@@a.s.2426 thank you! 🤘🏼

@@jameswhite3667 yeah man awesome pickups 😎🤘🏼

@@ubertwerpify hey thanks man 🤘🏼 That's exactly my personal rating in this scenario 👍🏼 As you say the OCD might be sick into a bit cleaner amp!

@@JamesFlorio-ti8gc hey man thanks for watching! It stays in tune very well! But locking tuners would be awesome especially for quick string changes. It's not my guitar unfortunately:) but the neck is to die for and shaped my ideas for future guitars

@joapguitar yes I've held that guitar in my hands and played a few times the quality and neck feel is definitely there....I do suggest if you haven't tried to get a Guthrie Govan MIJ and try it out. Very similar feel except the roasted maple neck is absolutely insane on the MIJ stuff

@JamesFlorio-ti8gc funny you should mention the Guthrie Govan because that's the next guitar I get for reviewing here on the channel 😁👍🏾

@@joapguitar oh yeah 👍🏻 you going to love that thing lol looking forward to your demo brother have a merry Christmas 🎄

@@JamesFlorio-ti8gc oh boy the next year will start smoothly then 🎅🏿🤘🏼 Merry Christmas to you too, mate! See you in 2025🎸🔥

Thanks mate! 🎅🏿🤘🏼

hey man thank's for watching! I bit more affordable would indeed be cool! It's around 3,5 k here in Germany. But the guitar is really well made I got a give that to the Charvel Custom Shop! Looking forward to the purple burst then 🤟

Hey man that is very interesting to hear, thanks! It's a very characteristic sound and when it comes down to pedals it's a very individual choice. I hope this video helped you ;)

@@joapguitar I concur with what you wrote.

Thanks mum 😂❤

@frtlzr_official 😁💙🤟

glad you enjoyed it, mate! 🤟

Hey man, I haven't played the BE-100 so far! It is on my list though ;) I played the BE-50 DLX and felt that this one sounds a bit more modern than the Smallbox 50. I think it has a bit more gain and tightness. I usually get that extra gain and tightness from my pedals, but if I'd need the chug some extra low and heavy metal chords the BE-50 would be a better fit in my opinion.

@ yeah I had a BE50 and traded for the 100 cause I wanted the Plexi channel but I honestly think I like the tone of the Smallbox better

@The2ndProtectsTheRest interesting! Have you tried the PLEX as well?

@ no not yet, when I first found out it was being released I was super stoked and I wanted one, because I'm a huge Jimmy Page and Van Halen fan, but then I realized that I want a little more versatility, because even though I love the Plexi sound, that's really all you get out of it, which is fine and I don't use effects loops anyway. I'm a dirty player and like to slam everything into the front of the amp, I just like different tonal options by having a second or in some cases even a 3rd channel, so that started my journey towards either the Smallbox 50, the Wildwood edition Smallbox 50 or even the JEL 50. I'm heavily gravitating towards that circle of 3. Play everything from that late 60's early 70's classic rock tone all way into the late 80's metal style. I'm really not into modern metal at all. E flat tuning and occasional drop D is as low as I play.

@@The2ndProtectsTheRest I heard from 4 different people that the SB50 Wildwood Edition is a killer amp. Never tried one though ;) I also don't need the modern chug tone in a tube amp at the moment. The SB50 really covers a wide area of tone, I love it ;)

@@myuncle2 certainly some barockin tunes there 😎🤙

@@joapguitar 👍

@@Tommy712rus what do you mean? That the OCD is a marshall?

@joapguitar it's a marshall in a box pedal

You already have a good sound 🙂 But for overdrive, tube screamer or boss sd will be better

@Tommy712rus yeah I don't enjoy the OCD into the Marshall as well... But many people do

Hey man, as you said: both of them are great amps. The Variac switch on the Helios doesn't do much for me I'm not sure if the Master needs to be quite cranked to get a more drastic effect. I found it to be very subtle. And yeah man the Smallbox is a beast with Killer Master volume and loads of usable gain. I love it

Hey Benjamin thank you! Yes, I take the level down by 20 dB and get the master up to around 4 in the video. Without the rockcrusher that level would literally crush me in the room 😁 With the Friedman SB I also don't notice a big tone difference when the master is around 2... it's a very good master volume! I hear about the Ceriatone amps more often these but never heard or even saw one ;)

Hey Yoshi thank you very much :)🤘

back to the roots mate ;) I totally understand - there's just something special about an original Marshall Plexi! I sold the Bogner Helios today and will probably put a JCM800 or Plexi in the Studio as soon as I have the funds

@@joapguitar Nice Honestly depending on location, I'd just get a Ceriatone All Access Plexi and be done lol

@dannyk1790 I never saw that amp here in Germany. If I do I'll certainly try it out 👍🏾

@@joapguitar oh they're generally made to order. You can check them at their site. Just google "Ceriatone amps" and it should be the first hit

Hey James, thank you for the kind words! Yeah man the pickups are awesome! I am just struggling a bit with the feedback they create at high volumes due to not being potted. How do you use the BK mules?

