My version of Keb Mo's Perpetual Blues Machine. Thanks to *Jay Baechler for making this video happen, it's a wonderful start for me ! *Florent Giraud for the recording, mixing and mastering of the audio. *All of you bluesmen out there who inspire me and show me the way.
Did you get any distortion when at 50% charge? I've heard some of the battery-power amps do this.
Awesome, I might buy the AM-53!
Great vid, helped me decide on which one!!!(AS 53)
Hey old rags, Have you had any problems with defective adapters (the ones where you put the batteries in)? I have build it like this: I mounted an extra jack into the cube whose wiring goes to exactly those pins where the wires from the original batteries go (all inside on the pcb). Then I soldered an extra connection cable from that jack to the bosch battery adapter. So they are very easy to unplug, good for carrying. Problem: I have destroyed 3(!!!) of these adapters already. They seem to be very sensitive when switching the amp on or off. Probably a voltage surge. Have you encountered this problem as well? Thanks.
I have not had any problems. What does the damage look like? Make sure your connectors and wires are big enough, there is a lot of current here!
@@christophwalker1219 The adapters simply quit working. Wires and connectors all big enough.
Incredibly interesting and helpful ! Thanks !
Great Work Rags... can use for Hi- quality work music blaster too ...
So I was looking at the Epiphone versions of semi-hollow guitars but they are made out of ply-wood... they give the ply a fancy name and who knows if ply makes that much of a difference but for me there is no substitute for a real wood instrument.. a these are as cheap or in some cases cheaper!!
IF I USE 6 MAH BATTERY INSTEAD OF 3 MAH FROM BOSCH , IS THE SAME SIZE WILL BE ANY PROBLEM??
The first thing I said in the music store when I bought my AM-53:"Hey,this Guitar has the Blues!" The owner smiled and agreed.
Cool 🎸🥁😎
Great pray for everybody especially in the morning
Great raw blues sounds like early Tom Waits, jon spencer blues explotion, and... E t c. Respect to you brow. Dude you are awsome
Dude, can you make me one? Tell me how much $ you want for it.
Posso essere sincero? Ma perché tanti video sono solo in inglese e, tra l'altro, senza possibilità di essere tradotti? Se vi beate della sola lingua vostra, i video, teneteli per voi.... E che c......!!!!
Très ingénieux bravo! 🙂
Why not just buy the Roland BTY-NIMH/A Rechargeable battery pack which is designed for the Street EX and gives 10 hours
10 hours at max? Or just 4 if its at max. Roland site just says twice the runtime
Is it just me? It sounds as you're under a blanket. Sorry, maybe tweak the tones.
Inside that battery are simple Li-ion cells so you could buy 8 of them with a big enough capacity and charge them even with your tool charger. No need to have this replacement part with battery sticking outside...
do these batteries shut off at low voltage? if not you will destroy them. (incl explosion while charging) they must be protected against over-discharge.
Good point ! No, the batteries have no over-discharge protection. I have already destroyed some. Luckily, they are cheap, especially the generic ones. The roland has a battery indicator, when there is only one light left, the battery should be recharged. I suppose it shouldn't be too complicated to add an electronic module to the adapter to protect against over-discharge.
Hmm.. do normal rechargeable AA batteries that fit into the Roland cube battery pack shut off at low voltage? I don't think so.. I use Energizer AA batteries for all sorts of things and eventually they go flat, but then ya charge them up again. That's always been normal to do with AA li-ion batteries. There's never been any warning regarding over discharge of these AA batteries? 🤷 I've used these Energizer rechargeable AA batteries in my cube ex, and Bluetooth for my electric guitar for years
With the way this pack is made i think you could do a non destructive mod that would allow you to put a jack in the pack that would be removable then use a simple cable to connect.
Would I be able to do this with a Makita battery? I can see the terminals on the bosh are easier to find.
yes. just make sure the Makita shuts off at a certain voltage. in case you over-discharge it it will be damaged
My AS53 is the most beautiful and best built guitar Ive ever owned...and Ive had real LPs and Yamaha SGB2000 and the like...
