@@Chillnote only Lester Claypool and Peter Vargo know what happened in 1984 and 1985 regarding Yng's tone and mics they used to capture those two iconic records
Hi Good one and WOW that was some amazing playing near the end, certainly endless room for my improvement. I would use a Mesa Rectoverb 50 Combo, no pedals needed for me as I use the channels and guitar volume as a boost, so I'll have 2 amps (the 2nd being either a Fender Super Sonic 22 or a Engl Screamer 50 which you can access 4 tonal modes with increasing levels of gain via a 2 button Footswitch footswitch). Guitar = Fender Stratocaster which I've modded to be HSS Dimarzio Tone Zone, Custom Shop Fat 50s single coils and my secret weapon a 10 way Freeway switch. Enjoy and regards. But now I need to buy that HB amp too :)
Suhr strat, Marshall jubilee, Origin revival drive compact, Greer Lightspeed, Keeyley compressor plus. This gives You the perfect Malmsteen tone! So keeley into the lightspeed into the Revival drive.
That’s pretty much my situation right now. I have an LTD EC-401 w/ EMG 81/60 going into a modded 1987x (2204 circuit 🤘🏻) with an EP Boost > EWS Brute Drive > Boss DD-3 in the signal chain. Sounds incredible through my EVH 4x12 cabinet.
My choices will be based on equipment I’ve own at some point in time. Guitar, Gibson Explorer I like the amount of options it gives me tone wise. Which is pretty much anything volume and tone related. Amp, Marshall vs100. It gives me the power and tones I like for my style of noise. Pedals, Boss Rv6 because I like some low levels of effects this pedal gives me for my style of disturbing the peace. Pedal 2, Boss Sd1, for extra misery on the over all combined distortion between the amp and overdrive pedal. It does get to my level of evil. Last but not least, in agreement with you...a volume pedal because they just add that extra level of creativity that I find mesmerizing. Fucking great video Elmo!
Guitar: my Godin Exit 22 - I love the look of mahogany and it sounds great Amp: a 15 watt tube amp with a drive channel and reverb Pedals: flanger, phaser, and tremolo
Nice subject and great video as always ! (I'm trying to catch on... there's so much to see on your channel !) For me : Jazzmaster (If possible, mine, which I've heavily modified : set neck, reverse head stock, schaller roller bridge, volume and tone for each pickup, heavier pickups, roller string trees, locking tuners) - TC electronic spark - Proco Rat - Bugera 1960 ('cause it doesn't costs an arm to replace if it breaks and the attenuator on the back) - Old Blood Noise endeavors Black Fountain (Oil delay is an acquired taste, but I love it !) As I spoke about it, I would be really interested to know if you've ever tried a jazzmaster or a Jaguar ? and what you liked/disliked with thoose designs.
Strat with an HSS configuration (and the bridge can be split), Mesa Boogie amp (it's the only amp I own), Abasi Pathos distortion pedal, Old Blood Noise Endeavors analog delay, and maybe a compressor pedal of some kind for clean tones
My 1987x, Stratocaster, Full-Drive 2 w/boost, Analog Delay, Wah-Wah. I just chose from equipment I already own, kind of generic selections however they are all common tools. Given the choice out of any equipment ever made I could ponder the question as asked for Decades and Decades without being able to really decide!
It is actually not much less than the pedalboard I'm using right now... I'm using a simple cheap Zoom G2.1u in the loop as delay/reverb/mastervolume, an Boss SD, 1 a TC Electronic Spark clean boost and an extra buffer pedal, but I can do without. So, I would go with similar pedals, except for the volume pedal. I'd use a strat, my trusted combo for over 25 years (Marshall Valvestate VS 100) with the overdrive (Boss SD 1), a delay pedal in the loop and instead of a volume pedal, my clean boost (after the SD 1, just to give it this kick for soloing). I've always used the volume knob of my guitar for volume anyway...
