@@KevinSaundersPaperAirplaneGuru I actually didn't have to, they fit perfectly with no drilling required

@@Luke-Emmanuel Thanks man! Underrated amp for sure

Thanks for checking it out, first video from Florida, how sad is that? Gotta make more!

@@sunnishine100 My hopes were dashed many moons ago. BRRF is done either way

@@jrosales2663 Interestingly I've been using it live with my Ampero II sent to the CD Player input on the front, I find that's the best audio quality for the power amp. Good power and sounds great live anyhow 🤘

Gotta love some death metal 🤘

Interestingly I've used it live recently and my band mate had 2 on stage today, it's cheap but very reliable and sounds good. A quality Amp I must say

Just used it for a show today, easily outdid my Peavey Windsor for the same application. It's my new live rig with a modeler at the moment 🤘

I plan to buy one and mod the clipping diodes (red and green) with IRF530 transistors and 10mm Blue LED which I had wonderful results on my DS-1 pedal.

I believe they are. It's been at least 2 years since I made that video haha. Still an awesome upgrade to this day 🤘

@KPGuitarStudios nice thank you. I bought that guitar as a mod project and was thinking about getting a set of hipshot tuners so I don't gotta do a bunch of drilling, lol

@@gaberamey2273 I was fully expecting to need to drill and it turned out they fit perfect with no issues and those were the D'Addario self cutting lockers. They work great

@KPGuitarStudios did you ever upgrade the pickups? Cuz I was thinking about getting an emg solderless wiring kit and installing some retro active super 77 humbuckers

@@gaberamey2273 Sadly not yet. I tend to use it as a lead guitar for recording and I've got 8-38s on it. I've been busy setting up bass rigs for a cover band and I'll need some wide versatility for 4 different tribute bands I'm working on. Lots on the go!

It's terrible and unfortunately it's why snakes can get away with it at least once, possibly more like in this case. 2024 and onward should hopefully be off the table, we will have to see what unfolds

I realized later that it was my noise gate for the clean tone. Amateur hour when I made that video

@@KPGuitarStudios Those things have actually done that to me before. Just remembering that now. 👍

Thank you! 🤘

Thanks man! I always try to carve out some frequencies and fill them back in with my tones so it's easy to hear that I'm playing along. It's a fun song to play, Dino's got that killer right hand 🤘

This JS22 model is not bad, I can say that the tuners and bridge are the weak points of this instrument. Nothing that a new bridge and gotoh locking tuners won't fix. I have a white JS22 and I'm thinking about changing the bridge, tuners and humbuckers.

With a preference for smart ass guitar players 😛

Indeed.

@@heatherwade2373 I couldn't for the life of me remember what I said in the video, I must have said something about not sure who it's for?

It seems like he scammed pretty much every event he's put on, absolute psychopath Mr Slye and his family are

Sounds good, which upgrades are you looking at? I will be replacing pickups still and bridge likely, hopefully I don't need to do anything else at this point. It has been a good lead guitar with super light strings in my case

Yes sir, he's a descendant of a long line of scammers. Let's just hope this year's never happens and he's blacklisted from the entire entertainment industry

Awesome! They are a great little entry into the metal guitar world. I'll be swapping the bridge and pickups as well but it makes a good lead guitar for me, I've got 8-38s loaded on it in E standard and it works really well for that 👍

Looking at the translation, I'm guessing you're asking what kind of cabinet I was using it with? If I remember I had it running through a cabinet in the Mikko II software and then through my monitor speakers. The cabinet that I have is a custom oversize Veteren Cabinets vertical 212 with an Eminence CV75 on top and an Eminence The Wizard in the bottom. The amp sounds great with both scenarios 👍

ok köszönöm üdv Budapestről @@KPGuitarStudios

Yes and kind of? The opening is an A minor chord with notes all in key but it transitions to other tonal centres briefly. Mikael doesn't know theory so I wouldn't say it has any intentional key especially in the chromatic sections, it's got voice leading through many non-chord tones with resolutions eventually in A.

@@KPGuitarStudios I do not know theory either nor do I understand how people figure out songs merely by listening to it if they do not know any theory, maybe they just remember the sounds of different notes, chords and progressions that lead them there. Thanks for replying, it's a great video!

