I came across this video last night where Johnny Marr talks about his guitars. I’ve not finished watching yet, but seems a must watch for any Smiths fans interested in guitars.
Anybody know what model he is playing there? Looks/sounds similar to a guitar I use to have.
He talks about it and it’s in the video notes: https://www.pre-warguitars.com/
$6095 -ouch; probably worth it if you have the dollars to spare.
Looks like twin brother to a Gibson I had as a teenager which, sadly, was stolen. Not even sure what exact model that one was.
I've been hoping to find another similar-looking and well-regarded Yamaha Red Label FGX5 (MIJ) locally (if one coes along) just to try; they run a still steep to me $1745. Another similar looking dread I once owned (and later sold) was a Martin which cost me about $1200 in the mid 1980s. Lately I don't have an acoustic which sounds great in a room though I do have a Takamime which sounds really, really good plugged in via a soundhole pickup and which lends itself more to "acrobatic" lead playing than any other acoustic I've ever tried.
Just got my first tube ever:
PRS MT 15 (v1 - the original, which is honestly my preference , big time - I waited for v2 to come out and last month it did so I grabbed one used) + Harley Benton G212
Basically it’s like a better, tighter Mesa rectifier sound , eerily close, but super super tight low end. Then the cab is HB but it’s actually 2x12” v30 celestions in a real wood box cab.
It is literally the best tone I’ve ever heard from a tube amp. It’s like a fender twin or Princeton reverb on cleans and then Mesa in hi gain. So much so that when I found this quarter stack for $600 ($1200 in store , $680+$275 + tax/shipping.. I just grabbed it.
I bought a noise gate and tube screamer and this now djents like a monster - think periphery, animals as leaders, meshuggah, above the burial. Gear and amps and pedals can turn into another rabbit hole so I’m glad I won’t be heading into that world - I got what was looking for and I’m out.
Anyway an axe Fx iii is the best you can do for your recording at home, but as far as playing, nothing beats a tube amp for fun, jams, or live playing.
@yellow_eyez I remember quite a while back when I was shopping for an amp to end all amps. The one that I could settle down with forever and never really need for more. The Tremonti was on a very short list. Congrats on a nice purchase.
Thanks a lot man. Yeah dude. It took me a long time. I always wanted a Mesa rectifier but could never afford it or then later justify the price or room or watts. So I had solid states and modelers my whole life but someone said you just have to get a tube when I got my customs guitars because there’s nothing like a tube amp in the room feel. I was doubtful so I said let me keep it conservative. I went on the hunt for the “lunchbox” to end all amps (meaning a sub 40 watt)
It had to be a SICK modern metal hi gain
It had to have beautiful fender like cleans
It had to be able to sound good with split coils
It had to be under 1000 all in
The mt 15 is a mystery to me how it achieves it all and is a beast, pumping closer to 25-40 watts by many opinions. I can’t beleive it but I think it might be the best modern metal /djent amp out there.
I was under budget getting the Mesa clone head ($400) and mesa clone cab ($200), so when I didn’t realize I needed a noise gate, and tube screamer to achieve the tones I was seeking (TS is not for gain whatsoever, the amp is all the gain, TS is tone sculpting only), I said ok $200 cap on that…turned out I got the fortin Zuul noise gate clone ($137) and the modern day version of the TS for modern metal and djent ($60) horizon devices precision drive clone, so I stayed under budget by $3…luckily I don’t care about fx, but in case I do, I can throw a little reverb or delay or chorus from my 25 year old boss me-30 lol
Total cost for rig - $800
I’m not going down a gear rabbit hole and I’m calling it there but I’m very happy with it.
(Only flaw seems to be a sporadic hum in fx loop due to poor grounding with wires but I’m working on mitigating it)
If you ask me man, you don’t even need a TS with this; but I didn’t want to deviate from the formula and I said hey for $60 I’ll know if it’s worth it or not…and if not, it’s the least of all the expenses in the signal chain. In fact, it was the only thing I was hesitant to pull the trigger on on this whole thing, but my buddy said, don’t think of the TS as a boost pedal but a tone sculpting pedal…and he’s right : in djent you don’t really use the gain knob, if at all.
What is your main tube amp? What others do you like. And what did you end up with in your hunt?
Let me just say if you can grab a rig like this , I totally recommend it, and go for v1; it’s better man if u ask me.
I had dual terror and as great as it sounds I wasn't happy with its limitations. I ended up with an EVH 5153 el34 50watt. I love the clean and really wanted 3 channels in the end. It has great tonal range as well as gain range which I love. Funny thing is I ended up with a Rockerverb Mk3 so I don't even use the EVH for anything but cranked awesomeness.