Thanks for this video, I wanted to hear how tube15 would sound with Riverside, and maybe in the future I will take one RIverside aswell :) My current set (on a budget): Tube15, Harley Benton TE-20, HB Digital delay, BOSS SD1 and third pedal would be some decent noise gate for which I will save some money (maybe TC electronic Sentry). I have to mention that I'm using volume pedal - Chaos mini volume box from Chaos custom shop in Poland which provides interesting pedals for competitive prices. First of all I have bought Tube15 thanks to your review and Dave Simpson review. I needed something I could learn basics and practise with without being thrown away by crappy sound. To be honest I thought this guitar would sound much worse but I am still positively surprised. 15 years ago I had a Ibanez guitar that cost me a little bit more than whole set I listed above. Then I had some transistor 10W Laney amp which sounded terrible... I really didnt want to grab guitar and learn/practise more but my budget was used :) Now I'm really happy,. Things I would change: it would be that Boss OD1 because it affects tube15 tubeq5 overdriven sound, I mean it changes the tone somehow. It doesnt sound bad (I'm using it as a booster for overdriven amp) but I think that with that boost it is doing something to soound of the amp. I will be searching for some pedal that will be able to give heavy boost without changing amp character too much; and second thing I would change is pickup set in that telecaster to something with higher output.
Totally agree that volume/wah pedals are underrated and essential. If you can get a good quality combo that's great but the volume part is the most important aspect. Too many times I've launched into a blistering lead only to have it fall on it's ass because the sound guy is not from my band and either doesn't care or is, horror of horrors, a keyboard player who has spent too many hours being taken for granted as a "Rhythm Slave" to the guitarist in his band and loves to get a bit of his own back. That sux !! Great amp for the $$, I only wish that geography didn't preclude we Aussies from joining in the bargains from Thomann. Oh well. You do love your Strymons, eh? They do sound good I must admit. Good episode as per, Elmo. Cheers. Mark.
Ok, :-) I take the Chalange. Guitar: Harley Benton Fusion II with Humbuckers, Becuse it is just super nice hardware and feel. Pedals: KMA Audio Machines Logan Overdrive and KMA Audio Machines Cirrus Reverb/Delay, and last a BOSS EV-30 Exp/Vol pedal to use with both pedals or on amp. And the amp would be my beloved BOSS Katana MKII 100. Thanks for your work!
Interesting video Elmo and very nice sounding GM12 speaker swap in the Harley. My guitar/amp/pedal choices if pushed would be my '79 LP Std, '66 JTM45 head with '83 1936 2x12 JCM800 series cab. As for pedals (if needed), I'd go with my Maxon OD9, EHX Holy Grail Plus for reverbs and Maxon AD10 for analog delay.
Because putting it in the loop controls the volume, not the sound. If you have overdrive going on and use the volume knob, then the sound just cleans up.
Some kind of superstrat, Marshall 2553 silver jubilee, delay on a loop and DOD juice box, and If a load box with cab sim is considered as a pedal, I would have maybe Two Notes captor x. Otherwise third pedal would be Ibanez mostortion.
My Schecter C6 Deluxe, and the Fender Mustang GTX 50 because modeling would be very clever if I have to stick with it :D Boss Looper, a random tuner pedal and a random noise gate. Which is actually my everyday setup.

Guitar- my yngwie strat- best guitar ive ever owned amp- my afd100- its a beast- my favorite amp pedals- although i dont use them regularly - except my wah- my pedals are wah overdrive- sd1 - does the job :) reverb- some sort of reverb :)
Fess up Elmo, now that you had time to noodle over the editing, what was the alternative amp that came to your mind ? As for me, the basic n00b player, I will go for what works right now: Fender Lead III -> Fender Engager -> Fender Super Sonic 60 -> in the loop Boss EH-2 + JHS Little Black Amp Box (to dial it down). I think I could use a volume pedal in the loop instead of the JHS, but I could accidently tear a wall down ... so not ideal. And yeah, I miss out on delay, eq, and more. I guess the cheat would be to replace the Engager with a HX Stomp. Truth be told, while practicing, I tend to use my tiny Fender Greta with an external cab, and I am not likely to ever do more then jam with friends, so that would work.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, so I don't know your choices. Here goes mine: Guitar: Flying V with a Kahler on it. Medium-high output bridge pickup and medium-output neck pickup on it, as well. Amp: Plexi or plexi-based half-stack with sound-alikes of vintage greenback G12M25's and G12H30's in X formation and a post-phase-inverter master volume. Pedals: TU-2 or TU-3, TS-808, DS-1. Why: Fun. With just one guitar and three pedals, you're not going to get versatility. So go for a great, fun-to-play tone and jam out. Since plexis were originally based on Fender circuits, they can sound really good clean. They obviously can sound great overdriven. The tuner pedals for obvious reasons. I like how the TS-808 Tube Screamer, set as a boost, sounds in front of almost all amps, but especially in front of a plexi, so it'd usually be on for regular rock rhythm. The DS-1 (set mostly as a boost) to lay on extra umph for solos. For clean, turn the boost pedal(s) off and back the guitar's volume off. I didn't include any multi-effect pedals because I thought it might be against the spirit of the thought problem. Okay, I'll watch the rest of the video now... Interesting. Well, if multi-effect pedals are allowed, that would change the rig considerably. In that case I might go for a guitar *like* an RG550 (not an Ibanez RG, though, I don't like those necks) with HSH pickups and coil-splitting and maybe something like a Quad Cortex floor unit (they do *E V E R Y T H I N G* these days) and a good, loud FRFR stereo amp. Then I could model just about any rig I'd care to play. I think I have two pedals left over. Maybe I'll take two groupies instead...
