Landry LS100 and Gibson Les Paul

I'm using a crappy digital camera, but I hope the tones of this killer amp come across favorably. Landry is a brand new guitar amp maker based out of St. Louis, Missouri. He's a GREAT guy, awesome player, and has a golden ear for tone! I just bought the second LS100 sold and am proud to share this video of it with everyone! His new amps (www.landryamps.com) are all hand-built by him using some of the finest parts available. I describe this LS100 head as a SUPER versatile Marshall Plexi. It has all of the classic and modded Plexi tones on tap, but also a great master volume, line level effects loop, great sounding spring reverb, EQ controls that actually work, and a SUPER nice "Fender blackface" style clean channel. In this video, I start out on the beautiful clean channel with some of the amp's built-in spring reverb, then I change some knobs on that same channel to get lighter distortion tones. This is an AWESOME feature in my opinion! I then walk through channel 2, first without the "high gain" boost, then with it engaged. I switch the "high gain" boost off and on a time or two at the end. I'm not using the rack effects processor in this video, but the Landry loop works PERFECTLY with it (Rocktron Intellifex.) If you love a nice vintage Fender clean tone AND the "perfect" stock and modded Marshall Plexi tones with features that make it versatile (effects loop, multiple channels, spring reverb, master volume, EQ that works, etc...), this is the amp to get.

How to Buy a Guitar Amp

You can just go into the store and buy whatever amp, right? Yes, it could be that simple. But, without proper information, one could end up making a very costly mistake. So, we will delve into the world of tone and the steps to making a more informed buying decision.

Because that's what you're looking to find - the right tone. Tone is the combination of your guitar, your amp, and your fingers. The amp is crucial because it provides the means for self expression.
This is the first installment of two articles that will try to help you choose an amplifier. I will focus on beginning players today and intermediate players in the next installment. First, what style of music do you play? There aren't as many amp choices as for guitars, but they are more or less designed for specific groups of players and/or genres of music. This doesn't mean one amp won't do most things in the world of tone, but they usually shine in only a few areas. Last, but definitely not least, PRICE! Some of us can go out a buy whatever our hearts desire, but for the majority of us, price plays a major role in the search for tone.

Although I know you want to, as a beginning guitar player, you don't need to go out and buy that massive Mesa or Marshall stack or even a 2 x 12" combo amp. Start with something basic. A small practice amp with an 8", 10", or 12" speaker should be sufficient. Channel switching is very nice to have. Channel switching allows you to go from dirty to clean with push of a button on the front panel or with a switch on the floor. Reverb, as well as chorus, is a nice option to have. (Don't hold your breath for chorus, though.) These features make playing much more fun.

I wouldn't spend more than $300 on an entry-level amp, and that figure should probably end up somewhere betweeen $100 and $200. I don't recommend buying below $100 dollars. I don't think they sound all that good. At the sub-$300 price level, pro tone hasn't entered the building, and tubes are hard to find (there are a few, but we won't go into that here). Decent noise can be had, though. For most tones, the entry level amps of the major manufacturers are great buys. I would stay away from tube amps, because they tend to show more mistakes. This can be very frustrating when just starting out. All that is needed is an amplifier that sounds relatively decent and will keep you playing.

As a beginning guitar player, you don't have to play in the store. Have the sales guy take a particular amplifier through its paces. Listen closely to the amplifier. Is the sound clear? If applicable, how does the reverb sound? Lush and warm or "Boingy"? We want as close to lush and warm as possible. Channel switching? Does it pop when changing the channels? What kind of range do the knobs produce? A large margin of frequency cutting is what we want here, for the purpose of getting as many sounds as possible. Cheaper amps tend to only have passive tone controls, (i.e they only cut frequencies). The more expensive amplifiers can sometimes have active tone controls, (i.e. cutting and boosting of frequencies is possible). The Peavey 5150 II is like this. Remember that the sales dude has most likely been playing with all these amps for 4 hours a day for several years, and he may sound a lot better than you do, but he also knows the amps.

If you do feel up to playing in the shop, we have some terms that you will find labeled as some of the amplifier and taken to define the front. Some of the amplifiers, the higher end of this category can jack / control on the back. On the amplifier, you will find one or two 4.1 "input jacks labeled input. With two boys, are high or low or is labeled 0 dB and-6dB. High/0db Entry for guitars with passive pickups, and low / -6db is for guitars with active pickups, thehave a higher output signal compared to passive pickups. The one, lower input is padded to help control input distortion, which can sound pretty bad. I have found that the only difference is in volume with transistor amps, but your experiences may differ.

