Digitech RPA300 forever.
Windows 95 Forever!
One of my first digital pedals, was so bummed when it gave out on me 😂
Music wins.😂
I can't wait till Josh Scott tells the Internet how cool the RP150 is (USB out!) so that I can sell mine for 6 times more than I paid for it.
Dear @Mike Cole Would you be so kind to share the settings you dialed in? Sounded awesome! Cheers
You know, the edge seems like an old school guy, but he has been open to the new tech. I was amazed to find out one of his favorite distortion boxes was a line 6 drive modeler (like the box of the DL4) he had line 6 build him a custom rack version of the pedal box when it first came out.
What exactly are we listening to as you try these out? Are we hearing the sound in the room from a speaker cabinet, close miked, or what?
I think The Edge just killed tube amps. Im not even a U2 fan but when you see people who the money is not a factor for, choosing digital modeling, that means the technology has caught up. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
I hate how much I like the Woodrow.
I feel bad for new era bedroom players. These pedals sound great though. My experience in recording from the prime of the 2" tape to digital era.... These sound great pretty good. If you have the Edges' tech, possibly great to us but to you will sound amazing. I envy your naivete
great video mike just wanted to say youre killin it :)
another thing of note- Dallas Schoo has been trying to retire from the road for the last few years - Dallas is edges tech and has been forever so if Dallas has left another reason to downsize from tube amps to an easy rig any new teach could oversee, Plus edges guitar is so processed - like massively swapping will make no difference .
as a prof touring tech myself I can also throw in the rising cost of freight has also pushed many tours into cutting the weight they have to move from city to city, and the variance in backline rental amps means touring a pedal or rack like amp sim makes the money counters happy. the edge was touring with something like 9-12 old Vox ac30s. imagine that cased and with spares , thats thousands a a day I. moving let alone storing and prepping, with a an amp modeller you can carry 2 in a tech draw , if a pedal and 2 in a rack if racked. Plus for a lot of touring acts the ability to have multiple rigs in a modeller makes sense. Touring is no longer about moving the art from place e to place, its down to budgets, freight times, shipping times, container rentals, fly gear and carnet costs, as fuel goes up all flying costs go up. and if any band can drop a container ful of backline off a tour that makes managers and accountants happy , Also some tours stipulate no amps on stage so by that point your on in ears and your hearing your amp mic'd up 30 feet away so running an amp sim is just the same. there's so many variables to the switch to digital and hybrid rigs, its not just about does it sound as good or better,
I'm Team UA Woodrow all the way. I've used tube amps for 47 years. The Woodrow feels as exciting as it sounds. It's so dynamic. It is a rubicon we have crossed with these.
The BOSS IR-2 seems like a good bang for the Buck Amp sim pedal and it's the same form factor as the other BOSS pedals which is pretty awesome
Do u have one and if so what's it like?
Check out the boss ir 200
Mike, your videos are always entertaining and informative. Your enthusiasm and sense of humor makes them impossible to ignore. Thank you!
Check out the Simplifier Mk2, it’s completely analog and does fender, marshal and vox. I’ve just bought one and it’s blown my mind!
thanks, it was truly inspiring! Can you please make a video where you explain how to set up a stereo rig with uad pedals? (or explain it ?)
Please forgive my clipped style. But!!! You did the best modeling promo ever. I'm 70, yes older than dirt. And I'll play Praise and Worship this Sunday. Bass, Guitar, any chart. But I sub to 15 Guitar Content UA-camrs. Seriously, this is helpful. You put the chops on the little boxes and we understand!! Thank you sincerely. I may change the makeup of my next gig with a pedal board with simulators.
Ayyy!!!! Happy New Year and Thanks and thanks for sharing!
I’m an advocate of this approach. A few years ago, I ditched all my tube amps to got with Fender’s Tonemaster amps (Twin and Deluxe Reverb) for live gigs. Will never go back. And I’m looking at trying the new Boss-IR2 at the next gig - in live settings the digital products go a long long way… feel and sound great. I donated all my tube amps to musical charities.
One thing I would highly recommend with a stereo rig like this is to use a pedal like the Duophony to run the pedals in stereo and balance the signals so that the right side isn't pulling more than the left side and also to keep your stereo effects balanced as well.
incredible pedal
Another perfect solution I have is a Allen & Heath ZED 10FX Mixer. Solves all issues and so convenient to feed stereo outs from mixer to sound guy for Front Room sound
The problem is... YOU want to sound like somebody else... YOU should be sounding like.... YOU.
