@@AtomMotherHeart It pleases me no end that the reputation of those things has been originated. I remember people getting snobby about them in my thrash band in the 90s, but I was gettting some brutal tones out of that thing soooooo fuck em. I grew up on that pedal and it'll always have a spot in my heart, even if its just as babbys first distortion pedal.
Can confirm. I have a vintage solid state Vox Pathfinder (it's a 60s V1011) and it has a beautiful clean sound that works very well with a distortion pedal. it may only have an 8 inch speaker, but it has a great low end that you wouldn't expect from its size.
I'm a guitar player, but hot damn that ending track that drummer is on fire, as well as the guitar player has some serious good chops ! 6:55 for thoes who want to know, my God he's in the pocket! Clean double kick,... Perfection!
I personally would love to see old Bass amps brought out next, and learning the history, maybe even the first marshall amp that dates as far back as Pete Townshends or the VOX amps they used
@@TheNocturnalEvil Definitely, and it kicks ASS. I know of a small (now defunct) sort of local death metal (!!!) band from around here that split their guitars through some form of high gain stack AND a blackface bassman. It sounded insane!
Excellent display of what a good tube amp can do. This is why i’m taking an overdrive, a single ended 5w tube amp to meet a 412 today. It sound fantastic, and a good tube amp, a good overdrive and a 412 speaker cab can do so much.
I learned that 30 years ago when my guitar teacher plugged his Boogie 22 into a 4x12 and cranked it. My hair was vibrating and my strat was singing like never before. Happy days...
In all honesty, I wasn't completely surprised that it might have sounded good on metal, given the fact that Fender's Tweed-era Bassman formed the blueprint for the Marshall JTM-45. However, I was quite surprised it would sound THIS good. Very impressed with the result!
I didn’t plug up headphones cuz I was like “well duh, it’s an amp of course you can🙄🙄🙄” but I gotta say this mix cuts very well thru the phone speaker Glenn. I’m genuinely extremely impressed cuz I always watch your vids w headphones or monitors. I’m blown away. If this was a full song for a client it would sound great on any setup which is exactly what you need. Wow. There are so many songs out rn that sound good on speakers but trash on a phone and that’s all down the engineering clearly!
Damn. Not a bad tone at all! I'd wager to say almost anything can do metal if it has the right supporting gear, and the pedal really helped to push the amp into high gain territory. Great video, Glenn.
Love the history parts. As usual, glenn shows that it’s really the cab and how it’s mic’d that matters the most. A Bass VI would be great for this series if you can get a hold of one. Or an electric sitar. That may be the one that can’t do metal.
As new guitarist, I was looking for an amp and was recommended to look for a peavy classic for something small. I got told “yes it’s a tweed amp but has plenty of gain”. It got me thinking that maybe taking something not metal and making it metal may be the best way to come up with something original sounding. Unfortunately I lack skills to do this but I’m glad this video essentially covered the idea I had.
Taking something "not metal" is honestly the way to go imo. Modern metal gear all sounds so boring. Back in the day when all of your music gear was noisy and imperfect, metal guitarist were searching for something "tighter" for more technical and cutting sounds. That made sense back then, but we have long since reached their goal, yet we keep getting new gear to make yourself "tighter." Now everything sounds so surgically precise it's boring.
That Guardian of the Wurm tone was super sick but I think this might be my favourite. Glenn you are killing it with the tones these days. Suggestions for other videos : planning metal on filtertron, lipstick pups, . Also would love to see more vintage amps if you can get your hands on them. Finally, I really wanna see you put Ugritones Trve Cab through its paces.
I have various high-gain amps in the other room, but here in the living room I keep a 12" Bassbreaker I got new last year, that came with a Greenback in it. It has all the lushness and old school charm you'd expect from a Fender when doing the clean or just-breaking-up stuff. But for distorted tones, I'm running a Wampler Belle, Ratsbane, and a Fender Pugilist in the front (not at the same time, if I can help it). It takes them all like a champ. It chugs, it chomps, it screams, it fuzzes, you name it. It's a hell of a little amp. And loud as hell.
