Tried this out in a shop before buying and was politely asked to turn it the f* down, to which I tought: "Sweet! This'll probably be loud enough for band practise and small stages". Took it to band practise last night, hooked it up to a compact 1x12 8ohm cab, dailed the master volume past noon thinking I'd need to crank it to keep up with our drummer (we're an indie rock-ish band, he's a loud playing punk drummer), but I had to dail it back to like 11 or 10. This thing can go pretty darn loud and seriously sounds great! My main amp's been an AC30 for a few years, but if this turns out as great live as it did in the practise space the AC30 might be collecting dust the coming months... First upcoming gig'll be soon and I'm eager to try it out!
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you for your helpful demo. I watched Henning's video first and then yours and it was a very useful addition. It's pretty amazing what this small pedal amp is capable of. Especially the sagging function is nice to have.
Important point worth (re)emphasizing: you MUST USE A SPEAKER CABLE out of the Stompman to your cab and NOT an instrument cable. So be prepared to buy a lengthy speaker cable. Not a problem and not cost prohibitive but an absolute must. Otherwise, bad things will happen to the power section. Great video! Seriously considering getting one of these or the larger Ampman.
Apparently, it's not that dangerous like in a regular amp. But of course, you'll need at least a short speaker cable to plug into whatever speaker you're plugging this into. If you have an old amp, you can just unplug that speaker and plug it into this.
I agree. Doubt that any rock stars are looking at these products. I need more clean control plus power, and less saturation. A dual purpose amp for guitar and pedal steel is more my needs. Milkman is a favorite in my circle, but it's still one channel.
Thanks for the review, just subscribed. Would you mind posting another vid of a rehearsal with a drummer? That's the question in my mind actually, whether it'll be capable of handling a rock drummer or not. Other than that, this seems to be the perfect fly rig solution.
It's almost like you answered my question I put in the group today with this video. My only poi t that might get me sagging, is no headphones out. That's a shame. Sounds good though.
Sounds good. Sagging is actually when the power transformer can't deliver enough V for the signal transients. The transient level is reduced and the distorion increases and becomes more wild. It's a little different than reducing V to the amp.
Great review, thanks for doing multiple guitars and pedals! The tone range is this is great. I love these pedal board amps. I don't travel with a rig, I just like the small size. This sounds really good. I was in the market for a Quilter superblock, but this just made my decision harder. Wish this had reverb though. This cannot be powered with a lower wattage supply right? Quilter will allow theirs to be powered from pedal board supply, it just turns it into a lower wattage "head" I believe.
You missed the biggest limitation: you need electricity or 24 volt DC. Something so small but still need carry around an adaptor and have to access the grid. There are better options.
Sag ---- Well done! Ordered one. It won't replace my Blankenship, but will work great alone side it as a wet dry rig, and of course when I don't want to fire up the tubes for noodling ---- ging!
Sagging is such sweet sorrow. Great video, I got the ampman when it came out, and immediately sent it back, I loved everything about it except the difference in volume between the two channels. Looks like that won’t be an issue here, but after returning it I purchased a stomp xl and love it. So I no longer need one of these but thanks for a great video.
I have the Ampman classic too and the volume difference between channels really can't be understated how dramatic it is. I hope they fix this in updates or modders can figure out how to fix it!
“Return of the Stompman” must become a film. Will answer aaaaall those questions from “Stompman: The Stompening”. Excellent little pedal and great run through, Andy!
XLR out is a dealbreaker at least for how my band practice setup is - I currently use a Hotone Britwind pedal amp which has that XLR out (as well as a lot of additional capabilities)
Hi Andy How would you compare these to the Quilter Superblock? They seen basically the same 🤔 I love the idea of a small crystal clean pedal amp used as a pedal platform. Looks like Blackstar is doing the same thing. But I hear so many people brag about the Quilter that I wonder if this is just as good? And this is 60 bucks cheaper. Thanks!
Hi there GG…. Excellent review. I’m a happy Orange Terror Stamp owner looking for a backup clean pedal platform amp for unmiced pub gigs… does the Stompman have more clean headroom at gig volume? Thanks!
Great demo of the Stompman! I wasn't sure if this would fit what I wanted from an amp but you showcased an answer to every question I had. Thanks for such a well made demo. Love the SAGGING feature. Adding it to my rig.
Exactly what I'm looking for, and your review is really great. Need a clean pre/power amp that I can take to open mic nights where there is a speaker cab only (weird, right?). I considered the Quilter stuff, but changed my mind. This is cheaper and I'm just looking for a clean, loud amp pedal that I can use pedals with. This nails it. By the way.......................SAGGING!!!
