂

    I think there’s something particular about the cranked amp sound that I like and appreciate, the ear plugs or you go deaf tone is where it’s at.

    This is why I put the amp in another room...I can hear it, it sounds great

    If only Randy had a noise gate as we use nowadays ,i know in the studio they used an AMS DMX 15-80S digital delay is all over the Albums ,John Thomas tried make Randy a backup rig pedals but it sounded nothing like his pedal board either the distortion plus was modded or there were buffers in the unit etc ,the first album is standard tuning the second is Eb ,you can now get a Rhoads MXR and modern patches for the AMS Delay and IRs for the Alto speakers to get a closer sound .

    The only thing missing to replicate the Randy Rhoads sound are the speakers. Randy didn't use Celestions, he used Altec Speakers. Why? IDK and anyone's guess. Look at the early Ozzy videos, Celestion Speakers didn't have Chrome Dust caps.

    This is how I am planning to set up my first skateboard pedalboard for my first guitar. Trying to chase the Randy Sound to the best that I can.

    The story goes, that Ozzy called the hiss. The chips in the pan sound. Greg Koch calls it Gristle. Either way, when used sparingly. It's that extra something that stands out on top.
    I get a laugh at these tone experts. That say the Blizzard and Diary stuff Randy did. Is this, that, or the other thing. Somehow flawed, either way. Still completely clueless to the reality of the fact. That it's exactly what he wanted. It's supposed to sound "on the edge ". That's the whole point!
    Peace

    Disappointed there was no mention of Randy’s multi tracking of his guitars. He’d do 2-3 takes of the same part and overlap it in the studio. Key part of his recorded tones. Also, that “cheap” rig should have had an Epiphone Les Paul Custom.

  17. @thefid89

    The spacing of the E and A at the nut is crazy off. The E looks like its almost off the board.

  18. @ULTRALXV

    The modern Distortion plus is completely different and will not "get you there". You also need Altec Lansing speakers.

    Love the people saying it sounds bad when it’s common for guitars to only sound good in the mix.
