Alessandro AZZ - The Demo
Firstly - apologies about the sub-optimal sound. I used a little shotgun mic and set it as high as it would go without clipping, but it still sounds a bit pants. I'll use proper recording setups again in future...
Secondly, the only real way to really get an idea of how this amp sounds is to play it. Its immediacy and clarity, especially in the high end is something you can only get from playing it.
Many thanks to Jake!

By popular demand, here is a comparison between the 1/83 John Cruz Masterbuilt BLK1 and the NOS Fender BLK1. At the end of the video, I do a blind test between the two BLK1 guitars and a 2021 Silver Sky. I've made them sound as close as I can on purpose, can YOU tell the difference when they're EQ'ed similar? Put your predictions in the comments, reveal video out Monday next week, link below! r...

Quick little cover of the first solo in Estranged. This has to be my favourite Guns 'n' Roses solo, even if most people don't think it's even the best solo in this song! Something so iconic about Slash playing this solo on a treadmill going down the street!
John Mayer's Clean Boosts! Comparing Keeley, JHS, Xotic and Solodallas. PLUS, whats with the Euna?
Просмотров 19 тыс.3 года назад
Heres a comparison of the 4 main clean boosts that John Mayer has used through his career. Most of the time, its been the Keeley Katana, but recently he's been seen more with the Prestige and Super Clean. 2019 also saw the Solodallas Storm on his board a lot, so I put that in as well (although it did seem to replace the Klon on his board at the time.) I also wanted to talk about the Euna, and w...

Thought I'd film a quick cover of But, Honestly. Managed to get tracks for the Acoustic (I used a sim), the main rhythm guitar, second rhythm guitar and the lead. I'm not very good (at all) at mastering or finding complimentary guitar tones yet, but I'll get there! What I didn't get is Drums or Bass.... If you want to lay down tracks for these over it, let me know!

Просмотров 36 тыс.3 года назад
Comparing the tones of a 2018 and 2021 Silver Sky. There have been a number of documented differences between the current models and earlier models. Clearly this is a guitar that PRS and John Mayer plan on improving more and more as time passes, which is brilliant! My good friend Tommy is the absolute expert at documenting Silver Sky changes, especially pickups, so give him a follow: instagram....

John Mayer's "Second Overdrive" - Keeley BD-2/Bluesbreaker/Klon/Storm Comparison!
Просмотров 118 тыс.3 года назад
John Mayer has used two overdrives for decades. The first is almost always a Tubescreamer, but the second? Well, it's changed a lot. On the Trio tour it was the Keeley modded Boss BD-2, then for WTLI he used the Marshall Bluesbreaker MkI, then from 2010 onwards he's used the Klon, with periods in 2019/2021 where he used the SoloDallas Storm. Here I've done a little comparison of these pedals. I...

    Is this pedal the same as The Schaffer Replica® - Storm on their website? It looks very different now or is it discontinued?

  • @adamcoe
    @adamcoe 2 часа назад

    The tiny differences between pedals could easily be evened out with very slight EQ or gain moves. They all sound good and certainly no one is ever going to be able to tell without hearing them back to back. Even other guitars players are not going to hear the differences. Buy the one you like or get a good deal on. I happen to have the JHS but I wouldn't be unhappy with any of these.

    Interesting video but not done correctly, for some reason you can see you hit the strings much harder on the 2018, i wonder why you do that? but it does effect the sound big time ! I have compared a 2018 and 2023 myself and there is very little difference or no difference at all in the pickups if you have the same PU hight, same strings and same playing, same pick etc. There is little difference in the neck shape and I prefer the 2018 but thats very personal. other then that guitars are very much the same, both very, very good guitars

    Keep working on your vibrato - make it like Johns. Smooth, in tune (bends) and in time with the music. Takes lots of playing and practicing with a looper or some real music.

    Hi, super interesting video. Do you have the dc resistance readings of the black1's pickups? It seems that they are nowhere to be found, even though it is so easy to measure them wothout doing anything to the guitar.

  • @stratolestele7611
    @stratolestele7611 6 месяцев назад

    Wait, ALL THAT TIME to develop the Sky, and it still requires 'improvements'? They're just having to change the guitar to suit beginners and amateurs (sorry, but that's my opinion) who aren't schooled in eq'ing to taste and just run amp at low volume, tone at noon, and guitar wide-open. It also stimulates guitar sales. All the manufacturers have to do it; "new and improved". How many times has a manufacturer ruined a good thing? I don't own a Silver Sky, but I own a ton of Strats from lots of gens and different pickups and tone controls. They don't always get better.

And also your playing is stellar! Dont sell yourself short, was perfect!

    Oh, man. It really sucks to be poor. Saved up for 4 years just to now find out I can no longer buy the one with the original pickups unless in the used market. Man the 2018 sounded SO awesome, and thick, and rich in overtones. The new pickups just sounds like a regular low output strat. Nothing special anymore.

    Imho, The bridge saddle for intonation is setup differently. It will produce slightly different sound in certain string. I think 2021 setup is the standard and 2018 isn't. I bet the lower E string in 2018 is louder and more treble than 2021. You had to measure the same pickup height to achieve comparable result. Cmiiw.

    Nice comparison. Most videos about John Mayer's tone just throw some pedals which he used on stage and affirm the tone is there. You, on the other hand, show the tone happening. The 50% volume part is also great. I have a Waza Craft Blues Driver and really don't know what to do with that pedal. Recently I discovered Mooer Blues Crab which is a decent copy in some aspects, but not the real thing, it lacks some dynamics perhaps. Dumble-style pedals are also interesting for getting JM's tone. I have a pedal called "Dumbler", which replicates some Dumble preamp features and shares similarities with Blues Breaker tone-wise. Is Blues Breaker the first Dumble-style pedal, although the manufacturer intended to make a Marshall Bluesbreaker emulation?
