Wow, pretty amazing playing. He seems to be playing pretty loud and it's overloading the camera's mic at times? But that little amp sounds pretty amazing. The tone of the strat comes right through.
Michael McHenry! my fav local musician. i was on the hello music site looking at this amp and there he is. great classic rock/blues/soul/funk player from Annapolis, MD
I just want to say that I love your playing dude! proves that one can play with emotion and speed. listen up some of you high gain attitude kids if you can play with that much control then your shredding will sound truly wicked:) Michael your music is from the heart and thats what music should be all about. Thanks for the vid.
@odomi121 it also could be from the gain not being turned up enough on the amp.
The manual recommends a gain setting of at least 50% to get rid of buzz. You can still get a clean tone even with the gain at 50 though it you play with the knobs on your guitar (which is what he shows)
Oh ! There are so many things that can cause such recognisable hum :
Some nasty cheap square transformer in the room ... halogen lights ... and so on.
It's probably the 1st things you fight against when starting a recording studio for instance. You know, clean power supply, phase the earth, and all the rest ...
@StarHill02 I play for a small Worship team as well. But the church I attend is a nice size. After all the info I read on this amp. I believe it should fit your needs quite nicely. Check out the ZT Club amp. It just has a but speaker with alittle more features.
@DanteWhite you obviously have very limited knowledge of tone, so here: he's using a slight overdrive, while maintaining a fairly clean tone. I heard no "distorcion", or as it's correctly spelled, distortion. Also, what does wattage have to do with with effect pedal compatability? Better try more listening and less talking, maybe next time you won't look like such a fucktard.
@mcneely2818 what i meant is that the overdrive is not good and that when you want to play music like metal this amp is not good but i have a distortion pedal and that fixes that problem i mentioned wattage because the amp with that much wattage is worth buying at the price its at. also i said distorcion intstead of distortion because in spanish you say distorcion and english is not my first language so my bad
Nice demo and cool picking! My first thought... Hmm, the ZT looks a lot like that heat vent and could probably be built-into the wall there. Second,.. what happened to the left side at about 1:10? Everything went to the right speaker and the volume was cut in half. Third, I have scars behind the bridge on my black strat too. Double-sided tape held a MIDI thingie there sometime in the past? Thanks for a good picture of what the ZT can do on some smooth clean stuff.
Give Mayer some credit, you may or may not like his music (I do, personally) but the motherfucker can PLAY. I don't know any serious guitar players who deny that Mayer is one of the best modern players, up there with Warren Heynes, Derek Trucks, John Frusciante, etc .. although the guy from Umphrey's McGee fucks most of them up, in my opinion.
yeah, totally agree, i personally don`t really think that he`s that great of a songwriter, but he`s hilarious, cool, and he can play blues as good as anyone out there today
I like your style playing.

hum got pretty noticeable when the volume was increased...

@55KatDaddy The hum probably comes from the single coil pickup, not the amp.

Would this amp be too loud for a small Worship Team in a small Church?
I have a Marshall MG15DFX and it's plenty loud....
Thanks!
