GUITAR 101 channel, based on my free theory site: onevoiceinc.wordpress.com. I created this as a resource to help guitarists. Hopefully it is both informative and fun at the same time. The goal with all these is to keep each video within a 3 - 4 minute time frame (that being said, it's pretty fast-paced... it kinda has to be). If you like what you see, SUBSCRIBE, and I'll try to keep making new videos.

Ha-you got it!
The tube amp is the Best way to play guitar, warm, armonics, wider sound....
I love both of my tube amps- the Marshall DSL and the Fender Bassbreaker 30r. I'm working on a review video for the latter now. Stay tuned. It sounds really really fantastic. :)
Oh man. It’s so good. This thing is pure joy
Hey. I've watched a ton of amp test vids (mainly because I occasionally get the itch to buy a new amp and guitar shops are getting fewer and fewer) and I have to say that this one was really really good. Too many online reviewers talk crap or can't really play anything other than a few tired old blues licks. Or, when the gain is cranked, all they do is chug for twenty seconds, before trying those same blues licks as before but letting them ring a little longer, then doing the devil horns sign with their picking hand. It's dreadful. Really cliched stuff. Your vid was properly informative and I enjoyed it. Helps that you can play, too. As a result I've subscribed. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.
@ProcalHarem very kind! I definitely •try• to come at this from the "if I'm on a budget and only able to buy one thing, what would I want to know about with this product?" mindset. For a larger part of my guitar journey, that was my own reality. If I can help one person avoid buyer's remorse (from their own hard earned cash), sign me up! :) On that note, I bought and tried out a VERY competitive amp (to the DSL) a few months ago - the Fender Bassbreaker 30r. If you're looking to buy an amp currently, please look at that also. I'm trying to get a legit review video out for it ASAP, but I can't seem to get it out fast enough with work schedule. Both amps have strong selling points. I find myself loving the Bassbreaker 30r more than the DSL40 (personally for my own individual musical tastes). There are a small handful of review videos on KZread in the meantime... while I try to push to get this review out. I'll add, it's also loud! I'm using a JHS Little Black Amp Box and a Boss Noise Suppressor to make it home friendly, but unlike the DSL, it has separate EQs for both the clean and the dirty channel(s). Wanted to put that out there in case one of these amps might be more suited specifically for you. :) With that out of the way, thank you again for your kind words. Makes this channel and the time spent creating it so worth it. Have a wonderful day, friend.
in the past I used a DSL2000 and liked it . . but two back operations . . and many years of rock'n'roll abuse later . . I'm forced to go with somethin' smaller . . I dig your no-nonsense approach . . clean, classic gain (I don't even use use ultra-gain that much - - maybe for recording) . . works well w/ pedals . . fuckin' A sounds like the ticket . . thanx again for the demo/info . . . JH . .
@JamesHawkins-m2s one thing to add (after discovering it a few months ago): try the Fender Bassbreaker 30r, or at least look it up and see if it's the absolute perfect amp. It rocks brutally AND gets those Eric Johnson cleans so well! I'm actually working on a review for it now. I still actively use the Marshall live and still love it, but I've gone over the moon with the Bassbreaker 30r. It has an EQ pet channel, and the natural amp frequencies are to die for. It's a new discovery I've been using the past two or three months (and since posting this Marshall review). :)
Bro, you had already earned my subscription about halfway through the video because i dig your dry sense of humor...but playing "outshined" right out of the gate just earned my respect! Easily one of the best songs of that era!
@michaelmay9059 THANK YOU! Very kind! Yeah, I love some Soundgarden (and Alice in Chains). I'm currently working on a Fender Bassbreaker 30r review video that will feature AIC's WOULD? and some other cool songs. :) I've finally figured out how to get better audio in my videos along with a better camera. I'd consider replacing the previous videographer guy, except he's me, haha, so... Have a great weekend! :)
@onevoiceinc I'm a huge fan of AIC as well. It's funny cause I know most people, and the music industry group Soundgarden and AIC together because they came out of the same city around the same time, but to me, it's hard to compare them to each other. Its like comparing Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd. Sure they are both rock bands that came out-of England in the 60s and 70s, and they both changed the landscape of popular music, but they are so different. Idk if that's a good analogy but it makes sense to me.
