Synergy + Two Notes is the magic formula. Literally the best tones I’ve ever achieved. Gonna go get the pack!

I got the Hidden Gem pack when it was released, and now I finally got my Vai module and this video is exactly what I needed

I bought these and my guitar sound just immediately got like 30% better. Thanks a lot for it! I also bought the PT pack because you mention him a lot.

Thanks Michael! Love that I have these now, will dig into them soon and see how they sound for my current projects!

Awesome Michael! And your playing has come a long way!

That’s some tasty playing - excellent demo and thanks for all of your videos.

This is yet another great reminder to follow your dreams…. Quite literally! Glad you got the cab, Michael, or you’d always regret it. Really appreciate you making it available to the world. BTW…. Since watching your Jem Jr video, I’ve pulled mine off the wall for the first time in months and am wondering why I don’t play it more often!

Hey Michael, got these yesterday and they do sound amazing! Thank you :)

Great story, glad you were able to "win" that cab. Awesome intro song, too.

What a score for you…and now us! Thnx bro

Bought tons of cabs over the last few years. BHG Hidden Gem "Plus" the Collection are the best by far I've come across. Superb. MY guitar finally sounds good through headphones !! THX MN !

In my heart I'm just going to believe that exact cab was one of them Steve used for the 1990 MTV Rock N' Jock Star Spangled Banner. Sorry, Jimmy and Zakk... it's the best Guitar Spangled Banner of all time.

DUDE! Me too! That Vai moment is stuck in my brain forever!

Keep up all the great work my man. Your sounding really good,and love that you're playing on your Gem 2 guitar. Music is a great thing, keep having fun. Long live Metal.

Sounds amazing.

Sound huge! Greetings from Switzerland!🇨🇭

Sounds incredible!

Thank you for this, just got the two note captor x and the green cab sounds so good with my 5150

Wow Michael, you are pretty good on that there yellow thang!! You took some Vai-isms and totally made it your own. Awesome.

Love the chord progression in the track.

Awesome pack and amazing track and playing! Michael: you should consider releasing it commercially!! I really love it, the polyrhythmic 16th note part (at 0’30 seconds) really blew my mind!!! :-)

Sounds fantastic.

Reporting back after doing a couple demo tracks with these IRs, man they sound just incredible!!! Doing rhythm guitars with my jcm800 (2203 w/6550s) with the v30 IR on the left and my super lead (50w EL34s) with the greenback IR on the right sounded just huge!!! They blend really nicely together, bravo good sir. Money well spent.....for me at least haha. Thanks for taking one for the team Michael!

whats not static about the DYnir using plugin amp sims.. still not hearing anything special over non dynir's.

Love the videos

Wow!!! I saw DLR in Spain in Skyscraper´s tour. I asked in social media to Steve Vai if my guitar was used in that tour because He owned my 77FP during 3 years, as far as I know about my guitar (and I saw several jems flying on the stage in that tour!!! maybe one is the one I have here!!) but I had no reply. Now with that Cab IR I have kinda Steve setup in my fingers...just need another fingers my friend!! I´m going to get your Cab right now, I´m not going to be a better guitar player, I´m not going to sound better...but I need it, no more vacation, no more school and no more food...at least this week ahahahah. You are great Michael Thanks for sharing it and I hope you to sell this cab IR a lot (your family deserves a vacation man!!), the truth is that your Two notes pack sounds amazing, and I cannot wait to try this Hidden Gem

Great Skyscraper-esque tone!

YEAH!! Love it!

Yessss!! That's a no brainer purchase, this'll be a mainstay in my Torpedo Live.

Gee. That must be the best opening tune you've ever played. Wow.

Dang man. That sounds incredible. The original speaker was probably my favorite, then the Greenback. That Two Notes thing is insane.

Take care sir. Edit: Ok, the pack is badass. The White and the Black sit in a mix at first get-go. The Green is my favorite though for pluging into an FRFR with proper amp or sim and letting 'the Greenback rip. Love it.

I have to grab these IR’s….I have a Marshall Jubilee cab that I bought new in 1987…it’s loaded with the Marshall branded V30’s,8ohm versions…..which are the same speakers that would be in the Vai cab in 1986….Mine hasn’t had the workout the Vai cab has had,but mine after 35 years of being thumped sounds amazing…..

congrats and great job, now you need to make a profile of the Jose amp it was used with, it sounds mucho specialo :)

Glad you won the auction Michael. Some would say a high price to pay for a Marshall 4*12 Cab. It definitely sounds special though. If you want to get ‘that’ sound, that’s the price you had to pay, and I’m sure you’ll sell a truckload of I.R.’s. to compensate.

revisited this demo-this IR might be one of the best i've ever heard. great job!

Oddly, the Black one is probably my favorite. But both it and the v30’s sounded great!

Michael maybe you would have some input to the Two Notes guys, can you please propose them the eventuality of adding a slot for loading a speaker impedance response IR (corresponding to all major celestion speakers) along the regular ir loader in their wall of sound and cab m products? that would actually make a huge difference and only then it will sound like actually playing through a real cab and with the real feel. it's what fractal does and why their stuff sound just like an analog setup. I already do this with two instances of wall of sound but would be nice to have that posibility in the cab-m as well for live use. once you add an speaker impedance ir to the chain, you can never go back. it sounds night and day better

Think I'll pair this with the Brainworx Pete Thorn PT-100 plugin.

Hey there Michael...I am posting this here but it doesn't actually have anything to do with this video but all your demos in general. I love what you do and I am an 80 metal guy from way back but I am making my living in the country world now. My suggestion is that you also demo the edge of breakup and tele type tones that these amps and preamps can get. In my experience, even the high gain stuff can be great at much lower gain. I would love to hear a wider variety of gain settings...:) thx

Hello Michael, I saw this video about "The Hidden Gem Collection" IR. It seems to be a way to get closer to Steve Vai's sound. However, I question what is the best Two Notes device to use it with a Boss Katana amplifier? And how can I connect to the amplifier, using the Katana distortion? Will it be through send/return ? Using just the Katana and this IR will I be able to get the sound you presented in the video or will I have to add anything else? Regards.

@BigHairyGuitars

Hi, you can go headphone out or line out, but you have to see if you can bypass any speaker sim that might be on the katana. Then go into a CabM from TwoNotes.

Crunchier than a bar of peanut brittle.

An X100B by Carvin Half Stack made in Mid 80s Works well too for the Vai sound, and about $800 or less these days...

@@sd76-22 you can use an ir loader people like two notes make one, it's basically a pedal that emulates the speaker sound, or if you used a laptop, you can use a software ir loader, usually in a daw, but you'd need studio style monitors (speakers) to listen to the result. If you plugged your digitec into a ir pedal and then your peavey, you wouldn't like the sound because it's a gtr speaker into a gtr speaker, and it's not good. Myself, I use a helix ( same thing as your digitec) but it can load ir's , and use 2 powered PA speakers to amplify it, because they're full range, they work like studio monitors.
