Got my Hands on the Diablo Standard 6 String from Balaguer Guitars
Today, I'm checking out the Balaguer Diablo Standard 6 string guitar. This thing was fantastic to play and sounded amazing. It fit right into my workflow and the riffs just flowed from the moment I opened up the bag. The website says they are currently out of stock/on pre-order so my best guess is to contact the company directly if you're interested in inquiring about purchasing this bad boy. I waited a few months between when I first got in contact with them and when it was delivered to me but I'd say that it was well worth the wait.
Guitar Specs:
• Mahogany Body - Satin See Through Black Finish
• Flame Maple Veneer
• Roasted Maple Bolt On Neck Construction
• 25.5” Scale Length
• 24 Stainless Steel Frets
• Ebony Fingerboard (16” Radius)
• Pearloid Offset Dot Inlays

thank you sooo much, worked 100% in just 3 mins
Thank you, this is what I needed!
Thanks, man. Really.
Awesome, Thank you for this. I am trying to show some friends the meteor shower thats happening now in the Northern Hemishpere. They are down in Australia and do not get the chance to see it! Works well for me using the S23 Ultra! Props to you and the app! Cheers
Thank you!
I have the 7 string version they released alongside this, but I swapped the pickups for Bare Knuckle Black Hawks. Love it.
This really changed the game for me. I typed it one time and your video was the first to come up. Thank you so much!
I've downloaded LetsView, and it works beautifully for about 30 seconds and then drops my phone's screen. Pretty useless as a monitor when it does that, which is every time I've tried it so far. What's my solution?
Super clean,super chill
😊
Did you record this video with a phone or camera? I am considering buying a camera but never tried to use my phone
EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you the informative video!
thank you so much
How is that Canon cheap???
Killer video. Headshot.
Bro you get a like and subscribe for this one lol. Honestly you had me at your death loop of "record, check the clip, do it again" ...and the "thats what she said"...nice touch hahaha. Thanks for sharing.
Let me start by saying the most impressive part of all this was the presentation. Great ambiance created here with the lighting and background but when you started the coil tap demo with the cleans it all synced up perfectly. On to the guitar, I’m looking at one just not sure about the neck profile. I’ve read C and D shapes. I’m a C guy. I’ve not bought a Production Guitar in quite a while so I’m a bit tepid on buying one from Indo without playing it. Decisions decisions.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you make a video or tell me if you can do it with another iPhone without Wi-Fi just data?
My kind of video, helpful and straight to the point!!🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you
Why are you showing reamp boxes when you are talking about DI boxes?
Which settings did you aim for on the iPhone?
Can u run it on a tablet?
You are a life saver! Thank you!
Love the sounds that come out of the Diablo. Reminds me of my Ibanez RGAL, I won't get a brand new unmodified humbucker-equipped guitar without a coil-splitting knob/switch anymore because of it. Too versatile and has managed to outpace my strat in areas where you'd normally expect a strat to excel.
Same, I love having the coil split option. Helps my workflow tremendously when I don't have to go fishing for a different guitar if I want to change my tone. Nothing worse than having an idea and letting it slip because I was digging through guitar cases. lol
Man this lighting setup is too clean 🔥 Love the Balaguer too, the Hypernova pickups are my favourite pickups of theirs that I've tried
Thank you so much! I love the Hypernova set! The only other one I have really listened to is Beau Buchell's signature guitar and that sounds amazing!
I ordered one
Nice! I'm sure you're gonna love it
Absolutely killer production with some serious tones dialed in 🤘🔥🤘
Thank you so much! 🤘😁🤘
Awesome video dude! You made that guitar look and sound exceptionally pretty.
Thank you so much, dude! ❤❤
Very beautiful guitar offering a variety of opportunities 🤘🤘🤘. I'm glad to see you back. 😊
Thank you! I'm glad to be back. Had a lot going on the background but I've been working hard on getting back into the swing of the content game 😁
This video is next level man! Looks absolutely incredible, and that guitar 😍😍😍! Outstanding video man, well done! 🤘🤘
Thank you so much!! Really tried to push the product shots on this one so i'm glad it landed!
@@TheRealStevenWard yeah it landed! This was the best Balaguer commercial I’ve ever seen! 😅🔥
the installation is horrible
TBH, the latest update I find bad to navigate. the old version was better.
Yes please!!
We used to be able to use more than 3 pedals in a row? What am I missing here in this update ? I know you can swap out various pedals but it allows only 3 in a row ?
Very helpful, thanks a bunch.