@onevoiceinc I can totally relate to experimenting with different ways to record audio and video in the pursuit of better tone and higher quality audio. I've been scouring YT and online forums and spent a few thousand dollars on different audio gear learning how to record myself playing guitar. I started a Guitar YT channel about a year ago. I haven't posted anything in about 4 or 5 months because Iost my job and have had some other stressors in my life, but I need to get back to being creative. Honestly, I think I started the YT channel because of the allure of different potential revenue streams and also all the free gear I see other channels get. Lol. If I'm honest with myself I think I'd be misusing my time making gear videos when it's not my true passion and won't help me with what I actually want to do. Instead I've been using my time writing songs and trying to get the best possible recording of them.
@michaelmay9059 believe it or not, I originally started this channel as an extension of a free guitar theory/ education site I had created. Prior to the site, i was going to just do live music theory seminars (?) as an extension of my other musical projects and duties to help guitarists get more out of their instrument and be able to learn live content faster as a result. It got shot down by some ~naysayers~ who could also pull some strings. I refused to be defeated, and I got the idea to start a site and later this channel. My thoughts were to keep it free and keep those annoying commercials off the site and the YT channel, so I never monetized the channel... only to realize YT adds advertising anyway (sigh). Somehow, it's shifted into more of a gear review channel over the years. But yeah, being able to create and help people has been the motivation, even if it's helping people to be able to make better informed information on gear (and not regretting spending their hard earned money on gear they won't like or need). It all starts with creating music, though. From there, creating various forms to deliver it (ie recording, live shows, KZread, etc). I visited your channel just now, and noticed you had a Collective Soul song on your site that I've also been working on for the review video I've been working toward. Funny! Small world! But let me say YOU CAN DO MOST OF EVERYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO DO (minus flying or wall crawling. That just doesn't work, haha). I want to STRONGLY encourage you to create and see where it leads you. I'm going to subscribe to your channel right now to add my tiny contribution, and if I can help in any way I'm able to, let me know. We're more than a KZread community, we're a musical community. I like what you wrote, and I'll be rooting for you, brother. :) Rock on, loudly!!
@michaelmay9059 yes!! When I used to hear "Seattle bands," I used to ask, "Which one? Hendrix, Heart, Queensryche, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, or?") Such a great music hub for such musical diversity and creativity. :)
I feel the same way about effects loops! I cant for the life of me figure out why Fender doesn't put effects loops on the majority of their tube amps!? The only exception is the Hot IV Rod/Deville. I mean, what if you wanna use a time based effects pedal with your Deluxe Reverb or your Princeton?
The Bassbreaker 30r also has an effects loop. I am actually working on a review video (actually 3 videos when all is said and done) about that amp. It's Fender's answer to the Marshall dsl40cr. I'm really impressed with it. It's like the DSL series minus the shrill highs but with two separate EQs (so you can better balance between the clean and the crunch channels. It technically has 3 channels counting the Extra Gain mode (that builds off the crunch channel). Two years later, I still use this same Marshall DSL, but I'm really close to using the Bassbreaker 30r in its place. As much as I love the Marshall, had I known about the Bassbreaker 30r at the time and tried it out, I may have bought it instead. If you're looking to buy an amp, I'd definitely recommend at least checking it out also. For many the DSL checks their boxes, but I am VERY surprised that Fender came out with an amp in this case that runs pretty neck and neck. Like their Special Edition Custom telecaster series, there's almost zero advertisements about it. One other difference worth mentioning, however, is the Bassbreaker 30r (I keep listing that number because the Bassbreaker 15 is not nearly as usable or versatile as the 30r, FYI) is LOUD. I get around that and use it at home by running a JHS Little Black Amp Box in the effects loop to lower the volume. Aside from that, it's perfect in my opinion. I know this was a Marshall DSL video, but I wanted to bring all this up after discovering what I would consider a potentially better alternative. Hindsight... and yeah, I 100% agree, though, about effects loops. Seems like they should be in EVERY amp. Not sure why most Fender amps don't just design that already. Doesn't make any sense, huh? Anyway, sorry for the long response. Thank you for your comment. :)
@@onevoiceinc it's all good, thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
is this 2 piece body or 3 piece
@sameerkoirala7945 if my memory serves, it was a 3 piece with a bolt on neck.
