The Vintage-Inspired Future of Epiphone?! || Epiphone DC Pro Demo/Review
The phase reversal sounds on only one pickup were kinda useless because, to my understanding, the phase reversal switch flips the polarity of the pickups and only makes a difference to the sound when both pickups are engaged. It's basically the Peter Green mod.
yep!
Nerds!
oh shit i need to change my patreon profile picture lol thats so old. keep up the great work dude
I realize I am kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online?
Great guitar. I’m ordering the wild ivy today! Great review dude. Keep them coming!
This reminds me so much of Dan's builds (Guns and Guitars). Lots of
tonal options, real fun.
I really like the phase reversal in all positions. It almost sounds like you're playing through a wah when you play a solo lick. I never cared for splitting due to the pronounced volume drop.
Thinking about getting one, such a beautiful guitar.
Dude....Off topic but just saw one of your mod videos hit 1,500,000 views. Congrats.
Del Rey is an awesome guitar. I wish I never went through that Malmsteen phase and scalloped the fretboard.
Lol. Thats great man. I did the dame thing to a strat back in the 90's.
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 It pains me every time I look at that guitar. I even went so far as to paint my last name in the 12th fret. I figured if I want to play like Malmsteen, I need to have the ego as well. I do want to get the fretboard replaced. It was such a versatile guitar.
We all went through that phase, I think. I traded a perfectly good Tele for a Peavey Tracer; which was a nice guitar but the hockey stick headstock is dated.
Nice looking guitfiddle ,thanks for the review Hunter !
1:57 Rockin' the hospital socks. Nice!
Hi Hunter, are you going to make a review on new Jared James Nichols signature epiphone "old glory"?
It was one of coolest guitars at Namm, imo.
That is a cool guitar
Great job playing man !!! I liked the string scrap with the wah. Creativity at its best.
Bryan Keith agreed, I’m not a huge fan of his playing style and I mostly come for the reviews, but this is my favorite so far. Great tone
Phase reverse affects how the two pickups interact with each other and only affects the tone when you’ve got both selected...in theory. Unless my ears are deceiving me, it’s not affecting the tone with only neck or bridge selected, and if it does, that switch does something else than reversing the phase.
Man does the mesa deliver! Great tone & great riffs too Hunter 😆
Liam Burke he’s playing through his Marshall DSL
Amazing! Have you thought about demoing a Reverend guitar on your channel? It also has a treble bleed circuit AND their proprietary bass contour
Nice Riffage Budz. Great looking Guitar. Thanks Man.
Has a lot of very usable sounds and looks great too nice job Epiphone . Thanks for the vid great job as always.
Man I love how it sounds clean, really nice!
Thats a wicked guitar, stevie
Great review Hunter, thank you. Epiphone has been knocking it out of the park lately.
Looks totally like my Epiphone Tak Matsumoto DC Les Paul!!! (profile pic)
Personally I'm a huge fan of this body shape. A lespaul that is actually lighter and has good fret access. My go to guitar for whenever I need to play standing up.
I have this guitar, same colour. I bought it new, from a shop, who photographed it and eventually delivered it to me, once I had made my mind up to buy it.
I couldn’t understand why it was called Dark Cherry, as it’s not what I would call it. However, on the photograph I was sent it looked almost blood orange and I wasn’t that impressed. I looked on line and still all this orange. However, I decided to buy it and having received it, I’m so pleased with the colour and the dark veins that run through it. It’s nothing like it photographs. It’s quite something else. It’s a fabulous guitar. The shop, Bonners of Eastbourne, did a proper set up for me f.o.c.
I got one cant wait for it to come in
Nice job on this hunter !! Hope your having fun at TGU !!
Man, they should have that headstock on all the "normal" Epi models.
Imagine how ugly an Explorer would look with that headstock 🤮🤮🤮
Looks awesome!
when are you gonna review that Head signature that you have in your background
Really nice riff writing as always ! 👍
That is a beautiful guitar by any measure! Btw, phase only works with 2 pickups on -surprised you didn't hear that.
I really like this guitar, this is the headstock all epi’s should have if they’re not gonna use the Gibson one. But I actually really liked the Gibson “Modern” model that flopped this kinda reminds me of that. Seems like a lot of value built into this guitar, and it is it’s own thing.
Wow. I wait a lot for this!
I hope that everything it's ok in the #TGU this year! Also, something New for this year, like announcements, new Harley Bentons desing by agufish or something?
