Having worked on many many many guitars over the years and owned hundreds of guitars I can verify the pickups make a difference. A difference to the cost. A difference to the look. A difference to the resale value (sometimes) and a difference to the smugness of a player. What they don’t do is make a noticeable difference to the tones when high gain is applied especially Love the show and I’m not a metal player but find all of what you talk about useful and valuable. Cheers from the UK

[@MusicMadnessM]

Second that. I have 30+ guitars in my studio now, have a storage unit full of guitars and amps. And to be honest, there is no difference between the pickups when comparing humbuckers to humbuckers, single coil to single coil and so on. And on a side note; I have a krank Krankenstein in my studio, and I have to admit, most modern high gain amps sound veeery simular. Going to start building studio cabinets (2x12) after Christmas. Want to have a wide selection of speakers to choose from rather than walls full of guitars and amp heads.

[@lukechavez8773]

This might be a dumb question but is it the same for bass? I’ve been considering changing out the pickups on my bass. I normally di my bass so I would assume new pickups would make a noticeable difference in tone.

I have now gone the longest period of my life without playing guitar. I took my guitar apart a while back to repair it and supe it up. But I never ended up finishing. Now I’m not the type of person that likes to talk about my ability, but I will just say playing for almost 30 years made me able to play almost anything I wanted to learn. I rarely found a song I couldn’t learn almost immediately, unless it was highly technical and then maybe a few days. But now that I haven’t played for I think 2 years now, I have completely lost my ability. I still know how to play and what to do. I just cannot do it by muscle memory anymore. It’s the craziest thing. My dad bought a new Taylor and showed me at thanksgiving and I literally froze up while trying to play it, realizing I’ve gone from what people considered extremely talented to basically nothing. I’ve always played and wanted to play so I never really understood till now how much practice actually matters. I’ve ruined my ability! I’ll get it back though.

[@Stefan-]

As someone who has worked in electronics since the 80´s id say that point to point vs PCB is just about how its built and maybe point to point is a bit sturdier, certainly wire connected chassis mounted tube sockets is going to be a lot sturdier than PCB mounted tube sockets where both the heat and mechanical stress from holding the tube as well as changing the tubes can put stress on the solderings. Given the same components and circuit they will of course sound the same

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

Yup. Just a difference in mounting and points of failure

[@larsinthewoods]

It's like a lot of people just refuse to understand that how fun it is for the guitar player to play a big amp through a big cab in a room, what feel and inspiration it gives the player, has absolutely ZERO to do with the recorded tone. What you capture with microphones is hardly even in the same realm as the sound in the room. It's like comparing actors in a theatre to movies. In movies you have effects, you can zoom in on people's faces, focus on details. On the stage they need makeup for us to see their facial expressions at all. Different tools are needed to convey what we wish in different situations. And the microphone capturing a tiny fraction of the cabinet's sound really don't care how much the chugs from your mega tube amp tickles your balls at the other end of the room. And strangely enough it doesn't care about what you paid for the amp either.

[@JayOneAlumni]

If that means a lot to you then you’re paying way too much attention to the wrong things still.

[@stephanemelo]

[@soundman1402]

I'm not an electrical engineer, either, but have done a bit of reading on the subject. My opinion, for what it's worth: The best way to lay out an amp has the shortest electrical distance between components. Long wires, or long circuit traces, are opportunities for noise and hum to get into your signal path. In a guitar amp, a PCB is probably the way to go to keep signal paths short.

[@TheAT5000]

I definitely plan to pick up a copy of element bass, sounds great! And to touch on the PCB vs point to point wiring in an amp; A very experienced amp tech said, "Are hand wired amps better? Depends on the hands." When amps are designed, they will usually be hand weird to be able to easily move wires and components to eliminate unwanted noise.The design is then translated in to a PCB for consistency. Then the board will be troubleshooted for hot spots. (Mosfets burning holes in your PCB makes for a bad day) At the end of the day, point to point is still usually easier to service, but PCB will turn out fewer "end of Friday" amps. Also, with lead free solder being a requirement for newly manufactured amps, you are really going to have to watch for the solder cracking on any load bearing components. (Cracked solder leaving loose tube sockets, etc)

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

Turret board p2p is not that bad for service. The nightmare is the traditional p2p. Try getting a video or picture of an older Vox AC15 or AC30 , and imagine to find or replace one capacitor or resistors.