Next are the controls. The number of controls can vary from one to about twelve, and more have been seen. Generally, you will find a volume control, a bass control, a middle control, and a high control. These are pretty explanatory. Sometimes, the volume control will be labeled post gain. On amps with channel switching, a pre gain control is usually present. This controls the amount of dirt or distortion. If you are lucky enough to get an amplifier that has reverb, there will be a control to adjust the amount of "echo" that you hear, from none to full saturation. With amps that have more than this minimum number of controls and channel switching, a separate set of tone controls are usually added for the clean channel, so that you don't have to use the same settings on your clean channel that you use for your distortion channel. With chorus, the controls are rate and depth. Rate is the speed of the effect and depth is the amount of the effect you hear.

For power, ten to thirty watts is all that is really needed. Anything more, and hearing loss, parents, siblings, and neighbors become a problem. If the amp does have channel switching, I strongly recommend purchasing the footswitch that goes with it. You will thank me. Specific manufacturers to look at are Peavey, Fender, Marshall, Randall, and Waller (this is a new manufacturer that puts out some great sounding amplifiers). If you do have the budget to get an effects box along with the amp, I don't recommend getting a distortion pedal. Let the amp do the work. Besides, noise problems will usually pop up, especially with transistor amps.

In closing, choosing a starter amplifier is more about get a decent sound, continue to play like stroking your ego or looking good in front of your friends with the latest and best amplifiers on the market. The tone of your favorite guitarist is unnecessary and may even fool. If you spend a lot of money and not keep up with her, you bought your self wearing a very expensive parking. Remember to buy what you want, and listen to your ears!

How do I buy a guitar amplifier

You can go to the store and buy only what amp, right? Yes, it could be easier. But without proper information, you may end up making a very costly mistake. So we are in the world of music and how to create a dip more informed buying decision.

Why look at what you find - the right tone. Tone is the combination of guitars, amplifiers and fingers. The amplifier is crucial because it offers the possibility of self-Expression.
This is the first installment of two articles that attempt, you will guide the selection of an amplifier. I will focus today on the best players and advanced players in the next installment. First, what kind of music do you play? There are not that many choices, such as guitar amplifiers, but are more or less, and for specific groups of players or music. This does not mean that an amplifier is not more things in the world of sound, but usually only one shinefew areas. Last but not least, PRICE! Some of us can go and buy one, what our heart desires, but for most of us plays an important role in price in the search for tone.

Even though I know you want to start as a guitarist, do not go and buy that massive Mesa or Marshall or even a 2 x 12 "combo amp. It starts with something basic. A small practice amp with an 8", 10 "or 12 "speakers should be sufficient. Channel change is very nicehave. Change the channel to switch from dirty, clean with a push of a button on the front panel or by a switch on the floor. Reverb and chorus is nice to have an option. (Do not hold your breath for chorus, though.) These features make it much more fun to play.

I do not want to spend more than $ 300 on an entry level amplifier and this figure should probably end up somewhere between $ 100 and $ 200. I do not recommend the purchase of $ 100. I do not believe all that soundso well. The price below $ 300 per tonne has not entered the palace, and the tubes are hard to find (there are few, but we will not go into here). Decent noise can have, even if his. For most sounds, entry-level amplifiers are buying from the leading manufacturers of large dimensions. I would stay away from tube amps, because they show more errors. This can be very frustrating when just starting. All we need is an amplifier, sound relatively decent and will keep you playing.

AsFrom the guitar, not playing in the shop. Have a certain turnover through amplifiers Guy take his steps. Listen carefully to the amplifier. And 'the sound clear? Where appropriate, as the reverb sound? Lush and warm or Boingy? We want to close as lush and warm as possible. Changing channels? E 'pop when changing channels? What range do the knobs produce? A wide frequency range is cut, what we want here in order to obtain as muchSounds like possible. Amplifiers tend to be cheaper only passive tone control, (ie only the low frequencies). The more expensive amplifiers can control the tone sometimes active (ie cutting and increased frequencies is possible). The Peavey 5150 II is. Remember that the sales guy was probably playing with all these amps for 4 hours a day for several years, and he can do much better than they sound, but also knows the amplifiers.

If you feel up to the gameshop, we have some terms that you will find labeled as some of the amplifier and taken to define the front. Some of the amplifiers, the higher end of this category can jack / control on the back. On the amplifier, you will find one or two 1 / 4 "input jacks labeled input. With two boys, are high or low or is labeled 0 dB and-6dB. High/0db Entry for guitars with passive pickups, and low /-6db is for guitars with active pickups, thehave a higher output than passive pickups. One entry is padded to help lower input bias control, which sound pretty bad. I discovered that the only difference may vary in volume with transistor amps, but your experience.

