It boost the bottom and the mids and the rounds out the highs in a good way while also sounding clearer n less plinky.. the difference is pretty audible
Yes my strat springs were set up like a triangle which made it sound bright and high. So i set them all straight across which caused deeper low sound and less string tension. then I added 2 more thinner springs with lower tension I got at the hardware store which gave my non floating trem a more firm feel while improving the same unaltered sound.
Speaking for myself and those good players I know, we're not after a guitar upon which notes ring longer than a second or two, that's not how we play. Try it and measure how long you really hold notes in normal playing. What we call "good sustain" is really a slow rate of decay. What we want is the minimum rate of decay for as long as we are holding a note, usually a second or so, sometimes but rarely a bit longer. A slow rate of decay makes the struck note sound strong throughout and not fade away (to coin a phrase). The natural amp compression that is created when we push an amp a bit gives us the slow decay we like, although by then the amp is getting pretty loud. We can't always (hardly ever) play our amps a such a volume for very long before it begins to harm us and annoy everyone else, but we can also create slow decay by adding compression with a compressor (duh). This is commonly done in recording studios to thicken and to fill out the sound of various instruments including drums. That is often, amongst other things, why recordings sound so different (better) than live performances. Just saying.
Honestly, I can barely hear the difference, let alone playing together with the whole band live. The audience wont even realize (and care) if you use one or not. But that's just me, subjectively.
Also, UA-cam compresses the hell out of the sound. But even then your argument still holds. It always sounds different when listening to something live anyways, so nobody will realise it.
Yes you nailed it , Put two springs on and tighten the claw way down and compare to 3 with the claw not as tight . ( The extra Tension on the strings makes a big difference , it's all about the tension )
Nice playing, but a LOT of fret buzzz.. You would sound even better without that buzz. Check out a guy called Chris Buck. Thanks anyway..👍👏🏼👏🏼 I’m only referring to your Strat.
I preferred the originals. Sounded slightly more Stratty on the top-end-chime = Very minor. Which ones " Feel Smoother " when you use the bar? Nice demo. Stay Safe. oNe LovE from NYC
Deym!!! It definitely has more body and clarity. But less tightness. I'm not sure if it does affect sustain. Sir Perf. What's your opinion on spring sounds this makes? Is it lesser than your FE-2? @PerfdeCastro
To my partocaster its almost impossible to set at least a minimal floting action with 3 springs, just on 2. Screws are almost on 90% outside. Do i need more "softer" springs? Strings are 10s.
I hear no difference they're just the same but you sure can pay too much for branded springs. So many things to think about guitar but springs should not be one of them. Great video idol Perf.
Sir perf. Napansin ko lang. Blocked tremolo system po pala ang set up nyo. Ano po ba pinaka best sa tatlo. Deck, blocked, or floating tremolo? Requst sir perf gawa po kayo video ng comparison ng tatlo 😍

Springs affecting tone? Sounds like snake oil to me. Looks like the tiny little almost unnoticeable (real) diffence is due to string tension or the way you feel/play the guitar, if the pressure is different it should indeed affect the way you play but not the tone. I did not have time to do it but maybe comparing sound samples in a spectrum analyser would give us a better idea. But, still, I don't think it affects tone. Nice video anyways! Keep it up!
Thanks for watching! There are spectrum analysis graphs on their website. The gains of stuff like these springs/brass tremolo blocks/heavy saddles are really only apparent to the player, but it’s fun to see if anybody else notices it, too.
Sir perf! Will this also prevent my guitar from getting out of tune? Because everytime i used a whamy bar and everytime i bend my strings it get out of tune.
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro thanks for the reply sir! I dont know what are the other cause. this is my firstime to have electric guitar and i dont want to screw it up. 😅 maybe i will bring it to a guitar shops once they are open. Thanks for approving me in grupo perfecto! 👍🏽
@@alvinjoydayrit7757 oh and you can't hurt a guitar by learning how to setup one. My advice. If the screwdriver wobbles at all in the screw. Find the right size screwdriver. Also please don't over tighten anything, I hate buying used guitars with plastic broken because people tightened pick guard screws way to tight
So much plastic packaging for a couple of springs... Like, why can't they be bought individually without packaging?.. Needless to say, I'm not going to spend money on a product like this..
😂 not Worth the time to change it it’s not that big of a difference. I wouldn’t spend money on it. sometimes we as musicians get in our own way looking for perfection. People to come to here entire band playDon’t give a damn about that shit right there
sounds like your action is really low, the strings are buzzing and choked sounding.
Ha! I was just surching for a comment lyk this. 😆well Seen!

the thing they are doing with the clarity is amazing.

i did the same thing as and wow what a smooth sound i would def recommend straight springs and 2 smaller on the mid

Huge Difference
Thankyou for the video,
And I was hunting pickups tuners nuts etc to help tone oh it’s from the springs

