    The woman at 7:22 is there to buy a Gibson Flying V for herself, because that's what she needs to take her rocking to the next level. Her rocking ability has far surpassed the Squier Strat that she's been practicing on for 11 years, so now it's time to Flying V 4life. Everyone at bridge club after bingo night is gonna be floored by how hard she's able to rock with her new Flying V.

      I mean, the Tone King actually sounds better (especially on the rhythms). The Marshall is classic and going to be much louder ... but tone-wise ... that little set up sounds sick! Though I am not a fan of the music man esthetics, they play and sound great

      EvinKieransMusic I saw Rabea picking an American rig and thought something along the lines of a PRS Custom through a Peavey or EVH 5150 style amp. Especially after wanting to crush them. I dig the rig, but Rabea is like my favourite guitarist on TH-cam and it felt weird seeing something that wasn't his in your face metal stuff.

      Music man guitars are light years ahead of Gibson. $2000 musicmans in the stores are simply vastly better in every regard than Gib standards. If you want a good Gibson, you have to pay much higher than any musicmans price. And for $5000, really, every luthier in the world can make you a dream guitar.

    I could practically see the hope of winning drain from Rabea's eyes with each gear selection Joe made.
    Should've gotten with a PRS Custom 24 and a Mesa Mark V half stack just to keep things even because a 45-watt combo versus a JCM800 with a 4x12 is a losing battle any day of the week.

      And PRS is way better for way less. Gibsons are as overrated as they come.

    UK certainly is the place you want to go for amp choices and the US for guitars. I do love the USA rig though for its originality.

I do love the classic sound of the marshall though. personally I would have the marshall amp and like a fender strat as a standard set up.

  • @MetalHeadProductions
    @MetalHeadProductions 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    British amps defined hard rock and metal for decades, but, once metal in american in the 80's got very heavy there was this surge of great amps, guitars, pickups, and effects pouring out of america for this heavier sound. The Mesa Dual Rec and both the Peavey 5150 and 6505 have dominated modern metal and are continuing to do so. Seymour Duncan and EMG are metal standards. MXR, Boss, and the plethora of specialty companies like Pro Tone and of course the ibanez tube screamer, maybe the most used and iconic guitar pedal ever.

      DeanGuitarsForLife! personally I'd agree that marshalls are overrated, but you can't really compare peavey, evh, mesa boogie and randall to marshall because they are totally different styles of amp, those american amp companies are mostly known for extremely high gain, whereas marshall aren't known for that. I like high gain, but it depends on the style of music you play. And don't forget Orange, who make fantastic amps, the rockerverb is one of those iconic amps
