I remember him saying he boosted one song on one old record using an old tape player/recorder!?!? WTF? :lol: :LOL: I don't know if he actually did this or if it was just another example of his sense of humor. :lol: :LOL:

I read that too, I also read Blackmore also used a preamp from an old tape player or record player, something like that.

I believe he used an old fostex or something on "Under Lock and Key" and cranked the levels. They used to get compressed sounding.


George said this in an interview in GTFPM back around '87, right when BFTA was coming out. He said that his demo's sounded better than what was being recorded in the studio, so he brought in his home 4 track and plugged into that as a preamp.

However, a subsequent Wagner (that was the guy that tracked that right?) interview, he said something to the effect of, well, George likes to think that he had more involvement in the process than he really did. In the end, if it helped him get a better recording (implying mentally), than I did my job. (or something along those lines).

I'm thinkinig a stock Boss SD-1? I think that even these days his tone is boosted Marshalls.

Here it is dude. SD-1 into the famous purple Marshall. You can see the pedal on the floor right when he starts playing.

I love this tone, his playing, everything. This is George Lynch letting it buck x4.


I love that vid and tone as well! :rock: The thing that got me is that every one of those solo's is improvised (as he does); every one is killer, and none of them are on the record (which is a statement of how in the zone he was for that first record).
