@@scottwilson7095 congrats on your new guitar! I use a simple acoustic gig bag. Seems to work just fine. I don’t take it out of the house, but if I did I’d probably look at getting something sturdier. I would think a case that fits a dreadnought should do well.
Big fan of JM here too. Becoming a Recording King best fan too. Have two and now looking at the 12 string. It sounds excellent on your recording. Did you enhance it at all? Thanks for the great sound!
JM is on my bucket list to see live! Yes, I'm singing into the condenser and I believe I have a dynamic just off camera that I'm running through a preamp. Then I did a litte EQ in post production using Logic Pro. Other than that, tried to capture the natty sound.
My girl was scrolling Facebook marketplace one day like maybe 7 or so years ago, and told me to come see an amp someone was selling for $40, a 212 Hot Rod DeVille, I couldn't drive over there fast enough, I asked if i could bring a guitar to test the knobs and all, and they said ya. Everything worked fine, i still can't believe it. I now run it with my Fender M-80 212, where the DeVille is the dry dark amp, and the M-80 is the bright amp running most of the wet effects, and has a stereo fx loop for my stereo pedals, so I get a wet/dry setup with a stereo feel. The DeVille, that doesn't have wheels, sits perfectly on top of the M-80, that does have wheels, so it sorta feels like one amp, not a left/right situation.
@@JohnBudnikBand oh i am! Those two amps sound like they were made for eachother as far as my ears tell me. I've been enjoying the two-amp setup for maybe 2 years now, and it's only added to my love of both amps tenfold!
@@JohnBudnikBand and I've had the M-80 for more like 12 or 13 years, maybe even longer, but never thought to put em together, and never had an ABY box til I decided to try, and man, my tone is outa this world, I have a Source Audio EQ2 sending different eq curves to both amps, and it's just insane how nice it sounds. I run a Radial Twin City for an awesome stereo signal. And I like putting my shimmer verb in the "dry" DeVille so it's a darker shimmer, but it doesn't layer on any delay or my other verb pedals or mods, keeps things not so nuts when I'm using "too many" pedals at the same time. The MXR 5150 with the gain just below noon is my main deathmetal distortion, with an EHX East River for that bit more saturation when i want it, and man this setup cooks! I don't like it nearly as much, but both amps' distortions with their gains at max is also a pretty fun sound, i already loved the M-80's fuzz-like distortion, but like most people am neither here nor there about the DeVille's distortion, but both together are more than twice as good as they are apart. I lucked out with this setup for sure!!
whoa, whoa, whoa... You should not speak into a ribbon mic like that without a pop filter. The ribbon is delicate and will break or stretch when exposed to plosives. The ribbon on that thing is probably already sagging from that onslaught.
A ribbon mic is not a dynamic mic. It's a ribbon, I think you meant is it a passive or active mic. Also, to clarify, you can use a preamp with any mic. Again, I think you might be referring to "phantom power". I know it's just words, but I think it's important to clarify. Edit: turns out I'm wrong about a ribbon not being a dynamic mic, you were correct about that after I researched it a bit. They do, however, make active ribbon mics so you don't have to pump those full of gain to get a usable level.
@JohnBudnikBand I took the quantum as a joke. Lol I thought that was great. I appreciate the video, though, as I'm trying to get as many sound samples from ribbon mics from various users. I'm trying to figure out what mic might be good for my voice to get rid of my siblance. I am tired of spending minutes to hours trying to get rid of it on my mics I use currently, if a ribbon mic doesn't work, I may just try some pricey software.
This guitar is Recording King's revivial of the old 1930's flat top box that was the axe of so many of the old blues players. The painted on fret markers were typical of that era. Just on a guess, I would say Recording King's marketing department looked at the Gretsch Jim Dandy, and said, "Yep, we can do that."
In some of my other postings on my other social media pages I say “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction…from this sickness…” Been under the weather for about 2 weeks now. 🤒
You are just like a little kid playing compulsively, you should introduce the instrument and show and explain all the functions, looked very stupid....
Just a piece of info for beginners looking for budget harps to start with. The Fender Blues Deluxe will allow you to bend the notes. With no problem at all. Bending is kind of the soul of the instrument, so its quite importart thing to learn. And most questions of beginners is "can i bend a fender or an easttop? " Yes, Yes you can. Good luck folks! 👍
there has been 3 revisions made to this amp over the years so 4 versions , yours looks like the first version and less desirable , which is partly why there is a price difference among them , but prices vary greatly on 2 amps exactly the same lots of times ...
@@JohnBudnikBand yea , it's strange that the first version is american made and the later versions were/are made in mexico yet are more desirable , they made changes to the drive channel and upgraded the speakers from what i've read ..
@@JohnBudnikBand there are some modifications they can do to it that don't cost a lot of money that are suppose to make it a much better amp , but i have no experience with it just read about it over the years, that being said if your happy with it i wouldn't worry about it especially if your using pedals with it ..
I got rid of my 2x12 because I had to pay rent and couldn't afford it at the time. The place I pawned it at no longer had it when I tried to get it back :(