I have the red one and love it!
@brentenman9291 the solid red or the blackberry burst? Either way, Fender got this one right!!
@@onevoiceinc yes think it is blackcherry burst and yes its a killer axe! Not sure how this has flown under the radar for so long! That amber is 🔥
Paused at 0:43. It seems to me that amp #2 is the Marshall. It has more of that high end tube sizzle and presence. If I'm wrong, I'll be surprised but that's my impression in the first 40 seconds. You can give the Katana a smiley face EQ and crank the presence and give the "deep" cabinet resonance, but you still simply cannot replicate that tube sizzle. If you know what to listen for you'll hear it immediately and I did. I don't know how to find part 2 of your video but I'm 100% sure I'm correct. #1 is the katana and #2 is the marshall (in the first 40 seconds, I didn't watch the rest).
OK I skimmed through the rest. For sample 2 it's the same. Katana/Marshall. For sample 3 it's the opposite. Edit: also, you have image stabilization on in your lens. I can hear it. I'm not sure you need it on a tripod my man :).
JB all the way, PG's sound subdued
Pickups are too high. You have "stratitis." The guitar needs a good setup.
Compare this one and the big letter dsl. Theres a difference. Big letter dsl sounds way better.
Man your playing could make the shittiest amp in the world sound good.
VERY kind. Thank you. :) Of course, I've been playing a lonnng time, so ~hopefully~ that invested time is paying off. Are you looking at a Marshall DSL? If so, I'd ask you to try the Fender Bassbreaker 30r alongside it and then decide. (It's also in the same price range.) I got one just recently, and in my opinion, it's phenomenal, plus it has additional options (and a separate EQ for the high gain channel and better switching.) I'll be doing a review video on that one soon. In the meantime, I have a short clip posted on this channel called "Musicman Sabre meets Fender Bassbreaker 30r" that briefly shows a quick demo of what it is capable of. :)
This is how you do a pickup comparison. Well done!!
Very kind, thank you so much!
Been considering picking up a used DSL, yours sounds great! Thanks for the review.
I'm about to do a review for the Fender Bassbreaker 30r. (I LOVE IT!!) I'd try both out and see which one speaks to you. :)
Thanks for your help, in making my decision on weather to buy this amp or not.
It's absolutely great for getting the Marshall sound. If you're wanting an overall great amp with diverse options, I'd actually suggest you check out the Fender Bassbreaker 30r. I got one semi-recently, and it really gives the DSL a strong run. They're so similar, but the Fender has two separate EQs, which is what Marshall ~should~ have done (in hindsight). I use both and love them both, but if I had to only use one or the other, I'd take the Bassbreaker. It's really loud though, so you'd probably want to buy the JHS Little Black Amp box with it if you're wanting to play it at home. Honest reviews, that's what I try to do. :)
Very nice I kind of think I'll be buying the Boss Katana 100 Mark III.
I haven't heard the Mk3 yet, but I'm betting it'll be super versatile. :)
@@onevoiceinc I've heard the Vox VT40X is also pretty good, You ever try it?
