    The Donner clean tone sounded like the radio guitar on the intro to Wish You Were Here to me. Would be a pretty cool tone to have.

      Great observation. Thanks for joining the dialog here.

    I like the concept of comparing small amps, although as a blind test, I think most of us (and the testers) would know what the brands were

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  Год назад +7

      Agreed! The idea was just to make sure the focus was on the sound and features, not the brand. Hopefully you and others will find this helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Glad you liked the Blackstar Fly 3. I have two of them and an ext cab. Also have a Blackstar Core ID V3 10 but mostly play with the Flys as I am so impressed with them.

      Great to hear from a Blckstar Fly 3 owner, we certainly enjoyed it. Thanks!

    I love this so much! For apartments and less affluent players this is so great. I have the honey tone.

    The Blackstar and the Nux are really great sounding mini amps. Totally a beginner, but looking for a small amp to simply use for practice anywhere in the house. These two are clear winners. Thanks for a great video comparison. Loved each ones input and playing.

  • @frankwalsh8925

    I would go with the gear guys and vote for the Blackstar.

    I have an Orange Mini and the thing they miss, maybe I've not understood well, is that Orange mini has the output for a real speaker and can also function as a mini amplifier with Orange tone. Not bad!!! This was my turning point in choosing it!🖖

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  5 месяцев назад +1

      Great point! That is a nice feature to have. Thanks for pointing that out here.

    You can't beat Daneletro Honey Tone for the price. It would be my choice for a kid to see if they're gonna stick with it or not. If they do then we'll invest in a big amp.

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  5 месяцев назад +1

      It is a great choice for that for sure. Thanks for joining the discussion here.

    I have the Daneletro but I use it to blast a Harmonica through. It's great. With the right mic breaks up just the way you want it to. For Guitar however I'll take Black Star also. I'm not big on Metal music so Orange isn't high on my list for Guitar. However with its attention to Gain Orange might be a great Harmonica amp.

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  5 месяцев назад +1

      Great feedback, thanks! I bet that Danelectro for harmonica is very cool.

    The NUX should have got the honourable mention, judged on same parameters as the Blackstar. The group liked Orange only mainly as a novelty.

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  24 дня назад

      That is fair. We all liked the NUX and it does the most stuff. An honorable mention is warranted.

    And how about the Donner? I liked it because it is rechargeable... The sound is very bad or not?

    • @GabrielGarcia-ee8pv

      Still better than others like Rowin PE-10 or LEKATO 5w?

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  5 месяцев назад

      The Donner did sound pretty good for it's price and being rechargable. Not our favorite, but OK. We have not tried the Rowin or Lekato yet, so we can't speak to that.

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  7 месяцев назад

      Agreed, that would be pretty cool. I will say that when you add the second speaker you do get more volume. We did check out their 10 watt ID:Core it is was pretty cool, but that is a different level. Hopefully Blackstar will see the suggestion, good one! 👍🏼

    @hughbarton5743 3 месяца назад

    Loved the way my Black star Fly played and sounded. Until the power switch failed, at two years and two months since I got the amp, speaher, etc. Sweetwater and Black star both declined any assistance. " out of warranty"....
    Here's the punch line: this had spent its entire life on the desk in my tiny office. Was probably switched on and off 3 or 4 times a week....clearly abusive behavior. Bonus: I now face the decision :
    Give these guys even more $$, or find somebody that would buy the rest of the kit....

    My budget is low I was thinking to go for ornage instead of blackstar
    So I need your suggestion because anyways I’m going to use bias fx will it make any difference between these two?
    Thank you !

    • @NoFearGuitarGear
      @NoFearGuitarGear  4 месяца назад

      They both sound great and I think you would be happy with either. They both have their own distinctive sound, go with whichever you prefer from the demos. Two very good under $100 amp options.

      We had a few overhead mics to capture the sound for each amp in the same way. Not faked, but also not close-miced as you might do normally.
