Yes, a great video. I love how your videos genuinely feel like hanging out with a knowledgeable friend, not watching a TH-cam "Celebrity". No bullshit, humility and awesome advice. Love you man!
Such a cool video Euge. No extra hype added to the video/explanation like other youtube content creators, just good pragmatic approaches to guitar tones. Would love some more playthrough/song tutorial videos too, those are great.
Wow. Euge you got it down brother. We already knew that. You need a new challenge. You need to take the worst amps and show how to get the best sound out of them.
@20 min in, you demonstrate why the Marshall JCM800 is a bit of a one-trick pony. The EQ range is a narrow road. BTW, the EQ range on a Marshall Origin 50 will impress you for Marshall.
Goddamnit Euge makes that Mark V sound mean! I swear he has high octane sauce in his fingers. Every time I hear him play that boogie it sounds like a race car going through the gears. Get after it Euge! Then he plays the Marshall, and everybody smiles. F%#k
Man I love this channel. It's fun watching you enjoy the guitar and your experience and knowledge shine through. If you get the chance I'd love to see you dial in a Mesa Boogie Triple Crown!
You're one of the few you tubers who actually show what you do, and not just talk about it Euge, and I can see a lot of myself in you, so therefore, YOU ROCK!!!
I swear, I only play in my living room now, I'll have a great sound dialed in, the next day, it'll sound like crap or a buzz saw. When I played out, the guys in the band would get so ticked cause I'd spend a half hour trying to get my sound just right, weather it was the same club on a different day, or a totally different club all together. One thing I'll mention is my ears are shot from years of this.
This is pretty useful. It took me like 15 year to figure out what to listen to when dialing in an amp. Moving the knobs rapidly back and forth is a great way to find out when they start to sound nasty. I'd love to see you dial in a single amp with different cabs just to see how massive of a difference there can be.
Which boost would you use for the EVH 5150 EL34 head? SD or TS-type effect? My EII Eclipse 7 string guitar is quite bass heavy and lacks mids, so would like to address that. And what is your preferred boost for Mesa Rectifiers (if you had to play one)? Cheers
It’d depend the tone I’m looking for, the guitar, the pickups, the day etc. 😎 That’s why I have SD-1, TS & BD-2 on my studio board so I use the one that does the job the best on any given situation. Usually it’s SD-1 no matter the amp but sometimes the other two does the job better 🤟.
Euge love the way you setup your amp to get the tone you prefer I think people should understand tone is subjective depends on amp and cabinet and guitar and pickups and you are so right about the knobs being there so you can adjust it to your liking great video Euge.
Awsome video as always, Marshall rules,mesa always sound like there is a blanket muffleing the sound no matter how its eq'd.just my opinion.keep these gread videos comming!
All these guys who made videos about that new Synergy IICP module and failed to get a satisfying sound out of it should watch this video to learn how to dial in that thing, haha.
Its like with my dual rectifier, I run it with diode rectification, spongy(bold is too hot). And on the 3rd channel I have it on modern, the prescence almost dimed, bass 8 o'clock, mids 11 o'clock and treble 10 o'clock, gain 2 o'clock. It becomes middy and punchy in the best way possible. Otherwise too flubby. Havent seen anyone run it this way, like you said you need to use your ears!
You’re welcome! 🙏 I’d recommend to try to sound the best you. Well that’s why I always try to do anyways (try to sound the best me) 😎. But there’s nothing wrong to try to sound like me either 😊.
Euge, i have a question for you, why don't you adjust the master knob to find the "breathe" position with the bad boy? In your last video (with the Wilde amp) either do that… Thanks for share, really good tones!
Great tutorial. Almost like a direct follow up to the question I had about my Laney. Moral of the story is everything matters; amp, cab, EQ, mike type, mike placement, pickups, guitar, IRs, double tracks etc... Like you said, ultimately, we will sound like us individually in the end.
Great video! You dial-in amps the right way, with your ears, and not your "eyes". You do a great job explaining everything clearly. And you show us how to do it. Thanks again for another informative video! Euge = heavy metal guitar school!
People tend to ask for settings to have an idea I guess but I do agree they will be non relevant since we don’t have the same attack, left hand technique, guitars, cabs, IRs and headphone or studio monitors, so, it’s good to understand how you approach your tone shaping and try to replicate within our own style…
A great description for the at “mid cranked” sound from the 5150 is the sound of a cocked wah. Heard that from a buddy and its exactly right! Great vid!
Hello Uge , this is the southern boy from Southern (SC) USA, I am really enjoying your channel, this we have alot in common (5150) style sound and rocking material , your topics and information is really helpful and spot on and your accent is just down right entertaining, just wanted to say thanks for all the info and great topic on this video on setting up a great chunk sound on Amp, hsve good weekend
hey euge!! you just got a new sub... jesus you have ALOT of content. wtf? how are you not so huge on YT? top notch quality my man keep it up gonna take me momths to go through all your stuff! thank you hahah and also whats your opinion on the yamaha hs 7s or the 8s? will 1 inch make it go boom that much more or should i save the 100$ per pair?
