pignose amp and squier 51 guitar demo

[boom122808]

00:00 to 1:15 relating this radio of the 1880...but...i like this tone

[yogdogz17]

crossroad movie amps!

I got my Pignose when I was about 12 years old and love it. I have many different guitars and find that more expensive instruments don't necessarily make it sound "better". The Pignose may not sound good to some people but it is what it is and I for one find it great for when I'm relaxing on the couch and such. The best thing for me is that it improves practice time by allowing me to play more often and practice time is what I think makes a guitarist better.

[detelektriskeudenfor]

Why do you talk so much in USA? Just play.

[detelektriskeudenfor]

Why are you americans allways talking so much on your demos. All of you. Just play, We have ears in Europe.

[teleman55]

You may have noticed an inherent flaw design in the '51 in which the screws that adjust the intonation of the bridge cut into some of the strings and eventually break them. A freind has a guitar shop and he corrected with a different bridge and made it through-the-body stringing - it gives it more sustain and cured the breakage . He added a tone control to his. Both of our guitars sound great - I'm using mine in a show coming up the end of August.

u tlk 2 much

[stevenmaher1]

I have to say I know its extremely cheap and for that reason I shouldn't expect too much but to me it doesn't really sound that great and I dont really get where all the hype comes from. Although I would like to hear it with a nice strat like a JM Strat or SRV

[waynebootcher]

@stevenmaher1 - I haven't found that a better guitar makes this amp sound 'better'. It is distinctive and quirky and that's it charm. I should do a follow up video with a good guitar, recorded though a good mic.

[stevenmaher1]

@waynebootcher - Yeah that would be great! Thanks

[zbaby82]

Nice! Kind of late 60s sounding.

[lamonstcroix]

Thats a realy badass little amp

[RedSecodaMusicMYS]

I got mine for 5 quid today and didnt think it would work as a result, but hey it did and it rocks. will be recording with it soon im sure. I would have paid alot more if i knew it workeD! Highly recommend.

As for squires, I still play my Silver series and love it. changed the pickups here n there but been through alot more costly guitars but always come back to it. They are not all bad.

[PhilipDick2008]

buy a roland micro cube

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Does a Roland Micro Cube have a cute pig nose? No! So there!

[JoeChrisMorris]

I have one of these

I can play my electric g with it, but when I plug it into the amp, I have to pull the chord to the side where its plugged in to the guitar, to get a sound thru the amp

any thoughts? the amp is fine

[redrocker1055]

Did you try a different cord? Sounds like your cord has a dead spot!

If that's not it, I'd change the jack on the amp!

or it could be your jack on the guitar or simply a dirty/faulty volume pot!

Whatever it is it's not hard to fix and there all cheap. You can probably get all the parts from StewMac for under $20... Good Luck!

[softballkpab13]

i gots a question i am lookin at buyin one of those

is it worth the money

how much

does it run on a cord to the wall or bateries

[samuelmichaud]

Might be both. Or just batteries.

I know it runs on batteries.

[JoeChrisMorris]

you can buy a chord to plug into an outlet for $10

[redrocker1055]

These little bastard, rock... I have an original '73 that I've had since I was 12. It had been well played before I got my hands on it, and I played it for at least 2 hours a day for three years straight and it still works great when I turn it on!

Side not, I went to Guitar Center to buy one for my 8 year old nephew and when I asked the kid behind the counter, he looked at be like I asked him to solve world hunger... He had no clue of what I was talking about.... Disgraceful!

[musiccalgary]

Shutup and play. You talk TOO MUCH.

[jbrianfehr]

up grade the electronics on all 3 and you will be stoked....

[rlta04]

There are ALOT better sounding battery powered small battery amplifiers out there these days.The little pignose looks cooler than the others,but other than that,its much to be desired for sound/performance

[jbrianfehr]

that's the 51 making it sound like that..cheap

[SlipKnot666MFKR]

could u strap this on ur belt

[handen]

yeah, it actually has strap buttons

[billbobkid2]

has it got a gain tone?

