Young musicians are so fortunate to have KZfaq. Back in the 80s when I was learning to play everything was learned by trial and error. You had no idea what controls did, what effects pedals sounded like, or how amps would perform…you just bought something random and messed around with it. If you couldn’t figure it out you would sell it 😂

@rainy5517 5 ай бұрын

Aw man, tbh I can't imagine how hard it must have been learning the guitar in the 80s, especially if you don't have guitarists around you

@YungAirheadOfficial 3 ай бұрын

I knew from the start that KZfaq wasn't gonna be very helpful for me, so I went with the old-school method of trial & error. The result was my dream sound.

First one that actually made sense! Thanks for playing the same brief thing for comparison instead of showing off with lengthy different examples that are hard to compare.

I'll admit it, I'm just a software engineer, and I'm helping out a friend with a Noise Box project (with a piezo pickup) and *I* hadn't a clue of the difference between vibrato and tremolo. So, YES, some people (like me) do need to hear this. Makes perfect sense now! Thanks!

Gain is the amount of volume going into the amp and the output volume coming out to the speaker. Brillant explanation. Thanks.

I bought my first electric guitar very recently and was given a beginner amp. It has less options than the amp you are using, but also several different jacks, so I was completely in the dark. I also had no idea it needed a speaker, and the specific knobs are not labelled, so your explanation has been really helpful for getting me started.

Thanks for the introduction to amps. I started withma small Pro Amp back in th 90s with plug ins for hi and low frequincy gain. I bought Peavy amp in the early 200s that I do not use because I could not understand how to use it. Now I have a PodGo effects board with too many amps and speakers. Great name by the way.

Thank you so much. I just got my guitar yesterday and I was so confused as to why there was no sound coming out of my amp when I strummed the strings. All I has to do was turn the gain up!

@philodonoghue3062 2 жыл бұрын

Primo! Upgraded from Marshall Park 10 Watts practice (/busking?) amp with boost, gain but just treble, ‘contour’ and bass plus volume. Now have my dream amp - Vox AC15 with Celerion speakers. But feel overwhelmed and intimidated by so many settings controls. And got several electric guitars. So I’ve get months of exploring to enjoy. Best video on amps for tyros. Anyone who can squeeze so much clear information into 15 minutes I’m gonna hit Subscribe and Notifications on.

My daughter got interested in guitar. Long story short, she heard "Ride on Shooting Star" and now she wants to play electric guitar. She was given an old Mako TB1. I found an old Magnatone 412 in my uncle's garage, no idea why he had an amp. Anyway, the amp powers up, but needs some TLC before I let her plug in and use it. I'm glad I found this video. Everything I know about amps, I just learned here, lol.