What an interesting video. Great vid. I would use either a Peavey 5150 amp of some type, or a solid state amp such as an Orange or Katana, or hybrid Orange head. An overdrive for sure. An EQ pedal probably as a boost. I would use reverb on the amp. I would have to have my wah. I would have guessed you would have used your marshall and SD1. 😀 The volume pedal is a great idea, but I would probably change channels on the amp and the lead channel would have reverb and would be a few dbs louder if needed. Who has their own soundman? 🤣 I always used friends and bribed them with beer and food! 🤣 Usually showing them which knob to crank when they hear me playing lead with tape marking all the knobs for everyone on the mixer. . 🤣 Guitar would be either an S series Ibanez or my LP Jr. Probably the later as it just works.

My Ibanez 76 les paul (tweaked out and super charged because I´m a lefty) Bugera v22 with tube changes - Pre amp Tung Sol 12AX7 and Mullard EL84 power tubes( maybe change the speaker to a Celestion Boss Chorus CH-1, Cry Baby GCB 95 and Big Muff ( I´m a bit old school) Rock on dude . Love your videos they are very honest.
Hey Elmo. Wondering if you've done any vids maybe how you used AxeFx in your live setup when you used to do so? Did you use a power amp and cab, or use it with 4 cable method or just for? Man, I wish I could find an inexpensive modeling unit that had say 3 or 4 amp models and just basic effects that felt like a real tube amp and sounded close enough. It would be so much easier than carrying an amp and pedal board and guitars around to gigs or rehearsals and to jams. Spring is in the air here after we had two snows in a row of about 8 inches ( 20 c) ...Take care sir.
I did both. First I used a powered monitor, and later I used it with the Marshall (4 cable method). You could get one of the first generation Axe-FX units. I got one for 400€.
Commenting before watching: is it a Marshall Plexi, a custom mahogany strat with YJM fury pickups, a Fender Yngwei Malmsteen Overdrive, Delay, and a tuner? EDIT: You tricked me! Haha. Mine would probably be my Gibson SG, my Marshall DSL40, my Klon KTR, my Wampler Ethereal, and probably a tuner if I were playing live.

Who those? Because it's close enough to my current setup that I love. I always wanted a huge setup than made this little small practical setup that I can never get enough of. I might replace the tuner with a compression though.
Elmo the magician, why does that amp behind you on your right look like a Dumble?? It's been driving me nuts! Could it be...? Ok if it's one amp, ADA Viper combo or Dean Markley CD-60 (1980s model) Markley sounds great, all tubes, I put Rola Celestion in, and oh it loves every pedal. ADA Viper doesn't need pedals, the overdrive sounds are glorious from blues to killer metal, plus many awesome features. Ok, go with ADA. I love my Flamma Ekoverb, I can play crap and go to shimmering, ambient Heaven, also by Flamma the FS-06 preamp pedal, cheating, because you have 7 classic amps in one small pedal and you can set up a clean and drive channel for each! Thanks much King Elmo, Bruce.
Will people choose gear they have played on or dream gear? From gear I actually played on, a 1990s Rivera Combo (borrowed, I think a 55-12) and a PRS EG-2 HSH (owned). Used whatever Boss OD or time effect pedal I had at the time. No point choosing gear I haven't ever played on.
Not hard at all to decide with one working guitar amp and only owning three old pedals, an Ace Tone Wah Master, Lafayette Echo Verb and a Heathkit distortion booster. Guitar is kit built SG clone.