Hello how can the Street Cube 2 record Loops and mic sounds to save them in a pendrive without using a pc ?
On another video somebody's taking off the CUBE logo that they stupidly put right over a sound hole that seriously impairs the sound quality and function of said hole. IT'S at the top end price wise for a busking amp but it's really got too many glitches that ougbt to have been ironed out at the testing stage...it kinda sucks that Roland haven't been bothered to go the extra mile...at £500 and rising Roland need.to respect and honour their customers and not expect customers to undertake alterations concerning flaws regarding basic functions... This isn't people swapping out a new guitars pick ups for a favourite brand or type.. This is errors of design choices that caused poor quality, and a poorly functioning. product.. Wise up Roland you need to fix these basic errors before You launched this or any Roland product...THEY'VE GOT TO WORK WELL FOR THIS MONEY!!!
All good BUT.. For the money it's kinda crazy Roland haven't ironed out the worst parts of functionability.. they haven't done their snagging .. It's putting me right off.. It's appalling treatment of the customers. . It's not good at all... This kinda thing is totally the designers responsibility Any one else agree !?
Is there any reason to not use a normal lithium 12v battery tho? You could then get one with a greater charge (Ah) and it could last even longer no?
Hi Jake I'm not sure what "normal" means here, but I guess you could say the battery I am using is a "normal" 12v lithium battery.
Genius! Im defo doin this
Would you make this for some one else ??? If so what would you charge.
Nice video! Would you mindo to help, please? I wonder know if the Ibanez AS 53 and AS 73 are correspondents to Epiphone Casino or are they smaller, please? Thanks in advance!
The Casino is fairly different in that the Casino is a ES-330 sequel (single coils, hollow body), whereas the Ibanez AS 53 and AS 73 are ES-335 sequels (humbuckers, semi-hollow). Epiphone Casinos also come in the "coupe" variant, which has a smaller body.
@@christophwalker1219 Thanks a lot!!! But the Ibanez AS 53 and 73 are the same size of the Casino, ES-330 and ES-335, please?
@@ggp... Yes their physical size is similar as far as I know (except for the Casino Coupe which is smaller).
@@christophwalker1219 Yessss!!! Many, many thanks!!! :-)
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for
They are really close, as they feature similar (if not absolutely identical) pickups. It's down to playability, volume/tone configuration and looks.
Хоть кто то нормальное видео снял
This 3-in-1 battery has Bluetooth and lasts 10 hours
th-cam.com/users/shortsOr3o89FR9js?feature=share
Looks like this could be a solution for those of you guys who want to "buy one" :) @Andi Joseph @Michael del Rosario Very neat! But I guess a bit more expensive if you already have power tool batteries.
Where could you buy this nifty pack? I can't read Chinese 😁
Did you have any problem with depleting the batteries and rendering them dead? or does the battery check meter work good from the amp as a reader for that?
Good point Matt, there is no protection built into these batteries, meaning you could over-discharge them with the amp. If I recall correctly, the battery meter on the amp can be used to know when to recharge.
Amazing sound and beautifully presented.
They all sound great, I'm looking to get the AM53
Just to confirm I heard correct. On the AS-53 you added frames around the pickups but the pickups themselves are stock? Thanks! I have all acoustics and want a low buck blues tone electric (much lower budget than the AS-93, so I tried not to fall too hard for it!). This is a great video!
Thanks ! Yes that is correct, I only replaced the plastic frames for the looks, the electronics are original. If you are interested in a good swampy tone, take a look at the AF-55. I love that one and it's full hollow, which gives it more bass which is great for picking. However, the neck is shorter which makes the high notes less accessible.
Old Rags, this is great, can I get you to make me one? I’m ready to buy it. I’m living in Sweden.
Hi Andi, thanks for the positive feedback, it's great to have interest from real street-musicians! However, I currently want to concentrate on my own projects and family. I'm sure you can find a trusty old viking craftsman up north to build one for you, it's super easy and the parts are cheap.
Clever.
