How to get your sound at low volume - Guitar Junkie Ep.42  

"The fingers are the singers". THAT is the Internet Quote of the Day! 👏

super gefühlvolles Spiel, typisch Markus!

I believe Marcus is one of the top guitarists around, incredible tone and feeling

incredible playing as always! so emotional...love the expressivity behind every bend and note...truly magnificent!

Phenomenal the Deml touch. Nobody else is able to play like this ❤

Every time I saw a video from Marcus it inspires me to play more guitar! I love the micro movement of your fingers!!!!!!!! Thank you, Marcus!

You once mentioned that playing at low volume with a distortion was like hearing flies buzzing around, if I recall. Somehow, you have transcended the annoyance with a pair of superb pedals. Since my custom Anderson amps have reverb tanks, all I have been using these days are your Angry Gorilla or your Sweet Elephant, followed by a Strymon Brig delay. Nothing but pure goodness! Many thanks from abroad, Marcus! ♫♪

You are such an iconic and soulful player! always a pleasure watching and hearing you Marcus!!!

Gary Moore attack and vibrato with some David Gilmour touch in te mix... just freakin' amazing!!!

Marcus, you're incredible !! Amazing.

Great tone dear Marcus 😮 Things looks so simple in your hands , but as you said fingers are the singers !🤘🎸🔥

I apologize for my limited World knowledge. I had never heard of you, until scrolling through RU-vid, and I ain't no spring chicken. Kudos to you on your highly appealing artistry. You know, you should keep at it. I think you're going to be very accomplished someday.

Great job, the title of your video has been something I have enjoyed over loud amps any day and once had four Roland micro cubes running at once it sounded huge. As for your homemade reverb pedal that’s awesome! I highly recommend the anasounds reverb pedal with all three spring reverb units. I have one and it’s amazing in front or in the fx loop totally transforms any amp into true spring reverb. Keep up the awesome work. Performance at the beginning was well played!

Hello Marcus, I am a new subscriber. ❤

Was mir bei dir so gut gefällt, ist die Dynamik in deinem Spiel.

You are always inspirational, Marcus. Greetings from Sydney

Thanks for that Video! Please show us how do you do the rake on the guitars!

Marcus. Was ist los, Sir?.. I agree.. I could gig with the pedals you mention, but I also need my Eventide Micropitch in the loop for fun! Otherwise, just a little delay and reverb and coffee (Strong) and I'm off to the races.. How's the weather in Germany? I'm thinking of visiting Darmstadt in Hesse. My friends live there! I hope you're well my friend and by the way you have a very cool style of playing sir. Very cool. Be well, be safe and thank you for the videos kind sir. Regards from the heartland. South Central Indiana. USA Tim.

Love your stuff Marcus. Really helpful. Like all of the other comments say.... inspirational, educational, toneful and dynamic. But most of all tasteful and musically articulate. Soooo godd. Cheers Neil (AUstralia)

That's Sackrattengeil Marcus! Awesome insides! Thank you very much

Great song and great playjng. Great writing more than anything I think. !!! Some of that lead reminded of Pink Floyd in a way. ❤ Very Cool Marcus. Fir some reasin I dint get yiur notifications and Im not sure why. As of kately at least and its frustrating. ❤

Sehr geil! Das Set Up klingt fantastisch. Super Dynamik ... Die Bedroom Lautstärke Clean ist sehr fein ;) Der Gorilla holt das allerdings auch gut ab .... und das bei der Lautstärke. Irgendwie habe ich auch das Gefühl dass es nicht das Equipment alleine ist ;) Cooles Video , thx !

Großartig - könnte mir das stundenlang anhören. Machst du auch mal einen workshop in Österreich?

So tasteful, spot on!

Einmal mehr: Ganz tolle Lesson, Marcus. Einfach grossartig dir zu zuhören. Kannst du ein Geheimnis verraten? Wie funktioniert die Chord Progression über welche du solierst? Gruss aus der Schweiz

Du spielst so wunderbar den blues aus unseren Herzen…you lonesome star .. i love you

Marcus You are a Fantastic Musician... I love the Music ELECTRIC OUTLET.

Para quem sabe o que faz , é simplesmente maravilhoso o som ! Show!!!!

What about the speaker and the micing?

Amazing. Sounds amazing.

