[MusicMan44144]

Really cant deside whether i prefer the black pickguard or not!!

[evildemonllama]

That thing must weigh a ton. I have an AC15C1, and it weighs close to 50 pounds.

[pablinkk]

[Disco234jockey]

[chymist66]

Vous obtenez une tonalité fantastique de cette combinaison AC30 télé.

[tellycastin]

Great sound. Good post.

*Check my Tele demo.

[christofa96]

[fld1201]

tres beau son!

[tdrider2008]

what song is it at 0:31, if its day tripper and i dont notice it i might have to go commit suicide

[gladiators2037]

@tdrider2008 it's not. i didn't recognize what it was, but it sounded like something acdc might have done

[tdrider2008]

@gladiators2037 ya i listen to day tripper and it isnt that for sure

[nboucher98]

@tdrider2008 It's "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner.

[poopilentes54]

What color is that tele? (Desert Sand or Blonde)

[reskaped]

@poopilentes54 desert sand

[goldenhopper]

Such a great amp, but too loud for anything under a mid sized gig. AC15 with an Alnico Blue is far more useful and a much better studio amp.

[TheChippyRick]

@goldenhopper Is the difference in gain that noticeable between a cranked ac30 and one played at small gig volume?

[goldenhopper]

@TheChippyRick TheAC30 and AC15 both have master volume controls so the tube portion of the drive is still there at any volume but the characteristics are not the same as the speaker or speakers do not respond the same way at lower volumes. IMO the master volume control robs much of the true tone of the amp when you are backing it off too much. This is another reason I like the AC15 so much more. You can get that full-tilt chime at a lower volume, which by the way is still pretty loud!

[TheChippyRick]

@goldenhopper I get what you're saying. I'm thinking about changing from a Fender Hot Rod Deville...which is 60 watts all tube. I don't think I can sacrifice that much volume. (even though I honestly never crank it past 4.)

When you say rob the tone, how much of a difference is it when you're not opening the speakers up?

[goldenhopper]

@TheChippyRick It's not the end of the world to back off the volume a bit, but I'm picky about getting the right tone. Is your Deville a 2x12 or 4x10? IMO the AC30 is just as loud as the Deville if not louder. I have a Blues Deville 4x10 that I use very little because I never need the volume, but won't sell it because the clean tones sound great at any volume (same is true for the AC30). If you end up getting an AC30 buy it standard and add English Alnico blues they're better than the Chinese.

[TheChippyRick]

@goldenhopper It's a 2x12. Yea the cleans sound great. But aren't as clear, due to the Eminence speaker. I'm extremely tight on cash so I'm going to have to jack the price of my amp up a little to barely meet the cost. I like the Blue Alnico's. I tried them out at a local GC, but I don't think you can go wrong with C Greenbacks.

[CampfireHedphaz]

@goldenhopper Agreed, currently saving up for a blue.

[back2thefutre]

fart

[Emwikts1970]

awesome tone, looking forward to get myself an ac30 :O

[SwanSongRecords]

Would have sounded better without tremelo

[daaron44]

i have an erection... is it normal ? lol

[skyz0rk]

sexy sounds !

[TolikRyumin]

do you hear a Vox ac20 cc2?? what is better cc2 or c2?

[kicsipupi]

hy!

someone can tell me what is the song begins at 0:30?

i forgot its name:)

[HOUMETEGUH]

@kicsipupi

hey man, looks like Rock & roll damnation by AC/DC

[jcshirke]

Is your Baja Desert Sand or Blonde (with a white pick guard added)? Thanks, and nice demo, nice playing in all of your clips.

[bcarman14]

sounds sick

[samhealy93]

@reskaped:

I've got a classic player baja as well, so i'm wondering 'do you have any problems with crackling sounds when you don't touch any metal on your guitar? it sounds like a faulty lead, but it's not...get me?

[dannyclr]

omg i have forgot what this song is :( can someone plz tell me :D thanks

[joehudson]

daytripper

[Megazord24]

@joehudson by Beatles, but better by hendrix ;)

[kjhgbh]

stupid daniel, dont you know your classics?

[FreaquedeMusique]

the vibrato is anoying!

