@@imaxeman69 dude I've never heard a di with no cab ever sound good and mixed well. It's fuckin stupid. People might say it's the engineer and yea that's a factor but I've heard the same engineers do good for a lot of bands but bad for direct in
Hey guys I signed up I didn't know you had to go to your cell phone to sign up I was watching you on TV been watching for the last couple months you guys have a lot of interesting ideas about your and stuff you guys talk more about the pickups for the guitars and stuff when they sound like too they run through I need more I need demonstration
About the High vs Low output pickups i agree with Dave F 1000%! Originally pu's like the Dimarzio super Distortion were made to push.boost the front end of a Non MV Marshall(or other non MV)amp. Young players these day's do not seem to understand this and use a really high output pu's through a 5150. Not saying you cannot use a high output p'u with a 5150 or other high gain head but are you compressing that signal to hell and back! 😁
I agree. Back in the day we needed high output pickups. I still use JB's, Customs and SD's because I've used them for decades and like their tone but I don't dime the gain like I used to either. I've started sticking with lower output stock Gibson pickups that I automatically would have swapped out in the past and having great results especially with the right boost.
@@Darth.Shredder I use both high output and low in different guitars. I like P.A.F's in My R9 and my R7 but my EBMM Axis has a set of custom wound dimarzio's that are phenomenal! The bridge pu is like a perfect JB. In my Ibanez RG 550 I like the PAF pro's by dimarzio and Duncan makes a lot of great stuff so i have a few of his pu's in different guitars. His 59/custom hybrid p'u is great.
Dave’s comment at 1:30:27 is 100% correct. I’ve dealt with A LOT of sound guys who refuse to deal with amps on stage but will tell me that the mix is better without the stage volume. At the same time, when I’m in the audience the mix is horrible and I see the guitar players rocking away because the mix in their IEM’s is loud and clear. It drives be crazy both as a performer and as a listener! Sometimes I wish that IEM’s were never invented!
There is video of Warren saying that when he was at Seymour Duncan shop to voice the RTM pickup, that he was playing through a amp that was not his own and it didn’t have a lot of gain. So the pickup ended up being hotter. Once he played it through his rig he noticed the pickup was way too hot for his liking. He would roll the volume down to use it. So I’m assuming he uses a lower output pickup normally.
I have a dumb question man, about the Joyo Mjolnir maybe you've heard of it. There's a lot of op amps in this thing, I'm wondering why when it doesn't really need it. Also when u jack the front end with 4 compared to stock 1meg it sounds infinitely better. Being tailored to the heavy crowd why would they do this? I realize it's likely nobody knows but I'd like your thoughts if possible. If not, u still rule man and thanks for the great content 🤘
I need you guys to demonstrate what the pickups sound like in your pedals and stuff demonstrate what your amps sound like My demonstrate some stuff man turn your show back to life plus I need to hear it cuz I need to get some new stuff
Phil McKnight phrased it perfectly I think, he says "your guitar picks the gauge strings it likes". I was excited to do a first time string change on a Jeff Loomis Jackson Kelly. This guitar was one of those that you didnt want to put down and I consider myself lucky that I like it as much as i was hoping i was going to. I buy every guitar online based on where i live. So Ive been really liking how 9.5 to 44 gauge feels and sounds, this Kelly had 9's on it. im real bummed out, just doesnt sound as good plus its not as easy to play, usually I cant tell a such a small gauge increase but this guitar just prefers 9's, at least for now.
Another learning session in the books…. well done guys
As a sound guy working clubs, it's always better with real amps. ALWAYS! ! !
Yessir

@mark The pickup of the black guitar above your head is blinking 🙂 - once spotted I cannot unsee it. Any suggestions?
I bought my JEL 20 from motorcity guitar upon release…they are great!! That amp is perfection for me. Thank you Dave!
Thanks Dave and Marc for the shout out! Yes I definitely do bespoke amps
1:29:45 - Please make a short of this. Its gold and I 1000% agree with Dave on this.
When Dave said did you turn your amp on ? I lost it …. We have all been there once or twice…. Lol
28:37 ooohh! I'd love a Jazzmaster in Candy Apple Red. Chris Cornell used a gorgeous '66 with Soundgarden.

I had the chance to buy an Ibanez Explorer from a shop in Nashville for $500 back in 2003.. probably should have. 🤣
Dave listened and his preamp pedal looks great can’t wait to try it
@ Mark, is that an old Carvin guitar above t=your left shoulder, the white guitar?
Warren is awesome. You'll have fun with him.

Love Dave 🤘
I do hope Dave or Vinny make a production version of a 9778 cable because I don't know anywhere to get them
Would love to see jeff bober on here. Dave did the superdrive lead channel design so there is some history
Have you guys had Ben Eller on ? Would love to see him on here….🤘🏼

What exactly is an IRX?
iEM?
@@greendragon2471 "In Ear Monitors"
@@KyleLaulo oh yea fuck that shit. But I totally agree that you need to push air on stage.
What is an IRX?
Well at least u guys have hair . My hair has run away from home .
Gotta get some timestamps guys!

Just got your IRX. Which is the best video to learn best how to use it?
Darryl, who did you order the IRX from? Sweetwater is back ordered. Thanks
@@bringit2ya122 guitar center
The Friedman website has all the info you could need in video format for the IR-X.
You should have on Brian Gerhard from Top Hat amps
Subscriber here. Great channel. Marc, please be aware that your lip smacking and mouth noises are extremely irritating to some people.
Sorry for the question i couldnt manage to send my email question to the proper address

Meh, I had a buddy who had a VL-1002. It was ok, but there are far better and more reliable options available today.
Okay. Last question to punish Dave: Why?
I'm here.
I need you guys to demonstrate what the pickups sound like in your pedals and stuff demonstrate what your amps sound like My demonstrate some stuff man turn your show back to life plus I need to hear it cuz I need to get some new stuff
How does being a subscriber help in the future ?? I’m being serious , I don’t know what that means