Brilliant, thank you. The amount of times I've spent running back & forth too my phone, I felt like an under paid runner on a Hollywood movie set.
My pleasure! Glad I could help. 😁
I am now shooting tons of great looking footage with my Samsung Galaxy A54. I may even buy another just to have a second "camera."
Thank You for multicam tip :) its really helpfull , gold advice! Have a productive year 2024! Can You tell what camera You use to film with that quality?
Hi. Followed everything here but it says "No presets that match this plug-in were found in the file. Please note that files can be imported to the same plug-in they were created with" any help? Thanks!!
Thank you for this great video!
awesome video dude. best video about di boxes i've seen.
Love this, thank you steven
You are showing reamp boxes as DI boxes, when they are the opposite. WTF man
How can I connect my pedal board to the house mixer, without losing tone? Would I need an active DI, since I use a strait? Or a DI with a built in cab sim?
yo... I have had PolyChrome for a few months now. Absolute tits. love it so much.
The best guitar plugin on the market. Period.
Mmmmmmm !!! 😉🧐🤔 Nope ! Lack of control over certain aspects and features No ability to DI out So few choices on effects and routing No IR choices No Harmonizer / pitch Great plug-in waiting for v2
This guy is a marvelous communicator. He is very articulate. And he said something only I've heard myself say. When somebody tells you something is better. That doesn't mean it's better. That merely means, it's different. And if that difference works for you? Only then is it better. So better is not better but merely different.. In many cases. And in that respect I'm a bit different than other engineers. Not only am I a very competent technician and designer. And I can safely say. This guy has my approval! And I really don't say that about many. Most are full of crap. This guy is pretty solid. In kids. In the end. The perfection of your sound is really secondary. You have to hear everything together, first. Then you start tweaking it to make it more fun sounding. Because it only has to be so perfect. When you learn that good is good enough. Which is very difficult to do when you first start out. There are so many choices to make. Which are the right ones? Generally it's the simplest ones. The more basic ones. Just like this guy is trying to convey to you here. Simple is better. Keep it simple stupid. And yeah all you need is a halfway decent and inexpensive, USB audio interface device. Better than cheapest ones start around $150. And then as mentioned here. I have all that other stuff. I can plug into a cheaper USB audio interface box. And still retain that sound. Even going into a cheaper USB audio input device. So yeah go ahead. Here's what you need. One clone, Neve, microphone preamp/EQ input strip. Or, API 312/560-550, clone equivalent. One clone, FET, Peak Sensing, 1176 Dynamic Range Limiter. And just about anyone's, Downward Expander/Gate.. This will be all you will need. You will not need anything else, And the cost of the originals are prohibitive. The clones for pennies on the dollar. They are 100%, just as authentic sounding. Any minor nuanced differences? Only for the most, Obsessively Compulsive Disorderly Crazies. And that really gets you nowhere. It turns you into a schmuck. Don't be a schmuck. That kind of intensity and drama is counterproductive. Because only the Beatles were the Beatles. So you don't have to be. Because you're not. None of us are. Or will ever be. So don't sweat the small stuff. You'll live longer and be a lot happier. You get to live. To record another day. At the best thing in our line of work. Is that nobody gets hurt or killed. Because you delivered a crappy sounding recording and mix. Another thing you cannot do. You cannot use your equipment. As an excuse for making a lousy recording. As long as it passes audio. You should be able to make a decent recording. If you know what you're doing. Some of us had to do it that way for a living. We don't get Take-2. Everything has to be done on Take-1. And it has to be listenable and not all screwed up sounding. And so it's not about playing with the software or the gear. It's about making a good sounding recording or live broadcast. With limited tools. Bad acoustics and everything all wrong. It's a wonderful challenge. I love the challenge. I'm real good at that. That's why I got paid the big bucks. I worked for a major TV Network for 20 years. And they only hired the best engineers. In the world. It was kind of a National Broadcasting Company. Yeah. That one. The first one. The original. The best. The biggest. The one that was owned by RCA. And they only hired the best. I don't know what they were doing with me? They certainly would make that mistake again. After I left. I was the last of the greats. Of the Golden Age of Broadcasters. And then to also grow up in the best recording studios was also, quite a thrill. From the earliest Motown. To, one of the biggest hit makers in New York City. And Miami. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC. I liked looking at the ocean, regularly. But I am now tired of green. I want to see blue. And I'm heading left bound from Texas, soon enough. And I hope nobody stops me, again. Because this was the last time. Next is my time. Yeah so I'm taking care of my 100-year-old mother, alone. And until such time. I'm here. RemyRAD
