The fact that Rob called the Blackstar fluffy when Ryan “Fluff” Bruce notoriously hates Blackstar amps is absolutely hilarious to me.
This is awsome as always! Suggestion: Why don't you let Rob set up 15 amps the way he likes them. Let them cool for say 2 weeks before you shoot a video, and then pick 6-7 of these amps with his settings and let him blindtest. That would really put his knowledge on test. :)
Henric Oscarsson that is a cracking idea
I like it :)
Yep, sounds like a good idea to me.
YES!! wanna see this!!
Yes, let Chapters or Captain set their best clean, crunch and lead tones on each amp and then AB them versus another amp.
I was frankly blown away at how tight and angry that 6505 sounded. It wanted you to have all of the gain
Rob Chapman, the man with the ears of a rock n roll night owl.
Oh God he said "Fluff-y" when he turned the Blackstar on xD Am I the only one who can't handle this?
Editing on point again
It's Rory. Nuff said.
Shania. Twain.
Nah, all that clowns stuff is pretty annoying after a while. Sure, it is ‘branding’ but it is tiring rather soon and is more than enough within one video let alone a series of them. The gimmick doesn’t age well.
I didn't like the sound levels music vs voice.
@@KentBuchla Well you can't say any of that definitively as it clearly comes down to personal preference so as far as that goes I'm gonna have to disagree and it seems I wouldn't be the only one.
Somebody please tell Fluff, that the Blackstar is fluffy
Gengy28 too fluffy for his English taste so.... to American?
9:19 For anyone that doesn't understand what hes talking about, you're welcome.
Thank you for posting the time stamp
First words about a black star..., "it's fluffy" couldn't be anymore ironic
I am always amazed at Robs skills on these blind fold challenges. Great job guys!
Affordables blues heads shootout whit Danish Pete blindfolded!!! Please please please!
I agree - metal doesn't register as "music" in my brain, although satan (excuse me: Satan) digs it.......!
“That isn’t music, it’s just a buncha noise!“
..said old folks in the 40’s talking about blues
The editing just makes the videos so much fun!
I know this is older but I've been using this video as tool to help me buy one of these soon so here's this for anyone that may need it as well...
Orange - 2:29
Peavey - 6:00
Blackstar - 9:20
Hotone - 12:39
Boss - 15:20
Egnater - 19:59
Marshall - 23:34
Victory - 26:57
Victory (Rob's correction) - 35:07
Didn't see this earlier, very useful as I'm thinking of either the Orange or the Victory. Maybe the Victory as I already have on old Tiny Terror for Orange tones.
When I read or hear an amp review that states "way more gain than I'll ever need" that usually translates into "just the right amount" for me. Peavey 6505 for the win.
Impressive tone ears from Chappers again!
Happy birthday Lee. Thanks for another great video 🤘
Rory, Mr. Editor, plz bring back fiddlesticks as a stand-in for when some one curses, I've been missing it :(
You guys are fantastic folks, really !
These blinfolded videos show how much Chappers is into music, how much he can hear and feel, which I find amazing.
and I had a good laugh too, so keep 'em coming !
Seriously a quality video. Entertaining the entire way through. Keep it up guys.
The peavy sounded amazing
Yeah..... But for heavy thrasher riffs, the sound was awesome. At the same time, I've no experience with mixing so it might be bad in mix. But it sounds very ballsy lol
well nobody in their right mind would put pre-amp gain in the lead channel on more than 10 o'clock. especially when you are boosting it with a TS :D
6505mh: By far the best amp here. You can hear how tight it is compared to the other amps, which means you can always dial in a fuller tone to mimic that Orange-y sound if you wanted it (for whatever reason). You'd never be able to do the opposite: make any of these other amps sound as tight as the 6505 mini.
For the record, I played along blind and thought the Orange sounded decent (still too much low end for my taste) and the Katana was okaaaaay for shredding. Thought everything else sounded like flaming hot garbage- completely worthless.
Decimator sorts that out...
it was on lead mode wich no one likes, but the crunch channel its far better, i own one the only thing i dont like its too small and not powerful enough
Thanks for uploading this today guys, after the day I've had this was awesome to see in my sub box!
Phenomenal ear, Rob! Love these blindfold tests! Missed hearing clean settings. So much is revealed about an amp on a clean setting. Much harder to find a great clean sound!
That Orange sounds great - these videos are so entertaining. Keep them coming.
