Epiphone SG G-400 Pro 1961 Limited Edition Guitar - Does It Drone?

[@Hellbilly1969]

Probably going to get one. The tone you got out of the Crush 20 is incredible, great work dude.

[@DoesItDoom]

Great little amps!

[@napoleonsolo5929]

@@DoesItDoom I love my Crush 20. That and my Behringer SF300 sound great together.

[@BuddhaDog93]

The reason I think the pickguard doesnt meet the body. Is that Epiphone uses different dimensions for most of their models. The LP bodies are slightly larger with a slightly shorter horn. The SGs normally have a different contour all together and slightly wider body at the horns.

[@zeronoshoten4300]

"If that is your type of thing" Well, it wasn't until I started watching these videos, and now...

[@DoesItDoom]

That’s awesome!

[@russiangoose7053]

Love seeing budget guitars being used for doom! It would be interesting if you did an Amazon Doom metal rig, a firefly guitar or something similar, some cheap fuzzes, and some kind of affordable amp. Maybe even a bass practice amp since it in theory would be cleaner and put out more low end 😂

[@notryan1502]

I use an epiphone sg special ve with an orange crush 35rt, and a proco rat 2 boosted with an Earthquaker plumes and it sounds really similar to this tone And that brings me joy

[@r.edward5701]

I have same setup minus the plumes. Using the Behringer fuzz before compression and rat

[@johnnycochran6128]

I’ve never been an SG fan, but damn. I want a gold one. That’s beautiful

Does It Doom? Man! That would have been no brainer Impulse buy time.

[@victorramsey5575]

I just bought a 2021 Epiphone SG Traditional Pro in this same color. Its basically the same guitar but with the full pickguard. It was on sale at GC for $379. When I got it home I looked inside and it does have CTS 500k pots. Nice!

[@DoesItDoom]

Nice!

[@AJ-wh1tw]

I was looking at something else, but after this video and your comment I ended up getting a Traditional Pro in gold and I love it! Just got it home today, set it up in C and plugged it in to my Micro Dark and it killed. If wish I could go back in time and tell myself that I’d be getting the best feeling and tone out of guitar and amp combination that cost a fraction of what I was playing 15 years ago.

[@HenrySchecker]

I have the same model. I swapped the pickguard for a tortoise shell spitfire guard and I swapped the knobs for gold reflector knobs with silver inserts

[@DoesItDoom]

Nice!

[@lizardguy523]

I’m hoping to get one of these for Christmas I didn’t know about the pickup switch thing but that just makes me want it even more

[@CallMeBigWorm]

One of the best decisions I made was buying one of these guitars. The weight, design, playability and even the price in my opinion is beyond great. It is very resonant even when it isn't plugged in. And I just wanted to thank you for this video man! I was hesitant about buying it at first but now I feel like an idiot for not buying this guitar sooner.

[@DoesItDoom]

Awesome!

[@PULPDOOM]

Is the black rat a good deal? Or will it be better to invest in the actual Proco rat?

I use my reissue ProCo rat as much as anything.

[@discharge666]

Hi Steve, can a baritone be used for stoner doom music or is a regular downtuned guitar with its characteristic floppy strings more the general norm for this genre? Thanks.

[@DoesItDoom]

More and more players have been migrating to longer scale and baritone guitars over the past few years. I certainly like mine which is a baritone 7 that I have setup in drop F.

[@buckycore]

So, my experience and preference has been more death and black metal (I mean, I love doom of course). So that tone reminds me of early NY style death metal or old Swedish death metal. In a more standard tuning it would be an amazing AF raw black metal tone

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks for the insight man and thanks for watching!

