theres something about that les paul man, what a piece of art and history

[@michaelstone7514]

That strat is fantastic sounding! Your playing really is vocal and lyrical sounding. Keep.up the great work.

[@chuckyz2]

I was thinking the same thing. Love the strat but really love those those vintage p90's and patent pending humbuckers. Those vintage strat and humbuckers and p90's have harmonic overtones that can't be emulated. Especially in those light bodies made with very old wood. You can't fully appreciate them in recordings over youtube like you can in the room. Especially side by side with modern stuff. But that flat stuff has a place in the arsenal when you want to sound like artists that use(d) modern guitars. Modern being most everything after those golden years in the 50's and early 60's.

[@rizzinthebox7124]

definitely

[@markburrows1179]

I appreciate that you demonstrated that there are not just audible sound differences between Fender and Gibson guitars, but they also have their own individual characteristics. I dislike when people make it a contest of which is better. It really comes down to what genre and style a player wants to capture. The only answer is own every brand. Gretsch and Rickenbacker also have their own tones and characteristics. Myself, I am not above doing modifications to stabilize a guitar. For example, if the main criticism is the guitar not staying in tune. Then locking tuners may be the answer. But I always remove original strings first and replace them with my choice of Ernie Ball strings and stretch the hell out of them before choosing a tuning. I am amused when folks buy a guitar and just do standard tuning and get ticked off when they can't pick, strum, or shred like their guitar heroes. They are playing the right chords but it sounds like crap and they blame the manufacturer. They just are not aware of what amplifiers, switches, or effects settings that the artist was using, never mind the tuning. Even most acoustic guitar players use different key and off tuning, one of the most famous for doing such was Crosby, Stills and Nash and sometimes Young. When live, they were always changing guitars for different songs because each was tuned different and they had to rely on their crew to anticipate any changes that they might make, but they usually made verbal cues as in, "The next song is about...." They didn't like to clutter the stage with guitars.

[@BaconatorJames]

@@markburrows1179 Yep, that's the first thing I do too. Ernie Ball 9.5's are my favorite recently for all my fixed bridge guitars. I found 10s stay in tune better, but it's no real issue. As long as they make it through a song, I don't care. I use EB 9's on my Strat & change them frequently. When I added Grover locking tuners to my ES-339, the only guitar I have that stays in tune better is the Tele Deluxe, with Fender locking tuners. I let new strings sit overnight then play them for about an hour before I consider the string change complete. Just average locking tuners help immensely.

The backdrop in this video in particular is just👌

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

My rig through the 80s and 90s consisted of 1965 Fender Pro Reverb and a 1966 Fender Super Reverb! I ran them in stereo and used a Mesa Boogie V-Twin preamp/ Distortion box and one of the original Ibanez ts808 pedals. I have owned a lot of rigs being that I'm 66 years old but I look back on that particular combination as pretty much the best tone I ever achieved! Nice playing Matthew I always enjoy your Insight and your chops!

[@aleksamrkela831]

The solos in that opening number were beautiful!

[@TK-fk4po]

I like the fact that it’s a 40 watt deluxe more or less. I basically did that by putting my 65 bandmaster in a deluxe reverb cabinet with one 12” speaker. As usual Matthew, you make every amp sound awesome.

[@Morrison9155]

Traditionally this amp was a 40 watt twin but it seems to have been turned into a bandmaster reverb combo

[@benjaminfowler4513]

​@@Morrison9155 why do you consider it more of a bandmaster than deluxe or the original mini twin?

[@Morrison9155]

@@benjaminfowler4513 because the circuit in the bandmaster/super/pro were the same Except for the resistor in place of the mids control and whether there was also a reverb circuit. Being that the speaker impedance is different, the only major difference in the amps is the transformer, rectifier and speaker set up. The preamps are similar to a deluxe but the 6L6’s in the Super/bandmaster/pro provide a much larger healthier tone when you turn the amp past three.

[@GrahamRonne]

Solid state rectifier makes sense for an amp with that type of headroom vs size. Stiffening up the output is not a bad thing. Depends on what you are looking for. Thanks for posting matthew!

[@stevenschrock]

Sweeeeeeet!!!!!!! The last jam I could feel you brother ...keep that coming...don’t be afraid to turn it loose...guitarist like you come once in a lifetime...don’t over think it let your fingers do the talking!!!!!!

[@stringbender57]

Nice review! This looks like an amp I'd like a lot. I used to play a 2-12" Pro Reverb from the 70's. This lighter version with only what you need for that authentic 'Fender' sound is very appealing. Now subbed!

[@abradfordajb]

VERY nice "in the room" recording technique. I always appreciate this, as opposed to most everyone else's "studio" over-processed sounds, which to me, all sound pretty much the same (i guess because they're all competing for "the best" KZbin recording.) Thanks for your honest straightforward approach to making vid's. Rgds.

[@jeremyw.bullock231]

100% agree! Matt, sounds like you are using 2 recorded signals and panning them. I'm guessing one is the mic'd amp and the other is room tone, possibly from the camera. is that right?
