Why I chose THIS as my amp
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- Milkman The Amp 100 is the amp that has been living on my pedalboard for the past few months, and I love it. Milkman Amp 100 has a studio quality line output with cabinet simulation, pedal level output, headphone output and universal power. The reason I wanted this one over other amp/cabinet simulators is for the tube amp breakup, the headphone out, and insane versatility, including easy wet/dry/wet rig capabilities.
Thanks to Milkman Sound for sending this one my way!

Huh i didnt know they were using an amp, now i want to know how the harp sounds through a line 6 spider on insane 🤣
Oh my god how have I not considered trying this yet 😂
The sound of 10,000 wasps about to fuck your day up.
That's the sound.
@@emilyharpist I keep thinking I'd like to see you try something like a Line 6 Helix (or Helix LT, if you can live without the scribble strips to let you know what each button in each patch does), that has 4 inputs (and outputs). Might be fantastic, particularly for your big blue harp. Can set it up for 4 independent paths, or combine inputs into fewer paths using more complex effects chains. Has a Supro model among it's many guitar amp models, and bass amp models. And a lot of pedal & other effects. Run them through cabinet models, then out to a full range system. Terrific both live & in studio.
chuga chuga chuga!!!🤘😋👍
Lmao I have my Line 6 Spider IV 15 sitting a few feet away 🤣 Full disclosure - I just bought my first guitar in Dec 2019 and the Spider a few months later. I'm also not generally a "seller", so when I buy something, I keep it. If I want something else, I just buy it too.
I've got a Fender Mustang II sitting here, also. But it actually sounds decent once you set it to power amp mode or whatever it is. I can actually use pedals with it and it sounds pretty decent. I got this about a week after the Spider so I never really even used the Line 6 that much. Lol. Most people likely would've tried to sell the Spider to make some $ back but I'm not interested in all that.
The milk is actually stored inside for the creamy breakup, I'll have you know.
I've always been really impressed by the Milkman pedal amps, and I'm glad it enjoys its little slice of pedalboard real estate (in this market especially). I'm amazed at how much of a difference having two knobs to control the reverb makes versus just one. I appreciate the discussion of the wet-dry-wet routing, since there's a lot to explore there, especially with delays and reverbs in various parallel and series configurations, and showing how this amp is really well positioned for stereo rigs despite being mono input.
The last segment reminded how beautiful of an instrument that pedalboard is, and how good Russ is at piloting it. Good job, Russ. Everyone say good job, Russ. Do it.
Thank you again for another exciting episode and bringing some high-headroom sparkle into our collective tones today.
Hahaha thank you so much, Noyd!!! I always appreciate your comments, the wet dry wet stuff is honestly so good!!!
The milk is stored in the balls.
Your laugh is so genuine, I can't get enough of it. I wish you had a super mix of you playing your harp, like a 1 hour video. I'd listen to that on repeat all day and use it to go to sleep, too. It's like food for my soul. Thanks for the great content, Emily ❤
Thank you SO much Matthew!!! That’s so nice to hear 😊
Your videos are packed full of wholesome giggles and genuinely helpful information. Thank you for your insight into production and live performance. That "Wet Dry Wet" jam was mesmerizing! You are a treasure!!
Thanks so much, Hayden!!! I appreciate you and I’m glad you enjoyed this one 🙂🥰🥰
I think we need an Emily Hopkins/Does it Doom crossover with amps. Hearing a harp run through a Sunn Model T or an Matamp GT120 would be insane lol
This is the type of thing i do with my electric cello on my channel.... Just sayin!
@@disembodiedstudios omg it would be a dream for Sunn O))) to send me one of their amps!! I would LOVE to do this!!!
God, I'd love that. Send the bass pickup through a RAT into a Model T, and the soundboard one through a clean HiWatt with a bunch of time based effects.
@@emilyharpist you could also ask Correct Sound Custom to send you over a few of their Sunn clone stompbox preamps :-)
(they very literally make a stomper that has classic RAT circuit with the Model T preamp)
I have a pair of (erstwhile) Sunn1200S (the Fender Bassman upgraded thermal management version) but those are highly inappropriate for just about anything unless you need to flatten a few city blocks. I am definitely unloading them when I've got them fully cleaned up and running tip top.
Fun Fact: I grew up a few miles from the original factory in Tualatin OR. :-) Every music room/school had at least a Sunn PA system - just seemed normal to me, you know, like half century ago.
Other amps with "ridiculous amounts of headroom" you might want to try:
Rivera TBR2SL or the S120
Peavey Alphabass
Fender '69-ish Bassman 2x15"
Darkglass Microtubes 900
Seymour Duncan Powerstage 700
And don't forget, you need to be careful with selecting effects from Metasonix (the crazy "we're not supposed to do this with tubes but we did anyway" people). :-)
Beautiful as always
Thank you!!!!