Next are the controls. The number of checks may vary from one to twelve years and was never seen again. In general, there is a volume control, bass control, a control center and high control. These are quite understandable.Sometimes the volume control is identified, its contribution to win. The amplifier channel switching, a pre-gain is usually present. Controls the amount of dirt or distortion. If you are lucky to be a reflection that the amplifier will be an amount of control, "echo" heard from zero to complete saturation. With amplifiers, more than this minimum number of controls and switching channels, a separate set of tone controls are usually used to upgrade the cleanChannel so that you do not have the same settings on your clean channel, according to use for your channel distortion can. With the choir, the frequency and depth controls. Rate is the speed and depth of the effects is the amount of effect you hear.

For power, ten to thirty watts is all that really necessary. Nothing more, and hearing loss, parents, brothers and neighbors become a problem. If the amp has no channel switching, I recommend purchasing the footswitch thatgoes with him. Thank me. to see specific manufacturers are Peavey, Fender, Marshall, Randall, and Waller (this is a new manufacturer that puts some great sound amplifier). If the budget for about a effects pedal box with the amp I do not recommend that a distortion. Let the amp do the work. Furthermore, the noise problems usually pop up, especially with transistor amp.

Finally the choice of a starter amp is moreget a decent sound, continue to play like stroking your ego or looking good in front of your friends with the latest and best amplifiers on the market. The tone of your favorite guitarist is unnecessary and may even fool. If you spend a lot of money and not keep up with her, you bought your self wearing a very expensive parking.

Review of the Rivera Knucklehead guitar amplifier

Not surprisingly, it is by a guy named Paul Rivera Rivera heard. I think it's a little 'surprising that his name is Paul, but that was it. While I hate to spread rumors about facts, I do not know, this press release, namely that the press is all about. The voice on the street is that Paul Rivera has worked for Fender and Marshall amp for the annual change for the rock star who could afford to change them. If this is true, it will explain a lot aboutRivera Knucklehead.

The Rivera Knucklehead is a 100 watt all tube, 2 - channel guitar head. Each channel has a gain. Both channel change and increases in profit are controlled by the pedal. As with any 100 watt head, this thing is proudly aloud. It includes an effects loop with input and output control for the effects and so on. The Knucklehead uses 5 12AX7 preamp tubes and 4 EL 34 power tubes. Each channel has tone controls and a greater focus andPresence control are global, that affect both channels. It would have been nice to have, Rivera has a spring reverb on. This is the only missing feature.

American Channel (Clean Channel)
First, I must say that is not the clean channel so much as a clean channel, absolutely. It's more like a channel of Fender. I mean, if you crank the gain on the clean channel, it will sound very distorted distorted so that a Fender.This sound is not what you want for the metal in most cases, even if he can pull an Iron Maiden type sound. Turn the "Ninja Boost" and says the gain will bring you back down in the mud. It is not an exact replica of the Fender sound, absolutely. The tubes are not used normally found in Fenders and even if the tubes had the same sound is very different from the Fender amp to amp. They have enormous potentialTheir tone. I mean awful! You have the typical low, medium and high. Pulling the pot high for the "Bright Boost" and pull out when you take the middle, take the "Mid Scoop". The tone controls are the most vulnerable I've ever seen on a guitar amplifier. Indeed, the tone knobs to be sensitive.

Connect offers a start or tele tone that bargain. It is basically a Fender amplifier. Connecting a Les Paul or PRS is a different ball game. TheThe tones are absurd on this channel. You should be able to get something you want on this side fender expected, a Fender. This amplifier is very sensitive to guitars and amps it different sounds drastic change than others.

Distortion channel (Channel Marshall)
Well, I called this part of the Marshall amplifier channel. The sound is not exactly a Marshall. I have a Marshall Super Lead 1971. And 'the sound is a bit'Unlike what you hear, Rivera. I would not say that the tone is necessarily better or worse, but different. If you get this caliber of guitar amplifiers are all good, it's just a matter of preference.

The distortion channel has a gain boost, low, medium and high. Again, these tone controls are sensitive as ever to see a guitar amplifier. It's stupid how much control you have over your tone. This amplifier has much to gain if you wantmuch to gain. With a Les Paul, I do not think I have the gain past 12 clock, each presented. You will not believe how different this amp sounds when you take the half and then in 0 to 10 bar. There is a difference like night and day.
With the gain boost off, this thing feels like a good medium-low gain amplifiers distorted. As I said, choosing the right guitar and sound settings can be time consuming, but always what you want is a possibility. It is worth trying, all the guitarsThis amp is a few that shine more than others, obviously. In this setting, there is absolutely no problem pulling out sounds like AC / DC and 70 other sounds. I would probably go first with my 1971 Superlead for this application, but only because the difference in sound, but I was a guitarist in search of that sound very happy, but to do so.

