Refreshing to find a channel that doesn’t consider every new pedal “amazing” or “game changing”. Honest reviews are few and far between.

this is really sweet you guys....thank you for all the kind words and i appreciate what you are doing here....glad you enjoyed the show.

I own both a tube Princeton and the tone master Princeton. I like the tone master a lot in isolation. Its beautiful sounding...but, when I had them both side by side in the room, the tube version felt better in almost every way. So the lesson for me, is don't compare the 2. Just keep them apart and enjoy them or use them in a wet dry config, so they perform different duties. The tone master makes a brilliant wet amp, due to the hifi nature of it.

Worst new product roll out I've ever seen. I get supply issues, but zero pricing info or even a good set of demos is pure trash.

Instead of swapping P.U.'s, try to make a guitar with adjustable distance between the bridge and the P.U. (I would call it, a movable P.U.). The toan is in the overtoans. Change the distance, and it records different one's. Specifically a bridge P.U. will benefit from being adjustable. You sound like you use freedom units. Let's say 1/4" of movement would be enough. No need to swap/buy expensive P.U.'s (not enough change in toan to justify the cost). $0.02

First I’ll say the guitar that stays in tune first - over the sound - any day for me. The reason I say that is even a $500,000 Gibson Les Paul won’t sound good if it’s out of tune. Also, I’ve had that same issue myself in the past, the way I solved that tuning issue was getting a guitar with an evertune. There was a lot of stigma about how they were hard to use and all that, but they are so simple, it’s not even funny. Fast-forward to now I have four of them. They literally will never ever go out of tune no matter what. You can let the guitar sit for two years and pick it up and it will still be perfectly in tune. It’s crazy. Only problem is they cost about $300-400 more since that’s the cost of the bridge, but it’s well worth it for any gigging guitar player to have at least one in their arsenal. Also to dispel one of the main myths, you can indeed bend with them and it’s no different than bending on any other guitar. In fact I actually like bending on them easier because they’re smoother Bends - it just doesn’t go out of tune. Another option is to get a compensated nut for your guitar that won’t stay in tune (unless it’s just that the nut slot needs some cleanup and lubrication or some graphite). Also can be string trees or binding at the saddle too sometimes. Good luck with the gig either way 👍

When the guitar sounds the same. Yes. I went with P90s and the guitar was a brand new guitar because of the change

You can turn off the cab sim (ir) and run it into the FX return of an amp. I run mine into an EHX magnum 44.

When im not happy with the tone.

I change mine every other Thursday on odd months, whereas on even months I wait for the 1st day after a full moon.

I've heard that the magnets gradually lose their magnetism. Is this a reason to change your pickups?

Gibson es125: 3000 cad in good shape, no more gibson production of laminated archtop, genuine 50s p90 for that price. IMO a no brainer (if you're into archtop and if you can live without a cutaway at least for this guitar).

Tone king ironman is by far the best attenuator on the market for tone preservation.

i ordered the 2 notes one, after testing 30 minutes i packed it and shipped it back. yuck i dont get it

Hard freaking PASS!!

The picture you guys showed was for the 699$ epi Firebird

I like the concept of the show, keep it up guys!

I like my THR5, it sounds good, has a headphone jack. It's small and even has a handle on it. I keep it in the office.

I personally love my Joyo Jam Buddy. It is affordable, super small, sounds pretty good for its size and purpose, it’s rechargeable, and has Bluetooth so you can play with songs/videos/stuff from your phone. Sounds pretty decent for such a small amp/device. You can use it with headphones or through the smaller speakers. I even use mine with a pedal into it too. So it covers all of my travel bases. I’ve tried the ones where you plug into your jack, and they’re okay, but I personally like the Jam Buddy.

These amps may not be the best of the best but they are versatile and great for touring. I know plenty of bands that have left their vintage JMPs and 800s safely at home in place of these. As good as they sound. I did sound for an American band (The Bled?). First guitarist to line check had a DSL - all good. Then the other guitarist did the same with an 800 (likely a reissue) and the two were barely comparable. There’s levels. I know I’m contradicting myself here but as an owner of a 1977 master lead 2203, I’d be happy to take out a DSL as a primary as the old girl isn’t much more reliable! 😂

At this point it’s hard to find a type of pedal that’s underrated since pretty much everyone knows about everything now, but as far as specific models there’s a lot of really great harmonic pedals that make the guitar seeing that flew under the radar into obscurity. My Fuchs plush valve job is a cool tube pedal that sounds great for that tube amp feel. Also the Komet amps KODA pedal. I’m always chasing the “dumble” sound, and those two really hit the mark. Also pretty much _every_ pedal missing link Audio makes is extremely underrated. I didn’t even know they existed as a company until recently and they have a pedal called the super natural that literally nails the Santana sound in one pedal

Earthquaker plumes. From experience. It's like klon/sd1/odr1 The eq and grit sounds super natural

The most under rated pedals are online from manufacturers that don't pay GearTube. THUS, GearTube never hears about them.

