[@andresjacome296]

Did anyone else get goosebumps when he played that riff from "No distance left to run"?

[@sankdr.8620]

Annika 4:40

[@Ukedc259]

Andrés Jácome yes

[@snoogans81]

For some more lovely No Distance by Graham . . . kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnPGqZ2uad6Jd8k

[@bann13]

​@@snoogans81 so soulful

[@wonderpope]

What I like is, how he's the only guitar player who is after an "aweful" and "nasty" guitar tone...love you Graham!

[@joerobinson6199]

wonderpope lol

[@liontrystan6604]

That's just not true is it

[@ZosoHacker]

THAT LITTLE FLICK at 20:20!!! Jeez!! Nearly spat my tea out!! Gorgeous.

[@kazmikh342]

Whenever i get tired of listening to virtuosic guitar music Blur is always my go to, so spiritual and full of stories

[@paulparker8298]

Coxan is a fucken epic guitar player

[@MAYOTUBENSTAR]

Blur Songs: 4:42 - No Distance left to run 9:40 - Song 2 12:43 - Charmless Man 18:30 - Coffee and TV

[@rashhuman]

You missed one. 2.22 Freakin’ Out.

[@JoaquinCorreaDrums]

I know Holdsworth, Mclaughlin, all those guys but Graham Coxon is one of my favourite guitar players. He is really up there with the best.

[@mj900456]

COFFEE & TV

[@MarlonKingShow]

What a great guy. Really down to earth. Cool product... but I'm off to listen to some blur albums now 😀

[@carrottone1797]

His own albums are much better☺ In my opinion.

[@ceebee491]

Best British Guitarist In my humble opinion

[@wanmorgan]

Sounds great, very warm and natural...

[@cellardoor1626]

That sounds so good!

[@FlorenciaE]

Great video! Love Graham and that Revstar RS620 sounds amazing 💖

Gracias a Audient por traer al Namm 19 a uno de los mejores y más grandes guitarristas de la historia del Rock 🎸

[@mediocrefunkybeat]

Since using an ASP 4816 at work on a daily basis, I've been totally converted to Audient gear. Great on the phone, too. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with next.

[@skeletonpete]

One of the best demos posted from NAMM19 so far. I think the Sono's tube pre and re-amping features make it a versatile production tool beyond the amp emulation suite.

[@joerobinson6199]

skeletonpete I just watched another channel’s demo and this sounded much better.

[@strummer-ze6ro]

i want to buy one now, amazing piece of kit :)

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

this video introduced me to the song Freaking out...thanks its a brilliant tune

[@manlikedave1]

What a legend

[@vacuumelite2065]

Nice ! Best riff to show off the rig ...should have played : 'There's No Other Way'.

[@lance134679]

Thanks for the demo. I think having a built-in re-amp output is brilliant, though I think I've seen it on other guitarist-centred interfaces. I've got amps, microphones and preamps I really like, so recording a direct track as well as through an amp might be a good idea in case I want to change the sound after.

[@electrolinks]

Graham. The best.

[@sigma5054]

awesome guitarist

[@arbcovers]

Very cool.

[@TC2290-wh5cb]

Good to see even Graham forgets the chord changes to Coffee and TV sometimes. I defy anyone who hasn't played it for a few weeks to play it perfectly first time.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Oh Yamaha revstar rs620, nice choice. I’ve got a rs820. It sounds awesome

[@darwindarwin7923]

Coffee & TV part, that major or minor part he played to annoyed the band... it's annoyingly genius...

[@justingarcia7722]

The price point, reamping ability and ability to use your own preamp sells me on this

[@ortigasraymundo]

SAME SAME SAME GUITARS.....not in GRAHAM COXON’S WORLD. VARIETY AND CRAFTY! PURE GENIUS AND BRILLIANCE!

[@marcosvivanco2433]

master of riff

[@vvvikaaxxx6552]

I love him

[@ortigasraymundo]

GRAHAM! GUITAR GENIUS!

[@p3763]

i love him

[@roqueeeeeeeee]

his riffs are absolutely sick! ♥

[@marti18-]

I love you Great''

[@variousthings6470]

I want that Doctor Doom T-shirt!

[@evilzjackson3407]

i started sobbing when i heard no distance left to run, i can't hAndLe this

[@martinleandro685]

Saludos desde Argentina, cat.

[@Kkidzz]

Graham loves his Pavement'

[@ChristopherSeCouchePugue5901]

He reminds me of Murdoc, even in his voice and the way he speaks, and he also plays the guitar!

[@najlis1784]

Murdoc plays bass though

[@arekpocicki5681]

i love yoy

[@VelhosNovos]

Why not a footswitch with channel 1/2 and boost?

[@filtafacta]

Aufentik!

[@user-tx9we2ur2q]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@megustadiscos]

coffe and tv

[@introaether937]

7:20 that's the don't fear the reaper sound!!!

