I’m Ben. Join me in exploring guitar history, guitar builds, deep diving into models and seeing how they are constructed and sound.
I’ve been playing guitar for about 30 years now, but I’d say I really only started to get better the past 6 or 7 years. I was stuck on a plateau for a long time.
This video project is to better myself and my commitment to this instrument and hopefully you can get something out of it too.

That’s killer 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
should make a "my SGs" vid
I do agree that mvave should put the option of naming a preset and also i hope they fix the noticeable signal cut when switching to another preset or opening effects blocks.
I have this. It’s amazing and tweakable out the box
Thanks so much i received mine today!! This review was Great and really helped me so much...I only paid $60 for mine so definitely worth it and much More 👍
That’s great! Cheers!
Happy you’re able to swap guitars. You deserved it considering there are not a ton of Victory videos yet and you probably sold a bunch with your review. I am slightly regretting getting the Smokehouse because it is almost black, hides the pretty good flame I got, and shows swirl marks right out of the box. I just have to get used to that. Complaints aside, I do love the guitar so far. I joke that Gibson electrics are all variations of the Les Paul outside the Firebird. The Victory is definitely not a Les Paul variation. I like the pick ups. Fits the guitar’s vibe.
Haha! I make that same joke too! Is there any chance you can swap yours out Steve? Thanks for the kind words by the way. Cheers!
Thank you very much. Very informative.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Ben, TBH I didn't like the Ebony at all. This green swamp monster is absolutely killer looking. Cheers
I should have gone with my gut originally! Ha! Cheers!
👍
On the review videos I have seen on the Victory they show the matte and burst finish bodies are the same thickness.
Also, the matte finish versions have a matte finish on the neck. Otherwise, both models are identical.
@@sinakaedwards2009 There's also a maple cap on the gloss/flame models
excellent .thank you
Like it !!!!!
Great review. CE stands for classic electric and denotes a PRS that has a bolt on neck. The customs are all glue in set necks. 🙂👍
🤟😁👍This is a very good and thorough review. I have an original 80s Victory MVX with 496R, 500T, and NSX pickups in metallic red. It had a H S H configuration with a switch that gives you 3 single coils and a 5 way selector just like a Strat or 2 humbuckers with a choice of 4 tones. Love that guitar. It was the predecessor to the early 90s M3 with the same electronics. I have 5 of those in different colors. The same 3 pickup configuration was also used on the Les Paul Studio Lite M3 in the 90s (I have 4 of those in different colors, my favorites). I'll have find one of these new Victorys a give it a try. Thanks👍
I guess if you like it.
How are the batteries on the mico plus? Batteries degrade over time, and itll get to a point where it won't hold a charge. Are the batteries removable? Can you charge and play?
Hi. I’ve had the Micro version 1 for several years, and after a charge, i never had it die during any 2 hour jam sessions I’ve never played it completely until it died, but after 2 hours my ears hurt from the headphones, as I imagine a lot of people’s would. Haven’t tried charging it while using it, and I doubt the batteries are easily changeable. Cheers!
@@CompanyGrip How about recording into the PC? Is there a version of the app for the pc?
This is the best review of this unit I have seen, particularly in terms of how it works, and I have watched a lot of them. Thank you, I have learned a lot and without having to sit through a lot of rubbish.
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
Any good for acoustic playing tommy emmanuel songs?
Not sure. I didn’t try any acoustic to be honest with you.
Looks gorgeous, love SGs like this, but the headstock inlays just dont speak to me, something like a Supreme needs something more fancy, it remembers me to an Edwards.
I hear ya. Would be cool if they did something a bit more ornate!
Wired kinda like a 3 pickup Firebird
I gotta get my hands on one of those someday
@@CompanyGrip They are cool, and sound great, but they feel kind of weird to me. They feel really "long"
Excellent tutorial, I have been considering getting one to replace my NUX, this film told me everything I need to know, thanks! Ive got one in the mail!
Awesome!
Great review for the smart guitar I believe is the most interesting launch for 2024 (sorry, Lava Me 4). I love my Enya NEXG 2, and my acoustic Ibaniz and Fender Strat are literally collecting dust on the wall. So I'm pretty big on those smart guitars for their versatility and convenience.
Thanks for checking it out! Cheers!
The very first thing that I noticed about this guitar when you showed it was the cool explorer headstock. I guess I must be an old fan but it looks pretty cool to me. Looks like a very nice guitar just out of my price range but I would definitely buy it if it was less expensive. Cheers mate great video.
