D35

Great comparison thank you. It would be fab if you did a vid on how you installed each one?

my friend, congratulations, you have achieved perfection in the performance of Clpaton's songs. How did you study to be able to play like him? My dream is to play his songs well, on my channel I have several of his songs. But I don't think it stays the same.... Tell me how you got it.

Great video. I wish you would have 1. Shared what bass and treble settings were on the ES2, and 2. tested the baggs with mic at least to 50%.(why would anyone buy one and not use the mic?). I appreciate your efforts and it is still a great comparison video. Thanks

Great tone and playing!!

Uh our only 30 beats too slow

I wish this video was properly recorded with mics! But it is still cool!

I have sang that song with Petty Rumours for over 10 years. You play it absolutely beautifully! Nicely done!

Stock ES2 sounds better when you compare them all dry and lazy, but each will sound totally different when throwing in a bunch of the necessary processing. However replacing the system on a Taylor is a waste, the ES2 is something that makes Taylors unique compared to alternatives and it sounds more organic than any undersaddle (with that said an undersaddle with tons of processing definitely has its thing)

I need to hear them in a bluegrass jam to see which one cuts best. Iv heard some great martins in jams.

Very-very thanks!

Wow! ❤

The "Tri-Chorus" function in the Line 6 M5/M9/M15 series of stompboxes provideis a ireally really good approximation of that Clapton chorus from the Journeyman->24 Nights era. It feels characteristically "1980s-like" to me, but I like it a lot. I haven't found anything yet that gives me equal or more control between the raw drive power that Clapton manages to get by combining that 25 dB mid-boost in his guitar with an incredible amp like the Soldano. I can get to good tones with boost pedals or good amplification, but you can't actually PLAY the voice of the guitar and the depth of its expressions at the same time as you're playing the notes. Stomping form rhythm to lead tones feels like a really inorganic, jarring way of doing what Clapton does naturally with the controls right on his guitar. But I've also never realy liked the idea of this mid-boost right onboard. What I think will work for me, and I'm eager as heck to try, is to use something like the Strymon Sunset, or one of a VERY small similar pedals, that lets you run two boost/overdrive channels in a variety of series/parallel configurations--and THEN lets you plug in an expression pedal to control, specifically, the level of a mid-EQ'd boost and/or Klon-like Germanium overdrive just as easily as you'd adjust a volume/wah pedal. If anything, I think that will work BETTER for me as it'll let me keep both hands on the guitar rather than fiddling constantly with the mid-boost knob as EC does during the tonal shifts in his lead lines. Whatever you do--and it sounds like you're nailing it here--go after the tone that sounds best to you and accept that it's a blessing to get very, very close to Clapton's sound from an iconic record 33 years ago... but a curse to duplicate that sound with perfection. Get 99.999% of the way there, and you'll be a very good knockoff of something better. Get 90-95% of the way there, and fill the gap with a sound that you love, and you'll still sound just like Clapton to most listeners, and a true original to those who listen carefully enough.

D12 !

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤eric i love you😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice show😊eric the love of my life

Very nice. I've got a '76 Vibro Champ in a Mojotone 12" cabinet; this might be the ticket. Tube Screamer and TS variants all sound harsh and jagged through the Fender; this pedal sounds very musical.

D-28 for me I have never found a D-18 that I've ever liked,The D-35 comes in second ive had many many Martin guitars i only kept my 1980 Martin D-28 its in munt condition with original case still have the key to the case,I also have a Gibson J-45, Taylor guitars are my favorite I bought all guitars new 2015 614ce,2019 614ce Builder's Edition SB V brace.2018 814ce DLX V brace,2015 816ce,2015 914ce,2018 K-24CE Little Martin and Baby Taylor.I had twelve Martin guitars including a D-45 I just don't connect with Martin guitars sold all Martin guitars except the 1980 and as you can see I absolutely love Taylor Guitars im really blessed with all these beautiful great sounding guitars, Gibson and Guild are my second favorite guitars I think there are some really good Martin guitars but you have to hunt pretty hard to find one this is why I'll never part with this 1980 D-28.I been playing guitar for almost sixty years so I think I know really exceptional guitars when I play one on how it feels and sounds I don't want a guitar that I don't love. I could talk about guitars all day and night long it's a passion I have and love.

ES 2 it sounded the best. This is exactly the sound I am looking for. Sharp and clear, one that will shine through in the mix. That's why I bought the GS mini e koa plus.

I have a D18, but if you listen to this presentation, I hear very little difference between the D12 and the D35. I have played many D28 and have always consided it to be, on average, a crisper sound (what ever that may mean to you), but no matter which one your choose, your'll get a gem. D12 sounds great.