I recently got the SG bug. I just scored a 2002 Epi SG Gothic, after buying a 2016 chinese faded cherry red g400, and a 2004 faded cherry g400. I was hunting a mik gothic down for months. I didnt want another chinese epi, though my chinese faded cherry is actually pretty well-made. I just love korean craftsmanship. I also have two korean squier pro tones, one black fat strat SSH with a floyd and super jumbo frets (i was mostly a strat guy, and lucked out with that guitar), and the red 96 protone standard (i really want a blue/aged green protone to my collection). So i set out on korean sgs when I got the SG bug after obsessing over Pentagram and Sabbath. Lol I just scored the 2004 faded cherry MIK epiphone sg on a bid. It has a the strap locks modded on the horn, like how Iommi has his, but it seems to be in a position where it shouldnt cause problems with breakage. And it also has binding. Even feels a bit better than my chinese, and is still in tune after a week and a half of shipping! Never had that happen before. Thought I was done until I saw the 2002 matte black sg gothic i am still waiting on... i guess is has a fatter neck, but not as fat as a 59 les paul, and i never had a guitar with a fat neck. My hands aren't huge or tiny, so i think i will like it. The gothics just look freaking evil and badass, and couldnt let another mik goth g400 slip away. After finally getting the gothic, i may have to calm down with buying guitars for a while lolol, but man, I now want a mik sg g400 korina. Those korinas look sexy af. I am happy to get mik epis instead of dishing out more money for gibson sg with sketchy quality control. In the future, I plan to get a tokai or a mik or mij les paul before Id get a gibson. Those 89 epiphones with the open book headstock are juicy af

[@DNYS8N]

I am so confused by SG epiphones, are there like a dozen different ones? Why is the pro-400 cheaper than all of them if they are the better pick? Thx

[@DoesItDoom]

I believe the “G400 Pro” name has been phased out over the past few years. For awhile it was their high end model. Not sure what they are calling them now, but prices are typically higher in general these days and most G400 Pros are going to be used at this point.

[@DNYS8N]

@@DoesItDoom yep that’s just what I’ve been seeing thx I’m not sure why when something works it gets nixed -$?

[@DoesItDoom]

@@DNYS8N think they just wanted to start using the standard “SG” moniker. Easier from a marketing perspective and gives it a closer tie to the higher end Gibson models…. That’s my guess anyway.

Yeah! Epi really killed it with these.

[@witeshade]

How's the balance on it? I had a g400 a long time ago and it sounded incredibly good, but it was too neck heavy so I ended up having to get rid of it because I was constantly fighting the headstock trying to dive all the time. I use a Japanese Les Paul copy now and the balance is much better.

I already got more guitars than I reasonably can justify, a Gibson SG Special and a heavily modified, Nitro refinished 2005 Epiphone G400 with P90 and a Bigsby among them, but goddamn this gold finish... Also: that Black Rat sounds like a steal. Got the Mooer from which this seems to be the clone, that one is more than double the price if I'm not mistaking. Anyone who does not already have like three RAT pedals this should be one absolute non-brainer!

[@DoesItDoom]

Yeah, the aesthetics on this one sucked me right in. And you are definitely right about the Black Rat-an easy steal at $26, especially considering it contains an LM308 op-amp.

I just bought the Mooer Black Secret last week and I am loving it. I'm using an SX Furrian Tele copy tuned to Drop-C, and it us surprisingly quiet, even with the single-coil pickups in Turbo mode.

[@ViviSectia]

It was even more of a steal at the beginning of the year when the Black Rat was selling for $15 with free shipping from the US on ebay. The only problem with them is the super bright blue LED. I swear it's brighter than the normal annoyingly bright blue LEDs in other pedals. Also, I'm pretty sure Mosky pedals are Mooer factory seconds.

[@ithemba]

@@ViviSectia goddaaaamn. That is a hell of a deal for such a classic plaything, thats even cheaper than to built one yourself I guess, once you bought together all the pieces. I know that any DIY Kit costs a least 20 bucks without an enclosure. While I already have all the RATs (and black secrets) I need in my life, I took the opportunity and grabbed one of their Centaur Clones for the same kind of money. Always wanted to grab one of them "transparent" ODs but never for the kind of money you got to spent for a centaur clone. Thanks for bringing them to my attention!

I have that pedal I dig it for it's under 30$ price tag I have two sg g400s as well not pros but i dig it awsome video Steve i gotta snag a g400 pro soon

[@DoesItDoom]

Yeah. Killer way to spend $26 if you’re looking for a Rat. These 1961 Pros are truly badass.

@@DoesItDoom hell yea I gotta get one I'm gonna check reverb an places

[@chazzhawk5582]

I had bought that same rat clone off of amazon....funny thing, i like it just as much as my duecetone in many situations. Excellent looking guitar.cool channel .appreciate the playaa

[@chriscurran1967]

Tony would be proud to see you review an SG Steve!!! 😂 Keep up the great work!!! I’ve subscribed to your podcast, just haven’t had time to listen yet. I will though.

