Just three pedals!? Live Ambient Guitar Looping [Happy Saturday!]
A great solution for running a delay in the front is to use a ducking delay, for instance TC’s Flashback. That way the delay doesn’t affect the sound (in a bad way) when playing, and as soon as you stop playing you have those nice trails.
🗣️Good vidéo,good job , thanks for explication 👌👍
That intro got me thinking we should get our skinny jeans and start UO/TOCS style band.
Hahaha yussss. 🤘🏼
Nice comparison! I really love the way the HB2 sounds. I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a Surfliner Deluxe.
love it! yeah everything I play this thing I feel that way - it is just the right vibe for this guitar. indie rock vibes, slightly ratty but not crazy. I dig it!
Hope this isnt too late, but im trying to run my 5150 iii 6l6 50w and split a stereo signal into 2 frequencies going into 2 separate 2x12 cabinets of the 5150 iii 6l6. will this device make this possible?
I'd be hesitant to put it at that point in the signal ; not sure it would handle power amp output levels, but I'm not an expert. I'd suggest connecting with Great Eastern FX with that question.
Great playing. Killer guitar. What's up with GUILD lately, this SURFLINER and POLARA are knocking it out of the park. These have a lot more "soul" than PRS.
Thanks ! Yeah, agreed. They’ve had a monster year the last couple , not to mention the acoustic side. This one is just a guitar that’s *fun* to pick up and play. From the aesthetics, vibrato, and pickup choices. Love it!
@@AmbientEndeavors Yeah these just feel more "soul" and interesting than PRS. PRS is well-made but just mid. Fender just keep coming out with the same stuff along with Gibson.
I have a question, is it versatile? How many genres can that guitar play?
I think you could use it in a number of contexts. The humbuckers are full but not overly dark or muddy. Having the pull pot to allow for more single coil sound gives you more versatility for closer to Strat or Tele tones.
I love this! The intro reminded me of God Is an Astronaut. I do love the pedal but I hate that you have to use the phone to dial it in. The last thing I want to do is mess with my phone while I’m playing guitar.
Definitely don’t *need* the phone, it just offers some fine tuning of some of the features.
@@AmbientEndeavors sorry I’m dumb. Haha. For some reason, I was thinking you couldn’t adjust the EQ without the app. But, that’s wrong. Haha.
The intro gave me a strong They're Only Chasing Safety vibe
Survey says: that was intentional ha :) was binging that album this week
Ohhh boy, you have been hanging out with Mr. johnston. It's good to stretch different muscles now and then. You did great!
Let's just say I've had Underoath's They're Only Chasing Safety on heavy rotation this week ha. And yea Mark's the man!
Gonna make me want this pedal even more now.😂
hahaha 😆
Picked up the Guild based on the vid! Thanks! Curious on your thoughts about swapping the single coils. What style pickup would physically fit in the neck and middle positions?
rad! How are you liking it! I would *imagine* you could put standard Strat pickups in there? I haven't really investigated that tbh - I'm a big fan of the SC's. Ive debated swapping the HB. But overall it's just been really fun to play as-is. Gotta ask what COLOR you got?!
@@AmbientEndeavors I had to go all black! I'm really loving the way it plays (especially the feel of that roasted maple neck), but I am having some tuning instability. I looked up another vid with some suggestions on how to fix and am wondering if it's worth swapping out the tuners. Are you having any issues with that?
Hello there! I would like to ask if a capo works for this guitar?
Yeah definitely!
Hey! How did you recorded the sound? Did you used it as an interface ou mic'd a amp? Great tones!
This was all direct, into my interface and DAW. Using this for effects and amp sim.