@HotGates I haven't. To be honest, recently I got a Fender Bassbreaker 30r to try out. It's become my new favorite. I still regularly use my Marshall, but the Bassbreaker has blown my mind. (I think it may sound better than the Marshall.) As far as the Katana, I've used it for live and recording aspects a ton over the years. Recently, though, I ran into an up-and-coming guitarist that I might be donating it to, to help him along. The Katana is an absolute beast for so many things. Wish they had been around when I began my musical journey.
@@onevoiceinc I'll check out the fender too, But my story goes I started playing guitar in 82 at 17yrs old so I had all the yummy things from back then but my favorite amp back then was the Peavey 5150, And after my 2nd daughter was born in 94 I quit playing and put my fender strat under the bed until I picked it back up last year. But technology has changed and the katana seems nice but I don't know if I want to mess with apps to make it sound right.
I really appreciate this video! As a worship leader and fellow praise and worship player as well, I like how you touched on that aspect of this guitar. I have primarily seen videos playing or using the Sabre as a metal and hard rock, so it’s nice for you to have shown the versatility of the instrument, so thank you! Definitely something I’ll have to start saving my pennies and dimes for.
Thank you! Yes, many of these type videos will sidestep worship and go right into the edgier styles. More and more I feel like worship needs to move a bit more into the spotlight... especially given that I've been playing in churches since 2003. :) And yes, I absolutely LOVE this guitar. I honestly can't put it down. I'm trying really hard to get my Fender Special Edition guitars back into their normal rotation, but I can't seem to put the Sabre down, hahaha.
Nice review, but the power tubes are EL34's, not EL84's. Just sayin'....
I put that in the description notes. :) And thank you! Next review will be for the Fender Bassbreaker 30r, so stay tuned.
Thank you man
That said I think the Boss had some nice lead tones that really shone through in the second comparison.
I won't lie, I spent a BUNCH of time creating that tone. Lots of trial and error before finally dialing it in. :)
I could totally tell amp 2 sounded better. Not surprised. Every time I hear people gushing about the Katana, I don’t get it. Something about the sound just feels…dead to me. Empty, hollow, like there’s something missing that should be there. Not to say it isn’t a very fine piece of equipment, but I’ve always felt the tone was off to me.
The feel is the biggest area where you'll notice the biggest difference between the two. The beauty of it, though, is someone on a tight budget can grab a Kat and sound like a Boss through a PA at a venue, so that's a win. Being totally transparent, there have been times where I could hear the digital aspects, but typically I was the only one who could where I was playing. Believe it or not (and this will sound fictional even though it's real) I've fooled MANY very seasoned musicians over the years with solid state equipment - very much including one of those Line 6 Bogner/ hybrid Spider amps years and years ago. (I don't think you could pay me to play through it now, hahaha. It sounds like a toy.) I fooled a very reputable producer once with a solid state Hughes and Kettner. I actually caught him later on peeking in the back of the amp with a flashlight trying to find the tubes, hahaha. My more recent amp of choice: the Fender Bassbreaker 30r (tube amp). It sounds incredible. I'll be doing a review on that one soon, so stay tuned. :)
In the first test, I liked Amp 2 better. In test 2, I liked amp 1 better.
Really tasteful review! Excellent!
Thank you for the kind words!! It keeps me inspired to make more videos. :)
Through my studio headphones and speakers amp 1 was my choice in everything.
The first two are a particular setup and the third example reverses the order just to throw things off a bit. :)
Does this amp have good gain for some heavy metal stuff?
I personally think so, although I guess it depends on what you define as metal (that name seems to mean different things to different people and seems to change regularly, hahaha) and how much high gain you're wanting. It'll do Metallica no problem just the amp. Beyond that, you probably want a boost pedal. The BOSS SD1 is popular with this amp, and it's only $60. How that helps. :)
@@onevoiceinc thanks !! as long as I can do some Metallica
@rioslj9452 oh yes, definitely. I only said my previous comment because they're are odd souls who don't consider Metallica to be metal, hahaha. To me, it doesn't get anymore metal than Metallica. :) But yeah, it'll do Metallica, AC/DC, and all that good stuff.