You guys' video production is getting so good, and your overall vibe is just perfect for RUclips
thank you so much 🥺❤️ we really appreciate that!!
I've been of this brand for years. So happy you found something that works for you. I love the fact that it can live on the pedalboard.
It's my first Milkman and it's so cool!!
Smoothest grooves around
If this had an effects loop, I would seriously consider it. Thanks, Emily! Beautiful music, to start the day.
That would be amazing honestly
@@emilyharpist Talk to Hughes and Kettner about their Ampman classic. It is a lot cheaper, and you need to fiddle to get the tone and headroom, but it does have an fx loop and a red box cab sim on board. Worth a look as a backup.
I never thought about a milkman for a stereo rig till you explained it here, Thank you. I haven’t been able to use my Vox tube amp since I started recording and miss that breakup sound from it that I don’t get from my JC40 the same way.. but the stereo of the JC40 is what I love sooo this is something to consider going forward perhaps with the wet dry wet. Thank you thank you thank you 😊
That's pretty fantastic!
Always enjoy listening to your creations. Looking forward to an album 😉 (no rush, no pressure)
Be good to y'all 🤍💛
I'm upset I haven't found this channel sooner! I love your style a lot! Demos are beautiful too!
Awesome to see the Amp 100 in this context. Seems to really represent the frequency range of the harp well.
Thanks Alex!!!
Your playing in this demo is especially great, awesome work as always!
Thanks so much!!!
This was incredible🙌
I love Milkman! Great video!
It’s so good!!! Thanks Phil :)
I think this is peak pedalboard! An orchestra of sounds at amazing quality 🙂
The only thing left is the deep and dark abbyss of Eurorack. Proceed with caution.
Eurorack coming this fall :)
Just learned of you and this channel this week. I am a guitar player and love ambient/shimmer style mellow electric guitar music. Everything you do sounds amazing, but especially love your ambient/shimmer sounds. The harp adds an entirely new dimension in listening and playing to me. Thank you!! :) On another topic, love your humor and personality. Makes watching your videos fun.
8:35 Okay, now I want a collaboration with Ola Englund to figure out if the Harp will chug.
How about a collab with Rob Scallon figuring it out? 😳😳😳
Thanks for explaining this I was very curious being a pedal\amp nerd. Very cool!
Thanks for watching!! I appreciate you being here with us today! 🥳💕
The Wet Dry Wet section with headphones on is beautiful 😍
You will be first person to convince me to do an amp sim. And this is the one. Caught me on the ultimate pedal build work you all did. You’re so good at this. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much!!!
Great Video
Thanks Jerry!
I'm so glad I found this channel through Rob. A friend of his is a friend of mine. I love your content so much
So good!
Thanks!!!!
so cool!
The cabinet sim sounds 😘👌
Your cinematography has leveled up - love the shallow-depth shots of the amp's knobs. I feel like I could reach out and lick them. I was going to ask whether you considered the Orange Terror Stamp, which is even smaller, but then I figured you’re more interested in a clean tone than the kind of overdrive Orange is known for.
I do want to try an Orange amp one day!!! My goal was to have everyone think they can just reach out and lick the knobs lmao
I love the direction ambience you play in. I'm learning and exploring it myself last few years when I switched from metal and fusion drumming most my life. It's the second half of life reflect my age I suppose.
Milkman amp brings all the tones to the yard.
👏👏👏👍
You are delightful, Emily
no u
Having a tube amp that is powered by a tiny solid state power supply seems to be a way to get the best of both worlds :)
It really is!!!!!
Forgive me if you’ve talked about this in previous videos but it would be cool to hear more about how you prepare for a wedding gig. Do you put together a setlist? Do you play covers and things that a lot of people will recognize? Do you throw in any experimental improvisation or doom metal? Do you use any backing tracks? Personally, I’ve never performed as a solo artist other than some very casual busking and I’m trying to imagine what opportunities could open up if I took myself more seriously. Your insights could be helpful and might make for cool video content. Thanks!
Oh wow I haven’t made a video on this yet but I totally should!!!!! Ill try to soon! There’s a ton of info I can give on this!!
It sounds beautiful. I've been working on my own music lately, I'm releasing some old demos from when I was really young. It was pretty fun to master but also just for fun because they vary in quality because of the old equipment they were recorded on, (1998-2003).
Milkman amps = one hundred percent emoji
they also make a lot of other instruments sound sweet; I'd love to try one through my old Rhodes Stage 88.
