Rig Rundown - Rick Beato

[Music] so man see you didn't see John pretty man I'm red I'm with Ricky on right now and his in his studio outside of Atlanta man I can't thank you enough for letting us into your your lair pleasure cut this is you or having a um yeah I got a couple lamps got a few guitars yeah heavily-armed I wish we might have to try to do like a pan shot where you can see it all it's it's it's really beautiful man you can get it done here so you can track full bands right here I have tracked hundreds of projects here I I don't I don't produce records anymore since I do my youtube channel full-time yeah but I've done so many records I've got another nine out of ten drum sets over there we got plenty plenty of gear God and it just and it sounds good in here feels getting there that's great it this guitar I've seen you play a lot this has got to be a number one I love this guitar it didn't used to be my number one but I restrung this with eights as an experiment I just watch that I watched the video about this about string gauges and it was really interested yeah I think that the whole you know bigger-is-better thing is just that's I mean that nobody ever talked about that when I started playing guitar in the 70s and go and all my friends play dates we all play dates and then I switched to tens and then I switched Elevens and you know Stevie Ray Vaughan made everybody do that that's right everybody yeah everybody had to go heavy because Stevie because that sound but that sounds TV so so I had changed to eight and I was doing a thing with Dave Friedman I was talking to him for a podcast and I was talking about using a tube screamer in front of the amp because I did a lot of low tuned metal bands and I would put a tube screamer or any type of distortion boss overdrive pedal in front of the amp to high-pass the guitar to make the bottom end tighten up when it's really distorted yeah and Dave Friedman said to me you know that strings thinner strings will do the same thing because they have less bass and I thought about he goes I said that's my Billy Gibbons used aids and I mean all the guys in the old days used AIDS confusion guys like Holdsworth use dates ever a lot of people did and Andy Van Halen used nine through 49 through forty fender bullets platoon down a half step right and but the less mass there is the less low-end the tighter the sound is and that video is kind of not quite I mean the the point of the video is that for a tighter sound yeah the thinner gauge works yeah so and I'd switch to eighths on this guitar I don't have eights on every guitar but this guitar just plays incredibly well with eighth son huh so what Brandis strings are using these are ernie ball the super slinky aids look what I use I used two Dario's I use different strings on different guitars I'm not endorsed by any string company or anything sure by my strings like everybody else music store further ones you know not everybody else so tell me about this guitar this is a I bought this off the rack at Guitar Center probably about fifteen years ago or so twenty years ago something like that I they had a bunch of them in I played it and it played great it just had such a good neck on it and the thing that I like about these juniors or specials or whatever they're called double cutaways is that the end of the fingerboard is where the last fret is and I play a lot up in this in this area yeah and it's just the easiest access the only other guitar I have that you can do that on as my 65 SG right that's really thin but the the way that the guitar is tapered on this side is easy to you can get all the way up here so easily as opposed to a bolt-on neck if i play my tele or something you get you get hung up there sure yeah that's what I like this and all styling the p90 s it's all it's pretty much all state yeah it's all stock these RP 100 s actually not be nightly oh okay great so the P 100's are the that are they stack is that it or I'm not sure actually yeah I I estate yeah that's great well man yeah that that I have seen you with that guitar a while I don't typically play the guitar up like this I've been playing it like this lately but I mean I normally play my guitar like most people do sure this up it's like but it's because of Instagram to fit the whole guitar in I end up doing this because it's so weird when the guitar neck goes off the screen yeah so I just I just start playing like this grandpa's oh yeah a new thing it is funny how like a how something like Instagram yeah how the format can sort of date yeah it's that yeah like like it's the others there's this whole new kind of art form of finding the one-minute arrangement yeah you know to make it an arrangement that pops in one minute and there are people that are just you know masters of that yeah and yeah and and hey like like you man you're nailing it so well I tried it I do my morning warm-up I'll just play something and then go about my day yeah so but I try to warm up every day and do a one-minute improv I had a guitar teacher Mick good Rick back when I was in Boston in the 80s and what make me a guy yeah he was well he was he's at Berkeley's