My Tone Journey Is Over
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- So after a few years of getting to this point I am finally at a point where I know more of what I want from my main guitar and setup. I am mainly a Strat guy - plus some other Delta-inspired blues - and I love this guitar with some Jimi Hendrix-influenced sounds... wah-wah, univibe, fuzz and massive tones!
In this one I'm using
Bartel Starwood
Isle of Tone Haze 67 Fuzz
R Weaver FX Midnight Vibe
Xotic Wah
Great Eastern FX Design-a-Drive
Thanks for watching!

Love this set up! What pedal order do you prefer for this type of rig?
Clean octave > fuzz > wah > double od > delay.
Ah yes i need to fit my octave and delay on the board - will try this order 🤟🏼
@@JamesOnGuitar oh I forgot the vibe between the wah and the od.
@@JamesOnGuitar I have boss fuzz - JAM wah - JAM Vibe - Origin Effects Klon - Boss Waza Bluesdriver - Origin Compressor - Flanger.
I really recommend you trying the origin compressor - it adds so much sustain and thickness, but retains dynamics with the blend knob.
I definitely concur with the order of fuzz, then vibe, then wah.
Sounds amazing. I disagree with the premise of a tone journey being finite. Even the best musicians will continue to evolve, tweak, innovate, expand, etc. It's never over.
Amazing playing and tones!
Nice work can't wait to hear all of this with the Les Paul too !! Cheers
Funky as hell! Love it!
Cool video. I'm not even much of an effects guy but these are still so fun to watch. That wah does sound sweet.
Your playing has come on really nicely man. Sounding great!
wow... absoluely most amazing strat vibe tone on youtube that i have heard , that masterbuilt strat has some magic goin on ... thx for sharing 🎉
That’s such a cool vintage sound and your playing really shines through it.
I’ve never owned a Wah nor vibe, besides the faux wah of my UA Astra, but this has me wanting…
Get well soon. I just got over a bad cold on vacation. Fun…
What a fantastic video have you enjoyed playing guitar James have a good weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Then one day you wake up and start playing it and it just doesn't sound right all of a sudden... You turn some knobs, you swap one pedal try a different amp... And the whole quest starts again😂
ya man especially this dude... i dont even know how he progresses on the guitar or can actually get to know a piece of gear the way he has this carousel of gear always going on
@@Bob-Sacamano314 our mate clearly has money, so I assume he can afford any teacher if he wants to.
I understand his carousel of gear pretty well - it is a feeling of a kid in a toy shop if you can afford it all. And it reduces stress (the feeling of accomplishment and happiness hormones do the trick).
@@RealROCKnROLLA ohh hey listen hes got the money go for it, power to him not hating... id just be curious to know his opinion of knowing 1 rig inside and out vs kinda knowing 15 guitars and 28 amps...
I like the idea of Guitar straight into Amp. Job done. Damn ! As much as I don't want to, it looks like I need to buy some effects pedals. Thanks James. 🤔 £ £ £
Been pretty cool to watch you become very proficient in the style of Hendrix while making it your own thing!
Any UA-cam sources you found especially helpful in your progress?
Strat and a low transparent overdrive, boost, tube screamer style pedal, and a compression pedal. Thats all i would need brotha,, well... a wah too. Lol
Man that fuzz + wah combo is THE sound isnt it? I wonder if there are other fuzzes that can get close because $1000 usd for a fuzz pedal is pretty mental.
I dont no why but i see something floating around your face about 25.40 on the timeline maybe Jimi is checking you out or there some smoke from something 😂 great playing by the way
It's never over.
Good stuff. I think the biggest contributor to your growth as a guitar player has been the time you’ve devoted to improving-obvious, I know. But I also think there’s something to be said for the impact of great gear; I have a cheap Blackstar amp and a Squier that chokes out above the 12th fret, but I never play them because they just don’t sound good. I play the best gear I have because it sounds better.
fuzz-Vibe-wha and less reverb on the amp would probably nailed it!
awesome tones, would love to see the finished pedalboard ;D
for me it would be Fuzz >Wah> vibe> od>amp
Hi Great gear...It looked to me on camera anyway that a problem I have had with strats,,both E strings looked like they were hanging off the fretboard higher up...is that how they are???I've played plenty with this problem pulling the low E in...but it drove me crazy//Thanks James ...Dave
i know the exact part of Rainy Day Dream Away that you mean! also the very beginning of Still Raining Still Dreaming has the same wah tone for a bit longer, it sounds like the guitar is talking but i've never figured out exactly what its saying lol
The journey is NEVER over....ever.