Thanks for another great video!
I mean "with" lol
I own a Milkman 50 (the little brother to the 100) & yeah, these things rock!
The 50 looks awesome!!
obviously you just need to rollup at a wedding with an ampeg fridge for the bass pickup + 2 marshall stacks (stereo wet) + fender for the dry. simple, elegant
Lmfaooo YES simple, elegant, and 600 pounds 😂 😂
@@emilyharpist what’s a quarter ton between friends? :p
Aw man I really hope someone springs for a wedding gig with a bunch of little speakers dotted around the place behind plants and stuff, just playing the wet signal for ambience
Thankyou for this Emily. I'm currently making a harp guitar so this is really useful as I consider my "amping" options. I have an H&K Ampman and I can do similar routing with that. Hmm... the rabbit hole looms large.......
It is SUCH a rabbit hole!! hahahah
Milkman makes good stuff, the BluGuitar solid state is worth a good look as well.
I gotta check that one out!!!
Long live the sound guy!
bless the milkman for this wonderful box! #JusticeForUncleEm
#JusticeForUncleEm
Fantabulous work guys!👍 That lil' amp is wonderful🙂 And pedal boards looking good😎
That tasty tasty distortion really spoke to me as well🤘
...also 100% would buy a custom Emily Hopkins Hamplifier™ or EHH™😀I mean I AM Canadian after all🍁❤️
The last tune reminds me of something off of Buckethead's "Colma" album. Good stuff. 👍
I'm not familiar!! I'm gonna listen!!!!
Bwt your wedding gigs are dope.
I remember that one part in Psychonauts when he said "I am the milkman. My tones are delicious."
lmfao wait WHAT
OK, I know it's 2022, and I know some folks might not like this, but I'm going to say it. Emily's smile is absolutely charming.
I don't know whether the "Milkman" logo is alluding to the Knudsen Dairy logo, but I like it.
Nice top.
The Milkman cometh!
😂
I got a Poly Beebo to use for an amp sim, but it does a bunch bunch of other stuff in a modular fashion. Its like having pedals inside a pedal.
I did a video on the beebo!!! It’s super fun!!! My favorite patch on there is the “full reverse” one!
love it when it gets HEAVY
same!!!
Milkman amps are the business. If I was more of a working musician, I'd probably replace my Swart AST with one.
Hey, nice harp amp!
i dont understand any of the music side/talk of this,
i just know I want an hour or two of this jam
so I can put that on when I sleep.
I would love to hear you try the BluGuitar Amp 1 Mercury edition - it has many of the options you speak of but has additional options....fx loop - distortion channels - midi...and a sweet fender like clean channel....
I should def check that out!
Parmi tous les effets c'est vraiment cette gamme que je préfère car parfois il sort des ghosts notes qui sont vraiment top . Among all the effects it’s really this range that I prefer because sometimes it comes out of ghosts notes that are really top.
Hey Emily! Contact amp makers and spearhead the design of the first harp amps! You could go places w that too...$$$
YES! Emily Hopkins signature Hamplifier!
@@emilyharpist oh my goodness you even have a unique name for it that's BADASS!! Oh u go kid 😜... someone should dive at that chance..I'll float that idea to my guy Pete Thorn and see what Dave Friedman thinks ...♥️😁🎸..or John suhr...Harplifier worx too!
my Milkman brings all the chords to the board and they're like, it's better than s'mores, you damn right, it's better than s'mores
For your dry signal I would recommend a Roland JC 120. However, I fired my guitar Amps 20 years ago. I use old school Boss L1M1's, 2 of them. Very heavy, lots of setup. Does Russ go with you? Since I don't use too much drive, it is perfect for me. I have been researching IR units. They are made to go directly into the sound board, or your Bose, no amps needed. Maybe Boss will send you a demo unit. Don't know if that would work with your Harp "life". Blessings, thank you. 🖖👍🤙✌️
I have been mulling about maybe binning my old Musicman combo amp and get one of these with a 12” cab (for lap steel and guitar). Seems like a no brainer, if anything, just for fun. :)
Our old pal Tim Marcus!
Nice. Since it handles your low notes well I wonder if this amp could double as both bass and guitar amp.
What do you for monitors live. An IEM?
just curious. how do you select dry/wet in the seperate output. looking at the pictures there seems no button for this.
There’s no selection - if it’s first in the chain, it can split your signal to send a high headroom signal to other pedals for a wet channel
Can’t go wrong with Milkman. Maybe try a floor modeler someday. I really like my Quad Cortex but you could start with something less expensive like a Valeton GP-200.
Only ever had one FOH I trusted! I run wet/dry/wet with my rigs too, but I have full control!
