You should be able to map two different E-Kit toms in ML Drums - please try testing the kit on hardwaretester.com/midi to see what notes it's outputting, then assign them manually by clicking the note name rather than using the MIDI learn button. If you continue to have issues with it, drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll see what else we can do! -Kai

I salute you for the work you ve done in drums! The sets are plug n play, and all of the adjustments are useful and right on. As a producer and player, the only thing I miss is something to adjust the velocity curve and a seperate level for the side stick sound, because sometimes it sound way lower than the snare. Is it possoble for it to be fixed in some future updates? Thanks!!!

Interesting video. I would point out a few things: *1) These are more or less comparisons across PAF style pickups. Even from the 1950s-1970s there was a great variation in PAF winds. So there is no "authentic" PAF.* Just the one the player likes. *If you try an overwound Alnico V PAF style pickup against a high output ceramic pickup vs. a low output Alnico II pickup, there will be differences.* *2) My favorite "PAF" I have tried in series is Gibson's 498t.* The 500t is brighter and thinner, and the Dirty Fingers is even more so. I tend to use hotter and brighter pickups for solos and melodies, while moderate output Alnico V pickups get rhythm tracks because there is more clarity and less high end on 4-6 rhythm tracks to cause ear fatigue. I often put low output Alnico IIs in the neck for warm clean tones and more expressive bends. Low wind, bright, ceramic magnet pickups might be in the neck if I want a bright clean tone like from a Roland JC120. *Pickups with a notable midrange scoop like the Seymour Duncan Custom 5 will be used for a more modern Mesa Boogie rock/metal tone, while a pickup with pronounced upper mids like the Gibson 498t will be used for a more vintage Marshall tone. These are both "PAF-inspired" pickups.* *3) Pickups sound different depending upon if they are wired in series/parallel/coil split/out of phase.* In my experience, Gibson pickups do not change in character very much when using different coil configurations. Using Seymour Duncan's Triple Shot pickup mounting rings with their Custom line, there is much more variation in tones. I have a Custom/Custom 5 BC Rich Mockingbird and I can get many sounds from that guitar. My Gibsons are really only useful in series. Different pickup combinations will sound different when out of phase due to varying comb filtering of frequencies, with some pairs having a more dramatic out of phase tone than others. *Again, results will depend upon each individual pickup manufacturer/model.* *4) Magnet strength, string gauge, and bridge type will determine ideal pickup height.* I normally use Floyd Rose bridges with active pickups. EMGs especially have a very low magnetic pull compared to something like a Gibson 500t, which is difficult to even solder a Triple Shot to because the strong 500t magnet will pull the soldering iron to the pickup. Floyd Rose bridges need room to move, so you have to make sure the strings are low but have full range of motion. Lower magnetic pull will permit closer action without killing sustain. Thicker strings will permit a fuller sound and can be adjusted slightly higher than thinner strings to get the same tone. String material also affects tone. *5) Ideal tone will depend upon musical genre.* Heavy metal prefers a tight low end, scooped lower mids, a pronounced upper midrange, and somewhat bright highs. *I agree that low to moderate output pickups retain clarity and dynamics and are best boosted by the amp. High output pickups are more compressed and darker without ceramic magnets but also cut through the mix. Generally, it is easier to boost a low output, bright pickup than to clean up a hot, dark pickup.* For this reason, I tend to avoid some pickups like Seymour Duncan Invaders, which to me are very hot and dark. *6) I would advise players to experiment with well known pickup models on the used market and go from there. These include the EMG 60/81, Seymour Duncan JB/Distortion/Jazz/59/Custom line, and DiMarzio Super Distortion/PAF Pro. As for Gibsons, I like the 498t/Classic 57 Plus, but the 500t/496r and Dirty Fingers/496r are common.* The market has become saturated with expensive custom shop pickup models from boutique winders over the past 10-15 years, often with only marginal improvements in sound quality. Pickups at or over $200 are ridiculous. *If you are unhappy with EMGs in 9 volts, try the 24 Volt Mod before moving on to more expensive and harder to find active pickups like Seymour Duncan Blackouts or Fishman Fluence pickups.* *7) Keep in mind that most Gibson factory pickups will be 2 conductor only with ground or shielded braid. Their aftermarket pickups are 4 conductor plus ground, with more modern pickups having a ground wire instead of a braided shield. Aftermarket Gibson pickups are also more expensive and more difficult to find on the used market than similar pickups by EMG, Seymour Duncan, and DiMarzio. To their credit, Gibson, like EMG's passive HZ line, has some modular plug and play pickups to make installation easier.* *If you want the basic EMG tone but with 4 conductor plus ground wiring possibilities, try the EMG HZ line. They are underrated. The active versions require special models or accessories for coil split/parallel/out of phase sounds. EMG accessories can only be run at 18 volts instead of 24.* *8) As the video pointed out, pickups are more about feel, which will affect how you play and dial in your sound and thus affect your tone.* I have 50-60 guitars and basses that I use for different things depending upon pickups. Because I play metal and need a brighter distorted tone, tone wood is really not an issue for me. Most guitars in this genre are black and so do not need expensive woods for intricate top finishes. Metal guitars are often made out of lighter and cheaper woods like alder, poplar, and basswood. Tone wood purists will say Floyd Rose bridges detract from the tone, but many licensed bridges use a light, cheap, iron/zinc sustain block instead of heavier brass like an Original Floyd Rose, Gotoh 1996t, or Schaller bridge. That said, for the genre, pickups/amp/boost pedal in front of the amp are very important. The way distortion saturates while maintaining clarity is key. Hope this helps.