Lurig fråga. Jag använder inte pedaler. Min stärkare är spikad: Laney IR60 genom en Ibanez 4*12. Av gitarrerna hade jag valt min RG9 faktiskt. Som fd basist så är det den perfekta hybriden för min intressetyp (lätt ADD 😅). Men skulle jag gå genom de pedaler jag trots allt ägt så hade en kombo av Boss D3T (delay och eko), en cry baby samt en BOSS compressor (eftersom nio strängar endast mår bra av att tonmobbas lite). Men det var spännande val, som du hintade. Jag satte strattan (duh) och Strymon. Sen trodde jag nog minikuben skulle hamnat på stärkarsidan. Volympedalen såg jag inte i förväg. Men det är för att jag alltid söker punk-elementet 😁. 👍 Elmo Nyt kuritan Karjalainen 🙌
@@MrPolevaulter på tal om extended range-gitarrer så vore det intressant att på sikt se en åttasträngad dyka upp på din recensionskarta. Gitarrtypen har vissa imageproblem då den fått ett ensidigt användningsområde. Men IA, Abasi, Meshuggah är typiska exempel på såna som är kreativa med instrumentet. En frågeställning i stil med: Is this gr8 for the heavy or the progressive? Is there a middleground? Eller nåt. Det tror jag att du skulle kunna ha en bra diskussion kring. Det saknas en del i gebitet. Bara en tanke såhär på en fredag. Trevlig helg farbror 😊

Comfortably Plum :D Good name :D
@@MrPolevaulter yeah! Come to think of it, I'd lose the flanger and go with the kraken, the plum, and the delay 😄
@@MrPolevaulter Gotta say tho, I really like the Riverside that you'd reviewed!
@@samain1804 Very good pedal :)
Ibanez Premium AZ242, bugera g20 infinium, TC Electronic darkmatter, the Prophet, Ditto looper
The Ditto is fun :)
Ibanez AT10p-sb + Carl Martin AT Comp + JHS Sweet Tea + Line6 M9 + Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb \m/
Cool :)
I haven't watched the whole video yet, so I don't know your choices. Here goes mine:
Guitar: Flying V with a Kahler on it. Medium-high output bridge pickup and medium-output neck pickup on it, as well.
Amp: Plexi or plexi-based half-stack with sound-alikes of vintage greenback G12M25's and G12H30's in X formation and a post-phase-inverter master volume.
Pedals: TU-2 or TU-3, TS-808, DS-1.
Why: Fun. With just one guitar and three pedals, you're not going to get versatility. So go for a great, fun-to-play tone and jam out. Since plexis were originally based on Fender circuits, they can sound really good clean. They obviously can sound great overdriven. The tuner pedals for obvious reasons. I like how the TS-808 Tube Screamer, set as a boost, sounds in front of almost all amps, but especially in front of a plexi, so it'd usually be on for regular rock rhythm. The DS-1 (set mostly as a boost) to lay on extra umph for solos. For clean, turn the boost pedal(s) off and back the guitar's volume off.
I didn't include any multi-effect pedals because I thought it might be against the spirit of the thought problem.
Okay, I'll watch the rest of the video now...
Interesting.
Well, if multi-effect pedals are allowed, that would change the rig considerably.
In that case I might go for a guitar *like* an RG550 (not an Ibanez RG, though, I don't like those necks) with HSH pickups and coil-splitting and maybe something like a Quad Cortex floor unit (they do *E V E R Y T H I N G* these days) and a good, loud FRFR stereo amp. Then I could model just about any rig I'd care to play.
I think I have two pedals left over. Maybe I'll take two groupies instead...
True. Didn't really think about multi effects as such. The Quad Cortext could do the whole rig basically :D
What an interesting video. Great vid.
I would use either a Peavey 5150 amp of some type, or a solid state amp such as an Orange or Katana, or hybrid Orange head.
An overdrive for sure. An EQ pedal probably as a boost. I would use reverb on the amp. I would have to have my wah.
I would have guessed you would have used your marshall and SD1. 😀
The volume pedal is a great idea, but I would probably change channels on the amp and the lead channel would have reverb and would be a few dbs louder if needed.
Who has their own soundman? 🤣 I always used friends and bribed them with beer and food! 🤣 Usually showing them which knob to crank when they hear me playing lead with tape marking all the knobs for everyone on the mixer. . 🤣
Guitar would be either an S series Ibanez or my LP Jr. Probably the later as it just works.
Glad you liked it :)
OD-1, DC-2 and a DM-3
Cheers!
