Thanks for Comparison 🥰🥰
Buys product, ignores manual, proceeds to use product the exact way the manual says not to...posts a "scathing" review about how dumb or bad it is that it doesn't function how he wants it to. Come on man, this is an absolute L. I came here for education and worried I bought a tuner that may not be accurate and I get this...
This has been an excellent comparison. Exactly what people unsure of what to buy need. Thanks so much for all the efforts!
Thanks a lot, mate 🙏😎🎸
Thank you so much for doing this!
Thank you for leaving a nice comment!
Bahaha what a piece of shit, thanks for the honest review. Ill cross these off my list of possibilities
please dont give up. i really find your videos very informative
Thanks a lot for the encouraging words - this helps to keep the channel alive 🙏😎🎸
I don’t see why anyone would even want to daisy chain pedals off a tuner…sounds like you’d be asking for potential noise issues by doing so. Walrus audio designs pedals that require a high amount of current, so they recommend isolated power for their pedals. Same reason you don’t see any of their pedals with a 9v battery option.
Looks like I haven't explained clear enough - the power supply has 2 outputs with 500mA and 3 outputs with 100mA, one of the 500mA outputs is already in use by a high current pedal. In 2024 selling a very modern tuner with one elementary feature missing is kind of weird, sorry.
Excellent review! I've got my finger hovering over the buy button on a secondhand model and it's great to see an unbiased, in-depth review.
Thanks a lot, I'm always trying being unbiased and give you guys my real opinion 🙏😎🎸
Hi, Could you explain how to adjust the pickup height. I could see its got 4 screws to adjust instead of 2 ( which is new for me )
thank you friend. this explains why people have said the tone king is dull sounding.
Glad I could help, yes IMO the line out has to be improved!
Good job
Thanks a lot, mate 🙏😎🎸
Amazing Video. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
I have the same Thornbuckers but uncovered in a strat body. I found them too bright and tending a bit thin. I changed the 500K pots (which I bought specifically because we are always told humbuckers should have 500K pots) with 250K pots. In an amp that sounds good for a classic strat, these pickups are now in about the same general tonal range. It was most weird when a huimbucker guitar sounded brighter thasn a strat! Problem now solved. The mess that is pickup wire color coding was a pain for me too.
Interesting - many thanks for sharing your experience.
I tried to tune to drop D and now I am so fucked, no string can be tuned now lol stupid floating trems
Wouldn't pink noise have been better?
I think it does not matter that much - it's all about the frequency changes/differences.
@@RockGuitarVibes Pink noise more closely resembles music though. Sure white noise may reflect more frequency changes, but it could be stuff that we don't care about because it's noise, not music, and may never actually be present in a practical application.
This is the best video for figuring out what reactive load you should get. The topic itself can make you go down a lot of dark roads that you can get lost on. Thanks for putting this together as i know it was a lot of work editing the video.
Thanks a lot mate - yes, it was really a lot of work, but it was worth the work.
Thanks for that, love.X-Load for the win!
Nice video. I have an amp with a built-in Two-notes topedo load box and I.R. simulator. Very convenient for home players.
Is it a REVV?
@@RockGuitarVibesYes. REVV generator120 10th. I know two-notes is not the best, but I don't need to buy loadbox and cab simulator seperaterly. It is good enough for people who play guitar at home like me.
I got this engl cab it weighs a ton but sounds great😊
After installing this blocking mod, can we add a d-tuna ? Because of the blocked Floyd Rose then instead of retuning the D string we can use the d tuna, right ? Another question, can we still pull up AND pull down the floyd while we blocked it at the back ? Sorry for my poor knowledge, I will get my first floyd rose guitar in few days :’)
When blocked you can't pull up the trem any longer - that's how it works. However, dive bombs etc. are still possible. Theoretically you can also install a D-tuna - the issue is, that you'll need some additional space for it, especially when the trem is unlocked and you want to hardly pull the trem. Otherwise the extension part of the D-tuna will touch the body and can only be pulled upwards to a certain extent. The problem can be solved by routing out some wood under the D-tuna. Not sure if it's worth the effort...
@@RockGuitarVibes ok thanks for those informations :D
I hate it when they have nice specs but they fail at the assembly and you got a midrange guitar sold as a deluxe model.
how can we donate to you to help the cause?
Wow, I really didn't expect that! If you would like to donate, please use www.paypal.com/paypalme/rockguitarvibes with subject "Studio Reconstruction After Flooding". Any donation, no matter how large, would be very helpful. Thanks a lot 🙏😎🎸
People shouldn't expect less from you tubers that make clickbait titles like this. Is this a bummer? Very little of a bummer, definitely not worth the title of the video. This is to be expected of even expensive digital pedals and is the reason why serious players get isolated power bricks. Congrats to OP for getting the views and amount of comments his channel needed.
Well, it's no problem if your power supply has enough slots - however, the used power supply has only 5 outlets, that are all in use. So I'm not able to use the tuner without replacing the power supply - that's not what I would have expected from a modern tuner with many good features. I don't know any other *tuner* which isn't able to be used in a daisy chain setup!
Hope that everything will be fine soon. Stay safe and sorry for the news.
Thanks a lot - it is progressing well, and I hope to be able to publish an update soon...
@@RockGuitarVibes Glad to know! Cheers brother

I admire how composed you are in the circumstances, and wish you well with the rebuild. It could have been worse, and now you have the opportunity to make any low level tweaks you may have anyways wanted to implement with your studio infrastructure. For example, have you ever thought of adding CAT cables under the floor and breaking them out into 4 channels of XLR at each end? I really like this method of clean wiring throughout my entire home.
