Sad I don’t have a whammy 😭😭🥺
Honestly I would rather have a set bridge over a whammy at this point, a lot of tedious work.
I tighten mine properly only turning it three or four times and when I get it to try hit the string, it feels like the entire thing is gonna snap! If I tighten it less than 3x, it too loose ans just swings arojnd
I'd recommend picking up a tension spring! They're really cheap and will fix that problem 😊
Got my first pedal and I had no idea why it wasn't working until I watched this video. God bless you, bro.
Glad it helped! Enjoy your new pedal 😊
12-56 can easily handle A standard or even drop G#. I use 10-52 for B flat or drop A. Getting that warble sound is usually a hallmark of down tuned genres such as sludge, Stoner, doom, blackened crust. Plus neck scale must be taken into account weather 24.75 or 25.5 length.
I want to go try these now lol
Give it a go! 😄

Great guide. I used it to set up my electric guitar and it plays really well. Thank you .
What is the amp settings?
It's not so easy when you want an action lower than Doggerland haha! Brilliantly well presented video.
When it comes to a very picky setup, I feel that shimming the nut, bridge saddles (on a floating bridge), neck joint all come into play, and there's a certain point where probably sending it off to a PLEK machine is the only way to get things to where you like it. For me, it comes with hours over months of tiny adjustments to finally get a guitar playing like I'd like it to.
You deserve more views ✨
Thank you! 😊
Very straightforward advice thanks. I've just tried your linked items and it says not available in the UK do you have any other suggestions ? Many thanks Ryan
Can these strings be put on a baritone guitar? For drop C tuning?
Deliciously precise explaination. Thanks.
I just got one today. I've got a 14-pin Boss OD-1 on my board, i think this is better. I know they do different things, but i think this is my new favourite pedal (and i also have a Klon KTR - but this just does something DIFFERENT). An awesome pedal
That's awesome 😊 glad you're enjoying your new pedal!
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.
I wanna know to I can make my pickup covers and pickups white again... I hate them going yellow...
I'm not sure on whitening them, but you can replace them with new ones! Single coils should just pop straight out without any soldering 😊
thanks from malaysia <3
sustain at max, volume to taste, tone at 11, tune down to C standard... enjoy
Absurdly helpful, thank you.
Thanks Chris! 😊
Great video! What size hex key you use for the string saddles?
Thanks! I'm using a .059" for this Strat. But, my other Strat (and I think most modern ones now) take a .050" hex.
I tried Not Even Slinky and hated every bit of it. I use Power Slinky now. 11-48

I was wondering, im kinda dumb when it comes to stuff like this but i want to buy this pedal, do i Just use normal cable like the one i use to plug my guitar?
No worries! Yes, its the same cable but you'll need two - one to connect the pedal to your guitar, and another to connect the pedal to your amp. I've got a video explaining how to set up and use it here: ua-cam.com/video/zS3FXKmOd7o/v-deo.html
Hi, what's the background music?
Pls.. I watched this video 10+ times just cos I love the music even though I don't have a guitar 😂
Hey - it's stock music on the software I use, but it's called "Fly Shroom" by Giants' Nest 😊
@@ConorRocksYT omg thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@ConorRocksYT i was watching your video again hahahahaa
@@yj7000 No worries! 😄
My string broke wrapped around my arm and left red marks and lumps on the 7th step lol
Thanx i'm a beginner...
That's great! Good luck on your guitar journey! 😊
👌✨😎..😎✨👍
This was very helpful unless...you've got a Fender Jaguar...just kidding, not.
lmao that's a good point. weird choice by Fender!
@@ConorRocksYT Yeah, btw, Here is a great helper video idea too: Leo made both the Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars and their Bigsby like Vibrato specifically to appeal to Jazz guitarists and thus the super short 24" scaled Jaguar option was born that does allow easier pinky reach for more "radical" Jazzy chord shapes but (unlike the REALLY straight of FLAT break angle of Strats and Tele's) the guitars also have (for some reason I still don't know about) their much higher "old school Jazzbox" string break angle at the bridges too that, IF NOT SHIMMED FOR PROPERLY at the neck pocket, will cause Mysterious and Nightmarish intonation phenomena/problems and bridge or saddle buzzing due to a lack of the NECESSARY downward string pressure. If a Jazzmaster-Jaguar is set up wholly properly with proper NECK ANGLE FIRST and so on and so forth and maybe with a tiny bit of Lock-Tite at the saddle screws and bridge threads to keep them from vibrating loose and down and out of place then, you can absolutely use your OEM stock bridge as is, no problem. Otherwise many less dedicated or finally disgusted fans of the Jaguars just opt to put in the superbly made British "Stay Trem" bridge that costs Half what a Mastery bridge does too. Jaguars even have less Fundamental and MORE HARMONICS in their Note delivery! That's something worth trying out for most curious guitarists, no?

been a while since I saw someone else with a marauder, nice
They're great aren't they? 😊
Thanks for the video! I've got a whammy bar from Fender parts for my MIM Stratocaster, but it doesn't appear to fit well. It never stops moving when attaching. =(
Thanks! I'd suggest picking up one of those tension springs, it should help keep it in place 😊 let me know how you get on!
can we get one of these for a slayer sound? :o
Good idea, I'll have a look! 😄
Great Video Thanks!!!! 😁
Thank you! 😄
guns n roses or AC/DC amp settings please! love the content btw. <3
Great shout, I'll see what I can do! Thank you 😊
can you do guns n roses? or AC/DC? please even though I dont have petals it sounds really similar to the song!
Thank you! I'll see what I can do 😄
I have always been terrified to change my strings, but you explain it really well and I can see it's not so complicated if done correctly. I feel brave enough to try it now. Thanks for this video!
That's awesome, I'm really glad this helped you out! 😊 enjoy your new strings!
I still think it makes no sense to call the High-E the first string. Standing up straight its the string on the right and when the guitar is in position it is the bottom one. Either way it makes more sense to call it the last one since we read left to right and top to bottom Edit: and in terms of sheet music the low E is called E2 and the high E is called E4. And 2 comes before 4... so...
You and me both! But, that's what people called it 🤷♂️
@@ConorRocksYT + when you talk about the strings you say EADGBE not EBGDAE. The only logic I've found is because they put them in order from thinnest to thickest.
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this!
Does this string stretcher remove the coating off of coated strings ???
Nope! Not unless you did it for absolutely ages (but that would damage any string!)
