Hi folks,
I own a Mark IV which i intend to be using for home recording soon. I'm totally hooked on the old
Queen tunes and May's sound coming out of the Deacy amp. (so i'm not talking about the regular Vox AC-30 sound he uses live and for rhythm sounds) This is the amp used to record
those amazing harmony unisons. I basically want to use my Mark IV to achieve a similar sound
for unisons. Meaning, fat sound with violin/cello sounding attack while maintaining the definition
of a medium gain lead sound.
I love the character of a Mark IV amp so I definetly want to use that for recording the unisons, (otherwise i'd just have to get a copy of the Deacy amp) but I'm looking for some solution (in pedal/stompbox format or otherwise) that will give my lead sound that character for leads.
Do any of you have experience with using pedals that increase the richness of the tone while maintaining the definition
yet getting a really fat attack when you pick the strings?
For an example of what i mean, check the leads and unisons 'Driven by You' a song Bryan May has recorded on a solo album. That's the character i'm looking for.
