FAQ#7 My old videos are cringeworthy

[@oswaldovelasquez6424]

man, I´m glad you are back, please keep up with the Harley Benton reviews, keep being unbias and honest!. Maybe some "how to customize" a HB. etc. Keep Rocking!.

[@olivarionline]

Welcome back. The best episode you had i think is when you drove to Thomann and did the interview with Mr Harley Benton about the process they go through before selling them and we saw some prototypes. Keep it up.

[@2free2snakes]

I found your videos to be informative. Information about HB guitars when there was not that many rivals reviewing them yet. Nowadays you'll find a lot of reviewers for cheap guitars. Some of them might even take influence from your early videos.

[@brocluno01]

#1 - Your videos are honest and sort of natural. That's why we tuned in. Polished and Pro are not necessarily appealing ... #2 - You are looking at the world from the point of view of the EU and Germany. Not a viewpoint we get easily in the USA. We sometimes get hints of way of life in your videos (work, family, etc.) and that is entertaining and informative. #3 - Yeah - HB is a big deal in the affordable guitar world, but so are other things like Kemper, and even cool used guitars from your local shops ... So keep showing us stuff that catches your fancy. All good.

[@royrcf]

Great to see a new video loved your reviews, look forward to the new ones.

[@CrowsBrother]

Your old videos were great ! And they informed a lot of people. You did your best and were yourself,- that's honest and real.

[@CoryMura]

Thats true! And i always appreciate your comments

[@fatboyblind16]

Good to see you back on youtube. Hope life is treating you well. Don't feel embarrassed by your older clips. they may seem dated but content is king!!! I'd watch a basic, unbiased review rather than a glossy presentation designed to sell, keep it coming Cory :)

[@Axess-sv8nq]

I loved your Gear Snobs one! I watch it every so often. It's a bit of comfort when I'm dealing with many of them.

[@HaraldEngels]

Your old videos have charm :-) You should stand by those ... What always came along is your passion. So please keep things going ...

[@glennwhitlock1272]

Hey, Cory. Hi from the UK. Don't spend time looking back over your videos and cringing. We could all look back over our lives and think " jeez.... did I really do/say that!". I still get the shivers when I remember some of the s#@t I did. Now, let's have some of your great videos, young man!!!

[@Steven_SK]

Your videos are fine. No cringe at all. You are your own worse critic. Keep after it and things evolve! Thanks for the vids. I am new to your channel and enjoy it. I Think every tool you use can be used as part of the video and part of a comparison.

[@Doug5524]

keep up the good work I really look forward to your vids

[@wallysef5653]

Good to see you again Cory !! Kemper profiler is really awesome. IMO it needs some time to get the right rigs and the right adjustments. Rig manager has about 16000 rigs available, lots of them crap and some really nice. It"s probably worth paying few € for pro rigs, especially when you pay 1700 € for the profiler (but I haven't so far).

[@bluepedalsrock9271]

“Damn those cleans are shockingly good!” I wound up buying that HB explorer because of you. It arrived a few days ago and I’m in love. 🤘

[@TobysGuitarGearDemos]

Kemper is amazing, I want one so bad, would love to see some content around it 👍

[@CoryMura]

Thanks for the input toby!

[@anawrest]

thank god, you are back!!! use the kemper man!!!

[@CoryMura]

Oh man.. I will!

[@schreds8882]

I liked your old vids that were long. I put them on and just listened. Sam Deeks' channel is like that. He converses for an hour or more and it's calm and frankly, more interesting than anything on television. 😀 So I'd like you to go back to your long form videos.

[@TheBigH1975]

Kemper works fine as far as I'm concerned. Whatever makes it easier for you. Good to hear you'll be back. :)

[@morph7065]

Take your own time and life's more important! We'll all still be here . Keeper yes !quality piece of kit my friend let me borrow his while he's working abroad, I might be able to figure it out by the time he gets back!!

[@morph7065]

Kemper!!!!

[@davidwilkin1202]

Nice to see you again Cory. Hey Kemper, check out Blues Rock Guitarist Anthony Gomes.....He uses one!!!

[@i_am_still_human]

Some "Insight" videos on Harley Benton would be very interesting (like the one where you chatted with the HB boss :D)

[@sonysoni5079]

Great to see you back, by the way that German accent is awesome. Kamper with same unversal settings is nice solution , but i wuld like to hear DI-s of the every instruments to, irregardless of instrument. Bass, guitar... that is the only indiscriminate way to compare instruments in your own ecosystem . Ps. Sorry on my bad English. See you around.

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

Your old videos document Harley Benton. They are a valuable source of information. I hope you'll keep them online.

[@CoryMura]

Thanks! They will not be deleted anyday

[@CoryMura]

I need new questions or interesting comments under here to continue. Please!

