Great jam, my friend!!! Nice job!!!🎸
I went through a similar search for tone. But the amp I found that’s dug it’s way in like a tick that gave me what I wanted- to throw the pedalboard in a drawer and go straight into an amp and sounding fantastic clean, or dirty and everything in between - it ended up being a FSR wine red 1x12 Princeton Reverb. Came with a Jensen P12Q, and solid wood construction. It is the best amp that I’ve ever heard in a room not named Magnatone. Funny story. I then kept searching bcuz of people like the guy you’re talking about- I figured surely pcb must be the devil, right? Well- I’ve now played 3 vintage blackface princeton reverbs, 2 silverface ones, and some assorted vintage fender amps like a blackface deluxe etc. and guess what? None of them come close to my fsr bordeaux 1x12 princeton reverb. So I decided that was my amp. I still keep searching for something better old or new- and the only amp I’ve ever heard or played that definitely beats it is nearly $4k after tax- and that’s the magnatone panoramic stereo 2x10. Maybe someday I’ll get it. But till then- my princeton reverb is the amp of my dreams. It sounds so good with no pedals that it makes me and anyone in the room make stinkfaces. The trick is to use a little reverb and vibrato on everything. It sort of spins the notes around the room in 3d and turns little undertones into a beautiful soup of yum. And the natural overdrive that comes on around 4-5 on the volume knob sounds better than any overdrive pedal I’ve used, and I’ve been thru plenty. I have had 0 issues with the amp for years now. An amp nerd told me a few things that may have helped with longevity- Always keep a speaker load plugged into it when on. When I first turn it on I don’t start immediately cranking it, I let it warm up a tiny bit first. And lastly I don’t turn it off and then right back on. I’ve never had an issue. I keep it on a tilted back amp stand. I try to not use pedals on it with the volume beneath 4
@@WithCarePlz yep sounds like you found your sound, I guess we all chase it no matter what,,, but it’s fun and sometimes expensive. Keep on keeping on !
I love this guitar. I'm torn between the natural or aged black finish.
Sweetwater is the best. Thanks for all the insight on amps. Very interesting and informative!
Cool, Jeff!! Sounds great, my friend!!!🎸
My wife bought me that Sunset Strat after i had a real close call, 5 days in ICU last year. It's become my number one for worship and college ministry. As far as amps, it's the ones that we/ I can't wait to play. Tend to prefer tube or hybrid, modelers just fall apart if there's another guitar with a real amp, but in some cases they're the best option.
Great instrumental Jeff, btw I left a link to your comment for backing track to "Passionate Blues Guitar"....good luck with it. Like 22.
@@daviemcf thank you Davie
So did you just start playing 5 years ago? I just started this year. I’m 60. Hope to get where you’re at. Gives me hope!
@@MascarasMil just practice and don’t get discouraged and you’ll do fine ! It’s like anything you get back what you put into it. Play on.
I'm ur age , more of us around than one might thk . Liking a early 70s fender bassman w 2x12 cab . Tht Friedman iv played a lil bit , sweet amp there . Ok I'm subbing up . Keep em coming .
@@tomfoolery2082 thanks 🙏
180 bucks to fix my fender frontman 212R today. The servicemen said he won't touch any peavey. The parts are hard to get or unit has to be shipped out. I'll stick with older Fender amp til I can find a 77 super reverb. Not ready for a tube amp anyway
Super robotic with little to no feel. It's wild seeing that kind of gear and then hearing this.
Hey There my Man , Wonderful to see you. Hope all is going well with you and the family.🙏 Sure was some beautiful playing.👏 It always is. Take care and stay safe. 👍☺
@@LifetimeBiker thanks mate, hope all is well in your world ! Tell your wife and family 👋 and hope you all stay healthy and safe
My favorite 🕶️

You’re a man of few words but your guitar 🎸 playing says it all ✅. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵🩵
Just found you on you tube a couple of weeks ago and very much enjoy your blues! Great Stuff. I am currently trying to learn to play this type of blues. Slow and with feeling.
@@EdTindall thanks Ed, just practice, don’t get discouraged, don’t give up on yourself, and you will do just fine.
So good to see you again Blues-man. Nice Nice playing enjoyed it very much, Thanks You. Love those Paul Reed Smith's. Your looking good hope all is good with your wife and family. God Bless and Take Care
@@subaquagene608 thanks so much God bless you and your whole family.