This young man knows a little. About what he is talking about. But just a little. He's fairly knowledgeable. He's got the right ideas here. But some information has been left out. I feel is a bit pertinent. Having been doing this for over 50 years at the top of the heap of, Engineering. And with limited, information. You might make expensive purchasing decisions you don't need to. Just because somebody else did it wrong. And tells you how they dealt with it or didn't. I make certain it doesn't happen at all. That's what an experienced well seasoned engineer knows how to do. And having a servicing and maintenance background can be beneficially helpful. Suffice it to say. Life imitates art. You can use a transformer DI box. As an input device or an output device. It goes either way. Whatever the input is? Can also be an output. Whatever the output is. Can also be an input. And there are reasons to do this. While higher impedance input, low, no load, inputs can sound clearer. From Active DI boxes. They can only be used as active , one way, input boxes. And nothing more. They have but one function. And one function only. Whereas transformer boxes. Can be used in any number of ways. It can also be used, to increase the audio or to decrease the audio. Passively. They can be used as a passive amplifier. That can provide 10 or more DB of, Free Gain! When you plug your source into a low impedance input. That has a high impedance output. You'll get 10 free DB or so of gain.. Or if it's too loud for your input. And your input overloads. Stick it in backwards. It'll lower the level by 10 DB. Before it gets to your input. That's what a transformer box can do. That makes it extremely versatile. In both directions. And then it also provides for, Electrical Isolation. While the wires are connected to each side. Nothing is connected to each side! While the wires touch. They are not connected to each other. They are insulated. And everything magically passes through. It's called Induction. And you have just been inducted. Your air-conditioning might be inducted. Throughout your house. Or mobile home. But that's a different kind of inducted. It's in the duct work, sure. But that's nowhere near the pond. Now what are you going to do? You can see how complicated this could all get. When you've imbibed on too much legal THC. Just so you know. This was only a Test. Of the Emergency Broad Chasing System. If this had been an actual Broad. You would have been instructed. Where to Grab. Or send your dollars texting to TRUMP 666-666. And they will take your donation. Which will facilitate his transfer to a Federal Prison. But I digress. One thing not really mentioned about transformers versus Active DI boxes. Active DI Boxes are a single gender. Whereas, transformer passive DI boxes are all, Bisexual/Bidirectional. Audio can go into the output and out through the input. And there are reasons for doing that. It's very important for Audio Applications. Not so much with fun in the bedroom. As a DI box could become painful. That's why some are round and smooth. Others are awkward little boxes. I use both. Sometimes you have tight places. Between instruments. And an in-line device might be preferable to an awkward little box. That gets in the way. Can fall off, fall down. Whereas other Active DI Boxes might have, 4 separate controllable inputs. Like a mixer. Because it is. And it has 2 outputs. So can be paired up with a, cheap crappy, limited, USB DI box. That has no microphone input. Because you don't need one now. Your gizmo has 4 inputs. And 2 or 1 output. WOW! What will they think of next? Can they make bigger ones? Yeah I just sold my bigger one. It was as large as and weighed as much as a Mazda Miata. And requires about 8 burly guys. To pick up the empty frame. It cannot be picked up. With the electronics still inside it. Because that weighs 3 times more. Kind of like three, V8 Engines strung together. It's a bit heavy. I've been carrying it around with me. For the past 27 years. Inside my 25,000 pound, Mercedes-Benz, diesel box truck. Because it's not exactly portable. And basically 33 years ago. This was about it. And it's also in, Dave Grohl's Sound City, Movie. You can stream for free here on UA-cam. And I have a better one in the truck. Of what that entire movie is all about. About the best rock 'n' roll. And the people in it will freak you out. It's one of the greatest ROCK 'N' ROLL DOCUMENTARY FILMS OF ALL TIME! But then I am a bit biased. Mine sounded better. Mine is better. Mine is by the same guy in the movie. Only mine was more money. It was designed for NBC-TV News in Washington DC where I worked. And used it. Before I purchased it. And was $9000 more than the one Dave now has in the movie. Aunt Rupert Neve told me he made mine better. Really? Really. He told me. And explained how and why. COOL! One limited knowledge young man. Tries to make a recording with his laptop and got all of this Gnarly heinous interference due to his pickups. No. That is not correct. Take it from an expert who knows. Who has been dealing with this since the mid-1990s. And solving this problem everywhere I go. It was not due to his pickups. It was due. To the direct coupled, non-isolated, switching power supply. Of his laptop computer. As he was also obviously plugged into something else. Creating a perfect ground loop. With your