SG/ marshall SV20H with 212 cab with scumback speakers /maxon AD9 pro + delay / R.C. Booster / mad professor tiny orange phaser ROCK & ROLL ! Well I am in my mid 50's you should know
Cool :)
Wow you actually replied thank you so much man I know you're busy with being a husband maybe a father and a guitar player and life in general by the way I'm digging my SV 20h but I still love my Marshall class 5 through scumback speakers that is
@@sglee4708 No problem. I try to answer to everything. Sometimes I don't have time, but mostly I manage to make time for it. As the channel grows I know I won't be able to keep it up.
Strat, '68 custom princeton, dunlop echo plex,Ibanez ts808, and a dejavibe cs univibe. I too am a simple man. 🤪🤔
Simple is good :)
I have the monoprice version of this amp. It’s awesome and loud!
Yep :)
Love the Mexican looking acoustic in the beginning :')..
:D
My Ibanez 76 les paul (tweaked out and super charged because I´m a lefty)
Bugera v22 with tube changes - Pre amp Tung Sol 12AX7 and Mullard EL84 power tubes( maybe change the speaker to a Celestion
Boss Chorus CH-1, Cry Baby GCB 95 and Big Muff ( I´m a bit old school)
Rock on dude .
Love your videos they are very honest.
Thanks Michael :)
Hey Elmo.
Wondering if you've done any vids maybe how you used AxeFx in your live setup when you used to do so? Did you use a power amp and cab, or use it with 4 cable method or just for? Man, I wish I could find an inexpensive modeling unit that had say 3 or 4 amp models and just basic effects that felt like a real tube amp and sounded close enough. It would be so much easier than carrying an amp and pedal board and guitars around to gigs or rehearsals and to jams.
Spring is in the air here after we had two snows in a row of about 8 inches ( 20 c) ...Take care sir.
I did both. First I used a powered monitor, and later I used it with the Marshall (4 cable method).
You could get one of the first generation Axe-FX units. I got one for 400€.
@@MrPolevaulter Are you speaking of the AxeFx ultras? I've never found one that cheap to be honest.
@@hoosierdaddy2308 No, the Standard.
@@MrPolevaulter Oh. Ok. Thanks sir.
Commenting before watching: is it a Marshall Plexi, a custom mahogany strat with YJM fury pickups, a Fender Yngwei Malmsteen Overdrive, Delay, and a tuner? EDIT: You tricked me! Haha. Mine would probably be my Gibson SG, my Marshall DSL40, my Klon KTR, my Wampler Ethereal, and probably a tuner if I were playing live.
Yes, I'm full of trickery :D
/Guitar\ Modded Squier *MY BABY* (with New Fender neck)/Amp\ EVH LBX-Slll /Pedals\Shin'sMusic btm, Mxr Shin-Juku drive, Eventide Rose. Squier- Tex-Mex pick-ups, Blender Strat switch an wiring from *DarkMoon* Very Versatile.

Versatile is good.
@@MrPolevaulter 🤘
Pia , REVV generator mark 3, helix( that covers the 3 pedals). This is my selection because its my Dream rig , all the sonic options I could ever ask for and more.
Well maybe someone to help carry it from place to place once we can do that again.🤘🏽
I'd like to try a Pia at some point. And yeah, there's not been too much carrying going on recently.
Les Paul or a 335, Marshall 1974x, klon/klone, sd1 and a wah
Cool bananas :)
I'd pick any ibanez with a jcm800, a tuner, a klon style overdrive, and a big muff
Who those? Because it's close enough to my current setup that I love. I always wanted a huge setup than made this little small practical setup that I can never get enough of. I might replace the tuner with a compression though.
Cool!
Elmo the magician, why does that amp behind you on your right look like a Dumble?? It's been driving me nuts! Could it be...? Ok if it's one amp, ADA Viper combo or Dean Markley CD-60 (1980s model) Markley sounds great, all tubes, I put Rola Celestion in, and oh it loves every pedal. ADA Viper doesn't need pedals, the overdrive sounds are glorious from blues to killer metal, plus many awesome features. Ok, go with ADA. I love my Flamma Ekoverb, I can play crap and go to shimmering, ambient Heaven, also by Flamma the FS-06 preamp pedal, cheating, because you have 7 classic amps in one small pedal and you can set up a clean and drive channel for each! Thanks much King Elmo, Bruce.
Cheers Bruce! It looks like a Dumble, but it isn't. There is a Dumble in the house though, although I'm not sure it works. It's not mine though.
