That was one of my favorite demo tracks I have heard in your channel. I always enjoy them but whatever that guitar brought out of your hands was super fun to listen to on this one. 🤘🏻
Some say a dark-eyed, nubile girl preferential to nibbles and fine fretting takes over his days, but she's dead set against pinch harmonics and shredding because a good downbeat will lead to a shattering climax. And his attachment to roasted maple has made it all the way to the syrup on his pancakes, but he hasn't made the leap of logic to mahogany. The man! The Legend! Der Fish!
Hands down, my favorite of your demo tracks. Completely sick. My use case for this would be as the ultimate gig insurance… bring this as a backup guitar, and it’s also your backup pedalboard. Hell, if your amp went down you could just go direct to the desk, and there’s your whole rig. I wonder if that audio cutout at bootup is also there when switching presets, though… that could be a problem.
Needs some perfection to use it on live gig. For me, that's the aim on building this kind of guitar. The time gaps on the vol is the main problem, when it's fixed, it'll be a good for a live gig
I got one of these a few weeks ago. The FX are ok, but I don't use them that much. I like the plexi model, so I use that. I set up 4 basic amp/drive tones and use an external delay/reverb pedal when I go direct. That works great for a lightweight flyrig. What really amazes me though is how nice this guitar plays. It's worth getting one even if you never use the FX processor. I'm tempted to get a 2nd one just because I like the actual guitar so much.
Ok, this thing is cool in theory, but I have a few questions! 1) How soon will you do a pickup swap? 2) are you locked into an HSS or can you swap in any pickup arrangement without ruining the functionality? 3) Will new pickups ruin it's ability to simulate other guitar types? Would it improve? 4) would it be possible/worth it to pull the hardware out of this and drop it into any other guitar 5) would I be able to buy just the hardware if I wanted to do #4?
This looks like it would be fun to play with and might really be a great recording instrument. I probably won’t use it live for gigs but my live rig is a guitar and amp you could have bought new in 1960, I even used a tube echoplex and reverb unit before I got tired of lugging around the extra weight. I’ve went to “modern” 70’s analog effects. I love modern technology for recording and at home though. Yeah I guess I’m weird.
2:30 the "big yellow warning sticker" says: removing the pick guard or the "intelligence box" can cause product malfunctions.(which you have already done) :)
A year on, have you done any mods to it? Did opening it up wreck the effects unit, or is that Mooer being overly cautious? I have a vision of transplanting the effects into my favorite Strat. It already has the side-mount jack. I'd have to get a custom pick guard made, but it might be cool.
@@harry_mair That's not accurate. The old Variaxes--I have the first model--had only guitar models, not effects. Not sure what you mean by "all the power was in an outboard computer module." There was no outboard computer module. It was all inside the guitar. There was a power supply that was outboard, but it was not a computer module and had nothing to do with the guitar modeling.
Dude imagine that but modded to the standard of this channel. Better pickups (something clear and neutral) Better bridge Locking tuners Nut by the nutmasters Oof that'd be sick
Since this is a practice guitar with build in multieffect, the basic question is - does the distortion sound good on headphones? If not - in my mind the whole concept will remain just an interesting toy, not a serious alternative for home practice.
so you mean it is not so good in live because you hardly can use its built in effects practically (it turns off)? I am curious of its acoustic guitar sound. Actually it has no guitar synthisizer, right? I can see a downside: the tremolo is the bad old screw in style. How wide is the neck at nut? Tks
No delay switching between presets. I’ve had one of these two weeks now. The nut is crap the tuning machines are crap but hold tune well enough. The case looks ok but is very flimsy and cheaply made. Everything else however is on par with an American strat in terms of feel and quality. The only reason I’ve not got the nut replaced is I can’t put the thing down. Also I don’t get the buzzing when I charge it. May be because I’m using a U.K. plug and U.K. plugs have better grounding than US ones or maybe they fixed the charging buzz.
Hey, how long you can play the guitar till the battery will be discharged ? Could you charge the guitar from the power bank and play simultaneously? Is there any signalization of the empty batery? Could you load in your own IR? How fast is a preset switching? Is the output symetrical ? I am thinking about posibility to play directly to PA with this (pros and cons) ... Thx
I have a strat that looks like that, but it's just normal. Next thing you know they'll make a guitar that plays itself and you just stand there and hold it.
I'd still get guitar I like and some multieffect separately. No need to have all the presets/effects behind one button. Paul davids reviewed that new midi guitar recently it was cool consept (but pricey)!
This is kinda like that vox that came out a while ago. I cannot see well enough to us apps (I also cannot see what the knobs on my amp) I do like that more guitar stuff as rechargable
Hunter, I’m gonna be honest, I really think you need to spend more time with this guitar. It’s very cool, but I think once you get it set up and feeling good I think, as a studio tool, you will really like it. It’s kinda like a Line 6 Variax but without the altered tuning. Thing is, it would be a cool studio tool, but because of the fact you could just grab a guitar and amp and play a show, the cut out when switching, would hold it back. And from what I hear, I think you could find better effects that aren’t built in, so what purpose would it actually serve? So, maybe someone starting guitar, and wants to get a super simple amp, and just have every sound at their disposal. But at the end of the day, I think it’s a cool idea, not perfectly executed, and people would have a better time using a Squire with a Boss Katana and getting a decent foot switch. Great video, I had high hopes when you opened it, like “sweet they are gonna make a cheap Variac” and it just wasn’t that. Not bad, but I do t know that most new guitar players would find it inspiring to keep going and people who are experienced would consider it bad, and not bother. Great video, as always, and love all you do. Thanks.
Looks so good but I prefer the 801 version which isn't on sale and probably will be priced up compared to indiegogo so idk if it would be worth it for the price at that point. Think I might spend the bit more get a dk24 hss charvel and a fishman triple play
To be honest, I would have liked to hear the guitar as just a guitar, with the modeling stuff bypassed AND a more in depth look at the tones from the presets, as well as it pretending to be other guitars. I play Variax guitars and would like to see how it stacks up.
I am 74 maybe I just don't get it. A guitar can last a lifetime or longer. Electronics in a guitar are out of date before the guitar is shipped. This is beyond stupid. If you like an all in one package get one of dozens that have everything in box on the floor.
The whole philosophy around guitars, or especially budget import guitars, has changed significantly so nobody would ever claim these instruments "last a lifetime" - and nobody expects them to. Obviously I can only speculate but I'd say of the countless epiphones of the last two decades, probably only fifth still exists (?) These are the kind of guitars people throw away, beat up at a gig or for a shooting, instead of reselling them.
Exactly, I mean...the simpler the guitar the better. I've got two cheap axes, a SGR C-7 and an Ibanez GRX22 with upgraded pickups, and that's all they got, they don't have fancy robot tuners or built-in presets or anything fancy, they just got wood, strings, pickups and all the basics...why more complicated stuff if you can use a multi effects (i prefer the old ME-25) and tube amps?

