Atomic Ampli-Firebox Review

The one I have been asked for for quite a while now! Here is the review of the Atomic Amps Ampli-Firebox, featuring sounds for those of you who like that kind of thing. There is so much to say about this product, it is best summed up in a video I think! Like this one.....

Brucie’s Pedalboard Challenge Video Series

PB-challenge.jpg

The premise is simple, can I make myself the smallest possible ‘giggable’ pedalboard? Also, can I make it versatile enough not only for gigging, but for teaching and recording as well??Now that is the question! So I have produced a series of videos which show the journey of my quest, culminating in a final video which demonstrates each of the sounds that board can produced. The heart (and brains) of the board is the Atomic Amps Amplifirebox (AFB or Ampli-firebox depending on where you read it’s name!). The whole challenge it to fit this on to a Pedaltrain Nano+ board.....can it be done??Sit back and enjoy....For more information.....Pedaltrain Nano http://amzn.to/2DqvYlAMooer Rumble Drive http://amzn.to/2DtW47vTC Flashback Mini http://amzn.to/2DRHjrKTC Polytune http://amzn.to/2DtrHgxIbanez TubeScreamer Mini http://amzn.to/2EXQNBiTrex Fuel Tank Jr http://amzn.to/2DxfUxuEnjoyPeaceNeil

In this video I discuss how keeping a learning diary can help you with you learning and understanding of any subject (and guitar of course). Just making notes of what you have learnt and more importantly, what stuck in your mind on a daily basis can work wonders for you understanding, confidence and learning objectives.I always use one of these http://amzn.to/2FwSSo6, have done for years and years!!EnjoyPeaceNeil

Line 6 Helix Adding a guitar amp with bass amp : Getting a great tone

Have you tried combining a bass amp with a guitar amp to get a great tone? Then you should!! It really works!!This works for both the Line 6 Helix and Helix LT.What I am doing here is adding a clean Fender style amp with a SVG Bass amp in parallel to it and blending the two together and then running them through the effects section. It can add a really nice depth and warmth (and ofcourse low end to the tone).Try it, what have you got to loose?EnjoyPeaceNeil

A message not to all millennials who may be watching this but to all of us, young and old. Following on from my recent video on the Hans Zimmer Masterclass (https://youtu.be/udvc2K_A5EY) and the comments, I thought it time to address the issue further.I am so YOUTUBE generation, but learning and EDUCATION is hard.EnjoyPeaceNeil
