It Took 3 Years But I Finally Have My DREAM Amp

[@jameshughes9706]

Michael Westbrook just added a whole lotta mojo to this band. Keep him around

[@jwhitty14]

YES!!!!

[@cancelbubble6535]

Agree 100%, fantastic addition to the band, you should really talk about bringing him on, adds much more depth to the music.

[@tusharkakshapati7610]

The music just feels MORE when he's in the band. You guys sound so good.

[@weschilton]

Yeah for real. Michael just fills in that special magic. He and Rhett play really well together.

[@erikmerino6429]

Yes!!! Amazing pair.

[@Yoni168]

Man that Whipping Post performance was just perfect. Sweet sounding amp man, good job and congrats on this milestone.

[@RunningWild32]

Your singer has some unbelievable chops. Unique tone and a massive range. The band sounds killer

[@jerrymckenzie1858]

Noah Guthrie. He's an incredible songwriter as well.

[@cheezyridr]

he reminds me of warren haynes a little bit.

[@officialWWM]

Er, Rhett is HIS guitar player, not the other way round.

[@BlindTom61]

@@officialWWM Nope. He's a guitar player's singer. It's the guitar player that counts singers are just a dime a dozen. They're good for driving the bus and carrying equipment other than that, that's about it.. Wink wink and a nod.

[@cruisingthethaiway6881]

He needs vocal lessons.

[@andreweaton5598]

Man it's crazy but I never realized that Michael really is the missing piece to this band. He is the perfect complement to Rhett's playing, especially on pedal steel.

[@RhettShull]

Right? I couldn't agree more.

[@Guitarjosii]

Absolutely love the pedal steel parts

[@jwhitty14]

Agreed 100% !!!!

[@rydj807]

MCW... Keep him!

[@mikewithers299]

Loved your sets Rhett. You guys got a winning team. I hope Michael joins you all. Freaking fenominal😛

[@jaygallamore562]

Congratulations on the signature amp - it sounds great. Michael Westbrook is a real force multiplier for your band, hopefully we’ll see more of him I the future.

[@joebiondo6898]

As much as I enjoy the phenomenal guitar work on this channel, I've got to shout out for Noah's amazing vocals!

[@jerrystephenson1172]

Agree, his just right about of smokiness, w/his range is unique..

[@adriancalejandre]

Brother Rhett, you can hear and feel the confidence in your tone, your sound, and playing. Nothing better than seeing someone feel good in what they do and enjoying it. Congrats on the signature amp!

[@RhettShull]

Thanks Adrian!

[@tyleryoungblood2276]

This is probably one of my favorite backstages yet! That amp sounds killer and the addition of Westbrook was a great choice! He truly is talented and you all jive together so well!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

First off, the amp sounds amazing. Congrats, Rhett. But also, my goodness that version of Whipping Post was so damn good.

[@fixdrummer]

Great video! Congrats on the signature amp, sounds and looks amazing!! One thing that I noticed going through the comments was all the positivity. In a world that seems so broken and messed up some time, seeing all of these positive post really makes me happy! I love it when other musicians give each other props for their hard work and dedication to their craft. Thank you for some amazing content!

[@heckatron2586]

Awesome seeing Michael Westbrook in there!

[@RhettShull]

he's so great.

[@robertfinch6602]

Do you still play w/ Jesse Wilson?

[@weschilton]

@@RhettShull you two play really well together!

[@TheBurdenOfHope]

Rhett dude. Seriously. I’ve always admired your playing - and it is an inspiration to have your videos there when I need that pep to get out a rut. But I gotta say your chops are INSANE. In a live setting your playing just comes alive even more. The tones. The feel. The phrasing. Mind blowing. You should be really proud dude. Also, your cardigan rips!

[@officialWWM]

No one ever said that about a cardigan before!

[@RhettShull]

Thanks so much Justin!

[@tristanbouchonnet1461]

Damn that whipping post version is INSANE !!!!! The shots are crazy, those solos where crazy. Need a recording of that asap !

[@tobywilcox3691]

Having Michael play was like shifting to a higher gear. You guys always sound great, but dang man, even better with his parts he brings!

[@Yannplaysguitar]

Your amp sounds killer (so does your playing) and Michael is indeed a great player. His playing feels very natural and simple, yet impactful. He’s only playing the notes the song needs. Good stuff!

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Rhett!! Incredible man. It was so fun playing the prototype. I can’t wait to try the final version. Planning to grab one early next year on the 2nd batch. So killer! Congrats man. Sounds gorgeous.

[@lkorchnak]

Hearing the band play reminds me how hard it is to 'make it' making music...or any other art. These guys are amazing, playing a benefit festival. Please keep charging hard - the world is a better place having your music in it.

[@ZackSeifMusic]

That amp man…sounds incredible. And the band…man does Michael fill up that little bit extra and really brings Good Trouble to life. This was one of the best live performances and mixes I’ve heard in your videos.

[@augustus_erich]

Incredible. Michael adds so much more rock to the rockin' songs and so much more feel to the quieter songs. Also, songs are really well mixed, unbelievably fun to listen to!

[@lightfallband]

Killer tones. Killer band. Killer performance. Michael is such a great addition.

[@guyfawkes7041]

Glorious tone from that Amp of yours Rhett... and Michael adds that dimension, the Band sound has been missing - inspired decision and choice... Michael is such a great musician, very tasteful licks and complimentary playing to yours Rhett... 20/10

[@Hadiplaysmusic]

Congrats Rhett! You guys are sounding great!

