  • You might think the answer is in modern tech. Well not necessarily…
    Welcome to the show! It has been said that Daniel and I, well, aren’t exactly early adopters when it comes to the very most modern guitar tech. There are a number of reasons for that, but a very significant one is that with all the latest gizmology, connection protocols, app registration and seemingly bottomless user interfii*, the will of most Average Humans can be sapped entirely before a single note gets played.
    So let’s just plug into a bunch of stuff and see if we can have More Fun With Less Tech. Is it even possible?
    Enjoy the show…

    I used to plug my $12 guitar into an old shortwave/AM/FM radio cassette player my grandfather gave me... straight into the Line In. It distorted nicely and could record straight to tape ! Hours of beautiful noise.

      Yup. Had a cheap guitar and multi-fx unit(🤫) that I plugged into the mic-in on a hand-me-down hi-fi. Ended up jamming along to CDs of acts like Leftield, Future Sounds of London and other psychadelic styles.
      Think I still have some embarassing Gilmour-esque attempts recorded on cassette somewhere.🙃

    My first 2 years of electric guitar playing I ran into a "Australian Idol" branded karaoke machine that happened to have instrument jack inputs for the mics, and a built in reverb. Probably explains all my favourite tones now.

    • @philipellis7039
      @philipellis7039 Год назад +3

      My kids had a very cheap karaoke machine with a built in echo/delay. Was okay on guitar but absolutely awesome as a blues harp amp, just using the cheap mic that came with it. Instant Chicago 1950s. I did manage to kill it using it like that unfortunately.

    For three months, the only thing I had to plug in to was older sister's portable Cassette Recorder.

    When I was in college, I had a housemate who was big into the tinkering world of guitar. Regularly modded pedals and amps and things of the sort. In the house I lived in, we had a very high end toaster oven that we had won at a bingo night on our college campus. The toaster oven had speakers in it and would read out the mode it was set to and how long was left on the timer. You see where this is going. One night, after a few (perhaps too many) pints, he had decided to play his guitar through the toaster oven. I don't know what mods he had to make, but in a bout an hour he had it going. It sounded closest to that tiny bluetooth speaker played early in the episode, but it was hilarious. Toaster oven part still works, and I believe my mate still uses it regularly (for toasting, not guitaring). Great episode!

    This takes me back! My first guitar amp was a Boss MA-5 Micro Monitor - it was 1982. I took its line out and ran it into my bargain basement, catalog store stereo. I plugged headphones into the MA-5 to turn of the speaker… then DIME’D the MA-5 volume to completely overload the stereo’s input. It was glorious to my 14 year-old ears.

    What a fun episode! Ending is ace😂
    17 years ago I started playing the guitar. My parents got me a western electro-acoustic guitar. After some weeks of playing „dry“ of course I found out that you could plug this acoustic guitar into an amplifier. My sister had a karaoke system which conveniently had a line input. Of course I plugged my guitar into it and suddenly I was able to make louder noise than before. THIS was true POWER! I was learning to play Metallica on the acoustic guitar and suddenly Seek&Destroy sounded actually good (or so I though anyways haha)

    Age 12 I had a mono cassette recorder with a mic you could plug in to talk into.

Thanks for bringing back those memories guys 😍

    My friend and I both plugged our service merchandise guitars into our parents home stereos and radios before we had real amps. I blew up one of the channels on my parents receiver/8 track player, but they never figured out it was me that did it! I eventually figured out how to overload the signal and make it distort way before learning about pedals. Thats how I got the nickname "Mickey", as in Mickey Mouse. My alternate job in our band was Mickey Mousing electronics in order to get them working/do what we wanted them to do. These days, when I'm not Mickey Mousing our guitars, pedals, and amps, I tune electron multipliers for machines owned by NASA and MOOG among others. Thanks for the great show guys!

    Love the video! As a kid I seem to remember plugging my first electric guitar (Satellite LP copy anybody?😅) into the mic socket of the family music centre. By engaging the record & pause buttons (I think!) along with the tape monitor switch & adjusting the recording levels, it was possible to be heard through the 2 speakers. Of course, I may just have imagined all this, because it was a very long time ago...😂

Watching the two of you work your way through a journey of discovery, Dan having moments of recollection of the huge vault of technical know how that he holds and Mick keeping things comprehensible to the viewer. These are the videos I get excited about on the channel.