Great demo! And killer playing thank you ! Been looking hard at this guitar for awhile
Thank you! I recently got a Musicman Sabre core model, and even still, this specific Fender still gets a LOT of play. It's a great all around instrument - live, studio, you name it. The pickups, the neck, the weight and comfortability... everything about it is top shelf. I don't know why Fender doesn't advertise it. That's the great mystery. :) If you do purchase it, you'll love it, I'm sure of it. And thanks again for the kind words. The people who view my channel are so cool. Keeps me inspired to make more content. I'll be featuring this guitar again in my upcoming review for the Fender Bassbreaker 30r amp (and other videos, I'm sure).
Good playing sir. The Division Bell is a phenomenal album. I'm between a 214ce and a Yamaha red label fs5 and I can't decide.
Thank you! I love that album so much. I haven't tried that particular Yamaha. I'll say, though, the Taylor is so easy to play, and it sounds great either direct or mic'd. The pickup system they use is very top shelf. Let me know what you end up going with (and if it's awesome). I love hearing these kinds of things. :) Oh, and apologies for the audio on the speaking parts. I finally (just recently) figured that aspect out and corrected it for the Musicman Sabre review.
Love the tube sound. I gravitate to it vs digital amps. This is the amp I’m gonna get!
It's a great amp. All I'd say is check out the Fender Bassbreaker 30r and compare the two just to maximize your options. I have both amps (i just bought the Bassbreaker recently), and each one is great. :)
I have old Marshall's a 84 2204, and a 94 1987x without the FX loop...and this DSL sounds nothing like them. Sorry folks, no 1x12 V-Type...yea a lame V-Type, combo will sound like a Marshall head and cab...not gonna do it. I'm using ENGL now anyways, the headroom is so massive on ENGL it puts Marshall to shame. The reason I have this amp..(better with the Marshall Vintage 12") There's a Guitar Center near me, and they dropped it and cracked one side of the amp structure and busted out all the tubes as the front panel came apart and just chopped off all the 12AX7's at their bases....I watched them take right out back and put it in the dumpster, and I got it out right after and fixed the cab, removed the pieces of busted tube legs out of the sockets, checked out the whole amp for any damages to the PCB etc. Then replaced the tubes and the amp works just fine....and this amp had all the tags on it as it was still new. There was also a Paul Reed Smith Sonzera 50w 1x12 combo in there also, but the whole cabinet was in pieces, literally. I rebuilt that also, everything works... lol take that GC! I got over $1k of nice amps for free
That's a huge win! You ended up with a treasure, I see. Just so you know, I'm not paid by Marshall or KZread - just a guy trying to help and give some kind of indicator of how different things (I run across) sound and hopefully prevent any buyer's remorse (if I can help it - I've had plenty in my lifetime, lol). Very glad to hear you were able to acquire that amp, though, and you turned it into something amazing, it sounds like. That's one of my biggest mottos: use what you have and make the best of it. Sounds like you did exactly that. Win. :)
@@onevoiceinc well its a different animal, I run closed 2x12 cabs, this is a partially open cab and 1 speaker. It’s a nice little practice amp for my computer room when I’m working on some recordings I just meant it will never replace my current setup. I must admit that GC. probably tossed it because they couldn’t fix it and sell it with any kind of warranty, and clearly Marshall or GC just wrote it off as insurance, and I bet they don’t let their employees go through their own dumpsters…or they weren’t knowledgeable enough to fix it
@nasticanasta I just recently bought a Fender Bassbreaker 30r, and I gotta say, it sounds killer. I'm currently running the Marshall live (and I'm running a Blackstar Amped 3 into the Marshall's return to get 3 usable channels in a live context for fluctuating dynamics - it's a nice balanced sound overall. I find the Marshall is built more for a certain kind of rock feel, and I need more diverse styles for what I'm playing). I eventually hope to do a Marshall dsl vs Fender Bassbreaker comparison video, but we'll see how that goes. I definitely know, regardless, that I love tube-driven sounds. :)
I have the limited edition CRC Vintage in white with the coveted Marshall Vintage speaker. But it doesn't soiund like this...there is so much over-production in this video it's unrealistic.