[@JudgeFredd]

The NAMM19 winner ?

[@lovejoy3347]

Sharks......WITH FRICKIN LAY-SUR BEAMMMSSSS

[@Jon1Surf1Lim]

I think Graham sounds great what ever he plays through TBH it’s the fingers👍🏻

[@davecostello560]

I thought the same. He's a deceptively great guitarist. And some of those strange passing chord shapes. Coffee and T.V. a highlight for me!

[@teguhbasuki08]

Graham coxon using Yamaha revstar guitar

[@jboy9336]

9:32 his face 😂

[@marvinm.messier1120]

nice top knot

[@marti18-]

20:24 Reminds me of nirvana

[@metalupyourass9]

Awesome idea.. But missing the main part. Guitar pre amp staging.. This is basically made for a helix then? Or other pre's (in a guitar sense not mic pre's) into a daw.

[@Audientworld]

Hey Derek, Sono does actually have a guitar preamp in the form of the full voltage 12AX7 valve pre. It is a clean preamp, with a bit of added "analogue-ness", but if you wanted to use your own preamps, maybe something with a bit more gain out of the box, you can do that as well by plugging into the line input on the back, then bypassing the Sono valve preamp, but still going through the Two Notes Cab emulation. We wanted to keep it versatile for all different types of users.

[@metalupyourass9]

@@Audientworld with all the two notes stuff (which is amazing) like cab selection, mics, room etc. It would be nice to have some guitar amp emulation, soft tube style.. Just my opinion. Or even switch between a British /American (fender) voicings.

[@metalupyourass9]

It literally sounds like a fuzzy di at the end of the day. But you guys seem so full of this product not to actually listen. Sales will show.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

@@metalupyourass9 in that case that this will turn into a guitar effect processor..Just get a helix at this point or a Boss GT1000.. Or a Nural DSP VST for 100$ and a 100$ interface and call it a day...with fast computers now latency is a thing of the past..I'm looking to upgrade my 6 year old Steinberg UR22 interface and I thought wy not get the Sono...I'm a Metal blues/shred player and the tube overdrive on it is just not enough..I'll run my favorite Overdrive pedal in there and use the Torpedo cab sim..or bypass all and use it as a normal Interface with my VSTs plugins.. its realy versatile if you think about it...not to mention the excellent Audient converters..but its pricey sitting at 400$ Canadian plus taxes..

[@nikolasmolin5749]

Is that Andy Martin off to the side?

[@kaneteal_]

What was the first riff he played?

[@iroscoe]

freakin out .

[@protectorsofthespirit]

Does the “to amp” send thru while playing live?

[@Audientworld]

The "To-Amp" can't be fed directly from the inputs, it can only take a signal from the PC and play it out. To use this as an output while playing, you'd need to use input monitoring in your DAW to send your incoming signal out to output 3.

[@scotthume906]

Anyone know the name of the song from 2:06

[@zeynepb3947]

freakin' out

[@galangbimandiri4605]

does anyone know what guitar that graham use?

[@Bunter1815]

Yamaha Revstar of some sort.

[@Misteryowl]

Yeah, it's a Yamaha Revstar RS620.

[@ena94]

5:00

[@hucihucibubu8506]

what guitar is that?

[@parkart5905]

Yamaha revstar rs620

[@piplee1439]

Shit hot geeeetariste

[@ModernPsychadelic]

Please release this software for us ID44 mkii users...:)

[@Audientworld]

Its not possible to use the Torpedo remote software with the iD44 as the iD44 doesn't have the processing power built into it like the Sono does. You do get a copy of Two Notes Wall of Sound plug via Audient ARC however to give you the same sounds!

[@ModernPsychadelic]

@@Audientworld Aha..Thanks for the reply!

[@furthermoore1863]

Most of it's good but it's missing depth in the bigger heavier parts.

[@mrangryeyes4789]

Seeing all those phones out makes me sad

[@credenceia3572]

gra coxon is God

[@lamaisonrockduprocrastinat6395]

I sold my Sono one moth after because of the heat going out ... the body was too hot !

[@Audientworld]

The Sono does have a Tube in there as well as 2-class A pre-amps and DSP so it can get a little warm to the touch but this shouldn't affect the operation of the unit.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Or you could just plug your guitar into a decent amp...

[@litete2512]

I liked the part where Graham Coxon song 2'd all over the place

[@todoroki]

love Graham, but this doesn't seem any better than the effects on Garageband tbh...

[@Speedygi81]

I guess people buy it for the price and convenience

[@the_newvoice]

I probably was played that chorus far better than this guy who composed it, a long time ago on a cheapest Squier Bullet Strat. Or it's my fantasies memoria foolin...

[@lumpyfishgravy]

I'm sure the product's good, pity the video sounds like it's being played through a carpet.

[@chrisryland202]

I wish the rep would shut up or talk less and let Graham get in it...
