I've been looking for a new about for awhile to replace my V22 because I thought it didn't have an effects loop. I feel like an idiot. It was the little 5 watt Bugera I had that didn't have an fx loop. I'm so excited. Maybe I should look at the back of my amp more often.
Can someone explain to me what does the "space hole" reverb actually do? I mean I hear somekind of modulation in the background, like a flanger or something like that. I used to mix out a similar sound with reverb and flanger.... in the past ffs! :(
@@akosbrett2564 that’s the thing. It’s even tides proprietary algorithm. You literally couldn’t make the sound with the reverb pedal and a modulation pedal. But it’s sort of like a decay reverb with hints of different styles of modulation.
I’ve had this pedal for about 6 years…I changed the tubes out almost immediately and that alone made a difference. For the last couple of years, I’ve been using a Vox ac15 2-12 (which sounds pretty good) but, it doesn’t take some pedals well, especially the ehx big muff pi. The bugera doesn’t seem to have that problem. The Vox is a great amp though but, it can be rather temperamental.
There is no "entry level" Gibson ES-335/345/355. The least expensive model is the Gibson ES-335 Dot @ $3,499. The features and specs. of this Epiphone sort of satisfy the gap in this respect (I know it's an Epiphone, but it does have premium Gibson USA pick-ups, quality electronics, and an ebony fretboard + a really good HSC). I own both a Gibson 335 and a 345, and I bought this Epiphone model to travel with. It is a quality instrument in the truest sense. No regrets or shame in it being an Epiphone - it's playability and tone hold up very well to my Gibsons. IMO, it's, worth the price. A new Gibson ES-335 DOT for $3,499 is what I would be questioning (mine is 15 years old, when Gibson prices still had some semblance of sanity to them). To each his own though - I understand the stigma of the name.
Zoom still seems to outperform the competition and also have the lowest pricing. I'm an engineer and swore off buying commercial gear ever gain since I can design and build my own from the ground up, *but I can already tell I will buy one of these.* For a full featured and pocket sized processor, it's unbeatable.
The real mother of pearl on the headstock inlays are simply stunning. The changing of colors is very nice to look at. It almost looks like abalone. For me the upgrades on this guitar are big enough to justify its premium price.
Nice video. Just got my IGC 1959 ES-355 in Ebony today. My very first semi-hollow body. And it’s fantastic. It’s VOS. But, I prefer gloss. As expected, it’s got those sharp fret ends. Other than that, craftsmanship is flawless. For me, it looks, feels and plays great. It’s got that woody and airy tone. Cheers!
@@GuitarLessonSarasota No. They’re not that bad. Not a deal-breaker. Even the VOS finish, I can live with that. But I like the neck’s satin finish. I hope this will not be the first and the last of the IGC line. Thanks!
I lowered the Broad’Trons in my Gretsch down almost flush with the top of the mounting rings, and then raised the pole pieces back up to the same distance from the strings that they were before lowering the pickups. That dropped the muddiness and made them sound much more similar to the Blacktop sound.
Yes these pickups were really dissapointing to me. They sound neither like a Filtertron nor like a normal humbucker. Also the output is quite low if you compare it to a 490R I will try your mod!
This thing that bothers me is it looks almost identical to a Gibson 335 but is still epiphone. I’d rather just go with another company that people aren’t going to be thinking I have a Gibson 335 when it’s not.
@musicequalslife Whatever you say man… it still feels chinese… the 750$ previous Epi LP custom has also ebony freatboard. The real mother of pearl inlays you can find them for 35$… Epi ( Gibson ), buy in bulk so maybe at their cost is 10$. The custombuckers ok 400$ ( retail price, not for them… their cost might be 150$, but burstbuckers are 280$ at their cost probably 100$ so in the end for them is a +50$ difference ) the open book headstock is so funny thay you guys are so impressed with this… you just change the shape of of the production machine… the machine does not care if it has to give the neck the kalamazoo style or open book, what price increase does that make?… Long neck tenon? Hahaha all the 600$ epiphones have long neck tenon… man open your eyes… actually I regret writing all these words and wasting my time answering some idi**t like you… who has no knowledge or studies about production lines and profitability calculations… what a waste of time. Please waste your money on one of these if it makes you happy, chinese quality, all marketing, and still an Epi… 😉
Epiphone needs to make a few subtle changes/mods to this and they can release their version of the 1977 Gibson Alex Lifeson Signature 355. I’d buy it only then.
I admire your self-control. Because I lost it, called Sweetwater and pulled the trigger on the Les Paul Custom in Alpine White just 6 hours ago. But no buyers remorse here.
