At one point he was just a street kid who played guitar and started modding and making pedals until he found a way to turn it into a thriving company. I personally think it makes more sense for a guy who made his money from making pedals to own rare and exclusive gear than doctors and lawyers and such. In the end none of it really affects my life, so I don't really care who owns what. I don't feel like I'm being priced out of making music because I can't afford a burst or klon because of rich weirdos.

    • @harrisfrankou2368 This is a common occurrence in guitar circles. Some players, whilst playing, will try to catch the eyes of the other person; as if they want to look into them. I'm not sure exactly what they are looking for. When I watch someone play, I am watching their hands. These players, though, who try to catch your eye, always distract me. I am trying to watch their hands, but I see that they are trying to catch my eyes. Instinctively, I then match their gaze, but they hold that gaze. I'm not sure of the intent, so I just look away awkwardly. Perhaps they are merely seeking approval of their playing, and I should just nod my affirmation when catching their gaze. But the moment just always feels so awkward. Let me watch your hands! Stop looking at me! Lol

It'd be best to check on it with a basket of commodity prices, but if you want to measure inflation, you have to have a real measure of money, i.e. changing definitions of fiat are pointless - you measure it to gold. And $140 bought 4 ounces (124g) of gold, now the same $140 would buy what, barely above 2 grams of gold. So your numbers don't represent how bad it is, it's not a deflation of 12x, it is a deflation above 50x

  • I have that exact Fender amp! I inherited it from my grandma in my teens (I’m in my 50’s now). She played an electrified accordion through it in a touring Polka band before my time. It needs a recap after all this time, which I’ll definitely do, but my appreciation for it just went up, and it was already very high from its own back story.

  • So Rock'n'Roll was the result of an accident of overdriven amps that were not meant to be overdriven like that. And Techno is the result of an accident of cheap gear that failed on the market used by kids from Detroit and Chicago not in their originally intended way. Like Derrick May said "This music is like this city, an absolute mistake". Mistakes and Accidents make for some of the greatest musical revolution in history.

    • that's how a lot of guitar techniques are found, too. Someone does something that sounds bad and then figures out a way to make it actually not bad. All it takes to turn something from wrong to right is a good application of it. There's still all kinds of new crazy sounds people are fitting into heavier music genres. Pick scrapes, pinch harmonics, extreme distortion stacking, whammy sounds, and those dissonant 2 note chords that are 1 semitone apart (don't know what they're called) are all things that seem to be getting used more and more and popped up relatively recently

    • Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.

    • The fuzz effect, too. Marty Robbins' session guitarist plugged into a broken preamp during the recording of "Don't Worry", and that exact circuit was reverse-engineered to become the Maestro FZ-1. As Josh put it in another video on Rob's channel, that completely changed the trajectory of pop music as we know.

  • I've got a 5 watt Fender Tweed Vibro-Champ with tube tremolo including a speed control, Hi and Lo output, no tone control, and a volume control. She looks very much like this amp and she does distort at anything past 5 out of 12. It was advertised as a tube amp capable of getting that tube distortion at a reasonable volume and that it certainly does. It cost $1,000 new back around 2016/2017 when I purchased her new. I do like her a lot and the longer she stays on the better she sounds. So it's best to turn her on early in the morning and by 6 p.m. I get that tone and distortion that makes my day! I can really rip and do so without destroying my hearing. That makes this amp a real gem and a winner! - Peter age 73

  • Scotty Moore (Elvis' guitarist) actually traded in his Telecaster in 1953 for a Gibson ES 295. Solid body guitars were an important advancement and all, but it's a stretch to credit them for making Elvis happen.

    @RudolfWolph@RudolfWolph7 ай бұрын

    • I was thinking the same thing when he said that. Also, Telecasters are strident. They just hurt your ears if you are in the room.

    • Elvis happened because he was Elvis. Scott Moore was playing mostly clean guitar rockabilly, not heavy metal. Scotty Moore also had a special amp set up by Sam Phillips that had a tape delay echo unit in place of the reverb.

  • I had an Atlantic Records anniversary record which had a very early blues recording from the late 1940s. The amp was heavily in distortion, and I can tell you that it sounded incredible. Ironically, I'll bet that they were freaking out that their amp was sounding so "bad", but to our ears it was a very sweet sound. Otherwise, some of the nicest distortion I've ever made myself came from a cute lil' Princeton, turned all the way up to eleven. In fact, it produced a very similar sound to that of the 1940's recording.

  • one of my very fave examples of early overdriven guitar is Barney Kessel's playing on Lew Williams' singles recorded in 1956 "Bop Bop Ba Doo Bop"/"Something I Said" and "Centipede"/"Abracadabra"... it has just a bit of breakup, nothing massive, but it still gives it an edge

  • One of the only solid body electrics available in that era was the O.W Appleton electric from 1941 which was built in the late 30s. It was the precursor to the Les Paul. Unfortunately the Appleton electric didn't get mass produced but was an exciting era for music and rock n roll. Love this content and talking about what was happening at the time and how different sounds emerged out of necessity. Awesome stuff!

    • Ironically, the solid-body lap and pedal steel guitars actually predate hollow-body guitars. The first commercially successful electric guitar was the Rickenbacker "Frying Pan" lap steel from the early 30's. The first electric spanish guitar was also made by Rickenbacker, and had a semi-solid bakelite body and bolt-on neck, but hollowbodies were much more successful before the introduction of the Esquire and Les Paul

  • Great video! Regarding when the Klon became popular, I think Kenny Wayne Shepherd had something to do with it, because he had been all about the Tube Screamer (for obvious reasons), but I think by the late 90's, he had started using a Klon. He mentioned the pedal in an interview with a major guitar magazine. There were probably others, but he was the first fairly well-known artist I heard of who was using one by that era.

Mr. Butler used amp distortion like saxophone players used growl, and the effect was taken over by people who have never heard saxophone players.

  • I read a great book about Buddy Holly and apparently he used a Deluxe in the studio but was never allowed to turn it up to the point of distortion on the recordings. For live shows, he needed more volume so he played through a Bassman and cranked it all the way up. The only real live recordings of Buddy are TV appearances where he again wasn’t allowed to turn up too loud so one time I played some Buddy Holly songs on a ‘50s Stratocaster through a tweed Bassman cranked and it sounded AWESOME! It’s a shame that live recordings were practically nonexistent back then.
