Pete - “You’ll never be Hendrix, because he was Hendrix. Just be the best you!” This is the best guitar advice (from a master player!) and can be applied to any of our guitar heroes that we can be sometimes tempted to emulate. Be inspired by these masters and then use that inspiration to become your own unique guitar playing self. Then you’ll be playing from your heart, as your genuine true self. Great episod , mighty amps from PRS and many thanks for the ongoing humour and lightness that you bring to the world Andertons crew, you bring happiness to us guitar nerds in these strange and troubled times!
That just means you need one, or one like it. So you can *_make_* yourself that good. I'm not kidding or ragging on you. Amps like this will make you a better player because they subtract all of the help and excuses you get from more, shall we say, helpful amps. There's nothing like one of these loud, stripped-down, no-frills amps to make you (and everyone else for miles around) hear *_exactly_* how good or bad a guitarist you are. Instant motivation to get serious about improving. Plus, you will be introduced to the wide universe of dynamics.
I’ve been playing for 33 years already… man time flies 😜😳❤️ I love to play… it’s what I do for a living ❤! Love Andertons Videos ❤️❤️❤️ Happy Holidays!
When you guys are really enjoying the gear for real, it can be pretty infectious. The amps did sound really good and the next level sound quality of Anderton's video production really brings out the best of them. I have a request to ask of Lee and Pete. I would love to see you guys play your respective Telecasters more often in videos. I know they have featured many times before. Especially Pete's famous purple one. However, I don't ever tire of seeing or hearing it. I'm also a massive fan of Lee's black Thinline Tele and I would've loved to have heard it thru these PRS amps. I know that you guys have to feature a variety of guitars, but I'd like to hear that Thinline Tele more often in general if possible. Thanks for another great video. I enjoyed that.
Pete saying to not be Hendrix, but instead just be you is a great lesson. You can't be the greats of yesteryear, but you can be the great of tomorrow. Also, those amps can totally do metal if you want them to do metal. Get something with humbuckers, a Tube Screamer and crank those things. That's what Metallica did in their early days and it worked well enough.
True- but why would a metal guy buy an amp you "can" use for metal instead of an amp made for it? No one is playing Cannibal Corpse followed by Little Wing.
Yep , every guitarist loves to play some hendrix inspired licks/riffs real loud with a fuzz and wah at our deposal , don't we : ) , i did miss the univibe sound though , that would have been the cherry on the cake !
I think you are correct. Great players are great and use what is available to its full extent. My favourite player is Richard Thompson and his most memorable video is him explaining how he adapts to rental amps.
Skip ahead? Why? Part of the reason I've watched this channel for years is to see and hear you guys - and now a girl too - play. In my younger days I'd often drop in to music stores just to listen, watch, learn and be entertained.Thanks!
That 20W version at that price is very tempting! Especially considering I have an original 68 JTM 45 that is extremely loud. I tame it with a Freyette Power Station.
31:15 I was thinking at the start it would be great if you’d compare the HDRX with the Magnatone. And then here you are saying it! I’m thinking about getting one of them and it would help to hear them side by side. Awesome video, as always.
I think the 50 is a great amp. Put it into a Reactive Load (Suhr or Fryette) and slave the line signal into an effects return of one of your other amps (needs to be an active loop) or go through a solid state power amp. You will be arriving at a nice home/studio level and a superb sound. No matter if clean or cranked up this thing is great and sounds absolutely beautiful. This is about the 50, can’t speak for the 20.
just no. grow up, the clues in your name, "Mr". adults say and spell it fire. if youre an american i fully expect it though, youre education system has failed for decades. cant expect any less. its not your fault. if youre british though, just no mate. please no.
The Deco is definitely a Hendrix thing. There is tape flange all over Axis Bokd as Love. Yes it is added after but the deco doing that sort of tone will definitely get you on the ballpark.
Your forgot to plug a fuzz face into it and the roll back the volume wasn't the fuzz face a big part of jimis tone and volume rolled back to get cleans that may help it clean up a bit
When the Captain hit the attenuator with the Gibson (humbucker pickups) you left Hendrix and entered Pete Townsend territory, imo. Sounded great. Sounded more Hendrixy on attenuator with the single coils.
Awesome Video 😊lots of fun! Captain, Can we have a video series where you and Pete are challenged, and have to make up a couple song excerpts together (like a garage band) in a style that you may or may not be comfortable with, and have Anderton’s Buddies like Dave Simpson, or Rabea, or the TPS guys, Rob Chapman, ETC. give you advice on gear and settings to help you guys select gear and tones to meet the challenges? (Funk, blues, rock, metal, Djent, soul, folk, country, electronic, punk ETC?) All with Anderson’s gear for whatever budget is set in the challenge! 😃
Andertons had a Fender Road Worn Mischief Maker in purple for a while. I grabbed it off the website... nicest guitar I've ever owned or played. Hands down. No debate. No doubt the purple skies are just as good.
Danish Pete is always sporting killer shoes. And these amps sound great...very Hendrixy but also good for blues rock or old school stoner rock or whatever.
its a copy of a sixties amp mate, hence no loop. and yes, it is 2022! and many players still dont use a loop. danish pete for one. the pedal shows mick and dan for two. i dont even want one in my jtm 45. keep your loops. depends what style you play though doesnt it really. maybe these amps just arent aimed at you?
