We’re on the island from Lost… I found the electricity supply, but still don’t understand what that was all about. 5 series (or whatever it was) of my life that I’ll never get back. I’m glad I have a Les Paul & a Super Reverb - at least that makes sense
@user-ri3gh6yb5k The fact that just about everybody predicted the ending almost from the start & they spent years denying it only to pretty much go yeah guilty as charged lol.
I've heard Joe can quite easily smell a '59 burst within a 10,000 mile range. He doesn't go on reverb for gear finds, he just lifts his head and smells the air..
Best comment ever! So true. He would mount a rescue mission but instead of bringing them home, he would bring 6 more amps, 10 more guitars and stay to jam!
What I miss about these kind of videos is you guys being in the store figuring out stuff as you go along. Seeing what inspires you as you see pedals in the cabinet and then making changes. But I also understand that these videos are probably annoying to make for the team. You also probably have more stuff in stock (warehouse) than in the store. But you could add intermissions where you’re on the website at a computer in the store.
This is where I'm at. It feels like getting the old friends back together. Makes me feel warm and happy but also a reminder of how much time has passed.
Yea, mates back together in a room having a jam. Now, if the pub would deliver... It's great to see that the lads that started it all, are back together as the men who are fulfilling their collective dreams. Thanks for sharing that banter with us again. Cheers.
Would love to see videos where they go into the store and pick these types of rigs, those have always been my favourite Chappers and the Captain videos
@@BrowneAmplification aha, that explains all but then again I have a protein and know how good it is so if he took a lot of BBQ Sauce then he is very disingenuous!
I think most of us are striving to find our desert island rig right now. So I think Lee chose a rig that’s true to his history and experience. I think Robb is out in left field. I don’t think that would be his desert island rig at all. Lol, although I do like the utilitarian side of a all chrome or all gold guitar on a desert island! As I get older, I’ve assembled my dream rig because life‘s too short to not have your dream rig. I would take my 1963 vintage Stratocaster with my Mesa, California tweed, and a genuine Klon. 👍😎🌴
If I were to choose, I would go for a PRS Private Stock 513 in charcoal purple burst and an Orange Rockerverb 100 2x12 Combo. Plus a Boss ME90 and get all the tones I want. Nice video as always. I love seeing Rob making videos with the captain again albeit temporarily cause obviously Rob lives in Malta now. But please do more videos together. We're no longer bound by the laws of Covid19.
I think a really big closed back cab, like an 8x10, as long as the closed back is reallly airtight. Then one of those Steinberger guitars that look like a canoe paddle.
robs’ playing has reallt grown on me over the years. he has refined his playing and his sound a lot, he has some impresive dynamic range, and ofcourse I’ve always loved him for his wit 🤣
For me it just doesn't get any better than listening to Lee & Rob play and talk. There have been many great participants in Anderton videos over the years. It has been entertaining and I have learned much. But Chappers & the Captain draw my attention and it is awesome. Thanks guys, you are an unbeatable team in my book.
I actually had to take some "desert island" decisions many times in my life because at one point I was moving to different countries every 6 months or so and I'd buy stuff as I arrived and sell stuff as I left. My favorite Desert rig was the one I had went I lived in london: MIJ Fender Telecaster -> Orange OR 15 with 1x12 cab -> Earthquaker Dispatch Master Delay/Reverb in the loop. I could play anything with that rig: Jazz, blues, rock, sabbath-esque metal...
Watching Lee and Rob together is like going back to when I was a teenager. You are as familiar as old friends for me and for many guitarists, I bet. Despite living in a different country, sooner or later I'll buy something in person at the store. Cheers!
I really love the RD1 amp that Rob designed. I would add a 412 cabinet and a Helix or something similar for time effects. The guitar would be some kind of G&L ASAT or a hollow body jazz guitar with a P90 in the neck position or maybe an Epiphone Casino made in the USA.
I smiled when I saw this thumbnail. Joyous. I totally understand you mostly need to focus your videos on gear you’re selling but it’s nice to see something like this that is just about the joy of playing a guitar you love. ☺️
My Bride allowed an extravagance years ago and I bought a first gen Bad Cat Cub 2 R Old Sampson era tone machine, 15 Watts 1z12 When you put it through the 12 and a side 4x10 cabinet at 4 ohms it sings like angels... 1980 Hard tail Strat and the Bad Cat No pedals necessary but if one was around the Blues Driver would be just fine
I’m bringing a 7 or 8 string prestige Ibanez cus I won’t ever get bored with that. Mesa Rectoverb And the Strymon Timeline looper. Endless levels of fun.
You guys are just stellar. All the other guys are great too, lovely people, but you two together just have that thing, that inexplicable thing, that lights up everything. It can't be explained; it can't be deserved - it's just there.
Telecaster - You can use it to chop down tree, smash open coconuts, or even slay the native wildlife. Twin or Plexi - You can use it to signal for help from the mainland.
I genuinely hope that I can be watching Rob, Lee, Pete and Rabea all the way till we are all old men. The kinda guys you wanna hang out with each week at the coffee shop.
Mine would be 89 fender strat plus deluxe with a line 6 spider jam. The most underrated practice amp known to man. Had a built in 60 sec looper. Like 100 backing tracks that could be changed to any key. Every style drum beat. Separate bass input, Separate mic input. It was the most versatile amp i have ever played
How amazing did it sound as soon as Lee started playing! Soulful, great tone and well played.. I used to be an Ibanez Satch fan 30 years ago but I know which I prefer nowadays.
I never thought I'd see Ibanez do another guitar with toggles for every pickup. I have a Kramer with toggles for all 3 pickups + a bypass switch that just sends the bridge pickup straight to the volume. It's a fun setup.
