Academy of Tone 2: Killer guitar tone with AMP1

 

 

 

Time Stamps

0:00 Intro
1:08 Thomas' modded Vox AC30 and who is Peter Weihe.
2:11 A/B between the Vox AC30 and the AMP1 Mercury Edition
2:49  Settings on the AMP1 (Vintage Channel, no Boost, Gain10, Bass 10, Mid 5, Treble 4,5)
5:00 AMP1 EQ Controls explained to get a killer tone on the vintage channel with stack 1970 on the bluBOX
11:31 What about a clean tone (with Fender Stratocaster)?
14:02 What about a clean tone (with Gibson ES335)?
16:25 What is a treble-bleed?
21:20 Wiring diferences on Thomas' Stratocaster and the trebel-bleed circuit
25:45 Matching overdrive sounds with the clean tone with switcher noise
27:12 Unplugging the switcher to solve a noise problem and why it occurs
29:00 Matching overdrive sounds with the clean tone without switcher noise
31:10 Can I do a nice bluesy SRV tone with the Iridium?
31:43 Does the overdrive Master change the poweramp tone like it would on traditional amps? Or does it just change the volume, so you can balance the channels without affecting tone?
34:38 What are the pickups in the Stratocaster?
36:33 Can I use the custom controls to have a normal volume on clean and classic and a louder solo modern?
37:55 How high can I go with the master volume when using a NANOcab?
40:36 I'm getting hiss/noise when my master volume is at 10, is that normal?
42:15 How different is the low gain mode between Mercury and Irisium?
44:18 My overdrive pedals seem to have problems with the Mercury Edition
48:00 How to change the gain with the REMOTE1
51:11 Can you give us more information about the dummy coil in your Stratocaster?
54:45 Do you have any recommendation for an in-ear headphone using bluBOX with Mercury Edition? I'm looking for something that fits best to the frequency behaviour of the FATcab.
56:05 How do you set up your rhythm vs lead volume in a live situation? Still keeping enough headroom to use your guitar volume knob as well to vary between clean/crunch and lead?
59:30 Can I use the expert features on the Silver Edition?
1:02:22 Thomas sets up his tone on the Iridium Edition with his Stratocaster
1:06:48 Thomas sets up his tone on the Iridium Edition with his Gibson ES335
1:10:07 Thomas switches back to his Stratocaster with the same settings to show the difference
1:13:28 Could you tell me … if all I want is classic amp tones clean to light crunch, should I just buy a current edition or would there be much advantage to waiting for the AMP X release?
1:14:59 Can I upload my own IR's to the Iridium?
1:15:45 Can I use a Big Muff style pedal in front of the Iridium?
1:17:31 How does AMP1 handle switching from humbuckers to single coiled guitars … ? Do you use specific presets?
1:21:06 Question on the AMP1 Mercury Edition. Do you have any suggestions to get the response more immediate? I like the sound but it sags/compresses a bit much for my taste.
1:22:40 How light is your touch when you play Thomas? Both picking -  and left hand … love AMP1
1:29:28 Outro