    I remember using a 3 channel maplin microphone mixer which had just 3 level controls for each mic, it was powered by a 9v battery, into our home stereo system, a Goodmans I think, and turning the mixer up full. It sounded fuzzy and awesome!! I remember learning the intro to Layla playing along with the record!!
    It just makes me think of the saying

    When my family did a road trip from FL to Maine I made a homemade travel amp by soldering an input jack to the play head of an inexpensive walkman knockoff. Add a switch to turn the motor off for battery life. I learned Diary of a Madman in the back seat going up I-95.

    The first electric guitar amps WERE literally radios that ran off dry-cell batteries in the 30s before those first circuits deleted the radio in the tube circuit. Leo Fender (a radio repairman) made some of the first dedicated electric guitar/lapsteel amplifiers.

    This is such a good idea for a video, that I am honestly surprised that it hasn't been done yet. When I was growing up I did exactly this! One thing I found that I could plug into was my home stereo. You would be challenged to find one now day's like the one I had. But it worked!

  • @grahamkelly8299
    @grahamkelly8299 Год назад +5

    I think it’s great if you are travelling and you can’t bring your amp and pedalboard with you, but you have songs you need to learn with solo parts ect. Being able to bring everything you need in your guitars gig bag is pretty cool for that!!

  • @bassnsax
    @bassnsax Год назад +1

    Out of a combination of needing to be able to play silently with headphones and sheer laziness, I've got my guitar plugged into a Snouse BlackBox OD 2 into a DI, into my interface and out to my studio monitors. Works for me! Great video, and I loved to see you both stretch out of your comfort zones, smashing job!
    Matching impedence is super important to getting a good sound - I've got a piezo pickup on my upright bass, and I always run into a combination preamp/high pass filter that converts the 1Meg Ohm signal to 10K (or 100K?) Ohm signal, so I can run through pedals and into a standard bass amp.

    Thanks for the videos, the laughs, and the inspiration.
    Traveling around the USA for weeks at a time in my Kenworth and tractor trailer I use a 10ft lead with 1/4" on one side and 1/8" on other side. I can sit on my bed in the sleeper and plug my guitar directly into my radio aux input on the dash. My MIM Strat has seen all the contiguous 48 and NEARLY every Canadian province bordering the US. I tried the IK Pro and messing around with all the cables and using headphones sucked all the fun out for me. In the 70s I remember plugging into my folks HiFi 1/4" input. When distortion happened and happens now in the truck it is unique. Honestly I wish I had that sound as an option I could achieve at home! (I have a Hotrod Deluxe, Rocker 32, Blackstar HT5R, Bogner Line6 DT50 212, Marshall MG10cd, 11 Rack and rack power amp, Line6 HD500X, original Yamaha THX10 and none of them come with me anymore. Just a guitar and a chord. Keeps me in practice and helps pass the time when sitting at a loading dock for 8 hours or over the weekend in NoWheresVille 1500 miles from home)
    One day I'll pick my first stand alone pedal (instead of hd500 or 11rack) and I expect it will be like the opening of flood gates. Maybe a green pedal? Or an OCD. Or a D&M Drive!

    Amazing. Took me back to 1987. Soldering an aux jack in place of a 1/4" jack and plugging straight into one of the auxiliary inputs on the back of my yellow Phillips Ghettoblaster (D8304, the wonders of Google) to be able to play outside in the summer. I still own the Kramer and still own, and use daily, the Boss DS1 that I abused it with.

    In the early 80's l had no amp. I plugged into the family stereo thru the cassette deck. You had to put a blank cassette in, push play,rec and pause. Then crank up the input sensitivity, it would help with distortion that way. I did this for a while until l finally got a amp.

    Ha, ha, great one!
    Brings back lots of memories of blown-out hifi speaker tweeters, hearing (and seeing the guitar signal on a mini-oscilloscoe) plugged directly into an outdated Electromuographic amplifier (muscles themselves also produces microvolt signals to be picked up by electrodes, so 1+1=...).
    Emergency replace-gigged once with that pocket pod on my buckle... Amazing toy...
    Also remember cross-connecting inputs and outputs of two tapedecks with a DIY switch to reverse recording direction. Wow, flutter and Dolby b/c, produced pumping multitracks that a Deco would be very jealous of. Utterly unusable, but fun.

