0:34 …there’s two types of hick…pickups. hehe

0:27-0:33 They do NOT pick up the sound! They take the interference of the magnetic field created by the steel string (mechanical energy) and convert it to electrical energy (the signal). A transducer.
Yes, I’m being picky but you can’t just say “They pick up the sound”. If you’re going to explain guitars/amps you’re going to have to be explicit.
Sorry

Or more standard …
Or more standard would be Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall stack, probably a JCM 800 or something. The modern ones are generally not as good
One-off LP copy, a …
One-off LP copy, a Marshall Jubilee series that’s not made anymore, and Alnico Pro II pickups
Yes, the clean and …
Yes, the clean and dirty channels from this mesa boogie would be like the low and high inputs from your epiphone, but both amps work in different ways.
Some people uses a/b boxes to change through the inputs on amps like this.
How i give it the …
How i give it the sound like in sweet child o mine??
No the high and low …
No the high and low mean your output. If your guitar has high output pickups u put it in the “high” if u have a low output pickup it goes in “low”. a good way to put it is if u have active pickups or a similar passive, “High”. If ur using most passive pickups…use low. hope it helps (:
are “high” and “low …
are “high” and “low” the same as clean and dirty? (they are two different inputs on my epiphone amp)
Depends how the …
Depends how the wiring is, you have In Series or Out of Phase, I can’t remember which way round (I think its In Series) but that is the ’standard’ way of wiring and that means two single coils together are Humbucking, however I think Out Of Phase means they still Hum.
What so the two …
What so the two single coils together is a humbucker, not just two single coils??
what type of amp …
what type of amp settings would you have for ac/dc sort of stuff like you shook me all night long? thanx
well sweet child …
well sweet child needs a wah pedal which i have never seen built into an amp lol, vox makes good wah’s for like 80-120 bucks, but if you are looking for everything in one, go with a line 6 multi effects, or a boss me series. i don’t personally like them, but i’m sure they aren’t ALL rubbish. haha
nice mesa 5:25

Wait….so I …
Wait….so I couldn’t get a sound like Jimmy Page’s guitar in the song Since I’ve Been Loving You on a regular amplifier? Do I need an effects pedal? What about, say, the Sweet Child of Mine solo by Guns N Roses? Also not possible on a normal amp?
Thanks
LOL I like the …
LOL I like the dirty channel…..
this and part one …
this and part one really helped me, thanks a lot
man, that was great
man, that was great
I’m not entirely …
I’m not entirely sure if this is correct, but distortion is effects based, like its created by the amp or a pedal. Overdrive is over-driving the signal, basically giving it a lot of gain.
Nice video Justin! …
Nice video Justin! I use an express 5:50… the 25w with a 12 was not available at the time. I find that when any of the tone knobs for treble, middle and bass are above 12 o’clock, the burn channel is really hard to tame. any advice? I’m putting a PRS Custom 22 through it.
so pro this helps …
so pro this helps so much i fail when it comes to amp settings
thank you, that was …
thank you, that was useful !
Oh, ok. My amp says …
Oh, ok. My amp says overdrive but it doesnt sound like you described it. It sounds very distorted, sometimes even with low gain. But I’ll fix it.
What is the …
What is the difference between overdrive and distortion? Are they the same or are they completely different?
