USED LINE 6 PODS, ZOOM GFX AND OTHER OLD AMP MODELLERS ON REVERB
i think it has the gearless tuners ned steinberger created right?
I am not sure but I would not be surprised. I’d love to give this a go with my amp and really give it the time.
I’m being really inefficient here but I looked it up and yes, they have the steinberger gearless tuners.
Blud is speedy I can do it normal speed but this is out of my level. Nice solo btw
My first amp in 2005 bought it with a knock-off Les Paul still a solid piece of gear🤘
Long live CD
The most modern death metal in 90s
They look horrible 😂
I said the same thing when I first saw pics. The guitar makes a lot of sense though. It’s wicked. Top quality stuff
"Not warmed up"... breaks into Final Product by Nevermore! Awesome little demo. While aesthetically it is not something I would buy, I'd be curious to see how it plays.
Haha I am just very self conscious about my playing. It plays amazing. Don’t ever have to worry about that with one of these. Top quality.
I think it’s actually a pretty damn cool looking guitar
You’re a damn cool looking guitar!
@@BrianBower how dare you!!!
Can someone help I've brought this cab but unloaded I have a cellestion g12m greenback and cellestion g12 h 70th anniversary both 16ohm which output jack do I plug into stereo or mono ,help please guys
Tosin af
Damn right! It’s a wicked guitar too
I have one of these guitars with those crappy tuners. Here’s the deal- Modern sealed gear tuners use a 10 mm hole. Those sh!t tuners we had use a 8mm hole, which are considered a vintage style tuner. Vintage 8mm tuners use a (push in style bushing). Modern 10mm tuners have a nut and washer. There seems to be only the two sizes too. It’s either a 10mm hole or an 8mm hole. If you follow this rule of thumb there will be no surprises when you go to swap tuners. I bought Gotoh vintage style locking tuners for mine. They dropped right in the original bushings. Gotoh even gives you a special little punch tool to remove your old bushings if you want to change them. If reading this, follow what I’m saying and you won’t have to ream the holes. Order the correct size tuner for your headstock. Again, it’s either a modern 10mm or a vintage 8mm. The Gotoh locking tuners I bought on Amazon were only 50 dollars. I bought the vintage style locking tuners for my telecaster too. They both look exactly like old school tuners. There is no thumb screws in the back of the tuner. The mechanism they use is quite clever the way they designed it. I also recommend getting a digital veneer caliper if your going to do your own guitar work. It’s super easy and handy to use. Get one on Amazon for like 25 or 30 dollars. Okay good luck everyone 👌
Shall we buy it from Flipkart?
I have no idea. I bought mine from The Source in Canada at the end of the day. Find your reputable dealer wherever you live. Either that or purchase it directly from GoPro
I just bought a used epi LP special 2 simply as a learning platform to putz around on. It was cheaper than going with a kit from harley benton or something like that, and all the upgrades can be used on something else or resold. Should be fun.
Oh yes! You’ll have fun with it for sure. It’s an easy enough platform.
Wish I had seen your video before I did the same damn thing! We received ours today and did an unboxing video (I'm glad we did) and it was just like what happened to you exactly, GoPro box, documentation and then there was that Akaso. We put in a return and have sent it back...so we'll see but I told them I have the unboxing video.
Oh man that sucks!! Are you in Canada? I wonder if it’s the same group of people doing this. It’s such a crappy thing. The good news is Amazon will take it back. It’s still disappointing. I got my GoPro at the source a few weeks later. Sorry about that. I hated having to make this video. I hope more people see this. Also screw the people who scam like this. It’s horrible.
@@BrianBower Yes, Nova Scotia. We wonder if they got a whole shipment like that? Swapped at the source maybe. We took it back to Canada Post right away so now we wait. But, I'm glad my husband did a video of opening it. We'll wait for the refund and then I'll get it straight from GoPro for same price. I think it's horrible that people can do this to someone else. Usually Amazon is pretty good but we've found buying electronics is sketchy...we buy our android phones from Amazon and the one I got for myself didn't have a phone in the box. Empty. Couldn't do a return with an empty box so I had to call them to work it out. They did give me a refund. Just never know with electronics...they must have a massive theft problem at their warehouses? While I'm not happy this happened to either of us, I feel slightly better knowing it didn't just happen to us. I'm glad no one was around to hear all the swearing today (wasn't me lol).
@@Reenaj2666 same province as me! Yeah it can be a gamble on there. Also beware of grey market items as well. Those are usually from third parties. I have a camera that was grey market but it works great. The worst with these GoPros is that they’re shipped and sold by Amazon. It’s due to their return policies being so easy to scam.
awsome playing
Thank you!!
Mine is still working. Have bunch of broken amps laying around but this one is still working. Hopefully forever. I would apreciate that.
Mine always turns on even after sitting around. Once during a power outage, I plugged into a generator and just jammed because it had been a few days without power. I got a Boss Katana mini that runs on a batteries now though so I can use it.
@BrianBower I have mini amps on batteries too. I never had to actually use them but they are sitting there cute 😄 one of them even has drum machine.
definitely plenty of toxic folks out there, but some were funny
Great video
Thanks man!!
I'm not toxic, fuck you. No, but really, I've nearly completely disengaged with any group that is gear-related, regardless of which type of gear. Camera groups, guitaaaaaar groups, etc. So many toxic people in gear groups, and so much brand dick-riding that it's amazing.
next time one of my friends say they "need" a new guitar I'll send them this (I have this model too, my only complain is the tuning stability, I'll probably change to better tuners soon)
I would say if you want a lighter guitar, it would make sense. This thing is back breaking. I really should do a new epiphone video.
