Your content keeps me engaged. I don't even collect gear anymore, but I still watch. Just to see and hear what is out there. I know it is hard, but don't overthink! You are doing great work, and your personality is a breath of fresh air!
I like your opinion on things and I hope you continue to give them. You have allot of gear that you actually keep rather than just have it from a sponsor to borrow, therefore you have more time to get to know gear than I feel most content creators. I hope you keep giving your opinion because I think it’s valuable to many of your viewers that more than likely won’t be able to have such a collection. Really enjoy the material you put out on both channels.
You make great content for gear nerds. There are not many channels that really nerd out about gear and I really appreciate that you do that. Your content is great, keep it up!
I can definitely understand what it's like to create something, send it out into the void, and get zero feedback. That stuff is rough on a soul. You have a distinct advantage over many creators in that you DO choose to interact with your viewers and Facebook folk. Interaction is feedback, and I want to believe most of it is positive. Now, as humans, we are hardwired to more easily notice and hold onto negative experiences because those are stronger learning tools. Don't fall into that trap roo often, and you're golden. 30k folk seem to like what you do. You've got this.
Dude you and your content is great. Before your channel(s) I quit watching gear channels. Your style and tones are one of a kind. Keep up the good work💪 and don’t be so hard on yourself. If feel you about the editing of videos. This is the thing that keeps me from doing videos😂
I am really enjoying the second channel. You do a lot of work for these videos, camera angles notwithstanding. Moving 20 different 4x12 cabs? 20 100 watt tube heads? Hell even just plugging in 20 overdrives is a ton of work.
An occasional livestream, would be cool! Like hanging out and talking about guitars and amps. Usually Friday are slow days at my work, so it'd be nice.
I really think you did a good service showing that the Blackstar Amped 1 outperforming the SD Powerstage. Blackstar rates that amp at 100w for 16 ohm. It's much more powerful than many other SS pedal amps. I dunno why this is not really a top selling SS pedal. Great pedal platform. The power amp modes are great as well. I mostly blame the other YT reviewers not using it for it's intended purpose of being a pedal platform. Appreciate the work you do for those comparisons.
I love your channel. Super fun to get into the nerdy stuff. I like the edited videos. I’d like to see many different amps dialed in to their optimal settings going through the same cab. I’d also really like to see some reviews of some other speaker types. Lastly, I’d really like to see a collaboration with a player who does more leads. I’m a big lead player and when I’m testing an amp I like to be able to see if it’s flexible enough to give me crushing rhythm tones but also fat lead tones. You admit leads aren’t your forte. That’s fine. But maybe a couple videos here and there demonstrating some lead stuff would be great.
Thanks for what you do on youtube. I don't typically have time to watch a live stream, however I will watch it over the course of a few days. I'm in a wheelchair but I keep busy up in Canada. I'll be watching but maybe not live? Time stamps are how I watch Phil McKnight's live streams. I'm 43 & I play through a Revv G20 and a Revv 1 X 12 GREAT home rig!
Hey Kyle! Proud of you man, you have done so much in so short a time. This seems like a great direction and dives into your inner personality and not your inner salesman which really shines through 🤘 Looking forward to seeing where this goes. NAMM? Cheers!
no matter how much you spend making any speaker driver, they will always be different. some sort of law of diminishing returns. in hi-fi a pairing is made for measured units to have some balance. measuring gives you so called thiele and small parameters. rather complex subject but one can never avoid difference in each driver.
Hey bro, the first video I ever saw of yours was the one where you explained why you went full time RUclips. I'm a tone hound, but not a metal player. I do respect shredders though, yall are great people. Anyway, after that video I knew you were a solid dude and I respect what you did. I'm proud of you bro, and I'm glad I found this channel. I recently picked up a Traynor YCS100H2 with the YCS412 cab. I've never had a cabinet before, mostly playing acoustics and my old Peavey Deuce. Anyway, the manual is hard to find and I have no clue what they mean with two outjacks on the head that say parrallel, then the cab itself says left output/right output and I'm lost with the switches 16Ω mono/switching. All different values. Stereo. I was setting it up wondering if I'd fry it before I ever chugged for the first time in my life. Do you have a video that breaks it down Barney style for people in need of great detail and explanation? I've searched YT and come up with nothing. Do you know this amp? Any other tone-bros care to share their experience with it? Here's a fun idea: JHS has a band lab thing that they invite viewers to collaborate on- I bet this crew could actually have some fun chugging the tone-oceans. Start a bandlab band, load some basic beats for starters and let us collaborate. I know a very small percentage of their viewers actually collaborate but people remember and feel respected by that level of engagement with the community. That seems like it's up your alley. If it kicks off, throw some shout outs and a quick sound bite of the community folks awesome sound. If not, you recorded some tracks and maybe had some fun doing it, little to lose. Please excuse my long winded style *edit* i dont mean collaborate with JHS (though that woukd be cool) I mean just this community. Also, maybe Bandlab would appreciate the idea. They are always doing promotions with labels and companies. Something to think about for your growth.
