      On the mod, Here's a great video on how to do it:
      ruclips.net/video/D2R3dwYUc7Q/видео.html
      I went a bit further than the tutorial video and completely removed r107 (680K ohm, 1/4 watt, 5% tol), since the board was already flipped over during jack change. I replaced r107 with a new resistor, fluxed and soldered the long resistor lead to the switch wire and capped off the exposed parts with heatshrink tubing. Then I fluxed and soldered the other wire from the switch and resistor end at the bottom of the board in it's proper solder joint.
      I wanted to do it properly and didn't want to risk the possibility of a weak solder joint by just snipping the resistor end and soldering there. It still works if you do it that way. But, I if I ever haul this amp around and it got bumped too many times, causing the joint to snap, I'd be back in there fixing it, all over again. Fuck that. I'd rather do it right and not have to worry about it.
      Good luck!

    People trying to gouge the 1960 is just silly. They were the least desirable amp bugera makes/made. The whole point of bugera is that they're cheap. Once you hit $500 the used market opens up massively. At $1400? Who would even be looking at bugera if thats their budget?

    In Europe at least you can usually get Laney GH50/100L and VH100R amps for very cheap prices, and they're basically modded JCM800s. Like, straight up 2203 JCM800 preamp plus an optional additional gain stage (classic JCM800 hot rod), plus powerful fx loop (switchable serial/parallel/bypass), and bias switch EL34/6L6. You can get those for 300 bucks if you're lucky, although 400 is more common. Great amps if you're looking for a budget JCM800 that can also deliver some serious amount of gain. The VH100R is basically the larger brother of the GH100L with two full preamps so you can get an actual clean tone with it. Main difference to a real 2203 is that the low input doesn't bypass a gain stage (it's just a pad resistor), and some values in the tone stack are different. Great amps, heavy af. Both in tone and weight.

    In the cinema each of the 24 frames were screened twice through a double shutter, the first banked the film pull down, the second blanked the same frame again. In actual fact the same frame was shown twice, this helps motion, at home we don't have this without FI. The cinema at 24 was screening the same frame twice, the 24 frames x 2 = 48 times played.

    Jet city 20 watt combo was my first tube amp, it needs new tubes but it's 10 years old. Same as your show.
    My next was a 6505 combo, main difference was the gritty punch over the whoofy mids. One amp is really a classic british brown that matches to a strat or an SG with incredible results. And the other will cut through any mix with a trashy bassist and no musical knowledge.
    So glad I found your channel back in my highschool years when I had a real obsession with electric guitar, I'm hoping to have time to pick up the strings again soon. Recording with a single sm57 and shure inline adapter isn't ideal but you showed me that it should be enough with the right skills. Starting with some acoustic covers to build muscle, then some 6 string covers, 7 string covers and finally get my 8 string muscle memory developed again. I took a huge break after college in 2016 but I haven't had an issue picking up any random number of strings and noodling out a lick.

I know the convolution reverb plugin that comes with Reaper will generate a sine sweep and also do the deconvolution to make an IR, but it would be cool to see all the pieces in one video (the Reaper part plus dialing in the Powerstage's EQ to get the signal to the speaker to get a good IR, etc) Thanks for all the help you give in your videos!

    Thing about pitching down a guitar (at least to try and emulate a bass-guitar): It could probably come out roughly the same, but the difference is stuff like the string-tension, string thickness of course, and the scale. - Bass-instruments tend to be longer, for a reason, cause physics, which I'm no expert in while I get the general gist, but in terms of guitars the string-gauge really matters for the sound. You can easily get it too bright or dark going one way or the other and just tweaking the highs on the EQ doesn't really change that. And considering you want a "full" sound, to really cover those lower frequencies, you want those thicker strings, besides them also having the right tension (along with the scale-length) to tune that low and probably staying cleaner by not flopping around and all that. So it's not all about sound (or "toan"), but also how practical and playable it is. - The best bet would be to use a baritone-guitar with thick strings, which can definitely sound close to bass-guitars, for obvious reasons. But at that point you might as well get a cheap bass-guitar.