Amp: Orange Pedal Baby 100 and a 2x12 Pedal: Boss GT-1000 Core Guitar: Some custombuild Super Strat that can take anything, so no wood, Carbonfibre, Aluminum etc. instead and with a DP 100 as close to the bridge as possible.
Love these guys when they're together... just the best! How do you not click on this? Coconuts... indeed! I'm hoping the island has electricity... but I do understand this is a Fantasy Island sort of thing... haven't yet watched the whole thing... I can't wait! 😎🤩🎸❤️🤘
My current rig, truthfully! It really goes where I want it to for the most part. I say “most” because I’d like for main guitar to have a trem and a coil split, and I would like for the effects on my amp to be placed in front of the preamp as opposed behind it-I’m using a Grandmeister 40 DLX and it’s absolutely phenomenal. I missed being spoiled by my old Triamp MKII and this lil thing totally satisfies that
I'd say one of those carbon fiber ones to deal with humidity, but prolonged UV exposure will likely degrade the resin. Kind of an obscure guitar, but I recall that Gibson had the cs-336 and cs-356 for a while, which were the same shape as the es-339 semi hollow, but the body and sides were carved from a big single block of mahogany, rather than being made from thin wood veneer like an acoustic or traditional semi-hollow. Seems like it would be robust enough to survive the rest of your life on a desert island, but also have enough resonance the you could hear yourself play
Lovepedal Purple Plexi was mentioned. That is a seriously great pedal. As are all Lovepedal pedals. And their pedals are really affordable for what they are. That is all.
I have my desert island rig which is a Fender Stratocaster (1973) loaded with Dimarzio HS3 in the bridge position & 2X HS4'S middle & neck positions.This guitar also has Stainless steel jumbo fretwire (21 of them) & my spec custom compound scalloping which means frets 1 too 5 aren't touched & frets 6 too 11 are only scallopped on the trebble strings & frets 12 too 21 are scallopped all the way (shallow scallops!!) & the tuners are gotoh locking hight compensation & a brass nut!!!!! My amp is a mk 2 Marshall superlead 50 watt head & a Marshall base (flat front 4X12" loaded with 75 watt Celestion's!!!) & my pedalboard is a Dunlop crybaby wah,Boss TU2,MXR Phase 90,Boss SD1,Ibanez CS9 & 2x Boss DD2'S. That is what I've used for well over 40 years!!!
Both of those rigs sound fantastic, and very much capture the essence of their respective players. Rob's sounds like epic arena rock, and Lee sounds like the perfect tone for an intimate pub show. Now if Browne can only combine those pedals (Carbon x Gritador??) I'd be on board for that desert island pedal.
I saw the MacGyver episode where he build an electricity-generating windmill by using palm trees and coconuts, so at least we know the need for electricity is covered.
Being a rather long in the tooth classic rock type of person I would choose Lee's rig all day long.A beautiful vintage tone.You can hear the nuances of different pick ups and the Les Paul tone controls.If you are a high gain type of shredder then Rob's choice of gear is the way to go although I don't think the choice of gear is so crucial.
Guitar: Fender Stratocaster Amp: Marshall JCM800 or Vox AC30 Pedal: Boss OD-1X (One of my very first guitar pedals and my go-to in terms of gain as well as one of my favourite guitar pedals in general) or Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi
The highest end Positive Grid amp, a PRS custom with split coil and a floating bridge, and an expression pedal. (We're assuming a massive supply of strings here) Endless tones to keep me busy for a lifetime.
I love the Satch sig Ibanez - I have one (the cheap one, obviously), but they get really uncomfortable if you play sitting down. Those curves mean it cuts into your leg after a few minutes.
Lee, your rig reminds me of the late, great B.B. King. At one time, he favored Gibson guitars into Fender amps, although I think his rig was his ES-355-based Lucille into a Twin Reverb or something like that. I also find it interesting that you both were able to express yourselves in your respective rigs.
If price wasn't a concern, my desert island rig would be a Marshall Silver Jubilee 100W head and matching 2x12 cab, a Collings I-35, and a Dunlop Justin Chancellor JCT95 fuzz-wah. My affordable desert island rig consisting of gear I actually own would be an Orange CR60, an Epiphone ES-339, and a Dunlop Justin Chancellor JCT95 fuzz-wah. My realistic, electricity-free desert island rig would be one of those large, hollow-body jazz guitars with only a single, floating pickup in the neck position. I don't have any specific brands or models in mind since I only own solid and semi-hollow electrics. However, the occasional times I check out the acoustic guitars at guitar stores, I tend to prefer the feel and the look of those jazz guitars over full-blown acoustic guitars, and they are just as loud unplugged more or less.
4x12 mesa boogie cab evh 5150 120watt head and probably the Jeff Loomis Signature Schecter from when he was in Nevermore. Oh and some OD/Reverb/Delay pedals
For me it would be Guitar : American Ultra Telecaster Maple Fingerboard In Cobra Blue Amp : Tone Master Pro with FR-12 Active Guitar Cabinet Pedal : Mission Engineering Expression Pedal
The "on - off switch for each pickup" was done by Schecter on their 'Dream Machine' Strats in the late 70s. They were on-off-on three way switches for the coil tapped pickups and allowed 26 different sound combinations. Watch Dire Straits Alchemy Live for all the Schecter Dream Machine goodness.
Interesting picks. I’ve been sort of obsessed with the Tonemaster Twin Reverb ever since y’all did the blind amp comparisons a couple weeks back. Though I haven’t actually bought one (yet), I might pick that for my desert island rig. The power attenuator alone would allow me to get that cranked tube amp tone without upsetting the natives. 🤓🎸👍
The whammy bar definitely held me back while learning guitar through the 80s. Learned all the hair stuff but definitely held back on real guitar. Hate to say "real" guitar becuase that's all real too but you know what I mean.
We’re on the island from Lost… I found the electricity supply, but still don’t understand what that was all about. 5 series (or whatever it was) of my life that I’ll never get back. I’m glad I have a Les Paul & a Super Reverb - at least that makes sense

