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.

Nice comparison! I really love the way the HB2 sounds. I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a Surfliner Deluxe.

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?

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.

I have a question, is it versatile? How many genres can that guitar play?

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.

The intro gave me a strong They're Only Chasing Safety vibe

Ohhh boy, you have been hanging out with Mr. johnston. It's good to stretch different muscles now and then. You did great!

Gonna make me want this pedal even more now.😂

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?

Hello there! I would like to ask if a capo works for this guitar?

Hey! How did you recorded the sound? Did you used it as an interface ou mic'd a amp? Great tones!

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.

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?

Marshall class 5, Blackheart Lil giant,vht special 6 head

What cabinets did you use in the ox stomp.

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

This video helped convince me to get one. Picked up a miami blue two days ago. Very fun guitar.

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!

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.

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.

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 🤔

Retro Reel! Like you said. Sounds great!

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 love it

which capacitor kit do you installed with it?

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.

I played one today through a Bad Cat. It’s very cool plays and sounds great

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?

The sound is not bad... Guild guitars are versatil😎

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.

Dude because of your Surfliner demo I ended up picking one up! It’s now my #2 for playing live

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.

Yeah both sound fabulous. Do they make lefties?

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.

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.

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.

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 :(

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

Wth? No Surf rock? lol jk Cool comparison.

Literally have been eyeing both of these. But my heart do often goes to Gretsch guitars.

Nice comparison! I'm a VERY happy Double Agent OG owner, but the Guild looks and sounds beautiful as well!

Great demo.

Fantastic playing, wonderful demo and explanation of the amp. I'm going to have to get one of these.

Crazy but after all, the stock Celestion was the best clean to my ears. The Green. Beret sounds great for the dirty tones!
