@@fornlike you are welcome! 🙏

@@ajlsoundwave 🙏

@@pakuandpakis yes, the thickness will be different as follows: string 1&6 will be the thinist "thickness" vs strings 3&4 which will be the thickest. Strings 2&5 will be thicker than 1&2, but not as thick as 3&4. So there are 6 saddles, only 3 different heights as pairs. Does this make sense?

@@ajlsoundwave Alan, thank you so much for the info. It helps a lot! I'm your new subscriber! Thanks again.

@@pakuandpakis Anytime - thx for subscribing and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask / comment!

Nice video. Thanks 👌

@@alpuhagame Right on! Yeah, depending on guitar pickups i use, sometimes the fractal sounds really good... the plugin is usually passable but the amp is always the smoothest! thx for watching and good ear🙏

@@ajlsoundwave Thanks for the input! I've been playing exclusively with amp sims since 2011 because I couldn't afford real hardware but now I could afford to spend $500-1000 on equipment and I'm just going for SS-11B to test how real tubes feel comparing to all digital. Today there's so many things you can do, you can even plug real JCM800 into a cab sim with load box /attenuator and record/monitor it directly into PC without blowing up neighbours. I feel amp sims are pretty good today but I just wanted to experience that authentic tube feeling and dynamic response on a crunch setting. I like the idea of using my hands to control gain from very clean to a bit overloaded sound.

@@alpuhagame Again... RIGHT ON! So another really good signal path that is "in expensive"... get a really good amp sim w/ built in cabinet - I like the Neural DSP plugins; I think I paid 99$ for the Soldano 100, which they also let me upgrade for free to the Soldano 100X - which is really good... so I'll then plug various preamps or pedals DIRECT into my interface, then pick a "clean" amp from the Soldano 100x plugin and it's pretty amazing the results. I've not tried other cab IR's just yet... however, as said before, I too prefer a real tube amp to allow for the gain to be relative to how hard I hit the note... However, for loudness concerns or late night recording, it's definitely good to experiment with preamps / pedals etc. Cheers! Alan

​@@ajlsoundwave Hey Alan, I didn't mention but throughout the years I've been using all kinds of amp sims, starting from TSE, Amplitube, Guitar Rig, Bias FX, Mercurial, and now I'm rocking the Neural DSP (Cory Wong, The Amp Snob one). I was able to do all that because of pirating, and there are many "couch guitarists" out there doing the same, almost in every country. I promise I'll buy everything after I go out commercial but at least I can evaluate and do some research, which is a blessing in this economy. However, I think that even though technology progressed that far away, it still doesn't do the same as real tube. Specifically, I'm interested in what 12AX7 (and similar other tubes) can do compared to just plain digital sound. I'll totally try to use tube preamp + Neural DSP, however I think I wouldn't be using gain knob, only master (power amp one). Again, thanks for this demo - it gave me more confidence to commit to this purchase :)

right on! 🤘

Hi Charlie - in short it depends on how many tracks you are trying to record at one time. It's an 8 bus board, so if you are trying to track through certain FX or hardware, you will be limited to 8 stereo busses... HOWEVER, this board comes with direct outs so technically, if all you are using the board for is the mic preamps w/ or without EQ, you can use the direct outs to feed whatever you want without having track limitations. This board has an EIN of -129 db which is actually much quieter than some high priced studio consoles. I use this primarily for summing, but I would not hesitate to use it for tracking. What would you be interfacing this with? i.e. what recorder / DAW or interface do you have in mind? Cheers! Alan

Your comment this morning made my day - so thank you!!! 🙏

Right on Bryan - so I use all 3; I think the fractal gets the most used on client recordings because of "ease of recall", but the amp is used for getting that really warm sound...

@@TheKevinSchollProject thx Kevin. they all have their place for sure 🙏

@@ericmcfarland3564 what model bridge and can you shine a light into the studs to see if there is a set screw?

