I use AMPFARM 4.0 + DAW or PodFarm effects and it's PERFECT 🎸🤘😉

I watch gear videos to hear people play since so many of the skilled players are forced to shill. I have my rig and I love it so I'm set. I could care less about methodology since there are far too many variables to draw anything more than a "maybe?" from any review. Also I'm not buying anything anyway, LOL.

TIRED OF TONE STUDIO AND ALL OTHER COMPUTER CRAP JUST TO PLAY GUITAR BUTTON. --------> 🛑 I bought this specifically because I’m so sick of tweaking my Kemper, Helix, QC, MX5, ToneX and AxeFx via computer. 10 years of that shit and I’m DONE with all of them. No more apps, Bluetooth, needing to be a freakn PhD in computer science and a music engineer. Buy this if you just want to play with badass tones with very little effort. It’s a GREAT device.

I think that what a lot of gear channels get wrong ("wrong" is subjective), is that they don't compare and/or eliminate variables. So often, a reviewer will say "this thing has such and such tonal qualities" but don't actually prove it. If they're reviewing a guitar, and they say the pickups have a lot of clarity, they should run a different guitar through that same signal chain to show us, right? If they were telling the truth, the other guitar should sound muddy, flubby, whatever, in comparison, and now we have a legitimate reason to potentially purchase said guitar or pickups. Gear reviews exist in a vacuum for the most part. We as the viewers don't actually know what the gear being reviewed sounds like until a part of the signal chain is changed. This thought process led me to create my own video on the topic and propose changes to video formats that would actually benefit the consumer. Things that benefit consumers often don't benefit the people who need consumers to keep consuming new products. All my tests and others tests have done is make me care less about gear and just use what I have. XD

some great talking points Dan, totally agree when you say 'sharing the experience' and everyone's use case will be different, you can't possibly replicate all the possible ways people will use equipment, that's not really feasible i think the hardest use case to really demonstrate is in a room say with a full band + loud drummer, as let's face it if a cab is mic'd up or direct even a 5 watt combo will translate over a PA and might even sound better 😄 in youtube land i think people will tune in to see what kind of tones this or that particular youtube channel manages to get out of a unit and form an opinion based on that in my use case for example, we use IEMs and modelling with the band, the recorded tone is paramount and how it sits in the mix with the other instruments. however i still want /need to hear stuff in isolation to give me a better idea and be able to project 'your experience' to my own possible experience should i be interested in getting a piece of equipment, the isolated tone is key as long as any processing is also detailed (in the description or otherwise) that's the main thing I'm also part of that group and make videos as well where i try to share the experience and various tones from my use case (that may or may not appeal or apply to my audience) another talking point or thing to do might otherwise be in consistency, for example back in the day i had one main 4x12 that I'd use with tube amp heads, so how stuff sounded through that cab was the benchmark. These days with loadboxes/IRs there's so much choice, but perhaps always hearing one consistent /staple IR/cab might be cool in order to better compare various amps in various videos (e.g how an amp sounds through a v30 or greenback etc etc..) this might be a way of doing it thanks for the video

Hey, Hi, What's Up? INSTANT subscribe cuz you have a YAMAHA JX-20 amplifier right there on the screen! My first amplifier was this exact model in 1978 bought brand new along with a Hondo II Tobacco Sunburst Les Paul copy. By the way, I did watch the video and STAYED subscribed!!! Nice work!

Compelling piece

I liked that you reply to all the comments in your videos in case I have a question because I'm 14 and other people don't take me serious. I can't think of any questions right now because sometimes it's better to keep my mouth zippered up and listen. I'm gonna subscribe to your channel just in case I do have questions to ask.

Once i heard that u had to hold something down when starting up your Daw i suspect this was going to be a buggy product. Programmers were way over their heads with this product and due to inadequate skills could not figure out how to get their Control Surfaces functions immediately accessable when the DAW starts up.

I say dime all the knobs and put a ribbon mic as close to the speaker as possible and only play an 8 string, That should do it.

Well here are my thoughts Dan. First I love the phrase 'It's pre-recorded sounds' for digital stuff. Wow that just hit the nail on the head. Now as for evaluations, I would get three speaker cabs. A single small club cab, maybe a dual cab, and then a 4 banger half stack. Have a speaker switcher between the three (I can fab one for you if you would like), and do an A-B-C comparison. Next I think quality of build is important and you might want to ask the manufacturers the 'behind the scenes' on build details that the general purchaser might not know. We have many customers wanting to know all the quirks and details on their gear that are not in the operation manual. Next -- discuss repairability when out of warranty and warranty itself. Next create your own chart stating 1-10 'ease of use' rating in your opinion. This should be based on how long it takes to dial in a tone, etc. Some people don't have three weeks to dial in their tone, so they stay away from more sophisticated gear. Lastly, CUSTOMER SERVICE from the factory. Does it exist? Can you speak with someone in support? Hope this helps. Love your vids!

Cheers for the shoutout buddy!

Thanks!!!Excellent!!!

Wat if i used backing tracks

My second guitar ever was a black HR Fusion like that. The best of the best!

