Re: Yngwie J Malmsteen
Been going to a few concerts these past 2 weeks.
Seen Uli Roth last Sunday as he did choice killer Scorps tunes.
On Saturday Kamelot with an excellent performance.
Yesterday, Sunday, YJM was in town and was a great show.
Several weeks ago I borrowed one of my Cousin's YJM's for a week.(Candy Apple Red/Rosewood)
His OlyWht/Mpl sounds very Stratty but, the Red/RW felt do-able in my hands since the scallop is cut not as deep.
I decided to try a progression using Line6 GuitarPort with a Riffworks drum track with an octaver for the bass played on the guitar.
I tried to get the feel for the style by keeping it simple. A little tired after work but, you get the idea...
I hope yooz Yngwie guys hold back on the tomatoes
eh, and no beer was used while recording

Hi yngwie308, Great forum/Malmsteen threads!yngwie308 wrote:Ah yes...but maybe we have just stumbled upon the secret to Yngwie's Alacatrazz tone ---> The Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble.
If it is gone from his rig during the '85 tour, and all else being equal...then perhaps the CE-1 was giving Yngwie that high sustain, thick tone which still cut thru the band's mix. On all the Alcatrazz recordings (including the live concerts recordings / performances...Yngwie's guitar tone is like a laser beam in how it cuts thru...yet is warm and musical.
Also, as for the be all, end all, in re-creation of the original Boss CE-1...check out the Retro-sonic Chorus Ensemble:

There are around $ 279, and there is a waiting list. I have one already back-ordered.
I live in Sweden and I have been a great fan of Yngwie since the early 1980s. Like many others I love Yngwie's guitar tone from the 1978-1985 era and how it cuts thru the band mix...yet is warm and musical. A good example is the fantastic solo from "Suffer Me-Alcatrazz Metallic Live 84 DVD". I have read many articles and listened to several interviews with Yngwie from his pre-USA days when he was still a teenager living in Stockholm, Sweden (BTW his nickname was Dyngve )
According to Yngwie, his pre-USA tone was created using the following equipment.
* Guitar: Fender Stratocaster "the Duck", scalloped by Yngwie in 1978, no brass nut, disconnected tone controls
* Pickups: DiMarzio FS-1 single coils with high output, but warmer and more bass than HS-3. Yngwie used FS-1's in both bridge and neck position and he did not start using HS-3s until around 1983.
* Amplifier: Marshall Vintage 1972 MKII heads 50W, EL34
* Cabinets: Marshall 4x12 with Celestion 75W (NOT Celestion greenbacks)
* Effects: DOD250 (1978 Gray models, Gain MAX, LEvel 9 o'clock), BOSS Roland Chorus Ensemble CE-1, Roland DC-10 Echo, Boss OC-2, Vintage Dunlop Cry Baby, VOX flanger....
I guess that the key elements to his early tone are the FS-1 pickups and the CE-1,which boosts the signal even further and makes it more single coily?

Re: Yngwie J Malmsteen
NitroLiq,
interesting story about working with Yngwie at New River Studios during the recording of SEVENTH SIGN
What more can you remember about those recording sessions ?
Microphone positions ?
EQ tweaks ?
Reverbs or Delay settings ?
Anything else ?

Re: Yngwie J Malmsteen
OK time to bring the "Mastero" topic back up to the top, I have been listerning to the Earlier Alcatrazz Cd "No Paroloe....", and I am really liking that tone the best of all. Yngwie's tone then was much less distorted, but also cleaner and clearer too. Here is what I have , I got my Custom Fender Strat, that started out as a '99 Fender Mexican 70's reissue. I had it customized with the full Yngwie works just like the Duck/Play Loud strat, I even added a "Callahan" Tremolo block for more sustain. My only issue is on the bridge pickup (HS3) it is kinda real thin sounding, (do I need to use a 9 gauge strings) not like a HS3 should. I have not had a chance to compare it sound wise with a real Fender Yngwie strat to see how the sound compares, I wonder if the wood in mine make that much diff. It says mine is made of Ash, The YJM stray is Alder, on the fender site. I am thinking about getting the new Seymore Duncan "YJM volume smooth pot" and the set of "no load" tone controls also in 250K. I see they also sell them in 500K what is the difference there too? I play thru my Metroamp 50Watt Clone of a '69 spec, with a TS-9 modded to 808 specs, I am using 4 G12T75 watt speakers in the A cab, with a PPIVMV. I really want the early Yngwie tone.
I see that dailey has a mod for a Yngwi amp using another preamp tube here

I am schematic tarded, if anyone wants to do a layout of this for me, taking the 50W layout and adding it to it, that would be great also as to what Relays (RLY1A, RLY1B) he is using in there, I want to add the FX loop in mine that he has there too, and is that only a 1 input schematic how is he switching channels in there with a footswitch or what?
Thanks

Re: Yngwie J Malmsteen
YJM used 70's ash strats live with a pair of Hs-3's and stock fender necks (stock frets and fingerboard). What you need is the dod250 preamp and a single bourns gtr 250K pot for the guitar volume control (no tone pots in the circuit). G12M and H is what he used back in 1984, 85...

Re: Yngwie J Malmsteen
Thanks stef, but just wondering........ also the YJM308 pedal is suppossed to be a replica of the famous "DOD250 grey pedal" from the 70's, I see they also reissued the DOD250 as a yellow pedal now too, are they the same thing??? or who knows any specs on the differences on the YJM308 compared to the reissue DOD250 yellow?
Thanks

Re: Yngwie J Malmsteen
Yep, just a slight varience between the two. This is old stuff (the yellow reissue was back in '96 I believe). The YJM 308 is actually VERY good, if you use it like he does. It gives you alot of what a proper 250 does, but tightens things up a bit, in regards to that flabby, grainy type 'feel' that a 250 gets on distorted rhythms. On the 308, you have to set both knobs up to at least 2 oclock though. The level/output WIDENS the tone out, but has to be set up high.
With a strat with single coils (weak ones at that) and a 1987 Marshall, the 308 is what it is SUPPOSED to be.
