Were Randy Rhoads on the Dairy Of A Madman album effects post?

[omni 1]

After the fact and added after the tracks were recorded dry?

[omni 1]

I never really thought about it... or did he use his effects live during the recordings? I'm really not sure if anyone on here would know.

[Mincer]

I always thought they were, as it wasn't common to print those kinds of effects to tape while recording. Is the producer still alive?

I have seen many images of him using his chip pan board in the studio

Recording w/a Marshall stack. my guy !

He was so tight and in the pocket as a player. No digital playing with the timing or tuning. 100% incredible technique and ear by one of if not the greatest metal guitarist of all time

Those albums were in the late 70s/early 80s and recorded to tape, they didn't even have computers in the studio then, the computers that existed then would have been usesless for audio work. I'm 99% sure he used his pedalboard, they may have run the guitar though a plate reverb and some offboard compression, but they didn't do reamping back then. I doubt he could have gotten the same feel recording dry tracks into the board.

Well, it certainly wasn't reamping back then, but the producer could have patched in outboard stuff as he was recording. It might not have all come from his pedalboard. His live sound is pretty different to me than his recorded sound.

That's what I was trying to say, everything in front of the amp would have been in there, verbs, delays, and other post amp stuff was probably added later. The sound man was probably adding some of the delay live too, that was even before effects loops were a normal thing in amps.

Oh gotcha. I think pedal delays/chorus/etc would be too noisy for the studio to use his pedalboard. They probably patched him into some good rack stuff, which absolutely existed then.

Even back in the Quiet Riot days, Randy had a roadie backstage operating his Echoplex, so that is entirely possible.

I seen Randy with QR back in the day.
Seen him 5+ times with Ozzy.
I love the way Max Norman mixed both B.O.Z. & D.O.A.M.M.
But Max didn't capture Rhoads's tone too well on the first one, some tracks sounded like the guitar was stuck on a Wah Wah pedal.
Second outing was an improvement over the first.
Live , Rhoads's guitar tone was huge, probably mixed think Flanging with Chourus.

How hard is it to use an echoplex LOL.
Set & forget.
