FUN video !! thanks so much for doing it

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks Tim - I'm a big fan of yours!!!

@@TheGuitarShow I just wanted to Thank You for the indepth video you did back in 2018, on the "Lead Codices". I've watch it a couple of times. I find 8t noteworthy that our Western News Media has moved so far from Journalism, since it is fully owned by the 1% of the 1%, and I've yet to find a real "Journalist Interview", and None that offers a true "Journalist Investigative and Indepth Interview". I left comments on the other, hope David and Jennifer are both well, and you too. Best Thoughts, Beth Tennessee, USA Sociologist and Historian, (who happens to also have a degree in Journalism.) PS: I went to university in Memphis, TN, and have been to the Guitar Store where the Stones had several of their Guitars made, on Union Avenue. I also knew Carl Perkins socially, he played a song for me in his home studio, which was also his Pool House, the Pool was indoor and outdoor. The man was so genuine, an Authentic Individual. He held a Charity Concert in Jackson, TN for Children. That year Charlie Daniels headlined. I have had a blessed life with regards to music and really talented musicians and vocal artists. I'm sorta fond of the "Mary Kay Strat" 1958. I miss fresh live Music, I need to plan a trip and enjoy some real Blues or maybe further for some Gypsy Jazz. I always loved BB and Bobby Blue Bland, JJ Cale, and his works with Leon Russel, and Clapton. (There a really good video clip on KZbin, of JJ with his wife, and Eric, at a Crossroads.) *"After Midnight" and "Call Me the Breeze".* Check it out, you'll really enjoy it. Miss JJ Cale.

Cool rig Ramon. Very interesting. Really like some aspects, especially the many tubes in the line. Beautiful how you personalised your tone.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks Will, yeah this was definitely a journey

[@alguitarchristie]

Nice and fat tone Ramon! Cool, and great playing too :)

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks indeed

@@TheGuitarShow you're welcome :)

[@jonnybeck6723]

That ginormous knob on the top is very cool... ...and on the EF86-EL84 (EZ81?) ...that's gotta be the best of the VOX mindset Is there a demo of the EF86 (V-1 pentode has gotta be cool) (?) Gotta go but I'll see the rest of this later ...Cheerios

[@TheGuitarShow]

yes at the end can hear both amps going through the goosemaster

[@limpindug]

There's been an awful lot of research and thought gone into these rigs bud and no doubt tears. Thanks for your time and sharing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate. PS Bob could roadie for you. 😂😂😂😋

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks indeed 🙏🙏🙏

[@garywarren8404]

I would be very interested in the schematics please. I have a couple of filmosounds that could benefit.

[@grosebud4554]

Killer shit man. Agreed with you saying these amps rule for ambient stuff. They are great investments and the resel value is always going up. If anyone is looking for schematics based on Austen hooks amps I actually have them. I got them from a gentleman who got to park inside 3 different hooks amp - the newest hooks amp are a totally unique circuit and very little original is kept. His first 10-20 (like the one Blake mills plays) is the one that is almost totally stock. He started gooping (covering the circuit with rubberized material) to hide his secrets on the later ones (have pics of the internals of the gooped one.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks bro for watching - interesting re the Austen Hooks amps!

[@garywarren8404]

I would be very intersted in the schematics please. I have a couple of filmosounds that could benefit Thanks!

[@TheGuitarShow]

@@garywarren8404 Hi bro Im' afraid I didn't write out a schematic I just came up with the concept and the circuit ideas and Wau Amplification actually put it together. It was a case of me saying: I need transformers here and phase switches and can you take this part of a circuit from this schematic from a famous piece of studio gear etc.

Thanks bro

Nice Rig

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks William

[@mattmcculloch7300]

This is all fantastic - have really enjoyed finding your videos, love the sound of the pedals you've made too!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Many thanks indeed

[@tedfurlo2268]

Ramon Goose, the comprehensive nature of your passion kind of defies description! Generous genius? Or genius generosity? Regardless, always fascinating! Always grateful, Ted Furlo

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks a million Ted 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tinkercitymusic]

Sounding amazing Ramon! Really interesting rundown as well pal. Cheers!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Awesome unique rig, and great playing!

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thank you

[@strat0871]

Very interesting, thanks Mr. Navigator ! 😉

[@TheGuitarShow]

Pleasure bro

[@fongy200]

Hey Ramon, so glad you made this. I to have a Bell & Howe but mines not running at the moment. It's been heavily modified. I intend to rewire it sympathetically at some point. You have both cabinets i have just the film o sound chassis, it's housing was made by the previous owner. You have given me inspiration to get it sorted. Cool Ramon thanks mate. I have one out of a Hammond too.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Pleasure bro

[@TheGuitarShow]

Keep me updated on your filmosound mods

[@anthonylathrop7251]

I love the EF86 sound. My first Amp kit came with an EF86 channel and it was eye-opening. Copied that preamp channel exactly for my scratch build low power Amp. If you find it noisy, there is a Soviet era mil-spec tube that is an exact replacement and less sensitive to noise/vibration.

[@dustinrieseberg8707]

Hey man, I’m so curious about the Goosemaster. Any chance you could run through the sounds in a video? I’d love to see what all it can do. Seems like the worlds best ABY

[@TheGuitarShow]

Yes I will do that for you

[@astraplaneta4656]

What a cool rig. I've never listened to Robben Ford, what records would you recommend I listen to?

[@TheGuitarShow]

Start with Mystic Mile or any albums with the Blue Line

[@doubled5383]

Thanks for posting. For the Goosemaster splitter, is that AFTER your pedals or are you splitting signal at the guitar and running two signals through different effects then to amp?

[@TheGuitarShow]

Its the last thing in my chain, however if I want to create a wet/dry rig then I could put the effect after the Goosemaster only on one side. Thanks!

[@jonnybeck6723]

Does it have a limiter built in? I thimk the "Green Man" and the Grey Man do (The Devil's in the details)

[@mretrain]

Do you have any videos where you go into your wet/dry rig? I have multiple amps, but I really only run one at a time, but I’ve been exploring the idea of getting an ABY box and running two amps simultaneously. A wet/dry rig seems like the best way to get the widest sound with more differentiation. I run a drive, tremolo, delay, and reverb. Logically to me it seems like the best point to split the signal off after the delay so the delay and reverb hit one amp, while the overdrive and tremolo goes to both amps. I’d be interested in your input.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Hi thanks for the message - I promise to do a Wet/Dry video soon - if. you have a few amps then this is so cool to do imo

[@jonnybeck6723]

I wonder if the Ali Farka Toure guitar could use the speaker as a 2nd pickup?

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

素晴らしいです ⚘

ありがとう

[@jonnybeck6723]

So Goosemaster box is gonna go for 4 or 5 grand (of course?)

Have you seen JD Simo's Teisco-esque axe with the slotted headstock? (whoops, mercy me, my GAS is showing)