I have a rg420fb ,Ibanez bridge not sure the model name doesn't look like a set screw in the stud looks like a small hole wrenches won't fit

@@ericmcfarland3564 I looked your guitar up and it does come with an Edge III tremolo - here is a link to the manual for that tremolo and on page 2, it does not show a set screw, so basically, you would only adjust the 3mm key on the stud. Here's the link - see if this looks like your tremolo. www.manualslib.com/manual/540824/Ibanez-Edge-Iii-Tremolo.html?page=2#manual

@ajlsoundwave Yes that's it ,so I guess just tighten them all the way down and go with it? Thanks much for all the help I can't see very well

Hi Bill - I hope you are well. So you have 1 right and two that are flipped... I'll probably wait one more day to post the order...thanks for listening!!!

@@shawnharnish3934 I spent 5 days working on the fractal and soldano so that it would be a challenge... Bonnie got 1 right.. so if you had to guess, what order would you choose? hope u have a great weekend. 😁

@@ajlsoundwave 1 soldano 2 tube amp 3 fractal

@@shawnharnish3934 thats correct 🙃👊

@@metal31 👊😁 will follow up in a day or 2 my friend! Enjoy the weekend.

Right on Wayne... I will be disclosing the results in a day or two....

Right? Well, the old school amp guys frown on Amp Modelers such as the Fractal and/or Guitar plugins to create the sounds. For this example, I'm creating the exact same parts using all 3 ways to record guitar - and the goal was so show that all 3 are actually / equally acceptable and in context, can sound very much the same or still have an acceptable "vibe". I use all 3 in my studio for many clients / projects and (although) I still prefer a real tube amplifier over anything, the fact I can use the other 2 makes "recall" very easy in case I have to correct anything on a track... Cheers Don- hope you and the fam are kicking A$$.

@@ajlsoundwave mission accomplished! They all sounded great 👍. We are doing well, living the dream 🙂

@@donaldhosie ...living the dream...every meal's a banquet!

oh man, thanks - I appreciate the watch and feedback - CHEERS!

Wow - AWESOME! I think you'll like the RG and the neck is crazy thin. So, the saddles? no issues... but I know those who CRANK DOWN too hard to lock the string are those who break them... so my advice... all you need is to "snug" them, then go a little further which is not as tight as I see some people doing it... Def. keep me posted on your guitar and if you have any problems, please reach out. I still use mine for many clients / session work and can't say enough about how good of a guitar it is. Although, for my personal taste, I did swap out the pickups and I wanted the Red bishop bar upgrade...

thx Bryan - he was a super human being and my family as well as many friends miss him.

I am very happy for you in that you found a guitar that you enjoy to play and be creative! Good luck and thanks for stopping by for the chat. Alan

@@ajlsoundwave Thanks brotha! Good advice and setup tricks too!

@@NonnyStrikes thx my friend for the kind words! I def. have to check out the line 6.

Dude, I just checked out the Shuriken - looks / sounds killer. Have you also looked at the Neural dsp "soldano-x" plugin? it too has the ability to control pitch... pretty slick.

Dang, thank you! I've done quite a bit of vocal work over the years, but usually on other people's songs... This one is with a bunch of friends of mine where we wrote many tracks during the Covid years... ua-cam.com/video/XK9IAij-tBw/v-deo.html

Right on! thx... i know theres a few questionable spots but... 🙏🙃

Hi Eric, the small set screw in the height post is a 1.5 mm size - if you navigate to this video at the 0.38 second mark, you'll see more details. I hope this helps! ua-cam.com/video/tCdCZuqjCEk/v-deo.html

If you are putting on the same gauge strings and going to tune to the same pitch, then in theory, the bridge will "level" to the same position you had prior to a string change. One trick I like to do if I'm just changing strings... do them one string at a time and this way, the bridge only moves back a little until you bring the new string back up to pitch... But if the bridge sits all the way down because you removed all of the strings, take the trem bar and use that to help move the bridge until you get enough string tension...

