Man, I wish I was in the UK. I'd come buy literally everything from this lad. I can't even tell you how many of these videos I watch/listen to throughout my workday.
Same brother
The stores are actually so good, you can spend hours there and not even buy anything 😅
So true , love waching his videos . He should tour the world to make his videos at local shops 😂
Tip: get good cables!!!
Exactly, everyone says get cheap cables however the difference between my 8 euro 1/4 inch jack unbranded cable and my mojami cable is insane
Never tired of listening! Excellent presentation hope you get a good paycheque. Epic!!!
Guitar cable has one small gauge lead for the hot, and a ground shield, it’s for tiny signals, from your guitar PU’s. Speaker wire is 2 equal gauges of wire....big difference!
On the subject of volume pedals, the best thing I bought for my Marshall DSL1 head & 1x12 was the JHS Little Black Amp Box. I was pretty disappointed with this amp at bedroom levels because the bass kept farting out and the 0.1 W setting didn’t sound good and was still very loud for a condo. That JHS LBAB totally changed it all! Could probably use a volume pedal but it’s more susceptible to bumps and nudges.
Always great videos from Dagan! A great guitar player and a great salesman 😀😀😀
OMG this video changed my life. If you don't have 1 get an amp stand!!! I made one in like 20 minutes and my amp sounds 50% better now that its pointing at my head not my shins.
Can't agree more. 30 years ago I used a quad box as an amp stand under my HiWatt DR504 - now it's a foldable amp stand under an AC15.
Gonna try it. I always complained my amp (katana artist) didn't sound as good to my hears as when I record via USB.. But the other day I was like bending into my guitar and hear the amp really close to my head and the tone was so much different.. So weird
Dagan, the Captain Jack Sparrow of the guitar world. your awesome man. awesome video. just got a new Brent Hinds Terror and now i need some more stuff lol. awesome
I would recommend anyone with a loud amp check out the JHS black box. It’s essentially a master volume for amps that lack run. Dime your amp then run it through your effects loop, turn it to a reasonable level yet keep the tone. Best part is it doesn’t require a power supply or battery. Plus it’s like 40 bucks. Definitely something to look into if you don’t have a proper practice amp at home.
Damn thanks for the recommendation. I just got my first tube, a dsl40cr, aaaaand I thought I’d be able to plug in my headphones but found out that I couldn’t
@@MrSpidey333 put power on and keep amp on standby.
@Thomas Ertzeid Gulseth Right, especially if you already have a volume pedal or gr eq pedal, it does the same thing. Helps to get most tone out of, say, Fender Hot Rod Deluxe at home.
or just get a volume pedal, or make one
@@tolvajakos there's two master volumes on DSL40. I guess you can just dial down ;)
Dagan, just wanted to say that I really appreciate your videos! Your help, advice, reviews and opinions are awesome! Thank you! 😀👍🏼
Love it Dagan. Genuinely some stuff i didn't know. cant wait to see the next video
What i liked a lot was a review on that Peavey 6505MH! And a comparison between that 6505 and that EVH... just awesome!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹
Great list on amp accessories.. you're right about the stands really helps!!
Best utility pedal I've ever bought is the Earthquaker Swissthings pedal, way more then just a ab/y pedal wow. Totally simplified my setup, got rid of some noise issues I had and has 2 effects loops built it (1 buffered &1 nonbuffered). Also a built in adjustable 20db clean boost. I needed a ab/y pedal for my amps I run in stereo, a Carvin X50B with 4x12 cab and a Marshall jcm800 4010 combo, I ended up with so much more from this pedal, definitely the pedal you need that you never knew about!
Loving your videos. Very informative, thanks!
Just love that white kramer 84. Damn that's another guitar i want 😁
Protip: kramer guitars can be difficult to mod bc they don't use standard sizings.
As is, they're pretty good though c:
nice to see that Jon Snow found his calling after ditching that boutique dragon chick. Great recommendations:-)
We've hired him for the winter.
Very informative Dagan..great job!..stay safe!
I wish we had PMT I’m the US. I also wish we had Anderton’s and Thomann. I want guitar to take over the country. The world.
I haven’t gigged for many years, but I used to commandeer a table and put my amp on it right behind me. As Dagan says, it helped me hear what I really sounded like. It also made me realise just how loud I was.
I run a Marshall JCM1h and a JVM1h on a stereo 1960DM cab with an ABY box and it's freaking awesome even at low volume!
Hey man I'm building my collection of pedals and I've come to the part about powering them all and I was wondering what your thoughts were about a 9 volt wire set that you plug into a wall plug opposed to a battery pack.
