Pick up 'The Michael Gregory Band - Guitarchitecture' to hear more of Michael's amazing guitar playing.
To demonstrate the absolute noise levels of all of the amps in this series, no noise reduction or noise gates were used. No EQ or compression was added during the mixdown. You are hearing the raw, unprocessed sound of these amps (except for the horrible audio compression that the CZcams bots thought would sound good).
Michael Gregory had no idea what guitar amps he was going to demonstrate when he walked into the studio the day of 'filming', so if you see him fumbling around with the controls, these were his natural first reactions.
SIGNAL CHAIN:
Guitarist: Michael Gregory
Guitar 1: Ernie Ball / Music Man LIII Steve Lukather model
Guitar 2: Fender Telecaster (Mexican) w/ Seymour Duncan Antiquity (50's era PAF replicas) humbucker pickups.
Amp: Fender Acoustasonic 15 (Bone Stock)
Guitar Amp Recording Chain: Senheisser MD409 → API 312 Mic Pre → Neve 1073 (EQ bypassed). (No signal processing was applied during mixdown)
Michael's Lavalier Microphone: Audio Technica MT830R. This microphone blended with the guitar amp mics and provided a little bit of ambience. We chose to leave Michael's narration a tad bit low, as to not create an overabundance of ambiance, and also chose to leave this microphone unprocessed, without EQ and compression.
Patrick's Microphone: Shure SM7b (this mic was completely ducked by the guitar amp mic to keep the quantity of mics to a minimum while you hear Michael playing)

great test, in fact the best one i have found. Finally somebody doing a proper test for people like me who knows nothing as looking for a friend as a practice/home amp etc as a gift. Been looking at this amp for a while trying to get a non bias opinion and finally found you guys. Thank you for finally making my mind up. I will follow you as my number 1 music equipment guys. Lovely playing.

I'm really glad you did this with the regular electrics. Demos/reviews with acoustic guitars are easy to find, but with standard electrics not so much. So this was exactly what I was looking for as I'm not interested in playing acoustic guitar, unless it's an arch top, or a semi. To my ear everything sounded fantastic. Great clean sound for jazz, and loved the Run To You riff! And when you got it to break up it also sounded great, so I'm guessing it probably takes pedals pretty well too for crunch/distortion at lower volumes. Fantastic job. So if you want to busk with a regular electric rather than an acoustic, or just sing and play for home practice, and have just one amp for both guitar and mic, then this sounds like it would be a viable option. Great job on showing off this little amp with regular guitars. Wish more people would do the same!

No, it doesn't take overdrives and distortions well at all because of the Tweeter. It's about projection, not saturation. Modulation and time-based effects it goes well with, though.

Excellent guitar playing!
I have to pick up an Acoustasonic Amp.

When you start playing RUSH I fell off my chair... Genius

[@louisgarcia5971]

That tiny little amp is a monster! For its size.👍

[@wildwoodtop]

You are now officially a Stratmaster 🤟

[@scarsfromdasouth]

Hi, i need to mix the microphone connected to this amp with guitar pedals connected to this amp, what device do i need and does it connect? thanks in advance

[@aleksandarrac7106]

A šta ako uključim akustičnu gitaru u pojačalo za električnu? Može li to da radi?

[@jimmyhansen5842]

That amp is for acoustic guitars i case you don't know......did I hear acoustic guitar in this demo???

[@velvettonestudios4914]

No acoustic guitar on this one. We don't usually record acoustic guitars through amps unless we are going for a lo-fi 'effect'. We have another video planned that he will be running through all of our acoustic guitars at the studio. Might be fun to throw in this amp for that video too. Thank you for clarifying.

[@potatosalad772]

2:19 what is the song name ?

[@i.c.1563]

Not sure @Potato Salad, but sounds like the Hip to me...

[@velvettonestudios4914]

I believe it's Brian Adams 'Run to You'

[@timadams9119]

...Really, It's named "ACOUSASONIC" for a reason.
