I cannot find one single review for this amp that doesn’t say paid advertisement. That makes me very skeptical 🤨
Agreed
great video buddy. miss you dude. i wanna hang out again soon haha
I have a live show tonight. Wanna head to NJ??
I think that was the best demo of the amp I have seen. You answered questions that I have had because of how the other demo/review presented the amp. It was like their demo caused me to have more question at the end of the demo/review. Thanks, for being able to do what so many other couldn't.
Went to the cloud, typed in Layla, Got 10 different versions of the Layla sound. I picked the one I liked best and then jammed out. It was awesome. Then I did the same for a few other songs. It's incredible. You can also connect to spotify and play along with any song there and also have the song play and it will tell you the chords being played.
King, I don't know what you do outside the Tone King Lounge as a career or is the channel your mainstay. Watching you over the years and being in a bug eyed state of AWE! You sir must have the greatest life ever. To have any tone with any axe at your disposal and not the Axe fx or Kemper route although I'm sure you have those as well. That has just got to be Sweetness on top of the Sweet. To live as The Tone King for a day. That would be a day well spent. Love the channel and thanks for the entertainment.
P.S. R.I.P "DUST", Jeff LaBar, Joey Jordison and all of the artist not with us. Thanks guys!
its a shame to have spent so much money on gear but none on lessons ......
I did come here for your opinion! Haven't steered me wrong yet. Much respect. 🙏🤘
Ive had one since December and I love the little bastard! Ive been playing for a long time and its a great sounding practice amp for bass and guitar!
I absolutely love mine! 😊👍
I own one. Great little amp for back yard dubbing around without being a pain.
Great video TTK. Hope to see more demos this year. This amp isn't too bad. I like my set up for now though. My Line6 POD Go through my Bugera tube amp.
Nicely done, TK! Closest to a hands on I've seen. I mean I would love to go to a store & have a hands on. You're my replacement, LOL!
Welcome to the family! 🤓🤘🏻🎸
I've been playing for 59 years. I played, making half my living, in NYC for two decades. I owned a guitar store in Flushing,NY. I just got mine. It's the greatest thing I've ever played through, and Ive seen some amps, let me tell you. Beginners could use it, yes. They'd be more suited to a champ, but they could use it, albeit that would be a waste. This thing threatens to bring me out of retirement.
I've seen a lot of these I gotta say the app is what I don't care fore. I really just want a usable amp that's simple so without the app Im not sure its the best bang for your buck
You can use it without the app. It is easier to program the 4 presets/channels with the app, but once done, you don’t need it. I have mine set up and almost never use the app anymore..just plug in and go
For.
You can certainly use it JUST as plug and play amp and even change some settings on the presets just on the amp.
Boss Katana
Without the app I would say the amp is barely usable so definitely there are better options if you don't want to use the app. By the way, I happen to love the amp and its various amp and pedal modeling - amazing. But you've got to use the app to get to them. The guy that said he used the app once to set up his 4 presets is correct - you can do that. But then you'll pretty much be limited to 4 tone patches if that's enough for you.
Why? I mean all just to avoid one cable going into an amp? Doesn't a roland cube do similar...running on batteries etc...
TTK - Nice amp, but have considered a shoot-out on sound with the the THR10X from Yamaha? Might be a cool video idea to demo. Yamaha vs. Positive Grid.🤘🏻🎸👍🏻
If you like this...You’ll Love the Boss JS-10, it’s absolutely amazing!
Nice Demo,
Thanks buddy!
Respectfully, Jeff Mercer
Am I going insane or is there an echo on your voice?
Not insane, delay on the talking mic.
im thinking about getting one when i get my first paycheck, would you still recommend it til this day?
I'm liking your background
Thanks for the review. Seems great for the price.
I got one and it's dope. Sounds better than my marshall jcm sls5 at lower volumes (we just had a baby - can't crank a valve amp).
Good video! Just got one of these over the weekend and I love it. My only complaint so far is there is no acoustic simulator pedal.
Super sick amp but you also have the fingers of an angel
Can you plug a set of twelves into it?
I just order one and it's in route to my door step.
Me too. From Amazon. Say between 3 and 7 days. Everyone of these reviewers always seems to leave out it's retail price is only $279. That's a HUGE point. I got $13 off from Amazon.
Get a THR, Spark is very muddy sounding and fake through the speakers. Direct is OK. Too much midrange glare causes ear fatigue with the speakers.
It’s cool, but they should not be charging more than a Boss Katana mkII 50w. That’s a far more flexible amp and $50 less than the Spark
I think it's waaay too bass heavy and feel like you tubers that mic it turn the bass way down in post. Real life it's silly bassy
But....you can turn the bass down on the amp. Does that not help it??
