personally, I would have fixed that scratch sound coming from the pickup selector and changed out the pots on the vol and tone to full size (if not already full size) before shilling out money for any pickups, cheap or $$

haha i also bought my first 8 string (first gituar come to think of it) about the time Obzen just released. wathing you play is phenominal, makes me wish i stayed more consistent in my gituar practice but picking up the slack nowadays. Practicing daily:D

I own 8240 on the same chassis. The best hard tone machine I've ever had. The only thing this head is even better in some purposes - it's smaller and has more mobility when working with 3rd party speakers.

I use a BOSS ME-25 effects processor! An it has a erffect/tone that turns my guitar into a bass and it is fucknig WICKED

The BBE are really cheap versions and not the same company of the Sonic Maximizer that was the original used by bands like Fleetwood mac in Rumors album so it really isn't a pro maximizer thats the reason you can buy them used for 60 and they don't even think BBE make them anymore but Behringer makes a copy

hello! how does it sound with a pedal preamp like a metalzone or other preamp in the FX Loop of the valvestate?

All the people who don't want to save for a tube Marshall say the MG is great!

I use GTR Moden with Rosen Digital and a Mashall 1960 Vintage IR and it sounds very good. I have used several Amps sims and I prefer simple. This does the job and I load it in Reaper as a track template and forget that its GTR and surprised how hard it crunches.

this is a little off topic , but ive been able to 100 percent accurately recreate the fortin meshuggah amp in the axe fx xl+ by layering the fryette deliverance with the Splawn od2-3 and a eq pedal dialed in like the 33 from your previous videos.. the vht supplies the midrange and high end as well as a crap ton of articulation , and the splawn is dialed in to add the low end thump and a little bit of texture. i saw videos of mike making the amps while using a deliverance 4x12 and so i got the impulses for that as well , and it is 100 percent accurate to the tone in mikes video of the meshuggah amp. i thought someone like you could appreciate this tid bit

This utube posted 5 years ago but I'd like to add some info. If you tap and hold. (The same Button to choose models 17-32) you also get the following Tap and hold then adjust reverb for cut off. For big room or smaller room. Tap and hold then adjust Chan volume will adjust presence. You mentioned it did not have presence feature. Tap and hold then adjust bass for delay repeats. Also tap and hold then adjust midrange for delay volume There's more for compression but can't remember them.

Beautiful guitars but because of the bowl shape (which I love aesthetically) they always feel like they are slipping off my leg and I’m chasing the dang thing 🥺

considering that a Diezel amp costs over 4k for the amp alone and the Fractal Axe FX has all the Diezel amp models such a deal.

I am looking at Fractal FM9 or Axe FX III and Kemper Profiler. Wish there was a way to try and buy first.

Thank you. Great, honest review!

Would love to see your eq settings for the solidus as I sold all my real amps and have the solidus.

So what was Zackks signal chain and what is in front and what’s in the loop? (Sorry kinda new to this)

So good. Sincerely a great job, Ryan. Some absolutely banging grooves and chugs.

From what I see - most of 8-string players can't really play these guitars unless they have skills like Abasi or guys from Archspire . For the rest it would rather make more sense to just have a good baritone 7 string . Now you can buy a 9 string guitar with two truss rods . This is totally just a marketing strategy - "if we invent a 9 string we will make the 7 and 8 strings look completely normal next to the 9 string model" . Making other products less ridiculous .

I have a fryette power station and would like to capture the signal between my cab and the fryette so i capture all my rig(3 pedals into amp into fryette power station into cab) how should i procede? how to connect the cables? i have a tonex capture and focusrite interface ? thanks to unlock my brain cauz i'm kinda fryed after trying to figure it all! 1 watt brain when it comes to cables puzzles!

Boss SD1

When using it as a standalone for riffing and noodling, how can I add effects to it, like delay, reverb, etc.? Is that possible in the standalone @ottoaudio?

Great video Ryan!!! Love your channel and you seem like such a good, genuine guy with a ton of knowledge!!!! One of the best things with the FM9 is the gate in the input block is so good that you dont have to waste a block on a gate unless your really going for that snappy Djent sound. I mean the FM9 isn’t cheap, but for what your getting I think it’s definitely 100xs worth its value. I’ve had mine for a couple months now and I’m at the point where I can get rid of most of my analog gear. I keep thinking Ill go back to my old gear but I never do. The FM9 sounds that great!!!!

Great video

To much talking had to fast faward

Back in the day, I was going to replace the amp section in this amp with a Sunn 1200s 😂

The line out could go to an EQ for sure but I presumed it’s main purpose was to slave another amp too; kinda surprised they messed up the signal with any internal filtering.

