I’ve never played a Mark III but it seems to be the least liked of all Marks. Even more interesting is the other guitar player in Santana’s band. Saw them 2022. That guy plays a Rectifier. I couldn’t believe it, but it worked in Carlos’s band. 👍🤪

You literally have the worst pfp I've ever seen in my whole history on YT

Yes that's the most important question, how does it sound on a track for example. If you watch towards the end of the video, I use it while playing a synth pad. I patched a rotary encoder to the fundamental pitch in the Pitcher, and played a simple melody over the Pad. It's quite fun to do. This is the last minute or so of the video.

It’s a studio FX unit, the majority of the Fx are verbs. Quite a good unit actually

So maybe show a mix or something with it. I have a few guitars, but I am a touring fiddler. I have a studio with a real console that I bought from a founding member of the Doobie Brothers who I had business arrangements with. I have been looking around for another reverb to accent my current ones, but not to use as a guitar effect. I use a PCM 70 and a Sony R7 now. I can use more reverbs in mixes as long as they have Gates. I have gates here, but it is easier to use something like the PCM 70 that can gate itself. All I see on RUclips are a bunch of goofy guitar players showing off with different reverbs. I can play electric. I have a custom made stereo amp that can send 400 watts her half stack on my Marshall cabs. I never use reverb on that because when you do the sound gets lost in the room. I can use a 240 ms delay. That works without getting lost. Your presentation convinced me that the Kurzweil is not going to pay off for me. It is made for guitar players and not recording studios. In a mix you have a soundscape. Like a landscape only with sounds, and the sounds are placed in different sonic environments. It sets each singer or musician apart from the other AND without masking the others. This is done with gates, delays, reverbs and pans. To have a company design the interface by using note references tells you everything. How many techs know music nomenclature? I would say, from my experience, NONE. They come in from more of an engineering side. They understand ms and frequency. Musicians are all about making their performance sound impressive. Recording engineers and producers are all about making the recording sound impressive.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. It sounds better when used Live.

Man, you are so dumb & you don't even know it.

@@SaintLuminus never sell your gear

The unit is ridiculously good. You can tell it was created by a bunch of very clever people.

Hey thanks Tony. Yeah I'm just having some fun here with some good natured ribbing. Oh yes, I just recorded a live performance video, and its so fascinating how different the recording is compared to what I was actually hearing & most importantly feeling on stage. Wild stuff sometimes. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the vid, appreciate it.

Ohhhhh, I be that would sound amazing. For sure.....waiting is really hard to do.

The Plethora is connected to the front of the amp in mono. The amp is connected to a loadbox, then I take the line out of the loadbox to a small mixer where I mix in stereo effects. The stereo mix goes to a stereo SS amplifier then on to two speaker cabs. There's other ways to achieve stereo but this is how I did it when I made this video.

@@SaintLuminus Thanks a lot for your reply. I was thinking of connecting the Plethora to the FX Loop of my mono ampli and then sending to the PA the stereo out of the Plethora3 (enriched with the embedded cab rig sim) and using the cabinet of the ampli as my monitor.

@@alessiograziani6355 You still have to have a return to the amp or you won’t get any sound to the cab. I have redone my stereo rig using two amps and the Fx loop. I plan on doing a vid on that soon

@@SaintLuminus ok, I'll wait for this video, because I really like your sound in this video. Many thanks again

@@alessiograziani6355 🙏 Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

Absolutely! In fact I went through the Andy Timmons Mkv 25 video with Doug West again, and had some aha moments. Also went back through the manual again today, and it gave me more ideas. As you know, the tonal options are nearly limitless.

You need to make an appointment to have the wax dug out of your ears.

​@@padfoliowould getting rid of the wax get his solos out of the minor pentatonic scale.

Yes, and notice that his Mesa snakeskin MkI is also used in that video

Haha. I’ll take that as a compliment. 🤪 Thanks for watching, appreciate it

@SaintLuminus , It is a compliment! You did a great job man! 👍

@@XPJV 🙏 I felt the guitar community could use a little good natured ribbing. lol. Thanks again.

It’s satire.

Hey thanks Jerry. It’s all in good fun, and sometimes things get ridiculous on gear forums like The Gear Page. I was hoping people would have a sense of humor. Indeed, if you like it….more to come. Thanks for letting me know 🙏🙏

@@SaintLuminus Well done, sir. Even though I am an unrepentant gear head, a good laugh at myself and the doofy cork sniffery in the community is darn healthy, I’d say.