If you're still not using ELE, get it now! I dabble in metal for fun, but I write darkwave/goth stuff. The drums, especially the roomy preset, are phenomenal. They've replaced almost every drum groove I've written with exception to those that are meant to be electronic or sound like direct samples from a machine. Hell, just use them under your current grooves and samples at the very least and you will hear a very satisfying difference. If you want the kit tracked under separate channels, Glenn has a tutorial for Reaper. I've done it in FL Studio and made a preset for it. It's excellent! Checkout the VST and believe me when I say it has been such an enhancement to the overall flow of my mixes. Oh, Singularity is cool too. And so is Element. Try Element on your drums. It's gnarly!

[@nisterror]

Built a couple guitar in college. For the class they give you a generic list of materials, including inexpensive basic hum-buckers. My original plan was to eventually “upgrade” to “better” pick-ups. But after playing the guitars, the only difference I could hear or feel between my generic pickups vs. my EMG guitars I already owned was the output levels. Later on as I learned about guitar signal chains by channels like yours or Ola’s, once you throw in a boost pedal in the signal, you get the increased output and saturation to obtain crushing and chuggy sounds. I specially like Ola’s approach to pick ups, which he has stuck with even after starting his guitar brand. The approach is to get as neutral as possible pickups with a moderate output. Let the rest of the signal chain take care of the sounds and tones. Thanks for all the work you put in this debunking videos, my wallet truly appreciates it.

“Turn the metronome off” you say. That’s interesting considering a few years ago you said you can’t record metal without a tempo map. Btw, I agree with you about turning off the metronome. The ability to play to one is great but at the same time knowing when to play ahead of or behind the beat is what makes music exciting.

[@bridgestreetdesign]

@bloomtikbloom9593 not exactly - some musicians just rush and drag instinctively but probably don’t realize they’re doing it. I do remember many years ago seeing either billy cobham or Omar hakim (I can’t recall which) on tv saying that when he started playing to a click in the 80s he realized just how much rushing and dragging he had been doing, and refined his ability to do that.

About the Hand wired v PCB question. As long as the layout is electrically sound, there is no audible difference. There’s many different levels of quality in PCB’s. Suhr and Friedman use some of the best in the tube amp business. They also make good design choices too, like keeping high heat components off of and away from the pcb.

[@Matthew19002]

Thank you Ziz! And thank you Glen. I haven't started recording yet but over the time I've been watching you, you've reaffirmed a bit of what I've always said such as your speaker has the biggest impact on your tone. This became obvious when we hooked a cheap generic amp head up to my brother's Marshall 2x8 and guess what it sounded like? A Marshal lol. So that definitely was the start of the pursuit of tone to me. Other things that I noted was the the tone of Mudvayne's guitars and how that fit in a mix which helped because I had an issue with going too wide on response band and notoriously trying to use so much gain the signal noise would scream and clip for a while in my beginner stages. Then the tone of Jinjer opened the door to trying to find that right gain balance. It's funny that it felt like I held off on recording because my comprehension of what I'm going for kept expanding and I feel like it's getting pretty damned close to time to try to go for it. Should had been going for it more often but the only 3 piece recording I made was in 2014 and while the mix sucks and I had an aversion to compression because of ignorant beliefs for sound purity. I did note what I did to record a bass guitar sound without having a bass and kept the tricks in mind for recording and actually a tone filter for an amp head should I build one.

[@bryanstarkweather]

RE: PCB vs Point to Point. I have some experience in this area. The hypothesis is, printed circuit boards use very thin strips of copper printed onto the board to carry the signal. Some theorize that these offer greater resistance than stranded wire, and, running in close proximity, might induce things like eddy currents, and affect capacitance. Possibly? I'm not an expert on circuit design by any means, but it would appear that printed circuit boards offer a much greater level of consistency from amp to the other. However, it's very difficult to modify or repair circuit boards. If a component goes bad in a hand-wired amp, it's pretty easy to replace, and I think that's why a lot of the old school guys who were working on their own amps preferred them. I have had extensive experience with both types of amps. I don't think anybody could tell the difference from listening. As has been pointed out so many times on this channel, most of what people experience is purely psychological. I have recorded many times, using many different amps and amp simulators, and nobody has ever been able to pick out which one is which. I don't do metal, so we're talking about clean and crunch tones here, not hi gain... At least not that often.