This is so entertaining and Rob's blinfold playing is awesome. His ear is so good. Great video as usual! I felt the same about the Egnator. Had a tweeker and it just didn't have the bite. Was fun to tweek though.
Great stuff anderton's! You guys are always funny and informative. Something that I like to do myself to remove my own bias is to listen to these videos with my headphones on without watching. I choose without knowing the tones that I like by remembering some of the wrist played or the time frame where it was played. It removes my own bias because let's face it we all have that. Keep rocking guys
I just love the whiteboard and actually keeping track of what Rob's comments are about each of the amps.
2:21 That was the most unenthusiastic "I was born ready" ever uttered lol
This has got to be the best guitar/gear channel on RUclips.... great stuff lads 👍
I LOVE these kind or videos. Extremely entertaining!
Love the blindfold challenges guys!
6505 mini has been on my radar for a while, this has totally convinced me to get one now!
HAppy Birthday Mr. Lee Anderton ! You have brought us amazing entertainment , thank you .
this was a great video.. rob said I'm sorry that's because I didn't like them.... pure gold! these blindfolded vids are probably some of my favs you guys do.
I love these blindfold challenges!
What about a playoff Last Man(Gear) Standig type of Video? Two pieces of gear against each other one loses the other comes to the next round until only one is left.
Wouldn't really give a good idea of ratings, for example with this one everything would have lost to the orange so you wouldn't know how the others compare, just that orange > everything else. You'd have to do a bracket type where the winners only compete after a play-off round, and it would make the videos take way more than twice as long
seriously guys, you are my favorites youtubers of the whole world , really, its just such a good rock channel, greetings from Mexico.
the guy who edits these hilarious videos needs a raise.
I "watched" this episode with a blindfold on, i quite enjoyed it, i give it a 9.8.
The editing is becoming legendary!
God I love this channel! I love the blindfold challanges!! do more please!
maybe cheap vs expensive distortion pedals!
tube vs non tube distortion or preamp pedals!
Love these videos, so much fun.
I like how this channel "Andertons", they don't have to pause after playing before speaking like in that pedal show it's much more advanced but I like that pedal show how they write on the screen the amp they're using at that time or the pedal.
Blindfold videos are the future!! Nice one fellas.
Always great video's guys. Everything you produce i will watch. I wish i loved anything in this world as much as Rob loves that shirt. :)
Mark it down also. Rob almost did not know how to say it but the words "can you turn the gain down" were spoken here folks!
Great video as always. I'm just waiting for the Vai video! Come on guys!
Okay, what needs to happen next is for Rob to explain what characteristics he is listening for to determine valve or not. No doubt his hearing and knowledge of sound production are on another level, which only develops after a lifetime of playing, listening to and developing gear. Amazing as usual Mr. Chapman.
There is a characteristic dynamic bark that you get with tubes that solid state doesn't replicate well. It's far easier to tell in person- in a video, very difficult to tell usually (unless compared with a very high end tube amp that's perfectly dialed-in). I have gear throughout low to high price bands, so that's just my two cents. After playing on this gear for a while, I have a tendency now to strongly-prefer tube-driven gain and effects when I'm in front of the amp.
These techniques tend to show it the most: Palm-muting (I have a very heavy right-hand and palm-mute very quickly, so I am always chasing a tight amp sound) & alternating between high and low string power chords (full chords as well)
But he always gets the Marshall DSL wrong, in both this video and in the gain version of the valve vs solid state vs modeling challenge video. Rob never thinks the Marshall DSL is valve! What gives with that?? It's one of the best tube amps on the planet, especially the 2018 reissue series.
As good as the DSL is, it's a bit more "clandestine-sounding" than tighter amps, like the 5150 tribute here. That clandestine quality can be heard in lower-end heads (like the Hotone's), so if you're really scrutinizing the amp for that sound, you'll screen out everything with that sound and gravitate towards the tighter amps. I recommend watching Lasse Lammert's playlist to listen for this sound, especially the Hotone Head (very clandestine/distant sounding) vs. the ENGL Ritchie Blackmore (E650) or Krank Krankenstein+ which are very forward/clear and tight-sounding amps by comparison:
ruclips.net/video/FI4y79muYE8/видео.html
GoddessIn Triptych I don't know what you're hearing, the DSL is very present to my ears. It's a bit fizzier than a 5150/6505 but it doesn't sound far away at all. That's what the valves are supposed to do? Mine does a great job with metal and cleans; although a 5150/6505 would be a bit tighter, it wouldn't be like daylight and dark.
