@@mitchwessell2167 but I'd miss that tele pickup 😜 I would like to have a tele with a Firebird pickup in the neck though.

@@wesbresee I think one should never try to sound like someone else, but in search of what makes your favorite tones so good, you can find your own sound. Personally I favor Marshall plexis, but if you give me a Deluxe Reverb, I'd still try to dial in a sound that me, and I would sound like me... but still different. If Billy Gibbons sounded the same through every amp, he could've just as well play a Line 6 Spider.

@@Gaslight.Guitar Thanks, and a Guten Rutsch to you too! I made a video on that Esquire last October, so it will be there soon. But I'll share some more on it in a video upcoming Saturday.

@ danke:) ich freue mich drauf. Bis dann!

@@MikelBluni thanks! And sometimes I also can't hide my affection for movies 😜

@@djb3545 it had the latest update when I got it.

@ it may have still had the bright cap and just had the reverb fixed. Either way nice video

@djb3545 thanks! And I checked if the bright cap was off, because I was kind of disappointed with it, but it was off for sure. But it seems more like a "me problem", since a lot of people do like this amp.

@@braddorman4709 yeah I didn't hide that one well in the video and especially not in the thumbnail 😅 I got it just a few days before Christmas and then I got sinusitis, so most of the time I've been feeling to ill to actually play it. Hope to really put it to the test sometime soon and make a video once I actually feel better, but I'm sure it's great. So far I know that it takes pedals better than any amp I've ever tried and has the best working master volume I've ever tried. So that takes it a long way!

@@StevenAnthonyGuitarthinking about taking a chance on a Z and the wreck and z28 are both contenders. I don’t have anything British flavored today, but the Z28 seems like a improved fender/American voice

@braddorman4709 what do you need it for? British voiced I'd go for the Z-Wreck for sure. So far the Z28 is more like a blank slate that can do a lot, but the Z-Wreck Jr. does a specific thing really well.

@ looking for an different voice for gigging. I play big clean Fenders today but rarely play squeaky clean so without gain/master I have always on pedals. I know they are both completely different voices but both can do great (but different) edge of breakup / light crunch tones.

@@braddorman4709 I think the Z-Wreck Jr. would be more different from what you've already got. But you can wait until my video for the Z28 MKII drops and decide yourself. I obviously have more mileage on the Z-Wreck Jr. and it has been one of my favorite amps for a while.

@@MorryMols do you mean the newly acquired drummer that had to be nagged into bringing a hi-hat stand? 😄

@@StevenAnthonyGuitar Yes that one! 🤣

@@John-xd6ns which one of the two? Marshalls aren't a secret with me 😜

@@StevenAnthonyGuitar Yes, not really a secret but still a weapon lol, I'm partial to the 1987X .

@@John-xd6ns a weapon indeed, often my weapon of choice! Finally got a 1959HW too, but that's a video for next year ;)

@@MarchalisVan not a bad idea. I find that a lot of fuzz-circuits can easily get you lost in the mix. Probably the reason I prefer Tonebenders, as they work well through dirty amps.

@@poornoodle9851 thanks!

@@Nightwing690 from his recorded sounds, I love the first three records, Fandango and Deguello. Live he sounds great the last ten years, as in this video.

@@andyvoss5674 thanks!

@@ykdickybill of course. But those fingers will sound different whether you're playing a Roland Blues Cube or a Magnatone.

@@newyeareves I've used it with Greenbacks, as I use anything with some kind of variation of that speaker. As far as I know their own Celestions are a tweaked V30, and I really don't like those. Maybe the tubes might've been the issue for me. I can see all the potential of the Hot Cat, but neither me nor the amp I got where able to use it to it's best I think.

@@t.sewell1513 technically speaking, I think I could do that as well. Wouldn't be a good tone though. A different shade of brown sound probably.

@ lol

@@Sep45 if by small box 50 you mean my 1987X, ooph, that's a tough call!

@@StevenAnthonyGuitar ohh sorry, I was thinking you had a Friedman sb 50. That 1987x has to be pretty killer too.

@@Sep45 they both are killer. The Z-Wreck Jr. is of course more practical and versatile. It can actually get very close to the sound of the 1987x. But for that specific sound, that Marshall sound, you obviously need the Marshall. Both great amps for different things.

@@ragingchimera8021 oh! So that's why he just plays an old Line 6 Spider!

@@roberthoffman4587 I liked it in E-flat tuning with a Duesenberg Les Trem on it. You might give that a try 🙂

@@Whatabeautifulday123 haven't tried that one yet. Thought the Hot Cat sounded great in Pete Thorn's video, but yeah, he's Pete Thorn.

@@-Atmos1 I played an older Cub a few years ago and really liked it, but it wasn't a guitar with a lot gain. The Hot Cat is cool if you can deal with the knobs, channels and if you can find one without issues.

@@StevenAnthonyGuitar I edited my comment when you said the amp ha issues .

@@-Atmos1 I mean, it can happen with any amp. Bad Cat suspected an issue, Thomann said nothing was wrong with the amp. That's where it starts to bother me.

