enrc vcnt dude I’m just talking about the tone used in the video, i know it’s probably digital, but I’m not choosing between tones he didn’t use, I’m choosing between the tones he did use, and in the instance, the Mexi Strat takes it for me
Suggestion: play all the guitars through the cheap amp and then play all the the guitars through the expensive amp. That would be a better comparison so you're just changing one variable instead of two. Get a better idea of how each guitar changes with the amps.
It's already been proven that a good guitarist with shitty gear will pretty much always sound better than a bad one with good gear. :P There are dozens of tests on youtube, even done by rob chapman himself, so.... all you need to do is look. >w>
@@airconditioningunit9777 it all depends on the sound you're after and how you mic and mix. But yes, it can be very surprising sometimes how cheaper amps can sound far, far better than the more expensive ones
@@Plockman29 it depends on what you want to play. If u dont even care about chugging and the more extreme techniques then ur going to be fine with a squier plus u can mod it so it has atleast a hss setup.
I thought maybe it was just the amp but after seeing other RU-vidrs play them, the Chapman sounds so subpar for their price. My $200 Ibanez sounds better on my peavy 15w
Yeah idk why people say they like the fender the most, the fender sounds scooped, idk if he had different amp settings but the sound just sounded weak and not meaty enough in comparison with the others.
I did quad track. Now I just double track. I think quad tracking isn't worth the time. I would use that time to perfect my mix. And I think it doesn't matter in this video if he gives all the setups the same treatment.
BloBzy RU-vid I was wondering the same haha. either it his fault or the brand isn't that good. Note: I have personally not played a chapman before so I can't say more.
This video actually helped a lot, I've never played guitar before and I've currently been searching for a first good affordable guitar to buy so I can learn. The squire actually sounds pretty nice
It's 100% worth it to get something cheap first. If your passion burns out, you didn't waste too much money, but if you get good and really get into it, a new and more expensive guitar will feel VERY comfortable and worth it 👌
Owned a couple of Squiers in the past. Had one fitted with a Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge and ran it through an MXR distortion +, Vox Brian May amp, and a Peavy PA head. to get a decent imitation of the Bob Mould Husker sound. If you have a bit of imagination and like to mess around some you can get nice sounds out of budget setups.
JP JPJP True true! I have a Squire Tele with the mirror pickguard that is great. Its pretty stock (but doesn't look it) and my tech set it up and made some modifications to the electronics. That said it will hold its own against a MIM or American Tele. I have gigged it and it sounds just fine with a few different amps.
For a great example, James Hetfield's Flying V for the first two Metallica albums was a knockoff by a company called Electra. IIRC one of the guitarists for legends Mercyful Fate was playing a Cort around the time of their second album. That was one of the the absolute budget brands of the time.
ClamFishing I actually like the feel of Squier Bullets. They just need a couple upgrades. i'm wanting to try the new Bullet Mustang when it comes out. I would also add Epiphone makes a better neck than Gibson
If you'd know the pedigree of the Electra guitars... You'd be fucking amazed. I hunt old Aria, Greco, Electra, Ibanez Roadstar series, Fernandes like there's no tomorrow. Japanese quality at its best. Marty Friedman has an Electra LP that kicks ass. The humbuchers in that flying v made that thick Metallica sound. not emg, not esp/ltd.
Is this an Avenged Sevenfold song? Please can you help me with the name. Would love to hear the rest but cannot find it. Avenged songs are pretty long. Not sure if they play this riff from the start. Thanks.
@G3garton Yeah. People who make fun of it are the same people that run it through a shitty squire amp. But even then, you fine tune the settings and stuff, you'll get a pretty good tone.
I Rather get the 1000$ budget because the cheap one sounds a bit low and less distorted and the 1000$ seems decent and enough if you wanna play like Jared
Pretty sure he fucked up the EQ on that amp. The guitar has humbuckers and good ones at that, and the amps sound incredible, so I blame Jared for having it totally wrong.
Yeah for that kind of riff the Squier/SS Ibanez amp combination are decent. If he were to go to a clean sound, it would be different. The Squier can pull off a clean sound, the amp can't. I actually prefer the SS distortion sounds at times, especially if it's in the context of ambient background power chords, think of the guitar part to Phill Collins' "In the Air Tonight." Now for pretty much everything else that's not LoFi, I want full on Tube Saturation.
I've got a Mesa full stack, a Roland jc120, and an esp snakebtye. Just kidding. I've got an eiphone goth explorer, and a line6 spider IV (Which is straight ass) I'm saving up for a blackstar ht club 40
Timmy Time he probably changed around the soundtracks, the first one sounds like the expensive tone, second is the actual tone of the fender rig, third sounds like the 170 and the last sound like the victory Chapman rig
Not sure if anyone has said the yet, but what would the different guitars sound like on the different amps? And, I agree, the Chapmans are way overhyped... it almost sounded.. hollow.
