Mike Dawes demos The Black Angel by DiMarzio

[@dopeydawg8954]

the finest guitarist I have ever seen, and I've seen quite a few, Hendrix included. The guy is a magician :)

[@turinreza]

the Black Angel Piezo dp235 has a 3.55 input jack for the Black Angel dp234 magnetic directly attached to the endpin it comes with so you can connect it directly to the sound hole Black Angel pickup. You just have one output but it is TRS stereo. A regular guitar cable will just pick up the piezo pickup but if you split the trs into 2 mono signals you can have both the piezo and magnetic coming out so you can preamp them on a mixer.

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Super interesting. He is very well informed and educated. Much more technical than many of the artists who just use the standard general adjective. Always great to get actual demos (like other artists do), but the technical stuff is very interesting as well. Great vid!

[@vincentsabatino4480]

Mike, Thanks so much for the Demo, I bought a "DiMarzio Black Angel pup" because of your Demo and it brings my Alvarez Acoustic to Life !

[@derekstocker6661]

Only just found Mike and his fantastic playing. So very different and such a wonderfully interesting style and sound, well done Mike, you have shown us something really different.

[@MisterNiles]

Wow. This guy is pretty good. It's nice to see Hedges influence that isn't just hero worship. This guy has something real going on.

[@kxmrock]

Thanks Larry DiMarzio ... always nice to see a vid/Post ... (more please 8>) a DP155 in the Bridge & DP213 in the Neck > Right here~!

[@MJCaf]

Larry, please thank Mike for the tips and all his videos...Always loved his playing..so it is cool to hear him just talk and relate to fans. congrats on both of your successes. Michael Caf/USA.

Whatever you are pursuing I love it.

[@Lanvy]

Mike Dawes + Black Angel = Awesomeness!!! :D

[@wendelllaffin240]

amazing playing... amazing sound quality

[@mytchmacfarlane]

Aww man, this is just lovely

[@Clothahump1]

ROTFLMAO! "Your neighbors will complain and your dog will bark". Pure gold.

[@ianlarrimore8]

Looks and sounds great. The poles appear pre-compensated just where you'd expect (and desire) for a bronze-wound string set. They also look adjustable by use of an allen wrench. Are they in fact adjustable, in case we want to mix gauges, or the gauge we use is odd? (I often use phosphor-bronze 10s on my acoustics.)

[@felixsr.5700]

You're the best Mr. Mike

[@vincentsabatino4480]

Great Sounds Mike !Thanks for sharing !

[@GuillermoSmyser]

"There will be links in the description. I'm sure" Don't assume too much! Haha

[@Sabrinathefishinggirl]

I have been wondering how you guys get that bass. One guy has unbelieveable bass. This sounds pretty good.

Obviously this Black Angel pickup works well with the under saddle and mic's you have in your guitar. Do you know of any information on the WWW or out in cyber space as to how the Black Angel works with other in guitar systems such as Taylor's electronics or McPherson's? Thank for any info you know or can direct me to. Glad to hear you have new records coming. Best of Luck.

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi Michael, I'm not sure, many of the guitar systems are not set up to use a magnetic. Mike has separate outputs so there isn't a problem. You can test it by using the included cable (not wiring it into the guitar) in second channel. Hope that helps, Larry

[@rebuiltbyusn]

@@LarryDiMarzio Thank you so much for getting back to me on this.

[@J-MLindeMusic]

That's some nice playing,goddamn!

[@mug1222]

Question: when installing a pickup, how does one run the pre-amp out the back of the guitar whilst also keeping the strap pins? Do I drill a new hole for the pre-amp, or a new hole for the strap pins? Great video btw. I love ur music

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi, The pickups come with a stereo end pin jack. It works as a strap button, plus a stereo output as well. Hope that helps, Larry d2emr0qhzqfj88.cloudfront.net/s3fs-public/diagrams/Angel_1.pdf

Датчик действительно звучит очень круто, ничего подобного я раньше не встречал.

[@TheMurkGaming]

Hey Larry! I really need your help. Trying to decide what dimarzios I want in my prs single cut with a 25" scale length. I'm going for a hard rock metal type sound but I want the the cleans to be good and I want rhythm to be pretty tight but clear on leads. I'm thinking a tone zone or maybe a paf if they can handle high gain without turning muddy. Any suggestions for bridge and neck combos? I want to stay loyal to you guys :)

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+SandStormer Hi, The PAF 36th Anniversary’s will work well under high gain. They will retain the clarity on the low end where it counts. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@kma5699]

Looks like there are THREE wires coming out of the end of the guitar. So he uses the magnetic Angel, a piezo UST Angel AND an internal mic?

[@marcolively3891]

There's only two coming out of his guitar; one is the angel, and the other is a "1/4 inch stereo jack" which means that the mic and the pizzeo are together on one cable. He's most likely using the K&k Trinity System, and mixing that and the angel in his Bose T1, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't know if the T1 can use 1/4 stereo Jacks. I asked Larry a few minutes ago so I hope he responds.

[@marcolively3891]

However, if he doesn't use a "1/4 inch stereo" then he may very well have three inputs.

