- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Doug and Pat take a little break from PAF pickup comparisons and bring you Part One of two parts: vintage Obscure Amps which they like a lot and have a bunch of. For an added treat we're giving you the "viewer suggested Non-Waxing On" version. Since they tend to ramble on sometimes they're going to let you, the viewers pull them back just a little, b
ut just this once! Stay tuned for Part Two.
it's your show talk all you want. I personally like the stories and I want to hear your opinions. I like long videos.
drop the edits...love hearing you guys "wax on"! I think it's a big part of what makes your show great....
You got it, we were just checking because next time it'll be worse if that's possible. D&P
The waxing on is part of the reason I tune in!
same here :)
Yeah, I come for the rambling!
This is my favorite show on UA-cam! I only stumbled upon you channel last year and I’m sorry that it took me so long. I hope you keep making more.
This must be your first and last waxed on free zone video. I love the vintage gear and Doug's playing of the gear. I also love you're opinions and stories. I don't care if the video is 40 or 50 minutes long. You two have a wealth of knowledge and it needs to be shared with all of us. Still love what you guys do. I'm always thrilled to see your new videos. Can't wait for part 2.
Part two is here but no edits. We were just joking around with what would be more annoying to our viewers that say we talk too much. That'll learn 'em!
D&P
Ah finally another doug & pat episode, love you guys! That Danelectro sounded really awesome ! Keep rockin guys !
I own a very similar Danelectro amp, but mine came stock from the factory with a 15" speaker! 6L6GC's are the factory-specified tube, but the voltages are fairly low and you can run it safely with 6V6GT'S for a little more snarl and breakup.
Love your show fellas always look forward to them. From across the pond keep robin bro's
My fave is the Ampeg Reverbarocket when you upgrade the speaker Lot of the old ones buzz lol 😁 like my old Supro but most need spk upgrades Sometimes you get lucky My all time favorite was the 1484 STone 6L6 it had some good Jensen's Hit or miss w the old spks
The Premier sounds like Pat said, cheap; trebly and ratty distortion. The Dano sounds really good! I had a similar Teisco in the head version, not bad after it was recapped, etc.
Hello lads. Good to have you back :)
Welcome back guys!!!!!
I used to watch for the guitars, now I watch because of the fashion sense.
The Premier is clearly broken. The fizzy sound, the lack of sustain and the weird, unnatural envelope. I'm guessing one of the coupling caps between the stages is shot and causes the operating point of the following stage to be totally out of whack. Sounds like one of those DIY single transistor fuzz pedals.
The Danelectro on the other hand sounds absolutely amazing.
kardRatzinger Yup the Premier is clearly broken, especially noticeable on the bridge pickup.
Yup. That is the sound of bad filter caps, IME (and possibly speaker too)...That thing will probably sound A LOT better if you have someone go through. And it'll be worth it too!
Doug and his pan flute equipped with PAF's
Great show. I've got an all original (even the tubes) Gretsch '60's combo model 6161 with tremolo. Would love to have you demo one and enlighten us about their history. Thank you.
Doug's such a good player, you don't know if the amp sounds good or if it Doug's amazing fingers that makes it sound good.
I mean most ppeople don't realise that the Rickenbacker frying pan guitar came out in the 30s and the Charlie christian pickup cam out in about 36 and was put into a gibson ES-250 from 1939 onwards.. and there were plenty of amps already around that weren't specifically designed for guitar, but worked with them ready to go around then.
And yes, if you find one of those old amps in an attic, or a garage sale (or doug or pat gives one to you) If it only has a 2 prong plug, I wouldn't even try it out. Get it to a tech and get it properly ground and sorted out because some of those old amps, if they have a malfunction inside, there is a possibility that pure AC will go through your guitar. Plus they can often make them sound better , get more headroom etc, by removing a resistor here, and adding one there etc..
