We’re on the island from Lost… I found the electricity supply, but still don’t understand what that was all about. 5 series (or whatever it was) of my life that I’ll never get back. I’m glad I have a Les Paul & a Super Reverb - at least that makes sense
@user-ri3gh6yb5k The fact that just about everybody predicted the ending almost from the start & they spent years denying it only to pretty much go yeah guilty as charged lol.
I've heard Joe can quite easily smell a '59 burst within a 10,000 mile range. He doesn't go on reverb for gear finds, he just lifts his head and smells the air..
Best comment ever! So true. He would mount a rescue mission but instead of bringing them home, he would bring 6 more amps, 10 more guitars and stay to jam!
What I miss about these kind of videos is you guys being in the store figuring out stuff as you go along. Seeing what inspires you as you see pedals in the cabinet and then making changes. But I also understand that these videos are probably annoying to make for the team. You also probably have more stuff in stock (warehouse) than in the store. But you could add intermissions where you’re on the website at a computer in the store.
This is where I'm at. It feels like getting the old friends back together. Makes me feel warm and happy but also a reminder of how much time has passed.
Would love to see videos where they go into the store and pick these types of rigs, those have always been my favourite Chappers and the Captain videos
Yea, mates back together in a room having a jam. Now, if the pub would deliver... It's great to see that the lads that started it all, are back together as the men who are fulfilling their collective dreams. Thanks for sharing that banter with us again. Cheers.
@@BrowneAmplification aha, that explains all but then again I have a protein and know how good it is so if he took a lot of BBQ Sauce then he is very disingenuous!
I think a really big closed back cab, like an 8x10, as long as the closed back is reallly airtight. Then one of those Steinberger guitars that look like a canoe paddle.
I think most of us are striving to find our desert island rig right now. So I think Lee chose a rig that’s true to his history and experience. I think Robb is out in left field. I don’t think that would be his desert island rig at all. Lol, although I do like the utilitarian side of a all chrome or all gold guitar on a desert island! As I get older, I’ve assembled my dream rig because life‘s too short to not have your dream rig. I would take my 1963 vintage Stratocaster with my Mesa, California tweed, and a genuine Klon. 👍😎🌴
I actually had to take some "desert island" decisions many times in my life because at one point I was moving to different countries every 6 months or so and I'd buy stuff as I arrived and sell stuff as I left. My favorite Desert rig was the one I had went I lived in london: MIJ Fender Telecaster -> Orange OR 15 with 1x12 cab -> Earthquaker Dispatch Master Delay/Reverb in the loop. I could play anything with that rig: Jazz, blues, rock, sabbath-esque metal...
I really love the RD1 amp that Rob designed. I would add a 412 cabinet and a Helix or something similar for time effects. The guitar would be some kind of G&L ASAT or a hollow body jazz guitar with a P90 in the neck position or maybe an Epiphone Casino made in the USA.
For me it just doesn't get any better than listening to Lee & Rob play and talk. There have been many great participants in Anderton videos over the years. It has been entertaining and I have learned much. But Chappers & the Captain draw my attention and it is awesome. Thanks guys, you are an unbeatable team in my book.
My Bride allowed an extravagance years ago and I bought a first gen Bad Cat Cub 2 R Old Sampson era tone machine, 15 Watts 1z12 When you put it through the 12 and a side 4x10 cabinet at 4 ohms it sings like angels... 1980 Hard tail Strat and the Bad Cat No pedals necessary but if one was around the Blues Driver would be just fine
I'd say one of those carbon fiber ones to deal with humidity, but prolonged UV exposure will likely degrade the resin. Kind of an obscure guitar, but I recall that Gibson had the cs-336 and cs-356 for a while, which were the same shape as the es-339 semi hollow, but the body and sides were carved from a big single block of mahogany, rather than being made from thin wood veneer like an acoustic or traditional semi-hollow. Seems like it would be robust enough to survive the rest of your life on a desert island, but also have enough resonance the you could hear yourself play
robs’ playing has reallt grown on me over the years. he has refined his playing and his sound a lot, he has some impresive dynamic range, and ofcourse I’ve always loved him for his wit 🤣
What a coup for Browne Amplification! Lee, the Carbon (BB side of your Protein) was my first pedal, and I love it. You were possibly thinking that a two-in-one was best, if you could have just one pedal on the desert island. But in the “real world,” would you pick a Browne Atom (ODR-1 side) to pair with a Carbon, or is there some alternative you like even better? Nordland ODR-C, Vemuran Shanks ODS-1, Wampler Belle, Lightspeed, Timmy? Your expert opinion would be much appreciated!
