Who will win the Modeling Wars? // Guitar Friend 31

[@alienlovesecrets9379]

I am absolutely sure, some restaurant will definitely win the war between guitar modellers.

[@EJBGuitar]

When I get fired from work, it'll be because of watching Guitar Friends as soon as it drops right at my desk. But you know, you gotta do what you gotta do.

[@thesoozeTJ]

This is my fave comment in a long time!

[@joemiller9856]

Almost 40 mins in until we get to non- restaurant content. lol

[@thesoozeTJ]

Hehehe some sort of new record for us

[@lloydsnyder7277]

2x playback is the way to go

Finally. I can’t mow my grass until the podcasts drop. I’m gonna have to brush hog my yard now.

[@thesoozeTJ]

HAHA yeesssss

[@nickgriffis3405]

The confirmation bias "nod" shot was PRIME. Got me.

[@murphytoonz]

The final five minutes of this episode is the greatest thing ever committed to the internet.

[@thesoozeTJ]

Hahaha “committed to the internet” is solid

[@markjones3176]

Love your show!!! Keep it coming

[@LaurenceRutherford]

Nobody ever mentions Boss!! GT1000/GX100/ME90 are great !

[@timcrawford9119]

If I drank 2oz of water every time someone on guitar friends mentions Jimmy John’s, Teslas, or an issue living in the Nashville area, I’d be so well hydrated

[@thesoozeTJ]

Grew up in San Francisco and the California burritos up here are usually different compared to SoCal. Usually fries on the side in my experience. Mission style burrito for me every time given the chance.

[@yikelu]

You hit it on the head with Helix overdrives. I've *never* loved the OD/distortion stomp models in Helix. Any time I can get an amp distortion in Helix, I'll try to use it instead of a distortion stomp model. That said, I have learned to like using ODs as additional gain stages to add to the amp distortion. The Timmy, OCD, Klon, TS9, KoT/PoT, Zendrive models all are pretty useful. It's when I try something like a RAT into a super clean amp where I just dislike it. For delays, I'm very happy with Helix. Adriatic and Tape are very good IMO, and all I typically need. Reverbs ... could probably be better. But they're not a core enough part of my sound for me to be so nitpicky.

[@skyman98]

Welcome to food friends podcast!

[@thesoozeTJ]

we joke about this in EP32

[@guitartoneSA]

Regarding the Kemper chips. Freescale was acquired by NXP and the DSP56xxx used in the Kemper is still in production. It is just NRND and it's in fact probably the best audio specific DSP family of chips ever made hence why the Kemper is still the leader.

[@ejw3006]

Came for the modelers, stayed for the guacamole rant 😂

[@JasonShumate]

I got to minute 28 and absolutely forgot what I clicked on to watch.

[@thesoozeTJ]

HA gotta love that

[@LivinginLosAngeles-re5yx]

🤣🤣🤣 Love these guys though....

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Fishman Fluences use printed pcb "coils", nothing digital. There's actually no copper windings in them, hence no noise and the ability to stack many voices into the one pickup housing.

[@ToneJunkieTV]

Thank You i did not know this, Thats very interesting. I saw them at name when they first came out and never really understood how they worked....been thinking it was digital.

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

@@ToneJunkieTV no problem man, yes, they are very interesting. The computer program they use to design the PCB coils and voices is fascinating; it allows total control over every aspect of the pickups characteristics without the trial and error and inherent inconsistency of conventional wound pickups.

[@oaoa_sessions4473]

I was surprisingly bummed the double neck didnt appear one last time at the end 😂 The drop C riff was a decent replacement though. 🤘🏿

So Metal!

And Kramer said: Why Don't you just tell me what movie you want to see. Seinfeld, LOL. What an Ending. LOL.

[@thesoozeTJ]

😂😂

[@rethinktone]

I actually think the margins are massive on the tonex one. It's just a host pedal, and the enclosure is cheap. They didn't add anything to it like bluetooth or anything complex. Think of how cheap the Amazon pedals are. I know this has a few more features. But I think the margins are fine on this.

[@ToneJunkieTV]

You may be right!

[@rethinktone]

@@ToneJunkieTV I'd understand though why they would strategically make the margins slim. You guys made a good point about trying to get more people into their ecosystem

[@ethagr8162]

as a native of San Diego, the standard California burrito is steak french fries (or potatoes if you’re weird) pico de gallo sour cream. The only other acceptable variant is the surf and turf California burrito, which has shrimp. You can get it if you go closer to the beach.

[@thesoozeTJ]

man, I would eat one RIGHT now and I just finished lunch

[@ethagr8162]

Same here. Unfortunately I now live in Florida but I have found one Taco place that makes a decent one, but it’s still not the same 😣.

[@joemiller9856]

It might be nice for fractal to default to a simpler mode in the UI and have an “expert mode” to open up the UI for a deep dive..

[@wesleyfletcher7654]

They do. Just stay on the first page.

[@joemiller9856]

@@wesleyfletcher7654 - I don’t have one yet.. looking at an FM3 for my next acquisition. Thanks

[@aaronthomas7790]

This 100%. I'd love it if Helix has an advanced gui toggle in the software and if fractal had a simple mode on the device and software. They could both learn from the other.

[@bobbyodell8676]

I won’t know, I’ll be too busy playing my Kemper.

[@thesoozeTJ]

Kemper fo LIFE

[@yikelu]

Also, as far as plugins, I think a huge component of that is what kind of device people use. Me, I'm a desktop computer guy through and through. I'll use plugins if they give me something I feel like I'm missing. The Neural DSP stuff is fun to play through, as is Amplitube and Helix Native. I still have pedals etc for live use, but it's cool to be able to try out different things through my interface/computer. But not everybody will be like that. If your primary device is your phone, then maybe you wouldn't even consider plugins, especially if it's Android.

[@whiteroom2773]

Top notch restaurant reviews, thanks guys 😂😅

[@thesoozeTJ]

😂😂🎉

[@TimatorA]

Heavy ass metal for the next intro. I wanna hear the AI growl

[@troyrahnedir]

The next AI theme song could include a sprinkling of references to the inhumanity and injustice of South American themed chain restaurants.

100% tonemaster pro. Just a matter of time. It’s the endgame.

[@vedder10]

I love my Tonemaster Pro. I don't have to fight with the interface. I can make changes on the fly real quick and easy. I'm hoping they add more amps eventually but for now it's got everything I need.

LOL the BEST

[@pclindholm]

5 minutes of restaurant banter is charming. 45 minutes is insufferable. Can anyone break it down for me - who does each person think will win the modelling wars?

[@TheCandel34]

Mexico, Tipico in Murfreesboro. Must try.

speaking of pickups that can sound like anything. When are we getting IR's or profiles for particular guitars/pickups like a 59 LP or JM or Hendrix strat etc.

Midwest emo ai intro song!

[@MatthewDavidMontgomery]

I’ll hop on the Soy Bistro bandwagon - surprised that the spicy pork bulgogi wasn’t mentioned. #2 and 3 for middle TN lunch spots would have to be Joyland and Bringle’s.