@user-ri3gh6yb5k The fact that just about everybody predicted the ending almost from the start & they spent years denying it only to pretty much go yeah guilty as charged lol.
Do it Flintstones style and plug it into an electric eel.
I want to give away the ending... just to save others from getting Lost on that deserted island!😆😂😆🤣😂
Hmmm...a super clean '59 lester, and a super clean '59 fender twin, so bonamassa would sense their presence and mount a rescue expedition.
You see the method behind my madness :)
I've heard Joe can quite easily smell a '59 burst within a 10,000 mile range. He doesn't go on reverb for gear finds, he just lifts his head and smells the air..
Best comment ever! So true. He would mount a rescue mission but instead of bringing them home, he would bring 6 more amps, 10 more guitars and stay to jam!
Fender Super Reverb
Regardless of what type or brand - you have to call your guitar Wilson.
Is it Gibson Wilson or Wilson Gibson?
😆😆

😂
agreed
Our job is to overstate the obvious.
To be fair, I AM the world's most boring person.
We might be boring, but we don't waste days stranded on a desert island looking for a plug socket 😜
Lee is such a brilliantly understated, tasteful player and his vibrato is perfect.
I love when Chappers drops by. It's like a visit from an old friend. And I also love Pete's offscreen commentary :P
This is where I'm at. It feels like getting the old friends back together. Makes me feel warm and happy but also a reminder of how much time has passed.
He's back next week too!!
@@andertons WOOHOOOOOO!!!
Yep, and over the years he's become (gasp!) more mature and less goofy. Now the goofy one is the captain. Things do change, I guess. 😂
The vids with Rob have been so enjoyable lately. Always great to see him come back.
He's getting his mojo back!
Yea, mates back together in a room having a jam. Now, if the pub would deliver...

Same! I miss that
Huge win for Browne. The Gritador and Protein both sound so good
If only you knew how much Kansas BBQ sauce we had to send to Pete to make sure they both chose Browne pedals...
@@BrowneAmplification aha, that explains all but then again I have a protein and know how good it is so if he took a lot of BBQ Sauce then he is very disingenuous!

Great vid. I think I would be ship wrecked with a Vox AC30, Fender Tele AP II and a Jam waterfall Chorus pedal.