now but he was at New England Conservatory then I was getting my master's degree in jazz guitar then and and he he made me do a one-minute improv every day every morning when I woke up and then bring it in and play it for him huh cool so you kind of kept that tradition going on yeah that's cool it's uh it's so cool that format Instagram that it gives you an opportunity to just like share a moment of the art like a flick let's just go for it and see what happens yeah it's fun it's good it's it's a I like Instagram I try and post almost every day on it and and it's uh I think it's cool it's it's really a guitar players format - totally it's really for of all musicians of all instruments it's really forget our players yeah and this I I really think we're living in the Golden Age of guitars there's never been more great gear there's there have been more great players out there and it's funny there was this big like a year ago there's this thing about you know guitar being dead or like you know obviously they're not listening yeah I I have you know 15 for 12 cabs so it's a life in young stars live and well right yeah yeah very cool about it well this okay this is number one I want to see what let's look at some warrior another guitar that I play a lot in my videos that I love is a 65 SG I bought this from my buddy Dave Onorato any of you that watched my channel have seen Dave's been in I don't know 50 videos or so Dave does not only is a phenomenal guitar player but he does all the work for every guitar player in Atlanta oh that's great and he sold me this guitar it was his guitar right Dave yeah it was a 65 it's all basically it's all stock except it's how to stop tailpiece added to it and the covers taken off the pickups and the tail piece is way bad yeah further than normal it's cool and it's it's it's strange because it really I think it makes that guitar sound the way it does it's um it's kind of like how Larry Carlton put where he put the stop on his 335 really he's farther back than where it probably should be huh and the longer that space behind the bridge the more harmonics the more overtones it seems to get because that guitar I mean he picked it up right off the bat I didn't say anything I said you just need to play this guitar and you were like instantly or like it's just it's so easy to play to that yeah it's easy to get around on it once again I can get up to the top of the of the guitar right to the last fret without touching the body oh yeah that's the thing that those two guitars have in common is that the body is the the end of the guitar meets the body right there so and these would be the patent pickups right yeah there's a patent number yeah yeah what first basically the second year the patent number so they're basically payoffs I mean there's not really difference that is the argument that everybody had Gibson swears there was no change and yet you know yeah tone weirdos who say oh no totally and everything but well I'll put it this way that's the Clapton SG fool guitar yeah that is the exact same year that he used a 64 65 is that it said that's that's the so I wanted to cover I want to do something with this guitar because in my videos it doesn't show up very well because I usually wear dark dark shirts and I said to Dave can I put some pic covers on he said no it's gonna totally change the sound which it will it'll take some of the high-end off that guitar yeah it sounds so good it's like it's like because I tried doing it myself yeah it's not the same guitar I get it man I just like covers I know it's an aesthetic thing yeah yeah it for me it's like okay I get it might sound better but you know if it takes a little top-end off I can put some more top end on anyway it looks cool like that and let's hear that bad this is a once again this is kind of [Music] it's really got a lot obviously more output than the shirt and the other guitar [Music] I think it's a this is really great for rhythm playing for it's very true all up the neck the intonation is excellent on it even though it really I don't know these are pretty old frets aren't yeah yeah but they're there in week round it's the third crowding so after this there's the left yeah this is but the evenness of this is just is just great and the output that guitar resonates really well and and it just sounds incredible through amplifiers through any amp and I think you're onto something with having that stop back further yeah it seems like the spring tension on is less - is that possible day to mess yes it's a little bit just a little bit lighter and you're gonna get I would imagine with some kind of overtones sounds from it yeah it's almost like you know like it's very similar to like a trapeze tailpiece on the only 335 right right what about the nylon saddles Dave what's that and that definitely takes off a little bit of the the high end from like the brass saddles yeah and so and that's another tone geek some guys love them some guys hate them right you know that guitar it's already got a lot of high end in it so I actually like the nylon because it just takes just a little bit I like I like the feel of it too