How is it as an audio interface? Any issues with latency? I only play in my mancave home studio via my PC and studio monitors. TYIA

The greatest music ever recorded across every single genre was all done without amp modellers. they suck.

Thanks, @LonelyRocker for the tutorial. Any chance you can share your SPAN preset? Thanks =)

Thank you for the update! This machine is an absolute beast.

I loved my JCM900, it and the Sovtek mig 100 were my favorite 2 amps I’ve owned, and im an idiot for letting both of them go.

Thank you for your great tutorial video! I have a question, maybe a bit weird, anyway… I really love some of my very unic tones that i’ve created in my Helix using it’s virtual amps and compressors/stomps making many of recordings and using live for years. Now i’m the owner of a Tonex One pedal and i’d like to capture my favorite HElIX complex amp tones for this small unic captures player but i can’t find anything online with this specific question. I guess this process could be very easy and very useful not for me only and I’d be happy to have an advice from you! Thank tyou again!

Lets just hope jcm900mkiii will never become collectable as I converted mine to Sir#34 making it less of a collector item. That turned out really good. Mk3 is reasonably good sounding amp but does not have much dirt unless you use the diode clipping. Why Marshall decided to reissue the dual reverb is weird decision and it’s even more weird that someone would buy a reissue. Originals can be had for next to nothing all day long.

Except that it’s INSANELY priced.

dude, had to stop watching, I can cope with adverts that are over 2 minutes long with no option to skip

My instruments have dry stereo. Get on my level. 😤

Lol, this has been going on for years mate 😬

I love snapshoot mode from helix Fm9 have this mode ?

I think your my new favorite channel lol

It's pretty amazing what you can get for little money these days!

I have a headrush pedalboard. I just bought the Tonex because I honestly miss having the power to use the pedals I want, without a bunch of extra wiring. The delay/reverb/modulation effects are really basic on my giant headrush. Also, the amp models have just become boring since I’ve had it for 6ish years. Gonna be running a tonex with a Fender fr-12. Hope it’ll stack up to my headrush though my EVH fx loop 😬

I really enjoyed the song you played in this video! Thoughtful review too. Well done 👍🏼

For your back, definitely

Sounding and looking good Dan! 👍👍👍

Funny how the Boss GT-1000 is hardly ever included in these... it's an awesome unit!

Been years since my hands have touched a 12 string. There have been times when I wished I had one (that sound). Happy to see you are enjoying this guitar - thanks Dan for the transparent experience 😎

This is a very very very good tutorial and explanation. I regret the countless hours i spent watching other KZfaq Videos sending me down and endless rabbit hole of mixing hell.

You are an amazing guitar player, the music is awesome!

what is missing is exciting reverbs imo

Wait a minute wait a minute so what you're saying is that all of those apparent annoying frequencies that guys are always trying to get rid of our actually there for a reason to help somebody sound good in a mix and actually play with other people interesting concept because guys just go around and complain that every Amp sounds terrible, but they never ever play with anybody else And they have walls of useless amps that just collect dust and all sound terrible apparently but maybe just maybe the guys who design these Amp know what they're doing and all of those little bedroom warrior problems would actually go away if these dip shits would actually utilize the amplifiers for their intended purposethey should probably stick with battery powered 3 W amps

Thanks so much for this great video! I just purchased my ME90, tried inserting some of my other pedals (delays, reverbs etc...) in the ME's effects loop and was really dissapointed with the sound... Do you use normal mono.jack cables or stereo jacks (balanced)? Many thanks! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have the SLS Elite BASS and it needs no mods. It would cost me 3x as much to find a similar instrument. LOW_END!!! and beautiful.

Holy smokes dude, this is probably the most helpful video on mid/side EQ I’ve watched on KZfaq, ever. You are incredible at explaining this, everyone else just explains things so unclearly

Why everyone just test on electric guitar, i try to find a video about acoustic guitar but can't find it 😢😢

So, what amp will be powering your Fractal FM9?

Thank you, using some of these.

My Uberschall has EHXECC83 12AX7/ECC83 Slovakia Preamp preamp tubes and two in the back have rubber bands on top of them, what are the rubber bands for?

Your opinion does matter and that's why I've always enjoyed your videos. YT is swamped with rubbish and it's harder to find quality content produced by genuine people who actually enjoy what they do - and yours is just that. This video helped me understand the person behind the videos and I found it genuinely touching - and all the more supportive of you to continue. It's PERSONALITY that attracts an audience and your genuineness, and humble but amicable character is what draws people here. But what matters is if you, yourself, enjoy it. I have a channel of 13k subscribers - I earn a fraction of what I earned in a 'normal' job and work 3 times harder - but love what I do - and that's what keeps me going. That, to me, is the fundamental question for you. As for content - just anything that interests you and your genuine enthusiasm is what will sell it to the audience. And 'Lonely Rocker' resonates with many of us who similarly share your journey in our own interpretations of life. Hell, I enjoy your videos primarily because you're a fellow Rush fan! So, stick at it and regards from a small 'lonely' corner in the UK.

Wow. What year is this? Did we teleport to 1985?

Does it all.. LOL You know the sound comes from the speakers ? Well over $2000.00 For what? That? Nope !
