Update on this Washburn WT10V Wonderbar Trem System in 2024

 Is the Wonderbar still a thing now that it's 2024. Here's the Washburn WT10V which is a Tele type hybrid electric guitar. And here's my update for having this guitar kept and now it's out and I've done a bit of TLC to it. 

And here's like the part 2 where I managed to change the strings and it's working well now.

FoxGear Tweed 55 vs Mooer Baby Bomb 30

 

So in this video I've tried both pedal amps using same guitar and same speaker cabinet which was Laney 10 inch 30 watt DIY speaker cab. 

The interesting part is that FoxGear claims their product is 55 watts and Mooer is claiming only 30 watts. But when I tried them, it feels like the 30 watt is louder than the 55 watts. Although the Mooer is a bit distorted when you increase the volume so it's loud but distorted which might be a good thing for some people because you want it to saturate your amp or have a bit of breakage or crunch. But the FoxGear stayed clean even at full volume. But it felt like it's not that loud or I expected a lot because they said it's 55 watts. 

Hopefully, there's like an explanation to this. It's either the 55 watts that FoxGear was saying is peak and the 30 watts that Mooer is saying is RMS. 

So what I learned from this is that if you want a clean sounding gear then go for the FoxGear Tweed55 but if you want loud and noisy gig, then Mooer should suffice it.

Korg Ax1g Customised Patches and How It Sounds

 This little multi-effects pedal for electric guitar even though it's already vintage, I mean really old, can still impress you guys who have tried a more modern and sophisticated pedals. 

I bought this one on eBay because it's cheap and lots of good reviews. I think most of the videos I've watched are saying that their pedal is more or less 20 years old and when they got it out of their cupboard or loft, they were surprised how got it is still and on top of that it brings back good old memories when they were starting out to be a rockstar. 

So I decided to get one and try it myself. So here are some of the videos where I was using this Korg Ax1G and you decide if it's worth it to buy one for yourself. 

This was more of a soundcheck. Our very first song after we finished setting up. "Knockin on heaven's door by Bob Dylan semi GnR style."

Here's another one we did a cover of "December by Collective Soul." It was more of improvising because I think Im the only one who knows the song and just guide the rest of my bandmates on where the song goes.

And this last one is a fun improvisation jam to the song Every Breath You Take by The Police. We did this more of improptu after our break so everyone was just improvising to this one. 

The gear I used on these videos were:

• Lyon by Washburn
• Korg AX1G
• FoxGear Tweed55
• Zoom G1Four
• Generic 4x12 speaker cabinet
• Lekato WS50 guitar wireless system

Recorded at Untapped Talent Rehearsal Studios in Southampton

Gear4Music LA Select SSS Black FoxGear Tweed 55 and Korg Ax1G Sound Test

 Here are some of the videos where I was using this setup:

Gear4Music LA Select SSS Black plugged into Korg Ax1G into my portable mini head amp FoxGear Tweed 55 into a generic 4x12 Speaker Cabinet. 

This was during our setting up and sort of soundcheck whilst waiting for the drummer to finish setting up his kit at Pure Rehearsal Studio in Southampton.

I bought this second hand from eBay. So I got a good bargain. It has a chip at the side on the back. But the rest of it feels brand new. I did adjust it a bit because Im not used to a two-point trem system. But after I got hold of it, I really like this guitar.

JBL by Harman dual wireless microphone Best Mic 2024

 

We were surprised that JBL got microphone and then we purchased it. When we tried, it's amazing. Really great mic for the price. We bought a more expensive mic and this one is really good if not, better than the Behringer wireless mic that we bought. I mean it's subjective but for us, it felt that way.

We also managed to buy an alternative case or carry bag for this microphone because we want to keep it safe. Also it's tidier and easy for transport and use. Totally value for money.

Donner Vowel Volume and Wah Combo Pedal Demo Review 2024

Unboxing and demo of this Donner Wah Series, the Vowel (Volume and Wah combo pedal)

On here, I paired this Donner Vowel with my Zoom G1Four and they both complement each other. Perfect combination. 

 

This wah pedal got a good range and natural tone. Very easy to use. Plug n play almost. It doesnt come with a power supply so you need to have one ready. It DC 9v with negative centre polarity. I assume if you're buying this pedal, you probably going to add this to your rig or pedalboard and that would mean you already got a power supply for your pedals. 

Its small for your foot but it's not awkward to step onto. It's just that if you got massive foot, you wont be able to see the pedal but you can feel it underneath. It's very responsive and it's got LED light that turns from green to red. Green means volume and red is wah. Last but not the list the switch is very sturdy so you wont accidentally switch from volume to wah or while you're on wah, it wont accidentally goes back to volume. It's also not that hard to step on the switch to swap from volume to wah. So yeah it does the job done.
