VOX BRIAN MAY amp

Re: VOX BRIAN MAY amp

I dont think its much chop, its only a little solid state thing isnt it?

Brian may im pretty sure didnt use one, he used his AC30 with some weird pedal...didnt he?
 
Re: VOX BRIAN MAY amp

Brian May did use one but it was the one he actually made from a car stereo and other ranom objects,the original had not controls and was something like .4watts(point 4 watts) Or somewhere like that

It was John Deacon, the bass player who made his amp! Live he used AC-30 but in the studio he used the "deaky". He also used a Booster pedal, can't remember the name right now but BSM has start made the old pedal again but it's VERY VERY expencive!

Rammer, are you located anywhere near a GC ? The shops do stock them ...give it a try.

If not, MF (and what suitable initials) does have a fairly liberal return policy.
 
Re: VOX BRIAN MAY amp

when i bought my practice amp i asked about the BM amp and the local musicstore guy said (i know him very well so i know he's not making anything up). If you play Queen/Brain May stuff it's great, for everything else, it sucks.

Absolutely agree with what Thurisarz has said - if you want to nail the Brian May sound you will need a couple of AC30's and also the Brian May Special amp (called the Deacy amp). The amp is designed to give the same tones as Brian's original pre amp made by John Deacon out of some old radio stuff he found dumped. In addition, the Vox Brian May Special features an output following the treble booster section, so that this output can be plugged into another amplifier (such as a Vox AC30) to get the traditional sounds. It is designed primarily for home use, recording or as a pre-amp to feed into a larger amp when playing live.
