+1 sa Never. Tone is only half of the equation, I'd rather have bad tone with godly skills than good tone with crappy playing. And oh, another +1 that there would also be no videos here, just like in his other countless reviews.

Sorry to say dude but its -1.  Tone is equal to or more than playing.  As they say, you get paid for being heard too and no amount of godly skills can get you re-booked if the audience has to painfully deal with your tone..  Any of the amps experts will tell you that videos do not capture the sound and feel of amps.  Kung panay video ka lang, keep yourself to multieffects.

sir ff55 kelan kayo tugtog  sa mga event at production gaya ng pulp production or iba pang malalaking prod?  para marinig namin yun  yung tone mo... gig sched naman jan sir..

thanks..

sorry boss non gigging musician ako. Hobbyist lang po.  hindi importante ang tunog ko. mas importante tunog mo.

ganun ba sir? sayang naman yang skills nyo at yang magandang tunog nyo kung di mailabas at maipamalas sa mga makikinig. yung tunog ko sir? pangit nga ang tone ko sir. btw thanks sa reply...

rock n roll ..

By the way, for the snubbish metal crowd, Diezel remains to be the King when it comes to chug chug.  Bar none -- marshall and mesa will never hold against Diezel.  And the Komets, Bludotones and Brunos given a little help from a distortion or overdrive pedal will out METAL marshall or mesa. And in the process sound bigger, better and more pleasing to the ear.

That's your opinion right? For some it's not entirely correct right?

Its not a question of just people getting to listen to you, its more of a question if your worth listening too.  Eh kung sa step 1 pa lang which is tone, baksa ka na, bakit pa papakinggan ang playing mo?

Some opinions are better than others... For those not entirely correct, some of them maybe deaf or ignorant of good tone:)

[Extremist]

I agree that video recordings don't give justice to the sound of your awesome gear, so why not go and record in a studio? After all youre engaged in giving reviews why not complete the deal?

And I disagree with your statement that no godly skill can get you rebooked if the audience has to painfully deal with your tone. C'mon it couldn't be that bad. I've heard people live playing Fernando guitars and they give outstanding performances that earns them more booking, and they don't even have the godly skills! I've never heard a tone so bad that it can no longer be distinguished as music, but I've heard a $$$$ guitar sound like trash because it has been played poorly. That I think negates your statement that tone is equal to or more than playing.

Please don't turn this into another tone vs hands thread.. There are lots of them in the archive if you must.

These are amps few, if any, local guys have tried. I'd be interested in seeing how they compare.

Less words, more pics! LOL!

Kamusta na GY mo?

Teh ushual.

so the guys from Marshall and Mesa are deaf or ignorant of good tone... and so are the famous guitarists.

Teh ushual. 

Ako naman...

Bakit kaya ang dami pang bands na gumagamit ng Mesas and Marshalls?

[bastardo]

sana marinig natin yung tunog at skills nya sa post ng replies, hindi na kailangan ang video at audio recording.. sir ff55 pagbigyan mo na kami.. please!!!

[teleclem]

this. always inevitable with all the insecurities flying around. 

Sadly. It's a thread about interesting gear.. I hope people don't derail it.

Too late.

Bayad Sila or May free equipment...  Sino sabi sa iyo na Mesa at Marshall lang gamit nila?  Sino sabi sa iyo na Mesa at Marshall lang ang paborito nila?  Baka magulat ka na ginagawa lang nila para sa pera. 

Tanungin niyo mga endorser ng Ibanez dito?  Tanungin niyo mga endorser ng Blackstar dito? 

[Extremist]

Lots of small time players! but there is one band that I've heard during our visit in Vietnam, he uses a Fernando Tele.

I think most of the guys in this thread just want to hear it too... kahit video recording, I mean kung ganun kaganda yun. At least narinig namin. I mean we're talking about amplifiers right?

It' better to hear 'em and not just look how cool are the tone, gain knobs are... after all again they're amplifiers meant to be heard.

Pwede rin mag-demo si Alex about tone, you need to hear tone not just read or stare.

[firemodel55]

Ako naman... 

Maybe deaf or maybe not gifted enough... Case in point, ang sama ng tunog ng Lamb of God live at gamit na nila supposedly mga MK V and MK IV nila.  Walang definition.  Si Mark Morton lang ang nakakacut with assitance sa PA otherwise natatabunan siya ng drummer at vocalist... Pinaka nakaka awa ang bahista.  Hindi marinig na kamukha ng kalaban ni Gandalf sa Lord of the Rings.  Mas masagwa nga sa Black Dahlia Murder dahil hindi marinig mag lead ang gitarista maski na dalawang marshall head ang gamit (isa yata backup-- not sure).

[kernelsalonpas]

oh boy...

mesas and marshalls and fenders, vox etc of course have iconic amps- those are responsible for the legendary tones you're putting as reference. pero history has shown they have made mistakes and cost-cutting has made things turn out differently- kaya nagkaron ng market for these amps.

going back, this thread is about him sharing his opinions on these amps. doesn't mean it will suit everyone's tastes, it's about the tone to be found in these amps .

i would have to agree with this. it's not always about having mad skills to sound good. you can play very simple chords or licks but still wow an audience. music should always be pleasant to the ears of all listeners - performers and audience alike.

people here have to admit - you need good equipment to sound good. but let me clear this up before you mob me - good equipment need not be expensive, but they are definitely more expensive than crappy ones.

i've heard a lot of great musicians (in church, for example) that sound bad because of bad equipment. you can hear that they play smoothly but you just can't make yourself appreciate their music because of the bad sounding equipment they are using. it makes you say "sayang, kung mas maganda lang sana yung amp niya, lalo pang gaganda ang tunog niya.".  this is true to all types of musicians, not just guitarists - vocalists, keyboardists, etc.