Thanks for the comment! I think Explorer headstocks are just not my thing. I have a similar headstock on an old Futura from the early 80s, and it's referred to as the Limp Richard, and I cant get that thought out of my head when I see headstocks like that.
Thanks so much for this video. It answered all my questions prior to my purchase.
Awesome! Glad it helped. Cheers!
Can the Amp sims be shutoff or bypassed if i only want to use the pedals effects and noise gate?
I bought the dragon one it looks nice
Very thorough comparison and a great video!
2500 $ ? So many guitars in that price range that are better just fir starters PRS and why a Pic guard when at that price it should be back routed with a clean front side and no vibrato ? Gibson Fail Again !
Hows the tuning stability? Will it slip out of tune after a day or so of siting?
I didn’t have any problems with it at all. Even when I took it to the beach where the temps were easily 20 degrees below my home, it was fine. 🤷♂️
@@CompanyGrip sounds promising
I think if Fender will release Fender Tone Master Micro with one or two good Amp models and less less Effectors, less less functionalities, it will dominate this market. Sound quality is what I want for amp simulator.
Perhaps. This is a def improvement over the old Micro though. Cheers!
@@CompanyGrip I think this PLUS is a great step and we should celebrate their achievements. Cheers.
Re: pink case with leopard. Should be "inspired by a prostitute's handbag".
Epiphone Is It!
Why does the Epiphone SG Standard '61 you use does not seem like it has a veneer? Is it some sort of different model? or a limited run? All the other standard I've seen have the ugly striped looking veneers.
It is a veneer. I guess it’s one of the better looking ones! Cheers!
That's a beautiful guitar...
Thanks!
Ive bought Blue Chip, Blue Bird, Casein, and Primetone. The Blue Chip is my favorite. It's got a great sound, and whatever it's made from makes it easy to hold on to. The primetne are next for me. I'm going to experiment and make a few of my own out of various materials and substances.
That’s cool! Let me know what you discover. I’m always on the hunt for the best pick!
I think the only thing that holds the pedal back for me is that there are no distortions or overdrives, but so far you can get some good gain tones by having the amps, plus with the ANN Tone Capturing technology included with it I don't think it would really matter in the end.
You get a boost, compressor and and gate, which I don’t understand. The mini efx has like 12 different stomps in it. I’m gonna buy that to pair it
@@adamstein9333 boost is just a volume boost, essentially to make the preset "louder", Gate is just noise gate to there's no noise and compressor is.....a compressor.
Looks good but not spectacular. I dont know, I like more how vintage Victorys look. But is far from being a classic Gibson fiasco, I think this model would appeal to many people.
I think so too, but I wish it had a tremolo.
The master volume nob is usable while in preset mode.
Just..... Ugly.
I love it, but the price is crazy. Need an Epiphone Prophecy model with no pickguard, figured top, and EMGs or Fishmans.
True!
It's a Kramer.
Good grief! When I am blasting it out onstage, I would have no time to finger dance around the push pull switches to change pickup tone! That’s why I use Kramer Barettas with single Duncan JBs from the 1980’s! Ok for bedroom players though.
Looks like a Kramer 1980’s era.
Very much so
Is patch switching seamless and instant without a delay?
What a ugly guitar
It's ugly they're trying hard to out do fender. It's a cross between Ibanez and a strat and. Strat. Shame on Gibson.
That is a sweet guitar
Thanks!
I ordered mine yesterday....
Awesome! Hope you like it as much as I’ve been enjoying it!
@@CompanyGrip thanks
Really nice variety in the pick ups and controls.
Indeed! cheers!
To those who wants some captures of different tones i can send you
@@johnhowellseroje4995 please send! Just got it today And I’m blown away. Period! What’s the Pocketx and Silverbox? Hopefully silverbox has tons overdrives and ambient effects that people call shoegaze? Dunno But I’m in. I pair this with a jogg and Mooer Radar. Wall of sound! I can’t believe this was 48 dollars!
It looks a little clunky to me, but I hope they do well. Not very optimistic. You can’t compete with a strap if you don’t offer a whammy bar. Also, not a deal killer but the headstock should’ve have straight string runs the old one.
Totally agree Bob! I’m not a whammy bar guy, but I agree, how do you compete without one? Also agree about the headstock. Throwing the Explorer headstock on there was just lazy. Cheers!
@@CompanyGrip thank you for your reply, and for forgiving my typos!