Thanks a lot 🙏😎🎸 I already have CAT cables in the house, but never thougt about using them instead of XLR cables - cool idea!
I've tried both the PS-100 and IM2, and kept the IM2. I've tried it through 4 boutique amps and 3 cabs. It sounds and feels great.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
What exactly are we listening to in the sound examples section? Is it the unprocessed line out signals, or the line out signals going through a cabinet impulse response (which one?)?
It's the line-out through an IR. Clean: Suhr Green Back 4x12 Mid-Gain: AXE 1960TV 4x12 Hi-Gain: don't know, currently I'm rebuilding my studio, so unfortuately I can't check - sorry...
Thank you so much for this video. I will buy the Peterson StroboStomp👌🏻💪🏻
Glad I could help...
I have a power station and have found it to be very neutral and it has a couple pretty nice tone shaping features that come in handy depending on what kind of tones you're after.
White spots on the knobs looks great
keep us updated!! stay healthy!!
Thanks a lot - will do so...
I think the overall impedance curve of these units needs to be taken into account together with input vs output, as you wouldn't see them on a test like this. I wonder if some of them tuned that together with their impedance response to make it hit a certain target together.
I'm excited to look at part 2!
Okay so actually the only issue was two preamp tubes even though the auto bias didnt indicate it?
...and the burned resistors. And I still haven't tested all tubes with a tube tester...
@@RockGuitarVibes ahh ofc! I was fast forwarding the video but saw the burned resistors now!
Hey great video I’m still getting a bad sound though. I’m using a Gibson Les Paul through Friedman 100w head to the ox to Apollo twin onto logic. It’s just so much worse than mics on an speaker. I must be doing something wrong..
Same result when using the headphone out?
I had to send back both of the Ltd I ordered because of qc issues, and was quite bummed as well. Especially since they moved most of the production to Indonesia. These 2, H3 1007B and Arctic Metal 7, were the reasons why I switched to Solar. The guitars are probably made in the same, usual factories anyway, but it seems that Esp doesn't pay enough to guarantee proper quality control compared to other companies. Their Ltd's reaching E2 prices doesn't make it better either. The most shocking part is that you got a Korean model, which are usually good. Guess I'll stick to my 2 Solars. I always wanted Esp as a kid, but fate decided that I shouldn't. After all, I can't just order every model and then send it back if more of the Ltd models are flawed, or Thomann will probably blacklist me lol
Thanks for sharing your experience - it's a shame for ESP! Anyway, I've kept the guitar and let a luthier made some mods. And now it's a pretty good guitar - my follow up video is still missing, but it will come at some point.
Terrifying... Glad to hear that you've been safe (and that you didn't lose everything)... Best of luck with the rebuild, best wishes from France
So true - thanks a lot 🙏😎🎸
What a thorough analysis. Thank you.
Glad if I could help a little...
Sorry to hear that, wish you a good rebuild ! Glad your family's safe
Thanks a lot 🙏😎🎸
I guess Koch Loadbox has a reactive element in it and has a pretty sophisticated DI section - I would be interested to see how it compares....
Aren't all seymour duncan's color coded different than other brands? I always see that when i see wiring schematics for pots. Their green color etc is different than all other brands. (btw good choice on the thornbuckers). I thought both sets sounded great, but the Suhr's sound more classic. I like low output into higher gain boosted with a pedal vs higher output. Both of those sets sound great, the thornbuckers are just more my style, they have that classic more PAF type dynamic.
This video series has been extremely helpful. Thank you doing all this detailed work and sharing it on the internet. The results are illuminating.
Glad I could help!
Hey man this was a great vid! I'm taking just what I was looking for: that I can go from line out to interface and run my IRs in my pc. One question tho... what's the difference of going out through the FX send to the interface?
Thanks a lot - the line out is tapped after the power amp, means more realistic result.
Hi. Line out, I own a Soldano SLO 30 with a Line out, sound is good into the daw with an IR inside, but i want to know if there is a difference with a load Box, since Load Box receives amplifier signal from speaker outlet. Any Information about it? thanks in advance.
The line level is taken from the power amp output which is a good thing - means with your preferred cabinet connected and an IR you'll get the best result at a certain volume level. With a loadbox, the amp can be used in silent mode at any amp volume, but the result will not be necessarily better.
Looking forward to seeing you back in there soon. Good luck with the rebuild
Thanks a lot 🙏 almost reached next level of my studio and then this sh**! Anyway - I'll be back 😎
BEST OF LUCK!!!!
Thanks a lot 🙏😎🎸
@@RockGuitarVibes your amp load box series was amazing . I ended up with a used OXBOX at a great price+ I was able to rent one for awhile first . The BOSS was not rentable but for now I’m super happy. Tx for all your hard work and carry on bros!
@@JohnFraserFindlay True, currently you can get the OX box for little money - especially on the second hand market, so you get a lot of high end stuff for the money.
Sending you best wishes from across the other side of the planet…South Western Australia
Thanks a lot, mate 🙏😎🎸
Horrible stuff, I hope you will rise again soon!
I'll be back - for sure 😎🎸
man who dont have isolated power supply today ?
I don't know - I'm only using isolated power supplies for a very long time. The thing is that I don't want to waste one outlet for a tuner...
Ohh man sad to hear that, but glad you and your family are fine, all material stuff can be replaced.
So true - thanks a lot 🙏 😎🎸
