Great and relatable video. Much like yourself I have been playing for decades. Mostly electric and rock bands. About 15 years ago, I took up acoustic to do some solo gigs. I had an old Yamaha and eventually upgraded to Gibson. I played many acoustic guitars over the years but have never given any thought to the Taylor. Now I am older and I still play every day, but the Gibson became too cumbersome for these old hands. I went to the local music store and tried every acoustic guitar they had including All the brand names and high-end models but once I played the Taylor 214 my search was over. I love the Taylor so much. I now have three of them. Thanks for the video

Hey Joe :-) Very informative review and your tracks are excellent - great stuff! How did you record the 30R? (what mics, rough position?; into your audio interface I guess?) Very nice quality. I am actually not very happy with my 30R. Okay at home but at band jams it doesn't cut well thru the mix and shine in general. It seems to lack presence or something. My Princeton and Pro Reverb perform much better. Some say a tube screamer helps - will try that next. Any thoughts? Anyway, thanks again!
@onevoiceinc2 күн бұрын
Very kind, thank you! I'll attempt to answer everything... First, I used a Sennheiser e609 to the right of the cone... a few inches below the actual 'R' of the Fender logo, and like an inch or so to the right of it. I prefer the mic right up against the grill, and I run it into my PreSonus inbox. As far as that mic - and if you're like me and have occasionally noisy neighbors - the pickup pattern of that particular mic is about as close as I can get to perfect. As far as cutting through the mix, I use mine ~mostly~ at my church with a nice bit of gain... more-so during lead solos and stuff. In that particular environment, it cuts through (instrumentally, there is a bassist, drums, keys, an acoustic, and me). For a little extra "oomph," I also use a Greer LIGHTSPEED Organic Overdrive - one of my subscribers just recently turned me on to that pedal. It pairs up with this amp even better than the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe I had been running prior to the Greer pedal. I LOVE this pedal. It gives the cleans that extra edge of breakup sound and the same setting boosts the crunch and extra gain in all the right places. I was asked last week to fill in with a local band, and I quickly realized that the sound I use at church needed to be modified slightly in that tighter-spaced rock band environment. I lowered the reverb and the delay volumes, and I finally found that balance to cut through the mix. I will give you my pedalboard setup, though, if this helps: I run my guitar into the tuner into the Lightspeed direct into the amp. All other effects run through effects loop: I run from the amp Send into a Keeley Halo Andy Timmons Dual Echo > Boss DD8 Digital Delay (set to reverse mode) > Spark Booster mini (for volume boost for solos) > Boss NS2 Noise Suppressor > JHS Little Black Amp Box into the amp Return. I use the NS2 to cut extra high gain noise, the Spark mini to cut through, and the Little Black Amp Box to adjust the overall volume so I don't have to change any of my amp knob settings whether I'm playing live or recording late at night in the studio room. Aside from that, I run humbucker pickups. Hopefully this info helps. Keep me posted, if you will. :)

If we start with root note D: 1st would be D, 3rd - F, 5th - A. But D-F-A combination gives Dminor chord?
@onevoiceincАй бұрын
@shoutitallloud are you referring to major or minor? The notes of the D major scale are D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#... so the chord tones would be D, F#, A. The fretboard pattern/shape remains the same, but the notes change based on where the pattern is placed and what key you're playing. The minor scale is a different matter, because it actually comes from the 6th tone of the major scale. So if you ran the F major scale (F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E) from it's 6th tone to the next 6th tone, you'd now have D minor: D, E, F, G, A, Bb, C. The minor scale uses the basic chord formula 1, b3, 5. So if you are running the D minor scale, you'd have the minor chord notes D, F, A. Hopefully I explained it in an understandable way. If not, please let me know, so I can clarify it better. I'm passionate about helping guitarists to maneuver and ultimately master the fretboard. :) I actually have a free theory site that explains a lot of this stuff further if you're interested.

