Great demo brother. I’m so worried that these younger generations are gonna let Gretsch die because it’s n “old guy boomer guitar.” Hopefully not because of guys like you and me are doing our best to pass it on. Many thanx!!!

NOCTURNE BRAIN, what settings can you get that Chess Drain Pipe Reverb? I'm trying to get that Chess Drain Pipe Reverb but not sure what settings to use. It sound be better to have a Drain Pipe Switch settings to do all the hard work for me instead of dialing in for hours to get that Drain Pipe Cheese records sound. The preamp section should have a 3rd Footswitch to get that Lovepedal CHAMP pedal tone which gets those 50's small amp small speaker sound.

I was under the impression Setzers sslvo was a faithful reproduction of his 59 with a 2.75" deep body. Is this not the case then?? Great presentation by the way!
@ivan_emege7 ай бұрын
That compound radii was made by TV Jones in its day, maybe the V shape too. That guitar, the original Smokin’, he put a seriously work on it. Listening to you I believe that neck must be a pleasure to play. Maybe is something like the Fender 57 Soft V-Shape, but thinner? I prefer the bold tone, the looks and the simple layout of the Steve Wariner’s Gretsch signature, but the neck and softly round body edges of the Setzer must be delicious. Greetings!

The tone difference is probably body size. Plus if they have different bracing. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

its the same guitar, the setzer phoenix but we did a pickup swap. the body size of the guitar nor the bracing was affected in anyway :)
@mikegraff509 Жыл бұрын
@@beerbilly Oh Sorry. I thought in the video I heard the mention that the Black Phoenix sounded different than the 6120. My point was it will. If I recall the Black Phoenix is the same size body as a falcon (17" I believe) opposed to the width of the 6120 which is 16". That makes a difference in tone. Plus if the bracing is different. I have several Gretches all with filtertrons. The Bracing and body size definitely affect the tone. I can see where the Setzer Sig PUP cleans up the tone as I have installed it in a couple of mine where the low end was muddy.

@@mikegraff509 yep there is a huge difference between a falcon and a nashville, especially the scale length. 25.5" on the falcon and 24.6" on the nashvilles. I share tone differences in nashvilles, like my 6120SSU vs 6120 setzer smoke in this vid here kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5nNYqN4jqhggdk
@mikegraff509 Жыл бұрын
@@beerbilly oh yea and I forgot to mention the thickness of the body. the newer nashvilles are a bit skinner than the 59 models (Smoke). So yea not only scale length but the build is different enough. Its not something I thought about until I ended up with different models. Would use one as a back up and realize my tone shifted. I have an Electromatic that has the A bracing, but is thicker than my 6120 Nashville, I am guessing what ever wood they use is affecting the tone too. The thing is super heavy compared to any of the pro models that I have. However the Setzer Sig PUP and a decent set up got it dialed in much closer to the Pro models tone wise. Hollow bodies are basically acoustics with electronics. So the build really seams to affect tone. Where with solid body guitars I don't notice a tone shift (minimal if any). Again thanks for your video(s), they are always insightful!

Camera perspective is focuses on Tommy & Nico as well as my Nocturne amp :). Thats the packing house in anaheim and the stage is set midway between the lower and upper food/bar courts. so on the level above the stage its completely encircled by people watching, as well as those below watching. Also worth noting, the whole place is just food n brew w the stage, centric. ps.this was also during NAMM show week!

its a little easier to get to the controls :) And the internal uppermids boost/cut trimmer that is now a control knob up top is the game changer to me for its interactiveness w tone and gain. I should have done this yrs ago. In the same breath if you have one of the handwired tag board built Ubangi Stomps, DONT sell it. That was so labor intensive back in the day, and it was a team effort w my son etching the tag boards, populating the boards w all the curated components, soldering them etc. He was a high school kid doing this stuff. I guess Im being too sentimental ha! :)

Today i got mine.❤ And it was a real journey to get my hands on one. I could have just clicked the "Buy" button on the website, but the price incl. shipping fees easily went over the magic 400$ mark wich is the number for custom problems importing pedals to Germany. Over 400$ the taxes and import fees are ~350$ wich have added up the pedal to almost 780$. So there is no way i can spend this much on a pedal. Luckily after weeks i found one on Ebay located in EU and got it for about 300$. I'm totally happy and it's clear this is a keeper in combination with the Keeley Memphis Sun pedal. I own about 12 different Delay pedals and even more Overdrives but the Mystery Brain beats them all. I can't exactly tell what the secret is, but i makes a great job combining preamp, delay and modulation. Yes, some of my Echos may sound a hair better but all in all the Mystery Brain is the winner in one box.

My thing is busking using two yahamhavthr 30’s and 2x Bose s1 pro’s powering the pedals through anger Astro power board, . . .

Hi Chris, ya the rumble seat is a different beast altogether. My Mysterybrain is simply an RE-301 space echo, in a simple toneful format using photocell vibrato for tape warble/vibrato. thanks for the good words! I wish I had distribution but never got to that level of production, still all very hands on here at my shop.

@beerbilly Жыл бұрын
same exact circuit /pedal just different layout of controls. on my website there is a full layout picture of the white (handwired one). while the white handwired has a stomp switch &. gain control for the hot/mic channel.. the single stomp version keeps both channels on w a blend knob. the normal xhannel is on the right w hot on the left. the hot starts mixing in around 11oclock. on the el pescadoro (jr barn pre w reverb) the hot/mic channel is a toggle switch w the gain control inside the box as a trimmer.
