Hi, I am a full time touring & session musician and I will upload all guitar related content on this channel, like song performances or checking out gear. If you love guitars just as much as I do, you should consider subscribing :)
🎉 Thank you so much for this cool presentation, Dee! 😄 I'm thrilled that you find it to be a useful addition to your studio equipment. 🎧 As discussed, the FX-Loop extension for the N-audio Switcher will be ready by the end of this summer. 🌞 Cheers, Niki 🍻
Damn dude... I guess if you are drowning in enough family wealth to buy 8 amazing high-end amps you may as well get the king of amp switches. (That Friedman sounds amazing) One question tho... why does your Vox sound like ass? Is there something wrong with it or was that because you were trying to use an IR cab with a bright channel?
Hey! Thanks for your comment, I do like the Friedman a lot! And I totally agree, the 8x7 is absolutely the king of amp switchers. I usually record the VOX amp with microphones and use the Captor only for attenuating the volume in order to crank it and get all those sweet break-up sounds. However, for this video I recorded the Vox thru the Captor X and didn´t check the IR (my bad), it´s just whatever IR the Captor X loaded. Same with the Amp Central, it´s a random IR....in the room the Vox sounds pretty badass, still one of my fave amps, I play it all the time :)
Knowing music theory is Great, but some players that know alot of theory think to much when they play. Music to me anyway is more about sound and feeling. You need technical ability also to be able to play what you hear in your mind for example so that is also extremely important. I look at music theory as being book smart. While actual playing time and experience as being street smart in the world. So if you have both you are even more well versed, but I don't think music theory is really needed for everyone. Look at George Lynch for example. He openly admits to not knowing alot of music theory, but when you listen to his playing he clearly knows EXACTLY what works and how to compose a song and his guitar works is as good as any guitarist from the 80's and 90's then comapre George to Randy Rhoads and Randy knew all kinds of music theory. Point being both guys are incredible players one knew theory inside and out and one didn't but both are incredible guitarist.
@@DeeDammersOfficial Thanks for the reply man. Been following you for awhile. You're one of the most well versed guitarist I've heard in along time. You can play it all. Clearly you Know your music theory my friend. Cool video I like the gear videos you've been doing lately too.
GREAT Cover brother you and your boys Killed It. Matter of fact all the covers I've seen you do are Awesome. I listen to your Blackout cover more then the original.
I have a 60w Fender Supersonic that I love the way it sounds, but it is basically impossible to put it at home, do you think this attenuator would do its job so I can use it in my apartment without my neighbors wanting to shoot me???... the idea It would be like everyone else's if my amp continues to maintainthat beautiful sound it has without losing quality due to the attenuator, thank you very much!!!!
As a guy with three different degrees in music, my take is that knowing music theory is very helpful, particularly if you want to understand the construction of a song. But I would submit that it's definitely not a requirement, either for enjoying music or for creating it. In fact, sometimes I subscribe to the "analysis = paralysis" point of view. There are times where thinking too much about the music is counter-productive. Just play it.
I totally agree! I have the Silencer on -16 literally all of the time and use the stepless FINE control. I literally barely need less than -16dB however if I do, those steps between FULL and -14 really feel natural, as the difference in volume is really subtle, literally feels seemless.
This is the response from TAD: „it depends on the damping settings and the boost switches. If the latter are activated, the reactive part increases at higher attenuations. When used as a pure load box, there is no reactive component at the line out or F.A.N.T.A. out.“
One of my most fond memories was winning this contest in new orleans to go sing on stage with the atomic punks and Russ and the guys were like ... unbelievably supportive and amazing to talk to. Big ole nerds for music at the end of the day and getting to belt out panama with them as my "side men" was just something im going to die loving. They were all super cool about everything and did a nice photo session with me after the show (this was their own idea! I won a silent auction to go sing panama, that was it lol). Russ even waited out side of his bus for me to go get one of my guitars for him to sign, it was like 1am lol. I was in my very early 20s at the time, I didnt even for a moment consider their time; I was just enamored with the situation. These guys just handled me with outrageous grace and humble behavior I didnt deserve lol. Obviously I was glad to be there lol
Good cover, but you skipped an entire part of it... Oh, I can see myself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone Oh, and my skin is raw but my soul is ripe And no one's gonna stop me now, I'm gonna make my escape But I can't stop thinking of you And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart still beating Breaking out of my body and flying away Like a bat out of hell
This song totally captures the VH sound & attitude! It always amazed that it didn't receive more attention. I love it because it was before the 1984 album which brought in tons of new fans, pre-84 VH as like a secret club!
Listen to these talented guys and you realize just how staggeringly special DLR was as a vocalist and how the magic could only happen with DLR , ALEX , Mike and Eddy . This doesn't even remotely sound right even though every note is played and sung very proficiently . Genius is on another level way way beyond . Not even Hagar with his chops could remotely be Van Halen.
