I thought he ended up dropping out, because he realized he knew more than everyone else anyways.
his schtiick shit is tiring for sure - equally annoying to many is that he proves his points very well on some hotly debated guitar nerdy topics
I personally have never owned a tube amp and have never experienced something pushing a lot of air in a room, so I guess I never got it in my head that it was what a guitar is "supposed" to sound like. I always wanted it to sound like the albums I liked, which at the time I had zero understanding of how a produced guitar tone might be different from what it sounds like in person.I am definitely in this camp. Most amp in the room sounds I've heard are to me sonically garbage. Yeah they are fun to play with because of all the power and volume, but the speakers are highly directional so there's a small sweet spot where it might sound decent. Most live acts I see tend to use mic'd cabs on stage through the PA anyway, apart from maybe some small clubs or bars. In those cases modellers through a PA or FRFR tend to sound better to me as well. I don't really see what the obsession some people have with getting an amp in the room tone is. If you like that sound, get an amp, put it in a room, and there you go
+1 - went to live shows and listened to studio recordings for years before taking up guitar so was never exposed to aitr, only knew mic'd cab. I thought the first guitar amp I owned was broken it sounded so bad to my ear - not like the mic'd cab sound I understood to be how an electric guitar sounds. Modellers / plugins on the other hand sounded great / recognizable to me when I started guitar, but I plodded on buying amp after amp, cab after cab, and attempting to config modelling to aitr, looking for that glorious tone the aitr crowd tells me awaits and that I would never get with modelling - still haven't found it - closer than I ever was to "getting it" but not there yet - maybe never will as my tinnitus now prevents me from cranking the volume too much to provide the one aitr element I do understand / appreciate well which is the coupling volume provides to enable greater sustain.
I'm with you dude. Except I DID play through tube stuff. I remember absolutely cranking the tone on my TS pedals and the presence on my Bugera 6260, I would wonder why the SM57 recorded sounds came across so much punchier and with those high mids. Had no real concept that so much of a metal guitar sound is due to 57's.
Those are just spammers / phishers, not his account.
probably not him as mentioned above - he mentioned in a recent vid that his subscribers are getting scammed by imposters claiming to be him in his video comments, offering prizes to others commenting.
Dont do stuff like this. This is exactly what Glenn wants. He wants interaction on his videos which drives views which drives the algorithm. Its sad yes, but that is the state of youtube and guitar youtube in general. If you dont like someone on youtube, just ignore them.
For everyone here, when a commenter on YouTube says telegram, 99% it's a scam.
It was the same on Reddit when they wouldn't stop ƒucking talking about that Šhithead Logan Paul, and I had to remind them about The Simpsons - Just Don't Look (I can't post links yet). Glenn is very insufferable, and I don't think I ever really learned anything from him on mixing. In fact, URM was just as unhelpful, but just sitting down and mixing the STEMS from URM was in fact the most valuable tool to learn to mix.

This is a funny one. When I come across these recorded tube amp vs modelled videos most will pick the modelled recording as the tube amp. Why? Because they have a notion that the tube amp is going to “sound better”. The fractal model will have less thermal noise as Cliff purposely doesn’t model this. So the model tends to sound “clearer”. Most seem to think that sounds better. So they pick it to be the tube amp.