Keep that content coming dude!! I love tour videos, even those grear that cook gear I'll never ever get ('cause i live in Chile where boutique gear cost 4 time what it cost in tge states, at very lover incomes 😢) Anyway, keep it coming. Man. We are here looking.
The Quad Cortex / ToneX packs would be an excellent idea, and I would be looking forward to it. Though personally, I'm interested in DI captures using a load box, as I do like to reamp them with a neutral PA into my own cabs. Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying your content on both channels.
If you buy anything from Kyle make sure you see it first. Bought and had shipped a Maz18 from him that was listed as a MKII but, what I got was a MKI. He is ignoring any messages I send him. DONT do paypal friends and family with this guy. Lesson learned
This is my favorite comment of all time. I just got this sick vintage Peavey jacket from online goodwill. I think it must've been an employee's, shipped from Mississippi! (Left it in the garage, in the package for 2 weeks and washed immediately after opening with bugkiller goops in the soap. I heard horror stories...)
Dig the second channel content and your reasons for using it make a lot of sense to me. I think alternating between streams and edited videos would be cool
Im happy you did this, the content on your other channel is excellent but this channel really helps me out a lot being from the caribbean and not having access to this stuff to try. 99000 points for u.
Hey Kyle I’ve always heard that front loaded cabs sound different than rear loaded cabs. Any chance you could test this? Like get a front loaded cab recorded and then take the speakers and rear mount them and get that recorded. My guess would be if there’s a big difference it’s because the mic distance is different because of the grill cloth. This being said maybe try this with and without the speaker grill and try to move the mic closer for the rear mounted cab. Just seems potentially insightful
Dig the content, whatever I'm here for it. If you have that Fireball 25 and Ironball SE still, it would be pretty cool to see a comparison there where you dial them in to taste. Maybe just do a huge lunchbox cage match.
That's how the class D operation works. You got full power at a rated load, less power as load increases. Constant power can only happen with a tube amp class AB, where you can match the loads to the proper transformer ratio.
@JohnWiku no that's how amplifier companies lie to you about output power Maximum Output Power • 4Ω load - 210W @ 1% THD+N, 1kHz • 4Ω load - 255W @ 10% THD+N, 1kHz • 8Ω load - 117W @ 1% THD+N, 1kHz • Continuous Output Power without thermal shutdown • @ 120VAC/60Hz - 140W This amp cannot output 200 watts without overheating and shutting down
I slaved my 6505+ into to my DSL poweramp yesterday and I like it more than my EVH actually. I would love more A/b content. EVH against the Marty Engl was awsome even if it were about the cab. You could record s riff into a boss loop pedal to get it 100% the same and add timecodes. À LOT of people Ask for more of this info when buying new amps.
The only thing I can add is a empty internet threat.. muhahaha!!! Seriously though v30s from the 70s and 80s are jems.. the new ones from China I'm not a fan of. I'd rather get eminence speakers instead.
V30s didn't exist until 1987 my friend, and even then, they were actually called the marshall vintage and we're an OEM only speaker for marshall for the first couple years until celestion introduced the first vintage 30 branded speaker. But I get what ya mean!
@@kylebull2 I used 70s Marshalls in the 80s recording in Chicago and LA. The engineer brought out a few different cabs. The 70s cabs were awesome. Then he brought out a no name he built and the speakers sounded the same!!!... That is when I heard the name celestion for the first time. Was celestion a separate company or did the engineers come from Marshall??? And that proves my ears didn't lie!!! They were the same speakers Kyle!!! At least to my ears they were.. here's a question for you. Why was it that 80s cabs including celestion cabs sounded so great. But after the 80s they sounded terrible? I still have my old 80s Marshall cab to this day and it still sounds way better then the new stuff... Boomer cab... :)
Less can sometimes be more, if your views per episode go up. Quality interesting content that's consistent, is better than tons of haphazard stuff thrown together. You'll get it figured out bud. Your full of shit and vinegar, which is half the battle won already! Applying all that gear and knowledge to various content topics, will come easy for you. Keep chomping at the bit dude. I see great things ahead for you. Peace.
IMO 20 different items might be a bit too much. 10 I could see but 20 will start to get boring. Plus with 10 you would get more videos out. Just my opinion.