I don't understand the stigma around signature models. The way I see it you're basically getting someone elses custom guitar for a fraction of the cost of an actual custom model. I don't own one now but if one came along that had the right specs I'd definitely jump on it regardless of whose it was. Most pickups start off as signature models. I have two guitars loaded with Dimarzio Titans and one loaded with a Dimarzio illuminator, both signature pickups. I like the way they sound. Simple as that. Also the petrucci Jaz IIIs are the best picks ever made. I'm not even a huge DT fan either.

I have 5 of mark series amps, Green stripe, Red stripe, Blue Stripe and a a IIC+.. if they were vastly different they wouldn't have just swiped each version with just a magic marker swipe or a black dot or a + sign. The big difference in the IIC+ and the Mark III was the third channel. Mesa got noticeably different with the Mesa badging vs the Boogie badges. The Rectifier series,The lone star, Road King,Nomad, etc came later and did sound different... The stiletto was probably the most different being EL34 based shooting toward the Marshall tone. Even my newer Mark 5 EL84 based amp sits in my studio with the older mark III'S and IIC+ it too sounds really close even all these years later with totally different power section/ tubes. The petrucci amp is a modern Mark amp and you can line up all the Mark series amps and NO one in the audience would ever know the difference and most guitar players blind folded couldn't pick them out one from the other especially with the transparent EVM 12L black shadow speaker or an MC-90 black shadow. The IIC+ landed production in the right time to become the flagship vintage boogie. Thats when 80's music was huge and that amp was produced at the right time for the players who made it famous. it didn't make them famous. I would argue a Mark III purple, red, blue or green stripe Mark III could have been used by the players who made the IIC+ famous and those albums and concerts wouldn't have sounded any different. They just weren't available at the time those bands recorded those albums. They stopped the IIC+ when the mark III came into production. They stopped the III when the Mark IV started and so on....they are all great amps and tonally are the same. Most of those bands stopped playing the IIC+ and went to the mark III when it came out because the sound was basically the same but the 3 had a third channel, everyone loved that.

Unless someone's playing something like a Strandberg or some other modern design, chances are you're playing literally one of the original style electrics from the 1950's or a mixture of the former. This of course not considering instruments made out of totally "different" materials. i'm usually either playing a Les Paul or my SE Baritone (The strat replica i've got here is temporarily "out of commission") Needless to say, Gary Moore is one of the reasons why I love Les Pauls. I'm a huge Strat fan too
@mlsoundlab15 күн бұрын
Even the Strandbergs are somewhat based on a 40+ year old design (aside from the asymmetrical neck profile). Obviously everyone tweaks these things to be better than their predecessors, but guitar is definitely an area where true innovative body shapes, headstock shapes etc are punished rather than celebrated. There's a reason Fender sells more of the 60s-accurate spec strats than the ultra modern super-spec'd strats. -Kai

@@mlsoundlab To be fair some of the more out there designs look like something straight out of a train wreck :P (some guitars more than others but still) Stuff like what BC Rich makes might be great soundwise for what it's used but those instruments are hedious imo. Back to Fender for a bit, they probably never imagined their bolt-on designs would also lend their instruments a big place on the modding platform space. They did learn how to capitalize on that and were quite clever with licensing the most likely copied electric guitar shape. From replacements necks and bodies and adding more options to their Squier roster on the more budget friendly instruments tier to having other instruments on their family of brands that prior to being in the same group never had that much of a connection to the "Strat look" (Bulb's signature from some years ago was the best example as it was Jackson with a literal Strat Headstock and guitars like the Charvel San Dimas models have literal Strat headstocks) Gibson on the other hand have historically taken a largely predatory stance on this and are still taking very tiny steps into exploring their own designs under their more widely affordable brands.