[spentonmediocrity]

Even flat sawn vs quarter sawn affects tone,the latter tends to be brighter.

Acoustically some body/neck/bridge combinations just sound plunky and warm while others don't.I want sustain and warmth.

[spentonmediocrity]

It sounds like you have alnico speakers in there.

Also,could you tell me what gives some teles,such as yours,that plunky/warm tone on your wound strings?I wonder if that may be in part because of brass saddles and ash.

[paidinb]

@spentonmediocrity - regarding your tone question: as you know, tone is the result of many factors. My teles, without brass saddles, achieve that same warm tone and above all it begins with a good pickup (assuming the guitar is not made of balsa wood!). I would focus on that first if you're thinking of jumping into a tele.

(BTW, my pickups are wound by O.C. Duff in NJ; he does great work. If you're looking for a certain tone, contact him and he'll be sure to help out).

[spentonmediocrity]

Thanks.

I know what you're saying about pickups(alnico 2 vs 5 vs ceramic vs formvar vs enamel,etc).

I am referring to the effect of with ash on tone.

The warm you get from wood/hardware is different from pickup warmth...can be similar at times though.

Some guitars sound warm and pluncky unplugged while others are sharp and bright...I want the former.

Thanks.

[paidinb]

spentonmediocrity -- I see now what you're looking for. I've had similar questions over the years, and aside from just the experience of playing guitars with multiple wood combinations, I recently found the Warmoth web page to be helpful. It discusses all the tonal qualities of both standard and exotic woods. It's worth a look!

[geridg]

love that Tele. The color is really sweet. Any lefties?

[paidinb]

@geridg -- I'm a lefty too, and unfortunately Fender, like Gibson and others, has recently cast aside many lefty models. This guitar (player classic) is not available lefty. I highly suggest you look into equal or better products from G&L or Bill Lawrence (Swampkaster), etc. Personally, I have built mine through Warmoth and they are far superior to anything Fender could put together, and for less money.

I suggest you search for "Adirondack Guitar Store" to get a sense of available lefties.

[Skamundongohell]

Great Tone you´ve got there Dude!

[Paciuca]

is this version with alnico blue?

i have this one whit warfedale but doesn't sound like this...

[majorbalna]

day trippeeeeeeer:)

[stalinzapata]

I must buy one vox ac30 some day! I love this sound!

[SwampAshSpecial]

sounds great, turn down the intensity of the trem a bit at the start :)

[MrSkeff]

Woo telecaster as well, love em

[MarkBrim]

do you get any tube rattle from the ac30?

[danitz56]

TUBE RATTLE.

I get a lot of it in my Fender Blues DeVille. Sucks, doesn't it.

[MarkBrim]

it sucks so bad.. i've gotten rid of 2 combos for that very reason.. wont be fooled again! am now strictly a head and cab guy..

[IrishAmericanPride]

Which combos, if you don't mind me asking?

You're lucky. I wish I could get a head/cab setup, but I just don't have the room.

[MarkBrim]

i had an 80 twin that gave me trouble, and a bugera v22. both of which sounded sweet, but i just didnt feel like dealing with it

[bluestudio67]

Hey Mark,

Honestly... what do ya think of the v22. It's got all the right stuff for me, price is right. How did it "feel?" Have that nice fat clean?

[MarkBrim]

hey man, the stock v22 sounds and feels quite impressive, and i am thinking of buying another, it realy is that good.

The "feel" is all that one would expect with a tube amp, awesome dynamics, but, the clean sound is where the amp really excels. It is a very full, robust clean tone, nothing boomy or "missing". also, the clean channel takes pedals quite well.

[MarkBrim]

hat is to say, compared to the dirty channel it is more impressive, but the dirty channel is quite rich by itself. very "voxy" "matchless" type gain. great with a boost or overdrive in front.

with a speaker swap, tube replacement and bias, the v22= just an awesome amp.

FOR THE MONEY.

[MarkBrim]

i retract this statement haha

[Foo3112]

@danitz56 Its called reverb

[danitz56]

What the hell are you talking about. Tube rattle is not reverb. It's either the result of defective tubes, or a loose tube socket. Reverb is something different altogether. K?

