Why does it matter? Quality of audience vs quantity.

@@cryptokingz615 yes quality meaning real people....2.3.4

@@mikehunt576 Are you implying i'm a blowup doll?

agreed, hes 100 times the producer than many including myself.

And hooked to his compressors too. First guy to use the Ibanez TS10, even before SRV!

did he have it before or after his gain pedals? and which gain pedals? THANKS!

Garcia did that too.

Old guys do it better sometimes.

Sometimes you can learn a lot in a place you wouldn't have thought of. Thanks for the reminder.

So you guys have learned nothing from video games... talk to more ‘weird’ old guys... he may give you a clue to solve the next problem you’re bound to see :)

@@JPIndustrie I've learned a lot from both either way can't hate

@@81Badger81 experience is very valuable... young people learn that in time

It's very easy to build most of these... Take a look at the freestompboxes website... You also have near everything existing as kits! When I was in high school as these were damn expensive here (pre-EU), I even built my tube amp! Used the Mesa Stu22 reverse engineered plans, trannies from a dead Marshall 1974x, chassis+cab+pots from a f-up Fender Champ, caps from a tube HiFi amp that was found in a trashbin, and a domestically produced Audax 12' guitar speaker which was half as cheap as an imported Greenback. I agree that the Audax lacks sensitivity, so you better have at least 2 with a 20W amp, but it also sounds better than any Celestion. BTW, you should take a look at domestic production of guitars! You have freaking great tone woods in Brazil, my 2 cents you have luthiers able to do better than US corporate guitars. The issue is often getting good PUs, but again, there are likely artisans that can make yours. Actually, corporate guitars companies and other brands are often held by banks or hedge funds, they do a LOT of advertising and paying big to endorse famous musicians... I own freaking gear, but near all my guitars and basses were built by artisans and don't count on me to go back to corporate guitars. I found out it was cheaper to get out of use electronics or stuff that need repairs then nonetheless repair it but customise it as high end. I also go for forgotten gear or gear that is out of trend : They all want vintage or boutique stuff or vintage re-eds? Time to buy rackezd gear, just like, around 1990, it was time to buy Twin Reverb, Vibroverb, HiWatt, etc: you got em for peanuts while everybody wanted racks! Guess what? Be it a rack-amp+preamp, a combo or a head, the circuits are barely the same ones! BTW, your GT100 is surprising if you use a Marshall EL84-20/20 after it! It's surely better to have a tube preamp, high end Lexicon and Eventide Fx, but, to my own surprise, once into the small stereo Marshall amp, the GT100 brought a surprising professional sound while plugged into the PA, it sucked big league.

Then if they actually record anything the engineer will fuck with their sound anyway, run it through all his gadgets

There's already an EQ section on every amp and OD/dist pedal. If you dial a good tone there you can do without the EQ pedal on board.

@@servethesongs yikes man

@@renzocalcagno536 Bass/treble knobs are not an EQ

@@RobinDale50 Perhaps by EQ you mean 'active EQ filters, not passive ones?' Anyway, B/T knobs do filter EQ frequencies, so they are good tools to shape your tone. Dedicated EQ pedals to me are necessary when there's a problem in the room you're playing and you can't sort it out setting your eq on amp/pedals, or even playing within an ensemble and your guitar can't cut through the mix.

Pat Metheny is a close second. :)

Carl verheyen too

Eddie Van Halen. Period.

I wish I could get lessons 1 on 1, the guys so nice and inspiring!

Yeah literally no one. Millions of guitarist around the world (including amateurs) and NO ONE looks as joyful. Geez...

I got a 20 ft cord and put my pedal away . not much chasing now cause the amp is across the room.and the pedal is in my utility shed .

I tossed out my electric gear for that reason and switched to acoustics forever and made huge progress.

@@jimmyparris9892 You won't get a 'modified' tone using a little Champ amplifier. It will faithfully play whatever you have plugged into it.

I bought a jrockett Tim pierce overdrive and I love it!!

Yes sir! It was my solo boost pedal for my Boogies and Marshall heads back in the day. Worked awesome!

It's much better to use a studio EQ : the output level is enough to drive poweramps

I feel personally attacked by this relatable content. What I've really learned, is when my amp sounds absolutely great without bass and drums, it sounds like absolute garbage in a loud, hard rock mix. I felt like jamming with Rage Against the Machine yesterday, and I spent 45 minutes trying to get the right sound. My wife (who I thought was outside) comes in and says, "PLAY A SONG ALREADY!" after I must have played a few of the same chords and riffs a few hundred times. It sounded best with the settings and pedals I was using the first three minutes. But you know how time flies when you're having fun twiddling all the knobs and sliders.

