Awesome tone.🔥🎸👏👏 Big like. Hope you are doing well.😊✌
I didn't hear any significant difference with anything you did. I have a 65 Reissue which sounds pretty good to me, kind of like most Fender amps. To tell the truth I think all the hype about the old amps being better is to justify the crazy prices people ask for them, and any difference between the old ones and new ones IMHO is very subtle. Over the years I've had a few of the older ones, a blackface Bandmaster (it was OK), a Blackface Bassman (great bass amp for small venues, used for bass in a 3 piece acoustic band), a silverface Quad Reverb (loud and very very heavy, weird Master Volume control), a Super 60 rackmount (OK), and now a 65 Deluxe Reissue (probably the best of all of them). BTW I sold all of the others with no regrets, except for maybe the Bassman, and I wish I still had that one.
Thanks Wingman! I don't have as much experience with the older stuff as you do but I will say the pieces that I have that are older have a certain mojo that newer gear doesn't. I take that BF deluxe reverb to cool gigs and people notice it. But you're right - is it a 2X improvement? No but for cool gigs and recordings I always bring the vintage stuff if I can
@@JonMonter For what it's worth, I've done a couple of things to my RI Deluxe that I think improved it quite a bit.. Vintage 30 Celestion - big difference, brings outs the mids a bit, overall I think it's just a much nicer sounding speaker (thanks to Zac Childs recommendation), old USA made GE power tubes, also swapped out the rectifier tube for an old USA Truetone. I quit the Russian, Chinese tubes as I think they are junk. WIth the old amps I had I honestly can't remember ever having to replace tubes.. not so with the Russian & Chinese junk. My amp is one of the early Reissues with a fake (non functional) polarity switch which I had wired to the bright cap on the Vibrato channel so the bright cap is now switchable... subtle but noticeable at low volumes.
I wasnt going to sub, but then the lava lamp, and you asked nicely
So... for the at home player, theyre useless 😆 🤣 Love the amp though
I just bought a used one and noticed a drop on channel 2, figured i needed to change tubes to be careful but your vid is exactly what i noticed but without the knowledge of what is happening. Thanks. I was going to buy a blues jr but the 65 clean channel was amazing. 68 DR is great too. Cant go wrong with either Cork sniffer, 😂... That's nicer than fart smeller. Im going to be a little nicer and borrow your phrase
498T & 490R 😉😊🥲😋💘❤💯👍
You gotta crank i t up
Awesome!
Thanks For Watching!
Good luck brother, I’m wanting to audition for this too, but I’d be happy for them and you, if they choose u
Thanks Beach Boy! If I get the gig I'll let you know and you can hang out back stage with me!
@@JonMonter awesome . I would definitely hangout. More than anything the best part of getting that band member job is getting to be friends with Billy. He is a ultra cool songwriter music making singer genius and young living legend
@@boonesboroughbeachboy9341 yes you are right about that, Billy is the man
As you may have noticed the bright cap has maximum effect at lower settings of the volume control, and progressively less as you turn it up. This is because the cap is bypassing the series element of the volume control. At 10 there will be effectively no difference.
Thanks for that, yes I did notice something happening when I turn it up but to be honest I don't 'crank' this amp - its got its original speaker and I usually don't bring this to super loud gigs anyways.
@@JonMonter Yeah, it's not often we get a chance to crank them up irl. Lol.
The great thing about Input 1 is that it eliminates any need for an overdrive pedal that thins your guitar's tone.
Sounds awesome
😮😮😮
Damn. Killing it.
Thanks man!
Rad, SoCal represent
Thanks man
More Mids on the Les…opposite with the Tele
no different to the sounds im getting from any other amp or the Logic Guitar Rig in the studio. an amp'd signal is what it is. obviously eq compression and mic placement, room and fx can make these amps come alive, but the vintage stuff is way overpriced.
The 490 and 498 sound…. Balanced, perfect and almost mastered
Great video. Just got the Space in 2023 and I'm learning how to do the "deep dive" with this unit and using an expression pedal. I like the H9 software to create/modify patches. This pedal is overwhelming with what it can do, like my Boss DD500 delay, but it's fun to play around with to come up with unique sounds. I'm most confused by the Dynaverb section - I haven't quite figured out how it works (I know it's ducking/limiting, etc.) to create a useful patch. I have been playing acoustic, electric guitar and bass in church worship teams for over 25 years.
