My Favorite Gear I Reviewed

[@PhillipMcKnight]

I made a couple lists and then worked it down. Here are the 10 from the top 20 Holyboard Somnium Squier Plek'd Affinity Pedal pal Mesa Boogie Mark Five 25 Fender 68 Princeton Danelectro 59 Nos Gibson Les Paul Lite Charvel DK24 G&L ASAT

[@a7xmabe]

Make all the videos!!!!!!!!!

[@drivenmad7676]

You said little about the SG,

[@learningftw8173]

Nice i just bought that charvel,my first higher end eletric, i had a 180 euro strat,the charvel seems pretty amazing trough the boss katana 50, just having some feedback issues with high gain

[@mars6433]

@1:08 Phil, set the knobs to your liking, then, remove them and reinstall them so all the lines point to 12 O'clock. That way, when you glance at your pedals, as long as they all point to 12 O'clock, you know they haven't been moved. You're welcome.

[@MarkBatchelder]

I'm surprised that your orange strat is not on the lists. Yes, please do the regrets video! Thanks for what you do!

[@calbrockocat8728]

Definitely do the Gear Regret video. It's all interesting and in good fun.

[@michaeleaster1815]

11:37 Count me with those who enjoyed this video and would be interested in "Top 10 Get-Rid-of/Regrets" video

[@ryban1001]

I love that you inform us players about all things guitar and not just showing and shoving the flashy axes down our throats! Love your work, Phil!

[@Mordec2019]

Phil, i have never seen you play bass before and you tear it up. i love it.

[@nickagervasi]

I always wonder about gear that people regret getting rid of. I can only think of 1 or 2 pieces in my time... But I would love to hear yours.

[@davismiller3769]

2:15 WOW WOW That bass sounds amazing and that's some incredible playing.

[@timothybarham9250]

T's all about the bass.

[@FuzzImp]

Buddy, we need you to shred bass on every video plz. That was sick as heck man

[@GuitarJeff]

I have one of those zither stands, with the KYG logo on it. Came with a guitar I bought from Phil. It is just as stable as Phil says. Sits in my living room. I have big dogs that wrestle and play they bump it now and then. It has never fallen over.

[@ryanwiseman9141]

More bass playin’ and more top tens!! Great work as always, keep it up!!

[@darrellm3410]

Definitely want to see that "sorry, I ever let it go" video

[@michaelm2336]

+1 to a "Gear I Regret Not Keeping', maybe a "Gear I Hope to Get One Day" video? might be interesting to hear what someone who goes through tons of gear aspires to own some day... thanks, and keep up the great work!

[@CalliGom]

That seafoam green telecaster with matching headstock...I've always wanted one of those!

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Just wanted to say that your content has progressively increased in it's professionalism. It went from a channel that I clicked on every now and then to one that I find myself watching more and more. Little things like the 'independent review' or 'product provided' in the bottom left are what makes that little bit of difference. Also, your playing and tone has become very enjoyable to listen to. Great work!

[@tinkerbell4896]

Word up! Great vid, it's cool to see what you ended up really liking, especially since you get to see and try a lot of gear I might not normally get to have hands on. Of course I'd love to see what you regret letting go, and Rock On Brother!!! 🧚🏻‍♂️

[@tinkerbell4896]

@@Codzilla71 Haha!! That would be a blast!! I would have so much fun doing that!! Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂️

[@Russell_Optics]

I would enjoy a video on items you wish you never let go of. Your methods and honesty in your reviews is really refreshing and carry a lot of weight when I'm making a decision on a piece of gear. Keep it up kind sir !

[@gtr1952]

Great review Phil, and as always, thanks for your honesty!! 8) The "selling regrets" can be a long hard list for anyone who has been around guitars for 50ish years!! Some stories really hurt!! 8) JMHO --gary

[@benjaminbarnett3696]

I have to agree that in all the years i have watched your channel (6 now) that Fireball video was the most instantly persuasive to me wanting a piece of gear. You really highlighted It’s swiss-army type functionality and excellent sonic range.

[@MichaelBenninger]

You have taught Me so much thank you. I am 72 and with your help I get it. Thank you

[@MBvolcom92]

i bought the Engl Fireball 25 because of your review. Had it for about two months now and i absolutely love it!

[@bbfreddiealbertking]

Great Video Phillip! I also own a Kiesel Theos and it is a fantastic guitar! I highly recommend it! Keep up the great work!

[@tonyb4326]

Loved this video Phil, I watch all of your videos and try to catch all the live streams, a flip side to this one would be great.

[@ZitherWizard]

Thank you for mentioning our stands.

[@jralanmorgan]

That looks like a really cool design. I would love to check one out some time. Thanks.

