The little aeromancy jam was golden.

I have this feeling that going to a live show after all this is going to feel kinda like going to a concert for the first time.

My band Saving Darkness has first gig in a year and a half next week! We did finish our second album and start our third, really excited to do what us musicians were made to do again!!

Crazy coincidence. Worked a temp job last December and bought the 100w katana combo, foot switch and just recently my dad bought me a vintera 60s Stratocaster as a gift for me quitting smoking. Bring on the gigs

Love it when Rob's having so much fun noodling while simultaneously guiding us all back to the live on-stage world where we really love to be. Cheers, sideman

Absolute gold from the wise man himself. Thanks Rob

Nice video. It’s great that you explained about how most small venues nowadays have decent PA systems and mic everything, so having a 100w amp is more because it’s just nice to have rather than essential. So many “gigging rig” videos on KZfaq tell young players they have to have a big rig to play pubs with, so as to be heard. Really good, honest advice here. I work as a lighting tech on large scale shows and events (outside of lockdown) and the amount of empty Marshall cabinets the backline crew load in every day just for ‘eye candy’ is amazing. I’ve even had to put fairy lights in the fake heads before, just so it looks like the valves are glowing! So many pro bands now use modelling stuff tucked away behind the walls of speakers. It’s good to see you championing it.

I needed that Aeromancy Jam, thanks Rob!

Many thumbs up to Chapman for continuing to support the smaller KZfaqrs. Just have to have a lil browse around KZfaq to see the love in the guitar community

Those tasty Dorje riffs are great man! Give Rob some thumbs up👍🤘🏻

Great video as always Rob !!! 👏👏👏

Awesome to see Chappers back in action and making guitar videos again; brings me back to being a teen where I’d watch hours of this stuff

Great stuff Rob, For me a Larry Carlton and a small valve amp, some pedals . and a very good plectrum :) cheers rock on! Rob On! Greatingzz from Belgium . Good MoJo .

LOVE LOVE the neck on the hybrd standerd

Those ml1 hybrids are so cool, and the neck roasting is next level. Awesome guitars

Until I got a car accident, this is what I could fit in my Hyundai i20: • Me & my bandmate (epic 2-men band) ; • A whole drum set (22x18" & 2 toms, snare, drum throne, hardware and cymbals) ; • Two guitars & a pedalboard ; • A Victory 2x12" with a small Mesa Mark 25 head ; • A Trace Elliot 2x10" with a matching Trace Elliot AH600-12 head. I have tremendous memories from driving around with him & all of that stuff!! By the way, the band is called Let It Kill You and no, we don't really play jazz or pop as you may have guessed!!!

Of course I've liked, subscribed, and hit the bell, Rob! Why on earth would I not have already. lol

Seeing you play Aeromancy after all this time was really special 😭👌

Great video Rob. I use my trusty Boss Katana Artist on every gig. The Katana amps are very solid and have a great tone. I highly recommend them.

I grinned at my plague pedal collection. Only the fuzz face smiled back.

Top video Chappers! Victor...

I'm currently using the Yamaha thr10x, love it..🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

Don't know what a estate car is but here in America, Back in the 90's. i used to roadie for my former friends local metal band, and we had to fit 1 peavey VTM 120 Guitar head, 1 Crate GS150 1x12 combo with 12' Electrovoice Speaker, and depending at the time between 1990-1994 either 2 Carvin 4x12 speaker cabinets, 1 Carvin 4x12 and 1 Laney 4x12 speaker cabinet or 1 Carvin 4x12, 1 Peavey VTM 4x12 Speaker Cabinet, With drums consisting of 1 bass drum, 2 toms which where Tama Brand Drums, hi hats, 3 cymbal stands and cymbals, drum seat, And a Peavey Combo 1x15 bass amp, Don't remember the name of it, it's been along time the drums, bass amp and guitars were in the trunk of a old i believe it was a 78 Oldsmobile Maroon Cutlass supreme 2 door car. for quite a few gigs. until started using my parents, mercury station wagon, old chevy pickup with no power steering, I believe another vehicle as well. but i can not remember what it was but those were in 93/94 right before i had a falling out with those former friends and i quite being their unpaid roadie which i was their producer as well because they would bounce ideas for original songs and i would suggest double track this part, add a blues solo here, downtune this song, etc. But we had a falling out and went our separate ways. they broke up in 96 do to my former best friend and the rhythm and lead vocals of the band had a injury at work which got his 3 fingers of his picking hand cut off in those machines that cut rubber mats. i wont go into detail what happened there but the band broke up but that was way after i quite and had no more to do with them. So how big is an estate car. Go google Oldsmobile 78 Cutlass Supreme 2 door to see if it is as big or smaller than your Estate car.