    Hi, Glen! Thanks for all your videos, I learned so so much from them. I have one more channel that gives me as much necessary information to survive in this musicians' world. Its Jim Lill's channel, maybe you heard about him. You always tell that guitar cab and speaker is the most important thing in the sound and I absolutely agree.
    BUT Jim Lill proved in his "Where does tone come from in a guitar cab" video, that the only thing that actually matters in a cabinet is the dimensions of the cab. So basically you can take dimensional measurements (blueprint) of a cab that you like, then bring it to any local carpenter, and you got your dream cabinet for almost free. And you don't have to spend two grand on a mesa boogie oversized cab to get a great tone.

  • @AlexusDelphi

    17:34 I have to disagree there on why 24fps is the standard for cinema. That frame rate was chosen when the only option was expensive physical film and was a nice middle ground for saving money with the illusion of smooth motion to most people. 24fps is still used because it was the accepted standard way back when celluloid was the default or only option, and it stuck for a century. That's why anything above that can look weird - you're used to it being lower. With TV it can be either 24 or 30 depending on production, with 60fps as a rarity. Like Mythbusters was entirely at 30fps and a lot of soap operas are at 60fps.
    60 gives more clarity and smoothness to the motion while reducing smearing on fast actions. This part is definitely subjective, but 24fps is fatiguing to look at for me. Lower and it physically hurts my eyes (looking at you, anime) because it looks like a slide show.

    The 20w Jet City has been an open secret for years. They're easily one of the very best medium-gain amps in any price range. Until recently you could get one for $200AU/CAD with little effort. Like everything else that eventually gets 'found out' on the internet though, they've become reasonably unobtainable; and I expect to see them show up for $1000s once Glenn outs them further.

    Glenn, great video. You are spot on about the psychological aspect of film frame rates. They just work like magic. We do audio & video and I wanted to weigh in on the frame rate thing. There are a lot of good reasons to shoot in higher frame rates and at higher resolution such as 4k. Its really a balance of workflow, storage and all that. Depending on your camera, higher frame rates may look a lot worse; very sterile. Lower frame rates allow more light to hit the sensor and can produce a better look in many cases. Higher resolution can let you do cool tricks like pan and zoom within the frame when your final output is lower than what you shot. Shooting in 4k and outputting in HD 2K for example. Also, high res is great for both extreme closeups of say, a guitar bridge set-up and huge wide shots of a stage. Higher rates would help filming a close up of fingers shredding on a fret board. Talking head shots in 2k 25 fps generally look great. In 4K you could zoom in on a nose hair if you wanted. Video editing applications like Davinci Resolve let you play with all this stuff pretty much for free. But whatever you do, try outputting your final in a film frame rate and maybe use a 'film look' plugin of some kind. Your videos will have that special film magic we have loved since 1926. Rock on brother.

      yes, but the CG in Avatar 2 looked so horribly layered and fake it was horrible. Furiosa too, looks fake. There is something about running over a real motorcycle with a real truck with real incendiary pyrotechnics that CGI cannot replace.

    Hey Glenn, just wanted to chime in. I have no interest in being a recording engineer. That's not to say I haven't gained any information from this channel. Case and point my Marshall 1960AV from an old video and it sounds great to this day. I watch because you are actually hilarious, and I do love the information, even if it doesn't apply directly to me.

    The videogame people dont understand that for animation you need at least 48 frames to make it look smooth. But our eyes register real things better in a slightly lower framerate.

    Glenn, your tutorials on recording guitar have helped me tremendously, I’ve been watching them since your first one, where you insisted on using a 5150 into a V30 cab and micing it with an SM57, which is a far cry from your current stance on not using gear that everyone else has heard a million times. Have you ever thought about doing updated versions of those videos? I’d love to see all the things you’ve learned since you started your channel compiled into one video.
    Cheers from Memphis (I agree with you on Sun Studios)

    Hi Glenn, I really love what you do here and I wish there was more channels like yours! So I found a very great combo-amplifier for around 250$, It's Harley Benton Tube 15 (for US and Canada there is same amplifier by brand "mono price" same amp just different branding) and it rocks! 15 watt tube amp that can go into hi gain territory, also the speakers are celestion "Seventy-80" those sound very decent but well didn't check out if recorded will still sound great, really recommend it tho. Cheers from Poland!