It seems similar to my peavey classic 30 as far as specs-EL84 tubes etc.. but I find the Fender to be a much nicer overall amp. It gets very loud for a 30w amp but stays very clear at volume compared to the peavey, (which isn’t bad) but just not on the same level. I’m with you, it sounds great without pedals but have used a Keeley super phat mod as a boost with good results. Fender kinda screwed the pooch discontinuing this one, it’s a fantastic amp for any rock tones, heavier tones, country or WESTERN!

You’re spot on - the lack of marketing for this amp was tragic. It’s a total gem. I’ve been playing a 30r for a couple years now, and it quickly became my go to. It does the Marshall DSL thing better than a DSL - and still has an awesome clean channel. This amp paired with a Greer Lightspeed is *chef’s kiss* I suspect that the Bassbreaker series was a bit of a market test to see if they could get a higher gain amp to catch on. I just think that vast majority of players in the market for a Fender are after the clean tone thing. They just don’t associate the brand with gain. Great playing in the demos, btw.

And for a little added flavour, a strymon flint, Keeley Halo delay, phase 90 and ce-2 chorus. I’ve rotated things on and off my board for years, but this lineup has lasted longer than any other.

@matthewfrench5539 oh cool. I run that particular JHS also. It's a great alternative to an actual attenuator. I was explaining my pedal setup to my bassist yesterday: " this one reduces the overall volume without having to change the amp knobs (JHS). This one boosts volume, especially in my solos (Spark mini). This one reduces noise. (Boss NS2). This one adds a ~little~ extra grit (Tumnus Deluxe). This is my new goto delay (Halo) and this one adds that cool backward sound underneath it all (Boss DD8, set to reverse)." It's a great setup. With my DSL, I ultimately bought a Blackstar Amped 3 to run in the return as the new amp brain, with the Marshall becoming a speaker cabinet only for live play. Like most of all those pedals I spent, trying to chase down a sound to try to balance the DSL, it confirmed that (for what I play) the DSL just doesn't cut it for me. I ~may~ eventually do a comparison... but not sure. With the Bassbreaker getting discontinued, not sure if there's even a point for that. Not sure. Anyway, sounds like both of us are loving these particular Fender amps. That's a win. :)

@@onevoiceinc Can you elaborate on that JHS box? Honestly I cant understand how different that is to cranking the preamp gain and then lowering the master volume knob. The master volume is meant to control how loud the preamp is being hit by the output of the preamp section.
@onevoiceincАй бұрын
@Javier-qk7ms absolutely. This particular amp has (on the clean side) a volume and (on the crunch side) a volume - so one volume per side with no overall master volume for a unified overall amp volume. So to balance both (once everything is dialed in and both channels are balanced), the JHS in the effects loop acts as an overall amp volume to adjust without having to mess with the individual volumes. This works best in being able to set an in house volume and a live volume without changing anything on the amp knobs. :) If that makes any sense. The Marshalls have a master volume in addition to channel volumes. This one just has the individual channel volumes. Where this amp shines brightly over the DSL models, however, is in the individual EQs and the ability to balance an overall sound. I was never able to achieve that with my DSL40. It always kinda sounded like different amps EQ-wise every time I would change to another channel. This one you can dial in those frequencies, so your clean, crunch, and lead sound like it's all from the same amp and source.

I would add, for quiet home practices it might be good to run a JHS Little Black Amp Box through the effects loop... both for taming this beast and to adjust overall volume without altering your gig settings. Hope this is helpful.