balanced input. Because the external AC laptop power supply. It is a direct coupled active switching power supply. And it offers no AC line input, isolation. None. The only way. He could have eliminated that nasty buzzing. Would be to lift the ground pin, connection. To the external laptop AC power supply. And by doing that. Your electrical ground. Is then only through your audio wiring. Connected to your laptop audio interface device. Because you can't break that ground. And expect data to flow. You have to break the AC ground. And there are risks with doing that. If you understand the electrical risks involved. You should be just fine.. You must take greater precautions. And you should keep an AC voltmeter, handy at all times. You must connect one lead of your AC voltmeter. To the audio ground. On your computer audio interface device. Then you take the other AC voltmeter lead. And you connected to the ground of the device you are plugging into. Such as a guitar amplifier input. And if you read more than 60 V AC.. You probably shouldn't touch those connections with your fingers. You'll get a charge out of it. But as long as it does not indicate, 100+ volts AC. You should be relatively safe. But should you read, 120 volts, for instance? You will have both feet, in the grave. If you touch both of those connections. So don't do that. That's how people get killed. I've seen a guitarist, singer, killed. I saw a top radio station DJ. Nearly get fried. I saw an expensive, DJ Sound System. Go up in one huge black puff of smoke. And it looked just like it did, in the old black-and-white comedy films. His face was black with soot. And poor old Bill Spicer's system got charcoal fried. We had a great laugh over that. He was a competitor to our, Recording Studio, sort of. And a former trade school teacher of mine. So watching that happen was doubly good! Really Bill? You wired your replacement AC plug upside down? And you didn't check it with a voltmeter. Good for you teach! Of course I did not say that to Bill. But me and my studio business partner had a great laugh over that. Because we were there. With another studio partner owner. From the biggest studio in Baltimore. Where I had gotten my first job years earlier. And so did another very famous engineer. Who recorded Earth Wind & Fire. A few years later. And became famous. And recorded so many others. More than I've done. And I've done a lot. From miserable beginner, Garbage Garage Bands. To those, Billboard Chart Toppers from places like England and the USA. Broadcast regionally and worldwide on the MTV Satellite. When it was still a thing in the 1990s. When it actually had something to do with, the modern lexicon of pop music. Some bands were really good. Some bands not so much. Which I'm being kind over. There used to be a line of very, inexpensive, Taiwanese made, DI Boxes. You could purchase from RadioShack. And I purchased a bunch. They were all low impedance to high impedance or high impedance to low impedance, unbalanced to balanced and balanced to unbalanced. And then I would purchase a, 1/4 inch, splitter cord. With a single socket input and 2 plug output. And then you plug that in between the, guitar/keyboard/bass. And the little Y splitter cord. Allows pass-through to the amplifier. And the output to the, impedance converter. With a 3 pin XLR, output. And as horrible as those $0.98, Taiwanese, audio transformers are. Well? If they saturate up a bit from excessive level. It might also slightly approximate, Analog Tape. But if that's not what you want? Then turn the guitar volume control down. So you don't overload and saturate that, $0.98, Taiwanese transformer. And you make up the gain difference. In your software. And no big deal. Then you get a cleaner sound without saturating the transformer. And it does the job you need it to do. With less saturated distortion. And that was with a cheap, homebrew RadioShack, plug-in adapter thingy, kludge. And as crappy as that is. It sounds like this. From my, 1987 recording here. Through my, Soundtracs 16-8-16, portable audio console. With the worlds, Cheapest, crêpe microphone preamp. Of a single, 5534, integrated circuit chip, op amp, microphone preamps. In other words, Approximately a, three dollar microphone preamp. And RadioShack impedance converter, DI boxes. Going to a first generation, 16-bit, 48 kHz, portable DAT, recorder. Recorded live with, 12 microphone inputs. Direct to stereo 2 track.. (More Transformations in following post)
And who's to say? There aren't 2 distinctly different series of Homo sapiens? When we may not yet have any testing for that? But there is something definitely different going on here. Some people are rocket scientists. I was just a Broadcast and Music Recording Engineer. That's where I found my talents. My parents were musicians. Professionally. So I had a little inkling.. What my talents might hold? Do stupid people think like that? Do stupid people know what they want to do for a career when they are only 7 years old? Not many. How could I know at such a young age? I just did. There was no question about it in my mind at that age. I was exposed to this stuff. Briefly, momentarily. And instantly absorbed all this knowledge. I don't know how? But I found it. In myself. By the time I was 8 1/2. And blew the mind of my father. He had no talent for engineering. He was technically inept. But one helluva