- Hey there... Did you miss me? Probably not, but I just wanted to make a video about why the Nirvana tone recreation videos have stopped...
Great, super awesome, super fun, incredible tones are coming back soon... Along with more story telling and in the future I will be incorporating more of my own music into my channel. Also, I just realized it's a Monday... I hate Mondays, so if you're like me, I hope this video will cheer you up! ✌🏻
Dude we REALLY need an album of you riffing. Your tone is incredible and I LOVE the moody riffs you play in alot of tour vids!
wow that means a lot, thank you!!! its coming I'm working on it !
@@AaronRash No problem man! Love your content! As a HUGE Nirvana fan, seeing someone more professional like you really dissecting my favorite Nirvana tones is SUPER cool!
Has a good 'Batman' vibe to it. Like if Gotham City was Seattle in the 90's...
@@-jank-willson nice comparison :D
@@edwaaard46 speaking of which, that's how I got into Nirvana, with the Batman trailer having 'something in the way' in it
Can't wait to get that Mesa back from you! Thanks again for working on it for me!
cool
@@jamarcus09 so cool
Dude your music is awesome! Would love to hear the full songs you played on that tape machine!
You need to release your songs they’re so good
Especially that first bit
I'd love to hear the full track @ 10:40 it keeps getting stuck in my head 😁
i keep coming back to listen to these little snippets you teased in this
Wow dude. I just found your channel yesterday, and I gotta hand it to you. Your whole "old school" analogue approach to everything is super cool to me. Watching all this old gear come to life, and how good it actually sounds is very satisfying. And the original music you make is so full of vibes, and just totally refreshing. Without being insulting, its like you took the essence of kurts style, and just continued where he left off. Like, some of your riffs, and melodies could easily be mistaken for some rare unreleased nirvana tracks. Keep it up, and like everyone else has already said, a full album of originals would be very cool! Also love your editing. The video with your girlfriend at the end was very well done
You should release an album, your stuff is great
I think i know whats wrong with your amps, I have the same exact thing. My tube deluxe 68 reverb sounds different from day to day. Some days it sounds awesome, and really crappy in others, even max volume is different. I noticed that it depends on the voltage of electricity in the house, it is very unstable for me, as the Russians are constantly bombing power plants and electricity is sometimes 140 sometimes 250 volts. I also noticed that there is a huge difference in sound when playing with voltage stabilizer in a house turned on, even turning on the air conditioner in the room affects my amp, apparently it consumes a lot of energy. I think the problem is that the tube amp is too sensitive. And even your microwave affects the voltage in the house. Sorry for my English, but i think you ll understand what i mean.
P.S My amp is new its only 6 month old, all tubes are fine. I determine whether the amp is working normally or not, by volume, I clearly remember how it sounds at a volume of 2-3-5-10. And usually it is immediately clear that the recording will be bad if the amplifier sounds quiet at a volume of 3 or even 5. So thats when i spot the difference, amp always sounds weak when something wrong with electricity im checking it on the voltage stabilizer screen. Even in my friends house amp sounded differently but that can be due acoustics.
Yeah try a brown box, I have one they are good
Power conditioner would probably resolve that issue, wouldn't it?
kept 15 or 30 minutes the amp on
@@Nival_Cris Some days i play my amp 3-4 hours long when recording on really high volumes, after heating sound is always getting worse, more mud, when amp playing on itself its ok, but when dist pedals plugged in overheated amp, it sound like sh1t.
Check your voltage...your actual home AC power can fluctuate and mess with older equipment. I had older Marshall and Peavey tube amps that were hugely affected...yet others just weren't...didn't make sense until I looked on the back of the amps and realized some of these are expecting 110 to 118V and you're likely getting 120 plus from home outlets...I had access to an old variac and was able to find the "sweet spot" on those older amps...amp tech guy said that there was likely other stuff not up to par going on in the amp too but that this would work. I dunno...I'm not too technical...but not afraid to DIY and try things...
Hmm I have an idea regarding your vintage tube amp problem. Power conditioning is key for maintaining tone consistency. Older apartments really don't like tube amps that much and investing in a power conditioner could possibly fix your problems. Also if your amps run below 120v then using a variac to decrease the wall voltage to match the amp could improve the sound and longevity of your amps. I hope this helps.
Love the Video as always Aaron! You get absolutely insane tones 👍🏼
Love you Aaron, thanks for all your videos, you’re amazing!
This channel is a gem
Your content is amazing, there's not a single video that I haven't learned something new, and it's so well recorded and edited
You never fail to impress. Amazing video. Glad you’re back!