@onevoiceinc2 ай бұрын
What style(s) of music do you play? If you want to go from Dream Theater to AC/DC to RadioHead to old 60's clean tone, the Katana Artist is pretty darn versatile. If you (like myself) prefer a standard straight ahead rock sound (with three to four different stages to go from clean to intense) AND you don't mind buying a very small handful of pedals to add to the sound (I could easily run this with my Wampler Tumnus Deluxe in front and the Keeley Echo Dual Delay in the effetcs loop and call it a day. Two pedals. All the other stuff is for cleaning up gain noise (Boss NS2), lowering my studio room volume without turning the amp knobs (JHS Little Black Amp Box), boosting the overall volume for standout solos in potential live settings (TC Electronic Spark Booster mini), and I just really really like the Boss DD8 reverse delay sound underneath everything, haha!), the Bassbreaker 30 is awesome and where it's at. I will admit I haven't played it live ~yet~ (I'm planning that for next weekend), but if it sounds like how I think it'll sound live, I will probably be replacing my DSL with the Bassbreaker 30 as my new live rig. One other consideration to consider is that these are being discontinued (for whatever reason Fender has for that decision), so supply for new models will be limited. I own both the Kat and the Bassbreaker. I love both. I just really really quickly warmed up to the Bassbreaker sound, right out of the box. It's the sound I've been trying to reconnect to since I sold my old Hughes & Kettner Tour Reverb amp. I think I've found it here. Anyway, hope this was helpful. :)

@@onevoiceinc Thanks for the reply, I usually play Pink Floyd, Guns and Roses and all that stuff, I already have the Peavey 5150 that I bought in 1988 but it doesn't work anymore.
@@onevoiceinc lol , is this thing loud enough to jam with drummer , I am buying my first elec guitar and amp , should I buy MARSHALL DSL40 , Fender Champion or Boss katana ?
@onevoiceinc2 ай бұрын
@Rob-ik6ri it should be loud enough to keep up with a drummer. What style(s) of music are you playing (so I can properly answer the rest of your question)? To be honest, for what I am presently using mine for, I get it remotely close to 10 or 11 o'clock on the 20 watt setting... BUT the drummer isn't right beside me, and he has some plexiglass in front of him so there's that. Regardless, it's a giggable amp, for sure. One other thing... IF you're able, I'm working on a review video for my new Fender Bassbreaker 30r amp. I am personally loving the tone frequencies and the extra features even more than my DSL40 (Totally honest review, right?). I just posted two song videos featuring it (a Peter Gabriel song and a Jimi Hendrix song), but I'm still possibly a few days out in the editing process for that review. LONG story: in the last couple of weeks Fender (JUST) announced they were discontinuing that amp. So there's a lot to consider - I love the amp so much I bought a second one, just in case I ever needed a backup in the years ahead - but it definitely threw me a curve ball in how I'm doing this review. The Bassbreaker 30r has a separate EQ per side (unlike the DSL), but the Marshall DSL is a tiny bit quieter as far as hum/hiss/gain noises associated with high gain (even at lower volumes). A lot to consider. My apologies for such a lengthy response, but I always want to make sure you have as much available info as I can provide before spending that hard earned money for an investment. :)

@@Rob-ik6ri @Rob-ik6ri great stuff!! Yeah, the DSL40 should probably do right for you. If you're looking for pedal options, either give me a shout out watch the end of that Peter Gabriel video I did - I listed all the gear I used at the end. It was either that video or the Jimi Hendrix video I just uploaded. One of those two anyway. :)

Hey. I've watched a ton of amp test vids (mainly because I occasionally get the itch to buy a new amp and guitar shops are getting fewer and fewer) and I have to say that this one was really really good. Too many online reviewers talk crap or can't really play anything other than a few tired old blues licks. Or, when the gain is cranked, all they do is chug for twenty seconds, before trying those same blues licks as before but letting them ring a little longer, then doing the devil horns sign with their picking hand. It's dreadful. Really cliched stuff. Your vid was properly informative and I enjoyed it. Helps that you can play, too. As a result I've subscribed. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.

