If David Gilmour is playing two different guitars, they're both set up differently. Different electronics, different everything. So yeah, you would expect them to sound different. I absolutely cannot stand that new Gretsch he's using. That "special" sound he's talking about, is actually just weaker pickups. It ain't no Strat. And you sure as hell can tell, when he tries to play the Comfortably Numb solo on that. That made me cringe. That is just not a good guitar for Pink Floyd leads. 😬 Maybe for some of the softer stuff, but it can't replace that Strat.

Glenn has done a lot of clean examples too, since people were bitching about that. The graphs don't lie. I have a degree in electronics theory. The most difference in sound you're going to hear from a solid body electric guitar is from the electronics. And no, not pickups. Mics and speakers. You know where most of my sound comes from? My freaking pedal board, with my EQ, and my speakers. Pickups are just preamps. They really don't make that much of a difference. Unless we're talking about humbucker vs single coil. The only things that matter in pickups are how many coils, how many windings, and how strong the magnets are. That's not tone. That's all electronic variables. And everyone overlooks what's actually inside the guitar, like the potentiometers, filter cabs, etc. Let's face it, guitarists are not usually electronics guys, at all. 😆😆😆 As Glenn has mentioned, most guitars don't even know what kind of speakers are in their amps/cabs, and that is the biggest difference in tone you will ever get out of an electric guitar. ✌️ The most important pedal on my board is my EQ. Without a doubt.

@@RayPlaysGuitar Update. The guitar arrived today. It has some buzz at the first fret, so it's going to require a setup. I might be able to do some of the work myself. It also has a small crack in the clear coat around the neck pickup, which doesn't seem like it's a big deal. When I finally get it set up properly it's definitely going to be a player.

I have a clone of this amp and it's amazing. Mine even sounds good at lower volumes. Better when the master volume is above 4, of course, but between 1 and 4 still gives usable sounds.

I'm liking this because I think a high gain amp should have also a tight crisp sound when quieter this gives the tone a wonderful ring to it that sustains, and you can really dig in and work with it. Lovely.

Picked one up last summer used but in mint shape for 450 bucks. It’s the only tube amp I’ll ever need. Loud enough for gigs but quiet enough for home use. Super-versatile, speaker outs, DI, looks cool, portable etc. 3,000-4,000 boutique amps are cool and maybe realistic for professional musicians or blues-lawyers, but for regular blue-collar folks the DSL checks all the boxes. Great video btw👍

Both speakers are kind of crappy . The 70/80 being better than the V Type is a pretty low Bar . Creamback M and Creamback H are much better with the DSl 40 amps . The G1265 Heritage is another . Extension cabs with G12H30 Heritages also sound amazing with these amps m The 70/80 sounds like a swarm of angry bees .
@Alfonzo86218 күн бұрын
@adamwatson6916 I don't want to offended you but the creamback 65 is dark and too bassy speaker and the creamback h is a heavy speaker and has an orientation towards a vintage 30 that I don't like either. I don't know about the heritage speaker. I like the 70/80 and it sounds great broken in, I am talking years which sounds great on low volume and turned up even better with a strat, less Paul or sg 61 with a ts9, ts808 or boss sd1 in front. No bee swarm here, but that depends on the player and what you like

Wonderful song! I must say though, on the main A riff you are over-emphasizing the second G, or the last note of the riff. Listen closely to the record. He is barely hitting that note if not hitting it at all. Instead of picking that note maybe do a pull-off from the A before it. But don't pick it with equal strength as the rest of the riff. Listen again to the record. I just did.
@RayPlaysGuitarАй бұрын
I hear what you are talking about. I’ve listened to some live versions where sometimes the last G is clearly pronounced and sometimes it’s like an after thought or like you said he barely plays it at all.

I have no 1st finger ,lost the tendon that controls making a fist of my pointing finger, the rest are fine . Now let me be real with much modesty, I've never used pride in my music , I've been playing for about 40 years so I'm familiar with all the craziest, most ridiculous taps ,double taps, sweeping across five strings ,using scales, modes, diminished scales that would normally destroy the integrity of the piece of music. But through expireance, hours and hours and hours of making horrible racket at the age of ...about 8-15 years of age ,I learned how to emphasis a note or two in scales that brings out that mysterious hell yea . Unfortunately a skill saw found it necessary to cut half way into my left hand, cutting two tendons and leaving lots of scare tissue causing stiffness I'm all my fingers . But i tell myself that I'm a musician, so I must find that way . I've got 9 fingers still so I play . Any advice to help me get a better spread on the fretboard would be a blessing . 2 frets are now my comfortable hammer ons ect. I've learned a lot of ways to use my thumb and picking hand fingers for making them sus 7 's and a simple bar chord . Dude you play very fluent, beautiful teaching skills so I was hoping you could do a lesson without the use of that nagging pointing finger . I don't think people realize how important that finger is . Mine is just in the way now. In our shared extra emotion I ask this of you .. your friend Dave in GA. Thank you for your showmanship in helping us to rock into blues of all guitar styles
@RayPlaysGuitarАй бұрын
Hey Dave, really sorry to hear about your finger. That is such a tragedy. However I do love your attitude - you're still a musician with 9 fingers! So I was just trying to play without my first finger. Damn it's difficult! I am primarily a three finger player, keeping my pinky curled and out of the way most of the time but I will use my pinky if I have to. But playing 3-fingers without the index is far more challenging that it may seem. Players like Mike Stern and Steve Morse had to "relearn" the guitar after experiencing physical problems. I'm sure you've seen vids of guys shredding guitar with their feet. If there is a will there is a way. So, do a lesson vid without using my first finger? I think that might be well worth doing for all players. Like you said, people don't realize how important that first finger is. Be sure to subscribe so you'll be notified when the three-finger video gets released. Thanks for watching Dave!

The first DSL40C that caught my eye had a white wrap and sold for $380. A few days later I saw a black one for the same price so I bought that one. Then a few days later I found one for $320.

I found the DSL100HR head for $500 . I had about 2 years playing on it and had to have a little work done on it. New tubes an the work was about $300. So Im only in to it for $800 total to this day and its a KILLER amp! He replaced all the capacitors in it and its like new again. I nearly bought this amp you have. I was happy I waited. Both are great amps though. I just like bigger amps more. But it sounds great and I am sure that amp is more than you need for home.