I admittedly had a cartoon unicorn mix it for me. (No one was s'posed to know.)
This was awesome. A great overview of the guitar and your talents. Your story highlights we should never take anything for granted and thankful for the time spent on the earthly plane.
Apologies, Plain!
Very kind, and yes, so much learned over the last two years. :)
Great review. Outshined by soundgarden top tier song
Love the guitar. Sounds amazing! Glad you made it and get to enjoy such a great guitar
These are always the best kind of comments (especially these first three). Keeps me encouraged and wanting to post even more content... so I thank you for that. :)
I use the classic gain channel as my clean channel, with the gain low and the channel master high.
When these first released and Sweetwater had them, I was scrolling through all the different colors and options for probably an hour. Can't remember all the crazy names for them. But was noticing only certain shades allowed much wood grain to show on the backs. For that money I'm partial to having something besides black. Also, the variances from one example to the next were faily drastic. Definitely wanna sift through them to find a "good one". But wow were the good ones good! Amazing.
I was wrestling between the Blue Moonstone and the Cobraburst. It came down to tiny nuances at the end for me. :)
Beautiful guitar and great playing sir!
You are very kind. I wasn't joking about being smitten with this guitar, hahaha. I'm working on the next video - hopefully the Fender Bassbreaker 30r guitar amp and a Pink Floyd cover (and probably some other stuff). The Sabre will definitely be a big part of that video. :)
I'm really looking forward to it. I've always wanted one but financially they're really out of my reach.
@aaronp6426 I was originally eyeballing the Sterling line, and even that was pricey (for me). Had the strange circumstances not popped up, I doubt I would've sprang for it, only due to that price tag. Ultimately this was a celebration for surviving two unrelated perceivable near death experiences that happened less than a week apart (in addition to a bunch of other circumstances that had people super close to me wondering if I was going through some form of Job scenario... it sure seemed like it for a time, not gonna lie). Out of it all, I grew from it, so there's that. I'll say, though, if the circumstances ever allow for it (and hopefully MINUS the crazy external circumstances, haha), I don't think you'll be disappointed. :) As far as the new Fender amp, it It's really the perfect marriage between modern and those awesome Hendrix-y tones. It's noisy and loud, but it sounds great, haha. I'm working on as big a production for that video as my brain will allow. :)
I have the bassbreaker 007 along with a few other amps and I love that little amp. The thing sounds phenomenal for what it is, it's loud enough for my little "studio" area and then some. Fender really did a good job on it. I've also considered the 30 as well but I dont have the space for another amp. I wasn't aware that Sterling did the Sabre too. I'm sure the specs are quite different than the EBMM version. I had a CT50 and that was a nice "strat" type guitar. I'm gonna have to check out the Sabre then, thanks!
@aaronp6426 I'd watch positive and negative reviews on it and see what you think. Most everything I saw on the Sterling models were (very) positive, but if you bought one and it sucked, I would feel awful, haha. (That's the truth though.) There are a BUNCH of videos on the Sterling Sabre so you can start there. If you Do get one, though, let me know. I might look at one myself, hahaha.
Beautiful telecaster 🤟
I just found one for sale in my city for 450. Also a Vox ac30 cc with 2 12s for the same price. Id like your thoughts on which one i should get. I have a fender blues Jr and it just has basically one sound. Its an awesome sound, with the volume cranked and the preamp volume down low. But it cant do what i need it to do so its getting replaced. May keep it around to try and run them stereo, not sure yet.😊
I have a Fender Bluesbreaker 30r about to arrive at home (from Sweetwater). If possible, hold off for a week so I can try it out and let you know how it compares. It has two EQs, a drive channel, and a more drive mode setting. It's supposed to be everything the DSL is and more. (You may want to remind me, though, lol. Lots of big things are happening and a new video in the works.) That's a great price, though. :) I'm not very knowledgeable (on an in depth level) of the AC models. I have friends who run those, but Vox's frequencies aren't really my forte. (It's all about preferences.) I was looking at the Laney Ironheart models, but then I ran across the Bluesbreaker 30 from Shane's "Intheblues" channel. He does a comparison between the DSL40 and the Bluesbreaker 30 that's very interesting. It got my attention... so I ordered one, haha.
