Rice Rocket Asian Plays Marshall Vintage Modern

[stratcat70]

dude you,re insanely awesome,, you,re vm tone just peeled the paint off my wall,s,,, im a huge fan,,,make an album i,ll BUY IT.....great playing too!

[ozzyfan1995]

is it to loud for in a room with just normal walls and neighbours?

and with a 2x12 combo???

[GATvsGAT]

@ozzyfan1995

Loud is a relative term. The 2x12 should be plenty loud. Keep the volume around 1 and your neighbours shouldn't mind too much....

[GuitarzFromMarz]

is that a jcm 2000 behind you?

[GATvsGAT]

@GuitarzFromMarz

Yup. Don't have it anymore though. Cool amp but didn't really like it. Something about that rough trebly edge that is present all the new Marshalls

[XSweeneyToddX]

used any overdrive pedal or just the amp?

what were the settings on body and detail?

great playing

[tatsandteles]

Nice tone, and your intro/delivery are as smooth as your playing. ROCK!!!!!!!!!

[GATvsGAT]

@tatsandteles

Cheers dude! 

[jpalmerer]

great song selection. thanx for the video

[1FISHEY]

KEEP ON SHREEDING PAL

[Dizzleskateyo]

OMG and asian with and english accent

[ffbai]

Dream Theater!!! Not the easiest to play..... but you did very well.

[wurlytone]

really sounds good

[tjsr21]

dammit, i want a rig of doom...

[GATvsGAT]

Ha you already own a fraction of my Rig of Doom as you have a Taylor Big Baby just like me! Great guitar that one

[tjsr21]

On my way then i guess. Thanks for your comment on my video, unfortunately i removed it instead of replying... fail... but i did appreciate it for the 5 seconds before i erased it from history... Sorry :(

Your playing is fantastic btw, not just fast but imaginative, which in my book is what counts.

[malmsteen80]

whats the diff between marshall vint modern head cab and the same marshall but combo????

is it the punch or what??

[GATvsGAT]

I'm using a standard Marshall1960A JCM 900 cabinet in this video. This comes with some 75 watt Celestions. I believe that the vint mod combos and speaker cabinets come with vintage voiced Celestions (possibly Greenbacks but I'm not sure). I no longer own this speaker cabinet and got me a Mesa 2x12 Rectifier cabinet. Nothing wrong with a combo vint mod either. My fav guitarist in the whole world Mr Paul Gilbert uses a vint mod combo and he sounds awesome.

[DarkVelizar]

0:16 Damn Right!

[donkekis]

1:57 great riff!!!

[CiarnC81]

Ur mom must really luv u!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

[redstripe41j]

first off great playing.... secondly I was wondering what kind of speakers your cab is rockin and what are your settings?

[GATvsGAT]

Hi hi

My cabinets in this vid are loaded with stock speakers. The Laney has a quartet of Celestion Rocket 50s and the Marshall has a set of Celestion 75 watters the type that come in a 1960A JCM 900 cab). Ive now sold these cabs and using a custom purple Mesa Recto 2x12 which just sounds amazing!

[Mk6crew06]

good sound... ;) What have you in your pedalboard?? Congrats.... =D

[GATvsGAT]

I have a bunch of delays, a wah and a phaser. Thats it.

The most key effects. Nothing more. Nothing less.

[RomanSidorov]

love the looping bit where you start to play some music

[bigmachine]

dude , answer me this !!! ok

1 - Is that the vintage modern ditortion (from the amp)

2 - if it is the amp`s distortion, how did you get it ? (by setting the bias pretty high)

[GATvsGAT]

Hello Mr Bigmachine

I am using a power attenuator to achieve this level of gain from the Vintage Modern. This allows me to crank the amp really high so that the power amp is singing on all cylinders while still being able to achieve neighborhood friendly volumes.

If you don't have a power attenuator you can always use a devent overdrive pedal on the front end and get similar results.

[whilel0l]

I Love that sound!! And awesome playing too! Keep it up.

[GATvsGAT]

Thanks dude!

I like your tone too!!

[5150VanAlien]

Hey Man,

Actually married and have two kids, but I have a very patient wife and both my kids love it when I play to Dream Evil's Children of the Night.

I like the Vintage Modern...however the pensioners in my street don't like me cranking it. Sometimes they throw their dentures over the fence in anger.

I'm an Aussie guy living in the UK and our street is filled with the newly wed and the nearly dead...

Keep rockin'

[GATvsGAT]

Hey hey

You're one lucky man to have a wife and family like that.

The idea of throwing dentures over the fence has got to be one of the funniest things I've heard of!