because to me it for vibrato I think it there's a I don't know I can sense the that there's a little bit of there's a real smoothness to it especially when I play up high it doesn't it doesn't seem like there's as much tension on the strings I have a little bit I have your gauge on this these you're not eights are they those are nines these are nine yeah so then you think about that okay this is a 55 year old guitar yeah without a broken neck there there can't be many of those now it's not a player not player ones yeah most the time when you see somebody they put a stop on it and do monster they're always broken yeah because it got played my friends when they're saying they're selling their Gibson's got a broken that stack that's the first thing I asked I'm always surprised when they don't it's almost miraculous yeah cuz I've been number one rocker rolls at contact sport yeah I'm surprised too because I bang the headstock on here a few times and but I'm surprised that no that's that's honestly that was half the reason why I could sell like guitar good faith to because it was it wasn't broke you know an S G's once they're broke they're never right I've worked on so many of them and they're just super fragile guitars to begin with so if you you know you drop them really good once and that's pretty much it you know make the repair them right there still Dave how much is this guitar way because it doesn't wait on it super bounce yeah maybe it's under seven yeah yeah so yeah it's probably my lightest oh yeah this guitar and I feel like I wasn't the one who put the stop tail piece of mass really yeah so it was already like that when I bought it so now is if you watch my channel the guitar that I play the most or that I've played the most on my channel is my is my danelectro this one here's this was such an odd choice yes oh so I am I love this guitar this is a youtube I think that's the model is that it yeah but you know what can we plug that yeah yeah that is that's what I like about you it's it's an it's odd choices like that and that's a guitar there like [Music] the reason I like this guitar is because if I play really complex chords they have a lot of dissonance in them it's really true sounding it's got great intonation on it and really dissonant chords sound so clear because of the lipstick pickups oh so that's one of the reasons that I play this a lot because I typically only play it if I'm playing jazz oriented things or more complex sounds the most unlikely jazz guitar but it totally makes sense yeah this is a really a great jazz guitar huh really a great jazz guitar so John I'm sorry Steve rid enger' written written written journal owns danelectro he they have I have some newer down Electro's but I always played this one because I don't know I've had it for 25 years or something just I love the I love the sound of it I think that the pickup placement Dave what do you think that has something to do with you oh definitely the tone yeah and there's so even something there real even in there really low output so the guitar sounds really sweet so no matter what you kind of put through it it always sounds good then we use the rhythm pickup on tell you can pick up yeah so what string games you run them these are tens so this guitar actually plays really well with tens on it yeah and and when you wanted when you play these complex chords I never change the strings on this guitar ever these strings have probably been on here three four years you need a tetanus shot before you say I my hands never sweat so they don't really work he really does not dirty up the story yeah my hands are never ever sweat so I can it's Emma just great for it's great for courting just so even yeah these are with a with a guitar that cost 150 dollars I think is probably how much it was when I bought it right that it's so clear it's just great yeah that's really really even sounding yeah how cool that I mean that a guitar that is within reach of anybody pretty much yeah yeah I mean you could be a kid mowing lawns for a day yeah hit really aggressively and find the guitar like that yeah so I you know I remember was seeing they were the making of the blackout by Metallica and I said but true which to me is the heaviest riff on that record James Hetfield is playing a damn electric laying that riff commercial yeah yeah so James Hetfield can play add an electro I complain yeah yeah that is hard to imagine the cool thing about these guitars too is the radius is really flat on the neck so you can really get the action low on those guitars oh this is a 16 like a 15 16 years yeah so it's you can really really get him loved when they totally upgraded the bridge the original danelectro bridges were just that was the not adjusted Jimmy Page put a badass on his couldn't he couldn't give so yes I love this guitar other than this guitar this is another one that you'll see if you watch my channel for a long time this I had this to you Dave yeah sure this is my old Gibson it's actually not a standard it's actually a classic classic it used to be a what used to be a classic now it's a standard this guitar I played on a million sessions