very kind of you - glad you could make an informed decision based off my video

Chinese guitars have gotten WAY better in terms of quality and consistency. I've been impressed in the past 5 -6 years or so.

I'm on the blue channel exclusively (the red is far too saturated and kind of unusable). I have my bass at 7, the mids at 4 and trebles are cranked most of the way up. I can't remember if they are at 10 or 9, but somewhere in that range. It's a great amp!

DUDE!!! Thank you so very much for your reply and for your help! Additionally I'm still trying to dial in my Envelope filter (Tim Mahoney)"Amber"/Champaign" sounds. I just purchased a "Keeley Neutrino" pedal as a guitar buddy recommended it as a waaay better pedal than the EH "Q" series pedals. and am having issues trying to match the sound. Any recommendations?

thank you very much

It's holding up very well - I've humidified it since the beginning and recently invested in room humidifier for all my guitars that keeps it consistently at 50%. It went through a winter stretch where the binding was under/overhanging by like a fingernail and I humidified it a little more consistently and got rid of that. It's been a workhorse of a guitar and a complete tone machine.

Same here - I played many D-28s and the mahogany sings more to me and my ears

my pleasure - those sounds are exactly why I bought this pedal!

Point noted - because I bought this used I went off the usual HD-28 specs which they clearly changed for this 12 string. A typical 6 string HD-28 always stands apart by using forward shifted scalloped bracing. My guess is by keeping the braced non-scalloped in the 12 string model they increase the integrity of the top, especially with twice the string pressure.

It's funny, you can watch my review of the Martin D-18 on my channel. I fully switched my sound to a mahogany instrument and it's such a woody, organic tone. I know exactly that model you mean. It used to be that Martin had the Mahogany Custom D for $799 I think and the Rosewood for $899 at the time of their inception. Might have $999, I can't remember. Both guitars are such great value being all solid woods and essentially poor man's D-18 and D-28's respectively. I personally loved the simplicity of the design appointments and the tortoise binding. One thing I'll say though is that without much finish on them (to save a lot of cash) they are very susceptible with weather and temperature changes. Mine was way off when I got it used - the previous owner had really dried out. I had to re-humidify it patiently and it took like 2 weeks to get it back to a playable action. Then I took it to Martin a they put a shim under the nut. I was blown away by how it played so evenly across the fretboard. But being in PA, going into winter and then into summer, I always had a bit of action issues and string slap. Take care of yours and it'll last you a very long time - congrats on that purchase.

It is truly superb

I use .10s, it's pretty much all you should use if tuning to standard. 12 strings also sound really full and nice dropped to Eb, but I can never bring myself to do that. Because of the major tension caused by an extra set of strings pulling on the top and bridge, most suggest the .10 gauge. It's light, but keep in mind every note is doubled so it still sounds full. I'm sure there are heavier gauges to try, but most people would detune those and then capo up for standard E tuning.

It would have been probably a 7 on the bass, 4 on the mid, and 10 on trebles. The amp itself was quite mid-rangey which is why I got rid of it, but in the context of a band it was great. Clean channel was amazing - but some people really chase that tone and it works for them, I like a more scooped sound personally and switched to a 5150 III head

I absolutely love Guild 12s, they are the masters of that particular style of guitar, but I do think this Martin has something else in it that the others do not. I played 2 different lower priced Guild 12s before I settled on this and I'm extremely happy. It's an exquisite instrument and the most valuable one I own.

long since had it taken to Martin and they put a shim under the nut. Made completely playable, but I've since sold it

and long before the trend happened haha

It's definitely on the soundtrack which is where I heard it first and the most. It was on A Boy Named Goo as well, but that Angus soundtrack was stellar! I had that in my CD player quite a bit

Hey Chris - I would always recommend playing all those models in person. The D-16 is a more D28 style but stripped down with that matte finish. I have not played either of those Yamaha's but they always offer great value in their guitars. I think the D-16E is a great value for getting all solid woods including fretboard and bridge.

Well thank you for finding it all these years later! UA-camr is getting old, man haha. I can't believe it's been that long.

@@ia5662 man I feel you on that haha! Time goes by wayyy too fast!!

Hello, at the latest it was early 90s I believe, but whenever they ran the power supply out of the pedal itself as a plug, that's what era you are looking for. I believe they did that all the way though the 80s on this particular model and some of the 90s before they switched over to an AC plug style like today's pedals have.

When did that make that model? Is it flat braced as opposed to scalloped? They don't offer now, I know that. Maybe you mean the Gilmour model? I never got a chance to play that one, but I really would love an opportunity with that sinker mahogany body.

means a lot, thank you!

Aye! Alright - that's great, glad this video was of some use even though I totally skipped a verse haha

Thank you!

Thank you kindly

The green one - it was the original Electric Mistress, not the Deluxe, but this was the closest to that release.

@@ia5662 have you heard of the new "walking on the moon pedal" electro Harmonix have brought out?

Thanks man, it's definitely my favorite song of their entire repertoire. I listened to it on the Angus Soundtrack on a soccer trip to Germany in 1998 nonstop!
