Some people have asked what the speaker cabinet is. It is a 1971 Marshall 100 watt cabinet with four 25 watt Celestion greenbacks.
It's amazing how defensive a video title can make people.
Ameteurs don't understand that you should fuck around with the equipment you have available to determine what sounds good.
For real, though. I was hoping this would be more informative.
Lovely. That is one heck of a lot of expertise concentrated in one room!
Thank you for allowing us to witness this!
I Love Sg's Tone!!
I read this as “What Americans don’t understand about tone” ????
Yeah well not everbody has the big place without neighbours around to blast a solid amp. Hiw about that???
What’s up with Canadian tuxedo?
lol what a load of waffle
Sadly, this is one of those situations where a successful person confuses causation and correlation because they assume that their success confirms their opinions.
The reality is that he’s a great player and amicable guy so its not hard to imagine he gets a lot of work.
Everybody is a gear snob these days
Great show as always. Any chance of getting Robert Fripp on?
This just ended up being a video about gain-structure…
We all know the risk of hearing media mermaids hired by someone to sell you something, so I think we are safe if we just remaining critical.
I believe that what they are trying to show us today, is how a pro that can improvise tunes is inspired to a particular style by each particular gear. Which is nice. I have heard about this phenomena before but I have never experienced it by myself since I cant improvise.
The camera operator made me seasick trying to watch this.
Orange never interested me…they look cheaply made…and and reminds me of an orange popsicle…orange crush drink…Ive changed my mind on those amps… now…Marshall's…Fender….stacks…
Galien Krugers….senheisers mics…fanulous…
A variety ofshitty sounds is still crap
Nice amps demo.
Pickup selector switch, amp gain eq knobs, different mics pickup different frequencies at different levels. Amateurs don't know this?
✌????????
Terrific interview. The best yet. You cannot just play the guitar – you must also play the amp. Such beautiful playing. Rate five stars: 100 per cent. This tells the whole story.
Rick and I both said wooooo the same exact way whenever he hits that chiming part on the fender amp. lol wwooooo
“You could make a whole record with that amp” i don’t even know how to imagine being a person who thinks it’s unusual to use one amp for a whole record
The twin bare bones sounded really good, everything else was way too much gain and way too much treble.
So now what I understand about tone is I need about 20 thousand dollars worth of equipment.
Rick, I love your videos but please invest in a video camera gimbal. The camera was moving around so much in this video it's hard to watch. I'm sure the trolls will come after me but it's just a suggestion.
This video is a good example of why I play an acoustic guitar 95 percent of the time. I am not a 'session guy' and life is too short to worry about multiple amp heads, effects pedals , dirty sounds etc, ect.
To bad with Youtube compression, cant hear a difference
Drooooool
What amateurs don't understand is they need to stop being poor and have a multi million dollar professional recording studio.
With all respect for Rick and Tim, the bad thing about these vids is that a lot of starting players don't have access to that type of gear.
It can make new players think that you only can sound good if you got enough $
It would not hurt that these pro's would try tho do some videos about working with cheap stuff.
Why? so younger, beginner players can get a good sound that motivates and sets the point of interest in learning to play.
don´t get me wrong, i don't say that cheap gear can sound as good as pro gear!
but those little gems of knowhow tweaking gear could change a lot
say, a $ 100 amp, a behringer ore other accessible cheap brand 7 EQ, dirt/distortion pedal, maybe a delay, what would you choose?
That would also be a opportunity to show what effect guitar playing skills, will do, maybe more than gear.
No boogie amping: ?
Really need a better title for this dude…
I understand that you can record 8 minutes of DUN DUN DUNNNNN, DERN DERN DERNNNNNNNNNN, CHUCKA and make a video about it
Hey old man you made it trough life. With your talent. Lucky old man. Never worked for a living. Escape life
Why not throw in a Pignose with the SG?
I don’t understand what I don’t understand.
That Park amp with the delay just sounded delicious. Also, for any budding guitarists, please don’t just assume that a great amp, modern or vintage, will make you sound good! Please keep in mind that Tim is a professional guitarist. He could make a $50 amp sound like a $1000 amp.
Park Amp – that was hot. In my opinion, the most beautiful overall tone. The Fender Deluxe was my second favorite (especially with a clean sound).
That was an awesome breakdown! Yes, you play what you hear. Just like some guitars you have to pull the sound out of them and work them a little. But other guitars you pick up pulls the sound out of you. When these things line up it truly is amazing.
I recently purchased a Gibson GA-95 RVT from the 60s and what an amazing sound. It’s like nothing I’ve ever played out of before. It’s great to experiment on Especially with no pedals.
One issue I have with my guitar playing is a wallet deficiency. Rock on brothers and sisters. The most important thing is to be having fun.????????
Scoop the mids is not the answer?!?
Awesome video! Tim is a monster!! Im curious about the mic placments. Could please explain it?
i haven’t enjoyed 17 minutes as much for a while. Mr Pearce seems just a lovely guy.
70% of the tone being the speaker and playing them through various reverb and EQ settings to make the amps sound night and day must be the secret… whoops ????
This feels out of touch, what are use amateurs not understanding?!?
Tim is the greatest…????
You can’t get them tones from a pedalboard…great session, Tims playing is phenomenal
Now I gotta buy an MD-421 and get back the SM-57 that I sold years ago!!
Being 50 myself I do enjoy seeing and learning from old guys that rock!…. Cool SG!
The guy doing the handheld video on this shoot does not know how to shoot handheld video. He's all over the place – trailing pans, too much zooming, Rank amateur.
