I wish everyone shipped their pedals with power supplies, I applaud EHX for shipping their pedals with them.

[@Bluepilled-c5t]

But everyone has a power supply these days, because pedals don’t use batteries anymore where they once all did. So the power supply is redundant.

[@kdrc]

Glad that you laughed at the mention of Canadian dollars. We know they are jokes and as such, get printed with Monopoly money colours🇨🇦Aside from Crown Royal🥃and hockey pucks, we don't have much of anything else.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It was more a laugh WITH rather than at. I respect but enjoy what's going on over there!

[@kdrc]

@@TheGuitarGeek No offence taken, Andy. I am Canadian and we regularly laugh at our own money. When you mentioned Canadian dollars for the first time and laughed at the same time, it was s special moment for me and I commented. You may know the Darrell Braun Guitar channel, and one time he threw loads of Canadian money at the camera pretending to flex it...then said afterwards that it was Canadian and not worth anything. I have gifted you with two of our Canadian dollars just before making this comment🇨🇦💰🍁❤

[@oldmanlearningguitar446]

In grade 4 Slash played a recorder. Look for the Slash Recorder by Gibson soon.

[@FortressofShred]

I'm still holding out hope for the Slash Signature Dave Mustaine V. It's a deal at $35,000 projected price.

[@The..Butterfly..Effect]

The Week in Gear is an excellent show

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks so much

[@retromacman620]

Blue is a nice color on an acoustic, I agree so many are sunburst and natural top.

[@FortressofShred]

Epiphone released a few this year in blue.

[@GitShiddy]

That Les Paul that was teased though out is the most blues lawyer looking guitar to not have a PRS logo on it.

[@sirquarter5729]

Not even the blues layer have that much money to spent on a not labled guitar 😢

[@timoconnell]

My understanding on most EHX pedals is that they run best at 9.6V, which is why they include their own power supply (9.6V // 200mA). Looking at the LPB3 specs, it “requires” 9.6V. However, running it at 9V won’t hurt the pedal in any way since you’re under powering the circuit.

[@PG-ex3kl]

I don’t know but they die quickly in my experience. Or maybe my electric supply is dirty

[@zanzabar4ky7]

Normal 9V bricks and batteries run at 9.6V too.

[@NeungView]

That's just shitty engineering

[@SheaZ_2000]

Week in gear is the only way i stay updated 😭 thank u andy

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You are very welcome!

[@vasotoe]

So happy you picked the Solar this week! It's a beautiful and interesting instrument for sure

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I love it. It surprises me!

[@alanpaskell3997]

This is my first comment, and I wannabe a winner. No favourite Teletubbies for me, they are all equal! Great channel Andy, for all of us with GAS.

[@jDawgGoBlue]

Tinky-Winky is my teletubby of choice! Great episode!

[@forgetfulLlama31]

Congrats on 120k and thanks for doing the giveaway. Laa Laa all day long for me, low key alpha and carefree

[@LookinUp2001]

I like the blue on the Epiphone.

[@chrisferguson2424]

Great show

[@riccardocuoghi2071]

Not the Siepen model but i recently buy a Solar guitar and after playied a lot of high quality guitars as Ibanez Prestige and even a Custom Kiesel I can say the Solar became my number one guitar. No issue beutiful to play, if looks to much expensive is because Evertune bridge is a really expensive option that raise guitar price a lot

[@marcwebb3738]

Remember seeing you busking in Swansea, (still waiting for my change from the £1, I give you 😂) honestly such a great content,

[@bofuscrapshaw]

I never miss a week in gear

[@tonyhogwood4737]

Brilliant, wow

[@Zoso981]

I didn't think that the Gibson Custombuckers could live up to the hype. But they do, they really do.

[@robcobi]

I love that Gibson! Lol, to each their own 🙂

[@tostrmofo6686]

This has become one of, if not my absolute favorite weekly show on youtube. The Solar looks great to me, would be interesting if I was in the market for something like that. The Thomann Les Paul... I think in another color it could look great.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

That means a lot. It’s fun to make and I would love for it to be THE go to show for gear news

[@Miri_2024]

120K - You deserve much more

[@seloz2000]

Without a doubt the best and my fav is Tinky Winky.

