The Beatles or Wings will NEVER become irrelevant ..not in my book anyway 😉 I saw them at Shea Stadium in 1965 when I was 11yr. . I have seen McCartney a few times...he still at 81 puts on a 3hr show ! Incredible multi intrumentalies...he wrote the most melodic tune outside of Harrison's Something. . Thanks for doing a video on your thoughts on the Beatles.

Thanks John, your videos on the Zen drive have been great. Zen Drive and Jan Ray in Fractal are my favs

Hey, great video. You don’t experience any latency with this setup?

A Bigsby allows you to wobble and still have double stops and the ability to tune to drop D, so a great combo of fixed bridge and a tremolo? :)

At the more affordable end, consider trying some of the other Barber pedals - Gain Changer or Direct Drive. Barber’s Small Fry is their original take on the Dumble thing (Zen Drive). As you say, the Buss pedal is great but not in production. The Burn Unit is closer to the Dumble thing (and part of the evolution that included the Small Fry previously). I don't work for Barber, just a long time user of his stuff.

As a guitarist, I don't know why you're simply not in great demand and gigging constantly...you're such an incredible player John Cordy ! I love this channel, and listening to you play and so appreciate your reviews/demos. 😊

Dear owners of this guitar, is the fretboard lacquered? What's the size of frets, is it stainless steel?

wow ..love how you take the mystery out of an amazing lick! still out my reach.. but perhaps a segment with a solid week of practice. lol thanks!

Pretty sure it's pronounced *hot tone*!

Boy-oh-boy that’s a lovely tone Too bad we don’t have this for the FM9 🫣 Lovely playing, too (as always)

J Cordy is probably my favorite guitar player producing content today. This guy is a beast! I have played serious for 35 years and Cordy is on another planet man. Keep up the awesome work J...

Heh after the first note I opened Amazon to see whether they were available

TS has always been too Nasal for my taste. Zen does sound better here. NEVER underestimate the volume roll off on your guitar. It can really do great things with any pedal. I like to actually turn up the gain a bit on the pedal and roll off the guitar volume. It does a thing.

Nice Pattern and very well explained!

The licks at start of 7:42 are really GREAT!!! Nice Run!! This goes in the Favorites for sure!!! Very useFull and interesting!!!

Spice !!! More like hot jalapeños… this sounded sensational and I will attempt to mimic at least half a bar of those runs. Thanks again for your amazing work.

Not sure where people see fractal as HARDER to navigate or what ever. To me, you learn it and your done. Tone and feel is unmatched imho.

140 sounds good to me 🤣

Hey John, Much love from the Philippines✨

Nice and spicy - love it John!

Plenty of people gig, or have gigged, with archtops and drummers. It's perfectly possible, you just need the knowledge to control the feedback.

Could this power ampero 2 stage?

The Revo-1 amp & cab was the best metal amp selection Zoom ever put out, from looking around I don't see it in this little pedal. This particle verb are nice but it seems to be its star pedal only. The money shot for Zoom would be to create a duel 2 - DSP 48khz sampling rate, 128x oversampling converter and filter with 110-119db dynamic range mid size pro modeler, perhaps slightly bigger than the HX Stomp. Putting as many amp & cabs models as possible and include the Revo-1! A guitar modeler that's affordable and powerful for beginner, intermediate or pro level players across the board. If Zoom does that they will take a huge lions share of the guitar modeler market. There's too many young players coming in who are phenomenal players tier level guitar modelers and 44.1khz will get left behind. Everyone does guitar videos these days this is not audio track studio anymore, players want the best sound to be in their video compilations and that can only be achieved with 48khz sample rate frequency and superior dynamic audio range. Right now I see Nux leading the way since there's are the most affordable.

How about this idea "guitar + amp = acoustic instrument" ? If your amp is too loud - get a smaller amp :)

I bought one. It sounds great It plays beautify. It has an exceptional top and back too. Hear comes the but...I think Gibson really dropped the ball in terms of it's replica status. No gloss finish? No 50s wiring spec? No cherry Finish on the back? No nylon nut? No vintage correct tall trim rings for the pickups? No R9 spec ABR1 and stop bar? I really don't care to spend thousands more to have my guitar professionally damaged (aged). That said it's on it's way to Historic Makeovers and it'll return the way Gibson should have done it in the first place. Yes it's going to cost me more but not as much as an R9 would. And certainly not as much as a Murphy lab. Yes i do think it"s worth the effort. Sometimes you just have to go the extra mile to get what you want.

hi John, what do you think about using HX one with Tonex, instead of using with Hx stomp. thank you

I agree with most of what you say here. It's an awesome pedal and that Mr Ford uses it when he has to leave his Dumbles at home says it all. I've just sent you an Insta about mine, which is very, very rare, if you're interested. Cheers for the tones!

