Hey! Long time lurker here. Congrats on your channel's growth. I really enjoy your laid back actitud a lot, you seem much more genuine than many other guitar youtubers. It's easy to just put your videos on the background while I'm doing stuff, and it is pretty soothing.

To the person asking about the modeler with the lowest latency... Well, the way I'm going to answer this based on my own tests and experience is with something that, technically, isn't really a modeler per say: Polychrome DSP McRocklin Suite & HyperRig Keisel. These ARE guitar plugins (and standalone apps) that produce a wide variety of tones - pretty much anything you could ask for, BUT, it does not set out to reproduce any particular brand name gear. It just does it's own thing, although you can stuff through IR's with it if you really want I guess. It's really great at reproducing classic 80's Rockman style tones in particular, and lush ckeans/edge-of-breakup stuff. It can sound very close to Vai's tones through classic Carvin gear, and in fact there are many presets with names that are nods to many Vai tunes, which shouldn't be surprising considering McRocklin's ties to Vai over the years (since he was a wee lad no less). Anyhow, out of all the full festured guitar plugins and apps I've tried it has the lowest latency and feels very "snappy". As players we're kind of obsessed with name brand gear though so plugins like this have an uphill battle sometimes (Blue Cat Audio's stuff has the same battle). The branded gear "obsession" is for a reason of course. It's stuff we're familiar with the sound of and sometimes there's just no better way to describe a sound or tone we might be looking for. Most experienced players know what your talking about if you're talking about dialing in a Peavey 5150 sound, or a Mesa Boogie Dual Rect. A Jumped Plexi, etc. But I guess the fact that Polychrome's stuff isn't "burdened" with trying to authentically sound like any specific piece of existing gear frees the developers to optimize the crap out of the software for just making stuff that sounds great. It's not going to be to everyone's tastes, but I think it sounds and plays great. I hate the way the trial works for it but I guess it's good enough to get the gist of it. I might give 2nd place to THU's Overloud stuff. You don't hear about that one as much but it's also really snappy. I think it might have had the lowest latency before I tried tge Polychrome stuff. fwiw, I've tried plugins from all the major vendors out there and all the "famous" ones. Bias, Neural DSP, Helix Native, THU/TH3 Overloud (always get the THx part mixed up), Amplitube, ML Soundlabs, Black Cat Audio, and on and on and on. This doesn't make me an authority any more than anyone else of course. Just gives me a basis to form my own opinions. With a good audio interface I don't think latency is going to be the dealbreaker for very many of the options if at all. Pretty much all of them are "good enough" in this regard these days, though I can't say the difference between real amos and equipment is completely unnoticeable. Still, it gets better every year and so far the Polychrome stuff has the lowest latency I've found and it *is* noticable to me when I play. And unlike some other things, latency IS a measurable objective thing. How are playing and ears react to it might have some subjectivity though. Anyhow, the low latency doesn't make it the only tool I use though. Far too many other considerations. But it's a nice one to have. Cheers.
I just realized I wasn't even subscribed!! Glad I caught that. I downloaded some of your Tonex profiles last night and holy !@#$%! I won't mention any names of the other people I have purchased from in the past, buy I have been struggling to get the high gain I need (I'm an addict lol). I still had to boost them as I am a HIGH gain fanatic but damn! I finally got there thanks to your profiles and the price was like 1/4 the cost of the other's I purchased.
One horror movie that stands out of me is "An American Werewolf In London"!!! Regardless of the FX possibly being dated by todays standards, back when it came out, they were groundbreaking!!! The movie was dark, and funny at the same time. It was also utterly terrifing!!! The "moores scene" is just ultra brutal!!! If you are not familiar with this film, and a fan of horror movies, I highly recommend you watch it!!! Like seriously!! Go watch it right now!!😂😂😂
@TaylorDanley lol it was too expensive for me to not commit to guitar, I'll get there soon. I just got a boss katana 100w gen 3 for 249 so I'm pretty pumped lol
I'm new to guitar and I just came across your channel while researching budget guitars. I ended up going with a Kramer Baretta special (based on my brother's recommendation cause he's a huge guitar nerd). I still ended up watching a ton of your videos anyway cause they're just entertaining and informative. Keep it up man!
