Carbon fiber guitars have been gaining popularity, but signature models in carbon fiber are still rare. This guitar review covers the build quality, playability, and tone of this unique signature guitar. Carbon fiber electric guitar construction offers durability and consistency that traditional wood guitars can't match. I'll compare this carbon fiber guitar to standard signature guitars and discuss whether carbon fiber is the future for signature models. If you're into guitar gear, acoustic guitar reviews, or exploring alternative guitar materials, this unboxing is for you. We'll look at the craftsmanship, hardware, and overall feel of this signature carbon fiber guitar. Whether you're familiar with brands like Enya guitar, Lava guitar, Klos carbon fiber guitar, or McPherson carbon fiber guitar, you'll want to see how this signature model stacks up.

Can you run a tube amp into an FRFR cabinet? In this video I test the IK Multimedia TONEX Cab as an FRFR speaker with 2 real tube amps - specifically the REVV D20 and Wangs VT-15.

The IK Multimedia TONEX Cab is built for the TONEX Pedal or Kemper, Helix, and Fractal units - but what happens when you plug in real tube amps instead? In this video I'm testing the REVV D20 and Wangs VT-15 through the TONEX Cab FRFR speaker. This is NOT the intended use case, so I cover the critical safety requirements including proper loadbox usage. The REVV D20 has a built-in reactive load, while the Wangs VT-15 requires an external loadbox. Does an FRFR speaker designed for digital modeling work for real tube amp tone? Can tube amp players benefit from FRFR portability without sacrificing feel and response? The results were... unexpected. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 01:00 - The Premise 02:04 - Revv G20 Into the TONEX cab 03:08 - Mic Setup 03:49 - TONEX Cab Details 04:37 - Wangs VT-15 Into TONEX Cab 06:35 - More TONEX Cab Details 08:14 - Hoe To Connect a Tube Amp To an FRFR Cab 11:32 - Swapping Cab IRs 14:00 - My thoughts 16:17 - Please Subscribe #tubeamplifier #tonex #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.

🎵 WHY THIS RUSH 2026 TOUR MATTERS: Rush has been one of the most influential progressive rock bands in music history. From their early albums like Fly By Night and Caress of Steel, through their masterpiece 2112, to the iconic Moving Pictures era with Tom Sawyer and Limelight, Rush has defined what it means to be a power trio in rock music. Geddy Lee's bass playing revolutionized how bassists approach their instrument - his Rickenbacker and Fender Jazz bass tones are legendary. Alex Lifeson's guitar work spans everything from heavy Gibson Les Paul riffs to ambient PRS soundscapes. And Neil Peart - the Professor - was simply the greatest drummer who ever lived, with his massive drum kits and unparalleled technical mastery. After Neil Peart's tragic passing in 2020, most Rush fans (myself included) assumed we'd never see Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson perform Rush music live again. This 50th anniversary tour announcement for 2026 changes everything for the Rush fan community. This isn't just a concert tour - it's a celebration of 50 years of musical excellence, technical mastery, and songs that have meant everything to millions of fans worldwide. From Anthem to YYZ, from The Spirit of Radio to Subdivisions, from Closer to the Heart to Red Barchetta, Rush's catalog is unmatched in progressive rock history. Whether you discovered Rush through their 70s prog rock epics like Hemispheres, A Farewell to Kings, and the legendary 2112 suite, their 80s synth era with Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, and Hold Your Fire, or their later work like Vapor Trails, Snakes & Arrows, and Clockwork Angels, this Rush 2026 tour is for YOU. For musicians like myself, Rush represents the pinnacle of instrumental virtuosity combined with intelligent songwriting. Geddy's bass lines are masterclasses in melodic playing. Alex's guitar solos and chord progressions have influenced generations of guitarists. Neil's drum parts are studied in music schools worldwide. This Rush reunion tour will feature the iconic songs that defined Canadian rock music and influenced countless progressive metal, hard rock, and alternative rock bands. Expect classics from every era of Rush's 50-year career. As a gear enthusiast and home studio musician, I've spent decades trying to capture the tones that made Rush's albums so iconic - from Alex Lifeson's Marshall and Mesa Boogie amp sounds to Geddy Lee's bass rig setup. This tour will showcase that legendary Rush sound live once again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 #rush #rushisback #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.

I've got Merch! https://lonelyrocker.myspreadshop.ca/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm at Guitar Summit 2025 in Mannheim, Germany, and this show delivered some serious gear announcements. Eric Klein from Line 6 gave me an exclusive walkthrough of the new Helix Stadium and Stadium XL amp modelers, and he hinted that Line 6 isn't done with the Helix lineup yet. ENGL Amplification surprised everyone by unveiling their first truly affordable amplifier - a game-changer for players who want that legendary ENGL tone without the premium price tag. Beyond the big announcements, I connected with Derek from Revv Amps, explored the reality of tube supply issues with Lichtlaerm Audio, checked out new pedals from Earth Quaker Devices, and discovered innovative gear from Zilla Cabs, VIV Amps, Jay Dee Amps, and more. This is real-world coverage from the show floor - no scripts, just genuine conversations with the people building the gear we all use.

We ended up in an isolation booth at Guitar Summit 2025 with absolutely no information about the guitar product we were testing. No specs. No instructions. No clue. So we attempted a professional gear review anyway.

I've got Merch! https://lonelyrocker.myspreadshop.ca/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is what happens when two guitar YouTubers end up in an isolation booth at Guitar Summit 2025 and try to sound knowledgeable about a guitar product they have zero information about. No product specs. No instructions. No idea what the mystery modification even does. Just two guys attempting to deliver a professional gear review with absolutely nothing to work with. Carsten Stepanowicz (@CarstenStepanowicz) joined me for this hilarious disaster as we fumbled through random observations, questionable testing methods, and zero before-and-after comparisons. Pure chaos and laughter from start to finish. Guitar Summit 2025 was incredible - this was just one of many memorable moments from the event. Sometimes the best content comes from having no plan at all. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Video Start 00:08 Carsten Rips It Up 00:46 Random observations begin 01:34 More Noodling 02:08 Dan gives it a shot 02:44 Dan's first impression 03:24 Our worthless conclusion #guitarsummit2025 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.
