This is a pretty bare-bones clean tone comparison. I misspoke in the video... The Invective is 20 watts vs. the Laney's 30 watts No reverb, no presence, no resonance, and the dynamics knob on the Laney is at zero. More to come! www.brgmusic.com

    Hi there, thanks for review. I have one specific question: Why would you buy this guitar when there is ex-200? To my eye it seems like the exact same guitar with few differences: color tone, ex-200 is HH while ex-201 is H only, tone control is missing on 201 and 201 has 24 frets while 200 has 22. The price is same(in my country 201 is even more expensive).. everything seems is the same, of course ex-201 is newer, but is that really that important? Am I missing something? What do you think?

    • @benchristopher76
      @benchristopher76 27 днів тому

      It's just another Bastian for the market. I don't pretend to know why they offer the variants they do. I would definitely prefer 24 frets, but I'm just sharing what's available here.

    • @jakubklistinec2528
      @jakubklistinec2528 27 днів тому

      @benchristopher76 thanks for the answer. Ok I had to ask there cause I'm little worried that without the neck pickup it won't be that great, but prefer 24 as well.. hard decision between these two right now

  • @jeisonbedoya1376

    Wow, what a great video, I didn't know the Peavey, but according to my ears, both Amplifiers sound very good, of course the ears of all of us may have something different from my opinion. In my case I would leave the Line 6 for rhythm guitar, and the Peavey for lead guitar since this is a little brighter and could excel in guitar solos. Both sound very brutal but a good EQ could also be done, for those who don't want the Peavey to sound so bright

    Appreciate the video, man. It's pretty obvious to me that the stock speaker is a bass speaker. Has a similar sound to when I play a guitar amp through my 4x10 bass cab. Replaced it with a 70/80 I had on hand and it sounds much more guitar amp-like.

    So, I just did this and now I have buzzing going on over the fretboard. Now, my guitar was to spec as far as string height pickup height truss rod ect, everything was fine, now I have buzzing.. Do i need to go back over this guitar and basic set it up again? It's just weird how it introduced the buzzing now from just a slight shift. I'm using a fender the the high E kept slipping off fretboard and this is why I did this little fix.

    • @benchristopher76
      @benchristopher76 3 місяці тому

      Yes. You'll need to adjust the set up. Sometimes the shift can really throw things off depending on your fretboard radius, etc.

      Not really. I just spun this one to show that the cable doesn't crackle or pop whole moving. I f you plug in, you'd generally just move the cable in line with the guitar, amp, or pedal you're using, not even spinning the jack.

    Considering buying an X2 60 watt with the 12 inch speaker. Never had more than 20 watts, looking for something with descent metal tone for bedroom play and this looks like it could be it. Will the 60 be too loud for bedroom playing? For instance the 20W I have you can just barely turn volume on so it’s very low, and not shaking the walls. Is the 40 or 60 watt vypyr capable of keeping the volume down? Thanks!

    • @benchristopher76
      @benchristopher76 3 місяці тому

      Yeah... just feather the post gain knob and the master to keep the volume where you want it.

    @benchristopher76 Please tell me which combo amplifier to take for playing Trash Metall style in an apartment so that it can sound good at low volume? I'm already tired of these settings all the time, now I have a sound card and plug-ins. I don’t want to bother with settings on my PC, but rather focus on the gameplay, and of course the sound should be good! Now there are all sorts of Boss Katana Gen3, but as far as I understand there is nothing to catch there without a computer or an application for metal...