Don't kid yourself.
Until next week
Have you ever tried a silver sky? I wouldn't be able to name a single John Mayer song, but I really love my silver sky! I've been looking for my "forever" strat and I know this is it. I've been looking for over a decade. Vintage feel with modern reliability.
+1 for silver sky - great guitar, absolutely love mine
They sound sterile to me
@@cliffhanger8170 silver sky had undergone a pickup change in 2021. And if it's sterile, then John's Fender Masterbuilt is sterile, too. Because these pups are modelled after it.
@@RealROCKnROLLAEvery guitar can be unique and PRS can have this “sterile” way with people anyway. I have core, WL & Private Stock. I do like them very much but also totally get why many don’t gel with PRS. PRS wiring doesn’t do them any favours in my opinion. I’ve had Matt at Monty’s work on all
my PRS’s for 50’s wiring to open up the tone a little and get the guitars output less middy/compressed and get some more texture to the PRS tone. I swear the PRS pickups have more to give than they come out of the factory due to the companies particular wiring techniques. My Lunar Ice Silver Sky was too mid range heavy and to be honest most of the SS’s I have tried never really sounded or vibed like a Fender CS Strat to me. I preferred the maple neck variant of the Silver Sky but ultimately I let go of it as I much preferred the gritty slightly scooped nature of my Fenders. We often like different things and sometimes one guitar can sound like a dog in one persons hands and a marvel to the next. 🤷♂️
@@RealROCKnROLLA Yes, mine is from 23 and you can see it as well. They surprisingly added a capacitor on each pickup. Sounds wonderful.
But most of all, it plays wonderful. No string tree needed because of the 3x3 tilt back, but it can still lay flat on the ground. No wobbly tremolo arm, always goes back to pitch perfectly, despite doing a lot of the extreme Hendrix dive bombs. And I love that it's nitro. Feels great and will age more graceful
@JamesOnGuitar the raw vintage springs. Do you put all 5 or 4 in? Do you need to do anything else or just put them in.
They recommend all 5 and they are a bit looser than other springs so i found that is what works for me. You might need to screw the claw in a little to get you where you want
@@JamesOnGuitar so you put them even in new fenders?
@@AnthonyEvans-wl5ts oh yeah definitely - both my mexican made vintera, 2 masterbuilt custom shops and others. Then it turned out a lot of people whose sound i like have done the same
@@JamesOnGuitar wicked thanks mate. Loving all your content at the moment.
@@JamesOnGuitari got the springs, but the guitar shop was asking do you have the trem flat to the body or up so you can use the tremolo arm? Where do you set it up?
wah wah - so old fashioned!
😂
Do some shrooms to sound more like Hendrix bro 😎
Cmon say
In life stay away from eating the most shitas humanly possible.
I am curious what is the total cost for guitar and upgrades, effects, cables, and amp? =?
Just the amp and the guitar goes possibly beyond 10k 😅 for the pedals i figure its 300+ each pedals. Those arent cheap ones
@@alexandrefalardeau9976 definitely not a cheap endeavor.✌️
@@ericskinner7355 definitely not but the sounds are stellar 🤩 and not everything is about the $ especially when its your passion..if i counted my investment in my hobby i would probably need to see a peychologist 🙈🤣
Guitar circa £8k. Amp circa £5k
Next step: enjoy it playing live!
Yep.. great combo but a lot of kidneys too🎉❤
When someone says their tone journey is over, they are about to sell a bunch of gear and buy new 😂.
It was almost the opposite this time... I just stuck with what I have for the most part! But I know what you mean generally... been there before, that's for sure!
Did you know you could sound more like Hendrix if you were Hendrix? Jus’ sayin’ 😂
Good sounds, yet Strats bore me to death.
Joni Hendrix had good tone