Thanks man! Glad to hear! I started this YT thing pretty much last year since all our (Cyhra) tours were cancelled and I think it’s been growing pretty nicely from a few hundred subs to over 17 K in a bit over a year 🙏😎. I went with the H8s ’cos I want to be able to hear lows accurately without a sub 👌.
I watch this video specifically to hear how Mark V sound like. I use that knowledge to adjust tone on Mark V amp sim. Turn out, there is little to no low mid sizzle on that particular amp sim. Hopefully, someone can make better mark V amp sim in the future.
Maybe the word you are looking for the marshall highs is "ice picky" compared to the smoother highs of 5150? That's what I feel in the tsl60 compared to a friend's block letter....different speakers though...🤔
@@EugeValovirta230V thats an interesting approach...so how would the 5150 (not Peaveys in general), Engls or Mesas sound like? Something like purple velvet, mat black and concrete grey maybe?
I also have to say that "fuck settings" advice is spot on. As you showed different speakers and mic placement combos totally change the sound...great piece of advice!!
I learned this trick from one of your previous videos (I think it was "In Flames tone" one). Helped me get great metal tones with ease. Thanks a lot Euge ! As always great video and tips
Hey! An excellent overview for those who want to choose a certain type of amplifier for themselves. I worked in the 90s with an unmodified 800 2203 '83 head with vertical inputs. Sound of a killer. If possible, test this amplifier. I think you will like it!
Thanks! I used to own five 2203s at one point (late 90s - early 2000s and one of them was from ’83 and one a JMP 2203 from ’79 if I remember correct) but I ended up selling 3 of them and kept the two I still have ’cos I liked those the most. The 2203ZW I also have is pretty much a replica of a vertical input 2203 but just with Wylde’s graphics and 6550 power tubes. Great amps indeed and Marshall got it so right back in the day that they’re still my favourite amps after all these years.
@@EugeValovirta230V I am just curious ... any Marshall Origin scheduled for a test? :) My friend got 50w, sounds oldchool & cool. I do like listen to it under your hands :)
Hey Eugh, great video!!! I like my guitar tone thick and chunky, like my women!!! I have nwver used a tube amp so that explained alot of how to set it up for sound. I got Ampletube 5 max about a week ago and will experiment with this. I wasn't sure what presence did. Have you ever messed with the voltage going to the amp from the power source? The Jtm 45 Marshall is my favorite on amplitude. I put a tube screamer in front of it. Sounds like vintage Iron Maiden,Priest,rainbow,AC DC.
@@EugeValovirta230V very cool, I have seen a few videos of bands using a variac to adjust the voltage when they play. I have been listening to alot of blues and rock. Gary clark jr is a new group I have discovered. He uses a variac on his fender univibe. He uses a fender Princeton reverb and a univibe together with the variac. Sounds like hendrix!!!
Jens Bogren’s. I haven’t used anything else since they released the first pack a few years ago or so👌. Well Softube’s Celestion Speaker Shaper is really good also if you like to tweak your own tones and I use that sometimes.
Today........... I am....... gonna show......... you......... how I dial in................ a great........ metal........ tone...... dude I enjoy your content but hearing you talk is as painful as getting hit in the balls with steel toe boots.
Euge, your videos kick ass. Keep it up man.
Thanks man!
Yes, a great video. I love how your videos genuinely feel like hanging out with a knowledgeable friend, not watching a TH-cam "Celebrity". No bullshit, humility and awesome advice. Love you man!
Thanks man! 🙏
Absolutely the best TH-cam channel in my opinion.
I'm watching all your videos about amps, pedals, how to play.
Euge you are great!
Oh thanks man! 🙏
Such a cool video Euge. No extra hype added to the video/explanation like other youtube content creators, just good pragmatic approaches to guitar tones. Would love some more playthrough/song tutorial videos too, those are great.
Thanks Scott!
Euge, I just recently found your channel. Such a gem. Kiitos veli!
Glad to hear man! Thanks ja nasta kuulla! 😎🙏
This was an absolute pleasure to watch!
And I love your vocalization of the amp sounds! “Hhnnggg!” and “Chk chk” capture it perfectly.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
The JCM800 Master Lead combos have a bit more HWEEEHY and KICCCHHXX 👍🏼
😎🤟
Mr. Valvovirta, this is your most valuable lesson to me! Extremely helpful
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Great chunky, aggressive sounds. I'm an 800 guy but that Boogie was crushing! Have a great week 🤘 🤘
P.s. Congrats on 17k subs, well deserved!!
Thanks man! Likewise!
Call me mad, but I don't like Mesa overall. It's just fuzzy, and dunk. Soldano is my favourite.
