Producer Adam Odor Demonstrates the O-Port

[faustomadebr]

Honestly... I prefer the guitar without the O-Port; much more natural... NATURAL, its important.

[doowopdiddler]

seriously. if you put about2-3 cups of pebbles in your guitar it adds natural reverb reflection. You can carefully move them around to suit your guitar and then record with a new sound. People who don't have easy access to quality rocks can still simulate the effect by shifting to a different tonal position with their right hand.

what´s up with the drinking? LMAO and the fat chick playing the guitar is weird... so bizarre... XD

[smgman13]

I'm sorry but I think it makes expensive guitars sound worse..it took that rich bassy sound out. :(

[smgman13]

@smgman13 or it could be you guys CHANGED THE TUNING and there is less bass with a higher pitched tuning. epic fail

[extremeguitarshredr]

oh i see! it makes the tuning a half step higher!

-_-

WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE JUST GIVE US A DEMO OF BEFORE AND AFTER ON THE SAME GUITAR, THE SAME TUNING, THE SAME STRINGS!!! GOSH!

[NicholasGreen91]

Thats stupid.... Obviously the first take sounds a little muddy and lacking because its in a lower tuning. E-standard naturally sounds brighter because strings are usually gauged perfectly to sound best in that tuning. Also, I don't hear much of a tone difference. If the bass is boosted, who cares? Usually a lot of the bass from acoustic guitar is cut from the mix for the sake of other instruments.

there probably so drunk from the wine, that they cant even tell.

Better without it.  The O-port strips the guitar of its character. And of course endorsers of this product thinks its a "winner." The loser here is guitar makers. A Gibson guitar does not sound good enough without a round funnel shaped peice of plastic. Give me a break!

[cybercathk]

Didn't help that the 'without' part guitar's tuned down a semi-tone, whereas the "with" it's at concert pitch. Perhaps they should've held off the plonk till they'd done.

IMHO it sounded warmer/richer without the O-Port, a bit cleaner/clearer with it fitted - I preferred without.

I have one in my Gibson 'Roy Smeck' (mainly to help deal with feedback & protect edge of the soundhole). It gives a deeper/tighter bass, not too bright. Mine sounds better with the O-port. Very glad I tried one.

[AbrahamVanHasselhoff]

Will this thing work on a nylon string?

[Daikaiju]

@AbrahamVanHasselhoff - I play classical guitar, and I see no videos posted of anyone trying an o-port in one. So, I ordered one and I will be posting my own video soon. I'll try it both on my Ramirez and Cordoba.

[eternalrhythmflow]

 I have an O-Port in my Jasmine s34c but I liked your guitar WITHOUT the O-Port better. I may take mine out and listen to it again. I forgot what it sounds like without it. It may totally depend on the guitar it's installed in.

0:37 and 1:18 if you wanna fast reference

[TheWakeUpCallMan]

Sounds Better Without!

[chad174670]

It sounds more clean but it sounds less natural and almost muffled to me. No better or worse, just different.

Do you want demented guitar fools heaping abuse on your heads because you know that they will do it?.....J200 indeed!