Nice!!
Very nice Jeff!!!!!
i see your getting nice collection guitars of keep on rocking blues man
Thank Bill
I got 3 small amps. Tubes and Solid State. I get any tone out of them I like and this varies. So far I had no issues and am happy. I do not get them fixed, but buy the very same one again. They are such good cheap amps I do not care about anything. And with 71 in your case I would stop chasing tones anyways. It is just a waste of time and takes all the sense out of all you might try. This is just how I see your situation.
Oh man, NEVER stop chasing! It's that stuff that keeps you and your spirit young!
@@stratolestele7611 I agree to some degree. I got my last pedal yesterday. Also from Boss and well known. My goal is to reduce my pedalboard to maximally 5. Another pedalboard with all the sounds I like. I am on track now. Anyway everyone should do whatever he likes. If he likes to chase tones why not? It was firstly in his case my opinion and what I did a waste of money. But on the other hand, why this video at all? To be honest 1 guitar, 1 Head and 1 Small Cabinet is my goal. End I have my own spirit and way of life and I am in no ways judging.
Welcome back! I like to listen to you because it’s inspiring 🩷🎵. I’m not very good but I’m not giving up. I know you won’t either ✅. That was really nice. Thanks 🙏. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵💖
Thank you 🙏
I went down a similar rabbit hole when I got back into guitar some years ago. So many more choices now and varying opinions. Started out with the digital stuff (not as heavy, more "features"), including the Boss Katanas, Roland Blues Cube, the Boss Cube Streets, Blackstar Debut 50, a Helix Stomp pedal through a PA, etc., but wasn't satisfied with them (except for home practice). Also bought some tube amps: a Vox AC10, a few Blues Jr.'s eventually and Monoprice's 15-watt tube amp, but returned or sold those. Even bought a higher-end Mesa Boogie Mark 5 amp, but it sounded very boxy. After all that, I realized the best amps I ever had were the simplest tube ones: The Fender Pro Junior IV and Monoprice's 5-watt tube amp. I sold those at the time, but now that I know more and have been in some bands, my new Pro Junior IV (SE model this time, though the tweed one is just as good) has really been impressing me. Relatively light weight (23 lbs), easy to dial in (just 2 knobs), keeps up with a drummer and band easily, has a nice Fender sound, and doesn't sound boxy. They key is to put together a good pedal board for it (even a small one with just an overdrive, boost, and delay or reverb may be all you need). I may buy that 5-watt Monoprice tube amp again, too, and then be done with it. Went down a similar rabbit hole with guitars, too...
Yeah! Great job, jeff!! Well played! Love your studio!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Being old (69) I was raised with tube televisions and stereos. My dad fortunately invested in the best they had back in the early 1960's. I've always loved tubes, and in recent decades tube amps, which I've accumulated a few of. Little old tube amps running on a couple 6V6 or EL84 power tubes for the most part, Gibson and Ampeg, but a couple good clones too. A 1964 Deluxe Reverb clone with Weber 12F150, and VOX AC10 (JMI circuit) head through an Avatar version of a Celestion blue (A25) 12" speaker cabinet. Those old Gibson amps have gone way up in value recently, but the Ampeg amps can still be bought at excellent values. Look for an old Mercury, Jet, or Rocket from the golden era, they have some on Reverb last time I looked, under $1K for most of them. Lyle at Psionic recommend the new Vox AC15C (not AC15CC, which is a different version). He doesn't like the AC10C as much, which I understand from the tech perspective, but it sounds great and is light weight, plus you plug it into a larger cab for a bigger sound. It gets the top boost sound to my ears, maybe not a real AC30 but similar. Friedman makes good sounding amps, I've heard good things from most users, not anything bad yet. My latest love is a Marshall JTM-1H, I was dubious but it really does get THAT SOUND, even the 1 watt is too loud at overdrive, for that you hit the .01 watt button on the back (a push-push). Incredible sounds from what appears to be an overpriced (don't ask me what I paid) little piece of tech with few components, but it gets THE SOUND...!
tubes always win!
Sounds great, Jeff!! Cool performance!!!🎸🔥
Thanks so much I appreciate your comment.
Too much reverb for blues.
Excelente jam bluesman! grandes frases! like friend
Thank you 🙏
Very good job Blues man ! 👍👍You’ve got a new supporter … I just subscribed to your channel. BIG like 19 I wish you all the best from Flanders/Belgium.