Dude your songs rock! You have that cool tone and vibe
Been a fan since u had 600 subs and have loved every vid since! I love seeing ur videos in fact I look forward to them like every day! Keep em coming
You deserve many more subscribers, your video's productions are awesome and looks great
Happy to see you back. Man your songs are awesome, I love it! You should record an Ep or Lp. Really
This was awesome, love that tape recorder, sounds so cool
Another great video, thank you. Love the tape machine
The video's you're make are Insane I'm super glad that you are here. By the way your songs sound extremly good hope you put them on Spotify or somthing
This video was amazing!! I'm never not impressed by the stuff you post I hope you get your tube amps all working properly cheers!!!
Hey, welcome back! Glad you got everything sorted out
I'll be here waiting for new videos, so take your time if you need it
You are my favourite CZcams channel now! Please continue doing your stuff.
Been a fan since the first tone video that came out because i always get nirvana videos from small youtubers on my recommendation. Never fails to impress me.
Welcome back Aaron! I did miss your consistent posts alot, the Randall sounds great, and yeah I almost immediately recognised that speaker issue relating to a tube issue.
Didn't even know JQ's mesa was so messed up glad it's fixed now, that tape recorder sounds so amazing as well totally dig it, I totally understand why Kurt went with tape as well for mixing in utero.
we did miss you Aaron, i've been your subscriber since 400 subscribers and i've gotta say, your content is top-notch.
Omg you need to release your songs and make an album! it sounds so good!
You don't owe us anything! I am happy to get to see what you share with us! Awesome tone as always. The tape machine sounds super cool and the Stang sound great. I would gladly listen to a few more minutes of music during a video, whether it's originals or covers. Peace!
awesome channelllll
the most insane mustang tones and mixes i have ever heard. and heart shaped box sounds so complete with the added guitar tracks
Dude that song at the end is sick!!!
I find what you make pretty interesting and om sure you get this a lot, but your stuff is underrated
this is my favourite channel ever
awesome video man! do you think you could make a video of how you mic up your cabs and what mics you use??
Heyman, great organ tune. Can you do some organ tone speakers?
(Love your videos)
sehr geil!
Luckily you found the problem and were able to fix it. Good work. In the last JQ videos the Mesa Boogie studio preamp disappeared, now we know where it was.hehe
i'm really obsessed with last song on outro.. please releaese ur music aaron!
the day you come out with an album i don't even know what I'm gunna do
I love the stang-a-tang! i wish i had it myself.
Mate, your inspiring af, you care so much and find meaning in the small things, power to you my dude. Makes me wanna do the same in my life x
Love your work and your songs sound fantastic ! Have you got your tracks online somewhere?
Cool music
someday you plan to upload your own songs? (for example the ones we hear in the intros or outros videos)
That is super weird, dude. Keep us updated. Really curious to find out what it is.
Get a brown box for your tube amps to set the voltage you want for your amp. Also helps extend the life of the tubes.
Stang a tang sounds great but needs a paint job lol
Keep the videos coming buddy, your channel is the best
Was about to say... Definitely a power thing. Either tubes or the power from the wall needs conditioning.
I have the same issue with my tube stuff. I think it’s power coming in under depending on what’s sharing lines with you.
Some advice on tuning: CS guitars has a really good video that shows how to properly tune a guitar. The TLDR is you want to tune the lower strings so that they’re just a little flat but are brought into tune when you pluck them, that way they don’t sound sharp.
I wish i could make riffs like u do
Literally one of the best songs I've heard in a long fucking time at 10:39. Where can I find it???
Voltage!
Check your power in your apartment. The power can change if you have shit consistency in your grid. If it's inconsistent you should invest in a pre load box or whatever it's called, similar to what acdc use on tour (can be seen in the rig rundown)
Check for DC on all the signal leads with cloth insulation under and around the turret board on the Fenders. If its there clean the inside chassis surfaces with alcohol and soak the cloth insulation with alcohol too. Might need a couple-three times for the leads. Sounds like voodoo but it works. Cleans up decades of weird electronics ooze that for whatever reason induces stray dc current.
And then all the rest: new power supply caps and resistors, bring all the bias circuit components back to spec, clean clean clean all the pots, clean the tube sockets, clean old tube pins. You prolly know all this. And yre right about sketchy tubes, even when you've got everything else where its supposed to be they can behave differently from day to day when theyre pooping out, especially dual triodes.
Normally I would say humidity and temperature, because if you keep the speakers in the other room, and you only solder them and put them in the cab occasionally, the paper cone of the speaker adjust to the room conditions.
The fact the speakers sound good on Randall may be because solid state amps have a more predictable and "linear" output than tube amps.