Awesome rhythm riffage

Lovely guitar - I am about to upgrade from a Bullet Strat (I did not know if i would stick with learning and didn't want to spend much to start) and I am pretty sure I am going down the Chapman route, I was intending on getting the V2 ML1 Modern in Black Blood Red. I am looking at playing (or attempting) rock and metal, however those roasted maple necks on the Hydrid are sweet and I could be tempted on one of those. Great content as always, and bring on the live music.

Nice 👍 I have a katana, i have an ml3 bea standard (i changed pickups for Sh4 / lil 59), and its very nice setup (in neural dsp soldano too 🤘).

Make your own pedal train from wood and buy some 3m duel lock. Works great

really wish I could make to to the festival, really digging Clockwork wolf & Company. I'll have to wait for the tour...

i think ima cop one of those awesome guitars

You know what? Lockdown has been easier by sitting with a beer at the weekend, and listening to Rob noodle. You really are one of my biggest influences, and I’ve played for 25 years! I’ve been trying to talk myself out of getting a Chapman guitar as I’ve no room. But they’re so versatile that I don’t think I can afford not to have one. I’m thinking the ML3 Storm Burst. Love that guitar!

I personally rock a home built clapton strat partscaster through a slo100 modified jet city 50c. Does the clean thing bluesy thing pretty well, and does 80’s clapton incredibly well. I also run my 335 through it and it’s a great rock/blues rig for that too

Sounds great! Need that Katana Liveset ✌🏻✌🏻

Hello Rob, I put my atention in the beautifull Orange Guitar that you show, It's really very very beautifull Guitar. I need to get one of these

I would also say that the Fender Mustang GTX 100 is also an exceptionally good digital amp that's the same price and comes with a footswitch also, if that is more your style. Rob and the Captain have a video comparing the two on the Andertons channel that is really good and informative. Awesome video Rob sick licks as usual, loving the hybrid but I'm started to eye up the Black Sandblasted ML1 Pro it's a sexy beast!

I just bought a Hot Blue Chapman ML3 Pro I’m not part of the Chapman family! Might be joining a band here soon and also just ordered Katana mk2 50w 😁

Yes. I actually did aquire a plague pedal colection.

Damn really great guitars ,love it ..nice tops very versatile ...roasted neck uuuh! Amazing here are in the range of 600 to 700 usd

always see your videos just to see you play and eating delicious lol ))

Great rundown Rob, Thanks! Any chance you will be touring Canada ( eh?) In the not too distant future? Would love 2 go and see you guys!

That's the rig I would have chosen!

My band “Certain Villains” have our first gig for 16 months this Sunday! Time to knock off the rustiness

Thanks Alot Rob.. Now I have to buy one of those Chapman Guitars.. I actually was going to buy an American Fender Stratocaster but with what you have just said, I feel I am getting a better Guitar with more features for a lot less money than the Fender if i go with that Particular guitar that you just showed us.. The Pickups don't seem like a one trick pony like the Fender.. I think the knobs and pickup selector switch is in a way better spot also.. All that with a Flamed top, Rolled fingerboard and 18:1 tuners.. I am Super Glad that you took the time to mention the Features of this Guitar.. Rob, You are for sure the best Guitar Salesman on the entire Internet.. Stop Selling me things..LOL!!! Just kidding, I love that you take the time to explain exactly what you are getting with your Guitars.. None of the big Name companies do that with the owners presenting the product.. This adds a nice Personal touch and shows that you believe in your Product.. We can all tell by how you are genuinely so excited to show us. I would rather my money go to a few faces that I am familiar that have given me so much knowledge over the years.. Thank You Mr. Chapman once again

