"Keep Yourself Alive, " Queen, 1973 Written by Brian, "Keep Yourself Alive" was the first track on Queen's first album. Brian meant for the lyrics to be ironic, but when Freddie Mercury sang them, they took on a whole new meaning. Toe (Green) Mode ­ This is based on the intro tone from the song, which consists of the Red Special run through a treble booster and into a VoxTM AC30 amp. A tape flanging effect was added to the song during production. Heel (Red) Mode ­ This is based on the solo tone from the song, also with a tape flanger effect. Control Knob ­ Increases or decreases the midrange. Expression Pedal ­ Controls the amount of tape flanger effect. MODEL 2. "Bohemian Rhapsody, " A Night at the Opera, 1975 The multi-part harmonies alone on this landmark recording took over 80 hours to complete. The entire song was recorded in about three weeks. The song's promotional video is widely considered to be the headwater for the entire music video industry, and the song itself frequently appears near or at the top of "best rock song" lists. Toe (Green) Mode ­ Based on the vocal-like and sustaining guitar tone from the first solo. The Red Special (with neck and middle pickups turned on and out of phase) is plugged into a treble booster and a VoxTM AC30. Control Knob ­ Increases or decreases the phaser speed. Expression Pedal ­ Controls the phaser amount. MODEL 5.