Did you notice the amp was turned up louder with the ARM springs too?
hmm
I think I'm agree with you that the audience won't even realize but in order to shape the tone, it affects a lot (warmer or brighter)
Ohhh...Finally, I saw you're using Fender Strat now! Awesome! Thanks for that Vid!
I would describe the change as isolating the note or adding stability
The tone might've affected when you tighten the spring claws.
Yes you nailed it , Put two springs on and tighten the claw way down and compare to 3 with the claw not as tight . ( The extra Tension on the strings makes a big difference , it's all about the tension )
Is it a good thing or bad thing
Thanks papi for the review! Am here because Guitar Pusher just started selling these springs. Hahah!
I noticed more of a difference on the Sully (obviously) than on the Strat.
But like I said, that's for obvious reasons.
The notes pop more sa ARM and has better tonality and clarity. Except lang sa Floydie, I can't bearly hear the difference when distorted.
I hear a treble boost and dynamics with the ARM springs.
Nice playing, but a LOT of fret buzzz.. You would sound even better without that buzz. Check out a guy called Chris Buck. Thanks anyway..👍👏🏼👏🏼 I’m only referring to your Strat.
You can use your amp settings to change the sound. It is more body with new one, nice 7ender btw. 👍
That Sully is stunning. Make it fucking sparkle!
Mas pronounced po yung mga riffs sa Arm😀❤❤❤ ang galing Sir Perf
I preferred the originals. Sounded slightly more Stratty on the top-end-chime = Very minor. Which ones " Feel Smoother " when you use the bar? Nice demo. Stay Safe. oNe LovE from NYC
wow thanks for this episode Sir perf :)
and the strat was still cool :) even it was old and the tone clear than the stock :)
Deym!!! It definitely has more body and clarity. But less tightness. I'm not sure if it does affect sustain. Sir Perf. What's your opinion on spring sounds this makes? Is it lesser than your FE-2? @PerfdeCastro
So side note; is that pale moon ebony on your Sully Fretboard? God that's beautiful. That's always been my favorite Fretboard.
Yep, Pale Moon Ebony FTW
To my partocaster its almost impossible to set at least a minimal floting action with 3 springs, just on 2. Screws are almost on 90% outside. Do i need more "softer" springs? Strings are 10s.
Softer springs or stick with 2 springs
Is that the spring efect to keep stay in tune whammy bar and bend the string?
I hear no difference they're just the same but you sure can pay too much for branded springs. So many things to think about guitar but springs should not be one of them. Great video idol Perf.
I see you set it up ala-Carl Verheyen. Cool
I did the Carl Verheyen method, on my Vintage Strat & my Suhr - and it works. Even tension makes sense for Tuning Stability.
Sir perf. Napansin ko lang. Blocked tremolo system po pala ang set up nyo. Ano po ba pinaka best sa tatlo. Deck, blocked, or floating tremolo? Requst sir perf gawa po kayo video ng comparison ng tatlo 😍
Floating trem ko
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro ay mali pala ko haha. Request naman idol perf kung paano po kayo mag set up ng floating trem nyo 😍

pwd yan sir sa fernando strat? thanks
I have American Special Strat. Can I use 4 spring tension? What spring brand? Or Fender spring?
Depends on your string gauge
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro oh, I use 09-42.
Yung sakin, 4 springs replaced 3 stock springs, no retuning needed.
Sir Perf! What is the name of your wireless?
In this video, Xvive u2
kuya perf i have a problem ung springs po sa likod ng gitara ko di ko po makabit dahil sobrang tigas
I'd love to hear a side by side comparison between these and the Raw Vintage springs.
Gabriel Pennington I gotta check those out
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro I've seen them advertised for less than I can find the ThermoDynamics springs. They're the only other springs I've seen claiming to enhance tone.
its myth, if you change instead 3 to 3. same tone. add another ones
i was replacing my springs and my cord connecting to the claw broke
@Hayden Moore i dont have a solder just layin around bro

Theres a sudden boost of the tone in terms of clarity sir perf
Sir Perf, hindi kaya sa tension lang yan? Ima bet kung merong cheap springs ka diyan with comparable tension they will probably sound the same.
Neth BT iba ang feel ng material nya compared to regular strings so baka ang damping factor ang difference. Just a guess, tho
Abi nakog wala kay strat kol naa mn diay
You took the springs out without loosening the strings ?
Can be done. As long as one at a time.
Sir perf! Will this also prevent my guitar from getting out of tune? Because everytime i used a whamy bar and everytime i bend my strings it get out of tune.
Without knowing details, there's a lot of things to cause that but springs are the least of them

@@alvinjoydayrit7757 strings are catching on the nut, saddle trees or your springs or loose most likely.

Parang lumakas tsaka klarong2 yung tunog sa arm sir perf haha
Kol unsa napoy give away nimo pag mu abot ug 50k subscribe ?
Couldn't tell a damn difference
idol saan makabili nyan?
