I love listening to David. I learn so much. His advice is always on point.
Great video. I love my 08 DGT
I use my FX loop with an EQ pedal as a second master volume and additional final EQ if needed. I can play at lower volumes with better tone this way. The power tube and circuit are engaged as if it’s at high volume but since the preamp is coming through at a low volume it’s manageably loud. Saw a form of this on that pedal show. As far as actual effects a in an FX loop, it depends what you’re doing. If your using delays and reverbs as a major texture in a soundscape tyoe thing it might be a good idea. Yet, if you’re just blues-rocking then don’t need them. For me it’s all a budget thing. I only have 1 amp and limited funds and have to play various types of music not just my own or my preferred genre, so I’ll use whatever features I have available to me to get a pleasing sound, that includes using and FX loop.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jeff also today is my friends birthday ❤😊
I have been starting use less distortion or overdrive. ..just a clean boost (klon style) in the front of the amp....I think the effects loop may help with modulation and reverb but I only have one amp that has it. 15 Watt World :p
I am so over effect loops... I recently purchased a 66 Deluxe Reverb and I assure you I don't feel like it needs an effects loop.
🙌🏻
You don't need an effects loop if you are playing through a clean amp, full stop. Effects loops are only useful when you are overdriving the preamp of the amp to the point of hard clipping, in which case the effects loop (assuming it's a good quality one) is a good place to preserve your time based effects. Otherwise, putting time based effects in front of the preamp is just fine.
@@danielconrad764 If I am going to push the amp to 11 I will use a load box of some kind and then add time based effects after the power amp. I have used the WAZA Tube Amp Expander with one of my Morgan amps and sweet holy moses it sounds glorious.
Thanks for the video! Not to argue with you guys (because you're great), but your comments about effects loops are pretty myopic. Plenty of current amps (not just amps from the 90s) generate their distortion from overdriving their preamps, with, for the most part, the power amp is just amplifying that. If you want to use those amps the way they were meant to be used, a well-implemented effects loop is great to have. Your Two Rocks are great examples of amps that generate (most of) their distortion from the preamp. The reason the effects loops in Two Rocks (excepting the TS-1) is a "courtesy" is because they are unbuffered and don't work well, especially if you use long cables to/from a pedalboard.
I get that David doesn't want to use an effects loop, and I understand you can't just add an effects loop to his amps, given their topologies and the way they are designed to work. And I get that you surely don't need an effects loop if you're running your amp clean, or almost clean. That's fine, but so are amps designed to get their overdrive from the preamp with well-implemented effects loops. A good example of this, outside of the 'metal amp' space, are the Mesa Fillmore amps.
I have been putting my Delay pedal through the effects loop for 25+ years! IMHO the Delay sounds the best this way...
The great thing is, you can do whatever you want! It’s a wonderful world.
@@JeffMcErlain Absolutely! If it works for you...then dont change a thing!
Hey Jeff I love your channel. I'm an Emmy Award winning video editor and a musician. I'd love to edit your (and anyone else who might be interested) vids for you! I've actually produced and edited a CZcams channel with over 100k subscribers, I'd love to chat with your about it and see if I might be a good fit!
Hey I appreciate that. I'm happy with my team at the moment!
@@JeffMcErlain No worries if you ever need some one please keep me in mind!
the amp sounds really muddy to my ears. no sparkle at all.
It wasn’t an amp demo. Also as you could see the audio was less than optimal. Listen to an official demo from PRS or better yet try one.
I just bought one. I spent quite a bit of time trying to dial in a little more top end. I was running the amp through an attenuator, then into a 1x12 cabinet fitted with an ancient Rola Celestion G12M green back. I discovered a number of things in the process.
First, the amp is designed to be played at club volume. It’s also voiced to emphasize middle frequencies, which is David Grissom’s preference.
Secondly, it’s not configured like any amp I’ve ever owned, very counterintuitive. The controls interact in a very unorthodox way. The included footswitch plays a part in that.
Thirdly, the amp seems to be picky as to which speaker it’s played through. David Grissom said that the Celestion Vintage 30 sounds best to him. I think that’s what comes in the matching cabinet.
Last night I found a video of Grissom doing an in-depth demo of the amp. It cleared up a lot of questions I had. I haven’t had a chance to try out his instructions.
Grissom’s preferred lead tone doesn’t really have any sparkle at all, but that’s the way he sets up the amp. It will remain to be seen if I can dial in sufficient top end. Stay tuned.
