very good but it's no more under 100 bucks anymore.

*Almost*

As an audio engineering specialist I knew I would be correct.☝️🤓

Wow, I was completely wrong with all 3 rigs haha! I guess that goes to show maybe you can't hear the price of gear! Or, maybe I know nothing about music 🤣🤣🤣 Great idea though James 🤘🏻

PART 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gauzoZWXo9B1h9E

I waited so long for a slideshow of expensive oil rigs

A?

all sound cheap 👎

A or C is most expensive

A or C

A?

B?

Where is the Coronado????!!!! Groooosss instrument

ACB?

Would be cool to hear it boosted with an SD1 or TS9, actually sounds pretty good for what it is

Phase 90 rules

ACB?

A>C>B

Great video concept! I’m going to go with A > C > B

Interesting idea James! I'm going for; Rig A - Cheapest Rig B - Most expensive Rig C - Middle

No idea - A, C, B maybe?

Lessss go BAC

BCA for sure

James mate I know gear better than anyone and trust me when I say that pure colombian fairy powder has a twinkling sound when you go near it whereas if sort some charlie off a geezer from Stoke on trent it remains completley silent

C-B-A

Hi, Audio engineering specialist here. CAB most expensive to least. I'm 100% sure no one can tell me otherwise.

Heck yeah! All Hail The GonkLord!

For a direct device that was made 30 years ago it sounds great. Way ahead of its time though i remember at the time they was not popular at all

Great history on Fender, James! I can't say I'm the biggest fan of their guitars, even though I own a Yamaha Pacifica which is based on a Strat. I do like the Telecaster shape, it's quite cool, but I've never liked the Jazzmaster. Can't deny how important they are as a guitar brand, many famous guitarists use Fender guitars and amps 🤘🏻🤘🏻

My friedman IRX nails it. But costs 5 times that

Hi there, first of all great and a very spot on honest review! I’ve got a Marshall JCM800 50W 1X12’ combo. To be more specific the 4210 model made in 1998. For rehearsals I used it in its original state but for live performances I always hooked it up to a 4X12 cab. Killer sounds from the ’80s and ’90s hehe.. :-) I have to say that this pedal simulates the real thing very well! It even got some identical features found on mine. The only thing that’s missing are the raw characteristics of the EL-34’s in the end stage roaring but in my opinion a minor issue. The cab simulator does its job well and of all DSPs I’ve heard and tried out, you can’t go wrong with this pedal in my humble opinion. edit: Oh yeah one more thing I forgot to mention: I miss the reverb on the pedal like on the real amp. It’s a spring reverb and it makes it sound much more massive. Cheers!

Too much gain for a real JCM-800 😉 Still a usable sound that'll fit in a mix. This was Marshall's attempt at the Sansamp DI market iirc. I think companies like Line 6 should look at modelling these, or Marshall look at making an updated version given the market for modellers.

That's a cool piece of kit, especially if you want that Marshall sound for a cheap price. It definitely sounded very AC/DC, which is I guess what they're looking for. I personally wouldn't use it because I don't need it, I've got a Marshall Code and it has a sound similar to this. It has a JCM800 that's very 80's Heavy Metal which I use all the time, and for my own solo project. Does everything I want it to 😁😁🤘🏻🤘🏻

Interesting conversation. Also a solo musician, thinking about releasing work, and grappling with formats. I was an 80's kid, and have always been an avid music fan and collector of things, so I either collected or still collect all the formats. That also means I know the frustration of mediums that don't last - I've had plenty of chewed up tapes and scratched records. The bulk of my collection is still CD, because it just keeps the longest. I get that CD isn't loved though, because its main selling points are, well, its combined selling points : cheapest to make, longest to last, easiest to store, etc etc. It's like a format invented by a marketing team. It doesn't sound warm like analog, and it holds pitifully little data as digital goes, but if you're in for the long haul, CD is the little engine that could.

sounds great, are you using a mic or an IR? (if so what mic/IR?)

Interesting video James! I myself are part of a community here on YT all about collecting physical media, it's called the Vinyl Community. Just from watching those guys videos it's clear that physical media, especially vinyl is as strong as it's ever been. However, the problem with that is the prices of physical media are increasing because they know they can charge more now. Big vinyl boxsets are like £100 at least, it's crazy when you think in the 80's a single vinyl was a couple of quid! On the CD's, I'm a huge collector of CD's, always have been. It'll be sad to see that format die out, but it might make them even cheaper which isn't a bad thing for me! The 2 main reasons as to why I like collecting CD's is because they're cheap and they're easy to store. Plus it's supporting the artist in some form. I totally understand the dilemma with selling your music physically. I had the same issue, but what I did was build myself up with the community I'm in, made friends and when it came to releasing my music, I had a couple of buyers waiting. What I did was make a small batch of CD's very DIY, put them on Bandcamp and I managed to get some sales doing that. I'm not sure if that's the route you wanna go, or if it's very helpful. But that's just my experience for what it's worth 😊🤘🏻

not nearly enough gain, probably because the feedback was getting out of hand one of the reasons Noel never plays casinos

Wow

second hand japanese gibson copy like a tokai or a greco would probably be better value. especially for first album a les paul would be a better value option. as someone else mentioned wems are £300 and a valvestate 8080 £100. then you need a tube screamer and a tape delay. tc gauss echo and a behringer ts copy are £100 for both. all in in that should be less than £800. which is a fair bit cheaper

Good job mate 👍

Interesting, i think it sounds pretty close. Could you do a deeper dive into the gear he uses in a future video?

you can get a marshall valvestate and a wem dominator for less than you paid for that vox, i see WEMs going for around £300, and marshall valvestates for £100-200. me personally i get basically all the way there with an epiphone sheraton and an SL drive into any clean amp, and its close enough for me.

Literally any other epi semi-hollow would be better....Casino is absolutley not the right choice

Nope.

I can actually pay that one, she lies

Thats some skills bro

SupeR!🤘😬❤‍🔥😉😊

We can make band I play drums lol😂 No but seriously I play drum lol😅

Well I guess he's going to be home alone 😂

Great idea for a series James, buying and trying crazy guitar gear so we don't have to haha! The E-bow is pretty cool, you can get some neat sounds out of it. I'm sure most guitarists could find some use for it, would be great for an intro or adding extra layers in the background. That pick is hilarious! I kinda want one for a laugh! 😂🤘🏻
