I just spat perfectly good coffee out over this... 😂

@@5hane_ Shame. I like good coffee. 😳☕

@@Generatingmoments me too, but that line turned me over 😂

Hahah Thought I was the only one who uses that joke! 👍🏻

Ha! Jokes! 😁

I saw her at a GC clinic in NYC. Great player and a very nice person.

A shred god who is stunning and a great person. Epic combo

The full combo with very nice personality and cute as a button.

I've used both. People are usually too busy drinkin' & dancin' & looking for a hook-up. Never been booed for digital BUT is tiring to listen to. AND the BIG ONE. It sounds like shit if you're LIVE & recording thru a board. Real crap.

@@buddylobos5277 oh I'm a tube amp guy through and through but he's right. you think anybody cared Albert King played through a shitty solid state amp? Hell no

True, as long as it's not something like a Line 6 Spider II 15.

So true, sir. No regular person would even care. Only the dweebs on the Internet music instrument forums would be upset. And as Slash said; who cares about them 🙃

After 40 years of tubes amps, I prefer my Quilter now. I get great sound from that thing. I used to record at a friend's house with a Lab Series and loved that amp too! I'll never go back to tube amps, pains in the ass to get fixed. Best 2 days of owning my Fender Twin was the day I bought it and day I sold it, heavy as a bastard.

Exactly use whatever gets you the tone you are looking for. Doesn't matter if it says line 6 boss or whatever.

@@Music_is_fun I have peavey ultra plus 120 watt head with a 2×12 and a 4×12 peavey cabinet. Know what I play through 85% of the time? A line 6 spider V 60 watt practice amp I got cheap or nothing at all. Being I'm currently not in a band right now. That's what I did dialed in a sound I liked. If I wanted a jcm 800 sound I would go to reverb and find a jcm 800. If someone criticizes or complains I just ask "when did I ask for your opinion?". I mean we are jamming in your garage I'm going to haul a stack across town to please you,...... not. Funny thing they usually complain I'm playing to loud with my 60 watt 1×12 line shit amp. Truth is I know how to dial in a tone that cuts through the mix but you know.

Exactly. When i had a line 6 pedalboard i always went to almost the same amps i thought sounded good and just tweaked them to sound more metal or classic rock instead of going like "oh i need to dial a jcm800 model with this cab to play this iron maiden song..."

I like to just use the effects and my own amp then the modded amp rigs. They are getting closer to amp sounds but not quite there in my opinion.

Indeed, it’s the player as much as anything. I promise she could get a better tone out of a peavey bandit than I could put of a (fill in the blank) stack!

WhatWouldHouseDo - I have many tube amps (which I love) but my Katana Artist is every bit as good, with less stress. It sounds and feels like a tube amp, without any hassles.

Absolutely agree 10000%

But do YOU care?

@@ruiseartalcorn no it’s not

@@Danielfucks69 I can only report how it feels to me.

I've seen her 3 times and yeah....uhh........yep I have a serious crush on this woman.

bfd

@@dustinmitchell3510 ... if ya don't care then don't say anything that simple..

6:13 *Tom Morello jumps through through the opening in the wall made by Kirk*

OH YEAH!!

@@voodoogcarlos4393 🤣😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This comment made my day.

Down to earth literally

I was lucky to see AC once this year.

Saw her once with Alice Cooper. Ridiculous stage presence. Fun to watch and a great player.

beast with a 6-string, heh

And she's hot as hell to boot to add to the beast status.

you seen the new ones out now?

Reminded me of George Lynch during the Dokken days.

Sounds pretty bad. 😅 Pure honky midrange

And on the top of that, she´s fuckn HOT! :D

Kudos for giving up your gear to support your employees. 🙂

Its her signature ibanez model

Ibanez Jiva

I used to play in a band just plugging my bass to my wireless and then to my amp. We played a gig sharing stage with two other bands. One of the other bass players had a huge pedal board and minutes before the show he had an issue and he spent 10 minutes on stage trying to figure out what was happening. I like to use pedals but on stage I try to make it simple.

Sold my 1986 Mesa/Boogie MkIII that I had built for me... I now use a Boss GT-10 and that is all. No amp

It's the way of the future!!!!

Mala chamber - ok , some of it is about image . Most of it is about tone and response, though. That 20 years of amp-lessness has made you forget how good it feels to crank up an amp . Go plug into a great amp and cab and it will all come back to you.