[@RogerThat902]

Nice video, Phil. I'd also like to see a video on the Piece of Gear That Was Not Quite There But You're Intrigued By And Will Be Watching. I'm thinking something like the Tonemaster. Your video seemed like you were overall meh on buying it right now but definitely saw the potential for it to be something you'd want. I'd love to know if there are things like that you've come across. The Spark might even be there for me. I'm glad I have one but if I were to advise someone else I'd say wait for the 2nd edition where they maybe will put a looper in there (the thing I think it misses to make it the perfect practice amp)

[@3kil0w4tt]

Yeah, do the regret video....but just keep doing everything you do. I've been watching you for years now and it just keeps getting better!!!

[@LoneWolf-ni1zj]

Tele's never did it for me and I ignored them during my over 50 years of playing. That being said... I now own 5 different Tele's including one with P90's. Go Figure lol

[@danserdutz6700]

Ive played for over 50 years and finally picked up a tele about 5 years ago. Just never appealed to me. Now I have two and play em most of the time. Great instrument.

[@mikecorey8370]

@@danserdutz6700 Ditto. 50 years of playing and finally bought one 6 years ago. The Strat and Les Paul kind of just sit around now. The Tele and my PRS get 90% of the playing, split pretty much even. I can get good Strat tones spltting the coils on the PRS.

[@roblarson9065]

@@mikecorey8370 Very thin strat tones from coil splitting.

[@mpactdesignmedia]

WOW! on LAG. So cool to see! I walked into a GC earlier this year just as a quick duck in to see if anything electric caught my eye. It didn't. So, a quick check of the acoustic room just for fun (not needing an acoustic). I saw an Alvarez, played it, was impressed with it...then I saw a LAG hanging next to it, took it off the wall - strummed it and almost laughed out loud, wound up walking out with that acoustic...which I didn't need. LAG guitars are PHENOMENAL. Fantastic quality, playability and sound for the $$. HIGHLY recommend

[@richardpelland661]

Thanks for all your reviews. I've learned a lot about gear and all your fix videos are great too.

[@johnmoser2689]

It's always interesting to watch Know Your Gear

[@aaronwebb1548]

I'd love to see the regret video; some of us would greatly benefit from knowing what you miss and why, I'm sure.

[@jumpsteady1777]

Would love a kiesel guitar someday. I have a thing for wanting a solid sub name brand guitar. Diamond, kiesel, legator...love some of the stuff I see them put out without seeing them everywhere I turn.

[@rider132]

Don’t believe I’ve seen you play bass on your channel. Great job. Really enjoy your channel and count me in on the regret list.

[@thejeffersonlee]

Whoa, Phil! You may have missed your calling as a bass player! Great chops!

[@kernjames]

Yes, I would love to see the regret video. We all have those regret lists. I wish I still had my old Silvertone Bass and Amp from the 1960s. The Amp wasn't very good but the Bass was a Danelectro Bass made for Sears' Silvertone line of musical stuff. The Bass was small scale but mighty. I also regretfully, sold my speaker cabinet that was for my 1960s Band master Amp. I still have the Amp, thank goodness. I had an echo-plex stolen from me, and I wished I had it back. I had a 1970s Ventura 335 copy, that I regret selling. It would have been fun to put some really nice pickups into it and see how that went. And I miss my old Kay acoustic that had a beautiful sound to it. It too was from the 1960s. Lastly, I regret a losing a couple of mic stands that were Radio Shack mic stands from the 1970s. They had shiny covers over the base of the stands. Nobody else sold Mic Stands that looked like that.

[@Barflew1]

Always enjoy your reviews...Definitely do a (Gear I wish I hadn't sold video).I think over the years we're all sorry for some of the gear we've let go of..Miss my Parker Fly-everytime I see yours hanging on the wall..

[@pd-kx4qw]

That nomad F1 oil is fantastic. It’s like night and day difference after you use it.

[@offdutyjie]

Do that video Phill! Like to see more of these from my favorite KZbinrs!! Also, I really thought I'd see your Orange Telecaster with Swappable Pickups here lol!! That one seems like your main go to to shoot out pickups and pickup configurations lol!! You seem to use that one a ton too

[@backlom]

Yes please on the next top ten!! Even gear you didn’t like the most.

[@emilong]

Oh man the Engl + PRS hollowbody at 10:49 is amazing

[@bobk3622]

More more more . . . yes! Absolutely. Great list. Totally respect your opinions.

[@MercilessGuitar151]

Nice video. I had Sweetwater pleck a guitar for me at the beginning of the summer. A new indoor toy to keep me busy during the Arizona summer, lol. A regrets video would be interesting also.

