hi! i dont own it anymore .. but yes , it is absolutely loud enough !!! :) 🙂

@@donmunson4802 i hear ya ! .. what my conclusion is : single coils are single coils. I do notice a difference if they are wound hotter vs less hot , but in the end they sound like Single coils. The wood of the guitar / what bridge does make a bit of difference tho. But the same guitar with different pickups still always sounds like the same guitar. Different guitars have a bit different tonality. But no one in the audience would here that. Different Speaker cabs have way more impact on the tone I find 🙂. Alex.

awesome ! theres actually a full length video on my channel.. hopefully comes out sometime 😅 .. been a long time already...

HEy !! Danke !!!! 🙂 LG ALEX

which pickups are your referring to ? thanks. alex.

A los hot noiseles ...

Hi Mirza ! Thanks !!!!! those were Seymour Duncan Antiquity Surfer II's . but really , any Alnico5 60s Style pickups would do that are a little bit hotter (6.2-6.3k Neck, 6,6-6,8k Bridge). i wouldnt spend that much money on Antiquitys again.. 🙂 glad you like it ! Thanks , Alex !

Thank you for your answer, Alex! 🤘🏻

@@MirzaCanal2 you are very welcome !! 🙂

Hi ! Thanks ! appreciate it ! me personally i prefer the IR- D to be honest... but im glad if it maybe helped to inform your decision what to do 🙂 . Alex

Thanks!! I used the greenbacks one. Didn’t like the others too much 🙂

thank you !!! hmmm.. hard to say since i sold the guitar already.. but volume drop when played clean should be normal since its cancelling out certain frequencies which would result in a perceived volume drop.. is it a little bit of noise when you touch em or a lot ?

Quite a bit noise when you touch the pickups. Thank you for responding

@@chief6749Hard to tell. Don’t think it should be like that. Ground problem maybe?

Thanks! Celestion 412 Greenbacks IR

both work fine. but the FM9 is too big for me.. i dont use digital stuff before gain. (too noisy) . in the fx loop is fine. i use(d) a digitech polara verb and boss dd500 delay in the loop with the runt. and a timmy as pre boost before the amp.

not in this demo . but when i played live..

Hey Dank Dir !!! Freut mich ! 🙂🙏

Hey Danke Dir !!! lg Alex🙂

thanks for the comment Mike ! Cheers Alex 🙂

Hey thanks Lewis!!! 🙂

hey thanks!! yea i didnt go for the exact page tone , since im oviously not him..😅.. and it doesnt totally fit my preference for tone .. 🙂 . glad you like it !

awesome !!! yea theyre good ! 🙃

thank you ! ! i was using a Celesion 412 Greenback IR ! 🙂

Hey Dan, awesome !!! 🙃

thanks a bunch ! glad you like it ! 🙂🙃

Hey Danke Dir ! freut mich wenns gefällt ! :) beste Grüße. Alex 🙂

it is pretty bright. however if you roll back the tone knob a bit, with Single Coils in general (Tele also) both strat and Tele work fine. 🙂

what others have you tried?

thanks for the comment. its a great pedal ! hope the video helped ! :)

thanks a bunch !! :) Alex 😃

thanks a lot ! it belongs to a friend though. its not mine.. its great but im not a fan of combo amps (too heavy) , prefer head + cab, and 12" instead of 10" speakers 🙂

What was the fucking point of your preach? Do you need some attention?

thank you !!!!!!!! greetings , Alex (guitarist)

Thanks !! (Its actually for sale ! ) :)

wow . what an honour ! hope you like it !!!! its a Seymour Duncan SH1 59 Bridge Model 🙂

fender hot rod deluxe 3 into Suhr Reactive Load with a 412 IR w Greenbacks

@@AlexZilinskiGuitar Thanks, man!

thanks very much ! it is slightly modded for less compression. the tone is pretty much the same though. just the feel is a bit different.. 🙂

i did play it into a suhr reactive load otherwise it would have been super loud in that room ! youre right ! haha😅

@@AlexZilinskiGuitar 🔥🔥🔥

hey thanks!!

😅 . Thanks Ian. Appreciate it!!

Buy an BLADE, read my wrotings!