3.45 “I’ve got a clean sound that I will never use” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Drums, PA, 2 complete 2x12 guitar rigs, bass rig, mixing desk, mics, stands, sundries and clothes in a Citroen Jumpy van (6m3 in fairness). But only 3 seats up front, and 5 dudes in the band! It's difficult to relax with a cymbal stand poking you in the arse for an hour and a half on the motorway.

Origin 50c going for £499 clearance at Andertons, small cheap pedalboard (tuner, SD-1, tc electronic prophet delay and skysurfer reverb put it on a duck board) and a Pacifica 311h, if you already have a board built go with the chapman hybrid and the amp get a good strap (and strap locks) and a good gig bag or case.

Go back to the UK! I miss you making videos with your friends! :(

That's the one everything you need

Its all great except for the headstock. I know, I'm being picky. Is it just me?

Fitted an entire drum kit, guitar & bass amp & several guitars/basses and 3 of us in a Rover Metro before (we were so heavy the exhaust dragged)

live is gonna come back!

can you do a guitar buying gide of under 2 grand

When you first turned around to point at your amp of choice, I thought you were moving towards the Dual Rec. Nearly spit out my coffee.

for me , line 6 hx effects , bluguitar amp 1 iridium with bluebox, some drive pedal and drop pedal

Nice axe!

«They might wanna reach out, get some friends..» Yeah, would love some friends😂

I have been buying guitars all plaque. The Katana has been serving me well.

Love your guitar in blue 😁 do you have shops selling them in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 or can we order online direct??

Hi Rob, Question: I've got 30 years worth of pedals, but of course with my addiction to tone comes the curiosity about MORE GEAR! I've been impressed with your reccos of the Katana, and the Bassbreakers (back with the Captain). I want a low watt amp for recording that can get that classic Mick Taylor 1972 live sound... touch sensitive sustain into feedback. Would either of those deliver? Cheers and thanks for all you do.

Sorry for this block of text, but I need a community input on a few things: I'm looking to get into guitar playing. I'm a complete beginner, but I have handled a few guitars and I did own an Epiphone SG for a while way back when I didn't know what I was doing and I sold it because I just wasn't using it. SO, my question is: I want to start learning properly and maybe getting lessons, and I love me some blues (Alvin Lee, Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher,...) and I've been seriously considering getting a PRS SE Custom 24 whale blue LIMITED as it fits my budget neatly, looks stunning and is a LOT of guitar for the money (or so I hear). But I've also been considering a Chapman somewhere in that price range, and from what I've read on the internet and saw on youtube they are insane value for money. One of the guitars I've also started to consider is a Fender Dave Murray signature. I don't like single cut shapes very much and I don't really like the Les Paul, but I appreciate the amazing sound it produces (Gary Moore). I'm only looking to learn playing, I won't be gigging. Thanks

Hey rob would love to see you review the fender champion 50xl

IT WHILLL MOTT MOVE SIR

Long way from playing live...but....G&L ASAT Classic through a Marshall Origin 20....Pedaltrain with Polytune/TC Hall of Fame Reverb and the Black Box overdrive...oh yeah...cheap Klon clone that sounds like a cheap Klon clone....big fun.

👌

Watching now!!!!! ;-)

Curious as to: Hard case/ Gig bag / just hugging the guitar continuously.? (The last seems like it may be a pit impractical)

I'm a few days late to this video, but if I were going to put together a live rig for under $1100, this is what I would use: Boss Katana or Harley Benton 15 watt combo Squire HSS Strat Pedals: Boss tuner, MXR Bad Ass Distortion, Donner Octa fuzz, Nux Chorus and Nux delay

my setup is a deluxe reverb: Channel 1 Vocals, Channel 2 Guitar... works perfect. And yeah... soundmen do hate me big time.