Ce is also a bolt on neck with a core type carve compared to set neck of an s2

These amps were known to spend more time in repair shops then on stage.

For recording it's awesome. I wouldn't use it for gigging. Honestly the speakers and mics allows for insane amount of tones. My only complaint is the v30 doesn't sound as good as my cab but I think that's probably because marshall uses a special version that's suppose to mimic the orignal v30s. I've seen them used for as low as $700

JCM 2000s have a bias drift issue that needs to be checked before you gig them

Awesome review! Your perspective helps a lot in making a choice. 🎸👏"

Fractal does have a sound soda's most digital. Think of it like you put a evl12 magnet on your current speaker.

Dude yes. If youve spent hours on the line 6 helix, you realize strymon algorithms arent that great..or lime 6 is that good... If there wasnt loads of parameters id say fractals mix is just high. That their algorithms arent special either.

if that guy actually thinks DSL mean Digital and TSL means tube then find a partner that's not a dummy.

There is only one huge knob in this video!

Terrible

Metal Zone is the most underrated pedal.

Gibson is a joke.

I agree! I play a Blues Jr (tweed with the Jensen speaker) because of those reasons. I play rockabilly, surf, blues, and R&B. I used to play a Twin, which was too loud for just about everything. The Blues Jr is loud enough for most gigs, and larger gigs you are mic'd anyway. And I can practice at home with it also.

Darn good thing you didn't let us hear it.

Pass. even the big box model has never sounded good

ua-cam.com/video/PqK46deoGsw/v-deo.htmlsi=hblwbk0IONTU7TLl They sound exactly the same 😂😂😂

Why not pass the gas?

Gas or pass! Haha love it! Subscribing just for that👍😎🎸

Great video! btw i am youre 100 subscriber : )

A lot of my favorite pedals end up being in the 199-250 range which is kind of a bummer because I wish they were a little less. I think the most expensive pedal I’ve ever got was the punchline beach boys pedal from JHS, but I kind of look at that as four pedals in one - a nice compressor, a nice drive, a great super reverb amp sim, and a nice EQ. But that one hurt when I pulled the trigger on it 😳 I also recently got the Horizon clarity compressor which was $199 and I feel that should have been a $150. It’s only $199 because they’re calling it a “limited edition” but apparently it’s been “limited edition” for like a year now lol. But it sounds great so I can’t complain over the extra $50.

Well... good luck out there. At least you're trying... But talking about tone is way less interesting than actually hearing the tone. Lots of competition out there... gotta make your stuff vital and valid. Just sayin'... Rock On...!

I like the Princeton Tone Master - it's very close, sound wise, to the tube version. It's great for small spaces with the attenuator & it's a breeze to move around. I don't add many pedals to it though, I have other amps for that.

Just subscribed, great stuff, watched a few gas or pass and just watching first ep now. Hi from Australia, get em yeew

I have used it with my 68 reissue custom pro reverb. However, I run it about 115v. Just takes the edge off. ON my 60s and 70s fenders I run it about 109-112. My wall voltage is about 122-125. So it makes a diff on protecting vintage amps.

I have two. One runs my early 70s Pro Reverb and Dlx Reverb and one runs my 64 Vibroverb and Concert. Works great.

I was lucky to get a solo boost it's on my board. Mythos pedals is opening a high-end boutique guitar store next month.

I mean, if you love everything about a guitar except x and y then mod it. But if you are buying a guitar and the neck shape, or fret size, something major, then buy a new guitar. If you buy it, love it, but you're not jiving with the pickups, or maybe you want to add locking tuners, then mod it. I have multiple Les Pauls that i modded, new pickups, new locking tuners, new locking tailpiece and studs. Not major upgrades, but these changes brought guitars that i already loved to another level and made me love them even more.