@@thempyreans it's way too much at 0...so no
Some cover tunes I made with the Spark...all guitar sounds from it - ruclips.net/p/PLt7CVTrAA7ALqsGDlTxSx-LJO4Fz2_HQ1
I have this amp, and I love it. I use it more than I do my Line 6. I listened to this video because I know you know what you are talking about. See you on Friday's on your Live Streem
My question about this amp isn't about its effects for whether it sounds good we know they made a decent one but does it really allow you to play a song like let's say Robben Ford and it would give me all the cords that are really in Robin for toon or is that just marketing
It really gives you the actual Chords...
@@jeff0566jsm will see robben play altered chords
Sounds Awesome your playing was bitch’n 👍🔥🎸🦅
Thanks for sharing! Got mine yesterday! Subscribed to your channel.
Certainly came here for the opinion :)
Have this and the good ol Peavy Vypr so now I can switch between them or practice with a friend.
Amazing what each offers. I'll say some of the Vypr sounds are better some worse, but the key differentiator is being able to plug it in and have audio output (dunno why the lower tier Vypr doesn't support that, I have used my sm57 to record it but really thats just unforgivable amp sinning from Peavey)
It's a good practice amp for rock & blues ,but it ain't a metal amp , it has too much low end for any tight chugging tones . My wife loves it as a blue tooth speaker .
I just bought one because my quad cortex is taking forever to ship and I wanted something decent to practice with. I was blown away right out of the box. I would recommend this amp as a practice amp to any one no matter your style. You can even get some pretty damn good bass tones out of it.
Well worth the money. I wish practice amps sounded like this when I was first starting.
One thing I can't get an answer to is how I can connect my bluetooth headphones to it.
earned a sub my good sir. nice review. genuine question- why has no one on youtube at all demonstrated the smart jam feature? where the drums and bass start playing to you? sounds so intriguing but i’ve never seen it in action.
Its funny that most reviewers didn't read a manual
Had it I was the first out 1000 to get it love the features but the sound was not good at all like a blanket over the speakers really muffled to bad wanted to like it so bad
Appreciate your review. One of the better ones. I'm looking at these
But, the sound kind of speaks for itself
Good review, but an awful lot like my Boss Katana.
Plug and acoustic in and then use the acoustic amps............
Is there a foot switch option for changing channels?
Very impressive review. Great sounds!
Good demo and you made it sound like a player wood with good tone. explanations are good also.
I really want one. Although i kinda want this in a Head version.
Do you have to pay additional to use the app?
Great video. I’m gonna order one now
nice demo man ✌👍
Thanks TTK
When I tried it all I can really say is the clean sound was good and it took pedals OK. The gain stuff was quickly turned off...lol.
The factory presets and defaults are horrid! I almost sent mine back. Took literally 15 minutes and actually made a couple presets, and honestly, this amp gets the most use out of any I have at the moment
@@rebelcat420 Cool! I just plugged it in and tried it so that makes some sense.
Just as I'm thinking of getting one, good timing!
Awesome!
Ya DIG?
Another toy bedroom amp why dont they build the screen into the amp insead of having to use a mobile devide to use it .
Cuz that would significantly raise the price. They’re seamlessly leveraging the screen and computing power of the phone or tablet. Make adjustments there, it sends the parameters to the amp via Bluetooth, and boom
@@chrisdg100 yepper. Why can't switchdooker understand that?
Another gimmick amp they sound good until a U tube guitar channel says it’s digital or it’s fake or it’s another fake digital amp is it great because it’s free is that why it’s great now and next year it’s a piece of crap because a channel says so most amps get no respect and they do sound good when it comes to amps I will decide my self Not you tone king but some other channels are wrong about a lot of amps I love how no one likes solid state amps but the whole world loved Dimes sound 🤨
Its not a flavor of the month. I have been playing since 1988 and I own about $30k in 7 guitars. I wouldnt have gotten one if the research wasnt done. The thing is phenomenal for what you get at $260.
agree " good one"
@@kingfisher7960I know that it’s a lot of the other gear channels always downing amps I am glad you said it’s a good product I respect your opinion I know you have a lot of experience I myself got into guitars around 1986. If an amp sounds good that’s all that matters I am not putting the amp down but one of these gear channels will this is what I’m trying to say
Good review. Listening with quality headphones I don’t think it sounds good enough to justify the purchase. I can get tones like that running a irig to tone stack on my iPad then out to my small Bose speaker
It’s $250 what’s not to like? It’s a fantastic piece of equipment that every player should have and at $250, it’s a NO BRAINER...IRig is just ok, all plastic very cheap feel, but it works...Again I’d much rather have the quality that this has... (To each his own) it’s not for the stage, so with that in mind it gives you so much more, that’s why everyone wants one...the Sales are the proof, there through the roof!
