A large part of the amp disappearing/getting smaller too is the fact most kids are just sitting in their rooms recording instead of playing out. It was very revealing to me when I started looking online for used equipment to get back to analog gear. I wanted a 2x12 for my head but they were a bit scarce and ridiculously priced. However, 4x12 cabs were everywhere and under $200! Marshall 4x12 were a dime a dozen used, but looked forever for a half decent 2x12 that was in my price range.

how to remove bloomy bassy end of my katana artist, it's driving me crazy, it's too bassy, if I use eq and cut low freq, sounds loosing body and sounds thin. thanks

god help us ...knows nothing

Lol stopped watching when I saw you have john mayers sig. Lol gayyyyy

Great video. The Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster sings. Great practical tips for us. Thanks!

You said that the amp wants volume. How much are we talking about? I'd be comfortable playing it between 75-85 db but not 90-100.

Always leave well-enough alone. CV's don't need upgrades. Upgrade playing skills not guitars.😂

thanks brother, im buying jc 40, selling my evh

Played and jammed with players who use the katana …. You get what you pay for

This is mislabeled. There's no mention of a Boss Katana 110.

Always loved the sound of that album in general. Minimal tracks and you can hear the sound of the space in the room like it has room to breathe. Always liked Sylvia Massey’s productions.

Would you recommend pairing it with a volume attenuator pedal like JHS little black amp box or boss tube amp expander?

I really enjoy your videos excellent demos that are tailored to a large audience of people who just use the panel. Great job! I just got upgraded from the Artist mk2 to the Artist Gen 3. Hope you get hold of one of those . Thanks!!

I just bought one. I am learning to use it. I loud 12 backingtracks but one of them doesn’t work. I don’t know why… I loaded in the same way that the other … but it doesn’t work.. 😢.

Thanks for teaching us

You're a hero thank you so much! Hardly any decent videos on products it annoying

Awesome video!

I love this video. It's super cool and authentic that she's in there too and you just kept rolling. We are one of the many artist that went the Roland SPDX route to load simply backing tracks. We're a duo and while we do switch off playing various instruments on stage, we needed a way to trigger drums and back up vocals and bass and pretty much the meat and potatoes of the song while we embellish the performance on top. So ya, we took the time to learn the spdx, however, after seeing this video, this is what we're going to switch to. Especially cause it can be used as a pedal to kick with the foot. The SPDX you need an external trigger pedal to launch the backing tracks otherwise ya gotta have it up and mounted and tap or hit it with a stick. Definitely designed for drummers who are behind the kit and are running the click throughout the set and such. Anywho, long message, just wanted to write and say rock on for making this and never stop creating music. :) Cheers ~ The Parker Story

There’s not enough distortion.

I don't like it when companies release multiple versions of hardware products in a short period of time. That's why im glad there is no kemper 2.

The titles of their albums are hard to remember? Try with KGLW. A led zeppelin thing? Not really, Zeppelin named 4 albums “led zeppelin” and all the other titles were on the shorter side

Nice demo...always nice to have a solid state amp around for when the tube amp is in the shop, I might add.😊I have an old Roland cube 80xl and its never needed repair.😊😊I keep a small tube amp around, just cause I like to have that sparkly fender sound as well...no more fender twins in my older age.😊😊❤God bless

Just wanted to ask you if you prefer the Epiphone Slash model J45 over the regular Epiphone IBG J45?

Damn! I would be pissed! That's why I hate ordering online sometimes!

The reason that it sounds muddy on the lowest power setting is because your not driving the speaker at its optimal level. A 10 inch speaker would tighten up the lower volume fidelity! I’ve found that a modest tweak up on the treble helps.

Goldie Locks and the 3 bears for Fender Reverb fans…

Thanks I have one also

Yes, Mohegan Sun Arena is an excellent place to see a concert. Just the past couple of months George Thorogood. John Fogerty, Roger Daltrey, Brad Paisley, Elvis Costello, Daryl Hall, Counting Crows, Cheap Trick and others have played there and the free Wolf Den lounge on weekends features a lot of up-and-coming acts, local bands, as well as other groups that don't have as large followings. If you're a gambler, you get free tickets to all the concerts. I was at the Greta van Fleet concert and actually the sound levels there were pretty tolerable. (There are bands that exceed listenable levels like Shinedown and the heavy metal shows.) What Greta was doing was using heavy, heavy compression to make things sound louder and it results in ear fatigue as every note is pushed to 100%. (Unfortunately, most bands are using too much compression.) I felt Greta was using it to excess as well as adding echo and verb to the vocals. I couldn't understand the lyrics to any of the songs. I didn't understand the comparisons to Led Zeppelin I had read about either. I thought they sounded like the group Yes. Josh Kiszka has an incredible voice, but he doesn't sing clearly and isn't disciplined in using it. The rest of the band is clearly talented, but they're not disciplined and they're all over the place musically. And they could use some songwriting lessons. As for the flame cannons, I guess I've just seen them used by bands too many times. They're more annoying than dramatic. My wife and I usually stay to the very end of every concert, especially since we've seen some great encores from artists, but we had enough of Greta and left either during the last song or the second to last song. We just had enough. We found The Beaches to be more accessible and more enjoyable. My wife did hear that some Greta fans were disappointed with the band. They said the sound wasn't good and they've been better in the past. Anyway, I hope you will make it out to Mohegan Sun again. It's an excellent place to see a concert, and for a small arena, they get acts that usually play larger venues. On recent tours by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Bruce Springsteen, it's been the smallest venues those artists played. Most artists comment on how well the casino treats them.

