I think they call that G chord the jimmy page G chord, cheater G
Comment from : @infiniteandroid

This is probably more important than any pedal or amp demo I've ever seen!!!
Comment from : @d3w4yn3

I've used the same amp for years in a classic rock band, pretty much like an old dependable pickup truck
Comment from : @rokguitarstar

My first band in the 80,s I had a guitar a chord and an amp KISS
Comment from : @dennisweis6003

Great video, very kool guitar I always hated the hot rod series, i tried them all and gain channels are horrible
Comment from : @juliochingaling5824

Wish u demo a little bit cheaper amp, some like me can't afford $400 amp
Comment from : @tarared7668

Whaaat!? I remember you from The National Guitar Workshop in Connecticut 🤣 You’re awesome!👏🏼
Comment from : @vicharelly

You should dial the amp in on the neck pickup, that way it won't sound flubby, because you can always dial down tone with the guitar but it's impossible to add tone
Comment from : @JoeMasse-e4b

Your "not too bright" sounded like an icepick into my ears 😏
Comment from : @LouisA-q3r

I have a question, why sometimes the amp sounds good in the even mic’ed with the sound coming out of the PA sounds good but recorded (hearing in other monitors or headphone ) it sounds too harsh, thin and lacking gain?
Comment from : @Renato_Cara

Hello, why did you put your guitar in input 2 And not in input 1 It is a completely different sound? Greetings Marnik my English is not so good hopefully I formulated it well
Comment from : @marnikbulckaert4186

Nice to see some different thoughts on making your tone ,work for you brThanks
Comment from : @the1jamman

I just turn everything up to '11' Works for me
Comment from : @TimothyFuller-d7o

I disagree You aren’t driving your preamp stage enough I do exactly the opposite Peg all tone controls to 10, and roll off what you don’t want If you have a cut control, start there
Comment from : @guitpicky

It doesn't go to 11?
Comment from : @blakefield4059

Wow, how insightful dialing in an amp, who would have thought?
Comment from : @bivotarshamble3672

one must be dump not being able to dial in and setup the amp But ok some seem to be and need help
Comment from : @phil36310

That G Chord he played in the video is officially called G(no3rd)
Comment from : @gtrguy17

Hot rod deluxe one of the most gig worthy amps for a great price They kick ass
Comment from : @seanstump3960

Get a tech to make a bias adjustment for power tubes on the Hot Rod…So it doesn’t catch fire Same for Blues Jr
Comment from : @stuffnuns

If I could play like that I'd never leave the housebrbrbr😀
Comment from : @georgem5589

Great video brAppreciate you taking the time and effort to share your knowledge and skills with us
Comment from : @rickwells5624

Bass leave that for the drums
Comment from : @LuminousSoliloquy

Lol, you need two amps here with line out or a a/b switch Top amp is a normally guitar amp, dial it in with little bass around 2 or 3 The bottom amp is a normal bass amp, dial it in but cut the treble down to 2 or 3! Get a good clean tone, now hook up your peddles, you will have a killer tone! No rocket science here but loads of fun!
Comment from : @wesleysnipes9454

Yup, I usually find sweet spot of a new amp like that Live I will reduce bass and treble, compared to home I always have an always on pedal in front of my clean amp to create edge of breakup and some compression/sag when I dig in In my case the combo is a REVV D25 with WGS Two Rock speaker (don’t like V30 high end fizzle) It’s incredible My always on is the ODD Pedal (OCD clone) On my HSS I can go from cleanish to nice driven without touching the board
Comment from : @bruunm1975

So just play a guitar through an amp? It's almost as though people haven't been doing this since the 40s
Comment from : @chrisbannister3115

Excellent advice from Eddie Berman at SoundPure here in Durham as each guitar & each amp have different sweet spots & sonically are very different!
Comment from : @fourthofseven

Ka-knobs?😮
Comment from : @TomSarracino

Good stuff!
Comment from : @rb032682

I honestly think this was not useful at allbrPlus the clean tone would sound good to you in a bedroom level, but in a small show or probably even mic'ed, there's a lot of low end in there and it would not sound good live You won't be heard, it cant just cut through properly
Comment from : @DominiqueWillkins