I am probably not the right person to answer since I mostly play for my own entertainment and most of my interest is in the tech side. But I don't think my taste for guitars would be any different even if I made my living with them, so cheap as possible and something to tinker with and make mine without anyone else giving two cents about what I do with what's mine. Currently #1 position is for 99€ Harley Benton SG DIY kit, which fell to the same fate as my #2 Harley Djenton 8-string fanfret, I was buying a complete project guitar, just straight neck, body and some electronics for a backbone (it's electricity, wire is wire it even works or doesn't in these lengths) and was more than surprised that they were actually good guitars and apart from some setup mods (like the awful default placing of SG's strap button, tightening the tuners, filing and polishing the frets, you know, the basic stuff you need to do with even the expensive sticks) nothing has yet done to them (going to get splitable mics and some odd Jimmy Page/Free-Way Switch combination mod for the SG once I get bored with it). Everyone needs the completely trash Squire Bullet Strat from China which has so twisted neck you cannot setup it well ever and next to it a bit more expensive Squire Vintage Strat which is finding it's place after getting new weightened bridge, Free-Way Switch and neck-bridge tone and SS-frets. And of course, you cannot be Finnish guitarist without Landola acoustic (super odd DC-500-SN here).

As much as I want to get my hands on a Strandberg or an Abasi, I have to make do just playing my fanfret Harley Benton 7 string. It's the only fanfret that I have and it feels so good in my hands. I also just don't have a whole lot of money, so a budget option was the most fitting for me.

Hello ML , i cant seen to figure out why i cant map and track response of both of my toms 1 and 2 to the software .... it is not responding to the input is there a way i can ?
You should be able to map two different E-Kit toms in ML Drums - please try testing the kit on hardwaretester.com/midi to see what notes it's outputting, then assign them manually by clicking the note name rather than using the MIDI learn button. If you continue to have issues with it, drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll see what else we can do! -Kai
@@mlsoundlab Thanks alot !
I salute you for the work you ve done in drums! The sets are plug n play, and all of the adjustments are useful and right on. As a producer and player, the only thing I miss is something to adjust the velocity curve and a seperate level for the side stick sound, because sometimes it sound way lower than the snare. Is it possoble for it to be fixed in some future updates? Thanks!!!
Thanks for the suggestion! It's something we have thought about, and something we may add in the future. No promises of course, but know that it's at least being discussed! -Kai
I purchased the MOFO pack. These IRs have a distinctive character and bite, and I definitely recommend them. When I first heard the quiet guitars in the demo on the ML Sound Lab site, I thought it was some djent fashion that I just wasn't cool enough to understand 😭, but now I see that this was just to demo how well they cut through a mix.