I really like mine. However, the reverb is pitiful. Embarrassing actually.
That, and the shared EQ for both channels (and all 4 modes). It does what it does very well for any one channel/mode, but for playing live in certain styles, it becomes extremely challenging. I ran into that reality months after posting this video. I still love it and use it live, but I've had to get creative with how I use it live.
First, I know it's been a couple of years, but my condolences for your parents' passing. I lost both of mine several years ago. It will get better with time but you will always miss them. Second, I loved your review of this amp. Sweetwater just sent me an email that they lowered the price and I'm considering buying one but I do have one question that maybe you can answer. Is the channel switching done with MIDI commands as in the JVM Satriani head or is it some kind of electromechanical setup? I ask because I wonder what would be the best way to switch channels using a Helix HX EFFECTS or HX floor. Thank you in advance for your reply.
First, thank you for your very kind words. In the last two years, my wife and I lost both of our parents - both hers and mine (in addition to me surviving a head on collision with a zoned out motorist). It's been a bizarre two years for sure. One foot ahead of the other, I s'pose. As far as the channel switcher, it's more mechanical in nature than an actual midi controller - though there is a midi-compatible plugin on the back of the amp. If I were to make a suggestion, I'd recommend holding off for a few weeks - I have a Fender Bassbreaker 30 I'm waiting to get, and with the individual EQs per channel (and extra gain control), it ~may~ end up being better. Not sure. I'll find out soon. I'm using my Marshall live (and loving it, but I'll see how this beefed up Fender sounds. I'll be posting a video for that as soon as I can. (I'm halfway done with my Musicman Sabre review video. The Fender amp will be next in line. Thank you again for the kind words. Hopefully this reply is helpful. :)
Isn’t the scale length different for both of those guitars? The FMT is 24.75 and the super Strat 25.5 scale length?
No, both are 25.5". I prefer that length, so I only buy guitars with that length. Smaller lengths feel strange to me. :)
@@onevoiceinc I always thought the FMTs were 24.75. Thanks for letting me know.
2:49 You realize that English is not even among the top 3 most spoken languages in Europe, right?
English is seldom spoken in America, too, but I roll with it.
Swap out the V type speaker for a Creamback M65 and if makes the DSl 40CR sound even better .
Take out the band and it’s obvious which is tube
Live or in a band setting, then, that's a win for both. :)
Man, that amp sounded perfect for all that great playing you did! I watched a guy do 80’s covers with this amp a couple of times at some clubs and that’s when the DSL caught my attention. Then I was asked to play a few songs with my brother and his band at a gig. His guitar player let me use this amp. I couldn’t believe how good it sounded. I’ve got a Silver Jubilee, 2nd one. And I’ve had a few vintage and hand wired Marshall’s. The DSL is a great amp.
The Pearly Gates took a little while to grow on me. They always sounded a tad bit too harsh to my ears, but they do work VERY well for gigging. They cut through a mix very well and don't get muddy in the room. (They also combine pretty well with Hot rails in the middle if you want a tad bit more midrange but don't want to lose the top-end presence that you get from the Pearly Gates)
Merci Top ta demo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!! ;:) Very kind. Glad it was helpful.
1st Example, Amp 2 Tube 2nd Example, Amp 1 Tube 3rd Example, Amp 1 Tube I own both Amps and the Tube definitely has more of a Presence and Feel. The Solid State just sounds weaker and Artificial. I hope I’m right.😁👍👍