TRUTH!!! What is your sound is the question you should be asking yourself
@@mikemaysmusic5519 my guitarist Dwayne from way back in 1980's was always tone chasing... he's 60 now and still in the endless cycle of buying and selling his equipment. I still visit him every year and we do a jam with dozens of old friends... I've always had the same equipment (sometimes I'll get a new guitar but my amp and pedals are always the same) I suppose he is just stubborn. Mike, don't be my friend Dwayne... find your sound... and be your sound. I hope you make that your purpose!
@28mmRPG yes sir!!! What you're speaking is the truth. My rig has pretty much stayed the same once I found the keeley supro amp. I added a revv g20 and I can pretty much cover anything. I have two guitars, a Gretsch Annie and an ESP Ltd 1000 Duncan. I would love to upgrade to a Falcon one day... but if I do I do and if I don't I don't. I say upgrade because the Annie has some bad overtones from the Bigsby that drives me nuts, even though I love the filtertron sound. I can cover a lot of territory with that and five or six pedals. What's your rig look like?
A few years ago I started acquiring pedals, and I was buying EVERYTHING that came out, from SweetWater, spending 1000s of $s, after being a 2-3 pedal guy for 15 years I went all the way and had a huge, stereo board, with an ACS1 and a Boss IR2 on different boards going into effects loops, etc.
I had a luscious, overkill rig, and it was glorious, but I noticed that with all those options I still yearned for a simpler setup, and my tone wasn’t necessarily better with all those pedals, I just had a shitload of options, most of which I never really used.
Last month I sold most of my gear and went back to a dead simple setup, mono with 5 pedals. I still have the Ir200, and now I get the best tone of my life because I only kept the really good stuff and sold everything else. 1 fuzz, one Od, and a boss DD8. My tone rules now and my OcD can relax because I have a dead simple rig.
I might get t rid of the IR200 eventually and just use an IR2, but I’m happy
Moral of the story: after 20 years of playing I’m back to simplicity, after going on a gear journey, and I’m enjoying guitar now more than I ever jave
Heya. Can I ask what moves the air after the IR2? Do you have studio monitors or something?
Funny how we discover that all that really matters is the music. Notes matter, tone is subjective and ultimately irrelevant. I love big iron and tubes, but the cost, ridiculous weight and their inevitable tone degradation over time is real. Did I mention I despise screens and sub menus ? Lol
This comment could have been minimized as well. Ha! Kidding.
For those of us who have none of the above and are just starting out on electric guitar, what are the first 2 or 3 must haves?
@@chuckdavis5300 A good tuning pedal or clip on tuner.
Mike, I just love your content, your guitar playing skills, the way you break down each subject to every single detail, the way you film these videos. You are doing an incredibly amazing job. I just wanted to say thank you for all this. The goat!!!
Hey Mike Cole Thanks for doing this Video on Perception of what you think is to come to the future of guitar. I was scared of doing the offering of digital IK Multimedia package of Keys and Amplitube Amps of which I could/would never afford during Covid 2019. Purchasing the AXE Solo NOT buying the IR Modeling product "TONEX" YET. Practice. Happy New Year 2024 to you & ALL
I’m 100% on board with amp sims. I’m about to make the switch myself. 15+ years of lugging amps around is taking its toll lol
Dude! You are getting hired somewhere as a media personality. Period. Your intelligence and humor are off the charts.
Yeah agreed. He’s great.
The elephant in the room is this:
Stevie Ray probably didn't use a Fender Twin in his bedroom
Jimi didn't probably use a Marshall stack in his bedroom
Mayer probabably doesn't use a Two Rock in his bedroom
Man! I have sold gear and gigged my whole life and an appropriate amp for a 10,000 seat arena is most likely NOT an appropriate amp for a guy's living room or a tiny club that seats 100 people.
The biz is so saturated with hype and rather non- thinking egos it is laughable.
Folks get over obsessed with gear and tone because it is easier to buy stuff than learn to actually be able to play even the most basic gig or session.
As a guy who has gigged 40+ years, honestly, the clothes you wear and the hat you have on, on stage and how you interact with your audience will be far, far more important to the average audience than how perfect your tone is on stage.
They won't hear that anyway because they are going to hear something totally different because the P.A. and the physical distance they are from your rig changes everything.
Wake up! Learn to play, learn to talk to the audience, learn to network with other players.