Eins steht DEFINITIV fest, Marcus ist DER Beste und gefühlvollste Gitarrist in Deutschland und für mich noch ganz ganz weit hinaus. Unfassbar was dieser Mann ( Mensch mit mega Ansichten für mich) für ein Gefühl für die Gitarre hat. Das ist für mich absolut Weltklasse Niveau...Gary Moore war nicht besser, Marcus ist eben....so sehe ich das....KLASSE Marcus...

I just discover you and I think you Are the Goat! Excuse my english, i am french😂

My wonderful pedal is the vintage Rochester factory MXR Commande Preamp. Works well in front of Marshalls in particular. However it's about as popular as a case of the Covids.

.... von der Intensität erinnert er mich grade ein wenig an Paul Kossoff.... aber nur vom Gitarrenspiel..... bei allem anderen gibt es keinerlei Parallelen.... gott sei dank

Klingt fantastisch! Zu gerne würde ich den Angry Gorilla mal in Kombination mit dem SV20-Mini Plexi hören. Ich bin aktuell auf der Suche nach einem guten Drive- oder Distortion-Pedal für den Amp 🙂

"Cold Hearted" - Gary ❤

Peace Brother.. And thank you. ;o)

I use IRs, with two gain stages with light compression. Sounds best with a Strat.

Pristine words, BROTHER!!!!

Echt super, gefällt mir total 😎👍. Beste Grüße Eric

Thanks for the video! By the way Marcus, I love almost clean feedback sounds and wrote a few very cool octave riffs using an almost clean sound going into feedback BUT...the amp is almost unuseably loud; what would your take on dialling in such a sound, maybe by using certain pedals without getting too compressed?! THANK YOU!

Danke

I like to use the silver spring reverb pedal by Mad professor for my spring reverb needs

Hello. What homemade tube reverb tank do you use exactly? What kit? Thanks for the video! Hallo. Welchen Reverb hast du gebaut? Wie heißt der Bausatz genau? Viele Grüße und DANKESCHÖN!

Top wie immer. Jetzt würde mich noch interessieren wie laut bei dir "Bedroom level" ist ;-). Grüße Timo

I just bought a Sweet Elephant but have not had it delivered yet (just ordered 2 days ago). How do the Angry Gorilla differ? Is it more an aggressive distortion? Is the Sweet Elephant more of an overdrive? Should I own BOTH? :)

Schon mal das Surfybear angeguckt? Im Grunde ein Tank als Pedalform.

wow! great tone, great playing, great feel. How much of that has been improvised and how much has been "composed"? Inspiring vid again! 🙂

Marcus spielt sich wieder die Seele aus dem Leib und... wird immer perfekter.... always a pleasure....

Everything's is going to that effects loop??? great tone great playing as usual...

Musik 👍👍👍👏

Marshall reflector, cheap and it does the job for me😋

By the Way, gibt es eigentlich ein Video wo du das Sweet Elephant mit dem Angry Gorilla im Vergleich spielst? Der Unterschied zwischen den beiden Pedalen würde mich mal interessieren. Liebe Grüße

Sensationell, der Sound der Anlage und vor allem den Ton den Marcus mit seinen Fingern erzeugt. Hätte ich doch nur mal mehr geübt und von oben ein wenig Talent mehr bekommen. Unglaublich dieser Klang!

Hi Marcus, great tone! How does one get their hands on an Angry Gorilla to try?

Sehr viel Weisheit in dem Video - if you can´t get a great sound with 2-3 Pedals, it won´t work with a huge board! Aber ich glaube, der Angri Gorilla klingt am besten mit einem Plexi, oder? Zumindest um den fetten, tollen Ton zu bekommen wie Marcus. Über Vox oder Modelingamps kommt man da nicht ran, wenn man ihn vorschaltet. Du hast den Level vom Gorilla sehr niedrig (hat ja viel Output, das schöne Ding) -bei mehr Output würde der Amp und die Delays sonst geboostet und übersteuert? Ich hab es auch an einem Victory V40 probiert, sehr cleaner Amp, klingt mit dem Gorilla aber nicht so wie der Plexi. Denn werd ich wohl verkaufen. Grüße Wolfgang

How many decibels is your bedroom level? Sounds mentally loud.

Wow ...Great Sounding Pedal....Do I need a new pedal ..Oh no...;-) just kidding

I really admire your technical mastery and the greatness of your expression, feel and tone. But one thing - you shouldn't do videos like this being on drugs, dear brother Marcus. And second - being obsessively overdramatic all the time is - I'm sad to have to say so -just boring. Think of Gary Moore who always strived to be the best……… with all my love

Level god!!!