Interesting video. I would point out a few things: *1) These are more or less comparisons across PAF style pickups. Even from the 1950s-1970s there was a great variation in PAF winds. So there is no "authentic" PAF.* Just the one the player likes. *If you try an overwound Alnico V PAF style pickup against a high output ceramic pickup vs. a low output Alnico II pickup, there will be differences.* *2) My favorite "PAF" I have tried in series is Gibson's 498t.* The 500t is brighter and thinner, and the Dirty Fingers is even more so. I tend to use hotter and brighter pickups for solos and melodies, while moderate output Alnico V pickups get rhythm tracks because there is more clarity and less high end on 4-6 rhythm tracks to cause ear fatigue. I often put low output Alnico IIs in the neck for warm clean tones and more expressive bends. Low wind, bright, ceramic magnet pickups might be in the neck if I want a bright clean tone like from a Roland JC120. *Pickups with a notable midrange scoop like the Seymour Duncan Custom 5 will be used for a more modern Mesa Boogie rock/metal tone, while a pickup with pronounced upper mids like the Gibson 498t will be used for a more vintage Marshall tone. These are both "PAF-inspired" pickups.* *3) Pickups sound different depending upon if they are wired in series/parallel/coil split/out of phase.* In my experience, Gibson pickups do not change in character very much when using different coil configurations. Using Seymour Duncan's Triple Shot pickup mounting rings with their Custom line, there is much more variation in tones. I have a Custom/Custom 5 BC Rich Mockingbird and I can get many sounds from that guitar. My Gibsons are really only useful in series. Different pickup combinations will sound different when out of phase due to varying comb filtering of frequencies, with some pairs having a more dramatic out of phase tone than others. *Again, results will depend upon each individual pickup manufacturer/model.* *4) Magnet strength, string gauge, and bridge type will determine ideal pickup height.* I normally use Floyd Rose bridges with active pickups. EMGs especially have a very low magnetic pull compared to something like a Gibson 500t, which is difficult to even solder a Triple Shot to because the strong 500t magnet will pull the soldering iron to the pickup. Floyd Rose bridges need room to move, so you have to make sure the strings are low but have full range of motion. Lower magnetic pull will permit closer action without killing sustain. Thicker strings will permit a fuller sound and can be adjusted slightly higher than thinner strings to get the same tone. String material also affects tone. *5) Ideal tone will depend upon musical genre.* Heavy metal prefers a tight low end, scooped lower mids, a pronounced upper midrange, and somewhat bright highs. *I agree that low to moderate output pickups retain clarity and dynamics and are best boosted by the amp. High output pickups are more compressed and darker without ceramic magnets but also cut through the mix. Generally, it is easier to boost a low output, bright pickup than to clean up a hot, dark pickup.* For this reason, I tend to avoid some pickups like Seymour Duncan Invaders, which to me are very hot and dark. *6) I would advise players to experiment with well known pickup models on the used market and go from there. These include the EMG 60/81, Seymour Duncan JB/Distortion/Jazz/59/Custom line, and DiMarzio Super Distortion/PAF Pro. As for Gibsons, I like the 498t/Classic 57 Plus, but the 500t/496r and Dirty Fingers/496r are common.* The market has become saturated with expensive custom shop pickup models from boutique winders over the past 10-15 years, often with only marginal improvements in sound quality. Pickups at or over $200 are ridiculous. *If you are unhappy with EMGs in 9 volts, try the 24 Volt Mod before moving on to more expensive and harder to find active pickups like Seymour Duncan Blackouts or Fishman Fluence pickups.* *7) Keep in mind that most Gibson factory pickups will be 2 conductor only with ground or shielded braid. Their aftermarket pickups are 4 conductor plus ground, with more modern pickups having a ground wire instead of a braided shield. Aftermarket Gibson pickups are also more expensive and more difficult to find on the used market than similar pickups by EMG, Seymour Duncan, and DiMarzio. To their credit, Gibson, like EMG's passive HZ line, has some modular plug and play pickups to make installation easier.* *If you want the basic EMG tone but with 4 conductor plus ground wiring possibilities, try the EMG HZ line. They are underrated. The active versions require special models or accessories for coil split/parallel/out of phase sounds. EMG accessories can only be run at 18 volts instead of 24.* *8) As the video pointed out, pickups are more about feel, which will affect how you play and dial in your sound and thus affect your tone.* I have 50-60 guitars and basses that I use for different things depending upon pickups. Because I play metal and need a brighter distorted tone, tone wood is really not an issue for me. Most guitars in this genre are black and so do not need expensive woods for intricate top finishes. Metal guitars are often made out of lighter and cheaper woods like alder, poplar, and basswood. Tone wood purists will say Floyd Rose bridges detract from the tone, but many licensed bridges use a light, cheap, iron/zinc sustain block instead of heavier brass like an Original Floyd Rose, Gotoh 1996t, or Schaller bridge. That said, for the genre, pickups/amp/boost pedal in front of the amp are very important. The way distortion saturates while maintaining clarity is key. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the demo and thoughts
Big thanks from a luthier that just stumbled upon this question after placing my bridge pickups TOO far back and getting a really tinny, too-bright-for-most sound
i dont
Which do yiu think is best in a FOH mix for cut and depth?
I play a Friedman cab on stage and now using the Captor X. Can i load this pack into the Captor and able to use the Captor mic placements or i have to choose from one of the mic placements in the pack? Thx!
You'll have to choose from the mic placements in the pack, but you should be able to load these IRs onto the Captor X. -Kai
I would love a reflex version of the Angr cab pack
Thanks for asking about it! 💪 -Kai
Just bought the Mick77 to try with my Friedman IR-D. Pumped to explore!