    Jet City’s are great because you can pick up a JCA20/22 for like 200-350 usd and mod it for a couple hundred to sound like another amp. Jcm800, Diezel, Satan, Butterslax, etc etc. Epic Tones sells the mod kits if you’re good with a soldering iron.

    Hi Glenn. Inexpensive gear suggestion: Peavey TransTube Bandit 112 combo. Got an ex demo unit for £299 and I love it - great range of tones for cover band band work and it's bloody loud. Did an outside gig the other week without mic'ing up and only needed to put it on 4.

    Hey Glenn great video on a budget solution for the Quad Cortex I decided to go with the HeadRush Core it seems to do just about everything that the quad does but at a way more affordable cost all while not skipping on the important features like sound quality also tons of I/O amp capturing stereo send and return with ease of use hell it's even got that fancy touchscreen stuff the kids are all talking about these days give it a shot you and budget-minded guitarists and bass players hell even vocalists will be glad you did there's something for everyone in this.

  • @claudemanning6578

    The Avid Eleven Rack is a great hardware amp sim. And it's really affordable. You can get one for less than $300 on Sweetwater's used section and it sounds great. If you just want a box that'll get you going then get that. Also the G1X four Zoom is a decent unit as well. I've used it many times mostly for lead tones but it's fine for rhythms depending on what your style is, if you're going for a stoner or sludgy type sound then you'll be fine anything else and I'd say the Eleven rack may be better

    If you're looking for affordable amp tones, you should check out the AMT Legend 2 pedals. They're a preamp pedal with three outputs: amp sim, preamp, distortion pedal. They make a number of amp models, including the Soldano.

    Two things - I would love an updated cabinet miking video that goes in depth, like an SM57 on the same spot on multiple different speakers since speakers are the tone changer. I ask that because most would play through a different speaker CABINET without a reamp box but we know you will eliminate as many variables as possible.
    I also am once again asking you to check out the Carvin V3, or even an XB100. They are killer for the price, I got my V3, a custom made red one with brown textured tolex, for about $500.

    My suggestion for "modeller" is, to put NAM on a Raspberry PI with ZynthianOS. You can either put it in a Zynthian hardware for Audio IO, use a HifiBerry, or use a USB audio interface. A Raspberry Pi 4 will run a few additional effects, and an IR loader. A Raspberry Pi 5 will yawn on pretty complex signal chains.
    I've tried to convince TwoNotes, to build Genome for Linux on a Raspi, but they won't, even though it works just fine on x64 systems with Wine. Therefore you'll have to work with multiple plugins. Thank god, there's Jack and Carla, to make things really easy. The upside is, that you can use all the high quality plugins available for Linux, like e.g. the LSP suite, or the Calf suite.
    @Glen, will Prism be available for Linux? Since most of your plugins are, I do have high hopes. Would you mind providing a ARM64 version for Raspberry Pi/Zynthian use cases as well?

    Love Your Show Brother!
    I would like to recommend the stage series of Fender Amps.
    As a great value at a good price.
    The amps are solid state & not tube, however they come preloaded with the Celestion G12T-100.
    I paid 179.95 for my Fender Stage 1000 at the local pawn shop, & It was worth every penny.
    Thank you for pointing out hidden gem gear that we poor folks can still afford.
    Keep Up The Killer Work! 🤘🤘🤘

    GLENN!!! As guitarists, most of us have lots of pedals lying around. With many brands now employing studio-grade components - like Origin Effects Cali 76 compressor and the JHS Color Box preamp - how viable are they to use in the studio for recording various sources and not just for guitar? Maybe a video on using pedals side-chained and how they compare to other studio preamps/compressor??