This might be one of my favorite videos of yours, Glenn. A history lesson, a good story, the usual humor, a before-and-after tone test, and a face-melter of a mix. My only question? Where can a guy get a hold of Mr. Ward to hire him for session work? I see him in so many of your videos and every single time he hits like a freight train while still maintaining finesse, style, and unreal sound, but this episode was something special. Can't wait to see what comes next in this series! Cheers from South Dakota (get me out of here)
That was the thing. The increased "wattage" was to keep the amp clean at high volume. That's why a studio trick is to use a cranked low watt amp with one speaker in order to get the cranked sound without making people deaf.
Gretsch, please!! And that was an awesome sound! Your mixes sound better than some of the "hit songs" on my playlist. So much so that I actually go to your channel when I want to listen to some great guitar / drum tones! Thanks for the content!
Cool video. A buddy has an extremely beat up amp he says is from the mid 1960's, that sounds overly bright and punchy in the upper mids. It's really kind of harsh and unpleasant to use if it's at all loud, even with drums and bass being played. I bought a used (the Misha Mansoor pedal) Horizon Devices Precision Drive, and plugged it in the front (no loop, obviously) and, after about 3 minutes of turning knows, we were shocked at the tone. Many of those old amps can produce some surprises if you give them a try. My buddy was so happy with it he bought the pedal for $50 more than I paid, and told me to consider it a finder's fee!
Lately I’ve watched many a Rig Rundown where a lot of my favorite players (Baroness, Russian Circles, etc.) are playing Fender amps. I bought a Twin for a pedal platform amp and I love the clean and distorted tones I can get via my pedals.
Great video, though I have a small problem with the "metal on a 59 fender"-section of the video. That preamp pedal is based on the preamps of the ampegs used by bands like Suffocation and Dying Fetus. Like, no shit Sherlock, you basically added a high gain preamp circuit in front of the actual preamp. As long as the amp isn't fucked, it's gonna sound high gain.
While I was expecting him to use something to push the amp, I thought it would've been in TS9 or SD1 ballpark... this is a pedal I wouldn't mind having hooked up to an IR loader and straight into the PA.
What a beautiful amp! I'd love one but a real one is unrealistic. Great show and I hope you do many more of these "historical" shows. And WOW! These guys are tighter than a nun's ....!
The clarity on that amp actually makes it pretty damn good for metal truth be told. Sounded really great in the mix. So yes, you can absolutely play metal on a vintage Fender amp.
Reminds me of the time I played an industrial/metal show at the Al Rosa Village. This is the same infamous venue where Dimebag was murdered. I was playing a 1959 Fender Jazzmaster, with a 1965 Fender Bandmaster, with a Pedaltrain Pro full of pedals. Every other band had typical "heavy" rigs - black pointy guitars and Dual Rectifiers. Folks kept coming up after the gig to asking wtf I was playing, and how it still sounded so huge. It was a very different rig than metal players were assuming could sound huge and heavy.
You can't owe all your growth and success to us viewers. If you didn't constantly release quality, informative, and sometimes just fun content there would be little for us to champion. Your growth all returns back to yourself, and humble you may be I think you should accept that. You do great work. You're a great engineer. You're a good shit-talker.
I don't relate to metal at all but I really enjoy these videos. I'm guessing I'm not alone in this. No disrespect to the metal world where a lot of the players show incredible skills.
You gotta love vintage tube amps, they just have so much personality in their sound and as glenn just showed u can do pretty much anything with them. Pretty cool!
I have a PRS Archon 100 head and 25 combo, Orange Rockerverb 100 MKII, access to my friends' Marshall JVM210, Fender Bassman, Fender Twin Reverb, Crate Blue Voodoo 120, and a few other "vintage" amps that I know little about. After doing this band stuff for a couple of decades I'm of the opinion that all you need is a decent sounding, single channel, clean tube amp and ANY guitar that stays in tune with a good setup to make amazing recordings. Pedals are so good in today's world that you can legitimately base your entire sound around a couple of them you like and it will translate with most amps and guitars. I love my amps, but there is no reason to spend that much money on an amp unless you just want to. Definitely not a necessity. Thinking back, I think I saw a video on a little one channel Rev amp with Two Notes tech built in on this channel that seems to drive the same point home...