After more than 2 years of abstinence, I went to the Music Station again and played 3 Fender American Professional II Strats, and again I noticed that the woods had little vibrancy, the maple necks were not very dense and responsive, there was little twang, little crunch , wiry-glassy, few overtones, sustain, attack, everything you associate with Fender guitars, everything is less than on my ESP 400 Series Strats and less than on my BLADE Texas models. This can be tested objectively and I can only say that I am extremely disappointed with this price-performance ratio. No, I can no longer objectively understand this adulation regarding Fender Strats. My first Stratocaster was a Fender American Standard Stratocaster and that was my worst guitar of all, a Fender Mexico Standard followed after that, but after I played the ESPs and the BLADEs everything was clear to me, and that proves itself again, every time, when I compare, the same result always comes out - what else can I say, it is true! The ESP-400-Series Strats and the BLADEs have objectively, noticeably and audibly better tonewood, the BLADEs even have a flattened neck-body-joint and covered fret slots and therefore much better playability!!! So, I'm done with Fender, I'm playing something clever, and at a much cheaper price. I don't want to talk anyone out of their love of Fender, I have nothing against you buying the (usually) worse guitars for a far too exorbitant price, you're welcome to do that. Then there will be more BLADEs for me, very simple! Thanks for listening!

indeed !!! and super loud.... haha ! 😅

HI! danke fürs Kommentar! es könnte . ;) sofern man ne Endstufe und ne box dranhängt. fürs Recording gehts auch ohne. hier noch mein Kommentar dass ich grad jemand geschrieben hatte: "wirkt wertig verarbeitet. auch die Anbindung an die Software funktioniert ohne Probleme was ja oft nicht der Fall is. Plug & Play also ! Der Sound ist typisch Friedman . moderner fetter Rock Sound. mir waren es etwas zu wenig Reserven in den Höhen und zu viele Tiefmitten. Für härtere Musikrichtungen sicher gewünscht. Aber für Classic Rock / Vintage Sounds nicht ganz mein Geschmack. vor allem durch die Resonance/Depth Schaltung die auch die "echten" Friedman Amps (und viele andere HighGain Amps) haben klingt das ein wenig unnatürlich für Classic Rock / Blues / Funk. Es is einfach zu viel im Tiefmitten / Bassbereich. das schwingt meiner Meinung nach etwas mit was da "nicht hingehört" bzw ich da nicht hören möchte.. Trotz allem ein sehr nützliches Tool für Recording & Live , obwohl ich für live definitiv zu ner zusätzlichen Endstufe + Box rate um auch etwas Luft zu bewegen."

thanks for the comment Vic ! are you using it with humbuckers or SCs? greetings from Austria ! Alex 🙂

@@AlexZilinskiGuitarHi Alex ! I’m using Squire Strat with a Suhr Thornbucker the first one with low gain output. My pedal board has the IRX into The HX Stomp with a GE 6 , Boss SD1 , JHS Angry Charlie and a Korg Pitchblack tuner All you need to rock 👍

@@vicguitar1 cool. sounds pretty versatile ! 🙂

muss auch nicht beantwortet werden, haha. 😅 . Danke Dir !!

thats awesome ! hope you like it and have fun with it !! Alex 🙂

Thank you @@AlexZilinskiGuitar

glad it helped! thanks for the comment ! andy timmons does that - the bridge cruiser is already quite bright - a neck version would be even brighter and i think would be too bright ! 🙂 Alex-

​@@AlexZilinskiGuitar I have cruisers set in my MIM Strat and no, neck version is not too bright for sure, I am even thinking about changing pots from 250k to 500k. Real single coils in my MIJ start sound significantly brighter. Here in your video it is also clear that cruiser was least bright of all of the options. Andy Tommons on more recent albums prefers darker fatter tones, that is true. His guitar tone is significantly less bright than that of e.g. Satriani or Vai. So if you experiment further, I suggest you to try neck version of cruiser in the neck. I also had Dimarzio CHopper for some time in the bridge of a strat. Interesting pickup, sounds like a single coil with Tube Screamer in a clean booster mode. But the problem is that you cannot switch off that Tube Screamer thing in it if you want just a SC tone. SO I went with all Cruisers in that strat and I am happy.

@@SergeiVlassov well what is bright and what is dark is all subjective .. but its awesome that you find pu's that you dig !! :) im staying with real singles + ilitch noise cancelling backplate for now..

@@AlexZilinskiGuitar I was looking at that plate as well, but I am not sure will it be effective against buzzing? I don't have problems with hum, little hum does not bother me, but where I live I have buzzing on higher frequencies. This buzzing is eliminated if I use noiseless pickups or 2nd and 4th positions on a strat with single coils. Can you please comment on efficiency of that backplate against buzzing if you have experienced that?

@@SergeiVlassov shielding the pu and control cavity helped me with high frequency buzz. noiseless pu's like lets say Dimarzio Area pickups or Fender Noiseless are a little more effective in the high frequencies . but it was enough for me. i was more concerned with getting rid of the low hum ..

interesting! thanks for the comment ! 🙂