Mostly went as expected, cheap sound is workable but not great and then it moves up as you get more expensive, except for one exception. I really did not like the sound of the Ghost Fret and the Kraken. I don't know if it's something to do with the tone that a Kraken can produce or whether Jared did something different with the settings but it sounded hollow and just bad. That's the sound I'd expect out of my semi-broken Fender Mustang digital amp, not a $1500 valve amp.
Chris Preece The Krakens are amazing. I was at a Dorje Concert a few weeks ago and Bea's sound was great. But yes, the sound in this video wasn't the best.
close micing helps us all ignore very real differences in actual sound. You'd notice more difference in comparison done on a room mic with nearly identical moderately loud volume similar to live or recording setups. That said different setups will pass in different circumstances. I can't expect the cheapest to hold up next to any kind of drumming or band situation because the speaker is like 5 inches and the amp is like 9.024369 watts lol. But I can overpower any drummer with the last one, possssibly the last two. Those things matter. Long story short context is king and it is possible a teeny weeny setup can sound comparable to a much more powerful and pricey one if the recording setup is done well.
@@morganthem yes true. This small amp would'nt be sufficient to overpower acoustic drums. However, nowdays with concerts etc. They will mic up the drums and amp so "overpowering" the drums really doesn't matter here. I think it's the mic setup and EQ'ing that makes the differents.
I mean...I liked the squier A LOT, sounded nice and open and early-metal...Didn't really like the Chapman one at all; Mexi strat one sounded a little thin for my tastes...and the last one...no, not for that price
I thought the squier was fine until I heard the others and I don't listen to a lot (or any at all besides a bit of black sabbath) of metal, I liked the mexi but I totally agree on the Chapman. Also, I thought the last one was nothing special, especially for the price.
To get the right tone from a mexi strat (I know I own one as my primary guitar) you need to use 10-gauge strings to really make the guitar pop and stand out. Otherwise, swapping out for a few dimarzios is never a bad plan. :P
I honestly really liked the raw tone of the Squire/Ibanez combo more than the others, for this riff at least. It just sounded punchy and not cleaned up, which is sometimes better for certain types of metal. I’m sure it sounds different when you’re not hearing it from a mic, but when in this video it sounded great imo.
That's because he fucked up the eqing or the micing, this amp with this guit should sound stellar, just check out Rabea Massad's channel, he makes it sounds better than roaring thunder!
Beauty Through Art of Music to me it seemed he miced down from the center on the right/top right speaker. the eqs all sounded flat. so that would make a comparisson with the closest factors he could do. i myself liked the squire and ibanez equally to the most expensive set. the 3rd i liked the natural bass but not the mid range sounded to tinny. the 2nd set didnt pop to my ear at all.
If Jared couldn't get a better sound out of that guitar/amp rig, then the problem is his. Both the guitar and the amp are a lot more capable than that.
ReN yes but they used what they (it probably wasn’t $200) but when I first started playing I had a cheap copy strat and a Marshall Lead 12 combo (solid state) and just threw a BOSS DS-1 and it was all about $250
in my hey-day of playing guitar back in 2014-2017 (Sadly I rarely play due to location noise complaints and lack of free time and motivation) My main rig was an LTD EC1000 (£850) and Peavey Vypyr 100W (£200). The sound was honestly fantastic, with the built in effects and the pedal accessory you could do a lot with it, I was able to easily gig in local bars and clubs with my aspiring band back in college. If there's one thing I learned over the years, price doesn't make you sound better only different. It's practice and hard work to get the sounds you want, a cheap beginner amp will do just fine at home, and an intermediate one will easily cover small local venues or practice rooms with a group. You never need to break the bank when you want to upgrade your sound through equipment try everything, Try guitars for tone and comfortability, style always comes last. Amps are trial and error, don't judge by brand you might be in a death metal band and find out that some old marshal amp from 2002 has the perfect mix of highs and lows for you.
To my mind : 1 - Revv - 5700 2 - Fender - 1000 3 - Victory - 2250 4 - Ibanez - 170 But, to be honest, i'd rather like to put money in the 170 pac than in the 2250 one.
Yeah man the 2250 is trying to be like the 5700 but it's not clean enough so it's in between sounding kind of dirty but cool, and really crisp and clean. Which kind of just sucks because it's neither this nor that. I would much rather get 1000 than 2250.
One thing Ive learned in playing guitar for more than 14 years now is its always better to have good equipments which actually makes your sound better where as if your are used to the guitar and know your way around the invesment is much need on the amp + pedal not the guitar really but yes guitar plays a major role too mainly good equipments = better sound
Man I’ve had my MIM Strat for almost a year I absolutely love it, thought is sounded the best here, and I am HSS model, so I can flip it to fourth position and get heavier tone while keeping the sparky Strat vibes