Isn't there some sort of mid-contour on the DSL as well? I played one in a store a while back and that had one and really liked the controls (I still want to own one some day). One of my favorite Death Metal albums was recorded with it
More blindfold challenges please 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Love em
First video I saw of Chappers was 11 years ago with 'Orange Tiny Terror Metal'; this video feels like a full circle with Rob picking the Orange as his favourite :)
I really liked the Blackstar one!
These blindfold comparison videos are the best.
Rory, those songs you made were amazing xD I want a compilation of them!! (P.S.: the Peavey sounded best to my ears as well!)
The blindfold challenges are great guys! :)
I really enjoyed these shootouts. Very happy about Orange. pleasantly surprised by the Blackstar
7:45 Haha! Meet Cpt. Lee Pastel, with a moustache more exquisite than his shiffordable paintings.
I really dig that Mini Peavey Head. Might just have to look into getting one
I love love love the blindfold challenges
Thank you for another blindfold challenge video. If nothing else, it makes you listen with your ears and not your eyes :-)
Digging the Orange aswell. Awesome.
This was the best video yet! I could not stop laughing, especially when he identified the tiny Hotone.
Just started listening to the first amp, and the orange sounds amazing!!!!!! (Turns out they all sound good. Long day at work, just came home. And have it on really loud. Just what I needed)
Love the show, always do.
holy fook! when Rob does the settings for the RD1 it sounds amazing!
I agree with the previous comments - the Orange is first by a long way but then my back up to my Laney LV300T is a Micro Terror played through a Blackstar 4 x 8" - not quite the bass response of a 4 x 12" but better than a 1 x 12"!! Still a fantastic amp and dead easy to dial in
Rob! That was amazing. You guessed so much about so many of them. \m/
I loooooove this kind of videos! Make moooooore pleaaasseee
when he pointed at Number 4, I had to pause and stare for a worryingly long time to see it
Exactly!
I thought Rob was calling the katana a hotone for a minute there. Almost didn't notice the tiny little amp on top of the Boss.
You should do a shoutout to Jazz/Blues amps under and over 1000 with Pete and Ariel
Amp Paradiso? Yes please.
I'd love this
Yes!!! I'd love that
Great idea. Hope they are reading this.
The best I’ve heard Rob play, probably because he said he recorded yesterday and was practicing like crazy. Great video, will you guys now do a third video, amongst those >< 1k, blindfolded of course?
That Orange Rocker just does it for me! Unreal.
I wish now that I was blindfolded.... or simply looked away, to judge these for myself. I've always liked Orange amps, so I may have some bias there, but it does seem to have been at the top of most lists anyway. I'd say the Peavey, Victory and Katana join the Orange at the top, but since Rob had those at the top as well, I'm questioning myself. Great video!
After the first blindfold pedal challenge, I started listening to all of these challenges blind. It works. I picked out the Peavey MH which sounded tight to me (a big plus), much tighter than the other amps. I happen to own the big version and generally like similar-sounding amps like the Framus Cobra.
His signature amp is "Farty on the Low end". Love it :)
Andrzej Marczewski speaker cab is slightly different than what victory puts out.
Near the end he noticed it wasn’t set properly
The guy does know gear though!
Impressive!
Aren't we all though?
You used the peavey on the lead channel aswell, that's why it has soo incredibly much gain. Although the rhythm channel is savage too.
Once he told Lee to dial it back, it greatly improved. I listened blind, and I thought whatever it was trashed everything else.
If I lived in the uk I wouldn’t buy from anyone but andertons, these kinds of videos show such a level of class, it shows how they dont advertise amps based on profits for them but actually goes to show people how they sound and what would work best for them
Holy shit Rob really knows his stuff!! He's so accurate with those guesses
I always find it interesting when Chappers does these blindfold challenges. Also very telling what he really thinks of gear when he's not trying to "sell" stuff.
Like, I've seen the vids about the Marshall DSL amps specifically, and his opinion here is very different when he doesn't actually know it's a Marshall.
Chappers @ 12:45 on the Egnater Tweaker review video “I really really like this amp.” Don’t feel bad about giving it the low score. You loved it when it was dialed in right.
The Artist MK2 is an amazing amp! So many great amps available today it's almost like you really can't go wrong. My Chapman guitar is one of the finest guitars I own. I plan on adding a Chapman baritone to my collection!
These videos are the best videos imo
‘Action Lee-Play’. Love it haha
Damn I've not heard any of the other amps yet but Rob made that orange sound great!