Interesting picks. I’ve been sort of obsessed with the Tonemaster Twin Reverb ever since y’all did the blind amp comparisons a couple weeks back. Though I haven’t actually bought one (yet), I might pick that for my desert island rig. The power attenuator alone would allow me to get that cranked tube amp tone without upsetting the natives. 🤓🎸👍
How amazing did it sound as soon as Lee started playing! Soulful, great tone and well played.. I used to be an Ibanez Satch fan 30 years ago but I know which I prefer nowadays.
Watching Lee and Rob together is like going back to when I was a teenager. You are as familiar as old friends for me and for many guitarists, I bet. Despite living in a different country, sooner or later I'll buy something in person at the store. Cheers!
I’m bringing a 7 or 8 string prestige Ibanez cus I won’t ever get bored with that. Mesa Rectoverb And the Strymon Timeline looper. Endless levels of fun.
Both of those rigs sound fantastic, and very much capture the essence of their respective players. Rob's sounds like epic arena rock, and Lee sounds like the perfect tone for an intimate pub show. Now if Browne can only combine those pedals (Carbon x Gritador??) I'd be on board for that desert island pedal.
My current rig, truthfully! It really goes where I want it to for the most part. I say “most” because I’d like for main guitar to have a trem and a coil split, and I would like for the effects on my amp to be placed in front of the preamp as opposed behind it-I’m using a Grandmeister 40 DLX and it’s absolutely phenomenal. I missed being spoiled by my old Triamp MKII and this lil thing totally satisfies that
Lee, your rig reminds me of the late, great B.B. King. At one time, he favored Gibson guitars into Fender amps, although I think his rig was his ES-355-based Lucille into a Twin Reverb or something like that. I also find it interesting that you both were able to express yourselves in your respective rigs.
I smiled when I saw this thumbnail. Joyous. I totally understand you mostly need to focus your videos on gear you’re selling but it’s nice to see something like this that is just about the joy of playing a guitar you love. ☺️
If I were to choose, I would go for a PRS Private Stock 513 in charcoal purple burst and an Orange Rockerverb 100 2x12 Combo. Plus a Boss ME90 and get all the tones I want. Nice video as always. I love seeing Rob making videos with the captain again albeit temporarily cause obviously Rob lives in Malta now. But please do more videos together. We're no longer bound by the laws of Covid19.
Mine would be 89 fender strat plus deluxe with a line 6 spider jam. The most underrated practice amp known to man. Had a built in 60 sec looper. Like 100 backing tracks that could be changed to any key. Every style drum beat. Separate bass input, Separate mic input. It was the most versatile amp i have ever played
I never thought I'd see Ibanez do another guitar with toggles for every pickup. I have a Kramer with toggles for all 3 pickups + a bypass switch that just sends the bridge pickup straight to the volume. It's a fun setup.
Love these guys when they're together... just the best! How do you not click on this? Coconuts... indeed! I'm hoping the island has electricity... but I do understand this is a Fantasy Island sort of thing... haven't yet watched the whole thing... I can't wait! 😎🤩🎸❤️🤘
Guitar: Fender Stratocaster Amp: Marshall JCM800 or Vox AC30 Pedal: Boss OD-1X (One of my very first guitar pedals and my go-to in terms of gain as well as one of my favourite guitar pedals in general) or Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi
You guys are just stellar. All the other guys are great too, lovely people, but you two together just have that thing, that inexplicable thing, that lights up everything. It can't be explained; it can't be deserved - it's just there.
Telecaster - You can use it to chop down tree, smash open coconuts, or even slay the native wildlife. Twin or Plexi - You can use it to signal for help from the mainland.
Hmm... My desert island rig... Browne Protein, I've wanted this pedal since it came out. Terrible choice for the sand, but a Strandberg Salen Jazz, it's just beautiful. For the amp I want something portable so a Supro delta king 12 (full transparency, it's mostly winning for style points).
Dude, I'm playing an amp/pedal right now that is really reminiscent of Rob's. It's a BadCat Cub with a One Control Honey Bee overdrive. I haven't played anything I like better so far. (I also have a delay in the effects loop) The guitar I'm liking the most with that rig right now is a G&L ASAT Special. :)
Lovepedal Purple Plexi was mentioned. That is a seriously great pedal. As are all Lovepedal pedals. And their pedals are really affordable for what they are. That is all.
