  Forget the guitar sound. That snare sounds great.

  It never ceases to amaze me how many guitarists (bringing "THEIR SOUND" to the stage) fail to realise or even comprehend this notion. Great demo guys!

  This is why amps like the Vox AC30 were so popular. It sounds harsh and midrange by itself. Add the rest of the band and you can still hear it.

  This is an incredibly useful video, one which really demonstrates in an actual band context why some things work and others not so much.   We need MORE vids like this please!  Also, spend an episode on the mostly overlooked, most powerful tone-shaping pedal around:  the EQ.

  This Video is so important. It shows that it doesn't need the next pedal or guitar or amp, but to know the gear you already own and to know how to make it sound good in any context. There's so much Voodoo about guitar tone around, mostly to rip people off. There are so many variables in the signal chain (Scale, Neckprofile, Strings, Bridge, Nut, Pickups, Guitar Wiring, Cable, Pedals, Amp (Tubes, Wiring, Output....), Speaker, Mic (Model, Position) to name just a few and it is unpredictable, which of these components make a sound work and cut through. Making music is craftsmenship and you get better by taking your gear to the the test over and over again and not by changing it all year round.

  I’ll still never forget one of the first times playing live and I couldn’t hear myself at ALL! Was definitely a huge learning moment!

  I've been a victim of this due to stubbornly sticking with the tone that sounds good on its own and not tweaking it when in a band setting.  Thank you for the demonstration.

  It&apos;s always amazing when Julia makes an appearance 💖 &nbsp;And usually it&apos;s the guitar that&apos;s obnoxiously loud in a &nbsp;band, and the bass and some of the drums get lost in the mix 😂
