Some clean sounds going through a Fender-style amp model on the Yamaha THR10ii. Gear - Ibanez AZES40-BK - Boss GT1 - Yamaha THR10ii recorded through Logic Pro
Hi again Hans, I love your playing and your contribution to music... and you are so helpful! I am having a lot of fun using your John Mayer "Slow Dancing in A Burning Room" settings. I had to transpose and tweak it a little bit, because I use a different "Effects Unit" and a "Vox Amp." That being said; it sounds great with your core settings. Nailed it! I wanted to ask? What make Strings are you using? And what String Gauge do you use? I am using the Ibanez "factory Strings," which were good. I believe they are .010 to .046's However, they now need changing? Hope you can help me out? And thank you for your help. Much appreciated. Cheers. Phil
Thank you for the kind words! For this video, I used the factory strings which were .010-.046. They felt like 9s because of the Ibanez AZES40's shorter 25" scale length. On 25.5" scale length guitars like Strats, I use 9s. These days, I use 10s on my Strandberg since it's a multi-scale guitar. As for the brand, I find that Elixir Nanowebs 10-46 last the longest for me.
Thanks, man! Sorry I can’t remember the exact product code. I looked up the nuts on the Graphtech site and PT-5000-00 might be your best bet. What I do remember is the nut my local guitar tech installed was slightly longer than the required dimension. You can always sand it down if it’s too long. Hope that helps though and thanks for checking out the video.
Hi Hans are these the Stock Ceramic pickups? Or have they been modded please? I have an AZES40 in Mint Green great Jimi Hendrix Wind Cries Mary tones and nice playing cheers!
Hi I’m a beginner needing some help with amp settings. Do you play with headphones on your Yamaha THR? I have the same guitar and Yamaha THR10II but when I play with headphones on it sounds different. Also what model of bridge did you change it to? Did you also change the tuners?
Hi. I just play through the amp. Sound will depend on the quality your headphones, so I suggest investing in some studio headphones. I changed the bridge to a Wilkinson WVP6-SB 5+1. I kept the tuners stock, but if I had this guitar again, I would change them to staggered locking tuners . Hope that helps!
Here are the amp and FX settings I used when I adjusted my tone for this guitar. Yamaha THR10ii Voice: Classic Amp: Clean Cab: Vintage 4x12 Gain: 50 Master: 92 Bass: 1 Mid: 55 Treble: 80 Boss GT-1 Guitar Effects Processor Compressor Type: D-Comp Sustain: 50 Level: 50 Attack: 50 Tone: +20 Reverb Type: Hall 2 Time: 4.0s E. level: 70 Low cut: 160Hz High cut: 4.00kHz
@@froilanbas759 Thanks! I prefer the AZES40 because of its versatility. It can go from jazz all the way to hard rock and fusion, and everything in between. The neck shape feels more comfortable, faster to play on due to lack of a finish at the back, and the 25” scale makes it easier to bend. It also costs less than a Classic Vibe.