If price wasn't a concern, my desert island rig would be a Marshall Silver Jubilee 100W head and matching 2x12 cab, a Collings I-35, and a Dunlop Justin Chancellor JCT95 fuzz-wah. My affordable desert island rig consisting of gear I actually own would be an Orange CR60, an Epiphone ES-339, and a Dunlop Justin Chancellor JCT95 fuzz-wah. My realistic, electricity-free desert island rig would be one of those large, hollow-body jazz guitars with only a single, floating pickup in the neck position. I don't have any specific brands or models in mind since I only own solid and semi-hollow electrics. However, the occasional times I check out the acoustic guitars at guitar stores, I tend to prefer the feel and the look of those jazz guitars over full-blown acoustic guitars, and they are just as loud unplugged more or less.
I love the Satch sig Ibanez - I have one (the cheap one, obviously), but they get really uncomfortable if you play sitting down. Those curves mean it cuts into your leg after a few minutes.
That fender amp sounds lush. Fender make such awesome amps. I had a hot rod deville, but it was too loud for the house and I wasn’t giggling anymore. I’ll have to buy another fender amp. I’d probably take that Fender amp, a Duesenberg Starplayer TV and a helix.
I have my desert island rig which is a Fender Stratocaster (1973) loaded with Dimarzio HS3 in the bridge position & 2X HS4'S middle & neck positions.This guitar also has Stainless steel jumbo fretwire (21 of them) & my spec custom compound scalloping which means frets 1 too 5 aren't touched & frets 6 too 11 are only scallopped on the trebble strings & frets 12 too 21 are scallopped all the way (shallow scallops!!) & the tuners are gotoh locking hight compensation & a brass nut!!!!! My amp is a mk 2 Marshall superlead 50 watt head & a Marshall base (flat front 4X12" loaded with 75 watt Celestion's!!!) & my pedalboard is a Dunlop crybaby wah,Boss TU2,MXR Phase 90,Boss SD1,Ibanez CS9 & 2x Boss DD2'S. That is what I've used for well over 40 years!!!
4x12 mesa boogie cab evh 5150 120watt head and probably the Jeff Loomis Signature Schecter from when he was in Nevermore. Oh and some OD/Reverb/Delay pedals
One Hss strat plus a plexi style amp sounds enough for me. I would also take some old fuzz and wah pedals which can pickup radio signals. Maybe it's possible revert the circuit to transmit signals through them while the 9V battery survives.
I'd go with my 2007 Variax 700, a Hiwatt T40/20 Combo (2x12), and a JHS Good Vibrations pedal because I can get a Univibe to sound like any modulation worth using.
Amp: Orange Pedal Baby 100 and a 2x12 Pedal: Boss GT-1000 Core Guitar: Some custombuild Super Strat that can take anything, so no wood, Carbonfibre, Aluminum etc. instead and with a DP 100 as close to the bridge as possible.
Being a rather long in the tooth classic rock type of person I would choose Lee's rig all day long.A beautiful vintage tone.You can hear the nuances of different pick ups and the Les Paul tone controls.If you are a high gain type of shredder then Rob's choice of gear is the way to go although I don't think the choice of gear is so crucial.
If I may allowed to indulge...😉 Desert Island Rig..? I find myself leaning on going on a limb for some bits of it, as I have only properly tried so much gear... But lets give it a try, hehe😁; guitar: Les Paul Standard 50's with P-90's, or, an original vintage 50's specimen... Amp: either that "baby" 5f6 with reverb and tremolo that Victoria Amps use to make; never tried it, but you know... seems to be exactly what I think would be my perfect amp. Otherwise, possibly a Friedman Twin Sister, or a Suhr '67...with a nice set of alnico Celestions (?!). Pedal-wise; Fulltone '69 mk2, JHS Morning Glory, Fulltone OCD, Déjà Vibe, Clyde Deluxe, and a Catalinbred Deluxe Belle Epoque. That should keep me entertained for a while..!😉
Fender princton and a prs silver sky and i can play, what i love and inspires me. So i would say that. But if i could have pedals i would say a cali76 compressor and looper pedal with mulitfx in it, like the vox looper.
The highest end Positive Grid amp, a PRS custom with split coil and a floating bridge, and an expression pedal. (We're assuming a massive supply of strings here) Endless tones to keep me busy for a lifetime.