My custom JEM by Aurora guitars, (Marshall Satriani signature amp, reverb, tuner, booster pedal these I dont have).
The Marshall Satch would be nice to try out :)
Will people choose gear they have played on or dream gear? From gear I actually played on, a 1990s Rivera Combo (borrowed, I think a 55-12) and a PRS EG-2 HSH (owned). Used whatever Boss OD or time effect pedal I had at the time. No point choosing gear I haven't ever played on.
u deserve more subs sir.... here you go... liked n subbed.
Thank you very much :)
@@MrPolevaulter thanks to you Sir, i got the buttercream fender player strat...
Not hard at all to decide with one working guitar amp and only owning three old pedals, an Ace Tone Wah Master, Lafayette Echo Verb and a Heathkit distortion booster. Guitar is kit built SG clone.
Why a volume pedal instead of a boost pedal?
I tried a boost pedal in the loop. It sounded like ass.
Hi Elmo, after thinking about this more, wouldn't you be happier with a Marshall 2525C Combo as your choice? Regards.
Nope, but maybe the SV20C.
Strat and marshall 🤘🎸
Cool :)
Hi..my custom strat. I build, Maple neck custom sanded (thin)custom shop Tex ups, patina body (trashed)boss Me25, marshall orgen 50w
Rock on!
What is your better choice instead of Tube15?
Maybe the Marshall SV20 combo.
Did u ever chech out the eve 5150 chourus evh phaser and evhflanger and the evh wah wah u should get them
Sorry, no.
Elmo, price aside, how do you think that amp stacks up sonically with the Marshall SV20C? Thanks
The Marshall is better, for me at least. But you need the volume pot in the loop of the Marshall. Otherwise it's just too loud :D
@@MrPolevaulter thanks, cheers!
Lurig fråga. Jag använder inte pedaler. Min stärkare är spikad: Laney IR60 genom en Ibanez 4*12. Av gitarrerna hade jag valt min RG9 faktiskt. Som fd basist så är det den perfekta hybriden för min intressetyp (lätt ADD 😅). Men skulle jag gå genom de pedaler jag trots allt ägt så hade en kombo av Boss D3T (delay och eko), en cry baby samt en BOSS compressor (eftersom nio strängar endast mår bra av att tonmobbas lite).
Men det var spännande val, som du hintade. Jag satte strattan (duh) och Strymon. Sen trodde jag nog minikuben skulle hamnat på stärkarsidan. Volympedalen såg jag inte i förväg. Men det är för att jag alltid söker punk-elementet 😁.
👍 Elmo Nyt kuritan Karjalainen 🙌
Jo, den överraskade även mig lite :D
@@MrPolevaulter på tal om extended range-gitarrer så vore det intressant att på sikt se en åttasträngad dyka upp på din recensionskarta. Gitarrtypen har vissa imageproblem då den fått ett ensidigt användningsområde. Men IA, Abasi, Meshuggah är typiska exempel på såna som är kreativa med instrumentet. En frågeställning i stil med: Is this gr8 for the heavy or the progressive? Is there a middleground? Eller nåt. Det tror jag att du skulle kunna ha en bra diskussion kring.
Det saknas en del i gebitet. Bara en tanke såhär på en fredag. Trevlig helg farbror 😊
@@MagisterTuomo Jag har funderat på en 8 strängare. Kan hända att jag skaffar en i något skede.
Can i just use 3 helix effects unit?
Sure :)
Hey what is the model of the Wilkinson u have on your strat?
I forget. That one I think: www.wdmusic.com/wilkinson-tremolo-by-gotoh-details.html
That Amp ,waaaaah , it sounds good I guess they're Slowly Taking over is The Guitar world , Im not sure thats good thing. You do realise they're starting to have a monopoly , its really not my place to say, I haven't used their products. I have too many Good guitars at is.The Loner sounded good, was that through the the cab ?
Sorry about the bad grammar from my last post , I don't know what happened I hope it made sense. Sorry Elmo .
Elmo "I have scallops on my guitar". Cool! I prefer shrimps on mine, but everyone has their personal preference. 😆
I can’t have shellfish with this medication so I’ll wait till this prescription is finished to try the scallops.
Have you ever seen a man eating shark?
:D
Great video dude. I agree the Stratocaster is Brilliant and my go to guitar. In a fire I would grab the strat before the wife.. lol! ... well not really...
Haha :D
the commandment for genuine guitarist:
1 acoustic guitar, 1 woman singer, and 3 beers.