Congrats on the 70k mark! Great content and being personable pays off. I’m still banging my head against the wall trying to break the 2k mark. 😂 There will be blood is top tier for sure btw.

Hey man for your back, the “Dr Stuart McGill Big 3” exercises have helped me manage a severely wrecked back I’ve had for about 25 years. Also walking for 30-40 mins per day can have a remarkable positive effect. Love your stuff, feel better!
thanks so much dude 🙏 I had an injury like 6 months ago (SI joint) and it’s just an ongoing thing that I need to actually seek help for instead of toughing it out. this time I literally bent over and it just wrecked me. you are 100% correct about walking too!
Congrats on the 69 hhhoooo yeah. Hahahah. Cheers to you, and I (as a doom stoner sludge guy) you make it really difficult to stick to that style. Why, cause you appeal to my death metal heart.
Taylor! YOOO!!!! That real amp to IR vs plugin to Silent Sister answer helped out a ton! OvOb Yea, I genuinely thought about getting a Mark V 25w head for my reamping but now I'm just considering getting a used 2x12 and building an iso box around it and powering it with a Baby Bomb and then putting an SM57 and a D112 on it! OvOb Yes, I talked about Silent Sister to make sure our tenant doesn't see himself out of the home because we need his rent! >u
4:00 HAHA!!! I got that! Can’t wait bro. I hope it’s as good as my uncles. Im ordering one of their baritones here in a few weeks. Got a couple mixing jobs coming up and im gonna put the cash on my own firefly.
Oh and thank you for your reply. You’re totally right and I think I’m getting in my own way. And I think the thing that has actually been bothering me the most that I want to do is start a sample replacement and impulse response website. I have tons of drum samples I’ve made in the past and a handful of them that I’ve put a ton of effort into and I might have a product on my hands. My current problem is first off, who the hell am I against all these pros?! Imposter syndrome. And then building a website seems so over my head. But you got my attention there. Nothing worth doing is easy.
It's not just you, it's everyone. I have a friend who is a pretty large (or was) UA-camr.. And every time I ask him for advice, he just asks me questions that make me realize that I'm just getting in my own way 😂
@ yeah bro. I just gotta stop being scared of things that seem too hard for me. You really hit the nail on the head. I have a thing I wanna do that I believe might have some promise to it. I need to just commit and jump in.
@@TaylorDanley Duuuuuude exactly what happened to me when I was looking over a chair reaching for something. Once you heal up just be sure to take care of yourself cause being 40, we don't heal that fast hence the "service engine soon" meaning.
Hey cool, I didn't know you did jiu-jitsu! I used to work at Century Martial Arts & trained Tae Kwon Do with the vice president at the time(mid-90s). The UFC was a new thing at the time & me & a few other guys were like "holy crap, if we got taken down, we wouldn't know what to do", so we started looking into learning ground fighting. Back then, that was a fairly rare thing, unless you were a wrestler in high school or something... We actually started learning submissions by studying(not just watching) bootleg Japanese pro-wrestling VHS tapes! They had what was called 'shoot' style promotions, which was basically the forerunner to the UFC, but in a ring instead of a cage. In pro-wrestling lingo, a 'shoot' was when shit got real(more often in the locker room or a parking lot than in the ring), as opposed to a 'work', which was the agreed upon match/finish. Anyways, long story long, we eventually were able to locate both a Judo and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu dojos & start learning properly. Ah, those were the days! :0)
@@TonyHookedonVanlife so cool! Yeah I haven’t trained in a while, I moved and then with the second child life just kind of got in the way, but I’m a lifetime member of SBG under Matt Thornton. Matt trained Randy Coture in those early UFC days and is definitely one of the main coaches in the “let’s see what actually works in practice” method of training. Admittedly I’m much better at stand up than ground, but that’s harder to train when you’re old unless you have people you really trust. My hope now is to train my kids, my son is already 1 1/2 years in and so much better than me 😂
Congratulations on the channel growth I am genuinely happy for your success love the positive attitude you have and also the light hearted humor❤ Have you heard of the Doom box or Doom cab it's like a thousand watt cabinet!!! I've just seen a promotional video for it very recently. In your experience would you ever have a need to utilize something like that?