  • @jonschwieb323
    @jonschwieb323 Год назад +1

    Brilliant. When I was a teenager in the 80s dual tape decks were all the rage. I had one from a brand called Emerson. I could plug straight into it, record a guitar part to a tape (from the speaker through the built in condensor mic), then play back the tape and play along with it. I could even record the overdub, and then do it again and again. A chorus pedal and a distortion (both from Arion) to spice it up. Hours of fun and creativity.

    One of the best RUclips videos I've ever seen. There will be thousands of electrical devices blowing up this weekend as we all try to figure out what else you could possibly plug your guitar into. I'm off to see if I can run it through the car stereo using the USB aux. If I manage it the missus is in the back from now on and the passenger seat is reserved for my strat to make getting stuck in traffic a bit more bearable. Imagine how fun traffic jams would be if they all resulted in an impromptu jam session.

    In 1971 I soldered the wires from the needle line of a record player to a jack and had an amplifier for a year and a half. It was an old hack from back in the day.

    Really digging this episode. Reminds me of plugging my guitar into the soundcard on my parents computer back in high school (1999) and then trying to figure out why it sounded so bad and how to make it work. I recently bought a 90s synth/keyboard and have gone on a little journey of trying to figure out what to listen to it through. Started with the headphones I use for my turntable. Then ran the 1/4" into a DOD envelope filter, a DS-1, a flanger, and cheap delay into a Blackstar modeling amp I had laying around. Ended up finding a used pair of Mackie CR-3 monitors for cheap and am now running the pedals on one side of it for a nice stereo sound. Though now I'm thinking of what kind of bass lines I could get out of that sub in the living room... Always fun to make the most of what you've got around.

    What a great idea, and great video! I’ve been hauling a 212 to family dinners only to barely turn it up. Was thinking about getting a small amp just for those times. However, I have that boss mini speaker, a 9volt battery powered headphone guitar amp and a 1/4 inch to 3mm cable from some headphones. Just tested it and I’m happy with it. I didn’t notice any latency with using the headphone guitar amp (it’s not a digital system). Now I can put the money for a small amp into something more important, a pedal! …. and more 9 volt batteries.

    Ha! Dude I dig it completely. You know today it is almost easier to just a spark or a thr or something like that. Even the Ampero, Valeton, HX devices are pretty much what the young students are getting because they have the feel of an amp and have lots of solutions. Back in the day I had inherited a pioneer stereo from my brother. It did the Revolution guitar tone perfectly. Keep on…

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen you guys have so much fun! My first amplified guitar was a nylon string from my sister’s closet. Enter the reverse headphones turned microphone. One ear piece on the top and the other ear piece on the back. So the headphones have straddled the guitar’s body, and the headphone plug is in the aux input of a ‘70s Panasonic tape recorder with a built-in compressor/limiter. Coolest feedback…ever!

    You can use an old watch as a microphone (the one that plays polytune melodies, uncover the back lid and use the white round "token" it has two connectors - that's your microphone, stick it to your guitar and run cables via jack or if you have cassette player, and connect to the head where it touches the tape..

    I use the A+ CabZone LE IR based Cabinet Simulator. It fits in the palm of your hand. You get 10 of the world's most famous amps cabs including the Vox AC30, Marshall 4x12 & my favorite the MESA Dual/Rec cab. It cost me $100.00 USD and you can put it in your pocket if you want, lol. It is designed so you can even put it thru a open backed combo amp & from the center of the club you are hearing a convincing stack. You can still do a direct to the board thing or record with it or do all 3 at the same time.

  • @Angus.Maclean
    @Angus.Maclean Год назад +1

    This is great for many reasons. It really tells us what the amp is doing. The small options are good for travelling light. This is an idea of what direct to desk would sound like. (Note: Many FRFR & Studio monitors have DSP...even those you thought were purely analogue, so there may be some indiscernible delay from the Tannoy.)