Quel respect pour le blues. Merci.

The D18 sounds more balanced to me. Of course this is personal, but…to me, it sounds like exactly what an acoustic guitar is supposed to sound like

I just bought the Martin D12e today

Thank you for sharing, good show, greetings!

Do you use the guitar vol pot to clean up the sound? What are your current settings?

ua-cam.com/video/mGjh4j5JfwI/v-deo.html I use this video to show the EQ showing the Hz at 100hz. When looking at the offerings of Acoustic guitar pickups there must be allowance for the OEM price point as related to manufacturing cost. My break down on the price point tells me that the manufacturing cost on most is about $8. The Taylor is an exception, it is clear that they are attempting to provide something better, but there are a lot of people who find the sound undesirable regardless. I have it from a source who was directly exposed to the manufacturing issues. The ES1 was causing problems in final assembly. A fluid in the top sensors was coming out and the magnet inside was vibrating. The foreman is the patent holder of the ES 2, John Hosler, and I assume it was designed to correct the issue. Personally, I am not a fan of the 3 holes in the bridge and question its long term durability under load. There is a drop-in replacement that corrects the overly bright sound of the ES2. In looking at this video I want to point out that the frequency graph shows a bump at around 100hz. This is by design. Its their attempt to provide bass response and by our calculations the gain is about 35 DB. I am co owner of Go Acoustic Audio. goacousticaudio.com We did not get into this business to serve only Taylor sound. It was my need for High vol stage sound for my own guitars that drove me to find a solution. mcgillguitars.com I have been known for high Vol. stage guitars for 25 years. The #1 issue for us was feedback resistance. The second was string balance. The touch sensitivity and dynamics followed beautifully, allowing players to not be altering attack to avoid pickup tonality from over taking their performance. I offer 3 videos here. one is a Taylor. which is last. first is one of Nashville's most celebrated guitarists, Jack Pearson is playing a 00 Alvarez model. He could not play slide on an amplified acoustic before using our system. please excuse the cell phone distortion. the system is louder without feedback or distortion. ua-cam.com/video/i71taytLxks/v-deo.htmlsi=dfr96X9sZe1s6jwM Next is a National finger style champion at Winfield, Shane Adkins. Please do not presume this was staged. It was shot in a hotel room and Shane had never played the system before. They shot him to capture his reaction in real time. ua-cam.com/video/II9SNQ0bu7U/v-deo.htmlsi=lWZVyPmqkELGq0hC Lastly is Roger Hudson. This is a Taylor 314 and is recorded direct through a Neve mike pre into a mixing console. There is an internal mike in our system. The EQ was set flat. We recorded one system, changed it out, and re recorded the other for a comparison between the ES 2 and our replacement, which is a direct fit preamp, featuring 6 individual vol pots for each string, in the same guitar. To control feed back we use individual string amplification and engineer the strings separately before summing into the singular output signal. ua-cam.com/video/lowOyyPtm2E/v-deo.htmlsi=dD639ROeZ9UQ6vP9

I felt that the tone improved each time you went up the line.. I did expect more bottom end from the D-35 though.

It appears there are more cream fans imagine that I'm not to surprised lol

oh man the jump from the d-18 to the d-28 is a whole other level. To me the 28 is the best of the bunch

Good stuff! On a 1/10 scale, how satisfied are you with your Stagepas 200?

1- D28 (nice****) 2- D18 (nice***) 3- D12 (**) 4- D35 (BAD sound GUİTAR) thanks.. .. .

And about of D 16 M

I love Rosewood, it sounds almost like someone turned the “ reverb” up haha you know what I mean? I had a 16 special that was solid Rosewood, it was very clear, and had a A lot of treble, but I sold it and bought a D18, and I think the sound is pretty much perfect on it. I kind of liked the D18 the best here. The rest are amazing though obviously too,

Killed it!

Shut your gob Keith & just play your guitar 😂

Formidable James coton deep in the blues

ES2

You are incredible

I'd have the D35.

Eric the love of my life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for playing the guitar for me. I'm considering a martin d-12e. I think it's better to get the d-18 or something higher.

e945

🎸👏👍

I have two martins. The hd-28 and d-35. It depends on what I'm playing and where I'm playing. I am fortunate. I guess if I had to choose I would take the hd-28 but thank goodness I haven't had to make the choice. I also have a Gibson j-45 which gives the martins a run for the money. I actually bought the Gibson when I went to get a d-18.

I see the capo at the 2nd feet, are you tuned out of standard?

Incredible job Michael!