Don't get obsessed with gear and chasing some " perfect" amp. It is cruddy excuse to avoid learning how to make music.
Interesting, I think the user interface is a critical aspect. What's the learning curve / time needed before you can get the presets dialed in and are comfortable with what the switches, knobs, sliders, and wheels control relative to the indicators, graphic ICONS, and the sound output, understand when something goes wrong and how to fix it. Who turned my knob?
I just got a Boss IR-2 as a Christmas gift to myself. Even though it's the honeymoon period, I have no regrets, it's exactly what the doctor ordered.
I’ve been tempted to get one myself! How have you liked it so far? Any favorite models/settings?
@@notben7 I like it a lot, I've used it to record some demos. My favorite models are the Tweed, Diamond, and High Gain
I am the only one that thinks this digital stuff sound like shit? I mean, have you ever dimed a plexi ? It is just no comparison. Like day and night.
And this is why I got a fractal fm9. All my problems solved! And the best tone I’ve ever had
Do a deeper dive. That is not every U2 song. Don't be that guy with the lazy takes.
Considering the studio is supposed to be the ideal scenario and the road is the practical scenario, you'd expect amps to be used more in the studio than live. But Satriani ditched his Marshalls for recording his last album for example. It seems digital has come so far it's good enough and more practical than lugging round a tube amp.
first "every u2 song" sounded like TP' american girl to me...
You’re at 199k!! Go get that 200k, Mike!! How are we celebrating such a massive milestone, dude?!
lol I wanted a Selmer so I could sound like Syd Barrett on Interstellar Overdrive. Ultimately I got a Thorpy Scarlet Tunic instead, pedal chain in tact, straight to DAW. Sure enough, it's the bold sparky electric character I wanted from the Selmer but SILENT NOISE FLOOR, no endless service, electrocution, etc, just "nicer" to own and use in every way. And if I want to crank my stereo to feel it get loud in the room & get kicked out of the house I can. Love it. Effectrode boost & fuzz for true tube compression before it & I'm in heaven.
nah, nothing changed, your clickbait is annoying as always.
I stared selling my amplifier and deside to used my Logic Pro x plug-ins to do love performances with two speakers 300 watts and build my own track. It sounds awesome nothing better than my guitar effects library
What cable method did you use?? Did you use a splitter box in front of the pedals??
I played in a small group that would perform at community events and most of the times there were no monitors so I needed an amp to hear myself. I think amps still have a place for budding musicians in unpredictable environments
Why not this + some sort of personal monitor or powered cab?
@@alessandrolugli7850 yes that might work. I was playing mostly with a 5 watt practice amp that was mic'ed.
To a relative newbie could you go over how you system is architected. Guitar to pedal board to a interface to your laptop and then through the computer speakers ? What app are you running on the laptop ? Thanks
Joyo American Sound into the house PA woks for me....30 bucks lol
Tell us more. I dig my Joyo AMS for home practice but have tried it at a gig yet. I sort of convinced myself I should get the Dream for that but still not sure. I bet the audience wouldn’t notice.
Can you explain if these make any sense for home use if home use at low volume is all you do? It seems like you still need a cabinet so would it make sense to go this route if you are ready to step up from something like a Katana? Would the cabinet limit the variety of sounds you would get from these things? I am thinking of getting something like a Vox AC15 but all I hear is that tube amps are eventually going to be gone and tubes are getting harder to get.
great video ....im looking at ordering now......have you ever done a video on your worship pedalboard. Thanks MC
They can abandon their amps, so I can buy those amps for less money 8 )
Cool video, love watching your process of discovery. I used tube backbreakers of all sorts, but mostly Mesa Boogie (but are built like and weigh as much as tanks) for three decades. Their amps have the amazing ability to be the cleanest amp in the world and the highest gain and everywhere in between. Then I discovered Kemper in 2019 and haven't looked back. I've literally migrated everything into the Kemper. The only other pieces of gear I run is two Dunlop mini volume pedals - one for well, volume, and the other for Morphing (increasing a parameter like delay in the fly), and a wireless. And when I miss the tube amps, which is rare the Kemper is so close, I plug the Kemper into the effects return of one of them and have the amazing tone of the Kemper through the Tube power section and Celestion speaker.
These amp modeleres always confuse me. Do you still need a pre-amp after these parels or can they go straight to a cabinet?
They cannot go straight into a guitar cab, but they can go straight into a PA system, which singers already use when playing live.
