Been a fan of the channel since before I even got my first guitar and amp. You helped me figure out what I wanted and you've taught me so much over the years. It's been great to see your channel evolve over that time and I'm absolutely stoked for all your future content!

At the end of the video you have added something behind the bridge looks like some kind of sponge. What is that?

Unless you want to go American Amp sound. Or blend the two UK / US Amp elements all together

Why not start with a breadboard, test the bias points and stuff, then play through it, and tweak until you get the desired sound, then make it into a pedal?

7:00 Did you use the regular "thrash overkill" preset for this tone? It sounds spot on

Hi. What liquid you used on?

Smart man!!!! I really appreciate your content, Good Sir!. thanks!

Great video!! Users would either mess with the biasing tools, burning out their valves or electrocute themselves to death trying to "Give it a go"! Hilarious!

all the millions of fellows worldwide and this video does NOT have a USA English speaker...i

I really like that finish.

This was a circle jerk for humbuckers. Single coil are great for leads, as well as humbuckers, except single coil is sharper. P90 is a great alternative for rhythm, if you like sharp rhythm. It’s a to each is own variability that makes modding a wonderful experience.. this video was terrible lol

I use a Powerstage 170. How do I wire this for an amp without an Effects loop if I want to place it before and after my dirt/drive pedals? With delay and reverb after. Thanks

the click bait is getting out of hand

I would like it very much!

At $1,400 I guess I’ll just have to annoy my neighbors for now.

You really need too have exceptional hearing to hear any difference,most of us long time players, have blown out our ears ability to hear those high frequencys, in that case the presence knob still does nothing on my amp.

Don't hear much difference just like on my own amp, you really have to have exceptional hearing,to hear any difference,most of us long term

loved your presentation, as always. committed, direct, useful and precise. thank you.

With a classic tube amp I can easily repair most any component. Not so with the new transistor amps.

does anyone know the value of R9 on the pcb? I've got one with this resistor burnt and I'd like to replace. Thanks!

allright then. good overview. now i need to learn how to de-solder & solder

I just bought a dual rail pickup and the construction is wacky: Viewed from the bottom, there is no magnet sitting there between the two rail bottoms. Instead, the coil windings are visible, with the plane of the winds being vertical rather than horizontal. And, it is obvious that it is two coils, perhaps 5mm tall (or wide, depending upon your perspective)...with tiny leads coming out from the middle, where the two coils touch. As it is a humbucker, I presume the two coils have opposite wind directions. But, if there is just a single central magnet, they would not have opposite polarities. However, as follows, I guess the rails do have opposite polarities??? Picture a stacked pickup with the two coils having opposite phases (reverse winds)...but with the pickup turned on its side, so that top & bottom are now left & right sides...with vertical steel rails attached to the central (now horizontal) magnet, left & right. Thus, one rail is magnetically gripped by the South & the other rail gripped by the North pole. BUT, looking at the pickup, in its case, from the top, you'd never know that the construction was not as you described. Have you ever heard of this configuration? I haven't...but, I presume it works!

PRS MT 15 - that thing has a metric ton of headroom

Four countries pretending to like each other hahaha

As long as it takes line level

I'd be interested. :) And while you are at it - could you please show how to make a pickup? Thanks and keep it loud!

what happened to the "rival" make of trems?

using an opamp to essentially duplicate a voltage only for changing the impedance , the so called "signal followers" are also called "voltage buffers" are in guitar pedal world usually described as "buffered" pedals, some purists don't like how the impedance may affect the sound on their particular pickups/setup usually vintage amps that can have their impedance values vary quite a bit and may sound great or less great on partiicular combinations of guitar and amp, but that's the charm about it, that may be more touchy about about using opamp buffers, because it can fuck with your sustain a bit as impedance changes depending on how well or poorly it is designed :D

Terrific explanation! Aside from explaining the context perfectly, not a single umm was uttered. Well done!

Playing an At the gates riff was a cheeky little touch I see what you did there

7:50 TOTALLY TRUE ! BUT NOT WITH EVH LOL !

Вообще не похож, можно взять любой современный усилок.

Greta stuff as always!

Does the energy used for the LED takes away some guitar tone?

Unity gain= “What goes in comes out”

A way I dial in unity gain for pedals I want equal volume whether on or off so I am coloring the sound but not boosting it is to run my looper pedal at the front of the signal chain. This eliminates the variance of trying to set it through guitar given unequal picking and also makes it a lot easier physically to work with the knobs on a pedal for subtle adjustments.

Great explaination BUT at the end you mention someone setting their pedal for unity gain. I promise that there will be confusion when listening to their sound with the DISTORTION tuned off AND when the pedal is turn on but adjusted to "sound the same". I REALLY wished you had shown this.

The only side note i could add though is that you may need to use a bigger amp for stiffer bottom end from having a more capable output transformer. Why bass amps usually have huge wattages is because they would sound mushy. If you down tune into the doom territory C# and lower, or play a 7 string as it has a low B, you will begin to encounter that issue. It isnt uncommon to see 100w and 200w being used through a 212, but turned way down, and a fuzz infront of the amp to boost the preamp signal. However that is a niche issue, and why i use a 30w as a practice amp as its the lowest I can go, whist not getting mushy. Truth be told its lead me into using solid state more for my cleans and using the valve for dirt only

Those pickups sound terrific. I've been a big fan of P90's for a long time. My one specific question is the sound difference (if any) between "standard size" P90's versus "humbucker size" P90's? The latter are really useful since so many guitars are routed for humbuckers and you therefore don't need to modify the guitar body. Is there a tone price to be paid for this convenience, though?

Thank you for your review ... I have one on those now, and I am really satisfied how it is and plays ... The sounds are what I looked for ... now.. Good Tele sounds ... No it is not a vintage - 69 thin-line... I think the first year Fender introduced this model.... But try and find one you can afford ... But it will serve me well .... I have the TE-52 NT as well - and I am not sure witch I like the best.. the 52 is a little darker sounding and I like that .. I have changed to good compensated saddles on both, something I really can recommend....

Id love you to help explain how you can set up your sound including unity gain in a home setting so its ready for a much louder live setting? I will often get my zoom G7ut set so that 2 channels (clean dirty for example) have no discernable difference when "loudish" at home but at practice or live its quite noticeable. The same for expression effects where chirus might be subtle at home but overkill live. I gues that is the same for why my guitar sounds rounded and fairly bassy and full of chug at home but loud it sounds full of mid and like a fart in a biscuit tin. Can you help?

Why do pickups with lower resistances have lower outputs? That seems backwards. If theres less resistance, shouldnt the current flow easier and therefor be higher output? Edit* NEVERMIND! Just remembered Ohms law. For anyone else wondering, its because the output is measured in Volts, and Ohms law states that Voltage = Current x Resistance, so increasing resistance will increase voltage. Or, more intuitively, since voltage is the electric pressure or potential energy of the current, it makes sense that increasing the resistance would increase this pressure. Second edit* NEVERMIND AGAIN. Now Im even more confused because volume pots also work by adding resistance but in this case it decreases voltage amplitude. I am so lost.

Naphtha - zippo lighter fuel. NEXT.

"Gain is a consequence of distortion" Amp manufacturers really missed a great opportunity to install a consequence knob for distortion

Very well done, this video is appreciated

Great video, as a resident of the United Kingdom though I can confirm nobody is pretending to like each other, we all make our displeasure quite clear😅

Turrets in a pedal??

Very well done! These videos are fantastic Colin! 👏

Nice video. Not sure about the USA analogy. If my guitar signal was unified like the USA I imagine my guitar would instantly grow limbs to start tearing itself apart.