That’s so awesome!! How do you control it?! I feel like I wouldn’t trust myself because I wouldn’t be in the crowd!
@@emilyharpist I run the same signal to FOH as I hear in my personal monitors. A single stereo feed from my EAE Stompmix6. GigRig ABYBaby splits my uneffected signal to a Lehle volume pedal on one side, and Headrush MX5 (With Empress Zoia and Evantide H9Max in its stereo loop) on the other. The mixer itself has 10 presets too, and contains reverb, delay, EQ, noise gate, and compression!
@@emilyharpist pretty sure you may have seen it on PBOD! I need to find time to add more content to my RUclips page too though!
and do you have the milkman stereo now?
"Why I chose this as my amp" --> "includes paid promotion"
I've been eyeing one of these, do you run it into a PA live and use the cab sim?
Yes!!
Can you play Blues on a Harp (not to be confused with 'blues harp')(?)
...and, when you jam, what other instruments do you enjoy
for accompaniment/co-conspiracy-sizing (?)
Cheerios (but not the cereal)
@Emily: You should try and get your hands on Thomas Blug's Amp1 and BluGuitar micro tube amps. XD
I kinda love that you can never quite tell if Emily actually *wants* to be on camera...like she's super genuine but just a little awkward and silly. A ton for delightful personality
are you switching to the milkman stereo now :)?
That shirt is boss, boss.
Omg Emily u gotta try the Quilter stuff at some point!
i want to!!!
if you were on my gf's and my wedding you could actually massively go crazy with your effects. the wedding is not happening very soon but i keep on asking myself how to get the music to not suck there, cause wedding djs often have such cringe sets, that i wouldn't even want to be on my wedding if it had the standard wedding music
The Milkman rings twice, if you got your echo on.
Lmfaoooo
You are sooo dreamy ;)
no u
@@emilyharpist I know you are but what am I?
Alright so Emily I'm an idiot who doesn't know anything about harps, is it typical to amplify them or are they traditionally acoustically recorded and having pickups is more of a rare thing?
Harps having pickups is a very rare thing! They are usually mic’d / acoustically recorded!! But since I run mine through pedals, I need to run it into an amp / cabinet simulator most of the time!!
@@emilyharpist awesome, thank you for explaining!!
No problem!! Thanks for being here on the channel!!! 😁
Do you use a cabinet with this amp at all, perhaps for non-wedding gigs that don't have a sound person? Or have you decided to ditch speakers altogether?
That’s a really good question! I haven’t ever had any non-wedding gigs that don’t have a sound person, but I’m going to get a speaker cabinet or PA that can handle the low end sometime soon!
So my volume and other controls are on the floor and I still need a speaker?
Yes, if you’re a professional musician like me, the house always has a speaker to plug into! And at home I always go D/I. It’s definitely not for everyone but it’s perfect for me!
the singer/bandleader of my band and I were just talking about instead of a keyboard player, having someone that plays a non-guitar instrument XD
You totally need to form a metal band and play the harp in it \m/(>.
'Sound woman', the few, the proud, we come with better hearing!
When you say harp amp I think harmonica amps which I need a bigsby pedal for
Sound people are the best. They're like cgi people: when they do their job well no one seems to care or notice. Here's to the sound people.🍷
Have you ever told your husband your running off with the Milkman™?
lmfaoooo
What is the pedal board you're using?
I talk about it in my pedalboard video! It’s a hands custom! ruclips.net/video/uhgpDGjNhfk/видео.html
So it is using a KORG NU-Tubes 6P1
😁🤙
It seems like you are wrong about cab sim on and of state. When its on it should cut the highs.
What, no palm mutes?
Okay, how many pedals do you have now Emily?
TOO MANY!!!!!!! I need to count them hahaha
I want one of these so bad, i just can't justify the price.
The Bose S1 Pro might sound better running a preamp. My acoustic guitar pickup sounded disappointing otherwise.
I have been running a preamp with it, and unfortunately it still doesn’t quite do the job!!!
Rob Scallon sent me here.
Welcome to the channel!!!
this seems so confusing, but it sounds amazing!
Thank you!! Yes, this one was a LOT to unpack honestly. Amps and signal path stuff can get pretty nutty!
HHHAAAAIIIIII YOUUU GUYSSS!!!! Saturday night and alcohol was involved lol.
lmaooo WHAT
Others have suggested this, but have you considered trying out a multi fx pedal like the helix or fractal or quad cortex?
I've tried a bunch, but I didn't make videos with them because they just didn't sound nearly as good as the dedicated effects pedals I use! I can't quite find one that sounds good for me!!
