That Gibson in the background looks sick ❤ I love mine

Stormy Monday!!

I would take the Gibby 498T and 490R over the Lollar's any day. The 498T and 490R are hotter and have a better harmonic response. It really is a matter of personal preference. However, after playing Gibsons and every other kind of guitar for over 40 years, the 498T and 490R are some of the best pickups ever made. The specs match of exceed Duncans and Dimarzios.

The Soldano did it the best, the Orange just sounds horrible.

Awesome tone.🔥🎸👏👏 Big like. Hope you are doing well.😊✌

I didn't hear any significant difference with anything you did. I have a 65 Reissue which sounds pretty good to me, kind of like most Fender amps. To tell the truth I think all the hype about the old amps being better is to justify the crazy prices people ask for them, and any difference between the old ones and new ones IMHO is very subtle. Over the years I've had a few of the older ones, a blackface Bandmaster (it was OK), a Blackface Bassman (great bass amp for small venues, used for bass in a 3 piece acoustic band), a silverface Quad Reverb (loud and very very heavy, weird Master Volume control), a Super 60 rackmount (OK), and now a 65 Deluxe Reissue (probably the best of all of them). BTW I sold all of the others with no regrets, except for maybe the Bassman, and I wish I still had that one.

I wasnt going to sub, but then the lava lamp, and you asked nicely

So... for the at home player, theyre useless 😆 🤣 Love the amp though

I just bought a used one and noticed a drop on channel 2, figured i needed to change tubes to be careful but your vid is exactly what i noticed but without the knowledge of what is happening. Thanks. I was going to buy a blues jr but the 65 clean channel was amazing. 68 DR is great too. Cant go wrong with either Cork sniffer, 😂... That's nicer than fart smeller. Im going to be a little nicer and borrow your phrase

498T & 490R 😉😊🥲😋💘❤💯👍

You gotta crank i t up

Awesome!

Good luck brother, I’m wanting to audition for this too, but I’d be happy for them and you, if they choose u

As you may have noticed the bright cap has maximum effect at lower settings of the volume control, and progressively less as you turn it up. This is because the cap is bypassing the series element of the volume control. At 10 there will be effectively no difference.

The great thing about Input 1 is that it eliminates any need for an overdrive pedal that thins your guitar's tone.

Sounds awesome

😮😮😮

Damn. Killing it.

Rad, SoCal represent

More Mids on the Les…opposite with the Tele

no different to the sounds im getting from any other amp or the Logic Guitar Rig in the studio. an amp'd signal is what it is. obviously eq compression and mic placement, room and fx can make these amps come alive, but the vintage stuff is way overpriced.

The 490 and 498 sound…. Balanced, perfect and almost mastered

Great video. Just got the Space in 2023 and I'm learning how to do the "deep dive" with this unit and using an expression pedal. I like the H9 software to create/modify patches. This pedal is overwhelming with what it can do, like my Boss DD500 delay, but it's fun to play around with to come up with unique sounds. I'm most confused by the Dynaverb section - I haven't quite figured out how it works (I know it's ducking/limiting, etc.) to create a useful patch. I have been playing acoustic, electric guitar and bass in church worship teams for over 25 years.

Buenos días, muy bien vídeo amigo. Estás dos pastillas, están en la misma liga, he tenido las dos y a mí me gusta más la Gibson 498t, va a gustos. Un abrazo ❤.

To my ears I prefer the fender deluxe. The soldano sounded better in the mix, but on its own I didn't like it. The orange isn't the most sparkly clean but I do feel it out weighed the marshall... I found the Marshall to be a little boring but was still better than the soldano played on its on with no mix. All great amps and all useful, I think fender still King of the cleans. But that being said, in a playing out setting most people is not going to pay too much unless of course there are other but nine times out of 10 people just want to feel the groove.

need to put them back to back to tell a difference. not all 3 positions then switch guitars.

Are those 500k pots?

The Gibson 498t has always been my favorite bridge Humbucker, so of course I prefer the tone, You know you can roll down the volume knob a tad it cleans up, roll up and it has balls. The Lollars have no where to go by comparison IMHO. However, it's all about what you like so I'm glad your happy. Feel free to send me your old pups :)

I like that you take your own route.