I had a g5420t. For some reason, for the longest time, I would get stuck on the fact that it didn't have normal filtertrons, or that it didn't have the string-thru bigsby, or that it said electromatic on the pickguard, and I'd think of ways to cover those up and hide them. Make it seem like the professional series. I think now I'm realizing that I can still be proud of an instrument like this. The only substance behind my thoughts was elitism. Thinking that the only "real" gretsch guitars are made in Japan or the US. How silly a thought that is. How silly it is to find shame in not having the best. How silly it is to find the value in the instrument rather than what you do with it. I hope to have that guitar back someday. Maybe I'll play it with new eyes.
for sure, I've had my own journey of that feeling of not wanting to play certain brands or models or lines because of the name. there are SO many really solid instruments across the whole price range these days, and the invitation to play what sounds and feels good regardless of name or model has never been more timely.
If I want to replace the default pickups with alnico 2 pro slash pickups, is it possible?
What a nice guitar! What kind is it?
Jennings Voyager Deluxe
Marshall class 5, Blackheart Lil giant,vht special 6 head
I'd love to revisit the Class 5; I had one years back when they first came out and it was really cool. Would be interested to see how it'd "aged"...and I've since gotten more into the Marshall sound.
What cabinets did you use in the ox stomp.
Here I'm using "2x12 Two Verb" cab with a 121 and 421, touch of compression and reverb in the UA app.
Thanks for this demo… No one else seem to be doing the Combo amp. They’re all doing the head into a one by 12 or 2 x 12 cab which is obviously going to sound different
for sure! glad it was helpful. thanks for watching !
This video helped convince me to get one. Picked up a miami blue two days ago. Very fun guitar.
that's great - glad to hear it!
Another banger opening track. Your channel always inspires me to go turn knobs on my pedals. I get so stuck in this mentality that I can't change settings once I find something I like but you always make me get over that and go on some tone shaping journeys. Love it!
aw thanks man. that's such a high complement. ultimately I want folks to be inspired to play and create. appreciate you!
My goodness, what an incredible opening tone! Boutique guitars are great, but just a straight Tele through that rig was near perfection. If you ever do other videos on this I'd love to hear it through an HX Stomp. Does it need to be right before the amp modeler to have the best effect? Or can you run it before delays and reverbs into the amp and still get that tube saturation? I've grown up in the modeling world so I don't have much experience with tube amps or running all effects into an amp. I've always done the studio-clean thing of wet fx after the amp modelers.
thanks man! Yeah, sometimes I just feel like running a Tele into a dirty amp, it makes layering really fun and the way the Tele cuts is pretty unique. RE: placement, I need to perhaps do a video using these as simply "dirt pedals" and see. I have really liked putting them last in the chain as they do add that nice touch of tube compression and "take pedals" well, so I've been happy - but I know that's just one of a few contexts you could use them in. I forgot to note, but there is a toggle on the side that allows you to run at a little hotter level when you're running into direct rigs, or flip down for a more mellow output for using it in line with your drive section.
You are getting some beautiful tone out of that rig. Are you only running the Browne Amplification Gritador, Strymon El Capistan, Tubesteader Magnezium into the UA OX Stomp set to Soyuz 1973 mic? No Amp modeler or any other pedals off to the side? I'm using the UA Dream and just not getting the tone I want, but what you played in this video is so close to where I want to be.
hey! that's the whole setup yea. ( Soyuz mic is just for talking bits ). SO - running those pedals into Ox Stomp - stereo out to a Pinstripe Pedals DISO+ , and there's a touch of plate reverb from the Ox Stomp. I multi track and mix the intro tracks, so there might be eq or compression on some of the tracks, but I really don't go crazy on that side of things. I use the Dream a lot too , and I think some of the magic does come from the tubes in these preamps bringing some life and dynamics back to the digital environment.
@@AmbientEndeavors Thank you! I've been on the fence about the Ox Stomp for awhile and now definitely considering it with this Tubesteader. Would you recommend running the Tubesteader as the preamp for the Dream or do you think that's a little redundant and just go Ox Stomp? Appreciate all the help. I'm new to this digital pedal world and trying to get the tones I used to get out of my amp.
@@justingreen264 I haven't tried it with the Dream; my hunch is that it might feel like there's a lot going on, running into the Dream's amp voicing.