[@dirgmario]

Guys, the band sounds amazing! That Les Paul Through your signature amp was ufff, such a pleasure to the ear! All your tone in general, and Michael, wow, such an incredible player! Congratulations, Rhett! And the band, and the Amp Maker! 10/10 job all of you!

[@desmondmyers]

Super super inspiring video! That ‘Great Blue Wall’ song is a beauty

[@blakejung3876]

I absolutely love these! Huge fan of you guys. The different skills and technicalities that each of you bring compliment each other perfectly! And seeing Michael playing with you guys is awesome! Rhett, you and Michael are like a perfect combo of musicians! Love seeing Michael’s involvement!

[@bryansmith6865]

Dude having a pedal steel on the gig is a game changer, and congrats on that amp. Sounds awesome and that’s a really cool concept come to life

[@OtherTheDave]

Pedal steels are kinda magical the way they can tie everything together. Someday I’ll get around to picking one up (but not today… I’ve got more than enough trouble with the instruments I already have).

[@LNROKR55]

Great playing Rhett. Good to see you on that Les Paul, sounding better each time I hear it. You're learning the magic of keeping it in the middle more and not being too quick to jump on the bridge to cut through. I find the older custom shops to have better PAF's in terms of tone. You gotta good one there! Also the band is really starting to hit a sweet spot eh! Don't let Michael get away if you can help it. With Noah out front you guys have something really special goin on! Keep on rockin !🎸🎸🎸

[@thomassabarly6700]

You all sounded so good, that's amazing !

[@gentlewolf1279]

Haven't even watched yet, but congrats. This is well deserved. Stoked to hear what you create with this.

[@freescooter2]

the pause and the comeback on Whipping Post was done so well. I wish you would all tour the UK at some point. Great sound

[@vincentedgeworks]

Amp sounds amazing! Daniel is a super cool dude and is building me one of the two channel amps right now. This just made me even more pumped to get mine! Your band sounds fantastic!!

[@matthewdean5807]

Congrats ! Amp sounds great man! Killer solo on Whipping Post. I felt the extra stank on that. If I wasn’t a solid state amp guy, I would definitely drool over this amp- it is aesthetically sexy as hell too.

[@BrianSGuitars]

Love the twin guitar attack of your band, and the amp sounds perfect in the mix!

[@thoretornado1671]

Man this amp is a killer! I love the tremolo. Been following your channel for a while now and this piece of gear sounds like the perfect match for this awsome band. I hope to see you guys live by chance when I'm in the US next time.

[@justanail]

@Michael Westbrook adds so much to the sound! That Whipping Post was fire!

[@jlore6344]

Well that amp sounds, and looks great. Glad it worked for you in a live setting. That white Novo guitar is amazing as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@GearGasms]

Great playing and great sounding band!

[@LakePresley]

Westbrook is it. That’s what Good Trouble needed to truly get that bump to the next level. I’ve always thought there was a layer missing sonically and could never really tell what was needed to fill the void. Whether it was keys, or an additional guitar player. The versatility of Westbrook fill that perfect. Hats off to you guys. Hopefully y’all can keep him with y’all. I can also tell as a whole band y’all played a lot better with him there.

[@erikmerino6429]

Michael and Rhett make a perfect pair in the sound of Noah's band, they complement each other very very well.

[@gabrielmatsumoto2628]

I got chills during that “Whipping Post” performance. Holy crappp you guys are insane. Congrats on your amp man, it sounds amazing

[@michael.wiegand]

Rhett in one channel, Michael in the other. Done deal. Absolute bosses.

[@justinbeech2681]

It’s great when you have that Eureka moment w a guitar or an Amp , my very 1st amp when I was 13 yrs old was a 58 Gibson GA 40 , I still have it and it’s by far my favorite amp , I had no idea what I was buying back in 83 but now I feel extremely lucky that I found it. Great video Rhett !

[@Thiagoviana109]

congrats Rhett. it's amazing to see your growth God bless you!!

Tava pensando aqui, você que tem em português conteudos assim nessa qualidade?

[@nickb.237]

What a fantastic video Rhett. Your tone now is insanely good. That tone on You Wreck Me was pure bliss

[@KristofferVad]

Quite possibly the best looking head cab combo I’ve seen. doesn’t sound to bad either ;)

[@reddressamy]

I play a Port City Pearl combo myself and it’s the best amp I’ve ever played. Daniel is an amazing guy. Beyond knowledgeable and helpful across all avenues of amplification. As a North Carolina resident it’s really cool to see an NC company getting the love it deserves. Cheers to Daniel and Rhett!

[@stephencarlson7297]

I love how you alone are keeping the gibson amp vibes goin. Would love to hear your take on the EH-185. But either way, congrats on the super rad amp my dude. The tone on whipping post...*chef's kiss* it's amazing

Having a multi instrumentalist really fills out the sound. Michael is definitely a great addition to the band in these performances. Why wasn’t Phil playing? You guys sounded great, and congrats on the amp!

[@brutalbrutusTV]

"Why wasn’t Phil playing?" Was wondering the same thing... I was like, "There's something not right here" and it wasn't till halfway thru the performance that it hit me.

I mean, he does work on film sets for a day job, right? Probably just had a conflict with a shoot.

[@tomrwills]

In my opinion, almost every band should have a pedal steel player.

[@mikepaulus4766]

I know one pedal steel player. He was trying to get into a band playing guitar and background vocals. They heard he plays pedal steel and he was in without even hearing him play it.

@@mikepaulus4766 Jim Lill has a cool YT channel and he plays guitar but he said almost all of his work comes as a pedal steel player.