Funny things is that I own a Teisco Del Ray ET-220 guitar and it still works. It has its own distinctive sound. Just need a little work on the neck than its perfect. Peace, Flood!
I keep coming back for the Danelectro .... I just keep coming back
The coats nice. I love the show. Made it to the Songbirds guitar museum in Chattanooga TN ? Where did that beanie come from? I need one???
wiring codes were too safe back then....guys got electrocuted at times with the cable being grounded to the chassis..then juice coming up through it into your hands....so if you get one have it checked out
Be careful at 10:52 ... Daniel's son claims he came up with a way to drive push-pull circuits without an "input transformer" (a phase-inverting transformer). So the actual claim is the development of a tube-base phase inverter.
Which is why we credit the source of the information because we can't know for sure. It's fun to get the conversation going just like this though. D&P

Damn the non-wax, I wanted to hear the follow up to what type of flute Doug plays!
Two student Yamaha's and an old open hole Emerson with gold plated embouchure plate and low B. Don't get him going now. D&P
Hi guys, great video as usual ! You probably get asked this a lot, but what gear are you using to record : camera, microphones, soundcard/preamps and stuff like that, DAW ? Thanks !
I wish you guys would give detailed info regarding the intro and outro song, "Chasing Oscar". Details such as guitars setup, any pedals or amp effects used, etc...
*sorry - "Missing Les".
The editing was really distracting. I feel the constant jump cuts really take away from the feel of the show. Especially that record scratch sound. Otherwise another great video filled with interesting info.
Agree with iiPotatoes, trying to fix something that aint broke...DON'T PICK AT IT CAPISCE!
Doug and Pat, have you guys ever tried the Laney lionheart l20 amplifier?
❤️
Danelectro rulezzz!!!
You guys need to check out the Guitaroligist channel , that guy can bring anything to life. I am sure you would get a lot of kicks out of his remodeling old radios into amps/preamps
Who says they ramble too much?
Talking a lot is a sign of health
Its the gravy on thw chicken
It helsp you digest
W o it u get constipated or poo weird
Talking rules
Gimme wax!
Lose the needle scratch sound efx on the video edits please. Nice to hear some of
the old skool amps. Premier sounds "ballsy" with the bare knuckles. The danelectro
sounds nice with a jazzy tone from those alnico speakers. The Teisco sounds a lot
like the old Gibson amps.
Great video as always, guys, but ugh! I hate to say it, but that microphone used for miking the amps sounds terrible. I've heard some of the recordings in recent videos, and the sound in this video in particular doesn't sound very good. :( It just sounds wooly, distorted and choked out, and it has an odd scratchy/buzzy sound when notes are picked. It's just odd, and the tone of the amps just doesn't come through. I'd love to hear some room miked recordings instead. Oh, and I'd also have to agree, the needle scratching was a bit much after 3-4 times. Could do without. Beyond that, it was nice to see you bring some attention to some of these budget amps from the "golden era". Some of them were pretty good. Anyway, thanks for another good video. Cheers. :)
We used the same AT 4040 that we've used on the last dozen or so shows including the first one. We think this microphone is pretty realistic and it just might be that after hearing the Vox AC10 SRT nothing sounds like that. Maybe. D&P
I've noticed it on the last few videos, including the AC10 SRT. It's a scratchiness/wooliness that was never there before. Cheers.
danelectro and I are the same age 59 was a good year for cars guitars and Iowa clodhoppers
Hey, you guys forgot Line 6
They are into amps.. as mick taylor says.. they are not into Amp Shaped Objects.
What song is 19:57 ? I just can't remember!
"Bus Stop" by The Hollies, very catchy. D&P
Guys, seriously, drop the needle scratch sound.
Done! D&P
Nice Amps, Guys!
Ugghh, that scratching sound wih the edits is killing me. Sorry I couldn't watch the show.
Er keep rokin that is 😜😂😂
Teisco wins
yukk ...
just as gutless as my Guild Thunder 1