@@BrianBower yeah people always say its pretty heavy, since it was my first guitar I got used to it
@@IgorGabriel-uo7jj I jammed with it one night and as much as it’s fun to play, I definitely prefer the weight of my Strandberg or Solar. Either way, Les Paul shapes look great. There’s a Gibson I’d love to have.
Reminds me of the time I went looking for my guitar with an income tax return. Picked out an 09 Schecter C-1 diamond series. Got it 10 years ago.
Oh man, that is a great memory
@@BrianBower indeed. It's my first and only guitar. It was amusingly enough before Best Buy pulled the plug on selling instruments. I still remember looking at was like which one. I pulled it off its hanger and it felt like the one. It was marked down for clearance to $160. The guy marked it even further down, to $150 because it didn't have a box. Later found out it was a $650. Nearly sold it with an amp I got then later sold. Sad part was that I was motivated to learn. Until one day at work cleaning up after a mechanic. He left brake fluid all over the apron outside his bay. Had to mop it up with concrete cleaner. The mop kept breaking and had to fix it. It stripped the calluses off my left hand. Caused the strings to burn my finger tips, just touching the strings. Amusingly enough the mechanic was a drummer.
this is prob your best song BTW, not saying that cause im biased towards the cleanz, its just really quite good lol
I often forget about this one! This guitar needs a refret so bad too. Thank you
You're famous in my house!
Woo I’m famous is two houses. Swipe right on Tinder
I would go to japan just for that damn
Ohh yeah and there are so many guitar stores. One I didn’t get to film was G Club close this. You’re not allowed to film. It was a really cool store too.
I do not know why masvidal does not get the fame and recognition he deserves Ofcourse he is praised among musicians but he deserves more praise among mainstream metalheads and critics
I was entertained, good one!
haha glad people find it funny. i can only imagine what else is out there
I'm not positive! I'm FAT!
But you're cool fat!
I was so worried you were going to grab it, lol. Always awkward in Japan that it’s typical to ask for assistance, but we must abide by it nonetheless. Have you been to the guitar street in Ochanomizu? It’s a must see for us guitarists/bassists !
Haha I didn't do that at any store there. I had already been to that street the night before and knew to ask especially with a guitar this expensive. That street is amazing. I have some janky footage of it I should edit up and post soon.
@@BrianBower Cool stuff! I’ll be sure to follow up to see it 👍
@@SpeedyDolphin27 There is a full video of this store. I really liked this place. Japan as a whole was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed hiking there too.
Because ninety percent of people that pick up a five thousand dollar guitar can't even afford it. High end guitars get worn down because everyone wants a free ride
cringeXforever!!
Cringe is love, cringe is life
Stay positive folks! I've met a lot of good folks on here. However some of these were fun. If you liked this, I will do more.
Literally me at every guitar store
Haha it was great to feel that excitement again
It's fcn amazing
Thank u, next
That Kaizen was sweet though
@@BrianBower I believe you. I was going at the Ariana grande song going in the store
What guitars have excited you?
Why do you look like you’re crying who hurt you
I cry when i concentrate 😂
I had bought a 90s Epi. Les Paul Standard, and i was dissatisfied as most will be with sound and tone of the stock axe. However, when i replaced the P Ups w/ a Seymour D. JB set, new wiring, new 500k pots, new switchcraft toggle. bone nut, intonation check, polished frets, and it was a totally changed guitar. So much tone and sustain. My friend had 3 Gibby LP's and frankly the Epi has a more distinct sound and i like the neck on the Epi better. I did the rebuild about 6 years ago now. The Les Paul Standard model is a great build guitar.
This video was lots of fun. You should totally bring it back out and try it again and see how far you can push it using a hybrid setup.
I dug it out but just need some time to get something recorded.
You commenting on my video reminded me that I needed to check this out haha. Glad I did! Solid track. Well done!
Thanks man! I really need to get this out there more. I am really happy with this track but have no idea how to market.
╚╬╝JUDAS PRIEST╚╬╝
I still have my 1987 S540. It still the only electric I play.
Just found the same model cabinet about a half an hour ago at a thrift store and was priced at $49.99. It is in pretty good condition and will work perfectly for my Boogie.
I found a used one in an electronic surplus store about 6 years ago. I took a chance on it. It didn't work. I got it fixed. It broke again. Repair people got it working. They said if it crapped out again, it would need a new board. It crapped out again. New board cost more than a new Katana. I gutted it and drive the speaker with an EHX Howitzer. I can do most all the stuff the amp did with pedals. I wish I could make it sound as good as yourself.
I was surprised it sounded this good. Never used the recording out until I did this video. The thing with these amps is a lot of them probably were just used and abused. Mine hasn’t been treated like ass. If the new board costs that much, I’d just get the Katana. If you like the pedal thing, I suggest checking out my friends channel. His name is Derryl Vi and he can dial in tones so much better than me with pedals!
@@BrianBower Yes - Right now I'm happy with the Howitzer and my Zoom pedals. Thanks
@@daniellarson3068 I need to revisit an old video of a Zoom pedal that I did absolutely wrong
I will get this mixed and out sooner than later!
Nailed it 😂
Nice with a small head, but anything else will look weird.
It really does haha. However you can just get the horizontal version of that matters to you
Get it!!!!
I could loose hours in that place
Oh man you could spend days doing this in Japan. The guitar stores are amazing
I absolutely love my cube 30x. Sounds amazing and it takes pedals really, really well.
That’s one I’ve never tried. For what they are, they’re good amps! I never sold mine. It’s great if I don’t want to use my Kemper somewhere or if someone else needs an amp.
Nice! Hope you have a good trip!
Thanks dude! I’ve been home a bit now though. Just getting these videos out. Was such a cool trip. Would go back
So the $1000 guitar does what exactly?
