Sometimes I wonder if all of the scraps of info I've picked up about the music I like will ever actually be useful, or if it's just spare parts that will sit on a shelf in my brain collecting dust. Then once in a while those nuts and bolts come in handy.
The day before I put out my amp testing video I was relaxing, feeling the weight off my shoulders knowing that 10 months of work on that video was finally done. So I was mindlessly scrolling through local craigslist, seeing if there was anything cool for sale.
And that's when I got my next call to adventure.
-Jim, 12/19/22

All background music was me playing songs from Tom Bukovac's Plexi Soul album, except for the part talking about J.T. Corenflos, which was me playing JT's song Swamp Stomp from his Somewhere Under The Radar album. The song in the montage and outro is called Blues & Dank Nugs, and I used my Bassman head into Tom's actual speaker cab on the leads and my copy of the JT half-open cab on the rhythms. For the rest of the background music I used my Line 6 HX Stomp pedal with the US Doulbe Vib amp model into my impulse response of Tom's guitar cab left speaker (1982 white label Celestion 65) for the Bukovac songs from Plexi Soul and my impulse response of one of JT's cabs for the JT song.

@@Great-Documentaries That's not what he proved. You missed the point man. Play whatever you want because it's what YOU like and sounds how YOU want it to.
what are the chances of you getting the amp back you tested in this video th-cam.com/video/IC96P3icayc/w-d-xo.html to make an ir
@@gavincampbell4898 amps have nothing to do with IRs my friend... it's a speaker freq response curve.
Congratulations, Man! You got both cabs?!?!?! Dang!!!!
@@Broganshire They kinda do, albeit not as drastically as speakers. Try playing through the same cab with different amps, even at similar distortion levels and volumes it should sound audibly different - unless you painstakingly equalized them like Jim Lill did in his previous video.
Jim is like the living embodiment of the phrase "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself"
Jim is like a physicist who drops his thesis on the world
This is A+ content, not cheap, not copied, not pretentious, no gimmicks, and no bs. Just a spirited man on a mission to get as close to the truth as possible, all while being firmly committed to pure objectivity. Dude, you’re ripping up the rule book in the most chill and humble manner, super stoked about this channel and I can’t wait to see what else you have to show us
Highly entertaining 😂. “However close you think they sound, that’s how close they sound” - brilliant and well said. To each their own!
Jim, I hope like hell you land your dream gig and get to do it for 20 years, and I hope it leaves you enough time to do all the other passion projects you want to do, and I mean that. But from a completely selfish standpoint, you make the best music content on TH-cam and I hope you never stop.
Amen, brother
Pat finerty’s legit too
This dude should have 1M subscribers.
@@DrewsReviews07 Stop the train
This is what happens when a channel isn’t “sponsored” by a company. Everything you say and show feel genuine and honest. I don’t even use a modeller that much but I’m buying this just to support this channel. Go on forth, Jim.
jim, you are one of my favorite youtubers on the platform. the amount of work you put in while humbly still referring to yourself as "just a performer" is admirable. keep pissing off the cranky old heads!
You and Spectre have helped rewire how I think about guitar tone. I have honestly saved money I didn't have to finally help me with getting "my tone." I appreciate what you've done and you telling of history has been great. I didn't like country music but you've come along and helped me respect it to the point that I have started messing with that twang instead of just chugging along. Keep up the good work, my dude.
Glen and Jim are the Copernicus of modern day, fighting back against the bullshit one piece of evidence at a time 🙌🏼
Real tube amps through real cabs, played loud enough to make everything move is wonderful.
Plenty of us don't have a space in which to do that...
Digital modelers are great, IRs are great, and open up whole worlds of opportunity that a lot of guitar players would never otherwise have.
Capturing specific unique IRs like this is amazing! Such a great thing to put out there.
Keep up all the great work you've been doing!
Well said! Im totally pro-modern tech, no arguments, i have my eye on a Kemper sometime next year BUT there's still nothing like a high quality low powered tube amp being pegged into some quality low powered Alnico speakers. I think as well real amps are still king for small venue players who aren't likely to have access to a quality PA to plug their modern tech into. I haven't heard a modeling amp actually mic'ed up on a cab yet, they DO sound great recorded directly but can they move that air like a real amp?