Keep waking the Dead with that VM!!

[5150VanAlien]

Bro

I gather you're not married that's why you have heaps of awesome gear...

I've just bought the JVM205H and love it. I also use an ENGL Fireball and that is evil defiled...

Ciao

[GATvsGAT]

Hey dude

I take you're not married either considering your exquisite taste in musical gear.

Thanks for watching my vid. Those ENGLs are very nice amps. I'm currently using a Mesa Mark III slaved into a Recto and that is eviler than Satans Farts.

[malmsteen80]

man you re so fuckin gr8

whats this song you were soloing on in the middle...the chords kept repeating and u played a solo

whats the name of this ?

[GATvsGAT]

Hey thanks dude!!

The song in the middle is an original piece called "Gothic Love Song" (GLS).

I'm very happy that you like it cos I like it too!!

[drewpontow]

do i hear dream theater? haha sweet sound you got some crazy amps.

[GATvsGAT]

Right you are

Erotomania on a VM of all things!!

Just goes to show you don't have play that kind of stuff through a conventional high gain amp

[peenuswrinkle]

Dude I finally stereoed the Jcm 800 and The Vintage Modern its prettty interesting like you said its got that VM thickness in tone and that Midrange sexiness of that JCM 800..Plus by the way your a kickass guitar player too...Want to post vids on my youtube but my computer is kinda acting up ..=( thats the only way I could let you hear it sighs fucken gay PC lol

[GATvsGAT]

Cool man.

I bet it sounds absolutely awesome!

Be great to hear it on here someday!

[peenuswrinkle]

Yeah I hope so I really go on youtube as much or havent like pimp out my page or something lol just love watching vids of guitarist or hear different amps lol...

[peenuswrinkle]

I have a Jcm 800 2203 reissue I want to stereo it with a vintage Modern how you think how would that sound ?

I also watched your other vid your a pretty good player I like that you dont take your self serious lol..

[GATvsGAT]

I reckon hooking up amps in stereo is the ultimate in tool in tonal diversity aye. I like the idea of hooking up 2 amps that sound fairly different from eachother and together produce a sound that is totally unique. Your JCM 800 and your VM together should sound awesome!! Let me know how it gets on.

[JPMike]

pro stuff!! keep up!! :D

[JJLipton]

This is kinda promoting racism man..

[GATvsGAT]

What more can I say... I like rice. And I'm Asian and proud of it.

[ryanthepinkhorse]

i love ur sound..

[GATvsGAT]

thanks man. I like it too.... sometimes anyway... I think I'm still searching for that elusive tone in my mind.

[DimeMan123]

That is a beautiful guitar.

[GATvsGAT]

Quirky color too!

[DimeMan123]

Indeed! Very nice acquisition!

[GATvsGAT]

Musicmans are very nice guitars to play. They still haven't quite yet become mass market instruments and still have a somewhat personal feel to them.

[boozeye66]

sing the song i eat sushi on a sushi boat

[GATvsGAT]

Mmmmm Sushi.

[ssscandalo]

es tan fea la guitarra como tu,por otra parte el vintage modern es cojonudo tron

[229Mafia]

Lawl!

[boomy3241]

wat guitar?

[GATvsGAT]

Its a Musicman Axis.. my fav guitar.

[amarr1]

he is no bum. tu eres basura

[GATvsGAT]

If you're going to be mean do it in english

[Birdbomb88]

what kind of guitar is that?

[GATvsGAT]

Its a Musicman Axis

[GuitarGuruLessons]

What is Bi-amping and how does it work?

[GATvsGAT]

basically running 2 amps simultaneously. For example slaving the preamp of one amp to the power amp of another amp is a form of biamping which ultimately creates more interesting character. Eg if I slaved the preamp of my Recto into the power section of my Marshall Vintage Modern, it has the gain and crunch of the recto but the smooth roundness of the VM.

[bradpittsego]

how would you say the ultra 60 holds on its own? cause im looking to buy one

[GATvsGAT]

The Ultra 60 is a great amp! Very high gain lead channel which can be toggled between a fatter smoother sound or a hot super high gain more trebly sound. Go get one!!

[Travelershockey5]

Kickass dude!!! Your playing is very clean. Erotomania was AWESOME!

[GATvsGAT]

I'm surprised by the clean comment. Thanks a bunch!

Dream Theater RULZ!!

[ESP4thaWin]

Dude, you must be really rich.

