Fuck that, cheap shit all the way. Guitars I play the most are all my cheap ones. Find a decent quality entry model and you're golden! If you wanna splurge, get an Ibanez AG85 or something. Don't spend over $1k on a guitar unless you really love the look/feel/sound of it THAT much!

@gobadgego 2 года назад

I remember hearing they went around to pawn shops and got a bunch of “junk” amps for SFTD. Homme regularly plays cheap solid state amps and toured with an Epiphone dot for a while. If you really want to take a lesson from Homme then go to second hand music stores and test everything/anything out. Don’t just order stuff online because someone sold you on it. Good gear is whatever inspires you to make more music. Aside from that it’s about replicating tones or maybe collecting but that stuff is less gratifying to me.

@deekusucks 2 года назад

This. I personally scored myself a 1979 Peavey Century 200H head a couple of years ago second hand for dirt cheap and can't see myself letting go of it. Great for those fat, greasy, fuzzy tones, pretty similar to this little amp here. I've played a lot of shows and recorded 2 albums with it at this point. Had many people come up to me and ask what amp I'm running and tell me my tone is just mental, lol. I've spent less than $800 total for all of my guitar gear, and that's including 4 pedals, 2 guitars, 2 4x12" cabs and the head I just mentioned. A lot of people spend that much on just an amp head alone.

@DeadWhiteButterflies 2 года назад

Proof good gear isn't always the most expensive. I've got a battered old Ashdown Five 15 bass head (long since discontinued. I barely know much else about it) sat next me on the mix desk, and I've gotten really big smooth bass & guitar tones out of it. The only downside is the fan is noisy, but I fix that by placing it away from any mics and using long cables. My fave feature of it is the DI channel, which means I can plug straight in, and it becomes a preamp of sorts. It's even got an overdrive circuit built in! I genuinely love it. I swear so much of gear history is full of stuff that people didn't use because it was the in-thing, but because it was cheap and no one else wanted it (Roland 808, the original fuzz pedal, the Jazzmaster etc.) These things only became legendary (and then expensive AF) only after the fact. It's the craft that makes the difference. It's way too easy to lost in fetishising gear rather than learning how it works and perfecting your craft.

Robert Quine's main amp in the days of the Voidoids was a Peavey Bandit he stuck an EV speaker in. He used the same amp when he toured with Bowie. The problem with these things is usually a lack of low end (less so in Quine's case), but in the studio you can always make a big guitar sound out of many small guitar sounds.

@platypuspracticus2 2 года назад

Gear is what you make of it. You won't have certain sounds from the above amp but if you work with it, you can make your own music that sounds cool with it.

@TheStacanova 2 года назад

I’ve never owned that Peavey amp, but did record an album with a Peavey amp, because that was what I had at the time. I’ve found, you can usually make what you got work, & sometimes you can stumble across something really cool you wouldn’t expect. I once got a really cool sound on a home demo going direct in with a Boss Overdrive/Distortion pedal. The more expensive stuff can usually get you to at least “good”, much faster, and will give the player more “wow” moments in the room, where with the Peavey, it was “that sounds pretty good”. However, it’s sometimes harder to get that “sounds awesome” feeling in the room, to tape, with some of the more expensive stuff. What sounds “awesome” playing in the room, doesn’t always set in the mix the best.

80's Peaveys really are underrated amps. I love the pre and post volume knobs for dialing in gain. Also, the Peavey VTM 60 head is an amazing tube amp that many compared to JCM800's, and can be found on the used market for a few hundred dollars.

I think the bandit is pretty widely recognised as a legit sleeper amp.

Makes sense to me, I adore my bandit.

I had a model one size bigger as a Bass Amp in the eighties.I never knew you can use for Guitar too.That would have saved me a lot of money.

@rockerbob949 2 года назад

Yup, I watched that video too. I didn’t think they would last long on the used market after that.

My Brother amd a friend from High School back in the 90's owned a Peavey Rage about the same size and similar sound except it was a bit crunchier for metal riffs.

@JeuneLysOfficiel 2 года назад

Crazy ! I've got a friend who's got almost exactly the same Peavey, just a bit bigger, but same sound 😁

i use peavey valve king amps and cabs with a retro generation exp for live and ive always wondered about these older combos. great video

I think the message is you can make good music no matter what the gear. Got mine handed down from my dad, which was his practise amp. No one needs the exact same sound as Qotsa but helps understand how the tones are created, fuzz, low gain, small speaker for the more up front tone. So many decent practise amps available these days even with tubes in. Spoilt for choice. Thanks for the demo though, interesting to see. Mine has been in the cupboard for about a decade, saves me getting it out and dusting off lol

Sounded sick on the bass. And Thats what they used in the bass breakdown for sure. They used a ribbon for more bass too.

@LivingroomGearDemos 2 года назад

I used a ribbom mic too ;)

@cmousdale 2 года назад

@@LivingroomGearDemos Oh nice - didn't know that was a ribbon. That'll be why the bass sounded so good!

I play pedal steel through one. I got a stereo reverb rack and one side goes to a peavey nashville 400, and the other side to the normal channel on the decade. That little speakers tin can tone and the hairy sound of the decade cascade well with the almost sterile sound of the nashville. Gives it a little character.

These types of videos typically FUCK the resale markets about 8 minutes after going up. Even though Josh covered it in older videos.

Old Peavey's are the best solid state amps for the time that they came out in imo. Their early 2000's Vypyr series were great too.

@williamthompson8591 2 года назад

ah man i used to have a vypyr 20 or 30 watt. the delay and reverb didn't work though due to corroded potentiometers. wish i had got another one though, i liked the sound a bunch
