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

and of the 1/3rd, 1/2 of them are priced way to high and 1/2 of those have very narrow use cases.

I remember Guitar World had a article when the Tribute album came out and the producer said they used an early Korg digital delay through the board on a few tracks for Diary Of A Madman.

I was in recording from late '80s and pedals were never used except overdrive/distortion/fuzz or for a "one of a kind" sound (and most of those "one of a kind" sounds were derived from studio rack gear to start with). I bet it's still the case and I will never use pedals myself for recording. Rack gear is mostly replaced by plugins since the last decade.

When I recorded in the '80s the engineer was pissy I wanted to use my MXR Micro Flange. He said it would be too dramatic of a change in the mix and wanted to add the flanger in post. He was right. It was a dramatic shift, which we wanted on the recording. Glad I didn't listen to him. The recording we just did the engineer didn't even question my signal chain. He did capture a dry signal of my guitar pre-pedalboard in case I wanted to reamp or add effects later. It was not needed.

Im the age where i can remember when there were only [5] FX pedals for guitar. Now there are 7.7 billion and only 1/3rd worth a sh*t.
Not all pedals are created equal.

FACTS!

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.

This reminds me of a story I have heard. When the Quiet Riot albums with Randy (or some of the tracks, at least) were reissued in the early 90s, they supposedly ran the guitar tracks through Carlos Cavazo's guitar rig to add more distortion to the tracks. Stranger things have happened, but it sounds like an extreme solution still. Did it really happen like that? (I have never heard the original LP versions, so I don't know what those sound like.)

Interesting, but I doubt they have "clean" un-effected tracks to do that with.

The delay was set at 480 ms with a minimum of 9% feedback.

That is Interesting. I know on the first album they used an AMS DMX 15-80 to get some flanger and chorus effects in post.

Tommy Bolin had his attached to his mic stand so he could constantly manipulate it.

Thanks for the memory. Listening to "Post Toastee" as we speak.

I bet he would have done some wonderful things had he lived.

^^^ Ditto.

I turned my girlfriend on to The James Gang "Miami" last year. She couldn't get over Tommy's playing but when she heard "Spanish Lover" she was absolutely blown away. What a beautiful song.

I believe it is the anniversary of 'Spectrum' this week, so I listened to that as well as 'Come Taste the Band'. Both are fantastic. Really wonderful hard rock tone on a Strat with pretty archaic equipment.
