I think that it’s not worth it to change from one or the other if a guitar already has one. If it has neither then you might pick your favorite here.

⁠@@tweedcouchthanks for the tip man! I have an SG Vibrola with the 61 burstbuckers and always wondered if the custom buckers that come in the custom shop version would be worth it, but now I see its not really the case. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You are welcome

It's a keeper. Thanks

I do love highs but not spikey highs.

Very 80’s

If I shut my eyes I would have sworn it was a Marshall in a stadium.

Agreed. It’s not very metal on its own. Then again it could very well be the player and the settings on the amp.

It's the Boss Turbo Overdrive circuit, it's not a fuzz.

⁠​⁠@@karlsilverone I need to look at that circuit. Although that pedal is not stereo and gets no chorus or delay.

@@tweedcouch I know, I used to have the DM, it's transformed when sat behind the Boss Equalizer, then it is a metal pedal for sure.

@@karlsilveroneI’ll try that out. Thanks for the tip.

If I had one I would have!

The Fender is: V3 T6. Marshall is: P:4 B:6 M:6 T:4 Pre: 2.5 Master: 3.5

Double tasty! Lol

I was playing in my 11x13’ room and was thinking. “Wow! I feel like I’m playing a stadium”. lol Also, you are right. The stereo output would be nice.

@valcrist7428 you can't approach live sound reinforcement the same way you do recording. Guitars with stereo effects just get lost in live setup because very few of the audience are standing in the sweetspot to enjoy an stereo effect as thick as stereo chorus. This is why stereo combos never really took off. When guitars are layered during recording it's typically to give them a thicker sound. Yes they are often panned slightly left n right too but never hard left and hard right with width being the focus. Even 2 separate guitarist in a mix are typically only slightly panned so each side blends. We do the same in a live setup with a single guitarist with micing 2 guitar cabinets, or dual mic'ing a single cabinet. Some guys like to use 2 difference type mics when dual mic'ing a single cab so as add a dash of nuance in the "widening" of the guitars out front but in the mix it would really only be panned 20-30%ish (to Engineers taste) off center each side.

@@Timetofly8888then add the room to the equation and a stereo setup could kill your mix.

@@tweedcouch I think stereo effects have a place, but to use stereo anything in a single guitar tone, other than reverb in most cases, just creates problem once you get it into the real world onstage. Yes some people think one should be able to replicate any recording live but in reality so much more affects the outcome in a live environment vs a controlled studio environment. Also while I love the sound of Distortion with thick stereo chorus next in the signal chain like you could do with alot of Stereo combo's in the 90s, namely the Marshall 8240 , playing on your own they sound great, but try using it with a band and the effect gets completely lost. It's really just a bit gimmicky. Zakk Wylde used think chorus over his distortions excessively during his Ozzy era, very similar in tone to this pedal but at his rig is was only mono as far as ive been told by guys Ive worked with who have toured with him during that era and Black Label Society in the early days.

@@Timetofly8888do you feel like this pedal is best suited for the “bedroom player”? I’d love to try it live but my gigs and applications just don’t lend to it.

Wow. I never thought of that. You are totally right. P

I have a solution to your problem, stop being a know it all , whiney little c**k.

It’s true. I said “that’s close enough” at the beginning. Part of the reason I don’t play the riffs spot on is because of copyright. The other reason is because I didn’t feel the need to sweat perfection. It was more about the pedal and it’s tone. I am sorry that the timing bothers you. I really do mean that.

It’s arena rock in my bedroom!

That is pretty much how it sounds when I play a keyboard… with or without the pedal. Lol🤣🤣

I thought the BB3 was AlNiCo II.

@@tweedcouch Moi aussi et bien Non un 2

@@alainmalo3791 Thanks for the info

@@tweedcouch Peut métre un alnico 4 en aimant .son superbe 👌

I may have to try that next.

Agreed. Lots of factors go into tone.

In a live setting, I’ve found myself lean that way too.

I generally find myself gravitating to the BB over the CB. It does depend on what I’m playing and playing through. What amp do you use?

It’s there but not as bad as you think. Alone I notice it. In a band setting I don’t really. My only issue is the tiny frets. I like more down pressure before touching the fretboard. If I ever did a refret then I’d probably increase the fret wire height.

I’ve owned a number of LP’s and this one is special. I prefer the unpotted pickups. The binding bleed is what it is and not a deal breaker. I play by feel and by ear mostly and this guitar (and most every custom shop I’ve played) gives me a different mojo.

I’ve tried it. It didn’t rattle and felt more slinky. I noticed no tone difference though. I need to try raising the tail piece and stringing it the original way again. I’ll bet it would feel more slinky and sound the same.

