Something about an attic that has such a cosy vibe! 😍 Lovely room Browne!!!

[@CurtisGabrielMusic]

They look cosy! Unfortunately they tend to be freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer 😂 This setup looks amazing though! You can see a lot of graft has gone in to it.

[@daleweber2579]

It is man, I live in a 4bedroom home with a finished attic same style ceiling beams but higher arches perfect acoustic it's the fifth room but it will be converted into a studio.

[@officialWWM]

Until you carry that Mesa cab up and down the stairs...

[@TheHazoist]

"I hope you all have a similar room." Yeah.. Sure

[@treyxaviermusic]

What a spot! Super jelly dude, I want my spot to have such immense vibes

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Gear Gods thanks mate!

[@vermilgates]

One beer fridge away from the perfect mancave

[@jmar482]

I love how you point out, rightfully so, how under rated Hughes and Kettner amps are. I’ve been playing them for over 20 years now. I started playing them because Alex Lifeson was using them (as you pointed out). I really love how they cover a lot of different ground. Want a great clean no problem, want to get some break up, easy. You can really push the 4 channel amps with the ultra channel and some boost. Great for screaming metal.

[@Bobendingo]

I think we'd all love a writing master class from you, at the moment the only one out there is from a clinic you did!

[@leonardorechsteiner5429]

And you have him at riffhard.com

[@ordinarypablo]

Yes!!!

[@kramersurfer5280]

Thats not a spare room,its a fekin Batcave for guitarists......bloody awesome.

[@SinsAscendant]

We all know KZbin isn't always a good return of investment when it comes to time spent. But I'm so glad you're still making content on here as well as Riff Hard! Keep at it man! 🤘

[@taterfight]

This room is very similar to Rabea's. I love the way both of them are laid out with the windows on the ceiling. Cool video man!

[@opthCR]

So much eyecandy! And its all so neatly organized.

[@tarkenton3895]

Really loving the aesthetic. Used to have an attic bedroom that I also used for a basic studio setup. Only problem was the wooden beams in the ceiling were total murder if I bashed my head into them by accident lol

[@uzibagasino2889]

so many gears yet so neatly arranged and nicely clean too. well I guess that defines part of your personality (which is good). I like the way you reply to the comments and inquiries, so modest and unselfish. and lastly loved that black skull above Amari. hahaha. stay safe man.

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

uzi bagasino that’s my pick holder!

[@uzibagasino2889]

@@JohnBrownemonumentshahaha. and I was about to say nice amps and guitars (just kidding). ive been trying to watch every posts you've made especially the tutorials and its very helpful for me on trying to progress myself in guitar playing. hoping to see and hear more from you. thanks.

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

This is the dream!

[@francisgarde]

Yes! Have the MSP5s as well and I agree, they have a bigger mid-range range(?) than the NS10s.

[@denisorourke4444]

He said all the right bands when talking about the LaBoga. *SOLD.*

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

After winter, I’m planning on going house shopping again to look for a place that would have a spare bedroom I could turn into a music studio. That is a really cool setup you have!

[@James-lk3wr]

Man I don't even know what half this shit is but I love watching these videos.

[@tedats]

realising how much I watch this when im just like wow I know all this kit inside out somehow 😂

[@Kullvir]

That Driftwood! Such a nice head! 2 dislikes are jealous of your stuff lol

[@jonathankessler4684]

Honestly man your studio is what I want to have someday. Love the videos!

[@wheresallthezombies]

I’m pretty excited for the Dirty Shirley module video (if you do one). It probably won’t be great for what you do but it’ll be interesting to hear you play through it. What’s your vocal chain usually?

[@Maxischupp93]

i know its been done over and over on youtube, but could you maybe run one bouncy riff through all your amps to compare them, and then one riff for each amps best application ? that would be cool as hell :)

[@ordinarypablo]

To be honest this is by far the most complete studio on the youtube guitar/metal scene/community. It’s even cooler than misha studio! Is unbelievable the amount of high quality gear that you have

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Thanks Pablo!

[@lalainaichane319]

I bet you had fun moving everything upstairs, especially that Mesa cab 😅

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

The mesa cab was a walk in the park in comparison to the fucking sofa bed.

