I've got Merch! https://lonelyrocker.myspreadshop.ca/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone loves a good Strat… but what happens when a boutique Strat-style “monster” shows up and dares to chase Fender on tone and feel? In this episode, I’m putting the Henry’s Snake II Strat-style guitar under the microscope in my home studio to see if it really has what it takes. I’ll walk you through clean, edge-of-breakup, and high-gain tones, plus some layered parts in a mix so you can hear how this thing actually sits in a real track – not just solo bedroom noodling. We’ll talk pickups, neck feel, tuning stability, noise, and how it responds to touch for lead and rhythm work. If you’re a Strat player wondering whether a non‑Fender can deliver the goods, or you’re just hunting for a killer studio workhorse, this video should give you a solid idea of what the Henry’s Snake II can (and can’t) do. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Social Media: The Lonely Rocker's Club on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lonelyrocker Instagram @lonely_rocker https://www.instagram.com/lonely_rocker/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@lonely_rocker Index 00:00 - Start 01:01 - Meet the crew 01:57 - Henry's Snake II Features 06:00 - Snake II in a mix 07:37 - Checking out the pickups 09:39 - What's in the box? 13:07 - Roast a viewer 14:35 - My thoughts 15:58 - Please Subscribe!

I've never tried Digitech or DOD pedals before. So I grabbed 5 of them, explored each one, and wrote a song using all of them. You'll hear samples right away, the full song at 0:58, and then we'll go back in time to discover each pedal.

But I'm flipping the script Tarantino-style: you'll hear the finished song first, then we'll go back in time to see how I discovered each pedal. 🎸 THE 5 PEDALS: • Digitech Whammy • Digitech Mosaic 12-String • Digitech FreqOut • Digitech Whammy Hammer On • DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 (50th Anniversary) 🎛️ GEAR USED IN THIS VIDEO: My ENGL Powerball II is the amp of chpice in this video, all routed through my Fractal FM9 which provides a V30 Cab IR and some reverb, that's it. For guitars I used my Balaguer Espada limited and my ESP LTD Deluxe Phoenix 1000. 💬 Let me know in the comments which pedal you want me to explore next, or if you have experience with any of these five. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Social Media: The Lonely Rocker's Club on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lonelyrocker Instagram @lonely_rocker https://www.instagram.com/lonely_rocker/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@lonely_rocker Index 00:00 - Start 00:23 - Digitech/DOD Pedals 00:57 - 5 Pedals in a mix 02:40 - Initital thoughts on the pedals 03:25 - Let's go back and discover the pedals! 04:01 - Whammy MonoNeon 06:37 - Digitech Mosaic 08:18 - Digitech Hammer On 10:24 - Digitech Freqout 12:20 - DOD OD/PRE 250 50th Anniversary 14:13 - My thoughts 15:03 - Please Subscribe!

I've got Merch! https://lonelyrocker.myspreadshop.ca/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this video, I'm showing you 3 recording methods that transform the Orange Terror Stamp from a small pedal amp into a massive-sounding studio tool. As a tube amp guy, I was skeptical about pedal amps for recording—but these techniques completely changed my mind. 🎸 THE 3 RECORDING METHODS: Method 1: Traditional Mic'd Cabinet Setup How to capture authentic amp-in-the-room tone with proper mic placement and gain staging for thick, professional guitar sounds. Method 2: Direct Line Out with Cabinet IRs Getting studio-ready tones straight to your DAW with impulse responses—the secret to huge guitar sounds without a mic. Method 3: Pedal Platform with Effects Loop Using the Terror Stamp as a foundation for your pedalboard while maintaining clarity and punch in dense mixes. You'll hear all components of all three methods in a full mix context so you can decide which approach works best for your home studio recording workflow. 🎛️ GEAR USED: • Orange Terror Stamp (20W Class A/B Pedal Amp) • ENGL 4x12 XXL Guitar Cab • Sennheiser e906 and MD421 Kompakt • Apple Logic Pro • IK Multimedia X-Time Whether you're recording metal, rock, or high-gain tones, these tips will help you get professional pedal amp sounds that sit perfectly in your mix without breaking the bank or your neighbors' patience. 📢 DISCLOSURE: This video is sponsored by Orange Amplifiers. All opinions are my own based on real recording sessions in my home studio. I only recommend gear I actually use and believe in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Social Media: The Lonely Rocker's Club on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lonelyrocker Instagram @lonely_rocker https://www.instagram.com/lonely_rocker/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@lonely_rocker Index 00:00 - Start 00:49 - My first pedal amp! 01:31 - All tones in the mix 02:47 - Tone #1 Breakdown 10:44 - Tone #2 Breakdown 16:25 - Tone #3 Breakdown 20:58 - My thoughts... 22:30 - Please Subscribe! #guitartone #orangeamps #lonelyrocker Video production services provided by http://spicedna.com For companion blogs and articles visit http://lonelyrocker.com All video content and original music is ©2025 Spice DNa where applicable.
