I think it was a few months ago, maybe more (maybe an SPF?) where Brad said he wasn't interested in Polyphia because, even though they were very technically skilled, I want to say he said their stuff was boring and unmemorable. I thought that was pretty harsh, I was into them at the time, but thinking back I think it's telling how the only guitar line from any of their songs I remember was Steve Vai's part in the song they collaborated on.
I also didn't get how much he disliked Distrubed's version of Sound of Silence, until I heard the same thing with a song I really loved (Saul's version of Welcome To The Machine). I get it now. I'm going to chalk that up to two points for Brad.
Maybe it's just because I'm getting older, but my tolerance for BS is getting steadily lower.
In this video, I put on the cloak of a preacher and talk about why the modern state of Israel spoken about in Genesis 12 is NOT the same as the modern state of Israel we see today and why this idea that we should never oppose Israel is a false teaching. I will back my argument up with Christian scripture. This is something I've never attempted to do before - offer up a Biblical teaching. I do not feel qualified at all. In fact, I am probably one of the least qualified preachers on earth. But maybe that's why you should listen anyway. If you have more to add, or if you have a rebuttal, feel free to comment. I'm all ears and willing to learn more.
This is a video response to Tone Priest's question about modding a Hiwatt clone build. If you are a paid member here on Locals and have tech or other questions, I'll be happy to give you a similar video response when I get time! Thanks so much for all your continued support.
This was the full jam session on the Gibson L1 I did recently. As you probably know, I usually will jam for a while on something and then pick a few highlights to show in a final video. A ton of stuff got edited out. It's not all great, but it's not all bad either. I find it kind of soothing, this quiet acoustic stuff. I'm never sure where the mood will take me.
This is probably the most overlooked aspect of your guitar tone hiding right under your nose.
What's going on here, fellas? On both these schematics the OT plates get B+ DC like normal through a bridge rectifier but check out how the screens and all the preamp tubes are getting juice. There appears to be a second tap off the secondary of the PT which goes through a choke, has a couple filter caps than straight in. How is this getting rectified???
