Thanks for this great video. Man, I've been following your channel for years but ( besides the Sykes tones) this is the best I've heard you sound through an amp. Ever.
My guitar teacher had, and probably still owns, a snake skin CAA OD100. I don't know if it was built like that or someone before him had it re-tolexed but man, I've never heard an amp sound like that in my life. I could pull everything through hit: fusion, crispy cleans, classic rock tones and even downtuned chugga chugga. What an amp.
The song you play for the intro that you called a noodle fest was a perfect mix of lead tone effects and backing track all put together to create a story without words and an emotional experience that’s almost unheard of instant chills and that’s rare .... amazing job keep it up and greetings from Nova Scotia Canada
when you have few guitar, cabs and other gear, this is the kind of amp you have to explore during over 10 years to really grasp the reach of all its possibilities. IMO, if you have any OD100 series(CAA PT100 included), you have the best amp ever and it can get anything done if you really work on your playing skills. + today I was stunted to realize my SE100 can sound like a CL+ if I decrease the Q=Filter to minimum with my Bill & Becky Lawrence L500 pickup. This with the mid scooped at 2 and the rest at 5, including the gain , volume at 1... so no excuse. These are a life time keeper.
I've had 2 of these heads. I still have one. The first and second sound the same. Anyway, when I was playing live with a band, I used this amp because it was different from the other guitarist's 5150II (6505+ now). Whether it was clean or dirty, I always got compliments on my tone. One of the sound guys described it like, "It sounds like a Marshall, but it's very round. I haven't ever heard anything like it, but it sounds great dirty. The cleans are beautiful." I was mainly playing Les Pauls and a PRS Singlecut through it. There were a few songs where we used baritones tuned to B, and it held together there also.
The second you started playing the Paul, I said to myself - he's playing that Local H tune. Thank you, brought me right back to when that was all over the radio. Please do a deep dive into the ART SGX2000Express - it's too much fun and has tons of stuff
Never heard of this amp. Sounds killer. Really cool ch1 fender/ ch2 jtm45 vibe. I have your channel on notifications, and am always super stoked when there's a new video. Loving the 80s guitar mag overviews too. I lost a bunch to basement water flooding, but still have a couple boxes and enjoy looking back at them too.
Great Mike! I have a caa standard 2006. For me the main characteristics of this amp are the tons of tones you can get from your playng experience, the guitar pot interaction, the loudness, and every little parts of the signal chain. You can't understand how sensitive the od100 is just listening to it..
Dude I've wanted this amp for years because I saw a Reb beach demo and it sounded unbelievable. . It has a lovely warm soft lead tone . I didn't realize it didn't have all that much gain. Funny you played that mean streets riff we just recently added that song to our set list weird coincidence.
Wow, I didn't know Local H, at first I thought you were playing a Magnetico riff. I was like "He knows Rafa, cool", I was mistaken. That's what I love about this channel, Not only do I get to learn about gear and mixing stuff, I also get to learn about cool bands I might have missed out on. Thanks Michael!
That orange jhs sounds pretty damn bitchin. I’ve been looking for a new compressor as mine died months ago, so it looks like I might pick up that orange jhs. Glad you showed that. I had been struggling to choose a compressor. Not anymore. I have spoken!
I've never listened to Mike Landau but there's major Tambu/Mindfields era Toto vibes on the intro tune! Although personally I've never enjoyed Lukather's tones on Mindfields this sounds great! (Commented before you played any Toto haha)
Luke and Landau were tight. You have to imagine that these guys’ styles all rubbed off on each other over the years. I can definitely hear it too. I love Luke’s Mondfields tone.
@@chiricm yeah mad how they went to school together! I find with Luke, apart from the first album, Toto IV, and his current setup I've never particularly liked any of his guitar tones, although they fit the production perfectly
I believe he used the Rivera Knuclehead on Mindfields.. Never liked the sound of that amp.. However, Luke would still sound great through a Peavey keyboard-amp... On Tambu I believe he still used his great Bradshaw-stuff. CAE 3+SE and VHT power amps.. GREAT, great stuff. Btw; Luke and Landau were classmates. They've known each other since they were kids.
@@EddieVanAidan Guitarsound and taste are both very subjective.. However, you'd might check out his great "Candyman" from '94.. It was released both as a solo-album by Lukather and as a group effort (Los Lobotomys). Sony Records. The guitartones from that record are the best I've ever heard.
Can always tell when an amp’s not working for you in these vid’s..lol This amp sounded stuck between Fender and Marshall but not in a good way. Would like to try a PT 100 one day but the few CAA’s I’ve tried in the past were all uninspiring. The one good tone I heard was with the comp on the clean channel for chord stuff.
This is the amp I'd love John Suhr to bring back. Not sure why there's little thought to it, unless the PT covers too much similar ground. I know John Loves gain.
@@DanCareaga to my ears it doesn't. The mids on the PT are totally different. I had it and I have the Classic Plus now. The PT sounds thinner and way more gainy, again to my ears. This amp is RAW! In the best way..
If you want to run it at lower volume without the Fryette.... Engage the FX Loop without anything plugged into (or with) and use the FX Loop Level as the Master.
The on-screen texts describing the amp differences could stay on screen a bit longer! Since a viewer is trying to listen to what you're saying and reading a different thing as text at the same time, they go by very quickly :) Cool amp, cool sounds. Also Lexicons to drool for days...
Clicks video hears Landau riff. *Cancels Plans*
Which song is that riff from?
@@tube33139 The song is I'm Buzzed but check the entire album out its great.
Hats off. That intro solo was taaaaasty. Tone & soul for days.
It's Michael Landau's I'm buzzed !! A TASTY TONEFUL SOULFUL TRACK !!!
“I’m Buzzed” nice vid Michael!
Thanks for this great video. Man, I've been following your channel for years but ( besides the Sykes tones) this is the best I've heard you sound through an amp. Ever.
outstanding.. that Landau riff was the first thing I ever heard from him a long time ago... very nice work sir!
My guitar teacher had, and probably still owns, a snake skin CAA OD100. I don't know if it was built like that or someone before him had it re-tolexed but man, I've never heard an amp sound like that in my life.