Thanks for watching! Yes it's definitely a great pedal, I myself have not messed around too much with the Dynaverb. If you come up with a good preset let me know!!
Buenos días, muy bien vídeo amigo. Estás dos pastillas, están en la misma liga, he tenido las dos y a mí me gusta más la Gibson 498t, va a gustos. Un abrazo ❤.
Hi Fernando! Im sorry I don't speak Spanish, but I know enough to read the first sentence, thanks for watching!
To my ears I prefer the fender deluxe. The soldano sounded better in the mix, but on its own I didn't like it. The orange isn't the most sparkly clean but I do feel it out weighed the marshall... I found the Marshall to be a little boring but was still better than the soldano played on its on with no mix. All great amps and all useful, I think fender still King of the cleans. But that being said, in a playing out setting most people is not going to pay too much unless of course there are other but nine times out of 10 people just want to feel the groove.
Hey Johnny! Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching the video. Yeah I love the fenders as well! You are totally right that most people just want to feel the music and probably don't know what a 'bad' clean tone is besides sounding totally wacky or out of tune. But I like bringing that '65 deluxe reverb out - sounds so great and gives me a little 'street' cred that bleeds into my playing ya know?
@@JonMonter definitely know what you mean brother. Keep up the great work with the vids.
need to put them back to back to tell a difference. not all 3 positions then switch guitars.
Are those 500k pots?
Hey RateDepth! Man, im not sure. I believe they are the stock ones from the factory , why do you ask?
@@JonMonter It has a pretty significant effect on tone. 500k pots will be much brighter (wide open) compared to 300k or 250k pots.
The Gibson 498t has always been my favorite bridge Humbucker, so of course I prefer the tone, You know you can roll down the volume knob a tad it cleans up, roll up and it has balls. The Lollars have no where to go by comparison IMHO. However, it's all about what you like so I'm glad your happy. Feel free to send me your old pups :)
I like that you take your own route.
Thanks Nester, I appreciate you
I don't understand how some people preferred the Lollar? ok, it sounds good, no problem, but it doesn't sound "Gibson". Better to buy another guitar if you don't like this kind of warm and creamy sound. The 490R / 498T combination is a typical success in the spirit of Gibson. Thanks for the video. A french musician.
Hey Eric, Thanks for watching!
I think you might want to have a Les Paul handy that has the stock pick ups. Listening to this on my headphones I really like the sound of the stock pick ups, plain clean. They’re brassier rounder and more articulated. However, when you go into overdrive, crunch or distortion, that’s where the PAF style pick ups really shine. The hotter stock pick ups tend to get muddier and crunchier. The tone is more brash than brass. The PAF style low output, pick ups really love to be driven. It’s where they’re best and, quite frankly, it’s what they’re most coveted for. everyone wants to hold Gibson burst tone. I just ordered a Les Paul and I’m putting these high winds in it.
Input 2 sounds perfect for all your Guitars. I use 2 only now, it meand I can actually get a cleaner sound and more volume before the amp explodes. For recording 2 again works better even with boost type pedals and echo..it sounds more accurate and not so spikey. Great dexterity in your picking, sounds fab!
Thanks Giulio! Yes for almost all my guitars I use #2. rock on!
" OK You Puss Freaks "
More, neck pu is ALNICO II vs V on Gibson...
Using a comp in a vs is totally stupid, dorry.
This is an instrumental version of (made by Yngwie in REH video intro) .. which song? Hadn't lyrics yet maybe.. still is great as an instrumental
Thanks for watching Gustavo! I think the song is called "see you in hell....dont be late" or something like that.
Lollar Imperial High Winds, clarity for fun!
You want to subscribe haha
Haha Well did you?
@@JonMonter Of course!
Useful . Good video. Thanks
Thanks Ted! Glad you found it useful, which one did you like?