Did you have a fan on while recording the talking parts? I heard a quiet low background rumble.
A LP w/an xtra horn & a touch of neck dive. Mojave fade looks really cool.
Awesome review.
Cool video as always. I really like those inlays. Sheraton II have them too! I will probably get one down the road :D
I know you are not a man of tutorials, but i would love to see a short video explaining how you set up yourself for these recordings. Not a studio tour, but the process involved on Choosing the amp, connecting it to the torpedo live and recording ¿Do you monitor thru the 2x12 every time? The roccats?
P.d.: When its the semihollow review coming!
I was hoping you would review one of these. Sounds really good. The phase reverse deal is really cool. Especially with both pick ups being used. Almost gives it a built effect like a wah and phaser pedal. At least to my ear
I like this design I wish Epiphone would do more stuff inspired by their past like they could do this a wilshire a coronet and whatever else solid bodies the made and put in something called the vintage collection but idk tho🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
The Wilshire Phant-O-Matic is a hell of a piece of hardware you can still buy new, and they've redone the Coronet a few times. I still have the Wilshire (and an older model Pro), but I didn't care for the Coronet with the fake OBL's in it and traded it for an SG Pro.
Id love to see a new version of the Epiphone SG:
- pick up options
- color options
- unlackered neck
-> Perfect guitar!
When you reverse the phase on an "entire single pickup" (may that be a single coil or a humbucker) it doesn't change anything in the resulting sound.
To get an "out-of-phase" type of sound you need to invert the phase of one pickup running together with another pickup, or, if you can, reverse the phase of just one coil on a humbucker pickup.
Great playing and video as always Hunter! This new Epi sounds killer! I think I'm getting G.A.S again...
Great Sound
Holy hell that thing sounds good.
That was a killer song Hunter!
liked the tone a lot on this guitar
I cant stand the lighter color of the Pau Ferro necks. My Explorer came with one when it was actually supposed to be rosewood. Well, that is something that is not true. It came when Epi was I assume in the process of no longer using the rosewood because of import laws but i was not aware of that at the time.
I simply lightly sanded the neck and dyed it with ebony ink and it looks much better now since it is the Alpine White on the guitar.
Dark necks just look better on white guitars. Other than that i own 4 Epiphone guitars and basses and love them all.
Hey Hunter, I’ve heard rumors that the DC PRO is somewhat neck heavy, so there’s a bit of neck dive. Thoughts on it?
Hunter, that Epi DC Pro is very unique and versatile! As always an entertaining and wholesome video. Do you find the Pau Ferro on the frets as warm as Rosewood? Since most guitars can't be build with Rosewood and better yet Ebony fretboards due to price points, what is your opinion?
Awesome review. I’d love to see them bring back more variations of the Wilshire/Crestwood. I own a Casino, but more and more I feel the need to buy another model that’s unique to Epiphone.
I will had brought one if the selector was down near the pots.
Those guys will understand one day??!!!😕
Your best work is done in your comfy socks:)!
Just waiting for Epiphone to release a Buckethead signature white les paul with killswitch or Tak Matsumoto ones worldwide.
is that an Epiphone Custom 24 :stare:
If you haven't checked it out already, I would be very interested in the EMG loaded Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul Custom. It's very similarly speced to this guitar, but with an ebony fretboard, EMG's, a translucent black flame maple veneer and all black hardware. It reminds me a bit of the Gibson Les Paul Custom that Matt Tuck from Bullet For My Valentine uses to warm up behind the scenes or as a last resort back up.
Watched A TON of your videos & I gotta say YOU FUCKING KILLEDDDD ITTTT in this one. Dirty sleazy riffing 👌🏽 great tone great playing superbly done ✅
Thank you 🙏
Very cool song!
Epiphone is sick
Great looking Guitar ☮️
Love how this thing looks, but please tell me you will review the new juniors from harley benton when they launch.
I realise it might not be your style, but could you do more clean/low gain tone comparisons? I find the super high gain metal stuff can drown out the differences in tone. Loved your video!
What flavor of the drink drops (liquid water enhancer) is that on your desktop? I'm fond of the Fruit Punch ones myself. Oh, yes I dig the guitar but being left-handed....sigh...
I thought the phase reversal only works in the middle position?
Yes it does, W/either PU Split as well together, With a single PU it makes no change at all. You need both on to have the freq cancelation in efect.
Great to see an actual Epiphone guitar. Not a dumbed down Gibson. I would love to see you show us the Wiltshire Pro. A take on the 60's Wiltshire U.S. Epi's. I would imagine it sounds a lot like an SG.