WooOOoOOo Friday!!
Freakin awesome! I was eyeballing this as a potential live beast! How is the switching between settings while playing? Instant or aslo a boot period?
TGIF! Anyhoooo... Guitar design never goes too far!.. well the knife guitar that can cut you ehh....but still awesome
Thank god someone’s reviewed this I’ve been seeing it all over my socials
Yeah, that’s a big reason I did the video tbh haha. I got the ads too and was really curious about the concept
Music is Win reviewed it yesterday.
I am so glad you showed us behind the pickguard. I've been looking at these guitars for a while and this has really helped me make make my decision!
Last time I was this early Hunter didn't have a buttload of amps.
So like… very recently lol?
@@agufish Lmfao yes
Agufish has a new upload

I got mad periphery satelites vibes from that demo and im liking it a lot my dude
That fact that you JUST hit 100k astounds me. You're seriously underrated, man. You're the schecter of RUclipsrs, low subs, high quality
That was one of my favorite demo tracks I have heard in your channel. I always enjoy them but whatever that guitar brought out of your hands was super fun to listen to on this one. 🤘🏻
Thanks man! Yeah this guitar brought out some interesting creative ideas, for sure
Yeah, great job Hunter!
i love the bowling for soup riff in the clean demos!
I’d hardly call the demo track bizarre honestly, I thought it was amazing. The rest of your demo tracks are spot on also.
Cheers from Ireland 🍀🇨🇮💚
Eyy my brother
Ayyy my bro

Discord bot broke for a bit with the upload LOL 🤘
Bring back built in bottle openers, dont want more dents on my headstock
I loved how he had his first reaction right before the badass intro
just realized that there aren’t any Les Pauls in the Agufish intro, this is a travesty
Love how you busted out the bowling for soup riffs lol
Bowling for agufish. Seems like an interesting concept and something fun to mess around with. Dig all of the colors and tones /effects you used.
"Is this Smart Guitar the Future? Or will I just play pop-punk riffs from the early 2000s on it?"

