My number 1 favorite track, favorite riffs and favorite lyrics from this band…I get emotional hearing it. I know I’m just another one of those people who talk about music and hard times but…this album carried me through some very, very dark times and I can’t thank these guys enough for helping me choose to keep going. They made me choose to be alive another day. Over and over again, until I made it out. Someday, I want to thank them for everything they do. You never know when your music plays a role in a decision for a human life to still be breathing.

Horcrux is elite. One of my all time favorites

This amp once again proves that the secret to good tone is not hidden in some certain type of magic tube or some other voodoo nonesense. It's in good circuit design.

What do you call that noise in the signal that makes it sound like djent?? What setting makes this less pronounced?

This just popped up, so I watched it. I own one as well. Have for a couple years. I noticed when I turn the Master volume up at least half way then turn the channel volume down it really brings out the Tube gain man... The power amp side... Been getting some cool tones here lately... Crank that master volume and control the room volume with the channel volume.. I have to turn the speaker off so I record with the direct out... I use some IR's for the speaker tone... really versatile amp man! Awesome for recording metal tones. Been experimenting on the clean stuff too...

HUGE fan of the REVSTAR series.

is this one more rhythm and the powerball for leads

Do you think it sounds better than a BCM Mkii 16 channel?

Laney ftw

Hi! if you had to choose one pair to record mostly stereo acoustic guitars, piano and percussion , like ( bongos, cajon, etc ) which one do you recommend ? RND511 or Neve 88R lb ? thank you very much !

this isn't a riff tho

Youd have to pry this amp from my cold dead hands and even then Im going to haunt you. Must be why these don't usually pop up for sale.

John, love that you demoed for the love of god! The module deserves no less haha

Your content is great! 😃

I like everything about that guitar. That nasty distortion and beautiful clean and that calm, not flashy design. Very attractive.

Just perfect

2024 and still looking for that Revv 120 stereo rig 😅

I have an AES820-D6, came out around the same time as the RGX you mentioned. I wanted one for decades and finally found one in a secondhand shop here in Portland for $300 a few months ago - unbelievable instrument even for what it cost new. Dimarzio pickups, stainless steel frets, sperzel locking tuners, really interesting electronics, just a beast.

Love the mega rig you have there

Bass line was pretty sick

I like the finish on this shecter quite a bit. Ive been holding out on green and red qatsi burst variants on the schecter line.

JB you need to re-do this with Chris and get Olly on to do a sick ass solo at 3:30-3:40. Change the mf world

what tuning is this in i have to know

Awesome, keep making your videos JB.

Valvestate Marshall seems to be dirt cheap. Like really. I got my AVT50H as an afterthought from the seller of a marshall 4X12 stack.

The riffs at cardinal red, nefarious, leviathan, and that middle part on mirror image are my favorites

All guitars drowned with distortion will sound the same...it doesn't matter if it's mahogany or plywood, .a £200 Epiphone LP and a £5,000 Custom shop LP will sound the same with distortion, sound reviews are pointless with massive distortion all over guitars....therefore a Solar guitar will sound like any other

Very sharp sound 🔥🤘

The Amari works like and audio interface for mastering via usb? same sound quality?

HOW do yo set up the "Preset Buttons"?!

preset helix?????

I don't want vintage guitars as a metal player. Revstar is a vintage guitar. I've had vintage guitars, compared to my modern Ibanez RG's, I much prefer the modern RG's with jumbo stainless steel frets, flat and fast necks, high output pickups etc. I've used Strats and Les Pauls for metal in the past, just not as good. I think Yamaha make great instruments, I like them, but I want Yamaha to make some modern super strats as they did in the 80's/90's. The Pacifica still doesn't quite get me where I want to go. That's geared towards the non-metal player.

Jonny boy it's not your best riff. Trust me

Love Yamahas. The 90's RG models were great. 24 frets, Floyd Rose, built for shred.

There are so many cool amps to choose from nowadays including modelers. I would probably rather have like a POD stomp with a killer powertube amp rack and a killer 2/12 on a speaker stand. But VHT are killer. Havent heard the new fryette amps

My buddy had a vht pitbul cl. He had the best live sound ive ever heard. But he didnt use the lead channel. He ran a Dod bifet preamp thru the loop fir a clean boost. These amp do not need distortion pedals.. many tones can be gotten from eddie to SRV to metal

This is the amp Satch should use on th VH tribute tour.

Hey John I just bought the 100w one you have in this video. I wish you had signed it! Its in Australia now 🤘

I've had the Element version in Swift Blue for a while now, and the longer I have owned it the less I want to play it. I do like some aspects of it. The neck is great. Its very comfortable to play. The pickups sound good. But there are some negatives that I notice more and more now; the dry filter switch does absolutely nothing. Maybe I'm not playing loud enough, but all it seems to do is make it sound duller. The 3 way slider switch feels awkward and downright cheap, like it was pulled out of a Telecaster. There's no separate volume controls. And I am really starting to detest the color of the thing. The Swift Blue just looks unnatural and ugly. I have actually considered getting it refinished in a better color, but that would cost me more than it's worth. The color I do like, Copper Red, is only offered in Europe and the UK. Why it's not available in the US is absolutely baffling. I know that I sound like I'm being unfair here, but when I bought the thing I was completely sold on it. Now I'm wanting to not even touch the thing.

I like your second guitar sound wise ….Solar is muddy

Mate are you alright? It looks like you had some neck issue? Like you’re avoiding to turn your head or something?

I really hope Yamaha doesn’t make a 7-string version of this guitar, because it would be a disaster and they’d need to wear helmets while playing it 🤏

I live the fact no shit taking on gear, he might not find desirable

I think it's fairly obvious because it doesn't have a trem and it's the polar opposite of the way metal guitars are going in that they tend to be tuned down and so most are going to use a 25.5 or even a longer scale length baritone guitar. Whereas the revstar has a shorter than typical scale length (like a les paul) The made in japan professional model is not £1500 more like £1800 (plus, as you said the money you need to replace the tuners which is going to push it closer to the £2k you've noticed guitars with roasted maple necks and locking tuners and a trem have - well that's why) - but, that said, if you're playing metal you may as well buy the revstar standard for £700-800 because you won't notice any difference. In fact you'd be as well buying a cheaper guitar that's more suited to playing metal which everyone else does and that's why you don't see them in metal. Next week we discuss why jazz bass players don't wear platform boots and pretend to vomit blood on stage.

The link you have is for the original devil's Triad, not the essentials model

Ooooo i love that Channel!!!!

Dave Grohl thanks you for the non stop everlong promotion.

Does he really think that sounded good? Really?

10 years later. I'm still here. That's insane.

still best this sh*t...