i just ordered a Mitchell td100 for $80 from guitar center... they are having a "black Friday" deal all November, maybe you should check out some cheap guitars for us XD
I subscribed to your channel not only to see new stuff but because you were still showing older gear. Older gear may not be the profitable path but I really love hearing the old gear translating through your quality video and audio.
@@Gate11Studio not everything I do has to be profit motivated! TBH with you, 100% of my motivation to start obsidian audio was to alleviate the need to rely on sponsored videos to pay the bills so that I can have more time to do fun stuff! So 2025 I’m gonna push it really hard, and if it works out, I’ll be able to make THE FUNNEST GUITAR VIDEOS ON THE PLANET EARTH 😂
Hi sir i am a blind person from from the philippines. I really really love your videos specially when you play the guitar. I wish i could have a guitar and a pedal effects but unfortunately i cant afford to buy it. But anyways goodluck sir and God bless you sir Taylor.
@@KaineDaRealest1 IT MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE TOO. 😂 love warriors. But there’s always recency bias since I get to try so many cool things all the time. I’m 100% spoiled in that regard, and I don’t ever take it for granted

@@marcelohenriquepandion2868 I’m afraid to make this video because I’m pretty sure that’s how it would turn out. Maybe it’s a good idea to have a 3 hour video on the channel, I think UA-cam like that 🤣
I enjoy your reviews and sound...and actually bought the Ibanez gio because your review a month ago...it's great for price point...but I'm 55..and recently took the leap bought the focusrite 2i2 audio interface package deal and I'm really having a hard time understanding how a daw works...my laptop is 4 years old couldn't use the free one from focusrite but rented a new laptop and tried it...couldn't get it really...i have sound and playing through interface but...could not figure out how to load amp sims or how to use ir's...did download cakewalk...onto mine...trying it so far same thing...any help for simplicity would be really great...is there just an amp simulation I can use to just play different amp modular on my laptop??? I'm old I know....seems sure easier to plug into my 6505ii and mesa traditional 4x12
Yeah it can be a big learning curve. The Amped Roots is a free 5150 plugin that's pretty great. It's also standalone, meaning you can load it up and play through it without having to get into your DAW. Just make sure your latency is low in the settings of the plugin (you'll notice if it's not)
@@TaylorDanley U did great with the branding, my first project was called Obsidiath so its only natural for me to wanna add smth of yours to my collection
@@riffsnoleads so hard to pick just one scene from that movie 😂 the scene where he tells the railroad guy that he’s gonna come into his house at night while he’s sleeping and cut his throat is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever heard 🤣
@@kramersurfer5280 like I said, subs beyond 1000 don’t really affect how much you make from ad revenue, it’s based off of total views. I would say my income is probably 33% ad revenue, 33% sponsorships, and the rest is everything else (selling gear on reverb, affiliate links, Patreon, etc) I don’t think people realize (I didn’t when I started) how much actual work goes on behind the scenes that isn’t related to making videos. That work behind the scenes is really what makes doing UA-cam full time possible. Also consider I’m working 24/7 basically. I’m always on the clock so to speak, but I’m cool with it because I love doing this stuff! 💪🥳 Hope that satisfies your curiosity!