Thank you! Very enjoyed. Listening to and then relaxed to your play with a Wild Turkey bottle. So, how about a AS95, now I would like to have. Too small for you? Thanks a lot, from Japan.
Hi, thanks ! I'm sorry, I don't know about the AS95...
Why not just buy extra default battery packs for the unit?
1) They are expensive (the empty plastic will set you back about 25 bucks, and you have to buy NIMH batteries on top). 2) That pack will last up to 2 hours tops. 3) When you want to charge that pack, you have to unscrew 4 screws, open the pack, charge the 8 (!) batteries, and then do the same in reverse. Charging the drill's battery pack is a much faster and easier move.
Could you not build/connect the Bosch battery onto the original battery case?
@@andijoseph Absolutely, that would also be an option.
Love it dude , thanks , been looking at those exact guitars.
I am wondering how fragile it is. It's really "out there" - meaning, exposed. It could get accidentally knocked, kicked or moved against a wall too hard or something might happen when transporting it. Yes, i know we should be careful, but accidents do happen. Any comments, please? Could an enclosure be built around the battery?
Hi ! The metal-clip holding the battery-holder is quite sturdy, I wouldn't be afraid to take it to the street. The entire Street Cube EX with the mounted adapter still fits into the official Roland carrying bag, that would protect it for travel, or simply taking it out for travel would work too. If all of that's not doing your trick, I'm sure you could build an enclosure to improve things.
@@oldRagsBlues I am seeing the same Bosch battery online, with 12V but it has 6.0 aH instead of 3 aH. Would that be a problem?
@@robbiedaug if you mean the kind which has a different form factor, it doesn't fit in the adaptor as I designed it. Electrically it would work though.
@@oldRagsBlues Thanks. The battery looks the exact same size from the same company. But would the extra 3.0 aH give me more time (longer charge) when using the amp?
I use rechargeable batteries ,bring about 24 aa to be safe
Hi Old Rags. Very impressed, but have you tried to go direct from your Bosch 12V battery into the supplied power transformer fitting in the amp? I did this successfully using a lithium 9V battery into a 9V Roland RX cube. Very interested if you tried this. Cheers Eric
I have tried it in the past and it does work, however I think there were sound problems at high volume (not 100% sure I remeber correctly). The original power supply is rated 13.5V.
The issue is most probably the mA requirement. The correct voltage is one thing a how many milliamps I can deliver is the other important thing. It sound like to power source/battery couldn’t deliver enough milliamps
You could countersink the screw heads.
Would work with screws with huge heads, as the contactors on the amp are quite big.
The pickup rings on the AS53 are very cool. Where'd you get them? ...you think they'd work fine on the AM53?
I got them from Thomann and their shape doesn't perfectly fit the Ibanez rounded body. Close enough for me though and mechanically quite okay. www.thomannmusic.ch/harley_benton_tonabnehmer_rahmen.html
@@oldRagsBlues Thanks for the info dude. Appreciate it.
Wow! Thanks for that man! one question though, can i also charge the battery with the adapter? should i only switch the plus and minus?
I haven't tried but I doubt it. I wouldn't advise to try it unless you know everything about Li-ION battery charging and the Bosch 12v system charging specification. Don't switch plus and minus to charge ! Generic chargers are cheap and charge fast : tinyurl.com/yx7zuufc. If you have any 12v power tool that comes with a charger, you can consider using that tool's battery and charger, provided you find an battery-adapter.
@@oldRagsBlues thanks!!
@@oldRagsBluesAlso thanks for the link. Much appreciated.
Do sell these, because I'd gladly buy one frmo you.
Up
the AM53 for sure
Is this amp good with pedals?
The included effects are great, except for the distortions. Clean amp is great!
@@oldRagsBlues Is that because the Amp needs a bigger battery to compensate for the they extra draw on electrical current? In which case I'm wondering whether a Powerbank would provide more juice eg from a 36,000mAh Power Bank. I've just set up a 36,000 mAh with Cioks4 voltage converter to supply a 9 Volt BOSS RC-30 Loop Pedal and the 18volt Hotone Ampero Multi Effects Pedal.