@@JonMonter I really like the Marshall. Funny, because I own an Orange Rocker 32 and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III, (Also a Bogner/Line 6 DT50 212, Blackstar HT5R, Yamaha THR10 but no ACTUAL Marshall...yet lol). I don't have any actual pedals yet. I have a Line 6 HD500X and an Eleven Rack I use for effects. I suspect a few well chosen pedals would sound better than the effects I have. Like maybe a TS9 going into an OCD into the Orange. Maybe a Strymon Timeline in the effects loop of the Hot Rod. But I have analysis paralysis and haven't bought any. MIM Strat, Epi 335 Ultra, Jay Thurston Les Paul, James Tyler Variax 69S, Epi SG, Furch Vintage 2 RS-SR and some Yamaha flat tops, and a classical from Japan in the 70s. Lotta gear collected since 1976 or so. Lotta playing. Not a lot of knowledge on how to turn the knobs to get specific sounds. Not a lot of knowledge on what gear sounds like what. That's why I watched and continue to watch videos and the subject.
@@tedc6694 I think all of these amps have very useful clean tones, at a gig no one would complain, unless you had 4 amps side by side for people to hear. Yeah learning how to use all the amps and effects is almost like learning another instrument itself! I can tell you the strymon timeline is an amazing delay, I have other strymon pedals and they are really good. The timeline might be too much for you if you've never had too many pedals, there's a million types of delays and they all have their own tweaks and perimeters. Start with some good quality more 'simple' effects, and start to learn how to use them. Fortunately there's a ton of tutorials and reviews here on CZcams. If you need any help I'd be happy to talk more via email
For some reason I’ve never heard this topic covered before
Hey Greg! Thanks for watching! Yeah it makes a huge difference, especially when recording. Input 2 really cleans things up with humbuckers, try it! Thanks again
I've come across so many fanboys of guitar brands that believe that a few QC issues aren't a big deal on a $3000 guitar. It's one thing to buy a used Gibson LP from someone that used it a lot, and it has some wear, maybe a couple of dings, it's another when that kind of stuff comes straight from the factory for full price. Can you still enjoy a guitar when the finish isn't perfect, or the binding isn't cut inconsistently, or when the nubs on the fret ends aren't perfect? Yes. Those things wouldn't affect how much I enjoy the sounds and playability of a guitar. In that sense, these issues are no problem. But, when you are buying a guitar from the factory, and it passes a bunch of hands, goes for a final inspection, and they sign off on the guitar, then that is an issue. That's an issue that speaks to how the company views it's customers. Gibson knows they have a built in base of fans that are brand loyal. To them, Gibson can do no wrong. These people are so emotionally tied to the brand, it becomes part of their identity. The fact that they will sell people a $3000 guitar, and know people will accept any issue it has, speaks volumes. And, when a company is so caught up in suing other brands for making their guitars better than they are, instead of putting that energy and money into making a better guitar is insulting to a player. You will absolutely have issues with a guitar once in a while. Even $5000 guitars may have something. But, you shouldn't be expected to pay full price for a guitar that has some flaws. If Gibson or Fender wants to allow B-Stock guitars, they should ask for B-Stock pricing. It's as simple as that. Sure, I would absolutely buy a Gibson with a hair under the clear coat. but I want it for less, because in 20 years when I may sell it, someone is going to point out that hair, and expect to pay less for it.
Coud not agree more 'it's always something'. That moron at Guitar Center where I bought my custom is a prime example - he said he 'didn't even look for flaws' on his 8k+ R8 or whatever he had. Granted he probably wanted to make the sale but still its mind boggling people's ultra loyalty to the brand. I still LOVE my Gibsons, and another LP or maybe an SG is 100% in my future, but I will not buy new and I will do my homework like I did on my R9 and that thing is a beast. We should be glad there are so many great examples of Gibson guitars out there for us to play and buy, unfortunately there's a bunch of lemons out there too. Thanks again for watching
Can you tell me how the external speaker jack works? Does it cut out the inyrtnal speaker? Does it lower the impedance
Hey SD thanks for watching. I’m actually not sure how that jack works. I’ve never needed to use it. I have an impression that the ohm is something weird like 4 or something. I’m sure you could find pages of info online if you search it out. If you find anything of note please recommend with what you find!
@@JonMonter thanks for responding. If I find out anything, I'll reply here
@@JonMonter I ask "uncle doug" on his page. His answer " Uncle Doug It's parallel to the cabinet speaker jack, so the two jacks are an either/or arrangement: You can only use one jack at a time, i.e. unplug the cabinet speaker and then plug in an external speaker.....never both at the same time. " I asked about ohm / load and he hasnt answered yet
@@SD-nj1cy thanks SD! Yes would like to hear about the load - if he gets back to you. Thanks again
Amazing! Subbed
Thanks for checking it out Aaron!
great vid!
