I have an Epiphone Dot I got to experiment with the hollow body world., now sits next to my 8 string and the Les Paul, it very quickly became an indispensable link in my mix of tools for the variety sound/styles . Particularly good for long bendy type of solo styles with that natural resonant sustain, ringy feedbacky goodness . Even though it's a relatively inexpensive instrument , it Really does certain unique things with more oomph and class than my other instruments. Really can scream, and feels nicely different and quite nice to hold with that awesome big hollow body!
Love it and great to see that the ES-335 can do metal and harder rock. The Mesa Boogie and Diezel amps are great for metal and rock as well as Friedman, Marshall and Bogner.
I wish my Mesa Rectifiers would have sounded like that over the years. Incredible! That is the sound of a Rectifier I always dreamed of...But never could accomplish this goal, tweaked settings for years with no result like this..Then I sold it!
That's an absolutely beautiful Gibson 335 bro! I'm in the market for a triple rectifier at the moment, which is how I found your video. Only I'm playing a Pelham Blue Gibson Reverse Firebird T. Great tone tho! Keep rocking...
That sounds massive! Almost a Neil Young sound at first but not messy and all over the sound spectrum per say. Good Job! Best yet sounding metal take on a ES-335 yeah!!!!!
René Bauch strangely, the non-stereotypical “Metal” guitars just work for high gain. I dig the 335’s, Teles and variations on the like - thanks for watching.
@iR4If - was it a Dual or Triple Recto? The Triple has a bigger footprint and isn't as fizzy as the Dual Recto. I also have a couple RubyHG 12ax7's that replaced the stock Mesa/JJ preamp tubes. Also boosting the front end with a Mesa Flux Drive.
That sounds huge! I'm guessing you'd need a noise gate with it at higher volumes... like most any metal setup to combat the feedback. Unique and awesome. I'm guessing stock pickups?
DR440 thank you, yes the guitar was totally stock. At higher volumes it would be beneficial to have a noise gate, or step to the side out of the way of the speaker to avoid feedback. This unorthodox combination made for a crushing rhythm tone.
I've often wondered what this sort of thing would sound like... I'm pleasantly surprised! I'd be interested to hear a Lucille do the same thing, as those have a rather brighter, tighter sound...
Funny you mention that, I actually played a BB King signature into a Bogner Uberschall Twin Jet and it was one of the meanest sounding combinations I've heard.
