@@looty8982 that isn't entirely accurate, not all "good" microphones try to recreate the sound as realistically as possible. Even in this vid although he's using a sdc (most accurate type of mic), it's in hyper cardioid setup close to the cab. Meaning that he would have clean enough of a source to do wondrous amounts of post processing like you hear in the video. What you want from a good rig (for recording) is to give the mixing engineer as easy of a job as possible, least noise, most dynamic range, strong transient response and frequency range. But even without that, you can still get the balance relatively decent with a limited cab.

That’s because solid state amps are less expensive than tube amps, and solid state is a more transparent technology. Meaning, they stay really nice and clean, but just collapse when driven, whereas tubes aren’t nearly as transparent and clear and articulate but they break up in a nice way.

The rise of precision computer controlled manufacturing. Back when things were still done with jigs and hand tools, you might've had a point in whinging about the country of origin, but nowadays a guy from indonesia can run a CNC router just as well as a guy from america or mexico. I really enjoy that it effectively puts a pin in lusting after the "best" gear. I know academically that a $350 RG is 90-95% as good as a prestige model, which gets me off ebay or reverb and into my seat to practice, because time spent practicing will make me sound way way way better than spending 2 hours and 3 grand on the "perfect" instrument. Now that music man majesty can be a reward for learning to shred instead of a desperation purchase to get a playable guitar.

Played that for a while until i broke a string and didn’t want to get it fixed lol but a couple months go by, my sisters boyfriend got her a really nice Yamaha acoustic and we both played that thing for about a year. I felt like I was getting better, and I really wanted to dabble with electric. So i broke down one day, saved some money and ordered a Fender bullet Squier, in clamshell pink because I’m a fan of pink lol. Got the cheapest 50$ fender amp with it and i’ve been learning songs and trying to teach myself tricks and chords these past couple months. I got to say, music has changed my life and for the better.

I've had tens of strats now and they're all unique sounding. Having said that, I've never had two of the same model guitar. So I've never had two 2010 Squires of the same model for instance.

I’m really starting to learn that setting up a guitar. Even with almost no knowledge or experience reading a 5 minute guide and using 2 Allen keys and a quarter will make a shitty guitar feel like it plays better than an expensive one that’s just out the box that’s been sitting in a store for months.

[@OIP_1]

decent strings, some cleaning and buffing and a bit of care with the setup will make a massive difference to a cheap guitar. especially these days the manufacturing is pretty amazing on cheap guitars. upgrading any of the hardware (bridge, tuners, nut, electronics) is huge too.

[@TheFrontyer]

A good setup and new pickups and it will sound just as good. Could also upgrade the hardware for better quality. Sound wise there will be zero difference between a $80 guitar and a $3000 guitar, if you install the same pickups.

[@zaidalhussainy6072]

bruh the mic doesn't change shit, the point of the video is to show that u can have a good sound with the cheapest equipments, regardless of the mic, just imagine ur self listening near him, and that'll be a 0$ mic

[@SirJamez0]

Does that mean I'm worth nothing?

[@Deoslatt]

@@SirJamez0 yes. It does jamez

[@c.arandyl]

And if people point out post processing and pedals behind the scenes (as they always do), what of it? everyone post processes their stuff in the end, even a little bit.

It is just like in singing you can listen to a hundred singers and you will instantly know THE SINGER out of the group because there is a big difference between a decent singer and one that is destined for greatness. The guitar is no different the clarity of his notes are a giveaway that he knew what he was doing. The amp is impressive the sound coming out of the amp sounds full-bodied and clear. A good player can make even a substandard rig sound like a million bucks.

[@doctorskull8197]

Outstanding! MORE ‼️😎

[@Grae1]

it doesn't matter how much you spend in equipment or instruments as long as you can play it well you're good to go

[@ansonlee9401]

No...

[@paulg3686]

Ehhh. If you're recording or gigging you need to have a bit better fidelity, maybe something that weighs less to avoid hurting your back (because cheap instruments are generally heavy), and whatever sound you're going for. And a better priced instrument is probably easier to play for beginners because they're usually better set up, but Im sure he already set this guitar up pretty well. But yeah, you can still totally do well on cheaper gear, but your opportunities may be limited (your albums lo-fi), and your guitar might be slightly annoying to play, but it doesnt hinder the actual playing process.

along with added reverb and effects

[@rustyshackleford9557]

Yes, lots of nice digital reverb but I don't notice it being included in the list of items in the signal chain. Maybe he just made an honest oversight. But remove that reverb and this would not be so lush.

[@7baru1234]

まさに"弘法筆を選ばず"ってやつですな

[@lincolntube]

For those unawared and stupid ones, he meant to show how a cheap gear sounds, not how the expensive microphone that recorded it does! Otherwise if he had followed this logic, this video would have been recorded in 144p as well!

[@basssoup8455]

Exactly

[@οτρόποςπουείμαι]

he's using a reverb effect not included in the amp

[@costascostas1760]

Why are you calling people stupid? The sound you hear is not the sound that you would hear if you were in the room with him. It likelyvsounds crap withtoo much mid and teeble. So those raising that point are correct. And you are correct too because this video shows you can still have a great recording with a cheap guitar and amp.

[@snow15243]

But he's still using a bunch of effects in post.

[@ultraviolet_sb]

Literally right after I asked myself how much the mic was 😆 Too good

[@EnvisionedBlindness]

He forgot to leave out the 12 truss rod and action adjustments he had to make to get this to work and the 18 hours spent eqing all the disgusting frequencies out in post. But sure thing

[@ericpurvis2262]

[@Allguitarinfo]

Awesome video you play well enough that you need to be playing on the most expensive guitar equipment in the world

[@hmmhm6620]

It's the 750$ microphone he's recording with and the 500$ of preprocessing VST plugins he's using to process the sound. If he uses his best guitar and best amp but bad microphone and no postprocessing, it'll sound much worse than this video

[@GatheredStorm_YT]

This just shows that as long as you know what you’re doing it really doesn’t matter that much how expensive your gear is