My 200w 2×12 fender gt200 shakes my neighbors house lmaoo
I've never tried "plug ins" on a pc but with modeling Amps the more watts the amp has the clean head room is huge 👌 if you play clean mostly
I actually am gonna book a 1 hr session with a guy who runs a punk studio out here cuz I want to capture his custom cabs. It's super easy to make IRs that it's stupid to not learn how to make one. Given the fact that each cab sounds different, even within the same cab model line, the best way to get the tone you want to copy is to find their IR.
yea i just spent few hundred on an interface and monitors and have access to more musical tools than ever
Your storytelling and directing skills keep improving... Great video. Well done Jim!
Jim, from afar - I don’t know you personally, but I freaking love how insanely obsessed you are, and all the blessed myth busting you do. Selfishly, I hope you never stop, because I benefit directly from it. Thank you.
maybe you will read this, maybe not... just wanted to say thank you for your incredibly hard work and sharing your thoughts/findings here on your channel. Your love for music shows and is much appreciated. I am a studio owner and audio engineer in LA and you have answered questions I have had for many years. Thanks for your curiosity and dedication to follow through with everything it took to share this with the world. Much respect and im looking forward to your future content.
Just bought the cab pack. It is fabulously good for everything Fender. Support this guy, he is the hero we deserve.
I guess this is one of those, "you need to be in the room" things. I cant hear any difference whatsoever thru my headphones. in any event, I love your content Bro!
Apart from showcasing proper skills and extensive knowledge on guitars, cabs, amps and playing... These vids are stupidly well made, the cutting especially. Mad.
Jim your videos are wild. I've never found anything so watchable, with stories so well-told, and the way your mind works on full display. You are single-handedly blowing all of the guitar world's bullshit completely out of the water and I am here for it!
Jim, I love your no-nonsense experiments to just see what the actual differences are. No opinions. Just careful experimentation and showing the results. One of the best musician channels on YOu Tube.
You know Jim brings the heat with every upload. Keep up the good work and I wish you all the success you can handle.
I just found your channel and have been watching your videos all afternoon. I'm in awe of you, man. You're inspiring. Thank you so much.
Once again, I am in awe of the amount of work he puts into these videos. Kudos sir.
It's wonderful that you share this with the world. Both the original cabs via these videos for their historic value, and via IR to the rest of us for whatever value we get out of them.
I'm soooo happy about the IR pack! Some of us asked for it after the JT cab-clone video and you delivered. I have truly enjoyed your video series about where tone comes from. Thanks for the awesome content!
These are by far the most interesting and insightful videos ever made. Not that I’ve seen every video ever made, but they are very good. Useful and informative.
man, these videos are absolutely turning the world of electric guitar inside out. Your practical knowledge and ability to go out and conduct these extremely basic tests is inspiring. You've uncovered the truth behind decades of guitar tone myths and the production value in these videos is top notch. I'm excited to see more!
Another excellent video by Jim. So cool you were able to snag and document this gear.
Always a breath of fresh air. Thank you for these videos. They’ve been enormously helpful to me!
You, Sir, are a GENIUS!!!
Love your videos.
Eye opening.
Jim, just want to let you know that I really appreciate all the amazing videos you have done investigating tone and what affects it. Honestly, these have been some of the most compelling videos I've seen on guitar.
So happy you got that cabinet with such a rich history behind it.
Looking forward to the next one!
This amount of experimentation and detail is truly amazing. I hope everyone gets how much work is behind each of Jim's video.
Jim, your videos have become so inspiring and informative! It's amazing what you've created here! Never stop!
This is such a good video, top to bottom. Let alone your playing skill or your work ethic, just from a video production standpoint this is off the chain. Great job Jim.
This was fantastic as usual! Scientific method and music together.
These videos are so good. I don't even like guitars that much, but these concrete lessons about audio are irresistible.
More great content Jim, please keep it up! You pack so much material into great concise videos. Thanks for your work.