@@AmbientEndeavors Thanks!
Solid comparison video. Even though I am a tele player, I think the Guild would be my choice between the two. I do wonder if you could swap out the white pickguard for a tortise shell though 🤔
Would be cool!! Might be able to send one to a custom mfg and get it cut! ..now I’m curious…
@AmbientEndeavors that would be my choice if I had a shell/pastel color guitar like that (currently about to do that for my Nick Johnston signature tele)
Retro Reel! Like you said. Sounds great!
My brother in Christ - it is SO good. Haha :) 90% of the time HX one is on, it’s retro reel.
Smooth and beautiful! My kind of guitar for praise music
🙌🏼
Crate VC508 5 watt tube amp. The pre-amp is a hybrid and uses only half of its tube, the rest of the tube's power goes to the poweramp so it probably has more power and bark than any other 5 watter out there. You have to set the gain and tone low and the volume high and also use the hidden FX Loop for your pedal but it's very loud with terrific screaming tube tone (I don't play guitar, old powerful harmonica microphones). You can get this for under $250 including tax and shipping.
I remember seeing those around back in the day. I'll have to check it out!
@@AmbientEndeavorsmine has a light colored solid wood cabinet, have only seen one other, also an extra line out and the Celestion speaker swapped out for a Jensen Special Design.
I love it
♥️
which capacitor kit do you installed with it?
stock electronics in the Toronado - not sure the value , but 500k pots in this one.
I've read some people saying you need to ''wax pot'' these pickups or you can get nasty feedback with gain. Have you found this to be true? Awesome video.
thanks for watching! Can't comment on the wax pot situation , not sure about that. I do not recall any nasty feedback though , but I don't tend to play much high gain.
@AmbientEndeavors thanks. I just picked one up right and so far it's awesome
I played one today through a Bad Cat. It’s very cool plays and sounds great
I bet!!
so cool, I just think the pickups (dry signal) are way too bright. But I guess thats something that could be worked around in a good way?
yeah , JMs in general can come off as bright. I think this one will benefit from a little heavier strings, but I kind of like the vibe, and agree that it's generally easier to tame brightness vs having overly dark pickups - hard to add it back in!
@@AmbientEndeavors yes indeed. great video man, enjoyed it. keep it up! peace
The sound is not bad... Guild guitars are versatil😎
They sure are!
Your Double Agent OG video was a big influence on me buying one back in February. I got the limited color orchid pink with the black pickguard and ebony fretboard. Your Surfliner video immediately made me want one too. Lol.
Ahhh that’s rad! Glad you found it helpful! Surfliner is way fun!
Dude because of your Surfliner demo I ended up picking one up! It’s now my #2 for playing live
Love to hear it! Surfliner is such a fun guitar
Both are mighty fine guitars, and you did a very nice demo of both, but tell me again -- Why even do a comparison/"shootout" between two vastly different designs? And why would anyone actually ask your choice between a two pickup fixed bridge vs a three pickup vibrato bridge? Is a Strat vs Les Paul video up next? Is this just peak GuitarTube silliness for clicks? Is a "versus" video the algorithm magic bullet for views over simply doing two separate demos? I dunno, man. I was confused when I read the title, and still perplexed (or dismayed?) after I finished the video. Appreciated the playing, though.
man, didn't mean to ruin your day ha! it's sincerely a question I've gotten at least a dozen times between the comments sections of both YT videos and over on IG. I like to try and hit topics viewers have when there's a contingent of interest/curiosity, so I figured I'd do that. OFC there are numerous points of divergence, but for my focused audience, these two specific guitars do kind of rise to the top in terms of price point and general "non-traditional , import , sub $1000" guitars. But this was never dubbed as an apples to apples comparison, merely a side by side walkthrough for those that have both guitars on their "list" and want to run em down together. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah both sound fabulous. Do they make lefties?