Stop putting yourself down Lee. You're better than millions of other people on the guitar. You've put in the effort to learn. Just play and have fun. Thanks guys. I'm off to listen to 'Hey Joe' now... Damn it!!!
Now we know-- Jimi was just using his gear! It's amazing to see Pete turn into him because of the 20. It demands that approach to playing. Disappointed by the 50. Ordered my 20 today.
Ok Captain here is my challenge? Almost every Guitar player, especially beginners have flirted with a Strat and Blues Jr Amp. Show us amateurs how to get that Buddy Guy, Hendrix Creamy Blues Tone with your Pedals and this set up!! We will be waiting 🎉
Could you imagine if he just started getting worse until one day we're just watching this guy struggle to play smoke on the water... 😂😂oh shit wait that's me.
In the description I didn't see the guitars, and the pickups, and how many winds of wire each pickup had and the magnet types, alnico 3 are good for maple fretboards.
Hilarious! For those of us old guitarists who actually " Experienced" a living Hendrix and learned to play the sound. I can't be alone thinking Paul Reed Smith built an amp that'll create the vibe and sound sound.. Did PRS examine SUNN amps too? Sheesh.
ok, its 2022 and almost 2023, if a amp company is reprising a amp from yester year i honestly dont see why they need to not include som emodern technical upgrades. the hdx20 is a perfect example of this, i want that master volume. i have a new amp on my want list (its the only one on the list actually)
Effect loops can add or reduce volume. My Bugera has an effect loop send and return volume knob for just this purpose. If it doesn't have those knobs, it's entirely possible there's a very slight boost or cut to volume, which could be perceived as a shift in tone. I don't think they change or reduce any tone as long as the send and return is unity volume with the amp itself. Anyone saying otherwise is just pointing out the Fletcher Munson effect
not all fx loops are created equally and thats just a fact. and they absolutely CAN AND WILL suck your tone if you dont have a good one. theres tube powered loops, solid state loops, buffered loops for a start. which is yours? i bet you dont even know. educate yourself before making bold statements. its not all about volume either. not at all actually. volume is the easy thing to control. youre putting a loop in the middle of the preamp section and powertubes. you can change TONE drastically in doing this. youre completely changing the natural signal path of the beginning circuit. im an amp builder myself. listen to dave friedman or that pedal show on fx loops. you will learn its not the fletcher munson effect whatsoever actually. not at all! youve picked up false info somewhere or youre just an opinionated keyboard warrior. either way, dont share your shitty second hand information until you know its correct and no one can take you to school about it.
@@terrybanks5063 I agree, not all are created equally, I even state that myself. There can be cuts or boosts in volumes in effect loops which can be perceived as "tone sucking". We literally agree on these concepts. Tube, solid state only really gives a slight color to the tone, but you can't argue that every potentiometer is made precisely the same, and that there's zero variation between unities between potentiometers. That's literally all I am saying here. There are variances in potentiometers in effects loops. These are things even the people you mention agree with, and state as well. You can have two of the exact same amp, exact same pedal setup, and they can sound different. Why? Slight variation in components from the amp, any of the pedals, the effects loop, the EQ, the input jacks... I mean it's endless.
Don't want to be too critical, but I wish you started with a Strat and did the Les Paul last. I'd like to get Jimi in my head first, then expand my options. I'm not getting the Hendrix vibe. Pete plays, Jimi is in the building. PRS just sold an amp.
Hm ... 800 for the 20W amp and 1000+ for the TubeExpander (which i would need to keep it flat compatible) ... is quite some money these days BUT whot a dream rig this would be ... don't wake me up 😴🛌
Howdy lee and Pete, does that20 watt have a Xlr out so you can run it into a mixing board?? My black star ht 20 does and I love to use it that way with my in ear monitor, tone o Rama.
When you live in the home of Marshall I’m not sure why you would buy a more expensive American emulation of one. PRS do seem to be driven to have their copies of Fender, Gibson, Marshall, and Klonn. I wonder if this is a pre cursor to the Hendrix estate endorsed Silver Sky?
0k, so you're the head of a guitar+amp company. The Hendrix estate invite you to study his (highly modified and non standard marshall) amp, understand how and why it's non standard, and build designs based on it. You're seriously going to decline that once in a lifetime opportunity and watch the next company in line take up the invite?!! One of the largest selling guitar artists of the generation wants to leave his Fender endorsement because they don't listen to his ideas for change. He's willing to align with you on the condition that you make him a fender shaped body because he's familiar with it. You're going to turn him away and watch the next company bite his arm off?!! Good luck growing your company to the upper echelons of the sector.
@@PaulCooksStuff Of course it’s not a thing (yet), but if it is I hope it’s better received than Gibson’s attempt at their Jimi Hendrix Strat ‘influenced’ model from 2006, also endorsed by the estate.
The Creamback H is not really an interesting choice . It actually makes perfect sense because Hendrix cabs Had G12H25s and G12H30s and the G12H Creambacks are just a high powered version of those speakers .
Anybody else having trouble accessing the Anderton's website?.....None of the links work.... and I can't even get Google to bring it up...... maybe I'm blackballed
Haven’t heard a single demo in which the 20 sounds convincing. Master volume isn’t doing it for me. I think the Marshall Origin 20 sounds better, but that’s only my personal opinion.
