I blame the Golden Age of Guitar Tone for my continuing decline of alternate picking ability.
When I plug in, I spend way too much time hitting glorious open chords and chunky lower string 8th notes.
Before I know it, it’s time to get back to the family or work or something else and “practice” session is over.
But it sounds so good.
Peter van Weelden built me a Gainland a few years ago. Mine is black and not brushed metal like the one you have in the video. It is absolutely fantastic and will always remain a part of my rig.
Thanks for the great videos Michael - your playing is fantastic and your original songs are great. Please keep it up.
Never heard of it, but of course I'm blown away. Sounds fantastic!
Blown away how good it sounds and how much gain it has!
I have a jmp 1987 he modded for Adrian Vandenberg back in the day.
Loved the sound and video!! Thanks!
As soon as I heard the first few chunks with the gain at 2 I knew you’d make it sound amazing.
I have one of their Dumble style pedals and with the right amp it sounds so damn good. The rich, chewy, harmonically mids are so textural and touch sensitive. I’d love to get one of these should the make them again.
OMG a Van Weelden. Everything Peter touches sound great, it's a pity it is so rare and SOO expensive ... I tried a plexi he modded once and it was in the top 3 of the best amplifiers I tried ever
Hi,
Peter sent me his price list back in November of 2022, and the "Gainland - 19" Hi-gain preamp” was listed as being € 1425,61 excluding VAT tax, which is about $1,544.54 USD. It wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be, especially if you already have an amp you can use for the power section.
However, there could possibly be a long wait to get it, and shipping could be on the expensive side. I’m not sure about those things.
Anyways, just thought I would chime in about what the actual prices were like. Great amps.
Regards,
Leo
Sounds good, right out of the box all knobs in the middle. I'm also surprised how finely the tone stack is tuned, like you were fiddling with the bass, mid and treble all over the place and none of it was ridiculous sounding. All of it was very usable. That to me speaks of fine craftsmanship.
As usual, "you can't get one anywhere. Michael Toren has one."
Any plans to make kemper profiles of this? Sounds awesome Michael!
Love mine. Older black version 🤘
This is best thing I've ever heard and I'm not even kidding. WOW! All that sponge-y, articulate, chewy gain 🤘🏼😚
Kind of reminds me of my seymour Duncan 6 Preamp tube Preamp! man it was nice,
Awesome tone
@5:44 Ahhhhh, the scrunch face setting. nice.
LOVE IT! It's got SLICE!
That's a EUROPEAN sounding Marshall hot-rod! :D Van Welden made a big and expensive Distortion preamp pedal some years ago, that Adrian Vandenberg used a lot :)
Sounds really great!!!
Hi Michael, I have the Kemper profiles of this beast. They sound absolute killer with a marshall 4x12. Thank's for this rewiev, that reminds me of them. I just loaded theme up and can't stop playin. They sound very similar to the sounds that you present here. killer solosound with a bit delay on it. Have a nice x-mas mate!!!
As a fellow kemper player, where did you get your profiles of this?
Sounds great. Like a tighter JCM800 2203/2204 type amp.
This channel always blows me away
@2:52 HEY MA!! MICHAEL HIT A BAD NOTE !! btw, this thing soundS amazing !
1:50 good to know. JEL 100 is def a bucket list amp.
esto es una locura como suena¡¡ sonido excelente¡ definicion¡ y un golpe increible¡,no sabia de el, gracias¡¡
sounds amazing!
Dang, sounds rad as hell
I have one of these!
Sounds very Naylor-ish. I like it.
That's EXACTLY what I thought! Big harmonically right rock distortion... but kinds smooth too.
@@BigHairyGuitarsAlso, please consider releasing some of your other demo songs on Spotify like you did with Acceptance, or make an entire album. I keep going through your UA-cam videos just to listen to the demo songs. Your guitar playing and composition skills are on another level.
Intense for sure
I don’t think there’s ever been a more appropriate name for a piece of guitar gear. It truly is a “Gainland”.
Absolutely fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤😊
price is ridiculous, its sold for about 1600€ at reverb at this moment 😂✌
Sounds good, but really reminded me of SansAmp PSA-1, both sounds and looks.
Any chances you're gonna put some profiles of it?
There ya go, King's X. The unit sounds great! I think I liked it through the Little Sister best, but it rips, regardless.
FYI the pronounciation is "Van Whale-dun"
Sounds sick!
W the lil sister it just rounded out perfectly. Kaboom
Great!! THIKK as hell
mix Soldano vs Peavey 5150 ii in first gainstage i think...cool
thats a heavy sound but also a heavy price tag, barely any dealers here in europe, the website looks proprietary, i don`t know but i think i skip on this one... and get a victory preamp or amp head instead since i did a lot of research what to buy and christmas is coming so I would like to treat myself to something exciting new gear to withstand the boring holidays. peace 🙏🙏
Wasn't Van Weelden the guy that butchered EVH's main Marshall, and Friedman had to rebuild it?