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Chris! I have some more SG reviews in the works!

[@jorisdemeij]

Can’t find this axe anywhere sadly :(

[@DoesItDoom]

So well done. A small batch showed up on Amazon about 6 weeks ago but flew.

[@jorisdemeij]

Hope I can find it somewhere in Europe in the future! Thanks for the reply, love your content dude 🤘🏻

Have you try gretsch guitar? Can you make a video of can gretsch guitar doom ? I heard gretsch on metal before and I'm really surprised it sound good on it ! 👍😊

[@DoesItDoom]

I’m positive it dooms.

[@caseyking8394]

Love the budget rig, sounds great all together!

[@DoesItDoom]

Glad you thought so! Not bad for under $500 brand new!

[@caseyking8394]

@@DoesItDoom The mosky especially sounds pretty great, I think I'm gonna pick it up for my bass rig.

[@DoesItDoom]

Hard to go wrong for $26 on Amazon. Can always return it easily if it’s not for you.

Sick guitar that does indeed drone! Speaking of drone, gonna catch the Frost premier today from SunnO)))?

[@DoesItDoom]

Yes!

it was a great song !

phoque Drop you enjoying it for sure!!

[@TheGuizmo11]

@@DoesItDoom it's sound more natural and creative than the life metal album album IMO, what do you think?

[@Cocktail_Kvltist]

@@TheGuizmo11 I really enjoyed it and can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Did either of you pre-order a physical copy?

[@westernfilet]

How did you record the amp?

[@DoesItDoom]

Recorded direct. The amp has CabSim built into the headphone output. I’ve recorded many of my lessons this way using this amp actually.

[@bradleestone5344]

@@DoesItDoom I'm getting a decent sound from my 20w Champ headphone jack and seriously thinking of doing something like that 😮 THANKS ❗

[@DoesItDoom]

Brad Lee Stone does it have built in cab sim? If not, you’ll probably want to add that in.

[@bradleestone5344]

@@DoesItDoom Yes , I'm using the "tweed" sim , it's the cleanest one , sounds the best to me for running a cloven hoof fuzz (until I get my FU 2) and whatever (boss sd 1 & aw 3) I'm thinking of running it straight into my camcorder mic input , just for 2 tracks (boss rc 3 for rhythm) pedal demo ✌

[@DoesItDoom]

Brad Lee Stone Awesome!

[@jorisdemeij]

It's weird that in the pictures it's missing the binding...

[@DoesItDoom]

I believe some versions are unbound but most seem to have it. The fretboard on some is also a lighter pao ferro.

[@jasonmcgary]

Damn thats HEAVY

Indeed! Thanks for watching!

Клёвый цвет,в том году тоже себе её хотел..но их же сейчас не найти нигде кроме как на ebay или reverb?

They don't have ebony fretboards now, they switched them to pau ferro 😞

[@DoesItDoom]

Yeah, terrible move!

[@nightlord8756]

This guitar is so Great !!!! I hope there is left handed version of it.It will be cool😊

[@rodrigoxnevesx]

Hey Steve, you should do a demo/review of the EHX Flatiron. it's supposed to be a improved version of the rat. Doom on!

[@DoesItDoom]

Will check it out. Thanks!

[@NMEATM]

Can’t tell what the actual guitar sounds like because of all the fuzz. Maybe try doing a clean version first then add gain, fuzz, etc?

[@iamalpharius9483]

It drones. Among a MYRIAD of other functions. Ask BLACKNFUCKINGSABBATH that question. About the fretboard. My Fender Jazz Fretless has a synthetic fingerboard and ...IT. IS. SMOOTH!! You are the most fun in Doom dude!!!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, man! I am a big fan of the fretboard on this thing. Looks and feels amazing. Would take it any fucken day over low grade / light rosewood or pao ferro. Thanks for watching!

[@jeffreylazzarinisr7419]

I appreciate that man. Thanks for watching.

I might have to pick up one of these epiphones, my guitar's are all good but crap so

[@DoesItDoom]

They are killer. Highly recommended.

[@PearlHarbor138]

I hope they do a 2020 reissue of this with the new headstock

[@DoesItDoom]

They should!

[@PearlHarbor138]

Does It Doom? I’ve been eying this and the new blue that they have, just such a great line up but this would totally make it epic

[@JoeBat95]

Amazing!!
