You’re a natural storyteller. Good gift to have. Of course you also have a lot of good insights on the guitar world and I don’t mean to ignore that aspect.
Proof that if you can be a captivating storyline teller, you can have a scaling RUclips channel of over 200,000 subs going to the moon and very little playing and very little demo’ing. Well done brother! I’ve been subbed and a fan! You are crushing it
Sir, I started learning guitar in 1968. I was on the road for most of the 70's and 80'S. I recently discovered your channel. Just want to say how much i enjoy your videos. You are a wonderful player. In one of your videos you felt some frustration about your progress, well I've felt that way many times.But then out of nowhere I get inspired and it's all fresh again. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your videos. John Williford La Grange Texas
Stories! Sprouting from the gray matter...forming clouds of inspiration & exhilaration...leaving only sprouting vines of truth. You reveal the truth in the form of inspiring tales, Mike. ...And, your glasses are cool as well 🙂
Thats awesome you got to see the production Myles Kennedy guitar upclose before it was announced. I got see Myles playing the prototypes live last March at the Kansas City show on Alter Bridge's Pawns and Kings tour.
Keep doing what you are doing. Your videos are consistently awesome and I was shocked to just notice you have "only" 200k subscribers. That will change soon.
Agree. I bought a ReVolt about 4-5 months ago and really like it, but I never got around to making a video on it. I still prefer my Synergy version of those 3 amps, as those have much more headroom and clarity, but the ReVolt is a great value and sounds very good, and as you said it’s super simple.
I’ve been using a Milkman 100 and like you love it every time I plug in. A preamp tube and 100 watt class D amp with a wonderful cabinet sim (creamback style). One amp style: Fender. It’s a hybrid solution for using a cabinet (a 1x12 neo-creamback!) or going direct, which I now do at gigs. Not as juicy as tube amp but a great tight low end. Until now I’ve struggled with finding a truly great, beautiful clean tone. Takes pedals well but I’ve been fine tuning the grain structure. It’s a little different animal. And I’m done with maintaining tubes amps except for my favorite, modded Blues Junior. Love your storytelling!
As a former Sweetwater Sales Engineer, I think you’re one of the best “employees” they have. In fact, whenever Mitch Gallagher retires, I hope they offer you his job.
I discovered the Behringer Tube Amp Modeller which I feel is overlooked. It does the Marshall, Fender and a Mesa Boogie. I suppose it's closer to the SansAmp than anything. You can select the clean or dirty channels and mike positions. For the price (like 25/30 bucks) it's a steal. I was so impressed I bought another one just so I could switch faster between Marshall and Mesa being mostly a blues/rock player. If you're on a budget and not sure about the whole simulation thing this is a great way to start.
I just got a Tech 21 FlyRig 5 v2 ; similar in concept all analog full rig in one pedal. I just can't get enough of it! Having the guitar sound you want before your sound interface and being able to have a no latency recording session is just ... ah , subliminal!
Hey, that's a really cool device. Also, I enjoy the videos you make. I, too like analog pedals other pedals pre amps and amps. But don't forget it's also your pick up like your single coil and hamburgers that help make the sound too along with the wood used to make guitar as well. Keep up the good work. Maybe do a univox guitar video. Oh well whatever nevermind.
I've pre-ordered the Revolt when it was announced (I think winter NAMM) and when I got it was literally like a kid opening a Xmas present. It was so exciting, and I must agree it's pretty easy to use and fun to play around with. Obviously it's not the same as actually plugging in/mic'ing an amp, but it's pretty close and since you can play around with 3 tones. My living situation has also changed to needing more of a silent play session it helped a lot in that department too. I've now got a pedalboard power supply that's got enough power to juice this with the rest of my pedals I have a 1 plug power solution and it's been so convenient.
I'm still discovering all the pathways open in my ReVolt, but I do have to admit that I don't use my amp onstage anymore. I normally just use Channel 1 with my pedals, as the boost function can push it into another amp sound completely, but it's also great to know that I have two other channels to use, each with it's own boost function. It's really great versatility, and the cab-sim feature means I don't have to have a cabinet onstage, either.
i like modelers like the fender mustang 2, because you can plug them up to a computer and screw around with the parameters and dial in your sound and tone
Love these videos, your personality and phrasing reminds me of my nephew, even the sound of your voice. Now that I’m done gushing, I haven’t used the two notes stuff but I have the Vox silk drive and mystic edge, and they are all analog with nutubes same as the mv series amps by vox. They never really caught on but man they sound great and take pedals better than most things, definitely worth a try. Sweetwater and guitar center have quit carrying them but you can still get them direct from Vox and I think the price is down to 99$ US.
Amp1 by Thomas blug. I am sure I won't be the only person who will mention it. It's a all in one analog solution. Plug it straight into a cab or line out to your interface. He also makes the analog blug box, which is a cab sim. I use my cabzeus with my amp1 rig. But I am sure you have heard of both of these things. The cabzeus stereo isn't analog. It's like the ox stomp. The same kind of function sounds great and comes with software.
I'm a tube amp girl. The thing that I love about tube amps is touch sensitivity, so I'd be curious to see how well this does that tube edge of breakup given that it has a tube in it
I haven't tried any analog amp sims. However, I used a Strymon Iridium for two years and now have Blackstar's Amped 1. As a hobbyist who doesn't want to irritate the whole family, I don't need a traditional amp anymore. I wouldn't be savvy enough to tell the difference between an analog amp and a sim, digital or analog.
I like your video, format, speed, content and quality is awesome ! To answer your question, I've just ordered a Quilters Superblock US (vintage fenderish tones). It's full 25watt or 1watt amp that you should like with something like a Tchula (as you like light OD sound). I can't understand the digital trend myself, as i tend to dont be involved with them as i am with analog or tube when i play. It's a feeling after all, not easy to translate via youtube content i imagine.
I have the revolt bass , I love the clean channel very much over all the other channels... It sounds really good , it's also a practice amp for me because of the headphone out. But for a one trick poney, it's not cheap , I use also the opus from two notes , it is a little bit less pricy sounds also good (all digital) but does a million things so it's hard to choose wich one to keep!
So Mike when you are playing in the room with the revolt or other amp sims, are you just hearing it all through your monitors? How does that experience feel compared to playing through an amp like a Katana at the same low volumes?
If you like Analog compact amps , check out the German "Bluguitar Amp 1" or the new " Bluguitar Amp X" absolute killer stuff , real tubes inside but compact , fits on a pedalboard no problem ;)))
Kind of reminds me of the old Digitech pedals that used 1 preamp tube back in the 90's. I used, and still have, a Vox Tonelab pedal that is tube driven. Although I believe it's a hybrid pedal combining digital and analog, it has 33 amp's and 16 cab's. If you can't find something usable with all those choices then you should just become a drummer! 🤣 The two notes didn't sound very analog to me. Were you going direct into an amp or into an interface? Maybe with different ir's it would sound less digital?
Here's what I've been hiding from you. You aren't a good player, nor are you interesting for others to take advice from. So, lets throw down a new gauntlet for you. Go get a JVM410. Then take your guitars and check them all out on it. Then, and only then, you'll see.