Why'd you get fired? I worry about getting canned a lot at my current job of 7+ years. It's not the 80s anymore... Apparently, name calling and F-yous will get you fired these days. 😀
@@JacksonAxe so this is a long story, but I’ll try and summarize it here. I managed a distribution center so I had quite a few employees. I already knew that I needed to plan my exit because I wasn’t happy, and I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to do (still making $0 on UA-cam lol), but I knew if I didn’t start exiting I’d rage quit one day or worse, stay there forever. So I leveraged my value to the company and hired my replacement. My terms were I’d stay to train them through the holidays, change my salary to an hourly rate, but in return I’d stay on as a social media manager part time after the holidays. Shortly after that holiday season covid happened and everything started to lock down. They told me they couldn’t afford to keep me on, and let me go. Best thing that’s ever happened to me 😂 . I still talk to the owner sometimes who has asked me if I want to come back, we always had a good relationship, but I’m on my own journey now 🥳

To the person asking about the modeler with the lowest latency... Well, the way I'm going to answer this based on my own tests and experience is with something that, technically, isn't really a modeler per say: Polychrome DSP McRocklin Suite & HyperRig Keisel. These ARE guitar plugins (and standalone apps) that produce a wide variety of tones - pretty much anything you could ask for, BUT, it does not set out to reproduce any particular brand name gear. It just does it's own thing, although you can stuff through IR's with it if you really want I guess. It's really great at reproducing classic 80's Rockman style tones in particular, and lush ckeans/edge-of-breakup stuff. It can sound very close to Vai's tones through classic Carvin gear, and in fact there are many presets with names that are nods to many Vai tunes, which shouldn't be surprising considering McRocklin's ties to Vai over the years (since he was a wee lad no less). Anyhow, out of all the full festured guitar plugins and apps I've tried it has the lowest latency and feels very "snappy". As players we're kind of obsessed with name brand gear though so plugins like this have an uphill battle sometimes (Blue Cat Audio's stuff has the same battle).
The branded gear "obsession" is for a reason of course. It's stuff we're familiar with the sound of and sometimes there's just no better way to describe a sound or tone we might be looking for. Most experienced players know what your talking about if you're talking about dialing in a Peavey 5150 sound, or a Mesa Boogie Dual Rect. A Jumped Plexi, etc. But I guess the fact that Polychrome's stuff isn't "burdened" with trying to authentically sound like any specific piece of existing gear frees the developers to optimize the crap out of the software for just making stuff that sounds great. It's not going to be to everyone's tastes, but I think it sounds and plays great. I hate the way the trial works for it but I guess it's good enough to get the gist of it.
I might give 2nd place to THU's Overloud stuff. You don't hear about that one as much but it's also really snappy. I think it might have had the lowest latency before I tried tge Polychrome stuff.
fwiw, I've tried plugins from all the major vendors out there and all the "famous" ones. Bias, Neural DSP, Helix Native, THU/TH3 Overloud (always get the THx part mixed up), Amplitube, ML Soundlabs, Black Cat Audio, and on and on and on. This doesn't make me an authority any more than anyone else of course. Just gives me a basis to form my own opinions. With a good audio interface I don't think latency is going to be the dealbreaker for very many of the options if at all. Pretty much all of them are "good enough" in this regard these days, though I can't say the difference between real amos and equipment is completely unnoticeable. Still, it gets better every year and so far the Polychrome stuff has the lowest latency I've found and it *is* noticable to me when I play.

So 2025 I’m gonna push it really hard, and if it works out, I’ll be able to make THE FUNNEST GUITAR VIDEOS ON THE PLANET EARTH 😂
@TaylorDanley I wish you all the best! Thanks for replying I never expected that!
I don’t know if There Will Be Blood has much suspense because the title is accurate. (I’m kidding, it’s a fantastic film that’s full of suspense.)
Nice!
Regarding the title, thanks to you, for providing the content :)
Hope ya feel better soon man. Gnarly to see ya do a q+a too.
Hi sir i am a blind person from from the philippines. I really really love your videos specially when you play the guitar. I wish i could have a guitar and a pedal effects but unfortunately i cant afford to buy it. But anyways goodluck sir and God bless you sir Taylor.
