      eric cartman What are you trying to say? i answered to a comment which basically said that any tone would sound shit in these circumstances, but i still thought that the tone is shit, not the recording quality. i didn't even mention his skills and you come at me like i had said that he is terrible.

    Fender amp in a school gymnasium... what a sound.

  • @martinkuliza
    @martinkuliza 8 лет назад +25

    hehe Music Teacher was funny
    umm, yeah guys, this is one of those amplifiers that takes time to warm up
    it has cylinders in the back hehe.... Cylinders. yeah right
    ummm.... TRANSISTORS, it has TRANSISTOR TUBES dude , not Cylinders
    hence the name TRANS TUBE AMP
    hence Transistors Amplify
    hence this is an amplifier that Uses Transistor Tube Technology
    hence they are Transistors that are used to Amplify the sound
    not cylinders

    • @bryand.5240
      @bryand.5240 7 лет назад +2

      Martin Kuliza although they are not cylinders, they are also not transistor tubes, just tubes or valves, also, TransTube is Peavey Tech, not fender, TransTube is transistor technology(meaning solid state) that uses MOSFETs to emulate the sound of an overdriven valve

    • @martinkuliza
      @martinkuliza 7 лет назад

      Mr. Señor i agree they are not cylinders they are transistors
      so.. to strip away guitar tech talk,
      they are transistors.
      now, i admit, i've never used Peavey other than a casual play in the guitar shop,
      i was always a Marshall kind of guy
      and Marshall called them Trans Tubes
      but regardless of what the guitar tech talk term is
      teh guitar plugs into the amplifier
      the amplifer amplifies the sound via way of the transistor
      basic electronics fundamentals
      i'm sure you'll agree with me on this.
      be cool

    • @bryand.5240
      @bryand.5240 7 лет назад +1

      Martin Kuliza Marshall never called them TransTubes, ever, that has and will always be a Peavey Trademark
      A tube amp is once again, not a transistor amp, if he's talking about cylinders that need to warm up he's talking about valves, not transistors, valve amps need to warm up, transistor amps do not, they are not the same thing, a transistor amp is a circuit board, a valve amp uses valves to amplify sound, polar opposites

    • @martinkuliza
      @martinkuliza 7 лет назад

      Mr. Señor ok, fair enough i'll look into that, but what i remember is, when i was buying Marshall Amps (technically speaking) i suppose i rememberd it, because thats what the sales reps said
      but, there is no question that i got told by Brash's city store Reps and Anthony's Music in Town hall and a few other stores, that when we talking about Marshall amps
      they definitely siad they were Trans tubes,
      now. maybe the sales dude, had it the wrong way around and i picked up false info.. fair enough
      but regarding transistors
      Transistors require time to warm up
      that's been common knowledge since transistors were invented
      and that's what i was referring to

    • @bryand.5240
      @bryand.5240 7 лет назад +2

      Yep, transistors don't require any warm up, they'll sound exactly the same in a freezing room as they will in a hot room after being used for hours, a valve amp in a freezing room can take 15-20 minutes to get the tubes hot enough to use
      Valve amps require a lot of maintenance, which is why a marshall transistor head can go from being a $400 amp at its release to a $100 amp a few years later, vs a tube head that costs $2000 and maintains its value

    Excellent playing for 13. For the guy who said," Um he skipped a lot of notes"... the intro says 'in the style of Eddie Van Halen'. I've been playing for 30+ years and I remember when Eruption first came out in '78... the kid did fine.

    @wrdlmbrt1956 3 года назад

    The amp is Fender "Tube" amp. I couldn't tell which Model of Fender Tube amp ... Fender makes quite a few models of Tube amps! The "Cylinders" as he called them are Glass Tubes... just like the TV's had back in the 50"s and 60's! I use to have an Old Ampeg Tube amp back in the early 70's! When he said ..." The amp takes about 30 seconds or so to warm up! " ... which is correct but one thing he didn't mention is there is a "Stand by " switch in the back that allows the player to turn the amp on and flip the switch to "Standby " which allows the Tubes to warm up and stay warmed up. Then when the player is ready ... he turns the "Standby " switch in the "Off" position and that allows the sound to come out of the speakers. The best thing about a Tube amp is the "Hotter" the Tubes get ... the amp gets louder and you get that "Overdrive" distortion effect... without a distortion effect pedal!

      I said his tone was bad. Never commented about his playing ability, because that's not something worth criticizing for a 13 year old. Although I could definitely play this better if you want to go that route.

      it's a fender amp, not to mention it's in a gym, the worst place to get a good sound loll
      but yeah seems like the classic too much gain n scooped mids
      he will learn eventually to dial better tone. we were all at this stage once, I admit it lol

      Gah quit your bitchin, probably can play it better. Fact is its a kid with a amp that sounds just damn fine. Uppity people man, appreciate some damn talent from the youth who still listen to real music, this generation listens to music so "terrible" you don't know.

    Wow, who gives thumbs down to a thirteen year old kid? For his age he is really good. He had errors, but cut him some fuckin slack.

    Its so annoying how everyone on RUclips can talk crap, but none of them offer to post their own playing. Its because they cant play. Whether its spot on or not, thats not thepoint. The point is he had the guts to post it no matter how it sounds. For 13, he's got the dynamics, and he has the desire to play.

    It's a lot more impress because he doesn't have a whammy bar on the guitar so it's a lot more of a struggle I'd think but still great performance!

      Yeah you can see him pushing the neck of the guitar away from the body. It's like an equivalent to a wammy

    he's 13 guys, give the kid some respect... how many of you were at that level at that age?, yes he's nervous, and yes he's trying to impress by playing fast the wrong way, but hey, it's still young!
