"The enemy of art is the absence of limitations." -Orson Welles The beauty of guitar music is in its limitations. When you are only give a single volume and tone, you will try to maximize the different types of tones. Then you add in the pickup selector. Then you add in the amp EQ. There are so many tonal variations can be achieved with just simple controls, but we live in a modern digital age where we have everything accessible at our fingers with modeling amps and digital amp sims, but there is a beauty in the limitations and it truly breeds creativity and innovation.

An even more important aspect of all this though is that with easy software technology for doing anything and everything at a few clicks, this allows businesses to completely control everything that's produced. A corporation no longer needs to bother hiring actual artists and craftspeople to make music or films or whatever else, they can just produce anything from software templates based on whatever the internet data dictates will sell best (which is of course always repeating old things, hence why everything's gone stale) and they can just hire whoever to be a brand image for them and tell them what to do and write their stuff for them etc etc.

With a bit different amp he could have gone a LOT further than this with minimal effort. No channel switching or EQ needed. One amp-footswitch and one boost pedal does it. With an amp's switchable reverb (preferably an amp with drippy reverb :) and a single boost pedal to keep some headroom, he can extend the range into a (thin but serviceable) Jazz timbre, a Surf, Spy and Spaghetti Western timbre, and Ska & reggae skank rhythms .

GREAT tones outta that Telecaster! The main reason I use a pedalboard instead of an amp is because you have to turn tube-amps up to ear-bleed level to get the over-driven tones on display here. That's not always cool, depending on the venue. Tube amps are also heavy and require mains power, and I like to busk. Finally, I work with a looper and delay pedals, again, something that's not going to be present / switchable while playing live on most tube amps. I sing too, so I need a PA as well. My current set-up uses a small battery powered pedal board with a Circle Looper / Drum machine by donner, a digital delay pedal with tap tempo, two cheap analog over-drive pre-amp pedals stacked for various gain staging, tones, run into a Mooer Radar cab sim. It's a stereo rig, and I output the signal to one or two Bose S1 PA speakers which are also battery powered. I plug my vocal mic directly into the BOSE S-1 PA, or into my Zoom H-6 recorder/mixer. My main axe is an acoustic electric guitar with a magnetic soundhole pick-up, so I don't have nobs to control tone and volume at the guitar like Glen demonstrates here. I'm quite happy with the tones I'm able to get at LOW volume levels with a compact set-up. The Bose S-1 gets plenty loud if I lean on it, trust me - and it's clear as a bell. I used to cart around a Mesa Rectoverb 25, but again, it was just TOO LOUD for most settings - at least without pedals in front of it. Heavy too. Trade off is complexity of course, and all the issues that flow from gigging with a more complex set-up. I also have a Boss Katana. Nice solid state amp that you don't have to turn up insanely loud to get great tones, and it's got plenty of on-board effects. Mains powered though, and there's no input for a dynamic mic / vocals which the Bose has and does brilliantly, so the Katana sits in storage as a back-up right now.

I tend to put pedals into two categories. One is tone and the other is effects. Most tone pedals aren’t needed beyond needing more gain. Effects like chorus, delay, rotary, wah etc. can’t be replicated but depending on what type of stuff you’re playing you may not need them. I generally think it’s better to have and not need than need and not have. An occasional effects pedal can be very effective……

I've always said I like my slew of guitars...which does not include a Tele....but IF I could only have one I'd sell all of them and get a Tele.

Amazing video. I use a Tele to play hard rock and metal on. It has so much tonal range, there is so much you can do with it.