Thanks so much I appreciate it, hope you have a great weekend.
I really like that song. Great jam!
Thanks Mike, I appreciate it have a great weekend.
Hey man, you are a good guitar player. Don't sell yourself short. Always make it fun and keep smiling.
Thank you 🙏
Hello Jeff, good to see you playing again and glad to see your doing well. Excellent playing as always, just love your laid back Blues style. Have a good week yourself and look forward to seeing you again. Take care and God Bless
Thanks so very much God bless you and your.
I'm glad i didn't have your luck with amps. My Marshall jcm900 at 15 years old never had any problems and never replaced tubes. Sadly because of financial problems i sold it.
Hey Jeff, I had AI write some lyrics for your song - Little Bit of the Blues (Verse 1) Woke up this mornin', rain a-fallin' down, Blues man feeling the blues, in this lonesome town. Got my guitar, got my heartache too, Gonna play a little bit of the blues, just for you. (Chorus) Oh, a little bit of the blues, that's what I need, Just a little bit of the blues, to set my heart free. Playin' my song, under these dark skies, A little bit of the blues, brings tears to my eyes. (Verse 2) Every note I play, feels like a sigh, Blues man feeling the blues, as the days go by. Lost my baby, lost my way, But a little bit of the blues, helps me through the day. (Chorus) Oh, a little bit of the blues, that's what I need, Just a little bit of the blues, to set my heart free. Playin' my song, under these dark skies, A little bit of the blues, brings tears to my eyes. (Bridge) When the night falls, and the shadows grow long, Blues man feeling the blues, just strummin' along. In every chord, and every rhyme, A little bit of the blues, makes me feel just fine. (Chorus) Oh, a little bit of the blues, that's what I need, Just a little bit of the blues, to set my heart free. Playin' my song, under these dark skies, A little bit of the blues, brings tears to my eyes. (Outro) So here's to the blues, and the pain they reveal, Blues man feeling the blues, knowin' they're real. With a little bit of the blues, I'll get by, Just a little bit of the blues, 'neath this midnight sky.
That’s fantastic can you put it together and put it on your channel,, love the lyrics.
Great to see a new video my friend 🙏👏 Sometimes life gets in the way of available time , Just the way it is. Beautiful playing as always.👍 Best wishes to you and the family.❤ Be Safe.
Thanks Andrew, tell your family hello for me. Stay safe my friend.
Make my day again
Thank you Alberto, stay safe.
what shall i buy, epiphone les paul modern figured vs schecter solo 2?
Give them both a try, both are great guitars.
I came to this video to see this guitar. I think you just sold me… beautifully played.
Un gusto Bluesman! Great tone and feeling, new friend. Greetings. Chango
Hello from STL. I'm in the same boat. Looking for that perfect clean Fender sparkly tone. Unfortunalty I don't trust the most recent fenders on the market. (Thank you Psionic Audio) They all seem to cut corners... Expecially for the current exorbiant prices. I was actually looking at the Runt 20 today myself. Ansking myself, am I really going to spend that much for an amp when I primarily a bassplayer. Anyway, glad you like the Runt. I might have to put a few extra pennies asside... Buy once, Cry once!
I tracked down a blackface bandmaster for $800 and a celestion-loaded mesa cab for $300...might not have the features of a late-model fender, but it's built well and sounds inspirational for less money than a pcb deluxe reverb "reissue"
We never ever had problems with PC boards through the decades until manufacture's began cutting corners and components went cheap cheap cheap ! Leave the Boss Katanas well alone, ( fools gold ) you WILL pay !
Fab video, loving all the tones you're getting... rock on brother!!!
Nice jam Jeff! Always great to hear your playing 🙂
Lyle knows his stuff,I am looking at the new Bad Cat amps,your Runt is a nice amp,thanks.
The Grand Poobah of tube amps is Uncle Doug. Check out his channel. He is the cool uncle l never had.
Bluesman, I really like that tone you're getting can you share your amp settings and how you are getting it?
Fender deluxe reverb tone master treble and bass set on 5 using a boss blues driver, tc electronics bucket bergade all settings mid way reverb on amp set on 5. Thanks for watching my channel.
Love the slow relaxing type of Blues. Trying to learn how to play this type of Blues. Great Job.