this used to be my number one for session playing this DiMarzio pickups these are no these are the mission PAF PAF yeah I got it right you did get it right yeah Dave so I I had Dave take this and do a setup on it and he gives it back to me it's got new pickups on it that's like because he was always like oh this guitar sounds so great and I was like yeah it sounds so much better and then he just put the pickups on he's listened just if you don't like him I'll switch him back to the other ones and I play this like oh they sound amazing yes they're just a basic mid-range output PAF alnico five-man it's mission is mission customs yeah we should be you know it's an MCI it's a guys Scott Sheldon who does a lot of meat does some some original designs and just a replica stuff but the pickup sees you know they're really great pickups I really like them because they're very very very true to the original pif stuff and I know everybody says that about a lot of pickups but I've owned you know Davis owned thousands of guitars and any time I go to buy anything I immediately get on the phone to him and say okay I take a screenshot of it do this I don't buy anything without asking him yep actually none of my friends buy anything yeah that's everybody yeah I think we all have a day well actually between Gregoire oza records and my buddy Dave yeah I'm responsible for half of this stuff being here yeah he used to work at music stores in town too and he would he sold me of so many amplifiers guitars everything yeah I was looking for an original SVT and yet I have up here and you know this is 968 536 first year that's routine battle-ax I do pounds massive so one day Dave calls mommy says I found it what he said I found that SVT the original one and then he had shipped here and I couldn't move the bar could not move the box it doesn't really go anywhere but yeah but but if anything I want to find anything and anybody out there if you have a I'm looking for I don't have my Model T my son Model T amplifier North in the shop right now it's getting repaired but I'm looking for a 612 son cabinets okay so in the comments section below you got that 612 let me know God knows you don't need it looking for problem is how we go that's right I've been looking for for a long time I want to do a video on on doom guitar salsa you know with Matt amps and orange OverDrive's and Monte's and yeah the leads all that in it funny how we hunt stuff like that I mean it's like my favorite thing to do yeah it's my favorite and yet I kind of hate myself for it I bought an amp yesterday I'm like what am i doing [Laughter] leaving the store we'll see you next week girlfriend lately something man the hunt for pro audio gear I have a studio I mean I in my control I have a two inch machine I've got yeah right and that's where you get really good yeah and when you get into microphones microphones are way more expensive than guitars and cameras you get that three cameras yeah yeah yeah same brush we just shot him and then he say he's a camera nerd yeah and he spends as much on cameras as guitars yeah camera cameras are way more expensive thing guitar so there is expensive as as a really nice guitar guitar hot game you can't play him can't play him so well anyway this I love the the the cream the double cream made me think it was a DiMarzio because I was that was that I wanted to make it sort of the old Al Di Meola do it totally yeah it's for that that's what I was thinking you know and Larry was really smart he he copyrighted the double cream yeah right and Gibson who originally made the double creams couldn't make them because we're really had the copyright now Wow another good Italian New York yes guitars I've probably had this 20-some odd years as well so I mean most of the guitars I've had I've had for a long time there's one other one here that I this telly you'll see me play in my videos and this this one is once again he'll say if you want them yeah perhaps but this they're all attitude just very [Music] really the particular guitar is I think I've I've had it set up about one time or so it just is yeah that guitars a rock guitar Zaraki never years I gotta crank the truss rod and that's it yeah and this is I think there are tens on this yeah those are tens yeah this is a very very even net it's really even everywhere on the neck easy to play solos and for you know a lot a lot of chords that have seconds in them and things like that it's very true plays very in tune I think we're over does what I tell he really just cuts through a mix yeah and it doesn't have to be that ice picky sound they just find a place yeah so I would you know I have one of everything yeah that's kind of my that's my thing is that that being us having a studio doing records you always need all this thing needs a tele or it needs a a PRS yeah or it needs a you know a strap whatever whatever it may be and I have one of everything yeah what with different pickup configurations and we're looking around you've got a bit more than one of them yeah yeah that's that's great so I and the other thing that people will see on my channel is this guitar this is my this is