In more ways than some would like to admit.

Thank you for sharing! I like Gibson pickups a lot… but I LOVE my Marshall. Lol🤣

Thanks! It really is a great guitar. At any price point, a guitar that is great will conjure some nice riffs.

I have never tried this guitar with the original bridge. Maybe I need to put that back on with the next string change.

@@tweedcouch I say, let your ears and your soul decide. 👍

@@dansmusic5749 SOLID ADVICE! One that people often forget.

I can see that. Thanks for chiming in.

Thanks for the kind words and your opinion. Cheers!

@@tweedcouch You are most welcome, I really enjoyed you videos. Love and respect, to all kind amerians, from Iran (Persia). Peace.

The neck is thinner. It is also narrower. The strings have a smaller gauge. So yes it is “easier to play” in the sense that you can press and make chords but because of the narrowness the strings are closer together. This. Makes for some difficulty. I think the Danelectro electric 12 is easier to play in the sense of making chords with less fumbling.

@@tweedcouch thank you..!!

@@eddievalentino6430happy to be helpful.

More frustrating to tune. Lol

@@tweedcouch I went to Carter Guitars here in Nashville to try them out because I always wanted one. It's very hard to play. I have the MIJ Stratocaster XII and it's so much more comfortable.

@@seanmiller7187 I want the Danelectro 12 string. It plays easy and sounds great.

@@tweedcouch The lipstick pickups sound great. The other question is why do Rick 12 strings come with 6 saddles, but sell a 12 saddle bridge as an extra? Why don't the put the 12 saddle bridge on the 12 string as a stock part? Makes no sense!

@@seanmiller7187 The 12 string saddle is aftermarket. In 1964 they didn't have the 12 string saddle yet.

Volume will make a difference. So will the placement in relation to the amp. That said, these are unpotted which will increase the amount of potential harmonic feedback.

Try a set of ToneRider pickups . $100 bucks .

Love distortion from the power tubes!

Glad to hear! Thanks for the comment

Even closer in the mix

Great comment. I prefer it that way too. For some reason, checking is different to me.

Maybe that’s the next video needed. Lol

@@tweedcouch Author, you are really great ！

I love the BB for that big clean to mean sound. The CB are more for breakup to rock overdrive. At least for me and what I play.

@@tweedcouch Really, a matter of taste. Custombucker is PAF, BB3 is not.

Not sure how much plasticizer they use now. It feels less plastic than the usual Gibson finish. I have played a real 59 Junior and a real 57 gold top and the finish does seem newer on the R9 but that would make sense since it is new. The bleed does seem to be more than anything I’ve seen on a real 59 too.

I love how they cut in a mix. Thanks for sharing

Very true. Also nice to have something that inspires you to practice.

@@tweedcouchso true, i want one too! ❤️ didn't imply you can't play just to be sure!!

@@tucki666 Not taken that way at all. I completely agree... practice > gear.

Rock on!

You're welcome! Enjoy that beaut!

@@tweedcouch I actually meant V64. But you knew that. Thanks again!

@@tweedcouch Extra nerd info: My V64 was supposed to be just like the guitar they gave George Harrison and that one was NOT wired for Rick-O-Sound. Both outputs are just the regular mono. So It was especially hilarious that when I opened my case (mine was made in 2000 but I bought it about 2016) it had an unused Rick-O-Sound box and cable in it. I have since used the box on my 1995 381V69. It sounds great through two '68 Deluxe Reverbs.

@@brianbogle5050 My mind totally translated it that way without thinking.🤣lol

@@brianbogle5050 Great story. Thanks for sharing. I never knew that George's was didn't have the Rick-o-sound.

All true statements. Even with everything at 10. I’ll also add that the tolerance of the caps and the range of the pots… 500k pot doesn’t always mean 500k

I hear the same. Thanks for commenting.

This is a perfect example of how tone is subjective. The CB’s sound glorious!

@@tweedcouch Yeah, so full and beautiful. I understand that burstbuckers could cut through a mix. But I'm a humble bedroom guitarist, so I don't need no cut.

@@thomascleveland I could not love this comment more. You truly understand what music and guitar is all about.

Me too - so much smoother & richer!

It's pretty much subjective I'd say, and the music you'll play well most likely lead you to choose the best one for your needs. I personally like both, also can't find huge differences. I mean, to have a different sound I would pick something drastically different. BTW awesome video, pretty much appreciated!

I tend to gravitate to snappy. How about you?

The glories of a 12 string!

It’s a house “secret sauce”. 🤫