[@PooNinja]

It’s your opinion and description more over the tone for me as Ery bodys “perfect tone” is subjective and different. If you like the Kemper use it! I have been joking about a kemper VS camper vid Should a new touring artist buy a travel trailer to live in and tour with or a kemper amp at the same cost? 😂🤘🏽 Great to see you looking well

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

Fine with me. To be honest, all I ever want to hear from a guitar is its clean tone. The rest only documents your amp and taste. I'd rather see good pictures of it and hear what you think of the instrument, if it could be set-up properly, if the tone knob works, how thick is the neck, can you see the pots through the veneer…

[@evanwilliams8908]

I found your channel looking reviews for joyo/Harley Benton pedals. Kempers are interesting but well beyond my pay grade.

[@KnowThings]

Kemper is great, hope to see your feedback! The use of it totally depends. If you are an old rock'n'roller, the things is useless, as you have to feel the speakers blowing at you. With modern bands, I'm a tiny bit familiar with the current metal rigs, using in ears, quite stage, the Kemper is your go-to equipment. From Korn to Trivium, Parkway Drive, Blink182, Broilers and Testament (unsure, if these should all get name in one sentence?! :-)) all use the Kemper live (for Guitar and Bass) and hab a KILLER sound. The only sound you have on stage is the drums, thats it. It makes live performances sound more like studio recordings, as you reduce a big variable. If you go the next step, the bands get a click track to their ears, but I think from that second on, it's just playing down you presentation, planned second for second and thats it. The individuality get's lost then.

[@jdante539]

I like your videos, I think I have watched almost every one I hope to see more in the future. If you want to do a video on the Kemper that would be great.

[@kisonpuker]

Your old vídeos make me buy my Harley bentons and a Dean and glad you did that long. Use the kemper as much as posible, it is another tool, just add real amps to compare

[@eddiespectral]

Hi Cory!! Could you recommend me a HB or similar guitar for metal and a low tuning like Drop B? A very important thing: it has to be for lefties (because I am a left handed player). I appreciate good playability (stay in tuning and nice fret high), and pickups who can hold low tunings good sound. Thanks!!!.

[@CoryMura]

I will answer this in the next q&a, i hope you can wait for this

[@Steve-nq8jc]

I think a Kemper is a great idea, they are a great studio and touring solution

[@grayfool]

Good to see you Cory. Why not use the Kemper? It would give you a much wider range of options. I have enjoyed your video "history" and how you try to show each guitar in a way that can be compared to other models. This gives a level of reference to your videos rather than just saying whether you like the review model or not. Looking forward to future output. Thanks for your work. I still have the HB CST24 I bought after seeing your review a couple of years ago.

[@CoryMura]

God.. I think you are almost with me since day one. or at least since the very early days

[@grayfool]

@@CoryMura It's been a while. Worth every minute.

[@SRguitar]

For guitar reviews the Kemper should be a good choice!

[@williammaloy7179]

Don´t be so self critical. Those old videos are what got me following your channels. Don´t discount that you are part of what makes this entertaining. It is not just the subject matter and information. Take a bow brother.

[@williammaloy7179]

What do you think about reviewing Locking tuners for HB. TE and ST. I always hesitate to buy any because I am not sure they will fit. Not sure if the hole is 9.8mm or 10?

[@CoryMura]

You could ask thomanns hotline per mail if they can answer those measurements for you. They normally try their best to answer.

[@blamedesign]

Hi! Wollte mir in naher Zukunft mal eine E-Gitarre anlegen und gerne spielen lernen. Kannst du mir denn eine gute empfehlen (Einsteigergitarre für etwa 150€ + -) ?

[@enricofugazzi5206]

Welcome back

[@ColinStuart]

Remember, it was your older videos that made me subscribe!

[@jeronimomartinezfabregas]

Cory, I looked up your Harley Benton Facebook group, tried to join a week ago, still waiting to be accepted. Tho maybe I found an old group page that isn't working anymore? Just in case, please post a link to your Harley Benton Facebook group. I have some questions and fotos about my new Harley Benton SC-Custom VB (which I first saw in one of your old "cringy" videos :D).

[@vyacheslavmalkov425]

Don't worry man, Kemper is going to be fine for reviews!

[@TheEmmanuel12]

You were my inspiration to start a KZbin Channel (Is called Brkn Hvn by the way) so please keep making videos! Saludos desde México!

[@LuCallofDuty1]

Use kemper with the most popular amp simulations for your guitar reviews

[@BADMUSICIANS]

Nice! You're back! Just like Terminator promised!)))))))))

[@MajorUpgrade]

What's up dude! Good to see you on dude! If you send me a Kemper, I'll be happy to try it...xD

[@Heglin82]

Sure, i would use a Kemper if i had one, do it!

[@shatvani]

Beck's is good? :D

[@dermatze__]

You lucky one, that you cann afford a kemper

[@cordero6960]

[@CoryMura]

And they are true

[@i_am_still_human]

Go Kemper!

[@cordero6960]

[@CoryMura]

You can call me whatever you want really

[@vapporiesat3125]

Kemper is nice for in the studio. Imho they suck live. there is something to a marshall full stack that a kemper can not deliever.

[@cordero6960]

[@CoryMura]

[@anestisgr1772]