Thanks for watching Christopher! What Gibsons do you have?
is it possible to jump channels?
Hey Akbar! I have never tried it myself. I will look it up and see what I can do. I was going to try it awhile ago b/c someone else mentioned it but I forgot about it. Thanks for watching man
what is that initial effect in the first verse?
Hey John! Thanks for watching, its a dotted 8th delay with a Low Pass filter sweep I have going on an expression pedal
I know everyone has their own conceptions about what defines certain tones, such as "sparkly", but I was confused because I've heard Fenders, Marshalls and even Soldanos be much more sparkly sounding than the examples here. Then I noticed that you had the treble set *below 5* on all of them. Not trying to be an ass about it, but really? Treble and presence are precisely where you get sparkle from.
To tell you the truth I'm never happy with the way my guitars sound on these videos. I can never get it to sound even in the ballpark from what I hear in the room (mic placement? no outboard gear? I don't know). I tried to get the best tone I could with each amp. But about the treble - I find too much treble harsh sounding - maybe thats where the sparkle is - but in the room the fenders sound great, and to my ears pretty 'sparkly'. Thanks for watching
@@JonMonter No problem, thanks for the reply and not taking offence. It didn't occur to me how much different you might be hearing them in person.
@@darwinsaye yeah man I really feel to do these kinds of videos you need to be a competent recording engineer too. Im just recording these with an Apollo X4 into Garage Band, so not exactly a super duper set up as far as recording stuff goes. Also im sort of throwing up the mic by aiming 'at the cone' but I know in college they teach whole classes on mic placement, so there's some improvement to be had there as well. Thanks again mk win
First, playing a gibson guitar through a fender amp is not what leo invisioned when designed so not the tone you are playing at all.
OK man, sure. Sounds great to me but you know best buddy
@@JonMonter best buddy, going to look that up, hoping it's not a quip
Oh, was a quip oh well, did you see hendrix trying to get a decent tone from his gibson v playing on a marshall amp? You are mixing things that don't mix, hendrix started out with sunn amps and then to fender amps then to marshall amps but mostly used a fender guitar, this man made his best music on a fender strat played through a modified marshall amp.
Thank you for doing this comparison. Very well done video and great playing.
Thanks Anriv! Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching
Great video! I love Les Paul's but sadly am sending a Studio I received last week back due to cosmetic issues. Also in the last year I've returned a Standard with similar problems. Also in 2016 I received an SG with paint overspray! My conclusion? I LOVE the Les Paul but these things are unacceptable period. How QC can sign off on these defects to me defies logic
Hey minigmac! Thanks for watching. Yes im with you - how the hell can anyone let these guitars leave the factory with such obvious issues? It makes no sense. Im sure you've googled Gibson QC problems and some pics that come up are crazy. Maybe it was take your kid to work day and some 5 year old signed the QC paperwork. I love Gibsons too so I will buy another LP at some point but will have to see it in person before making the purchase. I hope you get the LP of your dreams and Merry Christmas
Thank you for helping me id and locate the 47pf capacitor. It sits on the Vibrato Channel Volume pot. Regarding input 1 for single coil and input 2 for humbucking pickups. That really twisted my brain around. I've never ever heard that before. Did you learn that from another source or just conclude it yourself. It sounds logical, I'm just blown that I've never heard that before. I've been using Fender amps since 1964.
Thanks Carl, I never heard it before either - my tech told me about it. Check out my channel b/c I re did the input comparison - you cannot have cables into both inputs b/c it negates the resistor in input 2. But its a game changer on the deluxe - you can get cleaner cleans at a higher volume with hum buckers
Orange took pedals like a champ
yeah that's a real nice amp, I don't totally dig the dirty channel but the clean is real nice
Great video! So interesting! Orange and deluxe sounded best, but all had great sounds
thanks for watching Houdini! Yes all have very usable cleans, even if not apparent in the video. I use all these amps live and they all sound good IMO. but yes the orange and the fenders are the best
I much prefer the sound of orange. The worst in my opinion is the Marshall.
Thanks for watching Emmanuel! That Orange is good, that's true! Marshall is good in its own way and on a gig is perfectly fine.