no lefty Surfliners :/ Reverend does offer the Double Agent OG in lefty :D
I never understood why guitar gear is marketed as stereo. There are no stereo amps and pedals. Stereo comes from our vision. We see in stereo. Both eyes overlap each other to make one image out of 2. This is how we get depth perception. In audio, stereo is a format that's used record and playback music. We don't see in stereo. We use it to capture and preserve spatial information on a recording. This isn't necessary for the original event. When you're playing an instrument stereo doesn't apply, but when you record an instrument stereo is used to better replicate what took place in a live setting. Just having two channels on a pedal doesn't make it stereo.
i’m really considering picking up a used guild thunderbird. they’re so. damn. cool.
oh wow I forgot about those , what a wild body style! super cool
I was surprised, the Reverend’s pickups were hotter than I expected. I love the idea of the bass contour/rolloff pot, and I wish other makers offered it. OTOH the idea of a Strat with the (approximate) shape and trem of a Jazzmaster is really, really cool.
the Strat-like tones in the Surfliner DLX = def one of my favorite parts about it. It just kinda begs those indie rock / midwest emo kind of vibes.
Good demo. I preferred the articulation of the Guild with the effects you were using. Sounded really nice. The Reverend sounded like it could use some EQ assistance, although I thought it was better with chords. Honestly I don’t believe anyone would be disappointed with either choice.
yeah totally agree - I end up using the bass contour a lot on the reverend, feels like a full freq at max, and then definitely benefits from some eq carving. The Surfliner is a bit more scooped and carved in a way that I think is voiced to my liking as is.
I have the exact same reverend and it has a really good sound, what I didn’t like was the neck that it came with.. supposedly it should be roasted and it just has like a dull white pale color, no roasted at all and looks cheap.. comparing it to my other one the Matt West Signature it looks so different, the Matt West has this nice roasted color.. also the OG has a little bit of fret buzz. It’s not that noticeable through the amp tho. It has a nice sound, just the one I have I didn’t like the neck and it could be fixed by getting a new one from reverend but I don’t think they sell them anywhere :(
ahh yeah. I hear ya. I'd say the neck on mine is a bit underwhelming too. Feels and plays fine, but honest really have that deep roasted look that the Guild and some other "roasted" necks I have here possess.
Greetings from a fellow ambient & melody noise guitar explorer and tone seeker, very kool channel. I got my eyes on these beautiful guitars for some months now, although Reverend is a bit pricey for my current range. Best regards from Mne, Europe. Mladen
Hey thanks for stopping by! 🙏🏼
Wth? No Surf rock? lol jk Cool comparison.
lol. I think the name does it a huge disservice - I’m sure it *can* do surf but man is it fun for so much more. I guess the same could be said about “Jazzmaster” - not sure I’ve ever heard jazz played on it 🤷🏼♂️
@@AmbientEndeavors 🤣 Right, I dont have a single coil guitar yet, so I am looking at either Strats, Tels or Jazzmasters. Been a long time Les Paul guy. Its just a name, but I couldnt help myself. Good content though, all jokes aside.
Literally have been eyeing both of these. But my heart do often goes to Gretsch guitars.
ooo , which Gretsch(s) are you eyeing?
Nice comparison! I'm a VERY happy Double Agent OG owner, but the Guild looks and sounds beautiful as well!
thanks for watching! Yeah , both guitars are pretty dang cool. I've got a lot of use out of the Surfliner DLX and love the tonal range of each of the pickup positions, but every time I plug the Double Agent in I remember how much I love the bass contour on the Reverends. Both solid choices!
Great demo.
thanks for watching!
Fantastic playing, wonderful demo and explanation of the amp. I'm going to have to get one of these.
aw thanks , glad you found it helpful! Love what Joe is doing with these little amps - really fun! Check out the AC5 vid too if you're keen on the more Voxy tones.
Crazy but after all, the stock Celestion was the best clean to my ears. The Green. Beret sounds great for the dirty tones!
tend to agree! I was impressed with the stock pairing. I too like the GB for gritty tones, it added some complexity to the breakup, to my ears.
