Well, I think it's fair to say that John owned this challenge by a mile and a half. Awesome.

That was great, very pragmatic and John is so right about his three-piece setup. So many musicians (including me) still haul around 20-30kg valve amps, humongous pedalboards and their guitars, while the technology is there to go small and lightweight. Bravo, and great to have a digital counterpart on the otherwise quite traditional valve amp-focussed channel (which I love as well). Now, for fun's sake, please please please ask Mick and Dan to do the challenge. I'd love to see them fail miserably. :P

Would love to see Digital John do a sound like video of various artists in one go

"Sound like Digital John" and it's just like 20 popular guitarists

When you start with a talented musician the actual instrument matters less than one would imagine! The build quality of most/many guitars is wonderful for those of us who can't say no to new gear. Fun video!

I would love a series of videos where Digital John prepares Lee for setting up a fully digital rig with MIDI controller, virtual amps etc. Non-gigging fossils like me would enjoy it.

John's totally complementary to the cast here. I'm loving seeing him featured more.

I took the plunge and bought the Zoom G6 based on the demo of his channel, and I wish Andertons would feature it more, because I have been nothing but happy with it. Dave was worried about durability, but I can say, even though it feels "plasticy", its strong as hell. I've stomped on it with my full weight and it held up, and the sound is incredible. I am now completely digital in my gigging rig. So much better on my back than lugging around a heavy amp lol.

You just know he'd puck a classic vibe strat, Boss Katana and several pedals to give him that great tone he has.

I bought one of those Ibanez guitars for my daughter's birthday because she loved the colour, and tbh i was skeptical until i plugged it in at home, amazing value for money, good build quality, really good sounding PUs so all in all great bang for the buck, highly recommend one 🤘🔥🎸

I loved this you guys! I think John’s great! Keep him on for sure!

As much as I love all the traditional and vintage gear, I'm with John on the elegant simplicity of digital. With a Roland GR-55 and a decently set up Squier strat equipped with a GK-3 pickup, I have all the modeled stringed instruments, amps and effects I would ever need, plus TWO separate synth modules to cover anything a keyboardist can do... also for under $1,000 US. Headphones at home; straight into the mixer at a gig.

When I saw this guitar i went like WOW cause no one ever talks about that ibanez and I freaking love it. I own one for a couple of months and most of the times i forget i have an 1300$ guitar in the other room. Just amazing

Great video I love this series!

I love my Valeton Gp200. I run it through a QSC cp8 monitor. Phenomenal sounding. 10 feet away in the same room is a Boss Katana, a 1973 Fender Pro reverb silverface, a 90's Deluxe reverb reissue, and an older Marshall plexi 1987 with a 4X12 of english greeenbacks....Guess what...I'm using the valeton through the QSC about 95% of the time. hahaha.

I'm trying to decide if this is Lee just being a great salesman or if he was this legitimately surprised at what he was hearing. It's clear John uses this equipment and his knowledge of it produced great sound.

I think he'll always just like the traditional analogue gear more like a lot of people do, because why not? It's fun if your able to enjoy it. But I think he would be at a stage now he wouldn't hesitate to genuinely recommend modelers to people. He's seen the tech grow and become more usable and full featured and his staff and guests use them a lot of time as well.

Finally, someone providing valuable info on a complete setup. I am considering Tech 21 Power Engine Deuce Deluxe with Valeton GP-200LT for electric, acoustic, and bass. I am a purist, nothing beats a tube. However, I am also a realist. Since I never know what I will be playing, a simple yet flexible setup is hard to argue against. Volume of course is an important factor, which you addressed in the video. Nice job!

That's amazing. I can see kids lining up to buy this combo. If I was a young aspiring musician, I'd love this kit.

feeling like John is my spirit animal. Does his homework, knows what he wants, understands that tone is achievable through understanding the rig over defaulting to valves and pedals. Well done my brother.

