Awesome cover!!!

Got a gainiac this week for 75 and a chameleon 2000 for 119. Crazy what can be had these days for next to nothing.

Like many preamps of this era, including the preamp of a JCM800 even, stick a tube screamer or a SD-1 in front. I think you can also bypass the preamp and use a distortion pedal in the FX loop and just use the FX of the SGX Nitro. 🍻

How does this 14 year old have so much more rack gear than me

Lol, it is beyond awesome to see these young metalheads/rock culture musicians out there doing their thing. This was literally me at 15. Even the whole look, haha. It's so awesome how everything comes back around. Metallica shirt, ripped jeans, hair halfway down your back, Iron Maiden poster, playing WASP on guitar....lol. 10/10. BTW great job on the song my dude. Sounds great.

It still has the best, and adjustable, spillover of any multifx unit. Even most high end modellers struggle with that! I had the Mustabeta firmware on both mine, better amp sims and general functionality. A Digitech engineer carried on updating for awhile. Micheal Amott from Arch Enemy STILL uses them for his live tone.

WASP forever...sick solo

This has been my main guitar effect unit since I bought it new in 1997. It made its way on to many recordings, and came along with me on the road for many shows on stage. I've used many pedals, but always come back to this unit, and have gotten well tuned-in with the programming of user presets, infinite delays, cavernous reverbs, etc. for more experimental tunes. Also have the FC-200 pedalboard that goes with it.

I'm getting one of these so I can play and not worry about damaging the head stock on my actual bc rich guitars while I practice at home.

Bravo Maestro.

I had a Prophecy for a short while and I actually didn't like it, but in your video it actually sounds better. I'm thinking it might have been the amp and speakers I was using. I got a Rocktron VooDoo Valve and I absolutely loved that thing , but after several years it started doing this weird thing where the volume would drop and start making crackling noises. I thought the tube was bad, so I replaced it but the new tube didn't solve the problem. I ended up with a Rocktron Replitone MP preamp that is absolutely killer sounding ! Incredible cleans and realistic valve-like distortion. They're hard to find but if you do see one, definitely try it out. It's really great, perhaps my favorite preamp ever. I also had a Replitone 2x12 amp as well as a 1x12 amp but they both started doing that weird volume drop, crackling sound thing....I wish Rocktron would reissue the Replitone amps and preamp with better quality components. Great reviews and nice playing, Mathias ! Keep them coming and keep up the good work ! - Cheers ! 🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍

Mathias, if you could use just one unit would you choose the GSP 1101, the ART DST 830 or the ART SGX 2000....thanks !!

What are the differences between the ART DST 825, DST 830 and DST Eighty Eighty....?

yo dude, sick video!! do you recommend i buy this as my 2nd guitar ever?

Thank you for your tutorial it inspired me a lot😄😃

Would you recommend this for a jamming guitar? Like a sludge/doom metal or just some heavy shit? I’m thinking of buying solely based on the look and being very cheap but I’m also considering a more expensive guitar like a epi Les Paul or maybe a esp

Motley crue - Looks That Kill 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

2:31 what's the riff from?

good job !

This is awesome.. no you are not a shitty guitar-player, this is a great review video, I my mind, nothing can go wrong with a Les Paul, I dont own an Epiphone Les Paul, but Gibson Les Paul's, I do believe that you could do one video like this for each guitar you own, and put out one video a week.. that would keep you busy for a year or so.. :D thanks.

Seriously, you turned the song into a literal torment 😒

Jim Matheos used an ART Power Plant on the Fates Warning album Perfect Symmetry. When I saw Fates Warning on tour in the early 1990s, Matheos was using ART SGX 2000 on stage. ART rack gear can sound really great if you know how to use it, as you have shown.

I donated one of these to the salvation army.

*You should add a TWO NOTES CAB-M with the MIDI PROGRAMABILITY! You will really be able to bring the very best out of that ART system and expand you tones like you never ever thought and SAVE presets and recall with MIDI...!