Was not disappointed! You are awesome Mike❤ This was a great video 👍
Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen you put out. Thanks for sharing
I really like the style on this video - keeping the guitar riff playing as you speak over the video what you are doing next, plus the clean edits and jumps.
While there will always be some market for full size tube amps - profilers/modellers have been around for a while and have been widely adopted.
These amp-in-a-pedal have slipped in below the price of the big profilers and are a great option for many. (as well as the big rock stars)
A (big-ish) pedalboard with 4 or 5 amps wired in various configurations, plus your favorite pedals that you can take anywhere - with maybe a FRF cab or foldback or IEM so you can hear yourself.
I do love the line about the infinity stones - and I'm sure there will be a full set at some point.
I just want all the gear, every single thing I can get my hands on. It's a hobby. I'm a metal head thrash lover but I still want to be Stevie Ray Vaughan when I feel like it. I want that Pink Floyd tone sometimes. I love a twangy tele and a SG and a Steve Vai Ibanez. Never stop Mike, just keep learning and enjoying the wonderful gift you have. Constantly evolving and changing setups is part of the fun and joy of what we love.
Mike you’re so fun to listen to and your honest curiosity is heartwarming. Keep it coming!
I love your content. I've been a tube amp user for 25 years. I now use a UA Lion, Ruby, and Dream 65 exclusively for playing out. Never going back. When I can't go straight to front of house, I just bring a Line 6 powercab. Cannot beat it.
Great vid! Can’t wait to see what kind of stuff you can do with this setup. I stumbled into this type of idea a couple years back.
Theyre alot of fun. I own the Dream, but.. youll be back to amps. As soon as a soundman doesnt give ya what you need in the monitors, youll switch back. Now I carry it in my backpack in case my amp goes down, or its a real small, or crappy load in. And it takes pedals well tho, and definitely sounds like a Deluxe.
I switched to a preamp DI'd into the PA 18 months ago and I haven't looked back. Even with cheap IEMs I hear myself better and it's easier to mix on stage. I've been using the two notes ReVolt. Sounds fine and works well. I sometimes use a FRFR cab if it's a tiny gig but otherwise I'm very happy.
But 4 minutes in ... we went to a 'Commercial Break'. Dang! Loving it. Oops ... apologies ... you're back ... p.s. just wrapped at 10' + Fun stuff.
The Edge came up with interesting parts but he doesn't exactly have the best tone. I bought the Dream '65 and when I compare it to my Rivera modded Princeton, it falls way short. It's more like how real amps make you feel. I own my Princeton, a Bloomfield Two Rock, and a Mesa Boogie mk iic+ and I'd never trade them in for pedals. That's silly . Still I like the Dream '65 because it's convenient. I'd like it even more if you could plug in headphones. I am considering getting a Ruby. But I'd be careful about over-hyping these pedals.
Got all 4 UAD amp pedals plus the Starlight. I don't know...i got the Kemper profiler already for years which sounds awesome. And now that the Kemper Player has hit the market and i bought one, i don't know what to do with all those UAD pedals...I really love them all, but....
The Edge was up front about WHY he chooses the modelers: he's using them on projects like playing TV gigs where they don't have the time to set up his usual prefered rig, or on things like the Las Vegas show where there's so much more happening than the band that it doesn't make sense to have something like amps and mic to manage if something goes wrong. But he's worked with companies like Line 6 since their very beginning. He's accustomed to working around their limitations. Still, if he were in the studio he'd probably choose real amps, because given the space, time, and access why wouldn't you? I think modelers make sense for a lot of practical reasons in the modern world, and if they make you happy and convince you of a feeling then why not?
lol. been running my ruby in parallel with 2 amps from hx stomp plexi and fender amps. 4 fuzz pedals in parallel (ehx triparallells mixer)2 octaves summed by an old overdriven xenyx behringer (not with the new midas pres, the old vintage grungy one) mixed in panorama into the amp sims. so much fun. we need a cheap routing option for stereo pedals. already raped modular synth solutions.... an easy cheap matrix mixer for 12+ stereo pedals. with automated lfos fading in between. cmon. innovate lazy bums
err... edge using the UA as it fits the profile to showcase more the visual effects of the vegas sphere gigs (no amps on stage)... i'd bet the amps return on the next live shows in more conventional rock venues. also, if you ask any U2 hard core fan, they will all agree his tone/sound has gone downhill ever since he put his '64 vintage vox ac-30 to pasture. think this dude is going down the rabbit hole for perhaps not good reason...