Let’s get that gear video
Congratulations. Btw, you are very professional.
I appreciate that. My tornado of a studio disagrees with you 😂 but I try my best!
Your positivity and demeanor are infectious. I love your content, man. Keep it coming, but please also take care of yourself.
@@jeffreymartinez5829 thanks so much man! I appreciate that 💪💪💪
BC Rich out of the box seem to me very ready for the players
Although the last new purchase was some time ago
Beautiful 7 string🎸
Been watching for 4 years ever since your Jackson warrior video it’s my favorite guitar
@@KaineDaRealest1 IT MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE TOO. 😂 love warriors. But there’s always recency bias since I get to try so many cool things all the time. I’m 100% spoiled in that regard, and I don’t ever take it for granted
The BOSS modelers have the least latency.
Congrats man!
\\m// All Hail the Danley \\m//
Ugh, back problems suck. Been there. Hope you feel better soon.
@@tonepilot thanks dude 🙏
I love your channel bro!!! You and Ola are my all time favorites
@@SandraDiaz-g9m thanks dude! Yeah after meeting him and hanging out IRL, I got good vibes like we have very similar tastes and humor and whatnot. BTW if you’re ever curious if he’s a good dude off camera, yes… the best 😂
Any updates on when the Devil ships? Excited to get my hands on it.
I just got the tracking for the pedal shipments to the US yesterday, it's in customs right now. As soon as it gets a delivery date (after it clears customs) I'll update the instagram. They'll start getting packed/shipped from here as soon as I receive them.
Dope! Thank you!
Thanks for all you do, man! Peace! Hope you get to feeling better soon.
@@yippy327 thank you!!! Doing my best to rest 😂
Gear collection: home edition, gear collection : the office edition part something something. Just an idea
@@MorrisChannel4 love it lol
Ha nice
already gone from 69 going to 70 !..!
Woo! Congrats dude
I NEED you to try the Firefly Baritone 30" through some insane rig. Just do it AFTER I buy mine because I don't want them to shoot up in price lol
I hope they make ToneX desktop amp. Like Spark or nux.
Good stuffs😇
After watching your videos since pretty much the beginning, you seem like a good dude man! I hope to see you at NAMM one day! Drop by the ilio booth if you're ever there. \m/
@@krokmiten thanks dude! Yeah you’ve been here since like 4 subs 😂 glad you’re still around 💪 I might go to Namm this year, still undecided!
Gear collection video!!! Really long and detailed
@@marcelohenriquepandion2868 I’m afraid to make this video because I’m pretty sure that’s how it would turn out. Maybe it’s a good idea to have a 3 hour video on the channel, I think UA-cam like that 🤣
Sup
69, NICE
Nice
make a studio tour please
Missed opportunity to have a giveaway to the 69,420th member
😂 man what a fail 🤦♂️
@@TaylorDanley nahhhhh you're doing great. We all appreciate the work you do
I HEAR THAT 💩
beooowwaaaaawoooooopppppfffffffffffftttttttt….. clunk…
mad respect
ps: your description is doubled
THANK YOU. That was actually in my upload defaults, so I'm glad you said something!!
Wait, so you're possibly hiring for a bassist? How would I go about auditioning?
I enjoy your reviews and sound...and actually bought the Ibanez gio because your review a month ago...it's great for price point...but I'm 55..and recently took the leap bought the focusrite 2i2 audio interface package deal and I'm really having a hard time understanding how a daw works...my laptop is 4 years old couldn't use the free one from focusrite but rented a new laptop and tried it...couldn't get it really...i have sound and playing through interface but...could not figure out how to load amp sims or how to use ir's...did download cakewalk...onto mine...trying it so far same thing...any help for simplicity would be really great...is there just an amp simulation I can use to just play different amp modular on my laptop??? I'm old I know....seems sure easier to plug into my 6505ii and mesa traditional 4x12
Yeah it can be a big learning curve. The Amped Roots is a free 5150 plugin that's pretty great. It's also standalone, meaning you can load it up and play through it without having to get into your DAW. Just make sure your latency is low in the settings of the plugin (you'll notice if it's not)
@TaylorDanley thank you appreciate the help
I can see yourself becoming another successful youtuber like ola englund. he started out like you too. Keep it going. I'll love to see you grow.