Great video. A lot of actually useful info. Tired of videos that come across as commercials. This isnt that. And that is good. Thanks.

Weight has nothing to do with tone and neither do sustain blocks. After all these years why don’t guitars just read up on fundamental material science and acoustics.

You could have went with a left hand bridge

Look at you with every single Katana model in your room. A true believer!

It’s still a bullshit mic’d cab sound coming from the katana to my understanding. That is one of the things that pisses me off so terribly with modelers and the Katana.

Try ESP LTD Deluxe 1000 series. The quality seems to be better than Epiphone and Gibson.

Hi Jay! Yes, the first batch of Room18 songs (The New, Final Episode, 2nd Stage, and Bundy) were recorded using a Marshall Artist 3203 head into a 4x10 cab. It had a solid state preamp section, with 1x12AX7 and 2x EL34s for power. It was only 30 watts but sounded bigger! IMHO it sounded great. I think my favorite sound from that is the rhythm guitar on the breakdown in 2nd stage. Kudos to Russ Martin too for making us sound good. That amp lasted until I blew it up (I was clueless about amps and think I left it powered on at some point without being plugged into a speaker/load). From there I went and bought a Marshall JCM600 (60 watts) tube head that I wish I never sold. It sounded good but I think the 3203 was punchier. -Rob M.

I installed these on my classic vibe Tele about a week ago. The hardest for me was removing the old bushings. Putting stress on the neck didn't seem like a good idea to me. I rigged up a little crude jig with a c clamp and small socket. I was able to press out the bushing. At first I thought I was going to have to do the same thing. All I did was take a slightly larger drill bit to take off just a hair. It was like counter sinking when you drill. I did it by hand and just removed a hair of wood. I didn't even have to do the whole hole. So I am glad to have used the Hipshots. Way better than the stock tuners. Plus I could remove the string tree. Good video and I think you have a new luthier/musician in training. Good to see a young person having curiosity in your guitars.

I bought the epiphone sg a few months ago and a 490r and 490t pickups. It really opened it up. The stock pickups are pretty good but I wanted the 490's. My brother has the Gibson version of the sg and they both play the same and sound the same. After comparing the two guitars, there is a difference in the head and neck area. The epiphone has just alittle more meat that area which that area on gibsons are prone to break. All in all, I love my sg.

Thanks Jay this was really enjoyable. I know the deal with selling and buying gear, it's a sickness.

Whoa! That chorus….found my amp. I’m a Johnny Marr guy…this is magical. I don’t care about high gain or huge crunch…

Love it

Troppo compressore

They can ace surf music and they pick up the woodiness of hollow/semi hollow electric guitars very well. P90 pickups sound great too. Tone is easy to control.

breaking up is hard to do...

Great demo. Make sure that you cherish every moment that your daughter spends with you because they grow up fast. They are very precious in the Lord’s eyes. She is a darling little girl and she loves her daddy. This is what life is all about..🙏🙏

Sooo helpful! Thank you!

The knobs are 2 pickup volume 1 main tone 1 main volume with treble bleed. Gretsch is owned by Gretsch, Bigsby is owned by Gretsch, Fender does the marketing, shipping etc. In my experience Gretsch's will play everything from chicken picken country to metal, Ive owned hollow body, jet, corvette models. Single coil, ft and bt pickups, all good. Had a Setzer model but it was stolen.

They do just drop in most cases.

I have the Twin. Here's what I think. Drive pedals don't sound right, no matter what. At unity volume, they are going to work best. But, then they sound tinny & fizzy. Tone Master Amps are awesome. But they are meant to sound like the amp the uh are emulating, without the use of pedals. I run mine at home on the lowest setting & crank the volume to get some drive. Bliss.

Grea video dude. Thanks for posting.

It's too clean. It would make a great studio preamp.