I think its still a question of the money - U2 is not just a band but also a business. So even if they could afford the cost of using vintage amps live, its not a great business decision to be spending (say for the sake of argument) hundreds of dollars per gig on roadies, insurance, transport, servicing and other costs associated with running complicated, heavy rig. At a time when touring margins are very small and revenue from streaming is negligible, a small portable box that sounds the same show to show, is easily replacable and is a fraction of the cost, is a smarter choice. Especially if 99% of the audience wont notice/care about the difference in tone. Its also very risky to use vintage amps that are irreplacable if lost, stolen or damaged as they are not made anymore, are near impossible to find, or are so unique that they are essentially a priceless piece of history. There are still musicians that tour with crazy rigs (Joe Bonamassa, John Mayer) but its somewhat going to be part of their brand and potentially a reason why people might turn up to the shows. A huge act lik U2 might find they have more reach if they spend the money on promotion or on other stuff like crazy lighting rigs. Finally there is the lucrative endorsement opportunity for promoting a relatively affordable product that can be sold to thousands of fans, which you could never achieve with a vintage amp.
Tonex-- flash in the pan. Massive UA-cam promotion then…..crickets. Nobody wants one. Nobody uses one. Another “me too” product about 7 years late to the party. These pedals are certainly the flavor of the moment but you still need an amplifier of some sort and a speaker of some sort in order to hear them. If you want to run them in stereo, you need two of each, or an amp that can handle a stereo signal, and two separate speaker cabs. And all these amps along with many many more live in my Helix floor (along with just about every pedal you could want) which is still the better mousetrap.
I think these pedals sound amazing. Really varied and inspiring tones. Each one is a little world of guitar sounds.
In think we are on a parallel path. I’m now playing a Milkman The Amp 100. It’s the hybrid between going direct and/or with a 1x12 cabinet with a neo creamback. The direct amp sim is really great. And I’m playing with headphones which is moving me to play lighter. And protect my hearing. It’s a whole new world and I dig it.
If money was no object, I’d probably choose two Diezel VH4s and a ‘76 Marshall Super Bass.
Instead, I have one Boss Katana 100 mkii.
Nope, not really. Oh U reference the ever vacuous edge...Mr Cheese Whizz over processed automated echo delay repeat blather himself? Literally guitar sound for people who hate guitar sounds. OK
Mike, check out the Walrus Audio ACS1.
Great video. The missing link is not necessarily the amp or pedals, it's that the Edge has the world's best sound man and PAs. I'd rather my small audience hear my cab sound then a crappy gtr tone ruined by a bored, crappy local sound guy. 😂
I got the UAFX Dream 65 and I'm waiting for the Lion 68 (Marshall sim). I think those will keep me busy for awhile.
Mike, this is the reason I’m still not subscribed. You don’t know who you are.
But still, you are interesting, and I have a feeling you will one day.
I bought the dream 65 and its really amp like compared to its competitors that almost do.My pedals sound much better through this to , I like hassle free gigging and getting a really good tone like my old fender tube amps sound.I think this pedal looks expensive but then you see how much the real thing costs and how heavy it is it makes this seem very reasonable indeed.
MMM... how to tell you this... I get annoyed at earing the guitar's strings almost as loud as the output of the pedals... can you do the same but with isolated output and no room ambiance... ?
Will you wear a hat, cause Edge does it?
Wtf
You need a delay, a reverb and tube screamer) maybe a flanger, but that’s very optional
Why Mike Cole Leans In So Close To The Camera
Amp Modeling Pedals vs Neural Amp Sims? Just asking / learning - video rocks! What Camera did you use for making this video?
Did you use your phone to change settings on these beasts 😂 live over bluetooth 😂? Maybe with multiple phones you could change all of them at once!
"worship" players with thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gear are in direct contradiction to the message of Jesus himself.
Creators with clickbait thumbs ans titel, making videos that dont contain any original content and are only advertising. Nothing changed.
I recently joined a band and elected to go for a Dream 65 as my amp sound instead of a traditional tube amp. It's much more convenient for our limited rehearsal and recording space, and it will be much more flexible when we start gigging. If direct-in works best for the venue, then we'll be all set. If I need an actual on-stage amp, then I can just plug into a power amp and cabinet!
It should be noted that Edge’s change was partly due to the particular venue in Vegas and related requirements. That is not a normal building/stage.