@@Santaheckler it really is! And it's a cool pedal. I'm not an overdrive pedal guy, but this one always bring some extra flavour when you need it.

@ I saw a video with Billy Gibbons where he said he gets his sound from a Boss EQ pedal and pushes the 400 all the way up. I tried it but I didn’t sound like him…🤷‍♂️

@Santaheckler to my knowledge he also creates a lot of myth himself, just to have some fun.

@@HEZ63 yeah I really dug the SV20, until I did this comparison. The 1987X felt and sounded so much better to me. I've got videos on the 1959HW coming as well. Like the latter ones equally I think, but they work well for different things to me.

@@peterreeves6825 I finally got to see him with ZZ Top too this summer. A little short, but he played great! And I could get his whole rig and still not sound like him, although the rig would still sound awesome 😉

@@xcx8646 thanks for the advice. I'm not really concerned about speed though. There's a lot 'wrong' about my technique anyways 😉

@@StevenAnthonyGuitar Speed =/= shred. It's necessary to have in the toolkit when necessary. Otherwise playing is very one-dimensional.

@xcx8646 I'll never need the tools for shred, no one's going to hire me for that 😉

@@StevenAnthonyGuitar Again, speed =/= shred. A player who is _never_ able to utilise a burst of speed sounds leaden and one-dimensional. 99.9% of players, in any genre, who are any good are able to use speed when the music calls for it - as most music does on occasion, even if only as a flourish lasting half a bar. The one thing that everyone who says they aren't worried about speed has in common is a glaring problem with their technique that literally prevents them from playing fast. There is a reason why the advice is overwhelming to hold the pick a certain way. Not doing so is just a bad habit that should be un-learned. Get used to holding the pick in a more orthodox manner and playing from the wrist and speed is actually pretty easy. You just have an ingrained bad habit.

@@xcx8646 do you go around on RUclips to give guitar players unsolicited advice, or am I just the lucky one?

@@danawakes2001 thanks! I couldn't say, I shot this video a year ago and I have no extended scale necks. I would ask Reunion Blues about this if you need a double soft case, as I think theirs was better.

@@nicholassaridakis381 I did for the day that I had it. Couldn't find the culprit and I don't want to have to bring a new guitar to my luthier just to make it feel and sound like it should. Looking to try another Gretsch again soon though, this one might've been a lemon.

@@BeGoodBe haha, I wish I could actually play like Page! I would even settle for 50% 😉

@StevenAnthonyGuitar It's about the feel and the look. The long arms are part of that style lol.

@@guitarthink thanks! And I agree, to me the Z-Wreck Jr. felt and sounded much better regardless of what I played. The Morgan was sold quickly after that 😉

@@jamiemorgan4146 they are better for sure, but the one I tried compared to my USA wasn't significantly better enough to justify the purchase.

@@guitarizt68 as a non-American, both are correct: quillbot.com/blog/frequently-asked-questions/is-it-skeptic-or-sceptic/

@@tal_175 so what are you doing with your music?

By the way, have you even watched the video? I counted one power chord in over 11 minutes of runtime. There's an open tuned guitar half of the time, why would I play power chords? I'll be the last one claiming I'm more than an average guitarist, but luckily I also get to write music, produce, record and gig with bands and so on. If you don't like what I do, there's really no need to act like a douche. And if you're critical about my playing, at least make sure to showcase your own talent on your channel :)

@@aepoc66 thanks! I also got the Del-Verb last summer and I've noticed that the app cashes less often, but still too much.

@@OniDasAlagoas Classic 57s are actually a bit darker. The 61 Burstbuckers in mine shouldn't be that dark, so I lowered the neck pickup and that helped. If you'd want to swap pickups, I could recommend Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers or Antiquities.

@@conartist267 if you can still hear it after RUclips's audio processing, there's clearly a difference though. But with these things you experience the biggest difference comparing them yourself. The Gibson feels and responds better.

@ I think it should for 10 times the price, but it doesn’t sound 10 times better. I love my epi.

@@conartist267 it was less than four times the price, not ten. And Epiphones are great as well, yet I prefer a Gibson because it looks and plays better, which makes me sound better 😉

@@davidkerr1971 thanks! Yeah, that Les Paul is special, but I have to say that the Baroness really shines in a live context.

@karlodomazet6610 I used to have one a few years ago and it was cool.

@@PreacherAtArrakeen I didn't care for the one I played that much, although with the price increase of other guitars like Epiphone and Eastman like you mentioned, these could be more interesting... as long as they don't raise their prices also.

@@CatharticGuitar me too! I wish I would've been able to get one back then.

The Wazas are no good, thet are all cheap smt circuits that are impossible to fix or mod when they break also all smt have a higher frequency to the tone. The wazacraft also have awful buffers, they are better than some boss buffers but sill not premium. I love Boss but a waza is not even as good as an old through hole pedal, it's also good that people don't realise this though.

@@CatharticGuitar thanks! And I agree, fuzz is awesome!

@@biblestudynetwork2949 I did. I ended up getting another Standard 60s, did some upgrades and ended up liking it even better than my old one.