@@commentarywiseisbias No worries, thanks for checking it out! With regards to learning music, the simplest thing is to get good at intervals. When you can start to pick out intervals and ideally core notes, then you can start to build the framework for learning music. A good ear is all you need, there's no need for theory but it can help when it comes to say playing a solo over the piece or determining if your note choices are technically correct etc. This song is mostly chromatic like a lot of rock/metal but it does have a tonal center in A for sure

Wow thanks! Authenticity is the goal but I'm not always succeeding. The tuners are D'Addario locking and they work SO much better than stock. Seems like most lockers are made well but my experience is that D'Addario, Hipshot and Graphtech are all really good units. Hopefully the fret work is good, it took me 7 guitars until I found one I liked when I got this JS22. Which model are you getting?

That would be quite interesting. I'll see if I can talk to them about it at NAMM, that would be a great customizable feature. They had to set defaults somehow, I'm sure there's a way to make that universal and customized to the user's wishes. Great feedback! Thanks

Hahaha exactly! It was a dud. Also with the new generation, not all roses either, I've got the Duo now and I have had a lot of issues as well, pretty disappointing all around from Rode

According to the Screwed By Blue Ridge Rockfest FB group a lot of people have been getting their refunds. Perhaps follow up and see what you can make happen?

Sorry I meant to reply a long time ago. Definitely, I appreciate their efforts, it was just frustrating to be about 400 people deep and I couldn't hear anything but I do appreciate the efforts. It's good to know that some bands actually do care. Granted not all bands at the event would be capable of doing anything acoustically but for those that could, it was an awesome show of sharing music

@KevinPuumala Glad that other band did something for fans too. It's a shame more bands didn't try to do something. Blue Ride tried to shut down Shinedown's show then they tried to take credit. Other bands maybe didn't want to risk getting black listed from the festivals. SD probably didn't care if they were black listed for what they did. Merry Christmas 🎄

Thanks for checking it out! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

You sound like the first! Haha, definitely lots of flak came at me from this but I appreciate everyone who checked out the video. There have been a few people who seemed to enjoy the delivery. Perhaps the 'love letter' delivery is something that is unique and people appreciate

Thank you! Hey, maybe we should collaborate in the future 😃

Thanks man! The melody part I added is still ringing in my head somehow 🤷‍♂️

They didn't do any of that stuff of course, that would be too expensive and actually beneficial to the people attending the venue so Slye wouldn't agree to that

It's not so much about the amount of people but the problems get bigger and bigger the more people are involved. If they run well, no big deal but in a gong-show situation, they get amplified to ridiculous levels

@@KPGuitarStudios it is for me. I'ma a lil claustrophobic. And all it takes is a crazy thought about being trapoed or trampled on, then I get anxiety real bad and would probably freak the fuck out lol.

@@HailTheApocalypse Ok then, probably don't go to shows like this haha. You find that typical shows, say less than 1000 people are good for you though? I do have an affinity for dive bar shows, they're just so fun!

@@KPGuitarStudios yes I'm more comfortable in venues and dive bars fr. I've just seen a lot of camera shots over festival crowds and I'm like, hell no. Especially in the middle of all that lol. My little 50 yr old ass couldn't handle standing around that long as well. Or again, get trampled on. Of course if I was younger it would be no big deal.

Not a clue, wasted on something or buying a mansion or something. Let's just hope next year is not a go

Thank you, your lack of content on UA-cam is very unsatisfying....

not everyone, is a yougoober ;) at least you could put alittle effort into the playing to do the amp some justice man. it seemed rather sloppy.

Pretty sure Wayne was using the Valvestate 8100 although since this was the successor to it he may have switched later. It does do the percussive guitar tone thing really well. With the right setup, just about anything can sound decent

Haha, you can speak of third party peasants to your heart's content including in an aggressive way should you choose :) I try to include some of my playing rather than using stock music, it's certainly not written by me by performed by me. I'm glad you enjoy it! Thank you for checking out the video and commenting

Editing can be lots of fun. Have to say CapCut with an audio mix in Reaper has been a great way to edit videos faster and with much better result than going all in on Resolve. It's a fun little editor

Giver man, yes absolutely, there's some sort of freedom to having some influence yet being free to not have any pressure on you either. It's like when a band plays dive bars and then gets into small arenas, they all seem to want to go back to the energy and fan interaction of the dive bar

@@KPGuitarStudios Slowly I am starting to enjoy the dive bar scene more. Best shows I have been to have been there.

@@BrianBower The most energy for sure!

100%, creative people just need to create. I mean Kim and I just sat down in the hotel, immediately she's editing photos and I'm looking up a couple of video/audio/business related purchases and next steps. It's great to learn but it's also way to easy to mistake consuming for progress. You need 2 things: info and action. With that you accomplish everything you set out to do and more 🤘
