Bro you’re like the 100th person to tell me this, I’m grabbing one asap. Thank you.

@jordansguitarchannel3809 I've had both the 81 and 85 in the bridge position in my 1993 Soloist. The 85 has alot more natural mid range and body than the 81. Just my experience.

I’ve actually been looking for a deal on one. I love the 81, but it would be nice to change to something else as well. I’ve been doing some work on my E-II to make it the ultimate metal machine.

Lol. I believe you man, I fixed the LTD finally. It plays great, but not as great as my 2k E-II. Haha

I appreciate it man, it’s actually mic’d up in this video. Not sure why it’s so compressed.

No problem, man! Glad I could help.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 It is nice to find friendly and passionate people in this guitar community who are willing to put themselves out there to lend a helping hand. Thanks brother.

You’re welcome brother. I’m here for the community man, we should all be looking out for each other and helping others grow on this journey.

Honestly, I’d love to be surprised by a perfectly setup guitar out of the box. That’s like Christmas.

I’m sorry to hear man, I know the old school stuff I feel was built tougher. The stuff I used and abused for shows never had issues, even had a few beers spilled on it. 😂

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 Ya thanks man, sorry to hear this has happened to you as well ,is there anyway you can get it fixed with the warranty ? Well i guess once in a while we will all have some problem's with lemon's parts LOL !

Yeah you can get it fixed with warranty. Mine had a two year warranty I wanna say, hard to keep up with everything like that.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 I did have a 5 year warranty and i had two years left when it happened but i was kinda hesitance too do it cause i always think something will come back worse if you know what i mean !

Bro I get it, and sadly been there. My EL34 had to get the effects loop fixed came back better somehow, stronger and meaner. Guess someone up there like me. Haha

SS frets are definitely harder to work with than nickel, and it takes about twice the effort, therefore twice the cost to produce guitars with them. You can crown them, but it takes some patience and good fret files. I had to do this on my Solar guitar, just some frets were sharp.

Hey thanks man, I appreciate that. The blackouts have a ton of output man, it doesn’t take much for them to overdrive the amp. Haven’t tried Micks set, but I’m sure they’re tailored to be responsive and clear for super low end. He actually went to Fishman, and has a signature set that just came out.

I appreciate the honesty man, just skip past the intro then.

Ouch man.

Personally, I’d be saving money to live somewhere nicer. Maybe consult Tarzan about an insulated tree house?

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I’d be interested to hear your opinion man, keep me posted!

@jordansguitarchannel3809 as I can tell u are dead right I Def will bro I appreciate the info I'll be in touch forsure

2 were, but described as perfect condition and one was brand new. Another I bought used and it’s perfect.

That’s awesome man. Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to look into that!

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 The device I’m talking about is called The ABYss

Thanks brother!

Sadly no, I wish man. I did find some awesome info about this amp relating to it though. Stay tuned for the full review!

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 Yeah I’ve never played a Rev. I played a full sized ‘Stein for a few minutes one time at a local shop. Years ago I found and picked up on eBay a little 20watt Krankenstein Jr lunchbox head and it’s a pretty sick little thing. I’m a tinkerer and had that little amp apart one day looking at it and based on some PCB markings they seem like basically the same-ish amps as certain resistor and cap locations were marked “Kstein” and “Rev”. Im curious as to how different those two amps are. 🤘

I imagine they’re not a ton different. On this Rev I’m easily able to get that Damage Plan tone. In the video I’m gonna get into some research I’ve been doing about its relation to Dime. Just making sure I have my facts straight before I go on video.

Yikes. I’m sorry to hear man. Sadly there’s a lot of things going on like that. I hear about it just about everyday. Honestly setups are always gonna need to be done with just about any guitar, even some premium guitars as well.

Thanks for the input man. I was beginning to think I was crazy troubleshooting this amp and effects loop. This setup I’m using has worked with Engl, Diezel, EVH, Blackstar, and Krank among others but not with the Mesa. I’m beginning to believe they need to do a simple serial loop, no knobs just return and send.

quick update Jordan... tried the tc sentry and I am really impressed. I pulled out the triple rec to play some Cannibal Corpse stuff/ metal zone boosting a triple. Put a new sentry in front of the amp and dead quiet with gain on amp 90%. I will probably get a couple more of these for all of my boards...

Thanks for the update man, I’ll have to grab one. 🤘

Thanks man, it is running 4cm already. Doing some research it appears this amp only likes certain gates.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 Yeah I saw the comments on the Mesa page. The NS2 is terrible. Lots of tone suck with that one. I’d say try a TC Sentry if you’re looking at a new gate or the Fortin Zuul plus.

I appreciate that man. Into the tone lab I go.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 You’ll get there. I have a sentry if you want to try it. I could ship it to you.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I’ll definitely let you know.

Sorry to hear about your experience, unfortunately you’re not alone with the issues. I’d definitely be going to a shop and try one out in person.

Same here man, I’ve been playing them for over twenty years.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve personally found guitars really get good around the 2k mark, about the point where QC is taken seriously

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 makes sense - most of the ones i’ve played and owned were 400-1200

Awesome man. Fishmans ain’t no joke either, keep rocking bro 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thanks man! I love this guitar, it’s been perfect right out of the case. I’d have to guess it’s around 7 to 7 and a half pounds, it does a slight bit of neck dive which I’ve corrected with using a leather strap. I believe it’s just the standard Viper, and from the serial it was made in 2021.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 right on. Thanks for the info! I dig your vids. I also am the stoked owner of a fireball 100 and the evh 5150 iii but I have the stealth 6L6 instead of the EL34. Keep up the great content. 🤘

Thanks man! Nice gear choice my brother, got some cool new gear about to be on the channel too! 🤘🤘

Absolutely man, it’s a great pickup and with all the advancements now in pedals and amps this should be a more popular pickup in today’s age. Amazing YT handle btw, sounds like a flatulent superhero.