EDIT 2: Quintuple! IDK what's going on with the bot XD
lolll gang gang gang gang
8:54 I was not expecting to hear some bowling for soup
Have been looking forward towards learning about this guitar. It’s like a variax and hx effects in one
It's nothing like a variax.
Congrats on 100K subs
Yo Hunter, when are we getting an Agufish Album.. The people needs this homie.. get on it. Congrats on 100K!!
Considering dimensions of the circuit board in a helix, kemper and the like, I'm shocked it hasn't happened sooner.
Thanks for marking it as sponsored, it gives you more credibility than other tubers.
I totally dig the concept.
Thanks for your comment.
Its available for pre-order on Indiegogo now. Not many 15%OFF perks left, get it fast if you like it. :)
8:54 wow I haven't heard that lick in a long time. Now I really need to go back to bowling for soup

Oh whatsup, dude?
@@agufish how’s it going :) I sent you a DM on IG
Cool idea, personally I'd like a guitar with a built-in drop pedal
Been following this project closely, so I really appreciate your honesty about it!
Cool step forward in guitar technology
They should make drop in pickguards with this stuff ngl, I'd buy the hell out of that
thank you you were the only review i saw that included the teardown.
I get ads for these guys all the time on Facebook, been curious to see if they’re any good at all
Ok, this thing is cool in theory, but I have a few questions!
1) How soon will you do a pickup swap?
2) are you locked into an HSS or can you swap in any pickup arrangement without ruining the functionality?
3) Will new pickups ruin it's ability to simulate other guitar types? Would it improve?
4) would it be possible/worth it to pull the hardware out of this and drop it into any other guitar

High interligence?
Lolll something like that
8:53 Girl All The Bad Guys Want!
Did I hear a little American Football/Tiny Moving Parts inspired riff at 7:00? My man is becoming CULTURED!
Bit late but have you seen the new squier affinities? The tele deluxe in burgundy mist looks pretty sick and could be a great mod platform
I see Jeff goldblum... I click... Good job😂
A year on, have you done any mods to it? Did opening it up wreck the effects unit, or is that Mooer being overly cautious? I have a vision of transplanting the effects into my favorite Strat. It already has the side-mount jack. I'd have to get a custom pick guard made, but it might be cool.
I'd like to see a more thorough review on the guitar simulation or better yet a comparison to the Variax if possible.
Hunter my guy. What the everloving heck is this thing, and where can I get 4
I’m wondering if Line 6 will ever do something like this. I have a Helix and a JTV 59 and between those you have a lot of options.
The old variax's used to be very similar originally but it's was early days and I think all the power was in an outboard computer module
@@harry_mair That's not accurate. The old Variaxes--I have the first model--had only guitar models, not effects. Not sure what you mean by "all the power was in an outboard computer module." There was no outboard computer module. It was all inside the guitar. There was a power supply that was outboard, but it was not a computer module and had nothing to do with the guitar modeling.
That Jurassic Park reference was gold!
It should be really easy to make a switch to bypass the effect while it is on.
tbh, effects and built in stuff aside, I think it just looks really good
also what my man dom telonge doing at 9:42?
Dude imagine that but modded to the standard of this channel.
Better pickups (something clear and neutral)
Better bridge
Locking tuners
Nut by the nutmasters
Oof that'd be sick
Wanna see you mod this up! Evertune, fishman p90s? SS frets and locking tuners?
Wow, some Bowling For Soup love! Nice.
Since this is a practice guitar with build in multieffect, the basic question is - does the distortion sound good on headphones? If not - in my mind the whole concept will remain just an interesting toy, not a serious alternative for home practice.
I like these budget guitars that do some weird/interesting/cool features.
so you mean it is not so good in live because you hardly can use its built in effects practically (it turns off)? I am curious of its acoustic guitar sound. Actually it has no guitar synthisizer, right?
I can see a downside: the tremolo is the bad old screw in style. How wide is the neck at nut? Tks
Mooer has been on a roll
the fiddle was perfected in the 1600s, the elec guitar in 1949
*1974 when they did the white Les Paul Custom 😂
@@agufish 53 with the p90 - staple custom perhaps xx
I'll stick with my Variaxe. 🎶🎸
The one in yellow says "DANGER!"
Great video 👍 if you Would use it into a clean amp and make 4 drive presets, is the delay also when you shift between presets on the footswitch ??
No delay switching between presets. I’ve had one of these two weeks now. The nut is crap the tuning machines are crap but hold tune well enough. The case looks ok but is very flimsy and cheaply made.

Hi from India!
How are you Hunter?
When do we find out who won the revv giveaway?
So its basically a Harley Benton ST with a Nux mighty plug built in?
But - you could get a Nux and a HB Fusion Ii for a lot less notes.
Did Hunter just play Free Fallin'?
I wonder how would it compare to the Gibson firebird x and josh from jhs jazz master machine he made
Stainless steel frets?
Great demo. I found the tones lacking overall but who knows what the near future will hold?
I have a strat that looks like that, but it's just normal. Next thing you know they'll make a guitar that plays itself and you just stand there and hold it.
And I would still probably suck! :-)
Do u still need an audio interface to record signals?