honestly really my only acoustic guitar this is a 1957 Gibson country-western I had some the biggest video on my channel is with this guitar I did the top 20 acoustic guitar intros of all time and and you see in the comments section constantly how did you mic the guitar it sounds amazing and there's no mic in the camera there's a mic about five feet away and that's what it is all about it's all about the instrument yeah yeah it's got a really even mid-range on it I have a video coming out today that where we changed the gauge strings on it did the same thing okay let's talk strange this is okay so this is these are 13s on it I've always played 13s on this particular guitar because it had 13s when I when I got I actually get recorded on a record that was mixed by Kevin Shirley who Kevin does all Joe Bonamassa records and Kevin heard this guitar and he said that's the best son acoustic I've ever heard on a recording and I didn't own it at the time the guy at the studio recorded that had it and that's my buddy Jimmy and I kept to ask him Jimmy will you sell it will you sell it and this went on for a couple years in fact one day he said yes yeah my god - and then and I've held on to it and this is really really the only guitar I mean I like to have a Martin sometime but yeah yeah but and that car was basically stock the only thing I've done to it i refriended it put a new nut on it the gears are reissued gears but the rest of the guitar is real straight and original it's you know it's been played it's not like a closet classic by any means I mean it's it's in I think it was refinished at the time was it was in office gibson actually refinished oh really yeah in and I think 91 it was mm-hmm but it's in very very good shape I scratched the neck with a capo one time it's got this dude fixed it but you can still see it yeah I draw filled some laughs I was so mad it wasn't a band doing but I can see it there but it's completely smooth so you know it's your guitar yeah nobody gonna do yeah it's not like there's no scratches on it but this this guitar is records really well it's got very even mid-range because it's an old guitar it's dried out and and it's so balanced the country-western it looks a lot like the j16 he looks a lot like the AJ the advanced jump you know I don't know what the difference is because they're all that bells shaped like it's it's mainly appts it's mainly you know bindings and inlays and that kind of thing some of the backs arm and the shoulders are a little different shape but maybe right David yeah oh maybe that's the mahogany yeah yeah because because I think the the AJ is rosewood yes maple one but that was actually the little bit later but yeah I think that the mid range on these guitars that they have a Sheryl Crow reissue that Gibson right yeah hers is a 61 oh cool I thought hers is more like dreadknot II but I it's close it's it's that body shape but it's elite it might be just a tad wider and okay but then it might be the color yeah the color Stephanie I was just gonna Cheryl yeah who can tell me well yeah well Peter Strauss got the greatest yeah yes this is it if you watch my channel or have heard any records I produced I can you hear acoustic guitar it's pretty much this one okay actually I lied I actually do have one more acoustic guitar it's this nineteen early 70s guild classical that I it was my first guitar ever got I've uh I've had it since the mid 70s how great and and there's a great story with this guitar ma one of my students her name was Teresa married Christopher parking is one of the greatest classical guitarists of all time sure and he came to this music store that I was working at when I first moved to Atlanta I was teaching lessons that's where I taught her he came there to meet me and he played this guitar for an hour and a half with me he gave me a concert from this far away just me and him Wow and yes so this is a really really great it's it's just a you know I've had it forever it plays perfectly so it's literally your first guitar yeah well other than my Penco 12-string yeah this is my second guitar but but it's it's stayed in good shape I actually broke the neck on at Dave did you ever notice this yeah and it's never has never been repaired and it's never gotten any worse really yeah there's bring out a lot of tension on the neck but it's oh yeah but it's I just love this car it looks I mean that looks like a fatal wound but apparently no big deal yeah and I've played this on a million gigs solo guitar gigs so that's great well okay so that is a you can't see them all but that is a small sample of the Arsenal that he has here and speaking of Arsenal's look it behind us you are a man of many amps I like amps yeah yeah obviously okay let's jump into these um let's see here some of the old ones like one of the most recent ones I got or the park that's a 1980 park that is clearly playing Dave found that one yeah that one's real straight to 12:04 it's basically a JMP Marshall it's the transition year it's a transition year it does some it's got a little more gain than than the standard Marshall is that that one's a 50/50 yeah yeah I've got a that's