[@Plastidon]

John where is Chimpspanner /paul Ortiz , he vanished, would love to see you both collaborate.hope both of you are well .

[@Plastidon]

The chimpsan man seems to be teaching , and making music with Daniel Tompkins , singer in tesseract .

[@diecast4556]

so cozy

[@Iheartdgd]

You are the man John, hope all is well

[@JCMJustin]

Sick setup man, love the vibe of the whole room! It's great, thanks for sharing it with us!

[@michaellichtenstein9258]

Also, Josh Rand of Stone Sour uses Hughes & Kettner!

[@drifter61]

Oh my god someone who loves Ion Dissonance the way I do. They are a fuckin huge part of the way I play guitar man.

[@LucaLazzari]

Gear overload right there, that's amazing! That room really looks like a dream land

[@alexbrodie2207]

Dang, really wish this guy had some more fantastic aggressive amplifiers

[@fpjesus2000]

Alex Brodie i know right, he should really step it up in that particular department

[@slavesforging5361]

Wow! that is one killer metal setup. didn't know about the Ampete 88s- that helped so much. thanks for showing it! (thought i was going to have to build my own version). really nice usage of a great small space. killer amp selection, obviously.

[@mattermolecules6767]

Killer room!

[@jeremyschiesser7086]

Holy fuck, his riff around 7 minutes in... 🤤

[@Samyole]

Cozy! So much gearrrr! Much love dude,keep up the badassery!

[@TobyHack-thguitarist]

Damn, this looks sick. I can’t wait to hear the new ear joy from this studio in the near future. Good on ya man. Keep it up.

[@vjulianv]

Dude! I'm so stock with Hughes&kettner brand. And Mayones... My fav guitars! Cheez, you're so blessed John! Salute from Mexico.

[@soloridertv]

Thanks for the tour! Awesome space.

[@EamonBJWyse]

Awesome. Loving that video setup. Crazy.

[@mostlyirishcarguy8955]

Love the frequent uploads lately

[@denisorourke4444]

*QUESTION:* John, I want to put my Boss TAE in the rack like you've done, but am afraid of making the rear inputs/outputs/controls less accessible. What's your solution for this?

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

D O ah I just have it output to the cab with one output via XLR. The ampete switcher means I don’t have to go back there at all!

[@sm4739]

I love studio walkthrough

[@fpjesus2000]

I would mass buy canned food and stay in that room for like an entire year. Self isolation done right

[@ahriik]

Do you still use the POD XT for anything? Demos maybe? I find that some the amp models still sound pretty decent, they have a certain tonal quality to them that's surprisingly difficult to get on a lot of real amps. Idk, its hard to describe, maybe you know what I mean. And what was the extent of it's use on the 2nd Monuments album? I'm curious!

[@Jordan-ht6oo]

Love your work man, and great to see your tools

[@rgurton1]

Sorry if anyone has asked this earlier. What kind of spec computer are you running John? Also do you run the streaming software on your computer at the same time as running cubase etc

[@bhbuzzco7719]

Dude that would be like walking in heaven! Nice very nice! Hard work pays off and your killing it 🤘

[@sujankarki7051]

Nice tour! Keep the kool riffs coming on so that I can learn 🤘🤘

[@firststep7750]

The nicest home studio I have yet seen! I love it that it's in the attic. You probably hate this question: if you had chose ONE rig/amp.....which would it be?

[@kostasseth9150]

That’s really wonderful home studio man! I’d like to see a video for the laboga.. I really love that amp!

[@marcelojulio]

This was the first time in my life that I saw a playground where you work seriously ...

[@fatsuperfly]

One day i hope my lil makeshift home studio could just look and have half of this!!! Theirs is awesome!!! Kinda intimidating to get digital and non digital to work together.

[@HaydenMcCarry]

Amazing man! Cant imagine how much all that cost!

[@user-xu1py2xo8p]

Omg how this studio cost)...Its 1m dolars)?

[@jnivanyi]

Beautiful studio space dude.

[@adamburger858]

One of the sweetest rooms I've ever seen- I'm getting inspired, just lookin' at it..heh -Stay cool du-

[@NEVERGAZER]

One wishes they could afford all that gear...