Oh wow! That Two note Cap X is awesome
One you missed is a cab grabber i got mine for Birmingham PMT especially if you are micing the amp up and don’t want to use your DI input . Brilliant invention and no need for a massive normal mic stand which I see guitarist using live all the time .
Just be mindful that if you get a amp stand it will point your amp in the direction of your mic stand if your a singer which will create bleed into the vocal mic. This annoys sound engineers who like quiet stages to avoid feedback issues .
Especially important if you are a singer / guitarist . Just get some wheels for your amp or if you have the money get a hard flight case built it looks more professional and your whole amp will be protected .Best thing I’ve done . Plus you don’t need an amp cover . Trust me it’s worth it spend the money .
Van damme cables - all the fender cables I’ve ever used have gone on me in a live setting which is embarrassing . Cables are important and you can get them custom built (right angles and straight Jack inputs ) from a site on google based in the UK.
Another informative video. Thank you
AB switches are good for different amps if your back can take more than one amp to each gig or your roadie (who has these ?) doesn’t mind carrying loads of equipment .
Ps - if any ‘jealous guitarist’ plays with your settings without your permission you have the guitarist community permission to introduce them to your fist- no one should touch your gear without your permission. If they do ask to have a go on their girlfriend or something precious they hold dear like their car. Watch their face drop with the realization they are indeed a rude idiot .
🙏✊
I’ve had my eye on the ABY switcher pedal from Orange (w/buffer)!
I have been seriously considering a wireless system, and will look into that Boss - Thanks!
@1:18 What really made my amp sound better was the wing feathers of a thousand golden swans along with ruby mosquito eyebrows and diamond encrusted flea tongues and hand-wired by really good white basketball players using unobtainium.
Good work Dagan.
Do you think we can plug 2 WL20 ‘s with one from your guitar to the pedalboard and the other from pedalboard to the amp with no interference Dagan ? 🤟🏼
i used to play an ESP/Ltd F400 that i played through the Line6 tube head and an Orange 2x12 and a Marshall 2x12 i miss that rig so much
I bet a boutique dagon dungeon EQ'd dragon amp would sound pretty sick tho just sayin
Amp stand really important
I want that Kramer 😎
If using 4x12 cabinets may want to also want to get a roadie. 🤷🏼♂️
Love your channel. Howdy from Fort Worth Texas!
One thing to note about cables is that the longer they are, the more high end you lose due to capacitance. So the coily cables have more distance to travel for a given length of cable, and are going to sound darker than the straight ones
but my power slide requires some serious xtra cable length
I wanna take a trip to UK just to meet this guy and buy stuff
Tell me about that Kramer guitar slung around your neck! That has caught my attention!😁👍🏽🎶🎶🔊🔊
Looks like one of the newer Kramer berettas
Don’t you love those? They’re really affordable and come in some nice colors. They really crunch and you can’t beat the simplicity.
we love Dagan
Amp stands are amazing. The one I got is tall so I dont have to bend over to change eq. And yes the amp sounds better facing my head not my legs😂. Who would've thought?
A spare power supply, power strip/surge protector, and power extension cords are always a good idea to have.
very good point!
What's the natural finish superstat on the right? That thing looks beautiful. Is there a video of Dagan demo'ing it?
Great info thanks go and have a sit down in darkened room now!
Spotted the stealth amp! Can you do a review on the EVH LBX-S?
Dagan rules.
This guy is like the Linus of music gear. I love it!
very nice vid
My tone master twin reverb blonde came with a cover but I’m still gonna get a case
When Dagan said Amp-date I'm sold already
Cool video
Cordial cables with Neutrik connectors. Cheap and high quality.
Hi Dagan, now this may sound stupid, but I have to ask. If there are 2 black cables (or any other colour) with identical connectors; how do you tell which is a speaker cable, and which is a guitar cable? I am sure there are a few other people out there would like to know, but won't ask. Might be a topic for another video. Cheers, and happy Christmas. x
You can usually unscrew the tip and look at the wires, if it is two thick wires it's a speaker cable, if they're braided or shielded it's a instrument cable
See above, but also unscrew the cover on the plug, speaker wire is 2 equal gauges, if you see unequal size, it’s not a speaker cable
What is the zoom thingy you go through
Can you recommend repairable cables? If so, a certain brand?
