Amazing tone from the roadster and the charvel! what are your settings for the Roadster sir!? thank you and god bless!

[LegendaryTones]

@submit1 Thanks. I don't recall the exact settings unfortunately, but it was nothing extreme on the dials. The speakers really helped open up the sound.

How well do u think the Charvel would sound with a Stiletto Ace 2x12?

[LegendaryTones]

@MiketheGuitarDude91 Actually, probably somewhat similar to what you heard here. Because the Stiletto is a brighter circuit going after a Marshall-like tone, and my rig here uses different speakers (G12K100 Celestions instead of Vintage 30's), which again, bring out a brighter, punchier sound. It's like the one balances the other. The Charvel with the evo pickups are high output, but still very open and punchy - they're essentially a hot rodded PAF sound.

Hey David, great demo!Beszelsz magyarul?:)

[LegendaryTones]

@LPFan3118 Thank you. And I can speak a little bit, but really lost the language as a child growing up in the U.S. When I was a young student, I was teased in school for "switching" languages and one day told my mother I no longer wanted to learn Hungarian. Because she was forced to learn Russian - and disliked that - during her school days, she didn't want to force any language on me. It's unfortunate and I wish I was fluent since it's part of our family heritage.

That Mesa sounds fantastic. Good playing, too. Keep the demos coming.

Nice Job Daddy!

Do the the g12k-100s retain the bottom end the recto cabinet usually has. The reason I ask is I have the same cab with a Mesa Tremoverb and love the tone your getting.

Holy crap! He looks just like Paul Giamatti!

[NicholasGreen91]

I so badly want a Charvel So Cal.... and I own a mesa amp. Sadly guitar center doesn't have the guitar but has the amp, Sam Ash has the guitar but not the amp!  This video helps my dilemma! Thanks!

[Aeon3D]

I just love how it stayed in perfect tune after the whammy assault.