@ProcalHarem very kind! I definitely •try• to come at this from the "if I'm on a budget and only able to buy one thing, what would I want to know about with this product?" mindset. For a larger part of my guitar journey, that was my own reality. If I can help one person avoid buyer's remorse (from their own hard earned cash), sign me up! :) On that note, I bought and tried out a VERY competitive amp (to the DSL) a few months ago - the Fender Bassbreaker 30r. If you're looking to buy an amp currently, please look at that also. I'm trying to get a legit review video out for it ASAP, but I can't seem to get it out fast enough with work schedule. Both amps have strong selling points. I find myself loving the Bassbreaker 30r more than the DSL40 (personally for my own individual musical tastes). There are a small handful of review videos on KZbin in the meantime... while I try to push to get this review out. I'll add, it's also loud! I'm using a JHS Little Black Amp Box and a Boss Noise Suppressor to make it home friendly, but unlike the DSL, it has separate EQs for both the clean and the dirty channel(s). Wanted to put that out there in case one of these amps might be more suited specifically for you. :) With that out of the way, thank you again for your kind words. Makes this channel and the time spent creating it so worth it. Have a wonderful day, friend.

@JamesHawkins-m2s one thing to add (after discovering it a few months ago): try the Fender Bassbreaker 30r, or at least look it up and see if it's the absolute perfect amp. It rocks brutally AND gets those Eric Johnson cleans so well! I'm actually working on a review for it now. I still actively use the Marshall live and still love it, but I've gone over the moon with the Bassbreaker 30r. It has an EQ pet channel, and the natural amp frequencies are to die for. It's a new discovery I've been using the past two or three months (and since posting this Marshall review). :)

@onevoiceinc I'm a huge fan of AIC as well. It's funny cause I know most people, and the music industry group Soundgarden and AIC together because they came out of the same city around the same time, but to me, it's hard to compare them to each other. Its like comparing Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd. Sure they are both rock bands that came out-of England in the 60s and 70s, and they both changed the landscape of popular music, but they are so different. Idk if that's a good analogy but it makes sense to me.

@onevoiceinc I can totally relate to experimenting with different ways to record audio and video in the pursuit of better tone and higher quality audio. I've been scouring YT and online forums and spent a few thousand dollars on different audio gear learning how to record myself playing guitar. I started a Guitar YT channel about a year ago. I haven't posted anything in about 4 or 5 months because Iost my job and have had some other stressors in my life, but I need to get back to being creative. Honestly, I think I started the YT channel because of the allure of different potential revenue streams and also all the free gear I see other channels get. Lol. If I'm honest with myself I think I'd be misusing my time making gear videos when it's not my true passion and won't help me with what I actually want to do. Instead I've been using my time writing songs and trying to get the best possible recording of them.

@michaelmay9059 believe it or not, I originally started this channel as an extension of a free guitar theory/ education site I had created. Prior to the site, i was going to just do live music theory seminars (?) as an extension of my other musical projects and duties to help guitarists get more out of their instrument and be able to learn live content faster as a result. It got shot down by some ~naysayers~ who could also pull some strings. I refused to be defeated, and I got the idea to start a site and later this channel. My thoughts were to keep it free and keep those annoying commercials off the site and the YT channel, so I never monetized the channel... only to realize YT adds advertising anyway (sigh). Somehow, it's shifted into more of a gear review channel over the years. But yeah, being able to create and help people has been the motivation, even if it's helping people to be able to make better informed information on gear (and not regretting spending their hard earned money on gear they won't like or need). It all starts with creating music, though. From there, creating various forms to deliver it (ie recording, live shows, KZbin, etc). I visited your channel just now, and noticed you had a Collective Soul song on your site that I've also been working on for the review video I've been working toward. Funny! Small world! But let me say YOU CAN DO MOST OF EVERYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO DO (minus flying or wall crawling. That just doesn't work, haha). I want to STRONGLY encourage you to create and see where it leads you. I'm going to subscribe to your channel right now to add my tiny contribution, and if I can help in any way I'm able to, let me know. We're more than a KZbin community, we're a musical community. I like what you wrote, and I'll be rooting for you, brother. :) Rock on, loudly!!
