I forgot to mention in my first comment, I also like Conrad Schenk's playing very much. Interesting note choices, nice touch, and very tasteful. I would like to see you have him on your show more often!

[@Biblrocks]

So fantastic to hear your playing and breaking down the various amps and pedals that you use. Love the conversational vibe of these videos. I play/gig my Friedman Smallbox 50 and I love the "Plexi" channel with overdrive pedals in front. My favorite is the Friedman "OD Deluxe" in front of the Plexi channel through a 4x12 with Greenback speakers...

[@Biblrocks]

thanks 🤘🏼

[@xchump]

That clean(ish) sound in the beginning was amazing. Sounds SRV like maybe even.

[@Biblrocks]

thanks🥃

[@michaelgarrettweber438]

Love the show, those are some Great amps! I'm more of a traditional player myself I have a Friedman BE-100 that Dave modified for me, love the KOT & Phase 90 script.
as for power tubes EL34 EH have worked out great for live & studio sessions. Old school rack TC Electronic G-Force through loop, pedals front of amps. Also love SLO's.......
from Hendrix to Di Meola, Holdsworth, Blackmore, Schenker, SRV, Moore, Beck. Great Show!

[@Biblrocks]

thanks ! 🥃

I would love to play guitar with these guys and knock back a few beers.

I’m going to be subscribing because both of your are outstanding guitarists who still remain humble. I’m so happy to hear how great this show sounded because I own a Friedman Smallbox and I love to hear different players can sound through it. I laughed out loud when I heard one of you say” I need any pedal I can get”! Yeah sure, the fantastic playing that followed didn’t sound like you needed any effects at all.Anyways, I love the playing and I like your personalities a lot so cheers, I gotta go subscribe!

[@Biblrocks]

thanks a lot 🥃

I don't like my guitarists humble. What is it with our pussified culture?!

[@user-dr8ug3gs3c]

@@Jay-sy5yf I don't think you understand the definition of humble. It's when you don't have your nose stuck up your own a$$.

[@zafira976]

Hi guys! The El34's and 84's are pentodes while the KT66's, KT77's are Beam Tetrodes. There are tonal differences as the way the tubes operate is different too. The pentodes have got more gain and the tetrodes sound a bit cleaner. In terms of the difference between a larger valve to a smaller one is that the smaller valve needs less power to break up while the large valve has got more headroom and needs to be driven harder to break up. As a consequence of this, the smaller valve will break up a lot easier (earlier) and give you a much sweeter overdrive tone. For example a KT88 would break up hard and therefore produces a harsher gain, while something very small like a EL84 breaks up very early and sounds really sweet. This is one of the reasons the gain of an AC30 sounds as sweet as it does. I hope this helps! All the best

Well done!

[@johnbarber3499]

Euro Tube E34L's for power tubes, and Electro Harmonics 12AX7's, seems to work for me in 50 watt.

[@Biblrocks]

sounds good, i think any new tubes will do the job.
cheers

I love my smallbox. Great video!

Great playing and sounds again - I always look forward to your live sessions + and there is a lot to learn about setting up the amps and combining them with pedals - you guys are not faking it - thats imho what I call authentic without filter - Now to another thing - I can't find a link to order you T-shirts, pleas include it in your next upload.

[@Biblrocks]

[@DRRIFF666]

@@Biblrocks much appreciated, sounds fabulous.

[@robertolsen9721]

As of tubes its EL84 in my little Laney Iommi 15 watt and a guy at the local musicstore said they lack of low end, I really don't know about that in general. It can be a issue just with my amp.

[@Biblrocks]

for the 15 watt amp the 84 are ok.
cheers

[@steverherb]

All the 20-watt Friedman amps have EL84's and they sound kickass

[@stevegough9798]

Love your playing guys, were you playing through a cab or a computer and I guess no noise gate? Have fun.

[@Biblrocks]

thanks, we always use one cab with mike and one reactive load from suhr.

Man, that Smallbox sounds thick as a juicy steak. Great tones and very tasty licks!

That white strat is cool, what is it? Fender custom shop or an old vintage strat?

that‘s a 63

[@Biblrocks]

i use andrew marzukiewicz „drunk wound“, he is great !

[@gph2193]

Depends on the amp. Had a 50 watt VHT Pittbull with two EL84's. That was a very loud 50 watts. Good amp but finicky.