@@ajlsoundwave Brilliant I'll try that. Thanks for the comment. 👍👍

Thx! This was definitely a fun one...

Right on - thanks for the visit and listen!

Right on - I tried to make sure I covered all of "what needs to be done" but clearly having others like yourself view and give feedback helps! thank you. Alan

I almost always use standard tuning. I think it's because I"m lazy and I use my guitars for many things and dislike "retuning"... lol... But, that also means I should buy more guitars so that I can LEAVE them in other tunings... The for watching and have a great day! Alan

I know the feeling...but I'm not certain this version is as ACCURATE as I did on the cover version (see pinned post) where I think some of the runs at the end are more accurate... cheers!

@@ajlsoundwave Ok, on the first sequence, at the end of the first bar, when you descend, the note choice that I have used is slightly different than yours. I will try your note choice, and see if that helps.....it is SO hard to get this!

@@ianmacneil556 now, if you REALLY want to challenge yourself... start the picking sequence using UPSTROKES!!! it took me years to get it with starting on downstrokes, but another comment here under this video claims the sequence really starts using upstrokes... so I decided to try it... I recco practicing it as it will actually make the downstrokes better.

@@ajlsoundwave Ok great! I will try this too! I'm sure there is a "trick" here that I haven't figured out....after all, it's R&R! :)

@@ianmacneil556 the trick is getting a "cadence" between the L and R hands so it flows like a rhythm... but to do this, I'd start at half speed using a metronome... then start to increase the speed... patience wins in the end and it might take a few weeks for it to feel "natural". From what I've been told, JW actually created this lick as an exercise to improve picking... good luck!

right on, thx for the watch and feedback!

@@Billkwando interesting. I have not noticed it but will def. look!!! thx for the tip.

@@ajlsoundwave I looked and I think your trem is so low it might be obscured by the body route.

@@Billkwando right, hence why I use the top of the saddle as the "flat edge". All in all, there is no absolute; all players preference and I know some who prefer it to be tilted slightly back which brings the strings a tad closer...

@@ajlsoundwave There IS an absolute, but whether folks choose to ignore it is up to them, haha. I do the same thing with sighting the bridge saddles on my Gotoh, but I have a couple JS guitars and on them you can clearly see the horizontal line on the side of the Edge. I guess the RG is just built different. Maybe something to do with it having a pickguard?

@@donaldhosie i eat my wheaties and peas. 😝

Right on! 👊😎

Right on. Although today I play it much closer, at the time, it's the best I had with my attempt. Thx for watching!

When you buy the full kit, it comes with all of the parts that you see in this video. Take a look on the website as I think it shows s parts list as well... hope this helps!!

wow, thanks man! 👊👊👊😀

That's a great track and another impossible killer solo!!!

thx!!! 😁🙏

Right on!!! thx for watching and chat! 🙏😎

Muy bien, gracias por escuchar y comentar.🙏

THX!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Right! I think it was Star Licks maybe? all I know is VHS to learn solo's was painful... I still think I have a few of these kicking around...🙏🙃

Thanks - one of my favorites and I didn't want to flub it up... cheers!

Right on! Cheers - Alan

Right on! so yeah, I can't even imagine going back to the stock setup... the RB is a great product... INTERESTING - I saw a winger vid were Reb looks like he replaced one on his guitar as well!!! rock on and thx for the visit, watch and comment 🙏

Truth be told - the mechanics of guitar is really about how fast your "brain" works.. yes, there's the "feel" and muscle memory from HOURS and HOURS of practice, but when it comes to fast passages, it's like any other sport and relies heavily on thinking quickly... hope you are well DON!!!

Right on - glad this helped you! 🙏😁

Rigth on - although I'm probably not 100% accurate, it's about the closest I can play it... thanks for the watch and feedback! Alan
