That Epiphone Les Paul costs more than the entire rig I gigged with for 5+ years. Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster ($299 at the time), Vox Pathfinder 15R ($149), Digitech Bad Monkey ($49) and a Mooer Shimverb ($45). Played small clubs and bars with that setup for years.

it's funny for me to watch gearheads try and pick out "cheap" equipment. Admittedly the total being under 2k for a whole rig isn't bad. But I've played gigs with a combo amp and 0 pedals. Not really going to impress anybody with your gear but it works. I also would say, in the kind of setting they are describing, that a cab is not the end of your sound at all. Especially since they're talking about smaller cabs being miked and all, now you're being affected by mic placement, the mic itself, whatever the sound guy is doing on the board (if it isn't your own guy), and the whole mains and the room and all that. But the cab would be the last bit you have direct control over probably. I've also played plenty of gigs where we were outdoors with very little sound system to speak of, or just plain not enough channels on the board for our setup, so we've had to decide between things like having enough vocal or drum mics or just cranking the amps or whatever.

The smaller heads & cabs today are a godsend, but the choices are overwhelming. This was a huge help, gents. Thank you & happy new year! P.S. Exactly … Boss Pedals worked for Prince & Steve Vai. Gear-snobs are usually mediocre-players, I’ve found.

I still do the rock/metal/punk gig with 100w heads because they are barely breathing at stage volume...and there is less noise and feedback overall. I have a loud drummer that makes 100w solid state amps inaudible, and small wattage tube amps push so hard they become unusable and thin. It all depends on your gigging situation for sure. When I play with my church gigs is where low wattage is king.

@Magmoormaster 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly I was expecting a Boss Katana 50 or something for the amp choice. Kinda nice to see something different. That said, I would go with an Invective MH over the 5150 LBX, as it's only a little more expensive and comes with the noise gate and boost built in. Not to mention it has a much better clean. Also, as someone whose boost pedal of choice is an MWK Crissaegrim, of which only 11 have been made to my knowledge, I feel attacked by some of your comments lol

@themightymcb7310 2 жыл бұрын

I'd actually argue that the 6505 MH is a better choice because it's both cheaper and it still cuts out a pedal from the rig since it comes with reverb. The Invective cuts out the gate, but I think the savings are offset by the cost increase. The clean channel on the 6505 isn't nearly as good as the Invective, but it's still fine on the highest wattage setting and it becomes actually good if you put the jj low gain tubes in it (which I highly recommend doing since the gain maxes out around 4 or 5 with the stock tubes).

@@ravendemo4980 The EVH floyd rose units sit flush on top of the body not floating (just like the PRS they picked out) therefore eliminating many of the issues present with cheap Floyds and because it sits flush on the body you can pretty easily do drop tunings too. Yes, you need the Allen wrench to lock/unlock but it's not a big deal. I've never had an issue before. What's quicker than a D-tuna at dropping from E to D and back again? I get why people are hesitant to get a floating Floyd Rose guitar especially on an affordable guitar. They can be a real pain in the butt sometimes however it's totally different with the EVH setup. If you like the Wolfgang then get a Wolfgang. The floyd rose thing is simply not an issue like it can be on other guitars.

A nice powered speaker like a CP12 can be had for 650 ish dollars with tax, or you could go cheap with a Headrush if you think they're good enough. that's 1850, so very similar price and the versatility of the FM3 is incredible and includes gates and reverbs and many other effect options.

Also has an always on display option. Plus ton of other options. I own two polytune 3. Full size and mini, I use them for gigs, and setting up guitars. The polytune in my opinion is one of the best tuners on the market. Only other that I say may be better would be a sonic stomp reasearch strobe tuner.

Decibels add in a log scale, which makes a 2x12 cabinet only 10% louder than a 1x12, and a 4x12 less than 20% louder than a 2x12. BUT to keep the same volume levels on each speaker you will need to increase output on the amp a lot to drive a 4x12 to be 20% louder than a 2x12, and a 2x12 to a 1x12. Basically you need 2x the amp output to increase 10% on dbs. If its volume you are looking for, go for a 1x12 high output.

Really identify with the whole not cheaping out on the guitar cab. My realization came when my band opened up for a band that was a bit more established and the guitarists rig was a Gibson Les Paul custom into a duel rectifier then plugged the whole expensive as hell rig into a berhinger 4X12. His tone didn't sound much different from mine as we were using the exact same cab, and my rig was a poor man's rig (pawn shop Ibanez with guitar fetish pickups, into a peavey valveking). I sold that thing not too long after and bought something far better

The difference between a100 watt amp vs.a 50 watt amp at full volume is only 3dbs. You'd would've been thinking a lot more but it's not. So yes, you can use a 50 watter with no problem. Great video for the kids and beginners. Thanks Ben and Fluff.🎸🎸🎸🎸👍

******* I wish Fluff would start his own "Rig Rundown" interview/local band gear type vids. Travel around to local shows, show off some local bands, backstage etc. Local bands get their name out, plus Fluff can just chill, and do what he does best!

I immediately stank faced when he started playing on the red channel and then Fluff made the stank face comment 😂

To further go with the you don’t need a 100 watt head to gig just look at Paul Lander from Rammstein. He doesn’t use an amp period. He uses a SansAmp FlyRig.

I recently got a Blackstar Venue Series HT Club 50 head($375) - Blackstar Vertical HT2x12VOC cab($300) - Epiphone Les Paul Custom($399) all three I got at a pawn shop. And then went on reverb and got a Fortin Blade Blackout Whitechapel Boost($170) - TC Electronics Eyemaster($45) - TC Electronics Polytune 3($70) - ISP Decimator II Noise Reduction($120). So I think i got decent deals on what I got. And hey came in slightly under what y'all came up with. But mine was all used so what is better?

I had a feeling it would be the EVH in this video! Such a good amp. +1 on the cab, hate when people cheap out on cabs!

Maybe so, but it is far from yhe cheapest amp you can get that is gig worthy. Defeats the title of the video.

@@MercilessGuitar151 I dont know, i think its cheap enough for someone who wants to do this professionally like mentioned in the video. Compared to amps that are thousands, this isnt too bad.