@@jerryhorton5708 This review CHANGES EVERYTHING!

@@jerryhorton5708 🙏🙏 Thanks Jerry I appreciate it.

Well the video is meant to be good natured ribbing. 😆We guitarists are a funny bunch.

@@SaintLuminus I still have no regrets for my 3 H90's :P

@@BrockDavisson man, I have 2 H90s. One for the front of the amp. One for the stereo effects for post am. I run a stereo rig.

I have the Digitech Ricochet. Great & fun product

Ive been playing for several years and play all kinds of music and see no reason for such an expensive delay with so many crazy options. Just give me a quality sounding simple delay that’s all you need. A lot of people buy these and barely use 3/4 of what it can do such a waste.

@@BkBk-gy6vr Most guys will buy a pedal like this because its brand new and looks cool on their board.

@@BkBk-gy6vr Good thing it's NOT a delay.... lol

@@BrockDavisson oh gee you got me there buddy ok I meant Reverb. Yep your one that wasted your money.

Unless you think Suhr is lying about the fretboard wood. I’m going by what Suhr is stating. In the end, how does the guitar play??? Like a dream 👍🎶

@@SaintLuminus yessir! U actually r very lucky cus i went on reverb and the pau ferro fretboards are usually very light with sometimes a semi dark one. Yours i very dark and it looks very nice and tight. Some ppl say pau ferro tonality is between rosewood and ebony which is very desirable! I love everything bout that Standard u got there!

@@kenny69lover What I can say is that I most definitely love the sound and feel of this guitar. Still finding new sounds on this one. :)

Thank you! Glad it was something you enjoyed. :)

Well I did ask my audience that night to collectively take a ride with me up into the Heavens. Glad you would've come along.

That’s too much eclipse for 1 video 🤪😂😂

Hell Yes! I tried playing this way back when I first started playing guitar. I'm it sounded like ass, but it was so much fun to try and play it! Fantastic tune!

I certainly hope more people want to hear something tasty. What about tasty and fast?????

Claasic mode is the classic Whammy algorithm. Great for single note solos. Chord mode is a modern algorithm from the Whammy DT. Of course its best for raising/lowering the pitch of whole chords. But rules are always meant to be broken. With the Classic Mode, you'll find more artifacts when trying manipulate chords. However you might find the artifacts pleasing. Vice versa, you may find the Chords mode sounds great on single notes.

@@SaintLuminus alright perfect thank you! You just got a new subscriber:)

@@lennoncarroll6805 🙏 Thanks so much, appreciate it. More stuff to come. 👍👍

I Have had this great pedal for more than 3 years and now I found those chord mode... manuals are made to be read! 😮😅

@@javiermg2988 Yeah manuals can provide some good information. We are at a weird point nowadays because most guitarists don't want to read manuals. So most companies are putting out manuals with very little information. Its weird.

Whaaattt? Holy Moly! What a story! Thank you for sharing this gem. I appreciate it. Really I think every single electric guitar player owes a debt of gratitude to Les and Leo Fender.

Thank you, yes I work on smoothing out my playing on a daily basis. Thanks for sharing your story. Yeah this amp can be crazy loud for a room or an apartment.

Most definitely 👍

Absolutely!!! I use it for a divebomb, but also to go up an octave because you generally can’t do that with a whammy bar.

Thank you, I appreciate it 🙏🎸

Oh man. Dying absolutely dying to try one out. 🎸🎶

Thanks for this 👍 I’m very interested in trying one out some day.

Yeah I really think this amp is underrated. Even after all of these years of ownership, I'm still finding new tones. Thank you for watching, appreciate it.

Nice! I’ll have to check that out. 👍

@@SaintLuminus Jan Hammer is there, too, and plays a lot. Carly Simon, also. I think. Everybody played a couple of their own songs, mostly. Jeff Beck and Imelda May do a nice tribute to Les Paul and Mary Ford, on the first half of "Jeff Beck's Rock and Roll Party" video, that you might enjoy.

@@dave-ox2eo OHHHH, i haven't seen that Jeff Beck video either. Damn, I'm missing out. thanks for these recommendations

So I can monitor what I’m playing and still use the mic to talk. I didn’t use a cab in the room