[@seanstaunton2919]

Big fan of Hughes & Kettner. Stupidly sold my Trilogy head a few years back and regretted it ever since.

[@IStabz]

can't pronounce that word right now..but they sound really fucking good!! ha ha!! yea they do!! Love your playin' my friend! \,,,/.

[@GravesoftheInnocent]

What a setup man! Gosh damn! 🤘

[@gospelpopmusic]

Thanks for your video! What studio desk do you have. I may purchase the same desk. You've got a link?

[@JackRosei]

What is the first song in the background? Thnx

[@michaelperez5273]

You should do a video on your antelope audio gear because i hear nothing but bad stuff about there products and I'm afraid to invest my money into it

[@joshcrotts8056]

Jeff Waters uses Hughes and Kettner too! AAAAAAAAND so do I lol

[@shinji1264]

Sooo much gear

[@KristianHeartmusic]

Do a full guitar tour please

[@VadikRamm]

Ibanez M8M, TRIAMP MARK 3, Mesa 4x12 cabs. DJENT!

u done killd the game

[@LukeBass1000]

Yes, it is a cool studio and no I do not have something similar 😂😂😂 Top class dude, well deserved.

[@uzibagasino2889]

@John Browne hey man its been over a week now. waiting for your new upload. keep safe.

[@toemasmeems]

I love guitar, metal, and Overwatch and had no idea you guys had music on something they put out! I’d love more information on that

[@andresludmer]

one question. do you have everything on all the time? or you turned everything on just for the video?? just wondering. if everything is on all the time... your power bill must be scary.

[@savoirfaire8979]

*I had no idea Rabea Massad also had an attic studio.*

[@GetFightedMikey]

I would love to know what you do with your Pod XT Pro! Your studio is amazing!

[@dang2630]

Hey thicko newbie to home recording here.... My question is can all the amps be connected and used at same time?

[@djentransitions]

Im so jealous 😍

[@powersv2]

Korn (lol) used Hughes and Kettner. Thanks for making not feel bad about my PodXT Live 😂.

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

powersv2 I always thought they were always Mesa boogie

[@powersv2]

@@JohnBrownemonuments I remember the 1996 adverts for James Munky Shaffer running H and K. That being said they also had Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers as backup and would bounce between them in studios from all the stuff I read during the 90s.

[@tylerdodson3586]

hey um john what tuning did you use for the schecter demo you did yesterday at 6:51......???

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

?It's all in variations of DADGAD

[@theblackpacomurder]

If I had all that gear in my house the Main bedroom would be my studio and I would sleep in the attic

[@andrewsmall4865]

I don't know what any of that shit means after you get past the amps. Why have a preamp in a rack if the amps all have preamps themselves?

[@pornos1985]

Do you use any drum vst? If yes, which one is it?

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Superior

[@jonmagnus3510]

I had asked if you had a studio tour video, and you let me know it was coming the following day. Here I am a week later and I’ve watched more than 5 times now just to comprehend everything. Did you go to any mixing or audio type school?

[@BURGRKNG]

John, Marty Friedman was using HnK for ages you should have mentioned him , next time you talk about it talk about the master fredman 😂 he's definitely the perfect player for their gear because it's so god damn responsive and adaptable

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

BURGRKNG has no idea he used it actually!

[@mlewmisc]

Rabea Massaad's got a similar attic-studio!

[@progpapi7241]

This is so sick

Looks pretty cramped, can you stand in there.. nice amp collecton

[@saifseven]

Where’s the zoom pedal into the hitachi tv setup man? Seriously though, killer studio!!

[@hYpYz]

25:01 hahahahahahaha :D what are all those preamps used for in recording (im not a recording guy just curious)? Is every on of them for different purpose or were these upgrades from the predecessor and you are using only newest one ? I found out about Hughes & Kettner when reading up on niche band Spiral Architect...your sound live when you were in Leeds was the best ad for the brand. Awesome space, best of everything to you and yours have a good one mate :)

[@falseprophecy666]

Each has a unique tonal character which can be used musically when recording.

[@leom6117]

sick background music \m/