Would the process be the same if the only thing I can play is palm muted open strings on my 7-string guitar tuned in drop G? Asking for a friend…
Comment from : @jb7544

That Heritage sounds amazing
Comment from : @fmarkow

Who cares about a clean channel ? They all sound the same
Comment from : @AJ99

Nice recap at the end, in this case it ended up near center but every amp won’t give you this - better safe…
Comment from : @GS-uy4xo

Dime everything It's the way of the rock star
Comment from : @unclebob4208

Crazy
Comment from : @riffcodger

Is there another way to adjust the tone? What is the secret? What is the trick? I am sure everyone do the same thing I couldn't understand what is the point
Comment from : @barskuleli8612

Looks like you use the G & D strings to set up the sound which is a good idea Also, using the bridge p/u as well Makes sense!
Comment from : @JRandHisGuitar

That guitar is on my radar
Comment from : @rickflippin1

Well I gotta say, that was the nicest clean jazz tone, especially your neck pickup stuff, that I've heard on YouTube since I don't know when Makes we wish I'd kept my old ES-345 too
Comment from : @MystTeriGuitar

here's the trick I use, and it never fails forget all those other amps and get a Marshall
Comment from : @RobertPowell-d9x

What does "turn the knobs wide open" mean?
Comment from : @cesarpalmos8235

What is “presence”?
Comment from : @dukeofearl4117

Les Paul quote after 50 years I have an amp that let's the true sound of my guitar come out the JAZZKAT
Comment from : @martinabbate3599

I love this! I am a guitar player who writes songs nkt that often as i used to do❤
Comment from : @tomusic8887

Zuviel Gerede
Comment from : @ButscheSchmidt

That was awesome, I would have had no idea, excellent presentation
Comment from : @darrenparkes9805

I used a $100 Squier USB straight into my laptop and got killer tone by pretending the plugins were real amps and pedals
Comment from : @brooklynsoundgarage

I'm pretty sure you that you had great tone when I saw you jamming back in the day at the secret port city amps gig
Comment from : @Truthinshredding1

So the trick is - fiddle with the knobs until you think it sounds good?
Comment from : @Rick-5728

Thanks Danial for simple explanation on finding your guitar and or amp sound! I enjoyed that your lesson was brief, to the point and filled with common sense br I do have a desperate question which I don’t know if you could help me out Over the last year of my life my race with arthritis has finally caught up with me and I’m having an extreme amount of difficulty soloing as well as making chords I need to find another approach for playing my beloved instrument, but it’s been frustrating and demoralising My once five finger spread is relegated to only three frets as my fingers become twisted and numb br Most guitar videos are centred around young players, speed and establish patterns, but tend to overlook the ageing player and their limitations,, yes we’re all headed there one day When playing chords if possible I would love to have a fuller sound using simpler chord forms I don’t know if this makes any sense, most YouTuber’s anyway just ignore my plea, but any help would be appreciated

Comment from : @muleblues71

Not sure what Fender Tone stack circuit is actually used in the Hot Rod Deluxe but folks t the treble knob doesn't "boost treble like you would think
Comment from : @stephancarroll7260

Hot Rod Deluxe is an excellent amp I bought one in 1997 and the amp is still in regular use
Comment from : @TheFretwrecker

Maybe this is for the person who just bought they're first amp , I would have expected anyone playing longer than 3 days would have figured this out
Comment from : @GTguitarworks

Many thanks for your efforts and help with this information ❤
Comment from : @jockster5525

The Fender Hotrod Deluxe is a pretty good sounding amp I was pretty surprised the first time I used one
Comment from : @Rocksoup77

Good content Thanks for the tips
Comment from : @MichaelHios

That was a good 10 min investment! I agree, the hot channel on that amp suxlol brI have always started my amp eq settings at noon, and bring the volume up to the venue level and tweak from there I’m gonna try your “bring it up from the bottom” approach I have a feeling that might help “read the room” a little better sonically brFantastic tone you were getting…very sweetbrThanks for posting
Comment from : @bigl6322

