I have the same Thornbuckers but uncovered in a strat body. I found them too bright and tending a bit thin. I changed the 500K pots (which I bought specifically because we are always told humbuckers should have 500K pots) with 250K pots. In an amp that sounds good for a classic strat, these pickups are now in about the same general tonal range. It was most weird when a huimbucker guitar sounded brighter thasn a strat! Problem now solved. The mess that is pickup wire color coding was a pain for me too.

I tried to tune to drop D and now I am so fucked, no string can be tuned now lol stupid floating trems

Wouldn't pink noise have been better?

This is the best video for figuring out what reactive load you should get. The topic itself can make you go down a lot of dark roads that you can get lost on. Thanks for putting this together as i know it was a lot of work editing the video.

Thanks for that, love.X-Load for the win!

Nice video. I have an amp with a built-in Two-notes topedo load box and I.R. simulator. Very convenient for home players.

I got this engl cab it weighs a ton but sounds great😊

After installing this blocking mod, can we add a d-tuna ? Because of the blocked Floyd Rose then instead of retuning the D string we can use the d tuna, right ? Another question, can we still pull up AND pull down the floyd while we blocked it at the back ? Sorry for my poor knowledge, I will get my first floyd rose guitar in few days :’)

I hate it when they have nice specs but they fail at the assembly and you got a midrange guitar sold as a deluxe model.

how can we donate to you to help the cause?

People shouldn't expect less from you tubers that make clickbait titles like this. Is this a bummer? Very little of a bummer, definitely not worth the title of the video. This is to be expected of even expensive digital pedals and is the reason why serious players get isolated power bricks. Congrats to OP for getting the views and amount of comments his channel needed.

Hope that everything will be fine soon. Stay safe and sorry for the news.

I admire how composed you are in the circumstances, and wish you well with the rebuild. It could have been worse, and now you have the opportunity to make any low level tweaks you may have anyways wanted to implement with your studio infrastructure. For example, have you ever thought of adding CAT cables under the floor and breaking them out into 4 channels of XLR at each end? I really like this method of clean wiring throughout my entire home.

I've tried both the PS-100 and IM2, and kept the IM2. I've tried it through 4 boutique amps and 3 cabs. It sounds and feels great.

What exactly are we listening to in the sound examples section? Is it the unprocessed line out signals, or the line out signals going through a cabinet impulse response (which one?)?

Thank you so much for this video. I will buy the Peterson StroboStomp👌🏻💪🏻

I have a power station and have found it to be very neutral and it has a couple pretty nice tone shaping features that come in handy depending on what kind of tones you're after.

White spots on the knobs looks great

keep us updated!! stay healthy!!

I think the overall impedance curve of these units needs to be taken into account together with input vs output, as you wouldn't see them on a test like this. I wonder if some of them tuned that together with their impedance response to make it hit a certain target together.

Okay so actually the only issue was two preamp tubes even though the auto bias didnt indicate it?

Hey great video I’m still getting a bad sound though. I’m using a Gibson Les Paul through Friedman 100w head to the ox to Apollo twin onto logic. It’s just so much worse than mics on an speaker. I must be doing something wrong..

I had to send back both of the Ltd I ordered because of qc issues, and was quite bummed as well. Especially since they moved most of the production to Indonesia. These 2, H3 1007B and Arctic Metal 7, were the reasons why I switched to Solar. The guitars are probably made in the same, usual factories anyway, but it seems that Esp doesn't pay enough to guarantee proper quality control compared to other companies. Their Ltd's reaching E2 prices doesn't make it better either. The most shocking part is that you got a Korean model, which are usually good. Guess I'll stick to my 2 Solars. I always wanted Esp as a kid, but fate decided that I shouldn't. After all, I can't just order every model and then send it back if more of the Ltd models are flawed, or Thomann will probably blacklist me lol

Terrifying... Glad to hear that you've been safe (and that you didn't lose everything)... Best of luck with the rebuild, best wishes from France

What a thorough analysis. Thank you.

Sorry to hear that, wish you a good rebuild ! Glad your family's safe

I guess Koch Loadbox has a reactive element in it and has a pretty sophisticated DI section - I would be interested to see how it compares....

Aren't all seymour duncan's color coded different than other brands? I always see that when i see wiring schematics for pots. Their green color etc is different than all other brands. (btw good choice on the thornbuckers). I thought both sets sounded great, but the Suhr's sound more classic. I like low output into higher gain boosted with a pedal vs higher output. Both of those sets sound great, the thornbuckers are just more my style, they have that classic more PAF type dynamic.

This video series has been extremely helpful. Thank you doing all this detailed work and sharing it on the internet. The results are illuminating.

Hey man this was a great vid! I'm taking just what I was looking for: that I can go from line out to interface and run my IRs in my pc. One question tho... what's the difference of going out through the FX send to the interface?

Hi. Line out, I own a Soldano SLO 30 with a Line out, sound is good into the daw with an IR inside, but i want to know if there is a difference with a load Box, since Load Box receives amplifier signal from speaker outlet. Any Information about it? thanks in advance.

Looking forward to seeing you back in there soon. Good luck with the rebuild

BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Sending you best wishes from across the other side of the planet…South Western Australia

Horrible stuff, I hope you will rise again soon!

man who dont have isolated power supply today ?

Ohh man sad to hear that, but glad you and your family are fine, all material stuff can be replaced.

Glad that you are safe

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get to rebuild without any lasting damage to the house. I think Central Europe is going to have to plan communal infrastructure and architecture to withstand increasingly unpredictable weather.

Hallo my Freund, my Herz ist with Dir, so sorry for Dein Studio. Hier in der Schweiz auch alles under Water. Bis bald mein Freund..... Roland from CH

Too bad!!!! Hope to see you soon.

Sad!!!Courage!!!!!

Excellent series

Impressive work… Thanks a lot for your dedication, time and neutrality!

And here we are at the final conclusion ! Thanks for the huge amount of work. It's so useful ! You rock !

In my personal experience, 30+ years playing, 20 of those as a prpfessional player: Japan made is always better than USA built...and cheaper. They just have that tradition in wood work that it is just unparalleled in the world.

I daisy chain my polytune and get zero noise from it. Surprising that a company who specializes in power supplies couldn't get this right.

What oil did you use? Is it ok to oil roasted maple neck? I called suhr they said it will get stained and swollen. Is that true?

This Boss OD200 sounds amazing with Humbuckers.