Not yet, I’ve heard it sounds awesome though. I’m looking at some different pickups to bring to the channel actually, that’s added to the list.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I really dig the older LTDs, I have an early 7 string in my collection that’s perfect. The guitar is great now, but it took a lot of work to get it there.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 I'm not surprised as to why you're done with LTD's. Expectations are very high especially with a name like Josh Middleton attached to a guitar and also the ESP name just oozes quality and it's the same reason why bands like Metallica have been playing them for 40 years. Just because LTD's are mass produced and made outside of Japan, shouldn't really mean much in the way of quality. I've only ever owned old LTD's, but hearing shit like that just makes me real hesitant in buying a brand new guitar in 2024. Pretty sad that quality has gone to shit and I'd rather own an 80's Jackson or BC Rich out of the new stuff that's being produced. But yea I don't think a regular JM-2 model would typically come with so many faults. But it did and that's really shit on you.

Bro stay tuned to my channel man. I personally wouldn’t buy a new guitar unless it was an ESP or E-II, and even then I’m a bit hesitant. Honestly you can find some used E-II that are the same price yet better quality than LTD. I do this channel built on honesty man, I’m about to drop some shocking stuff.

Yes this was one was a demo. It’s been overhauled now and after some work and months it’s actually a pretty nice axe.

@jordansguitarchannel3809 glad u got it resolved. The demos I got would always need some work. Have a nice day!

Thanks brother, you as well!

Hey man thanks for watching. For home use I’d definitely recommend the combo, it does have an attenuation dial and does get super quiet. It also has a headphone jack on the back for silent use. This combo also has nice reverb that actually sounds good as well. A full video is coming of this btw. Stay tuned!

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 Awesome to know! Thanks for the information! I watched an older video where an EVH representative explained how the reverb on the combo has a very tiny sprinkle of chorus on it. To me that sounds good, because I personally think that a hint of chorus will always make clean tone sound more interesting and gives it a lil bit of extra depth. I will probably order the EL34 2x12 combo. My only gripe is that it weighs 90lbs! Getting it serviced when the tubes eventually fail will be a lot more challenging, compared to a regular head.

It definitely sounds good man, and the weight is kinda crazy. It’s totally doable to pack in into the box and move it. I repacked mine when I moved a few years back, if nothing else it’s great exercise.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I was able to fix the issues thankfully, I play it a lot now. It’s actually gonna be in the next video, stay tuned. 🤘

Muchas Gracias!! 🤘🤘

Why no, good sir. Whatever do you mean?

What’s the scale length?

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 have two a Schecter with 26.5 and a carvin with 25.5

I would go with something like Stringjoy 11-70 or 11-74 to give you the proper tension to start. Then simply raise the bridge slightly to eliminate any buzz, that should give you what you’re looking for. Also important is to keep an eye on the neck with super heavy strings, the extra tension can cause it to move.

Hell yeah! 🤘

reverb.com/item/82691665-maxon-od-808x-extreme-overdrive-2010s-red? this is one is used for 89 bucks with free shipping. Hope this helps!

You can also try a Boss Sd-1, new they’re like 60 something dollars. It comes close to the Maxon.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 appreciate it bro, I moved to a different country so certain things are considered expensive now, I’ll look into the boss

Oh I see. Hopefully the Boss works out for you man, wish I could help more.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 actually you helped me a lot because I came across the os2, people apparently talk trash bout it but the dude from converge used it back in the day and they are super cheap

Awesome. I’m glad I could help! 🤘

Hell yeah brother. That pedal stays on my board. 🤘

Thanks Bro! 🤘🤘

Bless you, and thank you. I really needed that.

Haha, I can use your rent money to buy even more cool gear!!

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 haha the VA pays me well enough for rent and gear, so it's a win

I guess so bro. Glad yours is nice man.

Krank it up! Blow it up!

It’s coming soon, stay tuned my brother!!🤘🤘

Right on man, thank you. I highly recommend picking one up if you find one, they’re pretty rare.

Awesome man!! I believe you’ll be very happy with this amp, it’s so brutal.

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 I have a marshall dsl-100 but it wasn't a metal amp and needs a boost, this seems like a perfect upgrade.

You can absolutely run this with no boost, plus the noise gate on the amp is killer.

Yeah man no problem. You can definitely run just one gate as your pedal board is connected straight to the pedal, and switches with whatever amp you choose. I’m gonna link the manual for you to check out because I don’t actually know about the wattage deal. I was running a 100w head and a 50 watt head with no issues. Hope this helps, any other questions feel free to ask! mesa-boogie.imgix.net/media/User%20Manuals/070552-HeadTrack-web.pdf

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 thank you so much!

You’re welcome!

Thanks Bro!!

Bro I get it, and I say do it. I love my Les Paul but choose the Eclipse over it every single time.

Thanks I appreciate it. Honestly I just used it because the manufacturer states you can, and it’s a cool sound. Stay tuned I’m working on something like that.

Hey thanks bro, I really appreciate it. Glad it helped you, stay tuned for more my friend.
