15:40 woody is good description. Reminds me of ua-cam.com/video/M3-51DhOzHE/v-deo.htmlsi=xTbvNMoeD8Qg9xOK
Why does almost everybody demo this pedal for metal !!!
If you watch the demo I do lots of tones, including bluesy single coil tones.
What guitar is that please. I'm interested.
It’s an Ernie Ball Music Man Axis. Is particular one is a limited BFR model in nitro finish. They made 100 of them, which a stunning vintage style case.
@@SixStringAlliance Thanks for replying. That is a beauty!
@@ctatrains yeah it’s stunning!!! Has a beautiful matching purple back
Such a deadly player and down to earth guy, which is rare in that 80’s scene. One of my favourite players ever
Steve is a phenomenal player and a lovely guy
Great demo, great playing, I have one of these on its way to me from Thomann, same color
Fantastic video, thank you for you indepth commentary on this guitar.
Glad you liked it!
Small buttons....big big sound 😂
Indeed 🤣
I had the previous model with the oval pickup cavity. I hated the neck, it said "slim c" or something on the website but it was really chunky and wide towards the higher frets. What bothered me the most were the "shoulders" of the neck profile, it made it almost impossible to have any control over the strings on the upper frets. Looked pretty cool though.
This one plays and feels great
Incredible performance! Just bought one. Selling the others. Literally perfect delay
Thank you!!! Yes it’s a great delay pedal
The Dm7 you refer to is also F 1st inversion .
No it’s not. An F major does not have the note of D in it. And F major is 1st F, 3rd A, 5th C, and Dm7 is 1 D, b3 F, 5th A, b7 C.. The F major triad is a 1st inversion of Dm7. A 1st inversion of F major would be A:C,F.
@@SixStringAlliance The F major triad is the chord I was referring to and as you point out I was correct.
@@OliverSutton1962 you said Dm7 is the same as an F 1st inversion which is isn’t. An F major chord and its respective inversions do not contain a D. How ever a 1st inversion of a Dm7 chord contains an F major triad. The common mistake with this song, which is the mistake I made in my original tab book is to play an F major chord, which although harmonically is an inversion of the Dm7, they clearly include the D in the bass of the chord, as well as making use of close voice leading from the D major chord to the Dm7, not shifting up to an F major. Harmonically yes the same notes but not the same context. But again you said Dm7 is the same as the F 1st inversion which it isn’t, F major is the same as the 1st inversion of Dm7, they’re two very different things. F major 1st inversion, A,C,F; Dm7 1st inversion F,A,C,D. The chord in this song against the F bass would be written Dm7/F which is a fist inversion of Dm7, not F/A which is an F major 1st inversion. Maybe you’ve got your terminology mixed up in your originally post.
Great review. I recall you from another company giving Van Halen lessons!....Anyway, I have a quick question for you. Do you think if you added a Overdrive pedal going into the amp and say, a 7-band EQ pedal in the FX loop you would hear less and less differences?....Reason I am asking is I have been offered a deal on the Diezal, but the shop may throw in the Friedman as an extra part of the deal.....worth it? Or are they basically the same 30 Watt head with slightly different EQ tone stacks and OD section's?....Difference that could be mitigated with a couple of pedals? Thanks for any response. Cheers!
Yeah that company is Lick Library who I’ve worked for since 1997. Six String Alliance is my own thing. Basically there is similarities between some of them. I didn’t really rate the Diezel one. The Friedman is good, but the Soldano is great. I’d try and get one of those
@@SixStringAlliance Cool, thanks for the response. Best of luck in all your future endeavours...Keep on Pickin' and a grinnin' as they say....and always keep a song in your heart...Cheers!
Did he say “Midge Ure” ?!??!!
Yeah.. Midge Ure played guitar for Thin Lizzy.
the base platform for the ESP tigerburst or kamikaze was kramer, kramer did the oversized soloist body with the reverse headstock they are barely on the market few of my friends has the original 1985 kramer GL models, later on ESP bought the rights and platform from kramer
His playing on Salentino Cuts is just beautiful. 👏🏻
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Jamie, this has to be the best demo of the IR-X I've heard so far. Smoking tones!
Thank you!! 🎸
After the opening power chord you hear a bass run, NOT a muffled guitar string. Watch Thin Lizzy videos of The Boys are back in Town and youll see.
You hear a guitar fill, which is what is shown here . I trust track isolation. The bass is doubling the guitar fill. Listen to it you’ll hear it, even Gary Moore’s live version include him playing this fill.
Very Tasty Tones !
Thank you!! It’s an “always on” pedal, just so good
Great interview! I was in high school when Mind’s Eye came out, it was neck and neck as whether it would inspire me, or leave me in despair. 🙂 I’m glad I stuck with it!
Vinnie is a great guy and a good friend. Such a monster player
Wish they were full size , full scale…Tomo’s fault he wanted a student guitar for kids.
It is full size. This guitar has a 25 inch scale length
@@SixStringAlliance are you sure , I thought it was a 24 inch scale?
Having just bought one of these on the way, as well as being an unapologetic univibe freak, I greatly appreciate this fine demo video. Nicely thorough on the features and capabilities. Brilliant playing, production and writing. Great sounds and commentary. Well done sir, thank you.
Thank you very much!! It’s such a great pedal, I love the green setting for the overdrive, very thick sounding plus a great vibe. Enjoy your new pedal.