a new high Y which I think are great the new high watts are excellent that is a GCM mm that from the first year 99 that was just completely retube dand had it got failed in one of the videos we were making oh yeah perfect is that the JMP right there Dave Jubilee yeah witzy matching cabs yeah you see the cabinet's behind it but they're all matching yeah yeah then I have a 71 JMP back here I think somewhere I get 94 yeah v4 oh wait okay what it what year is this that's 74 I think so yeah that's like early seventies yeah my back hurts I try to get I try to keep the the cabinets up the the same cabinets this orange overdrive over there that's it has an interesting story so I was making a record at at NRG in LA back in 1999 and Stone Temple Pilots were making a record and I heard them they were trying with Brendan O'Brien they did all the records with him and I heard this unbelievable guitar sound Rob Robert DeLeo is a Robert no Dean Robert Dean guitar player so Dean was playing I said gotta push my guitar sound like that and when they were taking a break I peeked my head in and he was playing through and that and literally that happened I know I know it was that apposite I bought it off reverb and it was Brendan O'Brien's rode case they had his name oh really so I found it I'm reverb a couple years ago and said that's the amp wow isn't that baffling when people fill their gear like that yeah well I guess if you're not making records and you and you own 300 amps but yeah yeah sure whatever Brendan owns yeah yeah I mean I get it those are those are really so the you had the orange Oh our 120s back in the 70s and then they made or 80s and then they had the OverDrive's which are the master volume versions of those amps which had even more gain and they have the most creamy mid-range throw there's some of my favorites great amps yeah they're some of my favorite amps ever made so I'm a huge fan of old orange amps yeah I've owned probably five on orange OverDrive's in about ten or 120s oh my god yeah that one in particular is kind of a common oddball that was actually one of the early 90s there was a reissue reissue so they bought the I think Gibson Gibson distributed them but it was Tracy Tracy 9:00 in the early nineties Ipsen but recently it is yeah and they used a lot of the parts they had the transformers and a lot of the faceplates from the original orange factory that they guys so a lot of the early ones were actually you know new old stock oh cool so yeah I remember doing a thing in Nashville that gets from sponsoring back in the 90s and it was all orange back line its first time I saw one and there's weird hieroglyphic what does this mean what is this but this particular series ZZ Top was using this during the period and I went to go see them I was working I just studio here in town called Triclops actually where we kind of met originally in there they've done the Siamese Dream record lived through this yeah COC deliverance swamp affiliate by Indigo Girls warn hands us first solo record cool so it was a great studio we and we just it's a cool scene yeah yeah it reminds it's kind of funny it reminds me of Nashville in a lot of ways now yeah it's kind of helped come back then from back then yeah and and actually what about and the traffic is actually exactly you guys got all of it right yeah you know Spence everything but uh and it's funny because a lot of the people that we were associating with at that time like Dave Cobb and I was like that whoa-ohh friends were those guys because they were here and then they moved up there so yes you know it's kind of cool so yeah but that series orange really cool that they've got a lot more gain than the 70s versions and so you can actually run those at a more tame volume and not kill yourself with them and give run out so yeah they can be pretty punishing yeah yeah those are so yeah yes yes all right so I want you know this a lot of the exams have been modded let's do a rectifiers to channel has been modded that Park is in Mitch Colby Park which is a killer sounding yeah it's so what year would that be what's that the park yeah that's new that's right that's from last year that has kt88 I think that right that's a honey why yeah it's a hundred why they went with those retro a chickenhead yeah that's that's what they used in the late 60s on their Virgil parks okay Colby's doing a great job of those in fact I've opened those amps up and they are spec on man I mean they he says a lot of a part really does a great when I went to the NAMM show last year not this past one but a year before I asked Davis and what should I look for and the only thing he said he goes go to park yeah and see Mitch Colby his new amps are amazing and I went before name happened I went over to Tim Pierce's studio and Tim first thing he strummed is he's like what are you playing through and he had the park he doesn't play through this park I said oh my god then he introduced me to Mitch yeah yeah I bought that yeah get some amps it looks like Tim's got a couple yeah I was like how many guitars you have Tim I don't know 300 maybe I don't even know how many I have oh I know I don't