[@Robstafarian]

The Wee Thunder Amps Midknight Valencia is interesting. Relative to the unnecessary phase inverter, the pedal is missing a pair of 12AX7 (i.e. ECC83) tubes; each of the Orange AD30HTC's channels has two gain stages, hence we can subtract one more 12AX7 for the channel which is not in the pedal. This means that the pedal is missing a single 12AX7, likely the amp's input stage.

[@EmmaDelamare]

Ooooh, that Epi acoustic, I do actually want that quite a lot.

[@FrancescoRicciulli]

Quality content and good point of view as always!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you

[@ikestoddard2458]

I do not have a favorite teletubbie. They all disturb me. My sons did not watch them, growing up. That Solar is a beaut, though. I would rock it, for sure. Now to enter the Beetronics contest.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Good luck and I totally get that they disturb you

[@shai550]

I like the blue Epiphone.

[@GalGaos]

The Midknight Valencia very interesting and looks like a great buy

[@TheStrykerProject]

By 'First Comment", I assume that to be a pinned comment from Andy, which would have a link for the pedal give-a-way? But there isn't one...or am I just not smart with the UK words? 🤔😁 BTW, I'm definitely here for one of my favorite segments, 'The Week in Gear'! Thank you, Andy!

[@timhopkins3810]

“But! If you’re the kind of dentist…” 😂 I’m not one of those… probably couldn’t even afford the epiphone at the rate they’re going too! Keep up the good work Andy 😊

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks 😉

[@zanzabar4ky7]

The slash does not come with customer buckers. It comes with custom burst bucker Alnico 2. They used to be called slash buckers, but that was too close to his SD pickup name so they had to change it. The slash pickups are wound like 1 hot brust bucker 61, but with Alnico 2 instead of 5 from the specs and split readings.

[@PooNinja]

Tube stomp o amp FTW , Fruit Tone Win 🤘🏽

[@cbusbrian]

Another great video Cheers! Please tell me what that LP style guitar over your right shoulder is. I love the pick guard shaped to fellow the cut away.

[@ApWijnands]

Thank you! 🙏🏼🦆

[@martinclayton7260]

That Solar guitar looks fantastic! I love the colour, the only thing that would be a quibble for me, is that bridge, as I've never tried one?

[@robb0178]

Great another Slash endorsed guitar that’s what we need, I’m waiting for him to release his own underwear range cause we need more Slash products.

Andy, are you a fan of The Darkness? They are one of my favorite bands. Was fortunate to see them a few months back during their US tour. Absolutely killer!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I love The Darkness. I’ve seen them play live a few times and each gig was great fun except one where I think Justin was going through some personal stuff. Still had a blast though

[@akwamarsunzal]

Whatever happened to the Solar "budget" guitars they promised? Did I miss it?

[@marks9197]

It's S by Solar, they have their own website. And they sell out quickly.

[@saarangnarayan123]

Re. the pick of the week Solar finish, look up the Ibanez LHM-1 🫢

[@Robstafarian]

In case this clarification will help anyone, the midrange filter on the Electro-Harmonix LPB-3 is semiparametric because its Q (bandwidth) is not fully adjustable.

[@BrentJJ]

Thanks for the excellent content... eh. 😊

[@DarylT64]

Where is the link to the giveaway? Don't see it in the comments.

[@DerekHart-g3t]

Is it me or is that image on pickguard on the Epiphone upside down. It looks fine when hung on a wall or on a stand but not when it's being played.

[@joeandreana2645]

I was playing my Orange Terror Stamp this AM: if Midnight Valencia not your cup of tea check one out.

[@greggotoole1675]

Would you even ship to America? Love your channel

Waiting for the Slash double bass or keyboard or another instrument he is in no way linked to playing

[@yonniesboy]

ANDYS PICK OF THE WEEK 😊

[@mouthbreathers2592]

On EHX piwer supply, I’m guessing the target is the oft-neglected customer satisfaction. More manufacturers should try that for novelty’s sake…

"You forgot to pin the comment again, didn't you Andy?"... Those pedals look rather fun.

