    Great video Willy. Shocked how good that stock 1x12 Solid State Fender sounded ... reminded me of old school blues / hardrock live sounds from the mid 70's

      @SplinteredCompany 3 года назад +1

      Tone is not in the fingers; if you got Jimi Hendrix to play an open C on exactly the same gear as John Petrucci it would sound the same.
      I think you mean style.

  • @plaidretinas
    @plaidretinas 3 года назад +6

    DSL40CR sounded the best. The Katana had the advantage because of the 2x12 cab. If you plugged in a 2x12 though the DSL it would put all the other amps to shame.

  • @bjstein4242

    This is a great idea to give guitarists a better perspective on what different amps will do on stage, including the frfr speaker. I'm curious about the Marshall 40 for my analog pedals and the FRFR because I have a Quad Cortex.
    I do know what you're running through the FRFR but it sounds shallow. I'd like to hear the Laney LFR-112 or the LFR-212 on stage.

    I wish there were more videos like this on youtube, great comparison! I actually thought the Fender Champion and Bugera sounded the best out of the bunch. The Boss GT-1 with headrush sounded pretty badass too but was a bit too bass heavy IMO, might be able to just adjust some EQ for that and sound amazing.

    This is one of the most useful videos I've seen while researching amps for live play with a band. Not sure why but I didnt even consider my 100 watt Boss Katana Artist sitting in my bedroom. Just figured it would need to be tube to compete with my brothers Fender. All I know is the 20 watt 6505 got smoked last week. So I'll try the Boss this week but the DSL 40CR has been in my sights.

    • @Tatted-ne7tu
      @Tatted-ne7tu 3 года назад

      Actually for just playing around the house it’s awesome. But with the band going full throttle it won’t keep up and gets lost in the mix. As bad as I wanted to find a cheap non tube amp to keep up this one didn’t quite work out. For band use I’m using a Marshal 50 watt head through a 2x12 and it’s doing well.

    That DSL 40CR kicks ass. Yyou are correct, the Bugera is a great pedal platform. Nice on it's own but much better with the pedals.I played in club bands in the 80's and 90's with a deluxe reverb and pedals and went from hard core country to Billy Idol and classic rock. The marshall was just to damn loud.

    Brother, that partscaster tele just suits your playing! Your Carvin was nice but this guitar is just on another planet!!!😁😎 As far as the amps on stage, I was shocked to hear the Champion 40. Just by it's price and grab-and-go nature it wins in my book. Considering that nothing here really blew it off the stage and it had the best blues tone in my opinion!😎

  • @JohnMichaelLawrence
    @JohnMichaelLawrence 3 года назад +2

    So turns out we've all been sleeping on Fender's solid state offerings. That thing sounds great, especially considering what it is.
    I know people like the Marshall, but it still sounds kinda "ok, but not great by comparison" to me.
    Katana sounds really good, but that's no surprise to anyone who has followed them.
    That's also probably the best I've ever heard a Bugera sound. Like anything tube, seems they just need to be cranked pretty hard to get them to sing. I think they tend to sound quite mediocre at lower volumes though, from my experience with them. But you made it sound lovely.
    And the other 2 sound fine, considering what they are.
    My votes go for the Katana and Fender.
    Fantastic playing though overall!