Sounds like a lot of fun! Enjoy 💪 -Kai
Hi ,Thanks for the plugin for free trial but I could not run the program I installed it and made the related settings input&output are as audio interface voice test is working but the sound is uncabinet woul you please assist how can I run it
What's your setup like outside of the MIKKO2 app? Are you running a real amp+loadbox, a preamp pedal, or something else? Let me know and I'll help out! -Kai
@@mlsoundlab I am using an real amp+load box connecting to UAD Apollo solo interface. I see that Mikko2 input and output level diagram is working but without IR
Could you drop us an email at [email protected]? If you're not hearing the IR, it means that you're likely not monitoring the signal coming through MIKKO2, and instead monitoring direct. -Kai
@@mlsoundlab Hi Kai I sent you message to your e-mail with a video. Thanks
I don't understand the stigma around signature models. The way I see it you're basically getting someone elses custom guitar for a fraction of the cost of an actual custom model. I don't own one now but if one came along that had the right specs I'd definitely jump on it regardless of whose it was. Most pickups start off as signature models. I have two guitars loaded with Dimarzio Titans and one loaded with a Dimarzio illuminator, both signature pickups. I like the way they sound. Simple as that. Also the petrucci Jaz IIIs are the best picks ever made. I'm not even a huge DT fan either.
I got Epiphone SG VE, coz I love humbuckers and I picked the cherry finish. I play Metalcore, NU Metal and all sorts Metal things and sometimes, punk.
Yamaha pacifica and a few epiphones
I have 5 of mark series amps, Green stripe, Red stripe, Blue Stripe and a a IIC+.. if they were vastly different they wouldn't have just swiped each version with just a magic marker swipe or a black dot or a + sign. The big difference in the IIC+ and the Mark III was the third channel. Mesa got noticeably different with the Mesa badging vs the Boogie badges. The Rectifier series,The lone star, Road King,Nomad, etc came later and did sound different... The stiletto was probably the most different being EL34 based shooting toward the Marshall tone. Even my newer Mark 5 EL84 based amp sits in my studio with the older mark III'S and IIC+ it too sounds really close even all these years later with totally different power section/ tubes. The petrucci amp is a modern Mark amp and you can line up all the Mark series amps and NO one in the audience would ever know the difference and most guitar players blind folded couldn't pick them out one from the other especially with the transparent EVM 12L black shadow speaker or an MC-90 black shadow. The IIC+ landed production in the right time to become the flagship vintage boogie. Thats when 80's music was huge and that amp was produced at the right time for the players who made it famous. it didn't make them famous. I would argue a Mark III purple, red, blue or green stripe Mark III could have been used by the players who made the IIC+ famous and those albums and concerts wouldn't have sounded any different. They just weren't available at the time those bands recorded those albums. They stopped the IIC+ when the mark III came into production. They stopped the III when the Mark IV started and so on....they are all great amps and tonally are the same. Most of those bands stopped playing the IIC+ and went to the mark III when it came out because the sound was basically the same but the 3 had a third channel, everyone loved that.
I only play PRS SE Mark Holcomb guitars because in mid price range full fill every thing I need from a guitar. Amazing playability, top sound and they are the most inspiring guitars I had... I sold all other guitars Gibson standard (scale way too short), Ibanez sz320 (also too short scale), PRS SE Mark Tremonti (way too heavy and after many years I realized i just like les paul looks, not the playability and hardly reachable higher frets), PRS SE Custom 24 (also too short)
SE Holcomb seems to be coming up in this comments section a lot! While it's not a signature guitar that's transcended the artist associations, it's a fantastic guitar in its own right. -Kai
Played many guitars over the years, currently sticking to my newly bought Les Paul and an old Whale (kinda looks like a PRS double cut). Heavy guitars, nice necks (surprisingly slim ones, not huge "baseball bats") and tones that I love. Lately I wanted to have a Telecaster for the looks and tones, but hated the neck of the Player serie that I tried and they didn't have any higher end models so I didn't buy a Telecaster. (for now) So, for me : neck feel > tones > tuning stability > general look
Wait, isnt the truss rod supposed to be as long as the center line of the neck?
