How To Use Your Tube Amp At Home (and NOT get divorced)

Rhett just doesn’t understand the raw tone you get from a crushing divorce

Pro tip: don't get married and you won't get divorced👍🏻

That tone is straight up fire! The smoke was evidence.

Hey Rhett! Remember the golden rule - if you see smoke, you've let the magic out of the box :)

that beauty in your hands and the subject matter we are about to get into is exactly what draws me in to stick around for the video

4 minutes in and Rhett is literally on fire. This is the content I'm here for!

The advice for using an eq is gold. Gonna swap that out on the signal chain of my pod since I can only have 8 effects at one time. Thanks man.

Sometime back in the 1970s when Paul Rivera was working out of his garage, I had him build me an attenuator along with some of the mods he was doing on all the amps I used to bring over to him. I'd forgotten all about it until I saw this video. Rhett, your videos are some of the best I've seen. If I were still working in TV, I'd try talking you into becoming a TV show host doing pretty much what you're doing now. Not everybody has that ability. You do. I really enjoy your work on YouTube. Keep on keepin' on, man. And stay safe.

Thanks for this video Rhett I love your content, me and my tube amp have been separated for a while now, this video will help us establish a healthy relationship again.

Rhett, this has been the best video. I want to buy a new amp but drhought I was going to be limited with the amps I could choose. There’s no way I can have an amp blasting in my apartment. Thanks for showing me some techniques I hadn’t thought of.

Ciao Rhett. I am 56 years old ... I still remember the day when a friend of mine brought me the first Rockman from America ... having a nice distorted sound on my headphones, being able to play at night without disturbing anyone ... amazing, just try to think of mine mom, go from someone who exercises many hours a day with a Marshall JCM800 and a 4X12 ... to not hear anything anymore....she went to light a candle in honor of Tom Sholtz in the church near her house .... Greetings from Italy mate.

Haven't watched in a while but boy this ones got my eyes glued. Great ideas with the volume and eq pedals and love the speaker in the closet...

I built the iso booth version of the closet solution. I have it in the garage with a 4x12 in it and use it with cranked 100W and 200W amps. Works incredibly well.

I was so excited to run a wet/dry rig for the first time when I got a Fender Supersonic 22 and Marshal DSL40, but I live above a restaurant. So I ended up getting a Boss Katana and just ran it USB through a FocusRite - not the same experience at all. I needed this vid in the worst way. Thanks!

Hey Rhett! You are amazing!!! I am a church player and for past year I have been struggling to reduce the sound of my amp without getting the quality down. You my friend just gave solution to it and I try it today. What a sound my tube is giving me. For the first I really enjoyed the sound of my Marshall at a low volume and without breaking the quality of the tone. Thank you so much for making this video!!! May God richly bless you and give you more wisdom

Great recommendations. Good attenuators rock. On this note, I still went forward with a divorce a few years back. It's by far the most expensive solution, but in the end, I now do whatever I want. Volume is loud and good. Cheers.

I never thought about tube amps and divorce. You just gave me a great idea! Thanks Rhett!

My solution has been to use a klone set pretty clean at the front of my chain. Gives you back some of that "opened up" amp sound and tightness.

I have a captor x for my tube amps and its honestly changed my life. I love that thing.

I’ve got an old Tom Schults “Power Soak” I bought new in the ‘70s I use and it still works Great! Please keep up the Good Work and Cheers from Salem, Ohio!