You are a great asset to music history, thank you.
Amazing as always. Would love to hear more of your playing too! Keep up the selfless amazing work and I hope your IR packs well like hotcakes - you deserve it.
Well done!! FYI I geeked out when I saw you show the add. Just finished watching that video again this week. Great stuff you do!
Nice! So glad ya did this. This type of cab is a fav! . Zilla makes a great recreation and York audio makes wonderful IRs of this.
Haven’t watched many videos from this channel but the methods you’re using to experiment are super cool. Love it. Will keep watching and learning.
Can I just say a genuine thank you for all the effort, time, talent, and your resources making these videos. For me you fire up my insides to deep deeper and have more enthusiasm for what I do in my world of guitar. Thanks
I gotta say, I just LOVE your vids! There's something about the way you speak that makes me smile. When you said " Alright! I guess I'm making some IRs!" That's what I'm talking about. It's almost funny. Your vids are so well written and mixed too! Keep up the great work!
Super cool Jim. That’s actually one awesome story to tell. 10 years ago, all my heroes in the world and every piece of gear they had and I would never have been able to do anything like this with out the creation of the IR. You are making history my friend. That simple
I love your love for music and music history. Thanks for introducing me to new music and musicians! Keep up the good work.
Second video of yours I have watched this morning. Just great content. I live in Brentwood as well and should start hitting up Craigslist more. Good on you for your CL finds.
Glad I found this it's a great show! 🇬🇧
For about a decade I worked as a programmer / engineer at Electro Voice.
One of the big apps I worked on was a utility to statistically assign a class / rating to speakers that would come off the assembly line.
We would measure frequency and impedance response for every single speaker.
Then ingest that data and create classification and pass / fail curves.
It is amazing how much variation there is on the same speaker due to all sorts of factors:
weather, new batch of glue, new batch of cone paper, new batch of magnets, new batch of voice coils, etc.
A specific speaker rarely had an exact same response as the next one.
And as manufacturing plants change over time, the "old pros" that wind a coil a certain way or assemble speakers a certain way change. Their knowledge might be lost when they retire. Or corporate decides to save money by moving plants.
I totally believe there are 'special' batches or runs of speakers.
But also, paper, glue, foam ages.
Speakers change over time, and due to weather, humidity, temperature.
The world of analog audio is crazy nuanced.
Great video. I appreciate all the effort and thought you put into it. IR’s or no IR’s. Doesn’t matter to me. A player with heart and talent can make music with and on most anything. Having your sound, wherever you happen to be playing if your rented backline dies suddenly is priceless. We as players can be creatures of habit and any change or perceived change can make for a crudy gig. Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for all that you share Jim. Very much appreciated.
Yeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!!! Awesome Jim. Best commercial I've seen in decades.
The variation in chemistry between amps and cabinets is amazing. Sometimes you hit on something by chance that sounds great and is tailored in tone and dynamics to your own personal preference. Way back 44 yrs ago my uncle loaned me a rig he wasn't using; a 65 Showman head that had been jumper channel moded paired w an 8x10 Marshall hot dog cab. That thing was a LETHAL tone factory.
Great video. The amount of effort you put into chasing tone and the science behind it is mind blowing. As someone who prefers the sound of Amps over modeling I found this video extremely educational.
Subbed 👍
Thank You! Best Regards and Best Wishes for 2023!
You're videos are just amazing! Congrats on your approach, creativity and skills! Hi from Stuttgart, Germany
Jim, your video’s are the only TH-cam ones that can keep my attention for the whole duration. If not a great musician, you’re certainly a great video content maker. Probably both. Well done, keep up the good work! 👍
@JimLill - I bought the pack. Thanks for creating it. Love your videos. I’m a “Heavy Blues” guy, but these will certainly help me craft my sound and make my clean tones pop. Cheers 🥃 from Canada! 🇨🇦 🤘🏻
Great score Jim - and another sweet video!!!! I particularly appreciate how you put in the time to be thorough
like a beautiful poem. I can't even express how wonderful you are. thank you!