1993 Ibanez RG-320... 1998 Ibanez RG7421 7-String (neck and Tone)... Schecter Banshee Mach-7 FR S (amazing Guitar, Pickups, Sustainer, Neck)... Schecter C7 MS SLS Elite Multi Scale (Amazing Guitar, Pickups, Neck, fan frets) Ibanez RG9PB 9-String ( because i'm crazy like that)... also i will never own a Guitar with someone else's name on it. don't care who the artist is or how much i love them i just will not do it..
I think a lot of people have an inherent aversion to signature guitars - for me it'd have to be some specific specs that aren't otherwise available for me to be convinced. The 25.5" scale length on the Mark Holcomb PRS being one of them for instance. -Kai
@@mlsoundlab Hey Kai. ok, that makes sense. it is understandable if something of that nature is not offered on any other guitar however i would think (though a far more expensive option) you could work with the custom shop Guitar maker of your choice and get exactly what you desire without needing to purchase a signature Guitar. that said i do not think it crass for other Guitarists to own or use a signature Guitar. i would always just pay attention to their playing not the Guitar necessarily though i might admire the particular Guitarist (and Guitar) it is named for. Guitars like the Ibanez Jem (for instance) are amazing works of Art so i get it for others who might feel that desire to own one.
I love SGs but refuse to own a red or black one because I subconsciously worry that people are thinking "who does this guy think he is, Angus / Iommi?" 😅
That's a big one for sure - the red SG especially is a guitar that hasn't lost its iconography. The Slash-looking Les Paul is one that's sort of become a generic look over time, but the red SG is still very much Angus -Kai
Jackson or Ibanez I need humbuckers and razor thin necks
Can't argue with that! I love having an Ibanez around, set up with mega-low action for effortless speed -Kai
Unless someone's playing something like a Strandberg or some other modern design, chances are you're playing literally one of the original style electrics from the 1950's or a mixture of the former. This of course not considering instruments made out of totally "different" materials. i'm usually either playing a Les Paul or my SE Baritone (The strat replica i've got here is temporarily "out of commission") Needless to say, Gary Moore is one of the reasons why I love Les Pauls. I'm a huge Strat fan too
Even the Strandbergs are somewhat based on a 40+ year old design (aside from the asymmetrical neck profile). Obviously everyone tweaks these things to be better than their predecessors, but guitar is definitely an area where true innovative body shapes, headstock shapes etc are punished rather than celebrated. There's a reason Fender sells more of the 60s-accurate spec strats than the ultra modern super-spec'd strats. -Kai
@@mlsoundlab To be fair some of the more out there designs look like something straight out of a train wreck :P (some guitars more than others but still) Stuff like what BC Rich makes might be great soundwise for what it's used but those instruments are hedious imo. Back to Fender for a bit, they probably never imagined their bolt-on designs would also lend their instruments a big place on the modding platform space. They did learn how to capitalize on that and were quite clever with licensing the most likely copied electric guitar shape. From replacements necks and bodies and adding more options to their Squier roster on the more budget friendly instruments tier to having other instruments on their family of brands that prior to being in the same group never had that much of a connection to the "Strat look" (Bulb's signature from some years ago was the best example as it was Jackson with a literal Strat Headstock and guitars like the Charvel San Dimas models have literal Strat headstocks) Gibson on the other hand have historically taken a largely predatory stance on this and are still taking very tiny steps into exploring their own designs under their more widely affordable brands.
Mostly self made guitars (lps and mccartys) made out of the best african mahogany my Chinese guy can find...😅. Everything indonesian or korean is nowadays shit. (Wood wise). Why african mahogany? Cos it sounds more balanced and has more top end than shit wood. (Okoume/palaquium/meranti) I don't like anything else. Obviously sometimes maple tops. Hardware should be aluminum/brass and the nut bone. Necks C shape, I hate D and thin. Pickups some seymour duncans, irongears.
The difference in low end clarity is huge. I often struggle with getting the bass to shine in the mix.
I play an Ibanez when I need to play powerchords for "main band stuff." I have a Mockingbird for when I need to play slightly different powerchords for "main band" and "other" stuff. I have a strat copy for when I play powerchords on some other stuff. I have also got a highly modified resto Mockingbird for powerchords when the others won't do.
Ah, a fellow virtuoso 😇 I don't know many chord shapes, but I'm very well-acquainted with the three or four I do know -Kai
Thanks for sharing Mikko. I have a few different brands but my most favorite would have to be Ibanez. My first real guitar was a Ibanez RX20 that my parents got me for Christmas. I wish I still had that guitar lol smh.