know I only have thirty maybe something like that yeah I can see more than thirty I'm about eight Gibson's I think yeah I'm being it look I'm big into amplifiers I I have I'm not a I have digital you know I've used either XFX three I've got a Hilux I've got you know many digital amps yeah if if I'm gonna record something and you know I have Neve Mike pries so I can you know record the things properly I know how to I've got the cabinets sure it's just as easy here to do it pragmatic modern approach I mean for instance right now you've got tens of thousands of dollars with a amps and you're plugging this little box right it sounds great yeah yeah this is a c10 it's this is a great amp yeah it's a great it's not not an expensive amp or anything but for the volumes that I play typically on my would I have to talk over it this is a great choice it takes pedals really well and it's really handy for doing videos yeah I can't like it's the only amp I can move by myself pretty much right right like that ac30 of then on the side those are impossible to lift off even they have the handles they have ten sets of handles but it's thirty two people to carry it right or just throw your back out because it's with those awkward it's so awkward yeah you have to lean over lift with your back it's rock star a man you're not supposed to be picking that yeah but those are you know if I'm recording and and I go into the ISO booth I can put that ac30 in there and play in the control room and I can just crank the thing up and it sounds amazing yeah nothing like it oh right yeah it's great to have all these flavors okay so you get a sound city here an old sound city fifty there yeah custom twenty hiwatt I've got a bad cat this bad cat really sounds great jcm800 yeah that's the early 80s you know 71 beneath it JMP 271 JMP that I found that's dead mint it looks like a brand new amp is that were there yeah and but does it look in addition all original yeah yeah couldn't believe it when I saw I saw in a store I bought it six months ago Wow and I saw it in a store and I couldn't believe it wasn't brand new yeah I was like what is this some new reissue J&P I said no that's original 71 yeah he sent me pictures of it I'm like that's a really clean one I said you can't get much cleaner than that yeah you know so what is this that's a poly tone this that's actually a little bit cooler Sampson here man that's a solid-state pollito and it's a jazz you know for jazz get sure and my friends yeah baby roots exactly the joker has people like that would write those but buddy of mine had that he found it at a used vintage store it didn't have doesn't say poly tone anywhere on it but it's obviously a poly tone he could tell it so he put a new grille on it but yeah it's almost like yeah a grill that's great that's a great clean amp that's it that's a new rack of herb three these are great yeah the the second version was not that the first version was excellent both right over 100 Iraq over 50 were excellent the mark 2 was not a good sound they changed the design did not like it at all in the mark 3 they went back and they took most all the good stuff from the first one this is really really great amp huh now you wonder how that happens how a company you know to get a product out here a particularly company that's that's well established like an orange they've been around for ever in different you know different incarnations and different forms but have been around forever but you wonder how they they let out something that is universally kind of not embraced yeah then that's kind of a generous way of putting it but but there's some things just are not winners and you wonder how does it make it pass everybody in R&D and how it is how how does somebody not say wait a minute but a lot of these companies it's the amp does there's one guy that designs the amps baby yeah and then they oh they want to towards guesswork you know a lot of times they're like well let's see what it does you know maybe maybe you know now orange the distribution centers about five miles from here so I I know all the guys at orange and do and I used to go over there a lot when they were they had a lot when all the amps were coming out the Thunder verbs the rocker verbs and they all first came out I would go over they'd call me up and I go over and check them out and stuff so yeah but that's that's a that's a beast of an amp there oh yeah yeah there they are they are wildly efficient and I mean there's no I know there's no heavier overdrive yes it's sharp heavy yeah yeah yeah shock is mastodons yeah yeah it totally is yeah totally is yeah well and there's pedals as far as the eye can see but right now you get just kind of a modest pedal board in front of you why would you kind of take us through I know I imagine with recording because that's what you you're you're you're not out touring for the most part you're in the studio so you probably build your pedals specific to the song every every song every video I make I have a new pedal board I have two different pedal boards a bigger one if I because this is this is one that can only hold three pedals pretty much yeah