I agree. I’ve actually switched to the first generation 2x12 combo of this and run it at a pretty low volume. No external cab anymore either. Sometimes I’ll pair it with a fender just to get a little more diversity but not very often.

Not loud enough to gig with

Yeah I quit using this amp a while ago, that speaker cabinet it was ran too was voiced a lot differently too. I found that the amp by itself had too much midrange and presence. Even with the mid and high turned all the way down. I actually switched to the previous generation 100 watt combo. I’ve had much better luck out of it.

I did this video through a Roland 80x on the rectifier model ran through a burgers 4x12. However I’ve actually sort of changed styles of music to a little bit more classic rock so I blend an old fender champ and a peavey valve king, it actually sounds surprisingly good. I’ll have to make a video on it one day.

I think mine made the same noise, I don’t remember as I have actually sold this amp....

Robert Clark my strat is definitely longer. Not a huge difference though.

@@cooper9563 which you more prefer for both clean and dirt, squier stratocaster or this one? I want a more versatile, can play any type of genre perfectly and comfortable... thanks

hafiz marzuki to me a strat is always gonna have a nicer clean tone hands down. But that’s just my personal preference. It also depends on what style music you play. Since I’ve made this video I’ve actually gotten more into country and blues rock, so I’ve picked up my strat a lot more often, but as far as versatility goes, this guitar will pretty much do whatever style music you want it to.

@@cooper9563 thank you. I thought it felt shorter at GC ....I'll stick with my standard but may pick up a Sterling if I can soon. Thanks. Excellent show.

Awesome, I don't use the tremolo enough to justify putting a Floyd on there but I did put some locking tuners on it and had it reset up, plays like a totally new guitar now

He explains it: 1- neck pup, double coil, 2- neck pup, single coil 3- front and back pups, 4, back pup single coil, 5- bridge pup double coil. No other guitar does that.

+Michael Wilson I've had mine for 3 years and the only changes i've made are the pickups. I'd like to have some locking tuners for it eventually, but other than that, no complaints

+Mike van Schravendijk Please watch the whole video before you assume my guitar is out of tune because I really did tune it before I made this video. The whammy bar kills the tuning as it is not a floyd or something nicer. I appreciate your input though.

Yeah mine does that too, I may invest in a locking nut or tuners or something

this is a big problem for you?

+Edwin Martinez Yeah I know, lol I need to go back and do a legit review that wasn't quite so rushed, I don't really have that decent of recording software is why I just did it raw.

You'll get it at least you are aware

+Edwin Martinez Yeah, that camera is horrible about it lol

mark smit Yes, the stock pickups absolutely suck lol I put the dimarzio John Petrucci set in it. They're not the best pickups I've heard, I have a set of Steve Vai evolutions in another guitar and I love them. But honestly I think any pickup would sound pretty decent, this guitar is very versatile with styles of music that can be played on it, thanks for watching!

orlock20 I remember seeing that about the A/B knob. The dampening knob is what was a little different to me, but now that I've had more time to mess with it, I'm starting to understand it a little better

💯 what he said

Chris Thieblot I need to make a video with the amp by it's self for comparison between it and the 4x12

Chris Thieblot That's just how they made it I guess, I just keep a 2 button footswitch in the back and leave it turned on all the time, you can get those for pretty cheap plus a trs cable.

@@cooper9563 Weird I just leave my eq and looper in the fx loop and never had to switch the loop on, they're just on.

Yeah I ended up switching to a vk100 212 after making this video but I did eventually figure out to switch it then unplug the foot switch

Chris Thieblot If you skip to 4:10 it'll tell you where I set it at, thanks for watching!

Cooper Sanvidge Ah. Thanks. You recommend this amp? The Toneking II seems like the jack of all trades.

Chris Thieblot Well I do but be careful, the one in this video actually ran hot on me and ended up blowing a non-replaceable fuse so I had to have it replaced, and when that happened that was the only time that I didn't have had it plugged into a surge protector, so since then I've kept it plugged into a surge protector. As far as the tone though (if this is what you're going for) I'd recommend it, like I said I'm not crazy about the speaker that it comes with just way to bright for me, takes away alot of low end, but the 4x12 that I use is bugera speakers and a wiring (I built the cab myself) and it drives that well, I love how it sounds both clean and dirty.

Cooper Sanvidge I see man. I'll read more about it and which speaker to use.

Chris Thieblot cool

I'd call that a downgrade lol. Tremelo on the sub stays in tune a lot better, and you get some of the same kind of tones and more out of it.

+snapon1993 _ i prefer a squier, i dont really liked this sound

it does very well for what it is. by no means is it a floyd but you can do dive bombs on it if you really wanted to but don't expect to stay perfectly in tune

that's probably all second hand stuff, probably has some seymour duncan pickups or another brand similar to them, I would prefer that kind of hardware over the plastic

Cooper Sanvidge hole*

It's a good choice to buy, I just put some dimarzios in it about a month ago, hopefully (I'm so busy it's hard to find time to make videos) I'll do a review within the next week!

Ahh... Hope sound will great with Dimarzios i will follow up your next review.. Rock guy !!

To be honest with you I have no idea lol. I had it done at a music store and told them I didn't want to hear an ugly noise when it goes back to full tension (aka didn't want the trem hitting the body)

Thanks! Having the dimarzio John Petrucci set of pickups put on it now so I'll do another review as soon as I get it back!

great cant wait to hear it . iv'e bought one for myself in blue for live gigs as a back up guitar im planning on putting some nice seymour duncans in it later .

realkidrage so far I like them, still kind of getting used to them, but they do give the guitar a lot more clarity, not quite as beefy sounding

Idk, it's been a while lol thanks!

That's the rectifier amp model on a Roland Cube 80X

I sure do, I'm actually about to put the John Petrucci set of Dimarzio pickups in it before too much longer, I'll do a review on them too

kkmspm I know I said I would do a review on them 4 months ago and never did, but it's a video that I really want to make, along with a review of the line 6 pod hd 500 and the roland cube 80, just haven't had the time to with my busy work schedule. I will say that the dimarzios are definitely worth buying, they make the difference.
