Unless EARS are TRAINED on AUDIOPHILE QUALITY EQUIPMENT and SETUP Most Will Not Hear a DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE. IN A BLIND HEARING TEST, Unlikely The Gear Would Be identified repeatedly. Knowing and Understanding the Science behind Audo One would Choose what Is Known by specs to be Chosen for Use. That Knowledge would bias Judgment and understandingly so. For Critical Results every Time you would want that Not important in real life Scenarios not being judged. Unless issues stick out like a sore thumb And are obvious to even The untrained. Is it a WANT or a Need? To justify spending $3,000 on one piece of gear that a piece of gear Much less can do almost as well that most listeners would even be able to notice subtle differences. GREAT GEAR IS MARKED UP FROM CURVE SET BY DEEP POCKETS. Demand and Supply. Nothing New

We need a "Cracking the Code" episode specifically dedicated to John's right hand technique. He's clearly doing some really complex stuff with precisely when he plants his pinky or lifts his wrist off the strings. I've been studying his playing for a while to try to work this out.

I didn't know who John Browne was until watching this but now I'm subscribed! This dude kills 🤘

Looks great! Ive had one. But the current prices are wayyyy over where they should be 😮

I prefer the pickups in the Ultra, Over the pickup in the Ultra II. But the hardware on both is great.

Man, this is the best online Blackstar demo at all. I confirm my love for the brand. You explained everything perfectly and made every detail feel real!

9:52 corridor of chameleons. Nice one.

I tell you, Blackstar has really stepped up their game in the last 10yrs or so id say. That fu@ker sounds pretty good 😊. John can get a tone out of any amp i guess

I love the groove! This is a great example of "digging-in" with your right hand. Peace!

Soo good to see you brother....and hope you get well as soon as possible.....thanks for sharing this fender with us ....this is the first strat I have considered buying.....you just answered all the questions I had about it lol ....all of us love your playing 🎸🔥 please never stop and have a blessed day 🙏🏻 brother 😎👊🏻💯

"Fool"is a song of monuments?

That guitar sounds like it's loud and hot AF!

Aesthetics looks terrible

This video is therapy

The Best amp only beaten by the 10th anniversary edition

I have been listening to you demo for years and in this video is some of your best tones. That pod is insane

the high gain tones were fuckin sick, but the cleans at the end of the video are what made me really want one of these! Absolutely gorgeous sounding

B... E... A... Yoootee FULLL

That's literally just a ibanez gio, seriously, it's the exact same

Awesome vid Mr. Brown! I love these CL100 heads - very similar to my VH4 but the CL100 is an ounce more percussive in nature. Have you compared the Fryette CL100 to the Diezel VH4? I would love to know your thoughts on these two?

so I noticed as he was showing the theory section that the tuning is in DADGAD..does this mean that everything we're learning is going to be in this tuning and not standard or a regular drop tuning? Wondering cause this seems amazing but I don't want to confuse myself learning this way then playing other stuff and the finger placement on everything else is altered

Fantastic! Just unbelievably great to listen to you! I've played guitar for 20 years and I'm not anywhere close to your expertise. Bad ass!

I need a full version of birds of a feather in my ear holes yesterday 🤘😆🤘

Sounds pretty good, but i would take a Fryette or EVH stealth over this easily.

New and improved 5150? EVH stealth. Done.

Great player, great guitar, and great amp. The OR30 is actually the weakest link in this equation though.

kurwa jak to brzmi!!!

I think the guitar looks sick BUT I can’t vibe with the bridge the ringing and how it feels on my palm, the pick ups sound too muddy/compressed for big extremely dense sounding chords that I like to try and I also pick really hard so I think active pick ups just don’t work for me in general lol great demo and solid price point for what you get. I feel like this is a shredders dream to play and looks like it could be a big seller for the younger guitarists community

Always a pleasure to listen to you play! Thank you, for making this great demo. Could you please tell me what string gauge you use for DADGAD tuning?

Me I put fret wrap only for head design, I did not use it even once

So it was ready to go out the box, QC must be good as you descibe, ive been wonering about these new Indonesian factories,

did bro jus thump?!

It's crazy that it was four years ago. I remember the first time I saw it. I was absolutely amazed by this amp and bought it like a month later. I still have it, and it’s my favorite of all. Thank you for making this video

its a shame it probably weighs over 8lbs cause it looks really cool.

Dude, I'd love to learn those arpeggios between the rythmic low tones you do with the guitar.

The Kiesel blood splatter, and other concept name of the same artistic paint, etc. Regardless, this paint is very cool.

I may be wrong about this, but I am pretty sure we perceive lower notes in a chord more than higher notes because of the way our primary auditory cortexes are arranged. We are more tuned to frequencies in the upper mid range, but I think that changes when multiple notes are played simultaneously. I took a perception psychology class that covered this, but honestly I may be misremembering it

I have a c-1 Hellraiser from like ~2008 with a real FR on it. EMG 81 / 87 Gigged the crap out of it. White finishes does not age well though LOL

Tuning please?

Take care of yourself, we miss you!🤎

Love seeing John Browne active on KZbin again. I hope he post video every 2 weeks and demo new cool gears

Seeing Seymour Duncan active on schecter guitar, feels like early 2000s 😌

Hi. What do you think of the Lynx Aurora N?

Damn dude! I love every riff your playing.

As an owner of several Schechter's, including a C-1 40th anniversary edition, there are very few other manufacturers with the specs and overall greatness that is Schecter. Especially at their price points compared to others with WORSE specs at double and triple the price! Thanks man! Happy new year brother!

I wish Browne would check out a LTD or E-ii MIJ esp....damn.

I miss you playing Mayones guitars. Either way, I always enjoy your demos. I wish nothing but the best for your health.

The c-1 schecters are great looking guitars! Some of the best bang for your buck! Especially the hellraisers and platinum series! Wish they still made the c-1 elites in the old 00s style! Thanks John! Always enjoy your playing!

That thing is gorgeous!

Very good sound! I am surprised that Line 6 Pod Express Black is soo capable. Then again, with amazing player many thing can sound amazing!