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

The other day I recorded the rhythm guitar tracks to a new song I'm recording using a 3/4 size Strat copy. It's got fairly light gauge strings on it, usually, you'd use heavier strings on a small guitar, but the neck isn't too much shorter, so these work. It gave me a great sound, because the strings are at a low tension, it has that downtuned type sound, but in standard tuning. I only used it because I hadn't played the song for years, or practised it, and I just couldn't get it down cleanly enough on my new full sized guitar, which I wanted to use as it has a humbucker in the bridge. Now though, I'm definitely going to record the other two 'metal' songs with it. Going to do an album type thing and work on all three songs together, whatever I settle on for one, I'll use on the other two.

Glenn! Do a Celestion shootout between Greenbacks, Creambacks, Goldbacks, and the high-powered Redbacks. You could do the demo of these in the context of low-powered vs high-powered speakers for metal mixes. Greenbacks are pretty much the classic low-powered speaker and Redbacks are an under-appreciated high-powered speaker. My guess is most of your metal maniac audience has been told by blooze forums to use low-powered Greenbacks but might prefer characteristics of the other speakers so it’s ripe territory for a blind test.

[@bmannned]

Glenn, I put your DI recordings where you said "that's a substantial difference in tone" through a clean amp sim and guess what? There is still a big difference in tone. That was without the original source, I had to download your entire vid and extract the audio separately but still obvious differences.

Hi, generally, I agree with you. But what about that: I have an FGN having passive humbuckers with a very low output, and an ESP with active EMG humbuckers. High output. The amp reacts differently to the high output and delivers more distortion earlier. So I think there is a difference... but maybe this is a special case... if the output is equal, the differences are very small.

I really love what TwoNotes are doing. Great amps pedal with the Revolt, great speaker sim with the Cab m, this sounds juts massive. Plugged a simple Epiphone or a Mexican Strat in it and it sounds like 5000$ amps to me ! And you can record, jam, go to stage with these ! What a beauty

Holy fuck. You dropped the bass plug in in the middle of a mix I was having problems with. And the “fix my bass” setting… it FIXED the bass haha. The original track was all floppy, old strings ( 🙄 bass players ), different dynamics in finger picking, bla bla bla (insert typical bass player nightmare) but now it actually sounds CORRECT! Thanks! 🤘🏼

Hell yeah! Really happy to see this! Happy to hear it fixed your bass :)

I’ve played damn near 500 different guitars at this point and price is just a number I have played $200 guitars I’d rather own than $1000 guitars. I even played a $13,000 guitar and laughed at how much I hated the neck.

Just as you've told us before, pickups don't have the massive tone shifts that we expect before we buy them. That being said, I would like to request a video on fine tuning your "tone". "Tone" being a very subjective term that has a different meaning to us guitarists. I think it would make a lot of the guitarists on here happier to let them hear differences in speakers, pickups, amps and strings all in one video, even if you've kicked the dead horse before. I love your A/B comparisons, keep em' coming glenn!

I don't mean to burst that guys bubble who was talking about the bass plugin but Neural DSP Parallax already separates our the lows, mids, and highs for bass and provides separate distortion circuits for both the high and mid bands. I wouldn't say Glenn's plugin revolutionized anything but besides Saturn and Parallax, I think he is the only other person who has made a similar bass plugin that accomplishes the same objective.

..... Wow. Talk about a butthurt there. :D That guy was really putting all in.

I agree about the metronome. Being I was a studio drummer, at times it’s nice to not be robotic. If your recording tracks with multiple time signatures, then yes a metronome is best. If you’re straight up playing “ball rattling to flubber your butt hole” riffs, drop the metronome and let the head banging control the groove.