I’ve briefly used a Ruby for a set where I had to learn it in about 5 minutes and thought it was okay, but not ideal for my board. If UA made a Hiwatt style I’m sure it would be great…that’s the amp style I built my rig around.
Obviously the convenience of the UAs is hard to beat, doubly so for stereo. I still appreciate real amps, but if it sounds good, it is good.
Yeah. Modelling rigs just got bigger, less versatile, and have more latency than just using a single unit.
I am in but how do you get this working at a small gig, where you do not have a monitor. FRFR on stage with you? And I guess a pair of them if you want to go stereo? And then is that the sound that goes to audience as well as for you and your band? Very interested in the tech, the good sound and certainly less weight. Not sure how you could best work the idea for a regular club gig.
My guess is that's where Class D power amp/pedal amp shine. The first gen modellers gave us Crate CPB150, one of the first Class D amp for such purpose.
1 does stereo and it goes straight into speakers/monitors
From many accounts nobody wants big amps anymore. I know two retailers that cannot move larger amps.
U2/Edge had always been a HUGE influence on the effects part of the guitar scene and it makes so much sense he'll be running them live. Also, even though he might have billions of dollars in insurance I think he'd rather not risk his equipment getting bust with how expensive vintage gear are getting now. He already hulls hundreds of effects so a couple more probably is easier for him. Also, Mike I'm loving your improvement in video editing lately and wanted to say looking forward to what you'll be showing us on 2024. Hope you had a merry Xmas, and a great NY to come :D
One element you missed: when the Edge is writing songs on tour, in his hotel room, on the bus, he can’t use his vintage amps.
I got all 4 the Ruby, dream, and lion sound good with a WDW setup.
I know amp modeling has come a long, long way. But no matter how good it gets, it’s never going to replicate the primal experience of having a great amp behind you on stage and how that elevates your performance and therefore the energy level and vibe for the audience. Live music is getting increasingly sterile due to amp modelers and in-ear monitors.
Amen! It is so fun to learn where the hot feedback prone areas are on a stage so a guy can use that for some controlled feedback on his guitar.
Imagine Ted Nugent live without him walking over to some place on stage where his guitar is a tiny bit extra feedback prone. It is part of the guitar's beauty.
Downside: Less ability to use feedback creatively, less physical presence on stage of sound (Which has been shown to have negative health and mental effects).
Upside: Lighter, smaller, not as expensive, preserves hearing, less to no unwanted feedback, and no physical parts (tubes) to replace.
Net equal: Audience volume, and audience sound quality.
Look, there's some benefits to vintage stuff, but you're kind of reaching. At what point does the benefits outweigh the drawbacks?
@@MrSJPowell I am not a fan of vintage stuff and tubes are a pain but a nice, easy to carry and set up 25 lb. 20 watt ss amp with a nice 10" or 12" speaker on a stand that is mic'd sure is nice compared to in- ear monitors and no amp.
And so many guys running the mix are really un-qualied for their job, it is nice to have some control over one's tone. Plus often in a tiny club, ( 75 legal occupancy)all a guy needs is a small SS one twelve amp.
There is a happy medium to it all.
Plus if it is a really small venue those tweeters in a 2 way mains system can really ugly up a guitar tone for any audience member sitting too close to em.
That is the beauty of a one way 12" driver. It is much smoother sounding at 10-20 ft.
Most of my gigs are in clubs that have a legal occupancy under 125.
Mind you in a big hall, 1000 occupancy or more, I do prefer to just use an emulated, no amp set up but few guitar owners play venues that size.
kinda dorky thing to say, but i really like the lamp in the background, just the lightbulb
So, which new unit should I buy to replace my HX 500? please and thanks!
Tell me how it's the greatest thing you've ever heard.
Until the next video.
One day I hope to not onky be amazed but actually understand even one of your videos lol. I have work to do.
The edge and other bands that have endless money to spend our only doing this because it saves the record labels tons of money on touring costs
Fender Princeton! Then call it quits. What is a celebrity? The sound I want?
Interesting Topic!
Are you using a Diso Di box? If you use the Ruby and Dream one Ruby amp causes phase issues
I use a Dream and a Ruby with an ABY. I really don’t need anything else.
You lack the 4th infinity stone. The UA Lion!
I love your videos.Its like you're actually talking to me.
Should just start collecting Dumbles and 58 bursts.
Give me a break, who cares. The Edge is shite. Not a good guitarist.
ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh love u dude