[@marcolively3891]

Hello, I would really appreciate your help Larry. I'm really thankful for your involvement in this awesome product! So, I'm just curious how Mike is mixing the K&k Trinity (if that's what he uses for pizzeo and mic) and the Black Angel? I have the trinity installed currently, and just purchased the Black Angel (super stoked.) Currently I only have the K&k Trinity installed and I use the trinity pre amp to mix the two, which I constantly have feedback issues with. I'm wanting to know how I can mix all three? Do I need to purchase the Bose T1, or is there a cheaper alternative that will do the job? Please help.

[@marcolively3891]

+LarryDiMarzio Also, myself and someone else in this post are wondering if Mike has three inputs on his guitar, or is it like I assumed and he has the 1/4 inch stereo jack on one and the Black Angel on the other? Please Help.

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+Marco Lively Yes, three outputs with two cables. When I made this video the stereo (if my memory is correct) cable had the Black Angle magnetic on one channel and a piezo plus internal mic mix on the second channel. The internal piezo and mic are combined and controlled in the guitar becoming one output. The second cable carried an additional (second) piezo that Mike uses to help with percussion. The three individual outputs then go into the effects and a Bose mixer. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@markbascos9789]

Mr larry whats the other one attached beyoud that black pic up? that one looks like steel?

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+Marky Hi, As we mention in the video, Mike uses a mic plus two piezos pickups, so you are probably looking at the sound hole mic. Hope that helps, Larry

[@markbascos9789]

thanks im not familiar with pick ups... now im lookin for it thanks! is your products available in philippines?

[@ManosRK]

Killer player!!

[@joe_brooks_music]

Hey Larry, I have a few ideas fit pickups and updated some older models. I'm a loyal DiMarzio player and fan. Can I get in contact with you? Thanks

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi, Please send your note to [e-mail] and they can pass it along. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

@@LarryDiMarzio Hi I sent a email to [e-mail] I hope to hear from you. Please email at [e-mail] if you didn't get me message. Follow me on IG @joebrooks.fit.music as well. Thank you

[@randyburleson]

What internal mics and piezo is he using in conjunction with the Black Angel?

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi Randy, Mike is currently using a DiMarzio Black Angel magnetic and piezo (replacing the K&K in the video) and a K&K Trinity mic. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@LarryDiMarzio]

@@devonplumley7600 Hi Devon, The Piezo has the stereo output jack already set up to plug in the magnetic. They aren't sold as a set currently but can be purchased at www.dimarzio.com/pickups/acoustic. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@YMESYDT]

Does anyone know how Mike controls the blend between the pickups? I don’t see any knobs or anything

[@ElliotSmart]

Inside of his acoustic sound hole, there are two volume controls (one for the underside and one of the mic) He uses a Bose T1 Mixer on his pedalboard

[@axleblaze123]

What song at 6.10?

Is that an Osthoff guitar? Looks beautiful!

[@rogerbeaumont9918]

how anyone can give a thumbs down to this cat is just astonishing - and ignorant.

[@silenthill5794]

Because there are lazy people online who sit down and hit the autoplay button and let YT show them videos for hours. Once they see one they don't care for they hit the thumbs down to make sure YT doesn't show them more like that particular video. That's the only rational explanation I could come up with, nothing else makes sense.

[@stevevaughan787]

they prob don't care for that style, go figure. STill.. virtuoso can't be denied.

[@quatrecreat1129]

What is the price and where buy.

[@Kashaku3]

Whats your reccomended percussive guitar in the 300 dollar range?

[@marcolively3891]

look into a guitar that has a good percussive wood. Walnuts for the back and sides and cedars for the top are a great combo. There's some videos on KZbin where Lowden himself for Lowden Guitars talks about tone woods and he mention that one of his favorites are Claro walnut and cedar, I myself would agree. Usually you can find a nice Seagull at Guitar Center that has almost no finish on the wood and that would be a great starter. Any kind of coating or layer of Lacour to the woods gives the guitar a more plastic sound, so I personally don't prefer the more finished and glossy guitars as opposed to the natural ones. Guitars all sound different too so you'll need to just play a few and find a tone that you like, but keep in mind that guitars "open up" and the wood "matures" as they age, usually they sound better and better the more they're played. This is me rambling and just some things I looked for in guitars when I researched and started out, I hope this helped! cheers!

[@der_arvid]

Is it my eyes, or is his guitar in a baritone scale? It somehow looks longer than a "regular" one ... or maybe it's just the guitar's shape.

[@LaurensHebberecht]

+Arvid Gutjahr Should be a regular scale.

[@kenpaquia9868]

Great sound, we have already K&K system but I'm thinking to add dimarzio on my guitar. That's steal great with slap technics? 'cause if you check our channel, I slap a lot 😁

Soundhole pickups? what the heck is that?

[@scottbecker3485]

Despite the brilliant tone and playing and informative talk (thanks for all that), this video is not a review or demo of the DiMarzio Black Angel on its own. Instead, the sound is blended from three different sources. This renders the video useless for anyone interested in hearing how the Black Angel sounds. How about a video in which the other two sources are switched off?

[@LarryDiMarzio]