Van Weelden has been the one to give that Marshall its "brown" sound. Everything else about a variac, is utter nonsense.
Where can you even find one of these? I been searching lol
Seemed to have just one distorted tone irrespective of the control settings.....
I think it changes slightly but the eq is definitely not very active.
How come the presence is in the preamp?
Can you please try a Rocktron Piranha?
next synergy module?
If you're interested in that preamp I could ask Peter. His shop is about 30 minute from where I live.
He used to be a great EvH player himself.
How can I message you, Narvul?
@@mikescotch8894 I have one
Peter maakt ze nu niet meer . Geen onderdelen 😢
@@renebaltes Dat past natuurlijk wel erg goed bij het idee dat je hele speciale onderdelen nodig hebt. 😉
@@narvul ik heb nog een nieuwe te koop evt .
Not so rare in Europe I guess…I got two of those….
I'd call it a Van Helsing, just cause it sounds monsterous..
Would you say this is in Marshall territory?
Any chance you will make a Kemper profile pack of this unit?
Please??? :)
You know... I tried. The Kemper couldn't accurately reproduce the harmonic richness and sonic spectrum of the Gainland. It sort of kept doing a Boss MetalZone approximation of the glorious Van Weelden tone.
Thank you sir!@@BigHairyGuitars
How do you think it compares to the Morin
The Morin is tigher, and more focused, but the Van Weelden is more harmonically rich. Really couldn't go wrong with either for the dirty stuff
That thing is rarer than hens teeth!
Your lil buddy has wayy too much in the vault bro....killer clip. My Langner kills through my vht classic. You ran it through the 2150, correct?
Yes, I believe so. I have to revisit the Langner. My buddy has a second one now.
My Classic is blown. Again. This time, I guess a leaky capacitor and it almost caught on fire. Looks like some damage to the PCB. I’m going to send it back to Mr Freyette. Again.
@@BigHairyGuitars yes, and the second one has all the bells & whistles. So versatile, one of the best preamps ever made.
I have both the classic/in purple, yeah I said it lol The Langner paired with the Classic is the G.O.A.T. Mike.
sounds good but real noisy !
I want this schematic. Send it to me and I'll trace the board.
Killer tone @ 7:12 what song is that?🔥
That's Lay It Down from Ratt in the 80's
@@BigHairyGuitars thanks brother 🤘🏼
wow is this a vacuum preamp?
Yes, vacuum tubes
How much of an impact do you think the power section makes when using a preamp? Is it a noticeable difference between things like the Freidman, a Boogie or the Revv D20? Thinking in extremes for the examples.
Huge difference. as an example, I have an SP77 Soldano preamp I've used with about 8 different rack power amps. best it sounded in every case was with bigger OTs - peavey 60/60, Soldano SL105 slave, and into the loop of my modded Bassman (massive OTs rated for more than 200W, even though it's a 30-40W amp with 2x 6L6s).
the fundamental character of the pre doesn't change, but how the power amp handles, well, power? will affect the transients and how 'tightly' the bass holds together.
Choose your power amp and cab/speakers combo for how 'spongy' you want the overall tone to get. if you like 'tight' the more gain you use, the bigger iron you need in the power stage, imo. YMMV.
sorry for the essay.
kind of one trick pony but good sound
I don't know if this is really that rare, Peter is still alive and in business, so maybe if you contact him he can build you one. He's also working on a follow up on the Royal Overdrive pedal.
I suppose so. It's just that they don't show up too often in the wild.
These are insanely rare and very expensive when you see one.
Very 90's but chewy, Drop c would be intense. Earplugs ever?? The Eargasm types are not bad but still suck the clarity out . The 10KHZ is getting pretty bad for me.
🤘😎🤘
Well, let's hope I accidentally step into one of these. Sounds Awesome!!!!! Just don't use Rack Gear anymore at this time or for see able future. Sometimes I think maybe, but then I realize what it would take to make that a reality. Nope, just not going to happen. SMFH 😂😂😂
Sounds like red channel jvm
Found one here in Germany for 1700€😮
Buy it asap ! 😮
Pop it in the 2150
Someone should clone this thing.
I believe all of the insides were FULLY gooped.
@@BigHairyGuitarsI have one of his Royal Overdrive pedals, and he actually used epoxy to glue the thing shut. I usually open up all of my pedals, just out of curiosity to see the inside. You can’t open it up at all to see the insides. Well, I could get it open if I had to, but not much of a point in it.
The problem with gooped boards is repair. It would make it a nightmare to repair.
