The Most Important Part of Allan Holdsworth's Tone [it's all about the DELAY] youtu.be

> Allan Holdsworth was a genius. Obviously. I always thought that the Drive/Amp were the important part of his tone, and have bought the J Rockett Holdsworth drive a number of times to see if I was missing something. After playing with both the Yamaha MagicStomp and the Yamaha UD Stomp - which Allan used for a huge part of his career, I've found what I think is the MOST important part of his lead tone.

The Allan Holdsworth "HARNESS" Playlist youtu.be

> THERE IS NOT A SOUND DEMO IN THIS VIDEO. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THIS UNVERIFIED CIRCUIT, WATCH THE VIDEO. > > I have been intrigued by Allan Holdsworth's "Harness", AKA Juice Extractor, for quite a while. I recently discovered some more information about it and decided that I was going to attempt reverse engineering it. > > NOTE: This is NOT the same circuit as Rocktron's Juice Extractor, which is frankly completely different from Allan's design. The only thing the two have in common is Holdsworth's name and the concept of a power amp to line level interface. Watch the video or visit the link below to learn more about that. > > There is quite a lot more to say about Allan's ingenious invention, but that's not within the scope of this video. If you want to learn more in depth details about the somewhat complicated story of The Harness, check out the webpage at my website -- http://www.diyguitarist.net/Misc/Hold...

Holdsworth Designed TONE CONTROL youtu.be

> THIS IS NOT A SOUND DEMO WITH A GUITAR AND AMPLIFIER. It is an analysis of Allan Holdsworth's tone control using an oscilloscope and a pair of function generators used in the audio range where we can hear it thru an LM386 based mini-amplifier. Also there's a brief bit about my LTSpice analysis of the circuit. > > I wanted to know more about this tone control that Allan Holdsworth designed for his custom Harness units, so I built it and tested just that part of the circuit. I think it has potential to be used in a few different ways, in a simple tube amp or in a DIY guitar pedal. In my use of it so far it has never been harsh or "muddy" sounding!