I’m a Marshall guy. Mainly JCM800 2203 💪.
I said to my wife " hey babe, I've got a Euge Valovirta"
She looked me at me straight in my face and said " it's not that big"
It was worth a try.
😁😁🤟👌
Wow. Euge you got it down brother. We already knew that. You need a new challenge. You need to take the worst amps and show how to get the best sound out of them.
😊🤟
Euge could tweak a SS 15W Gorilla practice amp and get it to peel paint off the walls!
Probably 😎.
@Euge Valovirta Greetings from CHILE MAH FREND!!! am sharing on twitter your videos again!!!, keep the METAL FAITH ALIVE!!!
Thanks man! Much appreciated 🙏🤟!
Euge, you're the best man. I set up my 6505+ after following your advice of using my ears, and it sounds like a beast man. Thanks!
Glad to hear man! Thanks!
Best heavy metal/rock guitar channel on TH-cam. Awesome channel. Thanks!
Thanks Scott! 🙏☺️
That is too metal ... Vídeo metal vs rock ? Rock with more mids and more light
@20 min in, you demonstrate why the Marshall JCM800 is a bit of a one-trick pony. The EQ range is a narrow road. BTW, the EQ range on a Marshall Origin 50 will impress you for Marshall.
exo vid again the top amps there for the meat n veg, thanks v
🙏😎🤟
Awesome video. I might save up for a jcm 800 20 watt. Probably too loud to use with my 2x12 cab but ehh it'll be fun.
Thanks! Those 20 watt Marshalls are great! And also really loud 😎.
Do you use Noise Gate?
Yes: th-cam.com/video/kPAfbEuORKM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=At_ga385Nq6EJFDL
Goddamnit Euge makes that Mark V sound mean! I swear he has high octane sauce in his fingers. Every time I hear him play that boogie it sounds like a race car going through the gears. Get after it Euge! Then he plays the Marshall, and everybody smiles. F%#k
😎💪🤟
Would love to see you do this for a rectifier amp!
Great advice Eugene on not looking at the eq while dialing it in. 👍🏻 I’m going to do this for every amp I dial in
Ears hear tones quite a lot better than eyes 😎👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V simple and effective approach, now all i will think while dialing is : what would Euge do?
😎🤟
Can't stop watching this Guy. A Scholar, a Gentleman, and a Badass! 🐲
😎🙏🤟
Man I love this channel. It's fun watching you enjoy the guitar and your experience and knowledge shine through. If you get the chance I'd love to see you dial in a Mesa Boogie Triple Crown!
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
It’d be indeed!
Softube have to make Boogie amp plugin asap. Santana's favorite amp
There’s a Dual Recto in Amp Room 🤟.
@@EugeValovirta230V oh Thanks ! I plugged in today and its the bomb! I want a mix of Santana sound with Jimi Hendrix's and that amp does it well
Mercurial, makes a very good boogie plugin "Reaxis" get the stand alone one. It comes with a daw plugin too
Mark V leads the pack.
😎
You're one of the few you tubers who actually show what you do, and not just talk about it Euge, and I can see a lot of myself in you, so therefore, YOU ROCK!!!
Thanks man!
I loved the video. I could listen to you talk about guitar stuff all day, my dude.
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
Technique learned, amps set ....still sound like myself. Ok ... so when is the How to dial Euge hands video coming out ? :D

I just recently found your channel and I'd really like to see a rundown of all your guitars.
Thanks! As soon as I have them all in the same place. Or at least in the same country 😁. They’re a bit all over Europe atm ’cos of touring 😎.
Inspirational player. Great philosophy on tone!
Thanks Ethan!
Doesn't matter what amp your playing! U make them all sound awesome!🤘🤘

Excellent video Euge. And really clear explanation. Funny I had a block letter 5150 but sold it and got an 800.
Thanks! 800 2203 is my all time favourite amp but 5150 ain’t bad either 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V Just wondered, when you were dialling in the 5150, were you using the lead channel or rhythm?
Great video, he does what everyone should do when touching knobs, look away and stop where your ears tell you to.

Maybe the word you are looking for the marshall highs is "ice picky" compared to the smoother highs of 5150? That's what I feel in the tsl60 compared to a friend's block letter....different speakers though...🤔
High Silver to me. I hear tones kinda in different colours and Marshall highs are silver to me. High (shiny) Silver to be precise 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V thats an interesting approach...so how would the 5150 (not Peaveys in general), Engls or Mesas sound like? Something like purple velvet, mat black and concrete grey maybe?
Not an approach. Just the way I hear tones, sounds, frequencies etc. Depends on a particular amp’s particular frequency. Impossible to generalize.
It still interesting though...:-)...keep up the good work...
I also have to say that "fuck settings" advice is spot on. As you showed different speakers and mic placement combos totally change the sound...great piece of advice!!