Does epiphone shield the cavities on their higher ends? My gen 1 prophecy was not shielded
Should i Buy this or the prs se Santana?
I wish more companies would switch from Rosewood to Pau Ferro, I really wanted an ESP Random Star but ESP uses Rosewood and I don't want to deal with CITES
I personally just can't find an appreciation for the look of this model but it's nice to see Epiphone trying something new and some people seem to really like it
It would be awsome if Gibson brought Epiphone back to the states. More than just a custom shop off the side of a Gibson factory. Have a full line of usa Epi guitars. Id be more interested in a USA epiphone than a Gibson.
Gibson is usa made epiphone
I really like that Lee Malia stuff
Phase reverse works only in midle position. You change nothing when you use it on one pickup
Descent sounds. Killer features. I think it would kill with PAF splittable pickups. Those ones just lack a tad bit of warmth.
Hey man. As far as I know the out of phase feature only effects the tone when the both pickups are active (middle position)
Do a receive of the Gibson cm
Serious question. How neck heavy is this guitar? Trogly reviewed the DC Pro as well and he got a pretty bad one in terms of neck heaviness.
Neck heaviness and neck dive on any guitar is a result of poor strap button placement and can be solved and button the strap buttons elsewhere on the guitar. Leaves a little in the back of the guitar which sucks but not a major deal.
@@misterknightowlandco Exactly. Which is why I specifically asked Hunter the question.
The thing is, the DC pro already has its strap buttons in the best positions for balance that it can possibly have. So if the guitar is still neck heavy despite the current strap button placement then that's an inherent design flaw on Epiphone's part.
@@T00DEEPBLUE ideally the back strap button should be on the neck heel area, not the heel itself but in that vicinity on the body. Barring that get a wide strap?
@@clamus68 I disagree in the case of this guitar. The strap button should ideally be as far forwards of the guitar's body as possible. The further forwards it is, the less weight there will be to tip the headstock downwards. In this case the tip of the horn is further forwards of the body than the neck heel. So that's the best place it can possibly be.
I have an epi Tak matsumoto DC Les Paul that has that same body shape. The body is quite abit lighter than a standard LP and that makes the neck seem heavier. If your strap tends to slip then neck dive can be an issue. But regardless that Tak DC is my favourite guitar to play standing up.
What exactly does phase do?
You should do a review on Epiphones new Lzzy Hale outfit
That looks sick.. reminds me of ovation ultra gp
Show us the headless HB!
Hmm.. possible future purchase
waiting for the harley benton Head**** like...
Dude same ever since I saw that in his ig story
Soon :P
Wrong signal chain in the description box
This or the Agile al3200 mcc?
This guitar is slick, throw some Seymour Duncan’s in there and it seems perfect
I like the guitar. I would love it, however, the scale is a little too small.
And cool Form
PLEASE shine the light on me, HOW the cut away on TOP makes HIGH strings more accessible on the BOTTOM????
stefan babic some people like to anchor their thumb against the bass side of the neck. With a singlecut you will end up having to stretch to reach the highest frets
BOING! That is one sweet bitch! Kind of reminds me of the awesome Yamaha SG series, have you ever demo'd one of them Hunter?
I have to get my itchy hands on one of those DC Pro mamas!!
Jack -Canada
Id rather have one of those new Les paul jrs Gibson’s pumping out. This is cool though.
This sounds so modern.
It's pretty versatile, depending on the player
Hi Hunter. :)
You wah my socks off.
I'm In an internal conflict, on the one hand I love the sound, the neck and the colors, but that extra horn ... mmmm
The lower cutaway seems weird
I wish Gibson would just give in and let Epiphone use the Gibson headstock already.
Push/push pots would have been nicer, trying to pull a speed knob out with sweaty hands is awkward.
This is pretty much modded out of the box how i was running the Ibanez ART that i was using for everything for near on a decade.
Wish Harley Benton would Redo the CST-24's with the Selector Switch located like this Epiphone is also on the PRS McCarty 594's as for the Epiphone beautiful except for that Stupid Headstock time to go back to the 90's Early 2000's Japanese open Book Gibson Headstock ...
You're a guitarist,Harry..
Great review. I personally hated how this guitar sounds so here's an instance of you saving me from being interested in something that's not for me. Cheers
Epiphone's take on a PRS
The switch on the upper horn looks so out of place
Give me that guitar frieéend
