So far, anyway 🤞🙂. It’s a very versatile little amp, but sounds like there may well by QC issues. By the way, have you ever tried any Victory amps?

I’m a Miami native… you neglected to say that Walt Grace vintage is located in the Wynwood section of Miami Florida. 300 NW 26th St, Miami, FL 33127 … Wynwood is also noted for having fantastic Graffiti art and murals all over the neighborhood. “Wynwood Walls” is a must see! I saw your original episode about Walt Grace and it was excellent. Your viewers really need to look it up and enjoy it! I just stumbled over Walt Grace when I was in the area and I was amazed… beautiful cars and guitars!

2022 seemed to be a blur!!!! Thank you Shane for all your hard work producing (and of course Rhyannon for being a great cameraman 😊). Along with the big named brands that we all love to love and hate, I enjoy when you present lesser known brands,whether its pedals, or a guitar. I recently purchased an absolutely amazing pedal by Sabbadius, the Filmore East Funky Vibe and it is everything I love in boutique gear!! Like Missing Link Audio or Caline, I find that these are the pedals I enjoy playing through and keep wanting to play more. As we get closer to another year, hopefully we can celebrate this channel going way over 200k subscribers!! You do amazing work here Shane and I definitely want to thank you for everything you do!!! Cheers mate, and to another great year!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸😎😎😎🤙🏾

Great video, so many interesting products and so much useful info - thanks so much for putting in all the work that I'm sure making this video required - very professional, well paced, and fun to watch - plus lots of new and interesting information for me to digest! I agree 100% about the underwhelming neck pickup on the 40th Anniversary Squier Telecaster Gold Edition - it really is puzzling how such a well-finished, beautiful and comfortable guitar could include such a muddy and weak neck pickup. As you mentioned, the bridge pickup is very nice. I ended up selling mine (black & gold version), because, although it cost $600, it didn't sound nearly as good as my $150 Squier Bullet Telecaster! Also thanks for recommending the PAL800-V3 GOLD Overdrive pedal. I did not know aboutthis one, but I'm going to get one, based on your recommendation.

@senseiruss Жыл бұрын
@@shuster1921 What don’t you get? Sure, it’s an easy pickup change, but paying for a superior pickup isn't easy, at least not for everyone. And changing a pickup doesn’t explain how Fender could choose to put such an underwhelming neck pickup in a special edition guitar that they produced that is their most expensive Squier model. Nor why the neck pickup on their $150 Squier Bullet Telecaster is far superior.

The Silver jubilee has always been such a divisive amp, I never understood it, i think a lot of it was the clipping diodes. People thought it was like a distortion pedal going into the front when the reality is that it's really nothing like that. It's deeper in the circuit and really only comes on when you turn the gain past a certain point, and it results in more gain without the same compression increase. I've been building and servicing amps for 15 years and the Jubilee has been by favorite marshall ever. It's the first one I plugged into, hit an open-A chord and it sounded exactly like you'd think a Marshall should. Usually you have to crank the volume and dial it in, and even then it's just not what you expect, especially with something like a super lead that you need to get to punishingly loud volumes to get there.
@mightyalbert1470 11 ай бұрын
It’s my personal opinion that the epiphone casino isn’t subpar to the 335 it’s somewhat on the same level and can punch way above its weight in gain. Feedback is the only ‘downside’ but if you wanted to buy a casino you would’ve already known that. Both guitars are legendary in their own right and the main reason so many bands and musicians make use of them 🎸