Man, this is why we love Digital John!!! Man, the value and flexibility of this rig is outstanding and John knew exactly what he wanted! A lot of us Gen Xers were left out of the loop when digital equipment first came onto the scene! The equipment was expensive and limited in it's abilities; many of us just couldn't get a clear view of the future. Digital was daunting for many of us, as is evidenced by the Captain's questions about sound, on-the-fly adjustments, unclipped volume, and the like! John is just so comfortable with the technology that he's actually helped me see the possibilities for a future rig that I could use and his sounds and playing are Ace!!!!! Big handful of booty got kicked here!!! Wooooooo

I have both setups m, gigged last year with a katana 50 and foot controller and 1 guitar and loved it. Also dove head first I to tube amps with pedals and that's alot of fun too

I bought the Valeton for my daughter, and it outputs to a Headrush FRFR108. It's a pretty great steal for the price, surprised it's so affordable.

digital john and dave simpson i think would get along brilliant.i really do .both would learn so much together from each other that would take affortable gear ,mordern sounds as well as old school to a totally new level .brilliant Cap

This is the same as the rig I’m using I love the versatility of the valeton 200

I had no idea those Laney LFRs existed, and now I want a 212!

That Laney FRFR is close to $800 in the USA. With the Valeton and the Ibanez, this rig is closer to $1400 USD. All that said, great idea and a great tone in DIGTAL JOHN’S hands👍👍👍

God, John is such an outstanding player...

Been watching you guys for more than a minute. Digital John can fukn PLAY! No doubt.

Yeah honestly the pickups on the EastCoast sound pretty darn good.

I am impressed with the sound. The Valeton really delivers. In my book you get a Valeton or a Neural Quad Cortex everything in between is neither best or gives you better sounds than the Valeton. Yes they give you more sounds but how many would you need or more to the point how many will you actually use when the novelty wears off.

Maybe not up your alley, but I would love to see a comparison of different amp sim VST/plugins for people who either want to silently play at home or produce in a little bedroom studio!

That East Coast sounds great with the low gain setting.

What a deal. 120 quid? Digital John might be able to afford a few more pixels for his face next time! That or a better processor to reduce the lag a little bit. Great video as ever guys!

Would love to one of the bass presenters do this kind of video!

I think we need to see a bass version with Lee!

That Laney for real for real sounds pretty good.

You should set a challenge sound like “as many as possible” in 15 mins for all the team and as many guests as will have a go. Have everyone guess the maximum number at year end and those that get it right go in a prize draw.

The Ibanez GIO range have always been brilliant. I bought a GRG170DX in Black 13 years ago stills sounds and looks great. Plays better than many more expensive models I've had. They are superb instruments and incredibly low prices. Lee and Pete need to get 'with it' Digital is and has been the future for a while. I have an Peavey Vypyr Modelling amp as well tones from it amazing, and the technology is just becoming better and better the Valeton GP200 gives amazing range and versatility. Nobody needs the lumping around crazy heavy amps anymore, it was backbreaking getting them in and out of the Transit. The future is small, compact and versatile. Good vid.

Brill review 👍

That Ibanez looks great.. really thought it would be in a much higher price range. So many great beginner guitars these days - whereas I would play that Ibanez even though im not new to the guitar game

I would love to hear DigiJohn’s take on the Line 6 Catalyst amps and/or his take on the pro’s or con’s between the Boss Katana and the Line 6 Catalyst.

At "I love a 5-way" and "looks great and feels great round the back" I was thinking "where's Pete when you need him!?" Not to worry, it descended into classic Andertons later on 🤣

Good strap, decent gig bag, some cables and a couple of packs of strings and you’re good to go.

I have little to no interest in the stuff John is here to sell but I really like watching him. Came across his acoustic playing first from Taylor so it was weird at first seeing all the digital stuff.

Proves a lot of vital points. You don’t have to always spend every cent of budget. Johns excellent and should be given more involvement and despite the captains doubts throughout John stuck to what works. Captain can’t stop selling it’s his true passion that’s for sure. Excellent all round.

That’s a great rig!

Ben would be really good! Mick and Dan would be a tough one for them!