I was also considering getting a BE-100 but I guess I never need the 100 W of power ;) Yeah the Friedman customer support is crazy good. The difference I would say is that the Bogner is built in much lower numbers and thus has more of an artsy, boutiquy, unique appearance.

treat yourself, buddy ;)

@@joapguitar so is it more of plexi or jcm 800

@jessetate9701 hey man I'd say it's a different animal... Basically it's a new thing that sounds darker and more muscular than a Marshall to me. More single note definition and sustain

@ that’s good! I’ve had my heart set on it for years! Either the combo or the head version

@jessetate9701 did you play one already?

hey Dom, it really gets very sparkly with those Marshally harmonics when you play lightly. I'll do a similar video with the Friedman Smallbox soon ;)

Thank's mate :)

thx buddeeyyy :)

@@jake13b Kaptain Koerg logo? 😎🤟 Tell me what you love about the Bogner 😏

@@joapguitar i mean, they both sounds amazing. bogner just seemed super open and bloomed more full. i could hear that chimeyish growl that one would think of a hot rodded plexi to to sound like. esp in the 80s mode.

@jake13b thx for the feedback 👍🏾 are you from captain Koerg guitars?

@@leftygtrplr6184 hey buddy thanks a lot 😎🤟 The bogner feels a bit thinner and harder to play under the fingers just like a marshall jcm800 or Plexi would do. I love the Smallbox for soloing... That appears to be exactly my sound! The bogner has killer tones in it too but it's not my comfort zone... But we are talking small differences here, both amps are killer 😃🔥

I have that one. It’s the best amp I have. I feel it’s less stiff too. The Helios I use with a pedal it feels better. Without it I’d go with the smallbox wildwood spec’d.

@@Utube-s8m yeah man I think you are the 4th person recommending the SB Wildwood edition! Must be one hell of an amp but it's hard to find here in Germany!

Yeah I tried these as well! Also great amps. For the Plex I'd go with a pedal to get my solo tones. I just played it at the Guitar Summit this year so I still need to do an in-depth test ;)

@@joapguitar Oh yes, it's one of those pure classic vintage tone that really needs a quiet environment to be appreciated.

thank you very much. The Blackbox really is a keeper ;) The OCD I liked the least

@@RTGuitar10 hey man in the next videos I'll do more close micing

@@joapguitar Cool! I'll check it out!

@@Stereostupid you are perfectly right 👍🏾

yeah mate the real fun starts in the room with the master at 4!

@@peterknicked you are correct, sir 😎🤟

when you know, you know ;)

yeah man you are right! So whats the real amp ;)

hey mate you guessed right, B is the real amp! The only reason they could sound boxy would be my IR Loader... And the fact that there's absolutely no EQ or reverb or delay or compression on the audio files. Do you reckon other amp sims would win agains the 2203 in my video?

sank ju for your vote

B is the real amp :)

That's interesting! Totally my experience as well... you have to fiddle around like a MF to get the Amp Sim Sound close to the real amp. The real amp is still more dynamic if you listen closely but for some heavy rhythm strumming I doubt you could really hear it in a mix. Some lighter picking and playing with the volume knob mostly reveals the amp simulation. Cheers man!

@@leftygtrplr6184 hey lefty! I'd use the Smallbox 50 for any lead guitar stuff. And heavy rock rhythm guitar. The bogner I'd use for more classic rock rhythm when it's supposed to sound more like a traditional Marshall

Hey Johnny thank's for sharing your perspective. Sounds like a sick setup you have! I need to use the power soak when I am here in my home studio... but I love turning it up! Cheers man enjoy your amp as well! 😎🤘

@@joapguitar It's really nice with a simple cheap tc flashback mini with the 2290 tone print and a strymon big sky reverb. Then the amp really comes alive. Sometimes hearing the amp dry doesnt tell you everything you need to know. It sounds really good with anything time based in the loop. But I like to just keep it simple.

@@johnnyb3987 hey Johnny I have to admit that I haven't gigged the amp so far and have not used the FX Loop! Just recorded dry amp sound 😁 But I actually took the SB50 because I wanted to have the FX Loop for concerts. Thanks for the reminder!

thank's Jonathan :) it's a custom build from a small Bosnian guitar builder called "QRich"

that is too kind of you, thanks 🫂

Thank you kindly! Tone is everything 🙂🤌