I can definitely relate - my first proper guitar was a really nice strat that my dad bought be and ultimately when I was in my prog phase I thought that was the last thing I wanted to play and I sold it for dirt cheap. The sentimental value of that guitar bugs me to this day. :P
I am probably not the right person to answer since I mostly play for my own entertainment and most of my interest is in the tech side. But I don't think my taste for guitars would be any different even if I made my living with them, so cheap as possible and something to tinker with and make mine without anyone else giving two cents about what I do with what's mine. Currently #1 position is for 99€ Harley Benton SG DIY kit, which fell to the same fate as my #2 Harley Djenton 8-string fanfret, I was buying a complete project guitar, just straight neck, body and some electronics for a backbone (it's electricity, wire is wire it even works or doesn't in these lengths) and was more than surprised that they were actually good guitars and apart from some setup mods (like the awful default placing of SG's strap button, tightening the tuners, filing and polishing the frets, you know, the basic stuff you need to do with even the expensive sticks) nothing has yet done to them (going to get splitable mics and some odd Jimmy Page/Free-Way Switch combination mod for the SG once I get bored with it). Everyone needs the completely trash Squire Bullet Strat from China which has so twisted neck you cannot setup it well ever and next to it a bit more expensive Squire Vintage Strat which is finding it's place after getting new weightened bridge, Free-Way Switch and neck-bridge tone and SS-frets. And of course, you cannot be Finnish guitarist without Landola acoustic (super odd DC-500-SN here).
been on strats for a long time, but recently got a jazzmaster and i'm pretty convinced it's the only kinda guitar i wanna play on anymore. it mostly comes down to tone and feel
Jazzmasters are super comfy to hold and play, I didn't gel with the bridge system but a G+L Doheny has been in my sights for a long time -Kai
Just picked up a player series Strat. Feels weird to not hunt down the hottest hum bucker Evertune equipped guitar but it’s been refreshing to play some boomer licks 😂
Variety is the spice of life! I, on the other hand, am at the point where I've got 11 guitars and a grand total of two single coil pickups.. 😆 -Kai
0:52 Mikko said ENGL, Amped ENGL confirmed! Jk 😂 Regarding the video I mainly play Schecters. It is a product of A7X being my first favorite band growing up and in more recent years it’s because they offer the biggest diversity in options for left handed players 😄 I also got an Ormsby HypeGTR because they look sick (especially the headstock lol)
Hey Mikko, your haircut looks GREAT in this video. You should keep it that way, really suits you I personally like the Explorer the most because it just fits the way I hold a guitar. The lack of contours on the back makes it kinda rough, and for some reason, I like that. Also the way, the volume knob is out of the way (in comparison to a Strat) of my picking hand, it really suits my needs. So, that would be my pick
I love the way an explorer balances, and an extra added bonus is that they look MEAN 🔥 -Kai
I have some muscular dystrophy. So comfort is top priority. Too bad headless guitars are pricey.
Headless guitars are starting to come down in price as a result of their popularity - have you seen Strandberg's new Essential range? Still on the mid-tier pricewise, but it's a great new entry point. -Kai
Mostly baritones since 2003. Presently a Solar endorsee. Love ESPs and Fenders.. it’s all kinda about the feel of the instrument and the scale
The "guitar is a tool" approach is awesome!
Just FYI, it's actually pronounced ''YNG-VEI''. I also pronounced it wrong for the most part of my life lol.. not an obvious pronounciation!
Swedish is our second language 😅
Jackson only! I can’t live without that neck profile
In case you didn't already know Jackson, Charvel, EVH, Gretsch and obviously Squier are all owned by Fender these days. I was actually surprised how thick the Jackson Misha neck was 😜
@@mlsoundlab yep I know, but still most Jacksons have that slick profile AND the compound radius that wins! Charvel is pretty similar but less extreme haha!
aside from evertune I cant really think of any noteworthy progress in guitar tech. would love to see guitars turn into synths, this time for real. pressure sensitive frets, no strings but instead a type of grid, fully midi support, sampling capabilities, sample modulation etc. etc.
Guitar is so much more expressive and nuanced vs a synth. So I agree that some kind of a synth with as quick of a nuanced touch like a guitar would be amazing. Doesn't even have to be a fretboard necessarily.
@@mlsoundlab Yes but with MPE and midi2.0 will make synths (edit: or hopefully midi guitars) just as expressive if not more expressive than guitars because many things like filters can be assigned to lets say pick attack or fret pressure, pick position, hand pressure on bridge etc etc. I am too stupid to make a guitar like that but I am pretty sure someone will. Its kinda the next logical evolution of guitars IMO.
