The other John Browne
Germany
Приєднався 12 гру 2006
You're in the right place, fellow guitar gear nerd!
Hi, my name is John Browne . No, not that guy but this is my real name.
I'm a test engineer by trade and a passionate guitar gear nerd.
My mission statement: I want to make the videos I would liked to have seen when I was looking for gear. I have found that most amps, pedals, speakers or guitars sound pretty good in a given youtube demo but once you have it in your home with your other gear you might hear things you didn't hear before. Why? Because the demo(s) you heard lacked a reference for you to listen to. That's why (in most cases) I try to provide a reference for you to compare whatever I am demoing to.
I've got a bunch of experiments I want to do. You'll find them here sooner or later!

Is SPEAKER BREAK IN real? Testing four new speakers
Honestly it's not my type, it's a little over the top for me. When you first showed the pedal I immediately thought of the Ibanez pentatone pedal for some reason, which I have and actually really like. If I was going for something like this I would go for the Northern Mauler from Revv. I have an original Boss HM2 Japan version I use every so often, but use several other drive pedals and stack a few . Great video as always, Cheers!
love the mid curve of the swamp thang !
bought the fane lcfr150 and i love it ; thanks a lot !!
would you like to try the old version of eminence red coat red fang ?
My new go to IR is a mix of your LCFR and V30 IRs (with slight phase correction) - I love it! Btw did some more IR experimental mixes off your free IR stuff and did get some really great results. LCFR with Redback does sound cool too. Thanks again.
I'd love an F70G IR pack
Fantastic!
Cheers!

John, what an amazing review of the CSX! Truly one of the best videos about my switchers, you did an outstanding job, thank you so much for your hard work. I love how you explained the CSX, menu, midi and everything, and especially the linking! It was a lot of fun to watch you linking the switchers for the first time, great success! Some very nice cabs that you have, they all sound great but the mesa v30 is my favorite (as expected ^^). Thank you very much again, you will hear from me shortly. I hope you have fun with the CSX, you can keep the unit :) All the best, Markus
Thank you very much, Markus! I really appreciate that as well as you attention to detail. Brilliant engineering on your part!
I like the Swamp Thing, has a nice warm balanced sound. The V30s always had that (Bee hive) sound too me , never been crazy about it. I have the DV-77 speaker in my Marshall JCM800 4010 combo and absolutely love it. Both of those Eminence speakers seem to have more clarity and a solid thick tone, to me the V30s have always sounded a little thin, maybe it's the 5-6K frequency I'm hearing. Great content you always put out!
Trying to make my own IR, I failed, there was this horrible ground... A test take was saved by Ctrl + z, the speaker was a Celestion Rocket 50! It sounded nice with a Rockville RCM03 mic. You should try that combination man, is an interesting speaker cuz is low budget, less popular and seems it got a bad reputation or something, yet it doesn't sound bad in my opinion, I do prefer it over a V30 (I don't remember which year, I saw your video months ago lol) and for a bright amp like the EVH it may balance things out. In my case, the position of the mic was Cap edge. No fizz. I did try some of the free IR you shared man, I did enjoy the sweet spot on this one. Is kinda cool I didn't need to cut like crazy, just a HP & LP. I believe the Tornado with the EVH could sound interesting with a R121 or a darker mic. Swamp Thang + 57 is a nice combination. Better to experiment it that believing what other says. ...So, Rocket 50 test next 😂 Btw I did a video with the results. Carvin X-100B + Boss Gt-10 + Revv G3/G4 + Swamp Thang sweet spot IR 👍 Great job on the IR 🤘
Thanks man! I'll jeep an eye out for a Rocket 50. Never heard of the Rockville mic though
@@TheOtherJohnBrowne Me neither until I buyed my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 🤣🤣🤣, it was in a combo pack. Is quite good actually, maybe a little heavy on 400 to 600hz area. It even comes with a little pop filter! I remove it for recording the guitar cap of course.
i think the importance of this video has yet to reveal itself in 10 years mfs are gonna be running back to this video to study modern metal basics you nolly glenn and other speaker advocates (i guess thats what im gonna call you guys i dunno) are really making a change yet to be noitices
@@minecraftyeled7889 Thank you! I appreciate the comment
@@TheOtherJohnBrownei appriciate the level of realness presented on this channel! I think im not alone on this Thanks for everything so far.