@@rummansharier8235 I literally can’t stop, even if I wanted to 😂🥳💪 thanks so much for your comment!
LOVE THE DEVIL OVERDRIVE! CANT WAIT TO SEE OBSIDIAN AUDIO ERUPT
@@Geoluhread I hope so champ!!! 💪💪💪
@@TaylorDanley U did great with the branding, my first project was called Obsidiath so its only natural for me to wanna add smth of yours to my collection

Devil pedal + Lichtlaerm Prometheus + ?? = profit!
Nah, that's Daniels thing. I do have some ideas though!
Best power amp pedal $200.oo or lower 😊?
Your videos are great, love watching!! Cheers!
@@SaintDiablo thanks dude! 💪
Would love to see a gear video!
GEAR VIDEO YES
Nice.

@@riffsnoleads so hard to pick just one scene from that movie 😂 the scene where he tells the railroad guy that he’s gonna come into his house at night while he’s sleeping and cut his throat is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever heard 🤣
The Shining is not a good movie. Bad writing, bad acting… I guess the premise was good but they dropped the ball completely after that.
GEAR COLLECTION VIDEO
u welcome
Can you do metal bass guitars
Wait did the title change as I was watching?
@@JackSmith-jn4wq 🤔🤷♂️🥳
Wuddup
Damn, you’re 40? Didn’t realize you’re so close to my age.
PS Sorry about the back - did you lift an amp? Or was it kid stuff?
69... Nice
Nice.
thats mental that you can live off you tube with 69000 subscriptions...mmmmmm
Well luckily you don't get paid based off of how many subscribers you have.
@TaylorDanley so how do you survive from 69000 subs ,, promotions, sponsors,,I'm intrigued by this
@@kramersurfer5280 like I said, subs beyond 1000 don’t really affect how much you make from ad revenue, it’s based off of total views.
I would say my income is probably 33% ad revenue, 33% sponsorships, and the rest is everything else (selling gear on reverb, affiliate links, Patreon, etc)
I don’t think people realize (I didn’t when I started) how much actual work goes on behind the scenes that isn’t related to making videos. That work behind the scenes is really what makes doing UA-cam full time possible. Also consider I’m working 24/7 basically. I’m always on the clock so to speak, but I’m cool with it because I love doing this stuff! 💪🥳
Hope that satisfies your curiosity!
🤘🏽🤘🏽
I just became subscriber 666 on the second channel! lol
Why'd you get fired?
I worry about getting canned a lot at my current job of 7+ years. It's not the 80s anymore...
Apparently, name calling and F-yous will get you fired these days. 😀
@@JacksonAxe so this is a long story, but I’ll try and summarize it here.
I managed a distribution center so I had quite a few employees. I already knew that I needed to plan my exit because I wasn’t happy, and I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to do (still making $0 on UA-cam lol), but I knew if I didn’t start exiting I’d rage quit one day or worse, stay there forever.
So I leveraged my value to the company and hired my replacement. My terms were I’d stay to train them through the holidays, change my salary to an hourly rate, but in return I’d stay on as a social media manager part time after the holidays. Shortly after that holiday season covid happened and everything started to lock down. They told me they couldn’t afford to keep me on, and let me go. Best thing that’s ever happened to me 😂
.
I still talk to the owner sometimes who has asked me if I want to come back, we always had a good relationship, but I’m on my own journey now 🥳
Hey dude. Stop reading comments and put the phone down, put the kids down, and watch a movie with the Mrs. Have a great day dude!
I just got to 69 subscribers also.......just 69....not 69000.......just 69....lol.