[Me7aLfAn]

Your guitar is so not it tune ...

[hooptyndablowfish]

I get so sick of these goddamned psychotic dickheads making the comment on EVERY video that the guitar is out of tune. They wouldn't know a tuned guitar if you smashed it over their pin sized head.

[softballkpab13]

totally

[monkeykingrecords]

thanks for the demo!

[Hepnotic]

it sounds pretty crappy. who cares if it was dirt cheap? that kind of tone is kind of discouraging.

[waynebootcher]

Yeah...I guess everyone should wait to play an electric guitar until they can buy a John Mayer signature Stratocaster and a Dr Z Maz-18 Junior - I don't know what I was thinking!

[gibshall]

nicely said

[jayrobb9]

Damn right!

I own a Squier Affinity Tele, a Squier Jagmaster, and a 51, and I am very happy with the 51 and the Tele, not so happy with the Jagmaster. Muddy and flat.

Gonna try and trade it for a Hot Rails strat...

[mobile513]

GFS Pickups dude, look it up.

[Allan500]

You didn't mention it, but there is tone control by opening and closing the amp.

[CaptainStack89]

Make sure you're tuned up before next time!

Otherwise interesting video.

[Dillan524]

do u think if i open mine up i could use it as a bass amp

[waynebootcher]

Not really. We tried it with ours and it makes the bass sound fuzzy with no definition. And not a cool fuzzy tone but just buzzy at all but the most barely audible volumes. Unfortunately bass players need to spend a bit more to get something that sounds decent.

[ShardedFire]

how in hell did you get that for $25?!!

[waynebootcher]

It was heavily used, and the seller didn't want it anymore. I haven't seen any used on Ebay that cheap in the last few years.

[jonwon17]

i think i bought mine new for like $130 :S

[tommacfie]

So basically the amp has a in-built pre-amp drive which you control with your guitar volume? I reckon that'd sound sick with a Tube Screamer. Nice tones dude!

[mhwillson]

squiers suck cool amp though

[LeviMan2001]

the strats and teles may, but this 51' deal it realy good.

[PooPoo2U]

the amp is great, but throw that piece of crap squire away. my friend has the same one, and the selector and coil tap will go out fast.

[frankenstrat2]

probably the best squire made since the 80's

[mkutz007]

yeah....  probably. but its still a squire. I advise against them always. Id rather a mexican standard any day if given the choice. The guy above me a little is right about the selector.

[inricheetos]

Does that thing have a 6" speaker?

[waynebootcher]

It's a 5" speaker!

[rlta04]

I just picked up a new pignose.Always wanted one.Now I got one!I paid full price though.I also have expensive guitars.

[teofaouaz]

Pignose 7-100 rocks! Great tone!

How much did you pay for the buzz?

Lol...

[acdc126]

here in canada you will pay twice that price for only one of that items, used.

[wallis222]

seriously eh... We pay on average 30% more for the same thing except in the US. Even things that are made in Canada. Sometimes our government is just as bad as the Bush government.

[megadookie]

i think the text across the screen contributed to that great tone. how much did you pay for that text?

[digitaltopia]

Good stuff. I think that shirt really adds to the organic sound of everything. How much did you pay for that shirt?

[Billabyte]

that pignose and that Squier sound superb considering you spent less than $100

if only all rigs could sound that good for so little

now I have two very expensive guitars and an incredible modeling amp but let me tell you

that rig you have is a hell of a lot more bang for your buck.That is a very unusual guitar

it kinda looks like somebody took a p bass body + controls and put on a tele neck by mistake then added a humbucker to fill in that pbass cavity has Never seen anything like it

[darwinator12932112]

how much did you pay for the stickers?

[myfavoritevideoclip]

How much did you pay for the chair?

[waynebootcher]

lol - The chair was $5 at a church flea market.

[myfavoritevideoclip]

I think it really adds to the woody tone you're getting there. That's some heavy duty stuff there man.