Stephen Greenberg half of the time I’m playing by myself I’m just playing the same chord changing knobs like I feel bad for anyone listening lol

nice, you made me think with your comments about things that maybe we waste time stressing about. And things that I don't appreciate (that actually counts). Nice. : )

Do you really feel bad, though? I have to remind myself I'm wasting actual practice time when I go down that rabbit hole. It's almost as bad as looking for overdrive pedals on the web. I can already get Plexi sounds, variac brown sounds, dual rectum sounds, whatever...with just a single Black Rat clone, dual EQs (front of chain and end of fx loop), a compressor and an amp that's a tube distortion pedal with a speaker. Maybe not get "get" those sounds, but close enough that anyone who cared about such things, and no one who can hear us does care let me assure you, would say "That sounds surprisingly good for a bunch of cheap assed crap. But you need to practice more because you suck." Sure I have to adjust the gain on the BR in 1/4 of a *degree* increments on the knob because it goes from bluesy saturated to "how many OD and fuzz pedals can I run through a 6505 and not have it sound completely like a building being demolished in a Michael Bay movie" thick. Sometimes I turn it too high and have to play Metallica because the amp and pedals demand it. Damn them. I hate Metallica. God damn ruined metal by making it too metal. I've had to wash my hands afterwards, I felt so dirty.

@@michakowalski2930 Sure, I'm being a smartass, and you go and ruin it by getting something useful out of it :) No go watch Jacob Deraps play "I'm The One" into a tiny Marshall Class 5 with no pedals and sound better than any of us ever will :)

Michael Seymour Sensei?

Michael Seymour.... LOL

Tone is in the cheekbones

👏👏👏

Haaaaaaaaaa

looks huge

If I could play like that old guy, I’d look genuinely happy every time I played too 😂

Not the first time Phil says stuff that makes guitarists go, huh? He brings up the Metal Zone here with a completely irrelevant story and then jumps to the 5150 pedal for...some reason? It's stuff like that shows me how rudimentary his knowledge is.

yes- very cool tip...would love more detailed info about the frequencies that are inherent to particular instruments, pickups, etc to really dial-in those tones with the eq pedal...

I borrowed that Boss EQ from a friend and I was getting super compressed almost synth like sounds from it. It's awesome

Thanks for describing what the mod version does. So as an occasional bass player, I might need one of each? (Actually, as a OMB, I pump an octaver through a looper for the bass line. But maybe I still need one of each!)

It will not do that but if you know how each frequency band can help to shape your sound. Using it in front end or at FX loop will have different results. I have used between guitar and amp to cut some bass helps to get better string to string definition from distorted amp, there are lots of different examples.

Actually,all you need to get the flame top is that green and white paper, that has president's faces on it LoL. This paper gets you any sound you want.

Shane Davis This is a fact: I actually gave my friend money for a case of beer around new years to text me “play scales you lazy fuck” every morning; my tone’s never been better even when my signal’s bone dry

@@USSLIBERTYREMEMBERER that is a fantastic idea. And I bet your friend loves it!

Oh, that part ! Thanks Tim, Great video.

Favorite eq?

​@TacoTacoTacoTaco wow bro you really showed them who's boss

TacoTacoTacoTaco haha I’ve had 7 tape echos! Also named the band after a tape echo. A lot of those bands use Vox and Marshalls, I used both. Vet means I’m old lol.

Levi Jesse Maxon/Ibanez PQ9. Pearl GE09. I just got the little Ammoon EQ7, and it’s pretty great, esp for a cheap Chinese smt pedal. I love eq’s. I tell people just play around, don’t follow eq charts unless you just want a little adjustment. I like bright sounds, myself, so I tend to goose the higher end.

@@JoeyLevenson A very classy response to a not-very-classy comment; well played.

dont know if this is a good example, 1080p 2k and 4k tvs do have a bigger difference, also oled or led/lcd screens are completely different.

@@user-mw4em7mu6u Not only that but there's contrast ratio, latencies, refresh rate ect... Not a good analogy at all anymore really. However, back in the day of tubes/ CRTs this was mostly true. Most specs were the same other than size and other features. TV shops were known for putting better settings on the more profitable TVs and making the least profitable look like crap. This is likley what Daniel is referring. 👍

Maybe it's mine. I had one stolen off the stage in Thunder Bay, Ontario in 1988!

@@azbluesdog could be I bought mine in Texas in 1995.

I think Phil's last few statements sum that up: [Paraphrased] you buy pedals for you! If they make you feel good/make you creative, than purchase justified.

If you play shit music you can play shit guitars and amps. But if you play great music that stands out, playing shot equipment will not get you anywhere. Look at all the great classic rock songs. Try telling David Gilmour to play a shit guitar and amp and play a concert! It won’t work! People would go ape shit over that crap! Only a poor dude who can’t afford good equipment would say this. Unless maybe all you do is play bluegrass! lol!

@@ZYGTropicals - Good luck with that.

@@ZYGTropicals Gee. I always thought tone came from the hands and soul, not the gear. Guess I had it all wrong....

absolutely , ... my bass amp was only ever for my monitor , house sound was thru the desk and i always always thought i was too quiet out front and not enough bass ... i WAS plenty loud ... but the PA guy was nervous about a bottom B going thru his rig lol and there wasnt enough room for my leech bin on the bus so i resorted to upping the mids a little on my stage amp to punch thru ...worked fine until the manager noticed i`d changed my EQ on the amp ... busted

Yep!!!

😂😂

what does that mean? " Popping Off " ?

@@steveredenbaugh9058 he nailed it.

I love the giggity which is a preamp eq.

Jaw dropper for sure!

Yup. I'm a sound tech guy too. Most guitar My EQ is Xotic's RC Boost V2 pedal. EQ and 'bump' on the same box.