I agree with this. Excellent review. Newly subscribed! 🙂🎸
@@evenstephen2000 thank you very much!! Welcome aboard
Your voice signal chain is to die for. No noise, great compression and loudness
Haha thank you so much!! It’s great you’ve noticed. I’ve spent a lot of time working of the signal chain going in as well as the post isolation in RX10 and the post signal chain.
Very good demo. In your opinion is it possible to use Elixir electric 11-52 's chords. ?
Thank you.. maybe the 52 is a little lights on the bottom, but give it a try
Such a wonderful song at the beginning of the video 👍🏻
Thank you very much!!
Agreed! So good!
Is the amp set on clean and all that coming from the pedal?
Yes. At 9:19 I give you my clean core tone
Love the performance
Thank you
Guitar is slightly out of tune. Probably g or b string. Terrible guitar sound an all. Too much gain
Oh well.. I find comment like this intriguing.. a guitar tone is subjective, to say it’s terrible is pretty inaccurate and slightly arrogant. Is it the correct tone? No. Is it a free UA-cam video? Yes. And yes the G and B on a Les Paul are very hard to tune perfectly. I’m the main tutor on the Gibson app and come across this a lot. Also with SG’s, which are even more unstable. Either get it in tune open, or tune it to a chord. But again it’s a free UA-cam video. I normally don’t reply to comments like this, but you caught me on a day when I find opinions as annoying as my out of tune G and B strings.
Wasn't intending to be condescending or thinking I know everything. You're obviously a good player and I'm a massive lizzy fan. Hats off
@@stevecharlton145no worries.. I’ve had a lot of tuning comments. I’m not really a Gibson player outside of doing the Gibson app. I struggle with the intonation of the Les Paul, it’s a great guitar but a pig to get in tune in different positions. When I record with it I end up retuning to chords depending on position I play in 🤣 I’m a Music Man user mainly. But yeah I appreciate the tone wasn’t correct, it was more about correcting my old book I transcribed. Sometimes it can be a bit of a blow when you put a lot of hours producing a lesson and comments can be a little too negative, especially when you consider the hours of work it takes to produce something like this, all good tho
@SixStringAlliance no hard feelings mate. Keep on rocking
How bout the chords in the instrumental section? Was a little hard for me to hear it
I just showed the main parts.
The 3rd in the fill sounds pretty good as the first note as well as the 5th before the last note actually both dont sound that different actually could play different ways and still sounds good. could end on the 6th too and its ok sounding. sounds like a bit of pinch harmonic on 1st note. On the last chord of verse can instead of playing low E drop that 5th to the E in next octave
This seems perfect for live gigs where you never know how the room will sound and need to quickly adjust on-the-fly. How was the latency and overall "feel" of the preamp?
I believe there is latency if you look it up but I didn’t notice any. Feels like an amp, it’s great
Watched entire vid, amazing tones, absolute joy to watch, I have the IRx paired with HX effects and honestly, after watching this I’ve highly considered replacing HX with this, only thing that annoys me about units like this is parameter option overload, I like all the effect options but even with HX the effects have like 10 parameters, can be overwhelming when wanting to dial in quick tones, but thx for amazing vid as always Jamie 🤟
Glad you enjoyed it!. I have a Helix and an HX FX. I think this has replaced the HX FX but I’ll integrate with Helix. The effects are so pristine. I’ve never heard anything like it
I just got mine and just from scrolling presets I recorded 4 hours worth of song ideas..magical!!
Great stuff!!
Fantastic video! Love these. What kind of guitar is that?
Thank you.. this video went a bit under the radar!! I’m playing a Music Man Axis
Very useful demo!! Thanks a lot!!👍
You are welcome!
what a great walk through. some of the music software companies should employ you to show how to set the ware up. fantastic explanations without the fluff
Wow thank you!!!! I was worried about this one, but it came out pretty good!!
Your sir, are brilliant. What a pleasure to listen and learn from you. Thank you!
Thank you kindly!
What's wrong with the distortion in the unit
What do you mean? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the distortion in the unit. I used it on a few tones, but mainly the high gain was the Friedman. If you watch the connection part of the video you’ll see. Also regarding your last comment, if you go to the section where I’m building tones you can hear this is a 100% honest representation of the unit
I whatch all the reviews on the hotone mp100. Then when I use it .the reverb was junk the whole unit. To many people on UA-cam record all these units with u beaut recording gear. Then when u get it home .u will find out its no good. UA-camrs are dishonest
Hello, thanks for your comment. The unit was run with a pre/post method after a Friedman IR-X, so in other words the reverb is added after the preamp. What you hear is exactly how it’s sounded. Nothing dishonest about this video in the slightest.
Sorry I just re read your comment, I had no idea what a Hotone MP100 is. I had to look it up. You do realise this is an Eventide demo don’t you?
Ridiculous comment. You clearly don't know how to set this up.
I have this pedal and i really like it.maybe you amp is junk because i never had a problem with h90 theres a lot of things to learn on this pedal which is amazing.
@@Lanahalandoni I think he’s confused this with the Hotone, which looks like a cheaper copy of the H90. I’d never heard of it but looked it up and it looks identical.
I was laughing in amazement as you broke down how it turned simple guitar parts into amazing music! An awesome piece of gear and a fantastic demo. Thanks Jamie!
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s such an inspiration piece of gear
Nice intro song!!!