Rob is smart. He can use the reflection off that Ibanez to signal the plane to come rescue him off that island!
You guys are just stellar. All the other guys are great too, lovely people, but you two together just have that thing, that inexplicable thing, that lights up everything.
It can't be explained; it can't be deserved - it's just there.
That les Paul clean sound is unbelievable
les paul/super reverb is a very under rated match you rarely see , i almost always see a strat used with a super reverb ..
Telecaster - You can use it to chop down tree, smash open coconuts, or even slay the native wildlife.
Twin or Plexi - You can use it to signal for help from the mainland.
it's a joy watching Rob play.....I'm pretty decent, but I most definitely can NOT due what you due...........jealous, I admit it.
I know it’s been mentioned before, but man, props to the video editor(s) for these vids. The in jokes are hilarious and I am here for it
I genuinely hope that I can be watching Rob, Lee, Pete and Rabea all the way till we are all old men. The kinda guys you wanna hang out with each week at the coffee shop.
Loved this and always love seeing Rob and you, like a double act
My rig? My ES-335, My JTM-45 and 1960TV cab. The pedal is my Source Audio Collider.
Jumping Jiminy!!! Never play anything but your desert island rig! The feeling that's coming through RUclips right now is incredible!
Mine would be 89 fender strat plus deluxe with a line 6 spider jam. The most underrated practice amp known to man. Had a built in 60 sec looper. Like 100 backing tracks that could be changed to any key. Every style drum beat. Separate bass input, Separate mic input. It was the most versatile amp i have ever played
How amazing did it sound as soon as Lee started playing! Soulful, great tone and well played.. I used to be an Ibanez Satch fan 30 years ago but I know which I prefer nowadays.
I could live with Lee’s rig for sure. But I would probably go with a delay pedal instead. Something with tons of features like Boss or Strymon.
I never thought I'd see Ibanez do another guitar with toggles for every pickup. I have a Kramer with toggles for all 3 pickups + a bypass switch that just sends the bridge pickup straight to the volume. It's a fun setup.
Mine would be a Fender Hotrod with a Univibe and a Fender strat. Would suit the sound of the waves hitting the shore.
Captain’s LP through a Super was awesome. Gold Boy was intriguing. Felt all the tones were decent, but that LP into the Super had it!

Guitar: Some custombuild Super Strat that can take anything, so no wood, Carbonfibre, Aluminum etc. instead and with a DP 100 as close to the bridge as possible.
Two cracking rigs guys, but the cap just it with the two items he chose, fab tones from the Lester and fender amp.

more of these please you and rob still the best duo!!!
The only problem is, will the desert island have electricity? So, my question is I guess which acoustic guitar can handle months on a desert island?
Solar panels from the ship wrack.
I'd say one of those carbon fiber ones to deal with humidity, but prolonged UV exposure will likely degrade the resin.
Kind of an obscure guitar, but I recall that Gibson had the cs-336 and cs-356 for a while, which were the same shape as the es-339 semi hollow, but the body and sides were carved from a big single block of mahogany, rather than being made from thin wood veneer like an acoustic or traditional semi-hollow. Seems like it would be robust enough to survive the rest of your life on a desert island, but also have enough resonance the you could hear yourself play
You’ve got electricity but no internet lol
If they are going to ship you gear but not rescue you, ya there probably electricity on the island :)

ES-335, Bassman, and a Hall of Fame.
The highest end Positive Grid amp, a PRS custom with split coil and a floating bridge, and an expression pedal. (We're assuming a massive supply of strings here)
Endless tones to keep me busy for a lifetime.
Chappers really cooking in this episode.
I love the Satch sig Ibanez - I have one (the cheap one, obviously), but they get really uncomfortable if you play sitting down. Those curves mean it cuts into your leg after a few minutes.
And with the les paul you will never be bored...you will have to tune it every 2 minutes!!!
Gibson C/S Les Paul, Friedman Dirty Shirley and a Strymon Volante should just about do it!

Though I haven’t actually bought one (yet), I might pick that for my desert island rig. The power attenuator alone would allow me to get that cranked tube amp tone without upsetting the natives. 🤓🎸👍
My list : 1.Boss Katana 200W, 2. PRS DGT SE, 3. Boss TU3 looper pedal.
Dessert island... I'm going to take something I've Always wanted to try😵💫...
Rob's rig wins hands down. That Ibanez is awesome
Rob is quick to dial in the badcat 😂 whilst talking in the interview 😎😂😎
Wow, this Ibanez SINGS! If I were Rob, I'd go back home with his guitar. No matter if it's so expensive. :D
Great stuff as always… Lee’s rig sounded lush
My desert island rig would be a PRS Custom 24 with a Mesa Boogie Mark V 25 watt head with a 4x12 cab and a Strymon Flint in the FX loop
The whammy bar definitely held me back while learning guitar through the 80s. Learned all the hair stuff but definitely held back on real guitar. Hate to say "real" guitar becuase that's all real too but you know what I mean.
