Yeah, my blue one is about 14 pounds and yes that’s a BC Rich warbeast nice one. I love mine

Sounds like good for stuff like the band Bush. There is less body and some distortion, its good and maybe if we attach a distortion pedal maybe, we can add more effect and sustain and more body if we add a bigger cab, but it looks good enough for home. Good demo

My Dude! Thank you for that post. We be totally sympatico. Ima buy me the RED one right now! Thank you! -am

Whyare you showing and demoing in the dark??? Shine a light on it!!!!!

Hi, i have a Vox combo but idk how to connect the Power Soak to my amp. I don't really understand what they say on the manual. Please help 😅

-yo how do you do that-

When you said "that's how far the second channel goes, but here's the Overdrive Channel" I was momentarily confused. I forgot this amp has four channels.

Try Hocking it up to a 4 X12 quod box for extra bottom end .and an EQ for more control.just learn how it works take time.

i appreciate that this video is 6:02 long

I agree with you on the DiMarzio Super Distortion vs Duncan Distortion. I've always loved the Super D, and it is a fine pickup, very widely used, legendary, with a lot of historical significance, being as it was the first popular aftermarket pickup. But the Duncan Distortion has withstood the test of time better than the Super Distortion. There are a number of reasons for this, but here are a few. For one, even though the Duncan Distortion was first introduced to the world in 1980, it is tighter and has more bite and far better harmonics than the Super Distortion, three aspects which would make it a more relevant pickup as the highs rolled on. By 1985 players left and right were ditching DiMarzios for Duncans. They were just more relevant. A JB is far more versatile than a Super Distortion and has as much crunch, better harmonics, cuts through a mix better, and is tighter, but a Duncan Distortion has the icing on the cake of being even tighter with even more snarl and bite. It's still fun to pop a Super Distortion into an ax and play classic rock, but a JB or Duncan Distortion has more balls and power and harmonics and can get you into more of a contemporary headspace because of these qualities. They always say, "It's the player, not the gear," but a player will always do a better job with better gear. Put Mario Andretti in a go-cart, and he's still Mario Andretti. But he won't be winning any stockcar races. Pickups are the engine of an electric guitar. You need a good engine to get up to speed. The Duncan Distortion is a V-12 Lamborghini engine.

These are both very solid pickups and I've used both. The Distortion is a JB with a ceramic mag. They otherwise share very similar DNA. The Distortion is raw but also very clear for such a high output pickup. The JB is more open, and that's natural for an alnico 5. The Distortion has a massive ceramic magnet and it's more tuned towards metal. I played on the Sunset Strip in the 80s and the JB was the single most popular pickup, followed by the Duncan Distortion, Custom, DiMarzio Super Distortion, X2N, MegaDrive, EMG 81, Bill Lawrence 500 XL, etc.

The first sound was also ok and i made the drum roll with my mouth but then when you turn it on, it's just simply plain satisfactory

This is awesome Ken! I got my first guitar in 1993 after discovering HELMET! A “Lyon” Strat copy 😂 *The answer is no… man did I hear that a lot growing up!

Fun review. I would be happy with any of these amps. Throw in a pedal or two... Plenty of sounds and tones on tap.

Man I've never liked the Orange sound, this endorses that. The Marshall wins for me.

Woah! You are heading out on the road Ken!?

I have never seen this pedal before. Sounds good.

Ken I’ve been trying to find your old video of a song you wrote that I really like. I remember it was in black and white with you in your back yard. Do you have the link? Loved that song 😊

Happy belated birthday Ken! I also feel the same way as you with the heaviness off existence heavy on my shoulders. Just know that your honesty and vulnerability makes you a star! I’ve followed you for years since the tent days and if I was in the USA I’d love to have a jam with you! Don’t ever change mate! If more people were as honest and vulnerable as you the world would be a better place! Lots of love from Australia! Rock on man!

I have this amp!👍

Hey there, I know I’m a year late to this but alas, better late than never. I have the chance to get one of these for a pretty reasonable price. I’m looking for an amp to replace my Orange Crush 12, and I mainly play like Tool, Metallica, stuff like that, but I’d be using it as a bedroom amp, is it able to suit well for those kind of sounds without being cranked all the way up?

I might have a go at making one of those.

Ken! You look like a Catholic Priest... Father METAL! This was a great video, thanks for posting!

Man I love TELECASTERs! That guitar screams "Tom Morello!"

NAD! Thank you for sharing the excitement Ken! I like Sweetwater, they are a great company. That is a gorgeous Laney! Where are you located Ken? I wish you were my neighbor! *HELMET covered a couple Black Sabbath songs in Drop D, they are SICK!

Nice, need to play some sabbath!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Look at those dreadlocks! WOW! Did you put them in or just natural? My wife has massive dreads!

Done man, happy birthday from the UK 😊

Thank you Sir! Obviously we share a love of guitars and gear… and I won’t turn down a nice glass of Bourbon 🥃 either!

Happy Birthday Ken! My birthday is June 3rd, and I have the same vintage eye glasses. I also love tobacco in a pipe!

So warm, is it worth $450? Marketplace

Hmm. I had tuning issues with the electric Ukulele i made, it took ages for the new strings to settle.

Cool demo, thanks!

Nice guitar, is that a USA model ?

Horrible demo and sounds like shit.

Hey man great demo. I have an opportunity get one of these at a great price… but I’m wondering, would this be too loud for playing at home? Or can the master volume help with that?

I just picked up a DSL40 after trading in a bunch of gear that I wasn't using. My only real gripe is that the 4 channels don't have their own EQ's. In that regard, this amp really fits the bill. It might be too much amp for me though. I've seen it at $1999 at some of the online retailers, so it is considerably less expensive than its MESA competitors, and others. Money is tight for me too, so maybe one day. In the meantime, I am digging my first tube amp. Everytime I plug in, it's hard to believe the difference in sound.

Do you use footswitch for reverb?

Is that the original neck? Because I have a GIO like this and it does not have bindings

Awesome tone bro. I recently got a nice budget Ibanez Gio too

awesome

can you use pedal effect there or multi effect?

The red emg would look nice

Found same but lower end esp single pickup at garage sale $5

No comments because money's tight and, in any case, the trend in guitar culture right now is towards being cheap. But this thing sounds absolutely EPIC.

Just bought one for my Sire S7 FM Blue for the bridge position. Needs that little bit more of the umph that's lacking in the factory pickup. I get your preference, I started with an Ibanez JS1000BTB but my tastes change depending on my mood. Don't limit yourself ;)

It’s literally a humbucker just in a single coil size but the key is making sure you’re running it with a 500k pot. And then it’s literally a metal machine.

But does it go to 11?