[sdmf1982]

Dude, you've got a seriously sweet tone from that amp. I'm looking into getting a tube combo at the mo and had my eye on the vintage modern. You managed to get the perfect level of gain from it for what I would need. Are you using an overdrive pedal as a boost or is that the natural tone? I had a very quick test of one with a les paul last year and liked what I heard. Gonna be using an Ibanez S470 with it though (If I buy it that is)

Oh yeah, sweet playing dude! Rock on :)

[GATvsGAT]

Greetings

Cheers for the praise!!

In this video I am running a power attenuator between the VM head and the cab. This device allows me to totally crank the amp up and achieve high levels of gain at a neighborhood friendly volume. I am also biamping the signal from the VM preamp into the Peavey head above it via a splitter box. However straight into the amp, it also sounds great!! A very organic amp and even if you don't use it the way I do, it works fine with any good OD boost pedal. RK ON!!

[sdmf1982]

Nice one, mate. Thanks for the info, much appreciated :)

[GATvsGAT]

Another very inspirational statement!

you're too right about people getting on here and being over critical. I think we really are lucky to have this avenue to express ourselves freely.

I will endeavor to keep posting more original material.

And yes you are right. It is all about the passion of playing.

Once again, thanks and please stay tuned to this channel.

PS if you liked my vids, please take a peak at videos by badacidbadacid as there are two full blown orignals.

[GATvsGAT]

Wow that is the most inspiring thing I've heard in a long time! You're too kind!!

Thanks for watching my vid and taking the time to comment on it.

Keep shreddin!!!!

[Drope934]

I can find one for 900€ (almost 1400$ US), do you think it's a good deal? I play a lot of metal but also some rock, hard rock. I've got an ESP Eclipse with EMG pickups and i want a modern sound for my groupe and à mor "classique" sound for myself. Can i have it with the amp if i dont use another head like you or other boosts?

by the way, i love waht do you play whith the looper, so great!

[GATvsGAT]

Hey wassup!

Your best bet is to go to a shop, roll up your sleeves and try it out!! You'll either love it or hate it. I think the amp is great for controlling your tone from the volume of your guitar. Not great for playing highly progressive music with the need for super clean to super dirty. More of an organic sound. It sounds like you need a very versatile amp. Try a Marshall DSL or JVM as well. Might be more to your liking if you want to cover both modern and classic tones.

[Maharrol]

I saw you comment knocking the blues players of this amp and your invitation to come see you "shred". Although, your playing is not bad. shredding it is not. Shredders would not let you in their club. tone not great either. must just be a camera mic. With all that gear I am sure it sounds better in person.

[GATvsGAT]

Who said anything about knocking blues players? I love the blues! If you read the comment again, I actually complement the vid but merely notice that VM vids on Youtube seem to be guys playing blues rock. Yes the Marshall marketing guys have flagged it as a great 70s blues rock amp (which it is)I just wanted to show that the amp is also great for non blues based music and can compete with them Rectos etc. As for the shredders club, are you the shred club chairman cos I really wanna join!!

[Drope934]

Thx for the answer! i'll try to paly with it at the shop, after my exams! I've seen a cool Brunetti head (don't know if you know this kind of amp). It's an Italian handmade amp with el34 and 6l6 valves and you can mixe boths, it's kinkda cool and has a lot of gain too. Hard to find your "right" sound...

[GATvsGAT]

I've never heard of Brunetti. Then again I live in New Zealand and we don't get the more obscure brands. If this Italian amp is anything like an Italian sports car I'm sure it'll be a winner!

[Drope934]

Do you know the car brand Ferrari? It's made in the same city xD

[eveguitars]

Thanks, your clips have made my mind up about getting a vintage modern. I having one!

[GATvsGAT]

Oh yeah!! Great amp!!

[kirkthelad]

That was amazing! What were the songs when u had two guitars playing? And how did u get the second one to play? Is it a pedal?

[GATvsGAT]

Greetings

The song with the "two" guitars playing is a bastardised excerpt of and original piece by my old band that we called "The Gothic Love Song" which I aptly called "The Gothic Love Interlude" for this video. Very stoked that you like it!

As for the dual guitars, yes it was done using a Boss DD20 Giga Delay on SOS mode which allows one to sample 23 seconds of your own playing in a loop. Very cool feature.

Keep rocking!

[kirkthelad]

Sweet i might invest in one of these pedals in the near future.. yeah your original is really sweet! :D

[ivanex12]

woooouw lml

[GATvsGAT]

haha yeah. The size of that rig seems to scream out "get a life dude!"

I'm always thinking about selling something in it but worried I'd miss it. all the tonal bases are covered here. Great cleans from the DSL, Modern sounds from the recto, high gain vintage sounds from the VM.

[badacidbadacid]

Awesome. I love the new bits 02:42-02:50

That rig is getting embarassingly large tho!!