Buuuuuut. This is just a theory. I am more of a player than technician, so take it for what it is: a theory.
Edit: just read about the power consistency in the comments. It is also a good theory IMHO. That would explain the solid state beeing awesome no matter what. You could try to put your amps through a Variac EVH style.
I absolutely love your videos man, no matter the topic 😉!
What's the model of the Randall amp and you repair reel to reels? Do you follow
Pusheen? Love your music, tunes & videography! ✌️❤️🎶🎸
You can just talk man. I'll watch,or play more of your music. It is really good dude. I had that other one you did in my head and I was like what band is that,I want to listen to that. It was Aaron. You have a band name?
Look at getting a Brown Box, you might be getting voltage fluctuations, which solid states are far less sensitive to such things. Old amps generally prefer less than standard wall output anyway, like Fenders like 117 volts.
check the voltage from the wall, it should be 120, sometimes it can go up to 140 or down to 110 and that will directly affect the bias of tube amps. Buy a Variac to exaclty control the wall voltage and a furman power conditrioner after that to clean it up. Same thing happened in my house, made amps sounds horrible
Hey dude, great tones. It sounds a bit odd that all the tubes would start sucking at the same time, could it be that your power is fluctuating - erratic wall voltages or something similar?
I was going to say I bet it's a voltage thing.
Got to let them tubes warm up as well
Everyone in the comments raving about the song during the outro, while I keep coming back for the one at 9:27
Heres some other factors I can think of
-Mic placement varying on speaker
-line in voltage (varying between 110/120 and potentially less, can be tested with a kill-a-watt plug in voltage tester)
-the batteries in you pedals may be running low
I had an issue with my amp, sometimes something was rattling inside, volume was floating around, it all went away with changing a powertube
is your original music available anywhere for download?
where can we listen to your music?
Aaron Riff 9:29
Use vintage USA or European tubes! RCA, GE, Telefunken, Mullard, Amprex etc.. The modern tubes are not the same in quality, longevity or sound! I'm local to you and could test your tubes with my Hickok 800.
Did you always use an attenuator with your tube amps? I had one on a Marshall I had just bought driving it really hard and then it never sounded right. It was only on it for like an evening. Idk. If I remember in one of your older videos you had the same attenuator I did. I never used it again.
amo este canal!!!!
at 9;18 onwards,who else smiled to themselves
Damm bro I hate those problems good luck you will figure it out!
Aaron!
Cooler Aaron.
Mate who is that little lady you got there 😊
what randall amp do you have? commander?
Do you post your music anywhere
Could be the electricity coming from your wall changed ? More volts for exemple ?
Maybe another 10 years
Do you think air humidity would affect speaker tone?
anyone know how to get this bass sound from heart shaped box?
tubes want to be cranked. A Bugera PS-1 changed my Marshall JCM low-end-game. Tone King Ironman ist supposed to be an even better Attenuator. 🤘🎸🔊🔥
Where I can listen your music?! pls!
Could it be the power ? A combination of power inconsistency and air pressure pressure?
Can you explain what connecting the power connector backwards mean?
What pickups were in that mustang?
Whats the song in the end?
I think I have an explanation (rather a parable) for your tube problem.
Think of it like this. You’re riding your bike, it has a hole in its tube, yet you didn’t know it had a hole inside the tires tubing. The tire runs fine for a while, but then goes flat again. Refilling the air in the tire helps for a while, but it’ll eventually deflate, because of the unpatched hole or worn out tubing.
With your tubes (the amp ones) being as old as they are, they have holes in the tire (metaphorically). Changing the speakers (the air in the tire) helps for a while because it’s a different electric current, it’s fresh. But they’ll go flat again. Changing the amp tubes is like changing the tire tubing in the bike.
I only know a few things about electrical doohickeys and even less about tubes (the amp kind), but it’s the thought that counts I guess.
Love your stuff btw, you can do some pretty cool shit
There is no way youv only been playing a year
Check your voltage on your outlets in your apartment
Did you try just re baising your tubes? Amps do drift from time to time making the tubes hotter or colder can change the tone.
Sounds like a voltage fluctuation issue.
You really should release your art somewhere
It seems highly unlikely that all your tubes would fail at the same time.
The speakers sound out of phase - which is unusual. Are you wiring them up with the correct polarity? Or is something causing them to change polarity, some kind of magnetic disturbance? Or you fried your output transformer with impedances too low. Running that quad reverb with one power tube causes the bias to be way-off and sends the incorrect load to the speakers and damages the amp. It ideally should have two in a push-pull configuration.
Are you using power conditioners?