Mikey!!!!! Dammmmmmm fine playing. Landau would appreciate the nod. Fantastic episode as per Always. Happy New Year Brother
No butchering in sight. Sounded amazing.
Your playing and phrasing on that solo was a pleasure to listen to. Playlist when driving for sure.
The playing is tasty I just smile and close my eyes and feel the music.
The song you play for the intro that you called a noodle fest was a perfect mix of lead tone effects and backing track all put together to create a story without words and an emotional experience that’s almost unheard of instant chills and that’s rare .... amazing job keep it up and greetings from Nova Scotia Canada
Hi Dan. Wow, thanks for the kind words!
@@BigHairyGuitars you welcome Michael it’s literally a year later and I still stand by that statement! Big fan of your channel!

Gosh Michael, your playing consistently gets better and better. Really well done video, keep shredding my dude.
Now I miss my old CAE Standard +....it was a little unforgiving yet very rewarding at the same time. Big phat tone.
Love Landau and LOVE the CAE amp classic. Always wanted that amp. Listening to this I still do.
Great nod to Local H. All The Kids Are Right is one of the most underrated tunes of the 90s.
A new Kemper pack is WAY overdue maestro. How about a LA session players of the 80s pack?

A Landau riff and a Local H riff in the same video... HAHA thats so awesome. Love it.

great tones!! I love "I'm Buzzed", great job on that. Nailed it!
That tone is awesome 🔥
Oh no... I think I need one of these. Dang it, Michael!!!
I've got on available if you're interested. ;)
As always, your guitar playing and tones in this video are amazing!
you have an amazing style of playing...I really enjoy your videos
Amazing! I got goosebumps for this Sound on 0:44 .... great on this times
Every video you give us is a gift and I love your playing

Suono spettacolare lo acquisterei volentieri, 👍 grazie per il tuo video, sempre dettagliato
Landau and Luke riffs, how are you gonna beat that!
Some of your tastiest playing Michael! These tones are so silky smooth, love that amp and that Vintage S.
That intro chord progression has such an EVH vibe
Tasty playing, and thank you for trying things out the way that I would have too if I had the chance! 😊
Dang that Local H riff is great. Haven't heard that in a while and I need to remedy that.