That sudden pause at 3:24 made me feel like he was staring into my soul, making sure I was paying attention

The more Kyle the better. No bull

Appreciate the 2nd channel and the format to do lots of comparisons. Thanks Kyle!
unreasonably excited by your recent content on this channel and what's to come 😃

I like hearing informed discussion on gear
An occasional livestream, would be cool! Like hanging out and talking about guitars and amps. Usually Friday are slow days at my work, so it'd be nice.
I was pleasantly surprised at the the newer Vintage 30's with the new voice coil cone.

I do really enjoy the back to back shootout format. That power amp shootout was very enlightening.
Keep that content coming dude!!
I love tour videos, even those grear that cook gear I'll never ever get ('cause i live in Chile where boutique gear cost 4 time what it cost in tge states, at very lover incomes 😢)
Anyway, keep it coming. Man. We are here looking.
Bro, I watched this in 1x. I really appreciate you, Kyle. Maybe do the live stream the 1st and 3rd Friday, and the question videos the 2nd and 4th?
I'm loving the 2nd channel just as much as the 1st.
The Quad Cortex / ToneX packs would be an excellent idea, and I would be looking forward to it. Though personally, I'm interested in DI captures using a load box, as I do like to reamp them with a neutral PA into my own cabs. Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying your content on both channels.
Looking forward
If you buy anything from Kyle make sure you see it first. Bought and had shipped a Maz18 from him that was listed as a MKII but, what I got was a MKI. He is ignoring any messages I send him. DONT do paypal friends and family with this guy. Lesson learned
Let’s just hang out and play Peaveys!
This is my favorite comment of all time. I just got this sick vintage Peavey jacket from online goodwill. I think it must've been an employee's, shipped from Mississippi!

you're killing me man! where's my Legacy VL 100 in original cab vs 30 other and 30 OD pedals!
I like this channel a lot! Another benefit of an editor is it lower your taxable income.
Would love to ship you some NOS tubes to try out sometime or something! Getting real nerdy with it.

I wanna see both!
I would love for you to put the amp collection through a pair of celestion copperbacks, as well as paired with other speakers.
A day without a vid from you is a sad day
Awesome content for this gear nerd! Thanks man🎸
I'm still waiting for The Uber Ultra Clip. 🤠
Protect your ears my friend, I've had screaming tinnitus for about 25 years....
I’m down for the comparison videos!
aight. sounds good man, thanks.
I wonder if the duncan powerstage needs a more powerful power supply to reach 200 watts
It's an IEC Cable, so no.
@kylebull2 I just looked up the specs and at 8ohms it's only about 60 watts continuous power
That's how the class D operation works. You got full power at a rated load, less power as load increases.
Constant power can only happen with a tube amp class AB, where you can match the loads to the proper transformer ratio.
@JohnWiku no that's how amplifier companies lie to you about output power
Maximum Output Power
• 4Ω load - 210W @ 1% THD+N, 1kHz
• 4Ω load - 255W @ 10% THD+N, 1kHz
• 8Ω load - 117W @ 1% THD+N, 1kHz
• Continuous Output Power without thermal shutdown
• @ 120VAC/60Hz - 140W
This amp cannot output 200 watts without overheating and shutting down
sounds good bring it dude
lovin it !!
Thoughts on genz benz amps
Yes live stream!

That's why I'm one of those pesky cell phone video uploaders I don't have to deal with all that editing bologna 😜
have you thought about giving away a impulse response pack you done for feedback from the people that watch your stuff
Im looking for amps i seen you was selling some guitars do you have a vivtory Super kraken 100 head you would like to sell Kyle Bull???
I dig the live streams.
I like the comparison videos, there doesn't necessarily need to be 20 of them though, infact id prefer 10 or less
Great idea wiyh Nerdy Channel
