The panel's incredible for me.Īs soon as I got it, I took out all my old analog pedals telling me that I sound a little spice. This is where it gets great with this amp pokey. and the output treble booster that can be out of a tube amp to find the sound of Brian May. I use it in my living room grattouillier for 5 minutes in passing.Īs they say in other circumstances, it is plug and play!Īt the same time, there's not beat around the bush, gain, volume, switch High / Low for the distortion and tone knob. With 10W amp it will more than studio scene, but do not hesitate to plug it into a 4x12 '.įor my part, I looked a little amp room, basic but with character. It includes a treble booster that can be transplanted into an amp (it seems you can leave the queen in a plugger AC30) He is the faithful replica of the 'Deacy' amp transistor, John Deacon, Queen bassist. I've only had mine a day, and I can't wait to try the Booster/Out with my 2 AC30's. Tie Your Mother Down!!! This thing not only captures the distortion and sweet sustain of the classic Brian May Solo tone ala Bohemian Rhapsody, but nails the grinding power chord passages as well. In short, it looks really cool and Boy, it sure is white!!! Panel, inputs and knobs are typical chicken-head retro cool. From the gold piping right down to the tiny gold screws holding on the white corner guards. The attention to detail is quite impressive. But what can you expect for this price.īrighton Rock! This one came out of the box perfect. It is stapled onto the back of the amp, and looks cheap. The only real nit-pick I have to is I don't like the velcro strap for the power cord. I realize this was not the purpose of this amp, nor was it the reason I bought it, but it would be nice and I will keep looking. Killer Queen? I have not yet found a good 'regular' (non-boost) tone to compliment the signature solo tone.

The Neck pick-up (which I rarely use) was the one that really nailed the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' solo tone and bridge pickup was just right for the 'Plaster coming off the walls' Power-chord stuff. Which is not surprizing since it is my favorite guitar of all time. (P-90 style pickups.) This one sounded the best, all in all. Fender Telecaster w/ Joe Barden pickups, 1995 Ernie Ball MusicMan Axis Super Sport w/ MM90's. Guitars Played were: 1968 Les Paul Custom, 1968 Fender Telecaster, 1992 Am Std. Each one nailed subtley different Brian May sounds.

I played a bunch of my guitars through it, using Bridge pickups, Neck pickups, and combinations, as well as out of phase Strat tones on my Joe Barden equipped 3-Pickup Fender Telecaster. It is as light as a feather, and the quality on mine is a 10. News of the World! It really does sound like exactly Brian May's Queen guitar tone.