You're the first guy in a review that mentioned the ethic aspects of a good cheaper guitar compared to a more expensive American made guitar. Maybe it is an obvious thing but still, good that you bring up that aspect regarding guitars. Cheers!

I tend to change my strings about every 3-4 months. I play at church weekly, I start thinking it’s time to change strings when I notice it takes more time to land on the correct pitch in tuning. That’s my first indication that it’s getting time to think about it.

Every time I've bought a 4x12, it's felt like a great idea... For the first little while. Then it's just in the way until I sell it.

We need to talk about you playing soul less elevator muzak...

Thank God no Truefire Ads

Katana Go is a fantastic way to play an electric guitar ,no doubt ! But there is absolutely less information on the Headphone that nicely works with Katana Go .Yes there are plethora of Headphones that are capable to listen to the Katana Go but I think it's better to get information on the few headphones ( Budget to the premium ) which would give justice to the Katana Go .

Anyone who likes the Zendrive should try a Gladio (or the smaller SC version).

cute little kid ♥️

Stunningly beautiful sound and wonderful melodic playing. the bucker sounds cleaner and the P90's have a much drier sound and less output. H7 for me.

Curious how this would compare to the Warm Audio copy, if anyone has any experience comparing the two.

WarmDrive from Warm Audio does the Zen Drive perfectly for the fraction of the price... Highly recommended!

Alfonso made a good one! I’ve always enjoyed mine. Why we talking about it? Sounding good JC. Best, D

Your playing is the epitome of “it’s all in the fingers”. You play amps, modelers, pedals……whatever and it simply sounds like you. No matter what rig you’re using; it’s all VERY similar in tone at the end of day. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with that. Great channel. Thanks.

You should try the rockbox boiling point and the baby blues pedals.(hand painted versions ) they were super hyped and expensive in the early days of boutique pedals and still sound amazing.

Just spent an hour in the store on a GX100 and struggled a little bit. Dialling in a couple of edge of breakup amps, did love the responsiveness compared to the pod go but it just felt a bit more digital to my ears. Loved the fast patch changing but didn't pull the trigger on buying it over my pod go.

Стаким пикгардом Пацифика вряд ли выстрелит.

I have the Love ZenDrive - hate it, always sounds muddy to me (also dont like Tube Screamer either so its just not my taste :) )

I've had loads of zendrives and I am fortunate enough to have I'd say one of the best Dumble ods replicas in the world (no joke! go to my youtube for a listen) In my opinion, the magic of the zendrive is mainly with a bridge humbucker pickup. The thing just explodes with harmonics when pushed with this pickup or something like a P90, or a hot tele bridge. Neck pickup is not a vibe, Strat pickup just doesn't do it. The bridge humbucker is where this pedal really shines and does it's thing, and it has to be turned up. Lovepedal is currently doing old school build zendrives, and I can't tell the difference between it and my old original.

I have an original Zendrive. Love it. I've tried the Lovepedal various versions, which are also great, but not quite as good as the original. The Zendrive is great into a clean amp, and also works great before a Marshall in a box to push it into more overdrive. I have a Helix as well, and like the Dhyana drive model, which is close. The Zendrive in front of the Helix is a great "add a drive at any time" pedal.

I think I'll just rename all my favorite clean to 'edge of' tones as Dumble #1, #2, #3...... Then I'll be playing a Dumble all the time........🙄

Compared to Hx Stomp ( or Hx effects) , things worth mentioning in another video: 1. The Send-Return of the Hx are said to be noisy , what about the Mx5? 2. Less models but more slots-blocks and I haven`t found anything about Mx5 coming short of DSP when using all those slots with whatever is available ( does it mean you can easily have 2 holds/freeze or more in the MX5?) 3.What about the "quality" of the models, which one gets closer ( or better) to the modeled thing? for example: best Princeton Reverb 4. As for the routing possibilities, are they the same in both systems? 5.Having less models/effects, which ones do you miss most in the MX5 ( excluiding amps, cabs,distortions) , maybe poly shifting? Enough Delays and reverbs in the MX5 for an ambient player? Well, I think it is enough. Thanks for your videos.