[danitz56]

lol

[legebakkenb]

hey

there is really no other way to get this magic sound. I guess it will be a AC 30 cc2

You get wonderful sounds out of it.Nice playing ! Can I ask if you use the special settings on the Baja or if your magic sounds can be made by any good ordinary Tele ? Now I use a Standard Mex Tele. I wonder if similiar sounds will come from that one too on an AC 30. Anybody ? And : do you have to turn the volume up to ear-damage level to get these good sounds ?

[reskaped]

the pickups are for many there, they are custom shop twisted and to broadcaster. I play has weak volume, thus not need to push too much the volume.

sorry for my English, I am french, I use a translator

[elitemx101]

@reskaped LOL thats why translators are shit....that made no sense haha

[DanskeSange]

@legebakkenb Use a Tremolo pedal/effect :-)

[sebasredspecialfan]

@legebakkenb Use a treble booster to get this overdriven sound at lower (relative) volume

[EPICFAILSAM]

dude have you demoed this amp with the P90 les paul?

[reskaped]

NO SORRY

[EPICFAILSAM]

could you? that would be awesome

[reskaped]

I can't, I have no more the les paul and ac30.

sorry

[EPICFAILSAM]

oh sorry. did you lose a bet?

[reskaped]

I sold my ac30 to buy a vox ac4 and a guitar folk

[rhymeskill]

@reskaped Actually smart move man. Unless you play really big shows the AC30 is overkill. Almost unplayable and really high levels. The AC15 is perfect IMO. I wouldn't mind getting an AC4 little mini stack though just for fun.

[Tsuekasae]

also got the baja in blonde, sounds better on a ac30 than my hot rod deluxe

[telecasterman18]

I love tele's and vox amps!!!

[joeNjudeProductions]

did yu put a white pickguard on ur self?

[reskaped]

Yes I put a 3 ply white pickguard has the place of the 1 ply white pickguard

[mituyusaidaaaa]

いい音ですね。

[thelastnic]

love the tele, like the amp but way to loud for place i am living in, i am fighting urge to buy the artic white MIM

[GroovyGuitar02]

try a lil' vox AC4 ! =D

[CheckerTele]

Is the VOX you have a tube amp, because I'm seriously considering buying that amp now...

HUGE step up from my Frontman 65r.

[aektzis91]

yes, tube amp :D

[lsdman14]

haha if youre asking that question you might wanna start out with a more down to earth choice for a new amp

[CheckerTele]

Doesn't mean I can't play guitar, bud.

I just picked up a Fender DeVille 212, with 2 6L6 Groove Tubes, and 3 12AX7 preamp tubes.

Don't question my knowhow, I'm not familiar with VOX.

[lsdman14]

Haha sorry dude. Just most people who ask those questions are usually just posers. I get what youre saying though about vox and stuff. Great amps those fender, i thought the deville was a 4x10 though?

[CheckerTele]

No worries man.

I know what you mean about the posers too. If it was 2 years ago I would be considered one (you've gotta do the homework).

Yeah I love the Fender its great - and it actually comes in both a 212 and 410 combo...

[67mas]

quelle bon son , change rien.

tes vidéos ont toutes un très beau son.

je pense que tu joues avec une ( baja télécaster ).

si tu mets encore un chorus tu as le must pour moi.

[67mas]

quelle pédale as-tu pour avoir ce son crunch

[reskaped]

je n'utilise pas de pedale, c'est le son de l'ampli

[purenectar]

i wish i never sold my ac30

[reskaped]

It 's the tremolo of the amplifier

[hetfield2x4]

great playing dude! is that effect tremolo and if so, is it built into the amp or do u have a separate pedal?

[reskaped]

yes, it's a pickgaurd 3 ply

[kneeseb]

did u change the scatch plate/pick guard?

[embran]

it's day tripper...

[scorpguitar79]

ooops yep

[lsdman14]

wow dude nice fail

[lsdman14]

When i was saying "nice fail" i wasnt talking about the video... i was replying to another comment by another guy. Who seems like a dick now?

[thenoodlesgroup]

sorry man, for some reason it came up as a separate comment for me. :D truce?

[lsdman14]

haha no problem at all, i know ive probably done the same plenty of times. Truce :)

[ivanarato]

very nice tone! i love it
