Judas Priest " Crown of Horns" Studio :

So watching , as I have been listening to Ritchie Faulkner since he first joined Priest.
Lately his tone has been remarkable , maybe in part due to the JCM 800 (edit)


I think a guy on MF "David Szabados Mr. Scary amp Mod modded Ritchie Faulkners JCM 800 but he also has a Wizard amplifier.

Faulkner is no second fiddle, that guy is legit!
Have always liked his work , and his tones.

In the Guitar World interview Faulkner says he recorded the parts with a Quad Cortex then sent the DI's to the producer who re-amped them with JCM800s and EVH heads.

He uses Engls and Wizards live, no Marshalls.

Anyway, the tones on this album are insane and so is his playing.

I guess I need to do better research. Thanks for clearing that up.

There is a post on the MF with a picture where Faulkner states ready to tour with his 800 and Mr Scary mod. At least for 1 amp.

There is a post on the MF with a picture whI did see there Faulkner states ready to tour with his 800 and Mr Scary mod. At least for 1 amp.

I did see that post . Relying to much on the internet of disinformation. I say that because there are always what appears to be truth and then some counter truth.

What was the date on the article?

Took me a minute but found it again:

“I’ve never been a shredder. I’m never going to out-do Yngwie Malmsteen. I’m more from the Schenker and Blackmore school”: Judas Priest’s Richie Faulkner on the secret to headbanger riffs, and half-nailing, half-blagging the Painkiller solo

Judas Priest's Invincible Shield finds the British metal institution surviving against the odds. Its very own bionic man Richie Faulkner gives us the guitar POV on a venerable work of British steel

www.guitarworld.com

And reading it again it seems the interviewer is the one mentioning the touring gear, not Richie, so maybe he is changing it up although I know in the past he has leaned hard on the Engls.

Last time I saw them in 2015 , I don't remember what he used but they have so many props on stage. Plus we were back, I have some video but not anything to define it.
The home recording was re-amped
"re-amp through JCM 800s and newer EVH heads"

 

[ibmorjamn]

What I suspected about the Wizard amp , it's a variation of a Marshall circuit.
The Hell Razor is similar to a Jubilee.
From seven string :
By technomancer
"Schematics are out there, they're sort of similar to a Jubilee. The Headfirst boards are why he put out the MkIIs and probably now this. Plus a decent chunk of his business seems to be the same guys buying the latest and greatest revision."

Ritchie does show his rig to a camera, he does not seem to be hiding anything.
His floor board has some funny names "fish" , "chips"

The video is 6 years old and on it he states he has used a Engl Powerball for the past 7 years. However the studio is of course different as we dicussed. Amp at 9:47
