After the video went up Yamaha sent a email confirming it is a passive boost and they said this Yamaha's responce “The output is amplified by using a small transformer to emphasize or boost the mid and low frequencies. The transformer was designed by Yamaha guitar division to control how much emphasize or boost certain frequencies by adjusting the number of coil turns”

Awesome . I played one at a mom n pop music shop. . incredible ..it was the pro model someone traded in ..I couldn't believe why would anyone get rid of it...you can just feel the quality ... until they said it was some teen... Really liked it These guitars are awesome .and I don't understand why guitar center in Sam Ash don't have these it doesn't make sense what is Yamaha missing man they need these guitars in these stores so people can see the quality feel the quality play it and buy them

You don’t normally see Phil smile when playing while doing a demo. So even with the rigorous overview and checks he did on this guitar, that rare smile tells us all we need to know. Also I’ve never heard him stop to say “that’s fricken awesome” in the middle of playing. At the end he said he doesn’t like to rave but he did actually let that slip a bit. 🤣 The sheer quality and intelligent innovation that went into this guitar 🎸 is definitely worth the low price of $799.00 for admission. These things are on back order everywhere you look for a damn good reason. As soon as I see a new one available, I’ll jump on this in a heartbeat!

With a transformer turns ratio of 1:2, that will indeed double the voltage driving the amp, which is also 6 dB. However, that comes at a price. The load impedance seen by the guitar pickups decreases 4-fold. If the amplifier has a 1 Meg input impedance, that now looks like 250k which will dampen the resonance of the pickups. Further, the cable capacitance will be multiplied by 4. For example, a 10 foot cable with 300 pF of capacitance will look like 1200 pF to the pickups with the boost on. Both of these factors will darken the tone by suppressing high frequencies.
@lonerjuan 2 жыл бұрын
Shouldn't the parasitic capacitance become 75pF instead of 1200pF?
@fenderbass0 2 жыл бұрын
@@lonerjuan Impedance seen by the pickups goes down by the turns ratio squared, or factor of 4. Impedance of the capacitor is calculated as inverse in frequency and capacitance -- 1/(2pi*f*C). Therefore the equivalent capacitance is multiplied by 4.

I played one today in a shop. It was absolutely superb. Maybe the best set-up electric guitar I've ever tried. The neck, fingerboard, fretting, intonation and playability were utter perfection. I didn't know about the 'boost' function, so never tried that. The only bit I didn't like all that much, was the position of the jack socket, which was a bit clunky when trying to adjust things, and altering one's playing position [I usually play, seated]. I always prefer front mounted sockets, like a 335, or especially, a Strat. Altogether, an exceptionally well built and great sounding and playing guitar.

The transformer reminds me of the Epiphone Jack Cassidy bass, I've been wondering for a long time why nobody had put one in a guitar, but here we are :) This is the kind of innovation I like to see. More companies shouldn't be afraid to make passive guitar circuit changes. Very glad you reviewed this one Phil! I always trust KYG reviews since they are always geared towards viewers/consumers rather than reciting the same kind of bullet points the brand seems to want to push in their marketing campaign. I've seen so many positive reviews on YT of this guitar which I take with a grain of salt, but when I see KYG has a positive review, I know it's credible. Keep up the good work Phil.

On top of that just bought a Yamaha YC88 keyboard. Again great bang for the buck and the build quality is excellent. That board came from Indo (I thought it might be a Japan build) like the low and mid tier Revstars. Indonesia seem to be doing some really great work on building musical instruments for several brands. And now I’m sounding like a Yamaha fan boi which may actually be true. Not intentional but they are making some really great instruments at all price points.

Great review. People are sleeping on Yahama. Their build quality is incredible. I just bought a Pacifica 611 and I love it. It's like a custom shop guitar for roughly $700: alder or maple body, maple neck, Seymour Duncan pickups, Wilkinson bridge, Grover locking tuners and the tone switch converts the bridge humbucker to a single coil. I've never owned a guitar with P90s in them but the neck Seymour Duncan P90 sounds amazing. The frets on the 611 are high quality too.

Hi Phillip, I own a previous generation Revstar RS502T with P90's and it is without doubt one of the best, most versatile guitars I have ever played and owned. The build quality and playability are superb and I highly recommend these guitars to all - try them!😎🤘👍

Just saw the ad today for this guitar and they offer this guitar left handed. I’m definitely buying soon in Blue . The mid-range model LH. Thank you for the demo.

Great review Phillip. In fact, all your reviews are well done and provide more details that are appreciated. I like everything about this guitar except for the body shape and colors. Otherwise I'd be glad to own and play one.

Phil, I'm hoping you can take a look at the P90 version as well. Thanks so much!

I have one of the earlier RevStar RS502's with p90s. It's a great guitar but when I saw the new Rev. Stars with stainless steel frets and the vintage looking tuners and the new circuitry, I immediately got online and ordered one. Getting the swift blue just like your demoing. Freaking awesome guitars!
