The Influential Kiss - Eddie Kramer Signal Chain

In this video I’m investigating how Eddie Kramer and Kiss in 1975 created the classic extreme, bright and gainy lead tone that later inspired Eddie Van Halen and Slash to create their signature sounds. I’m discussing which role guitars, pickups, amps, speakers, mics, compressor, EQ and all other factors may likely have contributed. I’m futhermore making expirements to investigate if the guitars were recorded through a 4x12 or a 1x12, whether they used Greenbacks or Blackbacks, what role pedals (EHX LPB-1) played and what desk EQ that was applied.