I busted it out tonight on my axe fx and I was like wait, what even is this?
Best deal out there. You can pick up an OD100 SE + for under 2K.
Your playing is off the charts in this one, Michael!
Damn, that intro is good bro skis… keep on rockin
Yes!! Now I can learn this tune! Throw 10 tu es together and ma ki e a record as already. You're a very soulful player. Atb - Luther
That shade of pink look so classy 🤘
Killer phrasing Michael!!! Really impressed with this video across the board.
I've been looking at the JHS pulp N' peel. As always nice playing and thanks for showing off some gear while keeping it copasetic.
Yes, super nice Michael! Damn, I sold all my 80th and 90th rackstuff atvthe end of the 90th............
Saw a couple of them several times, but I never thought it would sound That awesome! Great video!
THAT amp and Bogner Ecstacy. 2 of my top 5
such a fine amp and very very loud, great playing Michael
Holy camoley. Some killer playing with tones to match. I'd love to see a video with some all out Thrash destruction.
It was such a great video. Thank you for your work and effort, I always discover new things watching your videos. Love the schmoo

The amp that Reb was playing is PT 100, one of its Siblings, which is more versatile but slightly different. That one is also wonderful tho
@@Mold81 Yeah you're right it was a pt 100....An early version of it. I knew all this I just forgot . It's been years.
Wow, I didn't know Local H, at first I thought you were playing a Magnetico riff. I was like "He knows Rafa, cool", I was mistaken.
That's what I love about this channel, Not only do I get to learn about gear and mixing stuff, I also get to learn about cool bands I might have missed out on. Thanks Michael!
After this I researched Michael Landau.....whole new world. ✌️👌😎🎸
never heard this side of your playing... so awesome man. killer job
Amazing tone. Well done, Michael.
Seems like a pretty polarizing amp. It definitely sounds like it does a thing!
such great amps
That sounds great. Awesome playing good sir.
Nice!!! "I"m Buzzed" !!!!
This is like a cross between a mesa boogie and bogner ecstasy
I had a CAA Standard +, and it was awesome.
everyone says it so it must be true, that intro was gold
Great playing...superb - the lick at 0:25 is sublime - beautiful, congrats...fuckin tone...whoa..
One of the best amps out there.
Such a tasty collection of chords!
I’ve had that Local H riff in my head for a week but couldn’t remember who the band was? Thanks ;-)
Great sounding amp and nice intro solo to the vid!
Michael plays Gipsy Train>>>My heart goes faster😂!!!
Outstanding tones in the intro track💜
Man I’m jealous of that guitar. So sweet
he's jealous of it, YOU are envious of it.
Great job mike !! Beautiful tones
greatest OD100 cl+ promotion ever.
That orange jhs sounds pretty damn bitchin. I’ve been looking for a new compressor as mine died months ago, so it looks like I might pick up that orange jhs. Glad you showed that. I had been struggling to choose a compressor. Not anymore. I have spoken!
Excellent jam to kick it off!!
Thanks for the content. You really deserve more subs and views.
First!! Oooooh this is going to be a good one! Hi Michael 🙋♂️
That was cool, great tones. Thanks.
Still perplexed that this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
I've never listened to Mike Landau but there's major Tambu/Mindfields era Toto vibes on the intro tune! Although personally I've never enjoyed Lukather's tones on Mindfields this sounds great!
(Commented before you played any Toto haha)

Never liked the sound of that amp..

CAE 3+SE and VHT power amps.. GREAT, great stuff.

Sony Records.
The guitartones from that record are the best I've ever heard.
I think it's really funny I prefer Friedman guitars and Suhr amps rather than the opposite. Sounds awesome!
Damn! Nice job...sounds fantastic!
Another great video, Michael! Thanks man!
I like a super clean humbucker tone like Holdsworth re:channel 1
Outstanding intro! 👌🤘🔥
What a tasty intro! Great content, as always!
This thing sounds killer.
Local H - Copacetic (Guitar outfitted w/ bass pickups!)
Shalom Michael
What a tone wow
Local H….damn good riff
I would turn down the feedback on the delay just a touch ? Regardless of that ? What you doin sounds great !
That neal schon tone 👌

i agree. pain in the ass to play. sounded good. but not great. uninspiring is a great way to put it.
Big hairy Landau👊🏼🎸
This is the amp I'd love John Suhr to bring back. Not sure why there's little thought to it, unless the PT covers too much similar ground. I know John Loves gain.
I own a PT-100 It definitely covers 99 percent of this amp.
@@DanCareaga to my ears it doesn't. The mids on the PT are totally different. I had it and I have the Classic Plus now. The PT sounds thinner and way more gainy, again to my ears. This amp is RAW! In the best way..
Spot on, Nicholas! 🎯
If you want to run it at lower volume without the Fryette.... Engage the FX Loop without anything plugged into (or with) and use the FX Loop Level as the Master.
Just a tip, you can pull 2 Tubes and it helps as F :)
this amp sound awesome

After you tightened it up it sounded much better. It can get pretty flubby on the bottom end.
Nice, always wanted one of these
Wizard is the greatest Marshall ever lol fr i love them
Fabulous.