I'm going to have to go with Po as my favorite teletubby, mainly just because I didn't want to pick tinky-winky

[@ralphhathaway-coley5460]

I think that Gibson Les Paul missed a trick, that heavily quilted/tiger strip body would have looked really cool with a purple dye job, or dark green like that solar, frankly any of the darker colours, anything to stop it looking like a very bad photo-print!

[@kdrc]

Please enjoy some silly Canadian money🍁...with my apologies...for the money...being, you know, Canadian and all. You have two of our dollars, referred to in coin form as "loonies." My apologies, yet again🇨🇦

[@TheDrunkenScoundrel]

Most pedals are impossible to change batteries on now. Power supplies can often be a B&^ch to source properly if you don't already have them, AANNNDD since this will likely be either an 'Always-On' pedal or 'Always Used' it will likely be plugged in all the time and therefor kill the battery unless it is plugged into a power supply which will only make matters worse as it is a pedal designed to ALWAYS be in the signal chain for people who use it and if it doesn't have power, the signal chain will be at best, harmed, or at worst useless.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

June 10th is my mum's birthday 😂 ❤

[@mojojoemaz2021]

Teletubbie? I don't know. I never watched the show. Lol.

[@mattburdock1734]

Love EHX but just wish they'd upgrade their switches... I'd pay a little more for something that didn't sound like stamping on a sardine tin in a cave :)

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I agree with this totally. I wonder how much extra it would be

[@Intheflesh79]

Those things are demons!

[@markspurgin8225]

The Wannabee is cool 😎 👌 👍 😀

[@wbfaulk]

Po. I think the primary reason that Les Paul is ugly is because the gray body fades into the background. I bet you that it they had used plain white binding instead of the 5-ply black and white binding that just becomes gray at a distance, and knobs other than the trans black ones that just fade into the body… Well, it might not be so bad.

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

The Electro Harmonix LBP3 is a really useful tool. But I'm using a 10 band equilizer from Joyo for cutting through in the band context for soloing. The most interesting thing this time is Semitone... I was on their website and found some very interesting pedals and guitars... This time I haven't found gear in your listing that really inspired me, but I found it on Semitone.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I think the lpb3 would be a powerful choice for anyone without an eq pedal. Glad semitone was a good sponsorship choice

Sorry $800 for a layered back and sides laurel fretboard guitar is a rip off, for a similar price you can get a solid Yamaha or faith, for a little extra you can have a lovely rosewood backed one

I wonder if fender and Gibson will run out of retro years to continue remaking and have to resort to reissuing “ 1970s” models with shite pickups and necks and bodies that don’t fit well and plastics picked out the scrap bin. Some guitarist will buy it ,

[@wraith_1171]

[@jimmcdougall9973]

So Gibson had an excess of 335 stock. Burn a hundred, instead of giving them to needy kids, slap the name of a guitarist, that can only cover licks from the likes of Page, in the guitar case, throw in his album that won’t sell and ship you to Disney Land for a coke snorting event. 😂

[@trev3971]

EHX include a power supply because they care about their customers more than the bottom line.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

They don’t give it away for free

[@trev3971]

@@TheGuitarGeek If they don't include it, they're selling a product that doesn't work out of the box. I know plenty of companies do that, but it's obnoxious. A new pedal should be plug-and-play.

If I were running Gibson, all these $15000 signature model guitars would be using reject bodies because only a dumbass would pay that for one.

Oh boy that Solar was hands down the ugliest thing ever. That LP is not winning any contests for beauty either but I would take it first every time.

[@Krullmatic]

The thing is, Slash is just an average blues based player. There's really nothing exciting about his playing. People have bought in to the hype and marketing like he's a great guitar god, ir something. Like I said he's just average. There's millions of players that play that style, and some way better, but do they get all that recognition? No way, Jose! Even If I had the money, I would not by any Gibson whatsoever. A person could buy 3 top of the line custom Fenders for that price! There guitars are just not worth it. They're the apple of the guitar world. Expensive, but not any better than any other name brand.
