Thank goodness that this was not a video about the Generator 120 10th Anniversary edition. There is no way we could sit through more of those killer tones, and amazing features you described ;). Others here have already said it, but you should put out an album with your tracks, that intro F$*king ripped. Thanks Bahd!

Thanks SO much for being a good sport about the title! The video is about riding the inspiration that a great piece of gear can provide. The video was originally going to be 30 seconds of a tune, then I kept finding new tones that inspired new parts, and kept adding on, then ended up with a 3min tune, and was like, "Well, I guess a video IS happening!"

I know this is mostly a tone chasing channel and I love that, but Michael needs more props for his actual playing. Chops and versatility, in both rhythm and lead playing, are outstanding. He's a super player on it's own.

Unfortunately, now, in 00's guitar-based music is not so popular, so it's wery hard to became famous just using talents. To became famous guitarist you also need very powerfull advertising... It's so sad... @@SolarWarden88

It’s so nice to see a person who plays perfectly and also knows how to use equipment, it’s something like a utopia... It saddens me to think that few people know about you, and those who know you are mostly avid guitarists. However, this is not so bad, because if you were famous, you would not have time to create such good videos, I think. You know all this stuff: national tours, interviews and stuff like that. In any case, thank you for the wonderful material, glad to see you in good health!

Ok. We've had a difference of opinions before. But this time we're on the same page. I've got serial number 00014. It took me a long time to save up for a new amp.... long time. I was ready to buy the regular Generator 120, but I had a delightful talk with Derek, and I bought the 10th Anniversary instead. I'm really pleased. I fully believe it will be my last amp (pushing 60), and my money is going to purchase EL34 & 12AX7 tubes, before they stop making them. Great video....

YO! I had just recorded something like five 100w amp demos in a row, and thought, I can't do another one. So I was trying to make this a not amp video, which I failed miserably, and ended up just making an amp video that is weird. Revv Generator 120 MKIII - 10th-anniversary Edition was everything in the video. it's pretty dope. Have you tried that one? It's my first time trying REVV stuff. I know I've seen them on your channel and Robert Baker's and they've always sounded cool. They have a distinct personality to my ear. Pretttttty. pretttaaaaay good.

Dude- Awesome video, Michael! Epic intro song reminded of Alter Bridge, which always a good thing. The “gate business” is always a good investment, IMO. Halo rules, is it in the effects loop? Or, after the speaker 🔈?? I’ve been experimenting with doing that lately to get a “stereo out” into my interface. Cheers!

It was in front. All of the FX were in line going into the input of the amp. It's just how my pedalboard was set up at the moment. The more stereo FX were added in the DAW when mixing.

Hi Michael, excellent intro song once again! Pleeeeease, set up a gofund me or something of that nature for preorder for an actual CD or album release of your material. All of these demo songs you are putting out to review gear are easily an album's worth of great content! Not just noodling around, "look at how good I am" guitar instrumentals like 95% of what's out there, but real deal superb songs! I think your disc would EASILY fit right next to Surfing with the Alien, Blow BY Blow, Passion & Warfare, Ah Via Musicom, EE Ticket, etc. you know the level of musicianship here. Please... you have 40k+ subscribers, I would be willing to bet, 10% of them at least would buy an actual CD. Thanks again for the great MUSICAL song! (and the review too.) :)