I don't understand how some people preferred the Lollar? ok, it sounds good, no problem, but it doesn't sound "Gibson". Better to buy another guitar if you don't like this kind of warm and creamy sound. The 490R / 498T combination is a typical success in the spirit of Gibson. Thanks for the video. A french musician.

I think you might want to have a Les Paul handy that has the stock pick ups. Listening to this on my headphones I really like the sound of the stock pick ups, plain clean. They’re brassier rounder and more articulated. However, when you go into overdrive, crunch or distortion, that’s where the PAF style pick ups really shine. The hotter stock pick ups tend to get muddier and crunchier. The tone is more brash than brass. The PAF style low output, pick ups really love to be driven. It’s where they’re best and, quite frankly, it’s what they’re most coveted for. everyone wants to hold Gibson burst tone. I just ordered a Les Paul and I’m putting these high winds in it.

Input 2 sounds perfect for all your Guitars. I use 2 only now, it meand I can actually get a cleaner sound and more volume before the amp explodes. For recording 2 again works better even with boost type pedals and echo..it sounds more accurate and not so spikey. Great dexterity in your picking, sounds fab!

More, neck pu is ALNICO II vs V on Gibson...

Using a comp in a vs is totally stupid, dorry.

This is an instrumental version of (made by Yngwie in REH video intro) .. which song? Hadn't lyrics yet maybe.. still is great as an instrumental

Lollar Imperial High Winds, clarity for fun!

You want to subscribe haha

Useful . Good video. Thanks

For some reason I’ve never heard this topic covered before

I've come across so many fanboys of guitar brands that believe that a few QC issues aren't a big deal on a $3000 guitar. It's one thing to buy a used Gibson LP from someone that used it a lot, and it has some wear, maybe a couple of dings, it's another when that kind of stuff comes straight from the factory for full price. Can you still enjoy a guitar when the finish isn't perfect, or the binding isn't cut inconsistently, or when the nubs on the fret ends aren't perfect? Yes. Those things wouldn't affect how much I enjoy the sounds and playability of a guitar. In that sense, these issues are no problem. But, when you are buying a guitar from the factory, and it passes a bunch of hands, goes for a final inspection, and they sign off on the guitar, then that is an issue. That's an issue that speaks to how the company views it's customers. Gibson knows they have a built in base of fans that are brand loyal. To them, Gibson can do no wrong. These people are so emotionally tied to the brand, it becomes part of their identity. The fact that they will sell people a $3000 guitar, and know people will accept any issue it has, speaks volumes. And, when a company is so caught up in suing other brands for making their guitars better than they are, instead of putting that energy and money into making a better guitar is insulting to a player. You will absolutely have issues with a guitar once in a while. Even $5000 guitars may have something. But, you shouldn't be expected to pay full price for a guitar that has some flaws. If Gibson or Fender wants to allow B-Stock guitars, they should ask for B-Stock pricing. It's as simple as that. Sure, I would absolutely buy a Gibson with a hair under the clear coat. but I want it for less, because in 20 years when I may sell it, someone is going to point out that hair, and expect to pay less for it.

Can you tell me how the external speaker jack works? Does it cut out the inyrtnal speaker? Does it lower the impedance

Amazing! Subbed

great vid!

is it possible to jump channels?

what is that initial effect in the first verse?

I know everyone has their own conceptions about what defines certain tones, such as "sparkly", but I was confused because I've heard Fenders, Marshalls and even Soldanos be much more sparkly sounding than the examples here. Then I noticed that you had the treble set *below 5* on all of them. Not trying to be an ass about it, but really? Treble and presence are precisely where you get sparkle from.

First, playing a gibson guitar through a fender amp is not what leo invisioned when designed so not the tone you are playing at all.

Thank you for doing this comparison. Very well done video and great playing.

Great video! I love Les Paul's but sadly am sending a Studio I received last week back due to cosmetic issues. Also in the last year I've returned a Standard with similar problems. Also in 2016 I received an SG with paint overspray! My conclusion? I LOVE the Les Paul but these things are unacceptable period. How QC can sign off on these defects to me defies logic

Thank you for helping me id and locate the 47pf capacitor. It sits on the Vibrato Channel Volume pot. Regarding input 1 for single coil and input 2 for humbucking pickups. That really twisted my brain around. I've never ever heard that before. Did you learn that from another source or just conclude it yourself. It sounds logical, I'm just blown that I've never heard that before. I've been using Fender amps since 1964.