Ya I'm considering a gt 100 vs an amp

I haven't used an amp for recording since 1994. All direct, and it sounds fine to my ears. Like some of the other comments say, most of the audience couldn't care what yo're using. Bands like Periphery and Dragged Under are using Fractals or Helix and they sound great live.

@@zdave6083 No , if you tinker around you can get that tube sound. Its not the 60's anymore. We live in the 21st century and some of the modern processors can get it.

Once Geddy Lee went direct, he replaced his wall of amps with clothes dryers and rotisserie chickens! I hope rotisserie chicken takes the place of tube amps as the next 'proper'!

I think modeling amps will become so good in the near future that classic solid-state won't be used anymore and the valve based amps will be seriously endangered.

I have a Boss ME80 and love it.

I'm running a GP-10 paired with my decrepit but still excellent old GT-8. I think every sound I want is in one of those two boxes, if I could just have the time to figure 'em out :D

Me too 38 states ...70 countries...almost all direct

From what he is publicly, Kirk Hammett is a pretty cool guy. Think he did a video recently with Gibson.

I've heard second hand she's cool af in person, it shows

@@AarPlays Kirk who?

That just her stagecraft kicking in . Engage the audience. Make them feel you're in a dialogue with them .It doesn't mean she actually cares . She's a pro.

@@zdave6083 shhhhh let him dream

@@zdave6083 she's the same on eg Twitter. She always replies to people, answers their questions, completely approachable. The only times I've seen her anything but nice is when people are being elitist jerks, that she doesn't like. Very down to earth and humble. I don't think that's "stagecraft", I think that's who she is

@@saschaschneider6355 I don't doubt that. I just meant her looking into the camera and talking directly to it. That's stagecraft. I do think that the whole humble and approachable thing is a new trend for the internet age. Its necessary to build a loyal fanbase these days. Frankly, I prefer my rockstars arrogant and entitled. I'm oldschool.

She sounds like a news reporter. So well spoken!

Yeah shes actually got an energetic personality. Pretty cool.

and why is the host fixating on the equipment looking down pretty much the whole video? he's always staring down ? and what's up with him wearing his baby sister's t- shirt and skinnnnnnnneeee jeans

@@johnlarge6104 Because he's taller? You're looking for things that aren't there

Yeah the host looks ridiculous, he's so damn cringey. The younger bald host is way better on rig rundowns. This guy makes my teeth hurt lol 😬

you should learn the jazz chords sir ||| Use them

@@mauricewitherspoon8457 its not about me not knowing the jazz chords.i do know..but its about focus on the purpose of the video..which here was to show the gt1k with her and not showoff technical prowess that many guys do. Jazz on mate! cheers

Yeah , its about the effects. However there are so many levels of eq that along with the reverb, distortion and delay , you can almost dial in any amp sound. Boss processors seem to be heavily under rated , but they are powerful units if you take the time to learn how to program them. Plenty of parameters to adjust and plenty of effects. I have a stereo rig and it rocks.

Man, that would have been epic! She is a monster player and seems a gem of a human!

@@dustinmccrindle343 - Yes, I'm sure of it! And yes, I too get a really good vibe from her 🙂

That’s not a clean tone. It’s an effected tone. It’s got some processing going on in there for sure.

too bright

Where is this “clean tone”? The cleanest tone is around the 2:50 mark, and it’s not “clean” in the usual sense of being a direct pickup tone, it’s certainly being processed to some degree, so is an effected tone.

@@terrypussypower ok? It's a clean tone with some stereo chorus and reverb baked in. Do you really expect her to play with a completely clean tone given the context of the band she played with at this point in time?

@@blu3fityz That’s still not a clean sound. It’s an effected sound. The OP claimed it was a “clean sound” and I pointed out its NOT a clean sound.

@@terrypussypower he meant clean. clean, as in no distortion, overdrive, nothing.

They also take a sim card with the presets on, they can get a spare locally and get presets from the sim card

The downside is that if you can't get a unit locally your whole board, amp, cab is gone and you can't borrow eg just a spare tubescreamer from another guitarist as a temporary replacement until you've got a new unit. And you can't drop in a multi fx unit from a different vendor if you don't happen to have your setup in a format that's compatible with that device, too. Not saying that I'm against using this stuff, on the contrary, I'm more inclined to get the Axe FX, Boss GT1000 or similar stuff than I'm inclined to amass a huge gear collection, but it does have its drawbacks

I had a rack system, the floor unit is so much less to drag around.