*I know you are excited!*

🤘

I would just jump in and do it. Grab a guitar, say what you do know about it and just play it with a nice clean, crunch, and lead sound. You'll likely get a lot of comments letting you know more on the specs of the guitars. I wouldn't worry too much about using 1 preamp / power amp / cab all the time. Just use what you think that guitar will vibe the best with. The only other thing you might want to do is to get an SM57 or something similar and mic up a cab. Unfortunately, though, that does add that post production element to the process. That's why I don't do audio + video, haha.

Not a bad preamp, especially for what you can get them for. If I remember correctly, a friend's band recorded a whole album with one back in the early 2000s. Nicely done!

This is not too bad!

Nice video

now one thing you can do is to make a vdei where you go over how mutch everything you have baught cost overall

I would probably choose one preamp you think will sound good with your insane collection of guitars. You can always do research online on different guitars because you can almost always find specs. Given that you have over 60 guitars you could probably do several in one video. If you can determine the point of origin you could do made in Japan, made in Korea, made in USA, etc

Hi, great idea, i think you just could sit right there, grab a guitar and then: This is my Jackson Kelly KE2 made in 2001, it has an alder body and maple neck, rosewood fretboard with 24 frets and as you can see it has shark inlays, this has a an original Floyd Rose tremolo system and the pickups are passive Jackson stock ones, the guitar is in really good condition even though its quite old now, the retail on this back in 2001 was around 1500 US dollars and today around 4000 US dollars, I´ve had it for 4 years now and it plays great, its not in my top 10 but its a great guitar. ohh and it does not have a case.... would something like that work good for you ? I think it would be great, if you have any Gibson Les Pauls I can help you with information about those since I am pretty damn good on those guitars. :D

Great that you are making demos of your gear! Keep it up!!!

Does it have a harmonizer effect in it?

I still use mine on a very regular basis. Only drawback is that after about 25 years you need to get it recapped. Other than that, it's a tank. Soundwise. I can get the Fender-y clean all the way up to a hot rodded Marshall. For me, that's all I need.

I have one of these in mint condition hardly ever used brought it over 30+ years ago

Excelente trabajo ,Master.

I had a art sgx2000 ,it had the best hard rock, hair metal tone of any guitar amp or fx unit ,i have used . They are going for a lot of cash on ebay , over £500.

I paired my Rocktron Gainiac 1 with a BBE Sonic Maximizer (at the input it seemed that the gainiac needed it [please try it!]) and sent it through a Mesa Boogie Simul 395. It caused a 3 degree rise in the planet's temperature from all the face-melting gain! 🥲 Now, the Gainiac 2, not sure how that made it out of the gate. It just didn't have it for me.

*Congratulations! I know you are plenty excited.*

I own 3 830 825 and 8080. Extreme petal or extreme Plus are the amp in pedal form. 30 bucks for the pedal. And it will turn any amp into an art DST. They also have the DST 4 Which doesn't have the power amp section. The amps were manufactured 97-99. They're all I use and I've owned about every kind of amp. I had a hiwatt dr201 but that was a totally different beast. Also the old Randall century amps are terrific. But if you're preempt doesn't sound right there is a preamp 12ax7 tube inside you might want to put a vintage one in it. So I know the literacy is going to be bad because I'm talking to my phone so please excuse it. Because since I click on it to post it's going to change everything to what it thinks it should be.

Sounds really good man.

I'll buy that DR1 if you want to sell it :) (it's great lofi-reverb with synths)

oh man that's nice ART collection back there! :D

How have you done the routing ? Where does the sound comes out ?

Cool video Bro ! And nice gears ! Continu making those 🤘

I guess the hush in the rocktron gap could help with the hiss and the clean sounds very good, distorted a bit far away, efx mix too high. This is what my ears are saying. Keep on rocking!

Thinking of buy a prophesy 2 , is it better than the art fx unit in your rack , i had one and it was the best fx unit i have owned .

Great man!
