It all starts with the guitar…
As much as the effects and the amps, the The real key to May's sound is his Red Special guitar. In the early 1960s, Brian and his father built this guitar out of the materials they had on hand, including wood from a fireplace frame and springs from a motorcycle!
Even the Burns Tri-Sonic pickups were changed.
For AmpliTube Brian May, we knew we needed to deliver the unique sound of your instrument, so we went even further to develop a new effect pedal that helps simulate the tone and controls of Red Special itself.
