This is not a new concept there's been built in fuzz or distortion units built in to guitars since the sixty's and in the late seventies there was a guitar you could put effects cartridges into and I have a danelectro guitar with distortion, chorus,tremolo and slap echo built into it
Great demo of James' and my fuzzy collaboration... NICE ONE JACKSON! I would highly recommend that anyone with Jazzmaster go and check out Home of Tone for this FUZZMASTER kit along with James' beautiful more conventional Jazzmaster wiring looms. And for those who are Jazzmasterless but want this awesome fuzz tone, you are in luck, because I've just released the pedal version! Head the NRG EFFECTS shop and take a peep at the new FUZZER, which is now available t order with a range of options and customisations. Neil - NRG EFFECTS
It’s just an old workshop test-mule guitar. I just put my son’s name on the headstock is all :) poor thing has had so many parts swaps for workshop testing over the years but it fights on lol!
i have a first act garage master (bear with me) i has built in fuzz that has gain control and a proper preamp built in, active pickups, its extremely reliable, and takes almost no battery, also its semi active so you can not use it if you dont want to. very good guitar
This is sick, maybe one day we will invent a fuzz circuit built into the guitar that sounds this good and doesn’t require a 9v or perhaps is long lasting like some active pickups ala emg. The idea of changing out a 9v after every 4 to 5 hours of approximate use is a slight bummer
I wonder how many Outward and Onwards have been sold solely off that David Ryan Harris rig rundown. I know that’s how I started wanting one. Hope Chase Bliss sent him a free Onward.
Nice review. I have this amp, albeit with a 6L6 power section which I requested on order. Although 22 watts should be plenty loud enough with an efficient speaker, I just wanted the bigger Fender Vibrolux/Vibroverb vibe and increased headroom. I’ve gigged it quite a bit now and it sounds great, just a beautiful clean pedal platform. The trem throbs and the reverb is just right. Build is impeccable. Nice and light as well.
Great summary. I own this pedal but still gave this video a watch to remind me why I like it so much LOL. The pedal has USB, so the hold function could definitely be added in a firmware update! If enough people request it, maybe Boss will add it? I play in stereo, so for me I really wish it could do the 1/4 + dotted 8th stereo thing (AKA The Edge). This is a very common sound that most stereo delay pedals can do. The DM-101 can do a variety of similar tricks in the pan mode but NOT that. I'm at a loss as to why Boss left it out, because surely the hardware is capable of it.
I recently bought the standard and I had tried the custom core, and I found that I like the standard better. It sounded a little more rich and classic whereas the custom core was a little bright for me, but it was still a fantastic instrument and either way anybody would go, they would win.
Agreed. I could afford the price tag, but I’m just an amateur guitar duffer. I wouldn’t enjoy the Silver Sky more than the MIM Strat, MIM Tele, Epi Les Paul Custom and the Gretsch 5230T I could buy together for the same money.
Came here to say this. Although the Lead channel on TK is supposed to be more like a Tweed than a Brown. But yeah, overall feature set and layout is more than a bit similar. And no attenuator.
different overall sound, that's why a legit attenuator is needed. otherwise most players use od pedal which defeats the purpose of buying such a sweet amp
@@psychonaut689 imo the ironman on my toneking imperial does not change the tone. some folks think it does change the tone but i think folks confuse tone with lack of spl that a lack of volume can't replicate
Looks good but the whole time wondering why there isn’t a $90 sm57 available to mic it .. or just record it with the sm7b that you’re talking through while playing with headphones??? Too bad there are no actual sound samples to show off this very expensive fender killer. Got me though and went to the site!
£2200 buys you two very nice Fender amps or a Fender and a Marshall solid state or tubes. Nice looking and sounding amp but who's buying this at this price?
Both the Fender and Marshall will be built to a price point, cheap caps, so so PCB. I had a Princeton Reverb reissue, lovely sounding amp but eventually blew up and needed major surgery including PCB. This amp is a world apart, far more serviceable for reliability and longevity.
It makes sense to use a low-powered amp for six-string guitar. You don't need loud for the studio; for stage work, the FOH does the heavy lifting so a guitar amp really only needs to function as a personal instrument monitor and to send a feed to the board. Time was a guitar amp had to be its own mains, hence Leo Fender's insistence on "tremendous distortionless power". Haven't needed that much headroom in decades for six-string. Pedal steel and bass do need more headroom but that's a different situation.
Agreed. However, why would a pedal steel need more power? I understand bass needs more. Honest question as I genuinely do not know anything about pedal steels. Thanks
@@ptomo66Thanks for inquiring! Most steel players want zero distortion or overdrive, plus there are innumerable "sliding" notes, both from moving the bar and working the pedals and knee levers. In addition all doubleneck and 12 string steels have considerably greater range than a six string. Keeping all of that clean takes up a lot of headroom. I've seen steel players use Deluxe-Reverbs but all were in very low-volume situations. My favorite steel-amp rigs are a Twin-Reverb head-cab with a 2-12 (D120Fs) Bassman bottom or a Milkman PS-300. But if I were going to do a new-country lead guitar situation I'd want to get hands on the Emprize in the vid!
I just got the same guitar, and I'm not a les payl guy, but the price was right. I love this one. Great vid. I also would say the tone is like a big tele