Dude is the mkbhd of the guitar world.
Fun fact: subway sandwiches also have tubes in them
Subway has hot dogs now?
Woah
I like Subway with the tube rectifier and spicey mustard!!
@@markd.bogart2166 sounds crunchy and delicious!!
Sometimes I'm short on money so I order the solid state subway.

Love your videos Mike. You have a natural way of telling stories that make your channel so different than all the other guitar channels..
Editing is great on this video. The timing of clip transitions, effects, text transitions. Good shit
Thats awesome you got to see the production Myles Kennedy guitar upclose before it was announced. I got see Myles playing the prototypes live last March at the Kansas City show on Alter Bridge's Pawns and Kings tour.
Loving the videos. Congrats on crossing 200k, well deserved! Would love to see a walk though of your process and your filming gear too!
Keep doing what you are doing. Your videos are consistently awesome and I was shocked to just notice you have "only" 200k subscribers. That will change soon.
Mike, killer chops, and that rhythm thing you played to demo the "Fender" tone was smooth. Love it!

Im glad i stumble upon your page. Its addictive, no ordinary guitar review but its a story telling music page.

Your growing on your channel quickly. That's amazing man and keep up the content
If it's a variety of new thumbnail expressions, I'm all in bru

Nice one Mike, thanks. I wish you would have shown more of the Gear Fest,walking around and playing, etc.
Great video! The clean tone sounds especially good.
Simplifier MKII all analog amp sim with built in reverb is pretty great
My man! Your best video ever. Brilliant.

Thanks. Great intro to an awesome product.
I use the Foxgear Jeenie a good bit. Great tones overall, and all-analog.
H&K Ampman Classic. Good, affordable, analog.

That thing is super intriguing. I am really happy with my Boss IR-200. Same concept, not analog obviously :-)

Did not see a link for that Music Man guitar ?
Really enjoy your videos Mike. Keep it up 👍 Try out the Friedman IR-X if you get a chance.

You Should Definitely check out the Two Notes OPUS.
More Amp Choices.
Subway gang for life
i love you mike!!!!

I’m a huge fan of the Friedman IR-X
How dare you... sleeping with socks is the best thing ever
I have a dv mark micro 60 sounds better than my katana, but it’s not loud enough to gig with a band

Isn’t an analog amp sim the same thing as a solid state amp?
..except it has a tube in it.
I love Subway
I met you at gear fest
The clean tone is killer. The Soldano and Plexi....meh. That Fender tone though, imo sounds lush and natural.
I enjoy your videos but... people who don't sleep with socks on in the winter time are nuts.
Italian B.M.T. Is best at Subway- but you're thin for a reason lol 😊 PRS still rules.
Hi mike!
Today's pros use Subway modellers bro
Why do people wait to eat to make videos? They chomp during the video while they’re talking.
Dudes it's less than $400
You didn't want to kiss and tell, because you were in love?
a tube powered modeler... is somebody unclear on the concept ? is wtf the reasonable response ?
Socks in bed is psycho mode
there are some people that make it to the couch with their shoes on... theyre crazy.
Nice try but literally every Alter Bridge fan on the planet has known Myles has been road testing the NF for at least eighteen months.
Here's what I've been hiding from you.
You aren't a good player, nor are you interesting for others to take advice from.
So, lets throw down a new gauntlet for you. Go get a JVM410. Then take your guitars and check them all out on it.

IM FIRST YOOOOOOOOO
well done sir
People that sleep with socks on are crazy
You haven’t been keeping your clickbait titles from Us. I don’t mean to be an asshole, but this whole “elitist beginner guitar guy” shit is kinda getting on my nerves.
Orange micro terror, Orange PPC212 CB and Boss DS1 that's all you need 😊 thank me later 😊
Why can’t they just make their own guitar styles instead of trying to copy what someone else has written?
I loathe PRS
Dude! I like your videos BUT the clickbait titles make it hard to take you as a serious professional. You're better than that.
I don't think it was clickbait… it seems the video lives up to the hype!
@@jemock1i love Mike's videos and general vibe
