Sounds

This is a variation of the other video I uploaded a minute ago. As I am asked quite a few times per week if the RPs can produce some heavy distortions or sweet long sustaining solo tones I thought I make a video for you guys and girls that features a few of those presets. Again I didnt change a single parameter on none of the examples what you hear is what you get. I also used the poweramp in of an amplifier called “The Valve” which is a italian made 2×12 combo. But since I use the poweramp in the amps preamp is not in the signal chain…the RP is the preamp for all the the examples.

Showing the versatility and tone of my new axe, Carvin CS6. I’m using the guitar’s volume control to go from clean to distortion. It has coil taps so you can get some strat-ish sound out of it too.

The setting on the Tubeking is Bass +3; Mid +5; High -2 (Tubeking has active eq); Gain 5; Level 6.5; and Noise gate off. Also, I replaced the stock tube with Tungsol 12ax7 but the stock tube sounded just fine.

The setting on the TBX is Bass 1; Mid 2; and High 0 and this too has an active eq. The gain nob is at 3 and level was around 6 on the clean channel without the over drive switch on.

I also used the zoom g2. 1u pedal but only to add slight delay.

Thought I’d put together a demo of the Blackstar HT-Dual. I tried this pedal out recently and fell in love with the tone from it. For a long time I’ve been looking for a way to get a Marshall-like distortion from my Fender Twin and this in my opinion is the closest thing to it. I love the Twin for its immaculate clean tone but I’ve always loved the Marshall crunch as it’s the quintessential rock sound!

I’ve read comments on the forums from people complaining about the fact this this pedal isn’t ‘pure’ valve distortion, apparently it’s more like Marshall Valvestate circuitry. I don’t know enough about this stuff, but I do know I like the sound of valve gear and this, for my money sounds great. I don’t care what’s inside it ’cause it sounds excellent!!!

Hope you like the demo folks,

Matt.

A review of a Dimarzio PAF and a Dimarzio Super Distortion.

Sorry I’m not actually in the picture, I just can’t stand it when people stand (or sit) in front of the amp because it affects the sound.

Equipment (as stated in video):
-Gibson Les Paul w/ Dimarzio PAF (neck) and Dimarzio Super Distortion (Bridge)
-Marshall TSL 60W Head
-Marshall 1960A Cab
-Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor

I have other videos that were recorded with an SM57 for better quality that’s more true to the actual sound. Check ‘em out.

Just a little sample what the Egnater Rebel can do. Pardon my playing- I haven’t played in awhile, but this amp inspired me to play!! The distortion sounds a little compressed do to the camera’s microphone so this is probably not the best representation of what she sounds like. It’s still decent though.

This is testing my bran-new Slash Signature Les Paul VOS.
To test various sounds of this guitar, at first, I played the opening of “Ain’t Life Grand” with rear pickup and changing tone from crunch to distorted with volume control. Next the riff of “Always On The Run” for rear pickup / distorted sound. Then I played “Only Woman Bleed” for clean tone with front piciup. And at last, I played “Paradise City” for rear-pickuped clean tone and distorted sound of both pickups.
There is no backing tracks. This is just a test for understanding new guitar’s tone.
If you want to know about my amp, please watch my channel and read FAQ.