Hi, just found your video today and wow was it helpful Loved the way you explain and demo everything Simple and to the point Can't wait to get home and try this I am using a fender Blues Jr IV An a Gamma G50 which I really like, it a simple no frills 2 Channel amp with 3-knob eq Bass Mids Treble I am definitely going to subscribe to your channel and give this video a like
Comment from : @blazemoyer

why you use the input 2 and not the input 1?
Comment from : @fer_mnss

Great videoWish I saw it sooner When do you address gain?
Comment from : @ajphotoltd

Thanks man, this really simplifies things, cause tone can be a bitch to chase Cheers!
Comment from : @alexsafronov1417

I think every guitar players ideal tone is what they hear in their head No one should sound the same, unless they want to sound or mimic, copycat their favorite band or guitarist
Comment from : @jasonhammond6592

"That second channel is a no go" I like this guy's delivery Funny, but gets the idea across with casual authority
Comment from : @jayeye4798

I remember Matt Schofield doing the same on a That Pedal Show episode a while back, good tips
Comment from : @MiniForklift

The second channel is great You just have to have the volume past 3, which is for most home players way too loud If you're doing a video on how to get the best sound from your amp, getting the best sound from the second channel is what you should have done?
Comment from : @darrenc8776

Amazing Video !! Thanks for creating this and sharing it Hope you're doing well 🎸
Comment from : @RikJSmith

Good video…for rockers, turn the freakn gain down, gain is not tone, quite the opposite,…for super heavy metal, death metal, grindcore, nu metal, down tuned etc…there’s no hope,…to play that you must, and will, have a shit tone
Comment from : @jakelee7639

Hi Daniel! What do you do this method with the bridge pickup ? brbrI use the neck pickup 90 of the time , why should we start with the bridge one?brbrThanks!!brLeo
Comment from : @leogeller3662

Very nice, thanks for this Amazing how much difference a small tweek can make! :-)
Comment from : @oldbluesboy

Totally wrong Bass at 3:00, treble at 2:00, mids at 9:00 Presence at 2:00 or 3:00 if you have it Through a compressor, an overdrive, and an analog delay pedal
Comment from : @mojolightnin6846

I feel like you could have just said "Start with a clean sound and all your EQ knobs on 0 Bring in each EQ knob one at a time until they all sound good together The end
Comment from : @halholbrookspussy

I would love to see you revisit this video with an amp that is a true clunker like a Peavy revolution for example I have one and i cant find a good tone from it Its all volume and no nuance Hopefully you'll except my challenge
Comment from : @stevenpipes1555

Great video brother
Comment from : @michaelfink1017

I know Eddie Berman, and even though I have not seen him for probably 30 years, I do know him as a wonderful person and an outstanding guitarist and absolute tone mistro
Comment from : @josephlynn5655

Great video, very helpful
Comment from : @JohnRussomJr

i wish i knew as well :) but thank yoıu very very much, 1 is better than 0 , thanks to you,i know this now
Comment from : @mumintanrover4885

Also those fenders can be modified easy with resistor kit and other electronic upgrades I’ve done it for my hot rod Deville
Comment from : @benbonesalive

I didn't know Ruxin played guitar!!
Comment from : @ChrisandDanielMusic

You need the reverb brFoot switch to shut it off
Comment from : @benbonesalive

I recommend stating with the neck pickup as it tends to be booomier compared to the bridge pickup You can always roll back the tone on the bridge pickup to optimize the treble
Comment from : @guitarman430

Thanks for the guidance!
Comment from : @Mike_Ums

Dude that recap at the end was genious You probably knew we would be picking on the guitar while watching and missing most of it Instant sub!!! Great playing guy
Comment from : @joelsmith4816

I used to be afraid of mids but every bit of kit and gear needs its own tweaks which we need to develop our own ears for 😂😂 sounds great !!! 🤟🤟
