COFFEE WITH GLENN FRICKER

[@nocheckmarkgames]

Glenn doesn't scream at you. He just talks like there's music playing in the background.

[@Paultreat]

🤣Yes When you talk to Glen it´s allways like a meeting in a concert😂 I only met him once - by coincidense, he wasn´t that famous. He allways has a lot to tell and he has allways the eager to spreat good emotions when he feels right! He is a great guy to have around, and he is a honist person!

[@rdmoonie]

His devotion of giving real advice, that you don't need 6 trillion dollars to record and play quality music is very admirable.

Agreed!! There is a ton of stuff that is tricky in the music business right now and really economy. But you can do some killer stuff with a small budget and some building skills to treat a room.

Love Glenn Fricker,he is so passionate about what he does...and his swearing is so funny ,,just doesnt hold back.

[@TobyKBTY]

After being lucky enough to own some of my dream amps so far (a 5150, a recto, a Rockerverb, an EVH) and using them through the same cab (trusty closed back Orange 2x12) and same overdrives, I've also come to the conclusion many of these amps can sound similar or you can get them to sound the same. Not to say that's a bad thing, they aren't bad sounds by any means. They sound massive and incredible. But when you put them through a mic or IR or have them blasting beside a drummer, those individual differences don't seem to matter in the big picture. With that said, I'm still totally buying a good amp on a good deal when they pop up lmao

[@josephfigueroa3527]

What made me figure this out was the interview with Wayne Static, where he said his rig was just a Marshall MG series head and a 1960 cab. Everything he used was affordable, and Static X sounds great.

I got my first ever legit cabinet recently (Mesa 4x12 w/V30's and C90's) and I'm so excited to have it so I can now venture into buying heads to try out and run through it. I started with the Code 100H half stack then bought a Mesa Stiletto head from a friend of mine. The sound of the Stiletto through the Mesa cab is crazy good compared to the cheaper Marshall cabinet. I will say this though: that code 100H half stack is legit for pretty much any player if you want a one and done setup and not have to worry about having pedals. It's a lot of fun to play through. It's plenty loud, the effects are good, and the tone is good. I've mic'd it through my PA system and it's a great time. But, of course, it's a lot of fun to play through a real deal like a Mesa head and cabinet combo.

[@godisdeaddealwithit]

Picked up Hesu Demons for a 4x12 Cab I'm building not long ago. While working on getting the 4x12 done I put one of the Hesu speakers into a 2x12 I built combined with a Celestion Creamback Neo to test them out. Using a Peavey 6505+ 112 (I converted to a head) through the 2x12 all I can say is I am very much in love with the Hesu Demon speakers. They are amazing with the Creamback Neo's and by themselves. Can't wait to get my 4x12 finished and have them cranked. Thanks Glen and Ola for always giving us a leg up in finding our sound.

Good to hear about the amp not holding you back. My son plays my older Marshall Mg50DFX and he couldn't get a more perfect MCR sound if he tried. Has it setup beautifully which makes him play more.

[@thirteenthandy]

That Stevie T comment has my jaw on the floor. I can't believe he doesn't have amps!

[@EveReznor]

I think Steve has 2 small amps, which one of it is NUX lite and that's it. He does everything via Scarlett and amp sims. Tbh a lot more comfortable imo. Myself I have one small amp and I don't even use it that much, I play guitar via audio interface and DAW and so far it's enough. Glenn is really cool tho for telling truth about the gear and always being honest about that that high price not always means best :D

[@greekfreak1980]

Nita Strauss even doesn't use a proper amp anymore when she's touring with Alice Cooper, she just plugs her multi-effects unit into the venue's P.A. system and gets the job done.

[@thirteenthandy]

@@greekfreak1980 That's very common these days. Kiko was using a Quad Cortex on his last Megadeth tour, for example. That doesn't mean Nita (or Kiko for that matter) doesn't own an amp or have experience playing through one. I was shocked that Stevie T doesn't even have one.

[@denniskielton2447]

EDIT: 2006-2009 or so is what I call the "hardcore heyday." there were like 7-8 venues in my area doing shows every weekend, I saw both Animals as Leaders, Bring me The Horizon, & The Devil Wears Prada at local venues, both before they got huge, along with a ton of others that were already huge touring bands, it was insane. Now- That 'don't assume your amp is holding you back" is assuming a LOT haha. How about the kids going through tiny spiders and fender modeling amps meant for beginners, could you make a pro record with those? P.s. this is why I tell all my students to either get a modeling pedalboard like a pod go or something that's the same price as those "cheap" amps, they just need a speaker to put them through. And if they already own a computer (which is only 3 out of 23 current students) I tell them to get an interface and free amp sims liek the ones Glenn recommends. But a LOT of kids are stuck in that rut because their parents were sold on some cheap fender practice amp that has a bad clean tone and minimal, VERY harsh sounding overdrive that you can only control by pushing a little white button. I have several students using these (or for bass, fender rumbles, which sound like 50's amps because they essentially are) just because that's what their parents got them. I'd say for a lot of them, the advanced ones and fast learners, that their amps are for SURE holding them back lol. just a bit of my real world experience being a full time guitar teacher, for the last 15 years.

[@josephfigueroa3527]

I don't know. I couldn't really afford an amp for my first 3 years, and that didn't hold me back at all. Then again, that advice was probably meant for the guys that can afford gear and use it as an excuse.

[@Mike__S]

That was a cool interview. I like your work and I like Glenn's work. I may not always agree with some of his views, but you can not avoid his directness and leaning hard on the facts. And those facts will save you money. Also, a nice touch syncing up on his claps for the video editing