Hell yeah, that’s super dope! You’ve made such an educational, fun and enthralling series of videos. Thank you!!
wow man. what a special collection you got there. amazing.
Thanks for preserving these pieces of musical history. Take my $40, Jim! And thanks to JT and Tom for making these cabs legendary in the first place.
Man, awesome work. I've been loving these amp videos. Sounds great!
Cool set of cabs you have there. Also pretty cool IRs.
Very cool, glad that someone picked these up who appreciates the history on top of the tones
Your videos make me smile. 😂 Especially the end when you showed the IR's for sale
This is the first video of yours I've watched. I didn't understand a word. But it was so well done, I watched to the end and enjoyed it immensely. Keep doing what you do, Jim!
Jim, you've been putting out the most original guitar content. Much appreciated.
This. Was. FANTASTIC!!! You’re the bomb Jim!!
I love the simultaneous mythbusting and all knowing smirk your videos have, even if that smirk is just a feeling, or the closing shot of the vid.
Merry Christmas Jim . Really appreciate the gargantuan efforts you have gone to in bringing us Informative, entertaining, musical delights. Really enjoy this channel !
Thanks, Jim! Your videos are fantastic.
These IRs were just want I wanted . Thank you.
Perfect timing man! You have a kick ass collection of cabs. Beginning of a museum. Not going to lie, I’m pretty envious.
Made my guitar geek day. Glad I found ya.
I just watched the best ad ive ever seen hahahah great video as always Jim!
Love your whole ethos and approach to all of this!
A video with that includes Uncle Larry, just brilliant! Jim your videos are amazing!
Another Great Video Man. Thankyou.❤
This was such a neat video! Thanks for making it!
Your videos are amazing! Thank your for all your hard work and thoroughness.
Thanks for making the IRs. Even if it's not the real thing it's as close as possible to the real thing that I'll ever be able to get. Much appreciated. Your channel is excellent.
Great find and great story!
I bought them and they sound great. I’ve learned so much from this guy and Tom.
Haha love the way you narrate your videos. Pure gold!
Great content! I used to listen to every podcast you put out. Nowadays I listen to some random videos and enjoy every time!
Thank you,
Adam West
Your videos are always informative. Appreciated.
This was a beautiful, masterfully edited and brilliant video. Wow.
Fascinating! Thanks for the time and effort .
Good stuff Jim, thanks mate!
Nice work as always Jim, and great idea for making an IR Pack. IR's are such a great tool. If I want to play silently or take the room out of the equation for recording, I find taking a DI from a real amp using a Two Notes Captor and then applying an IR is way better than a full amp sim. And being able to swap IR's in post is really handy too. But when I'm at band practice or a gig, of course it's a real cab!
Great find and great comparison!
Loved this video, and a beautifully crafted marketing piece..! Perfect - Subscribed!
Great stuff man!! Very cool video
Totally enjoyed watching this. Your approach is so refreshing. I love Uncle Larry, too. :)
This is just incredible, keep up everything you do
Dude I'm a fan
I love this
You better keep this content up!
Jim, thanks for making these! If anyone thinks that this is sacrilege, please just hear me out: it’s a way to preserve history. Those old cabs will eventually rot and break. The soft parts on those drivers will rot and disintegrate. Contacts will rust and oxidize. Capacitors will leak. IRs aren’t perfect. Capturing them is as much art as science. So many variables, but it’s something, and I’d argue that it’s a damn good and useable something that represents a large swath of music and will stay exactly the same for a long long time. I think that’s worth doing.
The difference is subtle but none better than the other. I think the benefits of IRs is exactly what you said. Having the convenience and the tones that you want at your fingertips - and especially since you DO gig a lot, it makes way more sense to just have IRs of your favorite cabs that you can stomp into rather than Joe Bonamassa and bring 30 different amps for one show to get those tones.
Amazing video as ever
Awesome content, bravo!
DUDE I almost bought this exact cab end of last year...had no clue it was Tom's. Happy for you brother!
Thats so awsome!! I dont use digital stuff either, but always wondered how close they got. Thanks Jim!