Strats & super Strats.
My priorities are feel and choosing the right tool for the job tonally. That said, without a specific purpose in mind, I usually reach for my Strandberg classic 7 with Lundgren M7s because it can cover a lot of ground sonically and it feels great. A great guitar enables and enhances your creativity. My PRS CU22s and CS Fender Strat are also great but I don’t keep them out on a stand, so I don’t play them nearly as much.
I also pick up guitars that I know will be in tune and that really plays a big part!
Strats & related designs are GREAT and I have no problem with them especially for their comfort not to mention their whammy bars & other things that acoustic guitars don't have. But the guitar is in itself such a challenging instrument to play & play well that I prefer the sharper, less comfortable shapes & corners that say traditional Teles & Les Pauls have for being closer ergonomically to the acoustic guitar which is my favorite & most often played guitar. Yngwie & EVH of course make for fantastic counter arguments that I can't dismiss. But I'm not them I'm me. And if say PRS uses a similar way of thinking to mine for their own guitar designs then I agree with them wholeheartedly & wonder that PRS acoustics should be very desirable for electric PRS fans who think of the acoustic guitar as I do.
I have a few PRS se models, a few Ibanez, an Esp horizon 2 with duncan´s that I love, an old Yamaha rgx820, an old washburn, a few Sire s7 Larry Carlton, a Fender tele. And, the next purchase will probably be an FGN. I love superstrats in general, you see I was born ugly, so the more beautiful, carved and sparkling the guitar is, the better. It sort of works like distraction/compensation 😜
Oh for sure - the reason for having pretty guitars is to distract people! 😂
Prs Custom 22 and Prs baritone Mike Mushok cause I like them much and because I was highly inspired by "Freak Show" from Silverchair back in 1997. Most of the bands and artist I like do play on Prs. They are to my eyes the most beautiful guitars and shape ever.
It does go both ways! Maybe the problem is guitars heavily affiliated with one super well known guitarist? Also I don't have this problem with signature Fender strats because they're not that easily recognizable: Sambora, McCready etc. do not scream I LOVE BON JOVI AND PEARL JAM!!! 😂
@@mlsoundlabHonestly I don't like Staind a lot only some songs. I was only looking for a good looking baritone and I fell in love with it before knowing it was a signature.
all hail the 71 superlead still king
Exactly my thoughts about custom guitars. I want JP guitar but without JP or DT logos on them. I am losing my own personality by this.
Yes it's definitely a problem with most signature guitars. One of my best PRS guitars is a Navarro US version which is a Custom 24 in white... I can't play a single Navarro riff. 😂
PRS SE 277. It just sounds amazing and plays fluidly.
Ohh that's got so much bang for buck!!
I play an Aristides 060s, it’s super comfy for me, it’s from a small business with people I found nice to work with, I was able to customize it the way I wanted, and I found the concept of the materials really cool. I’m always inspired when I pick it up.
Man I have to get one of those eventually! ❤
Charvel San Dimas, because Charvel
That is clear logic!
I play the guitar that i play, because it's the one I have. The one I want to play/have is not made or sold by anyone. I will need it custom-made.
Ibanez K7?
@@mlsoundlab Nah, bro. The guitar i currently have is Schecter Diamond Omen 7 Extreme BCH. It is fine for what it is, but the guitar I want would be very different... Still a 7 string, but way longer scale, something even like 28-29''. Perhaps a Telecaster body shape. Open pore black or white body... (Don't really want it colored, because black/white fits with any stage clothes). Hidrophoibic and glossy fretboard. Maybe Fanned frets. Evertune The closest to that, I found is Solar Guitars A1.7ROP-29+, yet it is still not quite that.
What happens if a custom guitar not fit for you?
@@leongrinberg8758 The same thing happens as with the current guitar. I use it. I make music. Then later, when I feel like it and have the funds, I get another one that fits me better. Just because a hammer isn't perfect, doesn't mean you can't hammer a nail with it and you have to wait till you get a perfect one...
As much as I want to get my hands on a Strandberg or an Abasi, I have to make do just playing my fanfret Harley Benton 7 string. It's the only fanfret that I have and it feels so good in my hands. I also just don't have a whole lot of money, so a budget option was the most fitting for me.
Oh yes budget also plays a big part here!