Gleeeeeeeeeeen! I really like knowing the history of the gear I'm playing through. I think these mini-documentaries are informative and helpful. Please keep up with this type of intertube content. Also, I was expecting you to hate on the SG's...and you gave them a fair shake. Take care!
I liked the part where you completely skimmed over that amplifiers of that era were basically systems developed from stripped down modified existing film projector audio amplifiers circuits and speakers and just rolled with it, as if they just developed guitar amplifiers completely from scratch. Or maybe you were just trying to withhold the secret that certain models and vintages of talkie style film projector speakers are the bees knees for low wattage tube amplification for guitar. I’m particularly fond of the Bell And Howell Filmosound 179 models. Even being 80 years old, they sound and work phenomenally I have a video on my channel about them if you wanna check it out.
That 59’ Fender amp looks and sounds so good. It definitely looks great for its age, I realize it’s not very original but that amp has been played and gigged for many many years so I wouldn’t expect much original stuff to survive, still have the 2 prong power cord tho….. that will be fun to get shocked by like Glen said
I've got a Fender blues junior amp in loan and make no mistake, pared with a boss Ds1x pedal this amp is a metal monster. Fender amps can be great for metal

GLEEEEENNNNN!!!! I think a great tutorial for upcoming producers, engineers, and guitarists would be a look at dirt pedals. I've worked with some guys who couldn't understand why a Tube Screamer couldn't give them that Mesa sound. A look at the differences between distortion, overdrive, and fuzz would be great. I would look at the industry standards (Tube Screamers, Boss DS1, and Heavy Metal) and pedals that can get you a wide variety of sounds. The Wampler Sovereign has been my "ride or die" for years now as I'm able to dial in just about every tone I need with it.
"Can you play metal with a classic 60-70's rig (fuzz into loud amp) ? " I'm a regular user of this kind of sound, but I'm not into modern metal, nor am I in a band, so I really wonder how would it hold in that scenario ! Anyway, great vid, as always and cheers from France !
if you would like some suggestions: a Rickenbacher (6 or 12 string, though the second might be a bit much) a Gretsch (bonus points for the big hollowbody without feedback) a Danelectro (those lipstick pickups might be the next 60/81 ;-) a lapsteel of some kind... Roland Jazz Chorus (the cleans are famous, but do they handle dirt) speaker size shootout (10's and 15's were far more common back in the 50's/60's if im not mistaken) Vox AC amps (they definetly rock but do they metal?) love the channel Glenn, keep up the good work :-)
Definitely enjoyed the history and would like to see more of those! You should check out some newer Baroness stuff (Gold & Grey) they’re running Fender guitars into Fender amps and get some rad rock/metal tones
Hello Glen! I think what you do is great, sharing so much knowledge. I wish there was a channel like yours, oriented to live metal sound. I mean, many times you need to end up setting the sound and doing lots of the live mixing when you start. And the way you process things live is different when you have to work very quickly, with different bands playing small gigs. Are there any youtube channels about that you may suggest ?
Given that pedals exist I think most amps can be used for at least some kind of Metal. As long as you plug in to a good one that is.

we used to play on Peavey with a Superstat for distortion. But also consider some used multi fx pedals to find the tone and playability you want.

Oh. My. LAWD. that clean tone is soooo, lush! As a guy who likes all tone, from clean to super saturated, this amp sounded GREAT. And when it was being driven hard, the articulation was amazing.
I think a real test would be to put it up the Soldano SLO100 playing the same piece of music, because I am interested if the articulation would be the same.
A lot of high gain amps, to me, seem to get muddled, especially if you multitrack guitar parts.
I prefer to hear the articulation and the actual rhythm being played, rather than a pile of gooooge just assaulting my ears.

Hello Glen! I think what you do is great, sharing so much knowledge. I wish there was a channel like yours, oriented to live metal sound. I mean, many times you need to end up setting the sound and doing lots of the live mixing when you start. And the way you process things live is different when you have to work very quickly, with different bands playing small gigs. Are there any youtube channels about that you may suggest ?