Great video, just a quick note about the mono output - it does have a practical use, in fact I actually use it this way myself! In my case, it's not practical to add this to my pedalboard (for various reasons), so I simply have it sitting on top of my second amplifier. I have two identical outputs coming out of my tuner (so I can mute one amplifier for breakdowns, intros etc.) I run the second cable from my pedalboard into the Mimiq and out the mono output into the second amp. I set the doubler-mode to 1, I turn the "dry" knob to zero and the "effect" knob to full, that way it's modulating only the second amp and creating the desired stereo effect.

My take on good guitar sound revolves around 3 major points: 1. It has to fit the song, as stated in this video; 2. It must not overwhelm or muddy the other instruments in the mix; 3. The listeners have to be able to discern the notes being played. None of these are unbreakable rules, since music is art and can be experimented with to infinite lengths, they are more of a guideline to get to the desired result as fast as possible.

just order your presets in the order of your set, and keep pressing "next"

I freakin love this !

Your electra guitar is beautiful.

Great honest concise review and demo. background info also interesting. Good explanation of pros and cons. I have a cheap one in my sights for use as a back up amp at small gigs, and to be honest it's only the clean channel and stereo output that I want as I'll be plugging in my pedalboard for all the effects.

Ha, that Behemoth riff.....

I bought the exact same guitar in 2006. It is still in the case in perfect condition! Not a fan of the Infinity pickups tho.

I have Behringer X2222 USB MIXING DECK had it for years, and it still is great, so I'm buying the ultra metal pedal, i youse my hand to youse the pedal. Found your video very interesting, so thank you. Just starting to learn guitar, so this pedal is for me. Thank you for a great video, I will subscribe.

Holy shit we were at the same Louder than Life show lol

I have 5 of mark series amps, Green stripe, Red stripe, Blue Stripe and a a IIC+.. if they were vastly different they wouldn't have just swiped each version with just a magic marker swipe or a black dot or a + sign. The big difference in the IIC+ and the Mark III was the third channel. Mesa got noticeably different with the Mesa badging vs the Boogie badges. The Rectifier series,The lone star, Road King,Nomad, etc came later and did sound different... The stiletto was probably the most different being EL34 based shooting toward the Marshall tone. Even my newer Mark 5 EL84 based amp sits in my studio with the older mark III'S and IIC+ it too sounds really close even all these years later with totally different power section/ tubes. The petrucci amp is a modern Mark amp and you can line up all the Mark series amps and NO one in the audience would ever know the difference and most guitar players blind folded couldn't pick them out one from the other especially with the transparent EVM 12L black shadow speaker or an MC-90 black shadow. The IIC+ landed production in the right time to become the flagship vintage boogie. Thats when 80's music was huge and that amp was produced at the right time for the players who made it famous. it didn't make them famous. I would argue a Mark III purple, red, blue or green stripe Mark III could have been used by the players who made the IIC+ famous and those albums and concerts wouldn't have sounded any different. They just weren't available at the time those bands recorded those albums. They stopped the IIC+ when the mark III came into production. They stopped the III when the Mark IV started and so on....they are all great amps and tonally are the same. Most of those bands stopped playing the IIC+ and went to the mark III when it came out because the sound was basically the same but the 3 had a third channel, everyone loved that.

What’s funny is Glen Tipton from Judas Priest played one. 😂

Good evening. Do you connect the pedals through the effects loop of the amplifier or through the input? What is the exact connection you use? Thank you very much.

Absolutely awesome mate. Great from start to finish. I shall be sharing and spreading the word for you

00:36 Good stuff, keep it up.

Sick dude

Get the turbo. The updates are using more and more cpu. For a little extra, you’re playing it safe…..

Clean tone is awesome .... very warm. I find a lot of the distortion tones to sound boxy .... perhaps it's the amp

Good job man. I added a RHYTHM 2 VOLUME, on my long chassis 89' MK3 green stripe. It needed it. I also had put the channel 2 footswitch from the front to the back next to the channel 3 footswitch jack. No clue why it wasn't done that way to begin with. The Green Stripe is the one. More refined than the others. It's still just as pissed off... I feel they lost the magic with the MK4 and up. Still a great amp.

how to connect that small pedal to cab?

Holy... Death part was AMAZING, you edited all and mixed? congra t u l a t i o n s !!!

Too much Metal for one hand🙌🙌🙌🤯😎

Bra this is hitting so frickin hard RN. \M/ \M/

this is so sick dude! def gonna be great for intense rev sessions in my studying lol
