re tube vs modeller: I think I have been to ONE show - where I'm pretty sure they used modellers and it did not take anything away from the experience. I understand the part where it's more convenient for larger productions or stuff like that. But especially those shows where I've seen an artist before they made the switch... It just takes away SO much from the feel. I don't care how big the venue. You always hear something is lacking if they use modellers.
At 33:00 re: adding post EQ to post compressor, believe the EQ went in series after the post compressor (not before the post compressor). Preamp --> DBX160 --> TC1140 EQ / Arts EQ --> TC1210/TSC chorus into first stage parallel mixer where you would see Reverb (PCM70/Roland), Micropitch (SPX90 / H3000) and/or Delay (PCM42 / SDE3000) get introduced (in parallel), followed by a second stage parallel mixer where you could add additional delay / reverb (or just run the secondary delay / reverb effects in series post first stage parallel mixer via the output of the first stage parallel mixer). Hope that helps anyone trying to get closer to the 80s/90s rack cleans!
"There's something to be said to make music and not sit there and tweak, you know what I mean, just plug in and go." This, after 4 decades of playing amps and modellers. I just decided 12 years ago to stick with what I know, and like, and what makes me smile. Modellers have their place and convenience, no denying that, and I will occasionally use one gig dependant. Plenty of choices out there with smaller amps and rigs to compete with digital world.
I’m Seeing sammy and joe at redrock in colorado. Can’t wait! Always wanted a reason to see that beautiful venue. It is sad to think about Eddie not being there, but I’m glad they are paying tribute and I know Joe will be up to task.
Marc, IME in order to rectify the problem that you have with Kemper turned up, you would have to avoid (probably) third party profiles, bring your own amp that you like playing, wind it up to where you want it and profile THAT. That's the key. Works with Tonex. Also, that kinda goes without saying, any major gain changes should be profiled additionally.
My Ada Microcab 2 sounds really good combining 2 filters. Open 1x12 and closed 1x12 at the same time. I got great results with it. I just use my stereo pair of Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus boxes IR DI boxes.
The VH tribute show was a lot of fun. It was really a pure celebration. Hope it goes on again next year and they can pull out more of the deeper stuff that people want to hear live again
There will always be a modeler vs tube amp debate. When I go direct out of the kemper the tone takes a bit of tweaking venue to venue. Once I used it through a power amp and miked cab it only seems to get better with volume. Friedman 1. My 2 cents. O. Lol
I've Met Grover Jackson more times than I can count 1983-1989 at San Dimas Factory @Gladstone St. & Lone Hill, as well as 4011 Airport Drive Ontario Factory, and He is the Most Awesome Guitar Propeller Head Nice Guy Genius you could EVER Meet, Southern Gentleman Manners yet a Rowdy Rocker...thinkin' idk.... Lets Do a couple gagger Lines?!...along with a few Beers type of Reserved Grover Jackson version of a Dimebag Darrell type of Southern Dude Demeanor, just my opinion, but I'm pretty Good with my instincts
Hmmmm...Dynamics, what do you think about the UA 68 Plexi Lion videos with Universal Audio' Main Muse Guitarist Engineer James Santiago, seems like the Newest Digital Modeler Marshall Emulation is On Point
Not to rain on your Dave parade and l will add that yes The Friedman products are absolutely ACE. Grover no longer makes the Friedman guitars. I think Rock and Roll relics makes them which is AOK as well. But with confidence.
We Need another type of Explorer/Kelly Body style for all us Real METAL Guitarists, lol Shredding Deep into our 🤘Akira approved.. "Black Star Oblivion!"🤘
I think the issue with the BOBW tour is primarily in the lead playing and not rhythm as much. The leads clearly sound like anyone on the internet playing it/covering it. Pete Thorn should have been the elected member of Sammy’s tour.
The modeler question - this is the key - they have a good sound but don’t have the feel. So some playing styles don’t suffer but some like mine suffer as I rely on pick attack and picking force to alter the sound
I think The Jose Motley 'Mick Mod", and the Original Great White Guitarist Mark Kendall Marshall Head, (my Guitar Buddy Owned it for Years!) Are Pretty Much the Same exact thingy
EVH couldn't have been the first to wax pot a pickup because he got it from Wayne charvel. Ed had a dimarzio that squealed too much so he asked Wayne charvel if there was a fix and Wayne wax potted it for him.
actually Harley Bentons are hit and miss,they have many b stocks,quality is not good if you buy during hot sales,also stainless frets are a pita to straighten out and polish
Seems that nobody (really able to play guitar too) test plays those guitars before they leave the factory. However some of those Harley Bentons are astonishingly good guitars for the price, if nothing has gone wrong in the manufacturing process. I purchased one SC last year and that guitar is very good, except the nut slots were a total joke, 1st string higher than 6th etc. Thomann was willing to swap it to a new one but I refused because that guitar was otherwise so ridiculously good that I fixed the nut myself and they compensated me because of that nutjob for about 15% of the price. Good customer service.
You & Grover Should re release a Version of his 1983-84:Original Large Body 22 Fret, New Type Explorer!! Too many Double Cutaway Same Ol Cookie Cutter lookin Guitars these days
I thought Joe was absolutely fantastic and respectful in his interpretation of the VH stuff. Enough of the original parts with the right amount of personal touch to make it fun. Joe’s tone was also monstrous!! Those are some massive shoes to fill and joe did it with class and humility.
From what I've seen online, it's been pretty bad. Not only is Joe's tone and performance, not even close... Jason can't do Alex. Eddie and Alex had a swing to their groove. I think Dave was just biting his tongue 😮

Dave, @1:27 on the clock you talk about single coil noise cancellation. I have it on 3 of my guitars. His name is ILitch System

I have been using the MIC-NO-MO for multiple live events instead of pics and the PA guys really like it!

will have to listen tommorow. thanks!
My bassist had a similar issue with a Harley Benton bass. Somehow damaged in shipping.

Tyler was doing ssc/dummy coils with his JTO pickups in the late 1980s.

Deja Vibe guy - there should be a trim pot inside pedal. Adjust it.
I think the hum cancelling pickgaurd Dave is talking about is an Illitch system. I have one on a strat
Dave is the BEST. UNBELIEVABLE AMPS & & UNBELIEVABLE Grover Jackson FRIEDMAN Guitars. Hope to meet him some day🎉

I’ll punish you Dave! Show us the proper way to solder tube sockets!

Rock on Marc, seeing Sammy and looking forward to it in Detroit !

Ilitch does the ssc thing. He invented it.
I posted this earlier and you deleted it,
Jim Tyler was doing ssc in the 1980s.
@@jaycareaga9929 I had no idea. I'll google it. Thanks.

What Dave, are you upset that Joe isn’t playing the parts exactly like Eddie?
I thought Joe was absolutely fantastic and respectful in his interpretation of the VH stuff. Enough of the original parts with the right amount of personal touch to make it fun. Joe’s tone was also monstrous!! Those are some massive shoes to fill and joe did it with class and humility.