I’m currently in Japan on vacation. Surprisingly it’s much more difficult to find an Ibanez than Fender’s or Gibson’s.

More digital John please capt

I love your Videos! How can i switch between stomp and presst Mode?

nice rig , with the change casters for the amp or a trolley a good gig bag spare cables, strings . an extension. and still have enough for a neck tattoo.

Would you still use a separate Klon type driver pedal in this kind of setup or is that gone in favour of a patch too?

Awesome “gig”. It certainly begs the question of so much pedal use.

Where would John require the QC rather than the Valeton? It would be nice to learn when he would choose one or the other and why…

An amazing set up and for under £1,000 what's not to like ? and John could buy a new rug for the demo room perhaps

I would love to see CiCi do a Bass one.

I don’t know how much a Headrush costs in England but all I’ve taken to a gig in the last few years is a Headrand a Telecaster and I’m never going back! And I’m 57.

Was that smooth rock fusion sound a stock patch on the 200, and if so which one is it? Cheers

Wise choice, John

Just dropped in to see if they still use the Digital John tag....0:20 not disappointed :)

I've used many modelers over many years; that Valeton is intriguing. While I doubt it could replace my SY-1000, it could challenge my GT-1000?

The best part about all of these in my opinion is just how different every setup has been! Aside from a few pedal overlaps I don't think I've really seen any other duplicate items to the best of my recollection which us just fantastic!

i would love to see Pete vs Lee on 'digital live rig for under 1000$'

John is a absolut great guitarist. Like his great and always clean playing. His videos are absolut great. The most i like is his tutorial for the quad cortex

Happy andertons is still making videos

Tim Benson

Is there an in-between version of these videos? It's all budget this and sell your house that, all my guitars are over a grand but none cost more than 3. Amps I only have 2 but again they are a fender combo custom reverb and a marshall sv 20h with the 212 cab. Not the most expensive gear but still quality but I can't find any videos like this with artists etc picking out RIGs etc at that price point. Why?

I've got a thought for ya Cap'n. Since you can store TONS of presets in these things, how about one bank of presets for lower volume gigs and one bank set up for high volume gigs? Just switch between banks and POOF! Good to go. When is a "problem" NOT a problem?

“Dad Captain or whatever he calls me”😂🤚🏼 is that a bit like, or as in, the Captain version of a Dad joke?

The Digital rigs are all about having the ultimate in flexibility. Any Amp, Any Speaker, Any Effect. All at differing settings without having to bend down or go back to your amp to change from a plexi to a twin or a dumble. An all you can eat rig banquet.

I'd really like to see Ariel Posen's digital rig! :D

Has anyone else got any more information about the sound of the Laney cab? Is it more on the low-end muddy side or does it have a bit of sparkle in it? I've been looking for a nice little FRFR cab for a few months now.

I was curious what the first patch “It’s GP200” is based. First listen gave me Petrucci vibes. After some research it’s based on a Mesa Boogie Mark IV.

The change should be spent on some coloured socks. White socks are for sport. I was convinced by everything else in your setup.

john is a great player

John should buy a Dimarzio Super Distorion pickup for the bridge, Dimarzio PAF pickup for neck and some Harley benton locking tuners for 30 quid and this Ibanez would be the dream =) Sick how much guitar you get for below 190£ Can the Valeton GP-200 be used as a studio tool ? Can you plug it into a computer as a sound card to record your own music ? If so how does it stack up against something like a Focusrite Scarlett Solo in recording quality ?

Hey Capt! What kind of stool you guys use in this studio? It's seems like a drumm stool...

Do you need an FRFR cab for a digital amp or can you just use a normal cab?

Difference is you can have a different set up with each preset. You become blessed with a device that can also morph in and out of sounds that ordinary pedals and amps cannot get even close to. Viva The Digital Revolution. I've been riding this digital train for many years now.

I want to see how Danish Pete does with this challenge, considering how much he loves himself some expensive amps and pedals.

The Squier seems to have quite a bit of space between the loe E and A strings...
