My testing wasn't done through a fuzz pedal. I am not the creator of that video. I used my various guitars straight into my Rivera, with nothing else plugged in. The variances were very similar to what was heard in the video.

People are strange. I ended up choosing the random, no name jack I probably ripped out of some guitar that came across my bench. You think that would be the opposite of cork sniffing but hey.... You are absolutely correct! Everything in the chain makes a difference. Some moreso than others. In...

You know what's funny - I have a friend who EJ was a frequent customer of. Said to sell him any cables, you had to send him an entire box full of them, and he would buy the ones he liked and send all of the rest back. Same with selling a guitar to him. He had to have a good cable he said...

A guy does a comparison of some tonal differences between jacks, and this is the comment you decide to leave? Pure genius.

I'm more of an Old Testament kinda guy. More "wrath" in the moment, know what I mean?

Yes, just installed the random jack again. Could NOT stop playing. Didn't have to turn a bunch of knobs to try to get the sound I wanted...there it is again.... So weird. I would never have ever guessed.

So, I am not certain if it is just my setup that reflects all of these minute changes so well but my experiences are matching the video note for note. 1) -Cliff jack. Everything was rounded. Not bad overall, but could definitely be better. The guitar hides a bit behind the gain and low/top...

The fact they even tried to replicate the boxes is utterly disgusting.

Find a Griffin Analog variant and go..... The Supa Dupah Drive would be a good shot.

Why does Oh, you thought those were expensive? Check out these I just found in Houston, Texas: https://wathenspeakers.com/products/12ax7-wcl-long-plate-standard?variant=50003928776994

I absolutely hate when companies do this. Let's take the name of something that was good, and try to trick you into buying cheap garbage with it....

Just a goof, not a pedal but..... I NEED ONE:

💯💯💯

Correct. The longer the plate, the larger the 'sound stage'. This is typically described as added "depth" or "dimension". I put long plates in every slot that can handle it.

I have a Rivera Clubster Royale, basically a Blackface and tweed in one. This particuar amp shines with the RCA 6v6 smoked glass, that being said, quite a bit has changed in my setup, and it would not hurt to do some rolling! As far as input stages on my particular amp - nothing can seem to top...