and then I have one that'll hold I don't know ten pedals or so so let's talk about this one it's the Nano pedal train yep nano pedal train I have the bonsai Josh's JHS pedal which is all the tube screamers which I love we reviewed that is amazing this is a great pedal really great Akili compressor that's classic yeah yeah and the Volante which is a binson echorec basically copy of that but with with tap tempo huh this is a really great Sun and delay all the the the binson echorec SAR david gilmour peter frampton the drums on when the levee breaks were all put through those so is Peter Frampton when I interviewed him I said what did you use for delay because this delay I always sound amazing he said he's the binson because Dave Gilmour huh is you know he said that's what he used then he told them you should get that and and they've done a really great copy of it I have a couple other copies pedals that copy it but this one is is very versatile the I think it has four heads the original echorec yeah you know show us a couple sounds out of the thing I'll get you an electric yeah we haven't seen this TRS yet yeah I'm trying to get ready for you feel good try not to have the things just so sexy yeah what's up Ellie sorry got my back towards the camera good I appreciate that good idea [Music] so what is this PRS is this or new McCarty this is the 594 I'm not sure how new this is but I've had it for about a year and a half or so is that one of their custom builds or uh I'm not sure actually but I love the guitar it's it's it's absolutely beautiful yeah there there were I mean right out of the box there things are always well set up and they and they sound great and I don't know where they're getting their wood but I did a tour of the factory I interviewed Paul Holland did a tour of the factory and it's fascinating to see how they get have their tops sitting there and right and and they'll have 4000 guitars in production something like that all at once and it's really impressive and this is just a very very well made guitar plays great and it sounds great it's got the the splitters I guess right yeah yeah yeah but this is [Music] I love this guitar so so this this Vincent echo it's got so many different it's get so many different things that can do that you can spend it it's got multiple heads it's got oh and then you can save in a favorite yes so build one in one say that for [Music] you can just get any kind of tone out of this but this is I think for me these are great for lead guitar they sound they sound fantastic for that and and what are you using the power of this that's a streamin power supply file yeah yeah it's under the under the board there and so I've got that I have that for both of my pedal boards and I'll typically have usually for my videos I'll run three pedals three or four pedals just so that I have as many sounds as I can't unless I'm doing something if I do a video within my what makes this song great series I try to use that the gear that they used sure that's a cool series yeah yeah yeah thank you felt like archaeology right you know yeah so I yes I you know whatever whatever it takes so a lot of the equipment you buy is for those reasons yeah it's that's you know to get the right tones and to you know yeah replicate it right you know it's that's part of it yeah yeah it there is something so gratified about nailing a tone that you've heard before yeah III don't have that gift I'm not a particularly good mimic you know but but but man yeah you really dial it in it's it's it's really interesting well it's it's you know that that stuff is fun to me it's fun to kind of try to match the sounds it's really challenging yeah yeah because it's well because the gears just part of it ya know it's it goes so far beyond oh I had a video taken down I did back in black and it was they thought it was the original oh and I went back in after he got blocked got taken down so I went in I'm a added it to the video where I replayed the parts but changed and played it a little bit so I said my video got taken down so I got to play the parts a little bit sloppier and I don't I change the inversions in the base a little bit in the spots and uh and then I put it back up and it stayed up oh that's not even play I played I did I want now but I did the courts the highway to hell on a video just trying out a guitar yeah they D monetize the video immediately because they they own a D over F sharp and G you know I you know you can try and you know you can try and protest it but you know that's the fact he owns those chords now well it's all you know when you've got Satan as your lawyer you can have those yeah all right great so yeah well man it is such a pleasure to meet you in and you know take the whole tour man really enjoyed it yeah I really appreciate you coming down and hanging out in the studio it's it's I don't have guests very often yeah is there a hole up here load all right yeah yeah with the zombie apocalypse it's you we found life I won't even know these cabinets you just put in for the door so blocks everything off they can't get we are in Atlanta till next time thank you thanks good