The Boss is my favorite, which is why I bought one. The Orange was my second favorite in this lineup, with the Peavey coming in 3rd. I love these blind challenges.
The DSL had the most beautiful tone, but the Katana did have the best metal sound, it had a very tight low-end.
Agreed, and the Katana's tight low end is what I need for my 8-string guitar and 6-string bass.
I don't think they set the eq on the DSL correctly. Mine can put out a huge metal sound, but Rob's correct in saying that the DSL needs to be driven more. And they likely didn't have the tone shift on which scoops the mid a bit.
Blindfold challenges are always good for a laugh!
Excellent and proper use of the word penultimate, just as captain Lee was switching to the egnator.
Rob's playing is awesome as usual, and he probably has the best ears of any guitarist alive.
You should do a 'Blindfold Viewer' challenge where you guys know what the amps are but they are then blacked out in the edit. We can score them as we go then you guys reveal at the end.
You can already do this with these videos. You'd have Rob's commentary, but I always have the screen minimized the first time I watch these.
GoddessIn Triptych Good point, but not for the casual viewer. Much as I love this channel I'm not watching the videos twice. Plus I think Chapper's smugness and The Captain's sarcastic non-hints when they know and we don't would be highly entertaining.
I have watched you guys for years and your videos only get more entertaining. When I am the market i will most definitely buying a chapman from andertons.
Zac Carter Chapman have gone down the drain. As soon as they released their new standard range, they kept the old models, priced them higher and made worse guitars for the same price
cbf edge I like the new ml3 traditional but that's about it
The Orange sounded best to me, Good crunch without losing the tone. Rob tends to like too much gain though! I'd like to see you do this with clean sounding amps & the Danish god playing.
I don't know why but when he reads the recap it's freaking hilarious lollll
The Orange amp...talk about having the "cocked wah" sound...
LOVED the sound of the unboosted Peavey lunch box.
Rob did MUCH better this go 'round. Must have been feeling more relaxed. Who knows? But he pretty much nailed five out of the eight . Somewhat restored my faith in his golden ear! Odd that he did not identify his own signature amp.
Wonderful video!
I love these blindfold videos for the comedic value
I hate them because they remind me that people can play better me even if they're blind
11:28 - A wild Fluff appears. :) Excellent editing as always gents!
You really not talked long enough about HOW good Rob was.You need to party him! I'm THAT impressed. For me it''s unbelievable how he nailed one amp after another. Unbelievable. MAXIMUM RESPECT!
More of these blinds with Rob pls 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Lmao the reference to Fluff during the Blackstar amp was perfect
It would be awesome if you guys just had a video talking about the state of the industry (Fender, Gibson PRS) and their prices and such. And also play them all. For sure.
another victory for orange amps
I was super surprised at the Orange - for me it sounded the best (and I usually like Marshall tones). Lovely clean crisp sound that you just want to fiddle with. Good work Orange!
Orange wins, Rob's wearing orange vision stoppers.. I smell a conspiracy. Great sounding amp though!
So glad they brought back the rocker circuit. I was begging orange for years after they discontinued the rocker 30 to bring it back. It's quintessential orange crunch, it's cleans up well, two channel with an FX loop (the older one didn't have the loop). Done deal.
Another orange for victory amps
Yeah Im surprised the Marshall sounded mediocre I liked the Orange too
Peavey 6505 just sold out
+aleh Wrong. Blue channel. Red channel with Gain at 830-900. You can make it sound like any of these other amps with the right pedal in front of it. But none of those ever amps could ever sound as tight as the 6505- it's physically impossible.
My favourite was the Peavey by some distance, which is surprising as I'm a huge fan of the Boss Katana
I thought the Katana did sound good for soloing, but I just love the tight sound of the peavey. I don't own the mini version (just the 5150 iii), and had no idea the mini had on-board reverb: really tempted to pick one up now.
It only has too much gain on one channel, and that channel is great for metal. I've had a Rocker Terror, OR15 and 6505mh. I've sold the other two and only kept the 6505 because of its versatility. The foot switchable clean/rythm/lead channels make it easily the most useable. The Rocker terror was a close second.
aleh bhaba it’s great for people who want that tone though, not everyone needs a super versatile amplifier
That basketball edit made me laugh for longer than I'd like to admit
I have really enjoyed the amp /blindfold challenges. Interesting to see what people say when they only trust their ears!
That Peavey sounds bad ass! I might look at getting one
I could almost understand all of this information. Good job, good team.
