    Ich applaudiere mal nachträglich, Thomas. Wow, was für ein Opener....richtig geiler Song. Mit Dir geht es mir genau wie mit Lukather: ich liebe Deine Soli total, aber fast noch mehr haut mich um wenn Du die rhythmischen Sachen machst...Wahnsinn. Vor allem mag ich Deinen ganzen musikalischen Ausdruck, das finde ich absolut klasse. Also kann ich meine Gitarren doch in den Ofen schieben... Herzlichen Gruß. Michael

    Hi Thomas, i just wondered on mayby a future episode mayby you might like to perform, 'Longing' from Electric Gallery? I've not seen it on any of your dvd's and it's such an awesome instrumental. I have a copy of your 'Guitar masterclass' Book and it includes a backing track for Longing :-) Hope you have a great week :-)

    Hi Thomas and viewers! Great video. :-) I have a question about the power amp saturation. On my two Katanas there is a simulated power amp saturation that happens at any volume simply by putting the master volume between 5 and 10. Would it be possible with the Amp1 Mercury to achieve the same thing on the dirt channels by reducing the preamp volume and putting the master volume up? Or is the preamp volume at higher settings necessary to achieve the same power amp saturation in that scenario? I heard you explaining that the nano tubes need to "cook" for the power amp saturation to happen, but does it happen simply by turning the global master up without the preamp master up as well? I'd be great if you could clarify this. It makes sense to do this for me since I wouldn't use the clean channel anyway. In my opinion I'd have to have the master high up to achieve the sound I like with a fatter tone. Also, the price is a bit steep with the extra pedalboard for me. Thanks. :-)

    • @BluGuitar
      @BluGuitar  3 роки тому +1

      You can get the poweramp saturated at higher settings - just like old school tubeamps. But you want that at more friendly volume. Therefore we have our built in powersoak. That needs to be adjusted to your wattage/ level. This can be done with the remote1 or a midi controller and MIDI 1. Both ways it’s an extra unit. If you just want that a little midi controller would be my recommendation for size and price. But the master volume is kind of a drive in that setup the needs to be taimed in combination with the powersoak. Maybe a bit more complicated than the Kantana - but I assume a bit more authentic tones ….;-)

    Great Episode as usual! A question regarding low gain mode (without using midi or foot control), will that always effect all channels? Or can you have, lets say, "normal gain" on e.g Vintage channel, and "low gain" for Classic channel?

    Hi Thomas, why the vintage doesn´t have custom adjustment?

    • @BluGuitar
      @BluGuitar  4 роки тому +1

      Vintage delivers sounds from clean to overdrive. These should be matched to your speaker with the 3 band tone controls. The extra custom controls can be used to match all other channels to the vintage channel then.
      This is the way I designed the concept. Cheers, Thomas

    Oh my God! Thomas!! First of all, I seriously and honestly think that you are the best guitar player among all the other amps, pedals and other guitar tone related product designers/developers/creators. Well I know, it's a subjective thing but. What I'm saying is that it feels really good to have the man who designs the pedal/amp and demos it with great playing, which I rarely came across. And this Amp1 of yours, really sounds great. I wish one day I could get one myself as for now we don't have it here in our region or part of the world. I'm from Sabah, the North of Borneo. Rock n roll 🤘🏿🤘🏿