Probably one of the new Fender cables, as far as the employee from Thomann was right, because I asked for the same when I was at the store few weeks ago and he told me to get one of the Fender Professional cable series because you have the effort to self fix them if they should get a problem or a "crack" or something... (Sorry for my English and cheer's)
Ahhh why u so good at making ppl want to buy stuff qwq, now hearing bt stuff ive never heard someone talk about and getting to know things that you didnt and making u want it
Oh, all these are available at PMT? What a coincidence. Lucky for me. ;)
I found out a couple of days ago that Stevie Ray Vaughan used fender for dirty tones and marshalls for clean. This was around the instep tour i think
I blend three amps. Egnater, Marshall and a Black Heart
Fryette Power Station.....attenuate and have 50watts of tube power. Makes any amp usable anywhere.
Man I need that 2 note torpedo
That was funny...when you said you see people buy the wrong things for their amps. Surely, you'd steer them in the right direction. 😂
That's never been my experience in any music shop!
Cool video about stuff that everybody needs!
But people like me don´t buy them until there is no other way
Some people say that attenuators will damage your amp. How true is that? That has kept me away from buying a torpedo captor.
Which store do you work at I’d love to meet you and have a chat👍🏽
I just realized how early I am but great video as always
I was thinking more along the lines of a noise gate. Because it's really more than that. Allows notes to die.
@4:31 Great, but what if you're a cricket?
Yea I built an amp stand
Amp stand 30$ Amazon, truly sound changing
Really?
What guitar is that?
It's a Kramer '84 I believe
Yep! Kramer ‘84 🤘
Ide like more playing than was done in this video.
My Amp cover - a black hefty garbage bag 😊
great stuff
Dagan is 2020s hair metal guitarist
Amp capo
didnt know they still made kramers.
An expensive aby, radial ,has a proper isolation transformer and allows you to run two amps cabs at same time for tone stacking, otherwise mostly any idiot can soder a normal aby switch.
No shit the guitar cable is low impedance, the speaker cable is high voltage
for all you living-room warriors out there: sadly the WL-20 has an huge issue: it can get in the way of your wlan at home - whenever I use this the stupid fire-tv stick will stop working correctly - so damn no noodling around wirelessly while binge-watching tBBT for the 10th time ...
a marshall.a guitar, a lead. a schaffer pedal..done..maybe an attenuator but thats more for your neighbours
I had no idea you were a Geordie. I thought you were Scouse or something. I really need to learn my UK accents.
Must be getting close to Christmas...
seen loads of dagan videos and I have figured it out. He stole a piece of the blarney stone and licks it before filming!
Be aware that Boss WL20 will block your 2.4ghz wifi signal. It is awesome, but you will lose your wifi signal as long as you connect this device
Talks about losing high end with a crap cable...proceeds to recommend a coil cable. The capacitance of that cable is enough to knock your signal down.
I wear amps on my head like headphones.
You rule.
Ok so what is the captor x plugged into "A LITTLE ZOOM THINGY" Sorry I'm a guitar and amp guy. I have no fucking clue what that thing is or what it does
Joke's on you, I can hear through my knees. I feel the vibration and transmit it to my head by enhancing my nen and chakra. It's a forbidden technique.
Been a Bass player for years, just messed with guitar. A few year's ago, I told my wife my dream guitar as a kid and she secretly got it for me. A Fender Jag Stang. After I started playing all the time, I got a GTX50, which I love and actually use gigging as my controller. But the amp Stand changed my life, lol. And you always need the footswich and the expression pedal.
"Rock up to your local pmt store" 1 hour drive 😔
12 ga, all copper cable, jacket is not very important. Monster cable?
Paying for a name, shop around, you can find off shore 12Ga cables
for around a buck a foot...well worth it!
1 caveat test it! Poorly made cable could short the 2 sides. = amplifier melt down, wanna kill a tube amp?
Use a shorted speaker cable!
But minimum 14 ga. It matters!
that gauge requires the large body 1/4” plugs, make your own cable, much cheaper, don’t strangle your tone with small gauge speaker cable
I recommend keep pissing off the sound guys. just kidding. I really recommend beam blockers on all your speakers. gets rid of that annoying Hi frequency.
Wireless systems: Can't have ground loop if you don't have ground.
Amp stand = chair.
"last time I checked you can't hear through your knees"
Dagan not included
instead of getting distortion and effects pedals just get different modelling Amps and use aby switches
Use good cables as one point, and use a WiFi wireless system as another point? Won’t be taking any of these videos seriously anymore.
I wonder what this guy REALLY acts like? When the camera isn't rolling. Fakiness has always irritated me. Just be yourself.
Dagan is a great guy who always has time for customers in the Newcastle PMT branch, especially the nervous inexperienced ones ,all the staff in that branch go out of their way to get the best deal for you, never feel any pressure to buy or get out in there, if it's not in stock at that branch they'll get it for you within a day or two