violinist. Mom was one of the world's greatest coloratura Sopranos. And at almost 100 years of age today. Still gets fan mail. From people younger than me her last surviving offspring. Of 2. My younger brother already died this year. He never saw 65. My younger brother never found his talents to use as a career. His quasi-career was not gratifying. Computers burnt him out. There is no consistency there. Other than progress. And with progress you can't have consistency. Some things in life require, consistency. While they slowly progress. Not the other way around. And when you can't find your talent. Life generally sucks. And if you're lucky you have a job. But only if you're lucky and/or live in the USA. Where some opportunity, exists. Unlike many other countries. Where ways of life are forced and enforced. And we have crazies complaining that America is a mess! It is the pot calling the kettle black. I can assure them. And they are the root cause. Let's stop kidding everybody. And it's the, crazed, extremist, ruthless, fascist, Conservatives. That are there current root problem in the USA.. Why must Conservatives. Who don't know what the term, conservative means. Needs to tell other Americans. How to live their lives! Because Jesus commanded them to do so! And they have their religious right of their freedom of speech! To enforce what Jesus told Them, to do to Americans, NOT LIVING A JESUS LIFESTYLE! And I am sorry to inform them. In the USA. That is Not Allowed. As in, Not. As in No. A complex word. Dementia Donnie, no longer can comprehend. Since he never learned it to begin with. It is a total non sequitur. To a boy/man of a questionable, immoral, background. Remember. Keep them Blacks out of their condos for white people! And giving large donations. To their for-profit alma mater. To get there worthless, brainless little, spawn. An IV League Degree! As they ain't got no brain, that works. Therefore their daddies or mommies. Had to purchase them one. And so all of these For Profit IV League, Institutions. Should be all shut down. That's what's failed here. We don't need to have Higher Education. As a For Profit Business. No! No and No. They should all be State Institutions. Like the University of Maryland. Like the University of Arizona. And so on and so forth. And because if you're going to put such a high price on higher education. We fail. Because if rich people don't want to pay any taxes? Higher education should also be free. Beyond that of just high school. It's time. If we want to continue to Lead the World. We need a lot more well educated people. And they're not going to like getting ripped off, continuously. And so there was once a time in the USA. When the wealthy were taxed at about 90%. And guess what? They still remained the most wealthy. And so I say we go back to those times! We simply need a simple question in the ballot box. And the question should read: Do you feel. You would need more than a personal self-worth of over 2 Billion dollars. To live comfortably? Yes or No? Pick one. Now I believe. The great majority. Will answer No. They would not need more than $2 billion of self-worth. To be able to live comfortably. Therefore. What that means is? Anybody worth more than 2 Billion Dollars. In self-worth. Will have to donate the rest. To the USA. And in doing so. They will ensure. Just like the FCC act of 1934. All Americans will have available to them. Free Wireless High-speed Internet Service. Just like radio and TV stations of the past. And yes it will include commercials. That you will not be able to block. Because it must be so.. And then all of the homeless. This is a direct result. Of downtown Gentrification. When you plow down the slums. The people remain. At you have to put them somewhere. Other than just the street. So we have lots and lots of huge empty buildings. Shopping centers. Sports arenas. All pretty much abandoned. As there are no more gross profits to be had. And therefore. They will all be converted. Into housing for the homeless. From the coffer. Of the rich people trust. Set up for the homeless. Which will only take a couple of hundred million dollars. For each of the major cities. And that's a drop in the bucket. That everybody doesn't know what to do about? As we have created our own problems. So the stinking rich. Can get even stickier. And everybody else goes down the tubes. And this is why everybody is so frightened of AI. Because when it starts to run the USA. This is going to be what's going to happen. Because it must. And they will still be the wealthiest. They will still live very comfortably. They will still have everything they want. They will not be suffering any. Meanwhile. They will also go down in history. Bridges will be built in their name. Buildings will be built in their name. Educational institutions will be named after them. We will always remember what they did for us. And that should be compensation enough. To live in the USA. And to be proud what you can do is an American for your fellow Americans. Especially for those that can't help themselves. Isn't that what Christians are supposed to do? Take it from a Jew. I am very right about this. Because I'm also not a practicing Jew. I'm just a beat up Jew. And I've been beat up, by too many ass holes over the years. Physically. And it's building again? Now that I'm pushing 70? (More Transformations in following post)