Expression pedal with the Katana.

He mentioned baked maple neck, is that the same as roasted term used by other companies are they two different things?

Love the Hybrid thanks for the High gain Mic at the bottom

I got you all beat ... fit a whole drum kit and band in a hatchback ... luckily it was a trio

Or you could go to a used market. If you've been playing for a year you are not a novice anymore and for 1k credits you can get a nice tube combo or head+cab, clip on headstock tuner, a nice midrange guitar and still have some money left for pedals, power supply and a beverage of your choosing. Chapmans are expensive for what they are, you can get the same for less or a bit better for the same money

I’m not entirely sure the conversion rates but in Australia I’d imagine that’s about $2k ..... small black star tube amp ... some mi audio pedals and a g & l fiddle ....

Live shows are already back on for us, and I am all in. Plus, I even got invited to a songwriters club. I get the vaccine on Saturday. After that, I am full-on jumping in on playing as many live shows as I possibly can get! About time, too!

Epiphone 50s les paul or G&L Comanche tribute and a Marshall origin20c works for me

Managed to fit a drum kit and a 4x12 in a Fiat Punto.

If this was my budget I would probably go for secondhand gear

Dammit... now I need to buy a Chapman guitar...

I'd love to get rebea pro guitar and my bad I did see the new Chapman's on guitar center site idk why but they not on musicians friend which I usually shop there and guitar center owns them so idk

Hell yes. I wish I could get one. I hate hauling my half stack around on tours. I've wanted to go down to a 2x12 for a long time. I just posted a necrophagist cover if you are bored check it out rob! You duh man!

God I need a Chapman

Woww i want it please kemper

Greeeeeeetings Rob, Can you do a lefty guitar give away? A global one??

Sadly, I do not have a collection of plague pedals. The pressing responsibilities of owning a house with a middling job.

I literally knew everything he'd pick minus the pedalboard (it's a convenience, not a necessity) before watching and I really don't know what to make of that fact. Edit: to switcharooie, not that there was anything at all wrong with your rig, I'm ditching the pedalboard for a plank of wood. I'll go with a DSL20 combo which gives me some valve juicyness at the sacrifice of diversity (£400 w/footswitch). That Ibanez arch top 7 string andertons have at £410 because it looks cool and has 7 strings, we'll say £20 to cover cables, a strap and my plank of wood/pedalboard which leaves me with £95 after a boss TU3 so I'll buy a boss super chorus too which leaves me a fiver for a pint at the venue.

I never got the "can it gig" questions on amplifiers. Like you said 99% of cases youre miced. Wattage and amount of speakers doesnt really matter as long as it isnt a 10w 6" practise amp. I guess 4x12s are just a relict of the era where the amp carried all the sound. And nowadays nobody wants to carry them. Miced up 1x12 or some digital di stuff will make the cut.

Hi all. Can you please tell me what is wrong with this guy Rob Chapman there are lots of negative comments on Web also this particular video has 40 thumb down already . I'm fed up with vintage guitars I was always looking for stratocasters but non of them never bounded with me due to the playability, 7.25 radius volume knob on the way ect... as I love single coil neck pickup sounds I find these ml1 could be a a great choice for me as a contemporary version of the original stratocaster design. I haven't purchased yet but I'm looking for encouragement to buy a ml1 pro hybrid. What do you think people...

I would go with a Squier Classic Vibe and a Fender Champion XL100...much better guitar and a much better amp, in my opinion! and yes I have a plague pedal collection..lol

The katana sounds like a shrill mess turned up

How you lock down this trem???? Make a video on that

I'm wondering a little why Thomann is selling lefty Chapmans but Andertons isn't.

I'm more a pro choice kinda guy ;)

Lol I thought the rig assumed one already had a guitar!

Still here

I made a pedal train out of an alloy window sill

I'll admit, I saw the thumbnail and thought "Rectifier + rig for under 1000?"

100 w katana n thats it.

The more i Mature .......the cleaner i play!

Happy National Guitar Day

I'm American, I have no idea what an "estate car" is.