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

Yeah, Phil, we wanna know your deepest, darkest regrets. Do it.

[@wildersparks9161]

Probably something to do with selling a Strat.

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Yeah? There's a Strat I still regret selling off when I was a teenager. Hindsight is 20/20

[@caboosethemoose2070]

Love this video! Very informative and entertaining and with so many things you talked about it didn’t get boring at all. More like this! Thank you

[@eddiejr540]

Since I have no regrets... I would love to see yours Phil !!!!!

[@timothypotter2137]

Please do the regrets video, I have regrets too. The biggest were with motorcycles, specifically my '83 Yamaha Virago 750 Midnight Special. What I wouldn't give to have that gem back. My '03 Guzzi V11 Le Mans Rosso Corsa is also a heartbreaker. I haven't been into guitars long enough to have many regrets, so show me a few to avoid. Love your channel, I've learned so much from you.

[@iantaylor1524]

I’m loving the peavey EVH Wolfgang on the wall Phil

[@electroKrunch]

Great vid, Phil, thanks! Yeah, the top 10 gear you exited would be cool!

[@enricofugazzi5206]

Really looking forward to the video when you install the hivibe into one of your acoustic.. I would like to do the same

[@ericmojave6061]

Dude! I had no idea you ripped like that on bass. Great playing!

[@deeman1]

Wuh, I was astonished to have the ENGL on top of the list. I play sometimes an old ENGL Straight 100 Watts from about 1985. The 100 Watts is simply overpowered these days, but I remember, when I was trying something else, only the ENGL asserts himself in all demands in a band, no matter if hard or hearty or clean or juicy to the point of vomiting, the Engl can always be heard. How it is done, that he knows how to defy all other instruments in the sound, no idea. Nothing muddy there, and the sound is extreme variable. In the eighties they had an equalizer on them that could be programmed and set the controller to the stored state itself by means of a motor. When it comes to inventive inventions, always ask the Germans ...

[@markyurick6699]

I like Music Nomad stuff pretty much, but the best guitar polish was Roadie in a Bottle, which isn't made anymore. Smelled like a Pina Colada, and did a great job. Loved that stuff.

[@Ratchman_5000]

Love the look of that seafoam green tele. Have a squier strat same color.

[@williambratton2010]

That Rock Rabbit Tele Switch was a game changer for me. Swapped all my teles to them.

I think the last time I saw a bar of Irish Spring was thirty years ago in my grandparents’ bathroom

I live in Australia. I know Irish Cream, Irish Moss, Irish Coffee........Is it soap?

@@timothybarham9250 Yep

My wife read that if you put Irish Spring by your trash cans, it will keep flys away. It didn't.

[@rosshorne4769]

It’s easy to forget watching your videos how good a player you are

[@colinmcguigan4630]

Definitely looking forward to the sequel. Thankfully, I haven't had any regrets on giving things up,yet.

[@hellodrjeckyl]

Cool video. I'll always have a soft spot for the SG since I learned to rock on an epiphone sg. Iommi and Young are two of my favorite guitarists. I eventually sold the epi, but now I have a Gibson SG Jr in my line up. I do plan on one day getting another SG with two humbuckers, like the 61 standard.

[@Wob-O]

I wouldn't have thought of F1 but that stuff is incredible. It makes Pau Ferro look great.

[@cathybaker262]

Great video. Would love to see a video on your regrets. Thank you!

[@MisterRorschach90]

Would you consider doing a video about plek again? But this time show different instruments other than guitar being pleked and whether it would be worth it or not. Stuff like banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, bass, etc.

[@Boogieplex]

That Engl fireball sounded REALLY good!

[@Gearjunkie35JasonBallou]

Phil your bass playing is just killer. Those slap runs...nice. #LPD Eighty7 for the win. Just..'Dammit' tone. As in Dammit that sounds good!.

Excited to try out an Engl Ironball 20 soon.

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Engle fireball is on the top of my must have wishlist!

Both Engl and Hughes & Kettner make amps that I find sound really, really good. I think if I had the Fireball, an Ox box, and some good monitors, I'd be a happy boy.

[@overvieweffect9034]

i'd watch that video, but then again, I pretty much watch all your vids!

[@tjallingdejong9645]

Nice list , I own the Engl Ironball 20 Head I play the cean channel mainly but lovin' it , sound a bit like the fireball

The regret video would be a good one. We all have regrets for letting go of something. Usually more than one. My 95 Strat. My 96 Black Les Paul Standard. This might get some laughs, but my Behringer V-Amp 2. A Pod clone but it had a great clean tone. And a few more I regret.

[@ajnivan]