Great comparison video! And the IRs are fantastic - holy shit! Simple setup with one SM57, but sounding perfect. Thank you so much for sharing them!!
@@luxintenebris6614 my pleasure
Blend of both sounds lovely! Quite balanced to my ears 😊
F25 isn't bad but for high gain tones there isn't enough complexity and impact on the low end. Kind of a lack of "thumpiness" I think. On it's own at least.
I didn’t know lex Luthor was into guitar pedals
say that thang other john browne.
I’ve never heard an eminence speaker under any amount of gain that didn’t sound like someone plugged into a bass cab and said “no one will notice”. They are just so stiff. Regardless of eq response, the texture never does it for me.
Well, they do seem to have a signature sound. That's for sure
I've got a ST paired with a Fane F70 in my Orange PPC 2X12. Incredible sounding pairing FWIW.
That pairing sounds ideal
K100s rip !!! Can't wait to see your next videos on it
Yeah. I need to get to it
ive heard many better pedals then this one
Id like to hear the swamp thang vs the lcfr 150 since they are so close in specs.
Love the Swamp Thang here !
Note to self: do not eat or drink when starting the video. Should have learnt that by now. Speaker sounded great - one more in the "tempting" category. Cheers!
LOL. Sorry 😂
Even if the setup would distort the sound(comparison) - it was fun and interesting to hear a few different possibilities! Save capitalism, save the world! (Ok, that line was more fun 18 years ago... 18 bloody years, really?) Cheers!
Cheers! Yeah! It was an interesting little test to me too
How does this speaker compare to the Omega Ampworks VM12-65? Any chance there are some comparisons possible? Cheers
I'm afraid I have never tried a VM12-65. They are hard to get here in Europe
@@TheOtherJohnBrowne Looking forward to you getting your hands on one in the future hopefully. Thanks for your kind reply!
Interesting! I visualized the frequency graph before seeing it. That's how influenced I am by your videos, by now.😂 I don't see this speaker as a metal speaker in particular. To me the crunch settings with the Strat sounded more pleasing. Also, it is the speaker i like least to be paired with the V30, so far. But, other might have a different opinion.🤗
hi , thank you 🤘🤘🤘
The moment John does his Speaker thang, I do the thumbs up thang
Let me do my appreciation thang right now
Very cool, gonna try it out for sure thank you!
Hairless man pulls flawless hair metal tone
The damage I could do with hair...
Great content, but at 19:10 your picture-in-picture is kind of covering part of the frequency graph, amusingly the only part of the graph where I'm hearing the most differences so I was really trying to see it. Ofc there's later graphs together with audio at the very end of the video which kind of makes up for it but editing for you may want to look out for that kinda thing in the future
Thanks for letting me know
Great recorded tone from this. It has plenty of treble and the 5-6k roll-off is nice. Hope to see the strat in more videos too. I am primarily a high gain guy but recently picked up a strat because I can't get over how much I love the neck pickup sound. It definitely has me playing different things and stepping out of the usual death and thrash
Same! I didn't think I'd be a Strat guy but as soon as I picked this one up, I could feel it had magic in it
Those two together SING!
Especially with a little gain.
I swapped the V30s in one of my Mesa Standard 412s and installed a combination of Swamp Thangs and DV77s in an X-pattern wired in 16-ohm mono and that is one of my favorite cabs. However, it sounds best to me when paired with my Herbert. Great video and demo either way man 🤘🏼
Sounds like a great combo!
Nice guy
Great IR, as always, thank you very much!
My pleasure!
Too expensive to be of any use
I'm drinking a cold one for Justin!!! 🍺🤘