If you take the pressure gain, this thing is far from dead. I'm talking about death metal death, if this is what you are looking for.In my opinion, to raise the gain to a stupid crank the bass and treble, and digging all the centers is grossly exaggerated. I would say it is unusable. The child on the street can all love it, though. I would say that's the beauty of this amp. You can choose the sound too thin or too fat .... too light or too boring to do. And 'to your game, guitar, and sound settings.

With the push of profit on all the settings and 7, this amplifier is now a skirtThe machine sounds in this amp are staggering. Here you will find a sound you like. It just takes time to find the perfect combination. This requires more than a Marshall. Sometimes half of 5 is too much when the bass is 6 but the lower depths of up to 5 may take a little 'more than the average, for example. I say that the tone controls are highly interdependent.

This amp would be my first choice to live forever. It is a mammothSound when I want and gives me 4 sounds great with the pedal. Going MEGA gain too dirty just one step away. Moving from a fairly clean low distortion gain is just a click away. I guess that's one of the best live-amps you can buy.

In the studio .... Well, this whole thing on almost every project that I used to do. I have a project that has not worked well on getting. I recorded the country rock and death metal with this amp and every one of them was certainly verysatisfied.

Finally, I would not change anything about Rivera. It's worth every penny.

What kind of PA system should be used in my group?

There comes a time in the life of each band, if someone really wants to play somewhere. (Somewhere, the drummer is not the basement, I mean.) Until now, the singer microphone connected to the keyboard amp, but just to be one of, if we or you play in a restaurant (or a barn, terrace)? The truth dawns: we need a PA system for vocals. But what is?

There are several factors to look at and a number of pitfalls you needto avoid. I'm just here on the highlights, in which the most important decisions that need you and your band to be the right system for your hard earned money. Since I only worked closely with some of these systems, I do not recommend specific brands or models here. But I will give some points to consider as you sort through the available systems.

1st Powered Mixer or individual components?

The first thing is to decide whether to use an all-in-onePA system or separate components. An all-in-one, also known as "Power Mixer", contains a mixer (usually 8 channels), a power amplifier (two channels for main and monitor speakers), and maybe some effects like reverb basis and delays.

If this is your first band system of PA, you should take this type of drive, especially if you're not a man of sound for your band. An all-in-one device is easy to install, just need power, microphone and speakerCompounds and is ready to go! You can put it on the side of the stage and must control access to their simple controls, including significant levels.

A component system with separate mixer, amplifiers, effects and lasts much longer and go to a concert, although it offers some additional flexibility. If you have someone to set up and run the PA for you, a component of the system might work. Otherwise I would keep it simple and go with theAll-in-one.

2nd How much power?

The necessary power to the PA depends on the size of venues to play and expect to play in the kind of music. (An acoustic band without a drummer needs less energy than a PA headbanging metal suit.) Another consideration is whether you want just voice, several voices or tools through the PA. Put down (a bit ') on the PA to increase even really eat the amplification stagespower!

The fact is, you should buy the maximum power that can be done. This is only guaranteed to be more power than you think you need. Then throw in the fact also that services for these systems are more marketing numbers and engineering details are often misleading ... Conclusion: I have never heard a band, and looking back to say he wished he had bought a small PA system!

3rd How many speakers?

I wouldWe suggest two speakers and two monitors. Even in a small town, you really need to distribute the left and right main speakers properly balanced sound throughout the room. (When I say left and right, I'm not talking about a stereo setup - the signal is the same on both speakers.) With two speakers, it reduces the number of listeners who are closest to the final as PA speakers, and thus can not be heard singing.

One might be tempted to skimp on boxes and monitorsonly one. This may be fine if it's just a singer, instrumentalist, but also really enjoy hearing and other players. With two monitor speakers should allow all somewhere in the vicinity of at least one of them!

4th What microphones and other accessories on?

If you do not have much on hand, I would take a Shure SM58 faithful to each singer. Probably will not need to make the battery of Mike. In fact, you should avoidMicrophones for more than the song, if possible, since each microphone on stage waiting to happen breathtaking Feedback scream!

If you go running out through the PA, use the boxes between different instruments - guitar, bass, keyboard - and its amplification with mixer stage to send the signal to the PA. If there is an acoustic guitar, using the signal of his pickup in place of acceptance. If you do not have a built-in pickup, you might try an add-on type,although this may not have the sound quality you need. Fortunately, it seems that most acoustic pickups are built in those days.

You will also need the microphone cable, power cable and the primary monitor, and possibly a snake (a multi-core cable allows you to eight or more signals between the stage and the PA mixer running).