Im back , I never even tryed the amp as is ,With its own preamp? Its probably killer, But i am use to my british and blond sandsamps for preamps ,I use J H S At plus for marshall sound with the british sands amp
Great demo. I'm looking for something like this to go direct. This doesn't have enough gain for me, so I would have to have an overdrive or boost. I thought there was a version with more distortion for metal?
great video Mate. I always appreciate you excitement about a new product. Your attitude was definitely not SAGGING at the end. I always think of Hughes and Kettner as first class and this seems to hold up to that. Thanks Andy
Great review, very nice sounds with this H&K Stompman! If I play especially ambient clean (solo project, electronic beats or just synths with no drums) do you think is too weak as for the power? Maybe I can match with a 2x12 cab
My two favorite amp companies are Orange and Hughes & Kettner. They both seem to be innovating new products that maintain the quality and performance upon which their brands have become known for. Orange makes solid reliable bare bones devices, while H&K makes sensible decisions when adding features. Both are great, but H&K seems to be a bit ahead because of the features. Between the Terrastamp & the Stompman, the Stompman's bypass & solo features make it my choice.
Thanks for the review. Does the **Sagging** control still apply when the preamp is disabled? I'm trying to get a feel for whether the power amp portion of this pedal sounds and behaves like a tube power amp (emulated) or is just a transparent class D with all of the emulation going on in the preamp stage.
Excellent presentation! Informative and practical! I would use this device. I play a Les Paul Custom Black Beauty with a Floyd Rose FRX through a Blackstar ID:260TVP.
Got my stomp man today ,Thomann forgot to send an adaptor ,I live in Kentucky ,Thats in the U S A those two pegs dont fit into my outlets ,But i barrowed a cord from my orange micro dark,only the cord ,not the pwr. supply.and it works ,I turned off its peramp with the switch ,I used a sands amp blonde for the pre amp ,With morning glory ,catilinberad 5f6 bassman ,then delay ,and rev. no fx loop ,its on bypass .Its plenty loud only at 15 percent .roll down sag to bout 15 percent or all the way off no hissing like people say its clean ,Thats why it sounds so good ..It gets 5 stars in my book .It dont have any more hiss than any other amp ,Its not my hot rod delux power amp in ,But its close enough for rock and roll! Oh yeah I cant think of any reason why you cant gig with this .Just try one Good pedals will help
Since this is meant to be plugged directly into a cabinet (with a speaker cable, not a guitar cable, mind you) - that means you'd have to have something like a RedBox in order to plug into DI and record, right?
That's a good question - my educated guess is that since the line out is coming out of the effects loop send, and not the cab connection, I reckon it probably can go direct into an audio interface with a normal guitar cable.
So, why do you think that this is better than the Ampman Classic. Could you please explain this. To my understanding it is technically a sized down, one-channel version of the ampman with a few specs less. Am I wrong. And most important for me: Do you think the Stompmam SOUNDS better than the Ampman Classic? Or ist just that you don’t need all the options the Ampman has and that it is more expensive? Thank you
Great review! A question: do you need to run it with a cab? Could you use it with an IR-loader/cabsim like the twonotes cam m+ without a cab, or do you need a loadbox?
I went back and forth between your demo of the amp man and of the stomp man... And I must admit with what I heard i prefer more the clean channel of the amp man thant this one I found this one sounding a bit more thin... Or maybe it is just because I prefer personnaly tele over strat and that tele was gorgeous in the amp man video. Keep up the good work and keep sagging in a good way 😅
Sagging, dude! Good on ye! (Cheers!) I’d be a little concerned about the hiss. Other than that, it’s two thirty-nine ($239) at Sweetwater. Two (too) much, in other words. Unfortunately. That be what I think.
I quickly compare the ampman in this video. The ampman has more features but is almost twice the price. It doesn't compare with the modellers as it isn't one.
@@TheGuitarGeek thanks for your reply So, forgetting versatility & virtual effects, is this a viable alternative to a Kemper for someone who has already got a Kemper BUT finds it too non-intuitive to use?
Andy “ jailbreak” legend sir!! Great review Andy thanks ! Hope everyone is well in your house I know what my next spare £165 is going on As I get older ( shhh) the less gear to do the job live the better !!
When paired up with a reverb pedal (and possibly an EQ pedal for fine tone control) the Stompman sounds like a great alternative to lugging around an amplifier head for live musicians.
TBH, my experience with the Ampman (same amp, same tone stack, twice the channels) shows that, once you understand how the "Tone", "Resonance", "Presence", and "Sagging" work together, it's really all you need.
Damn thing nailed the Nirvana thing with the DS1 actually made the ds1 sound great through it, funny how you didn’t like the ds1 but I did ds1 is too fuzzy normally for me
@@TheGuitarGeek I was kicking myself for passing up a used DS1 for 30 dollars at Guitar Center a week ago after watching your video . I play humbuckers and I don’t like fuzz and usually the DS1 sounds like a fuzz to me . I think I’d like a rat and have been thinking about getting the splinter after watching your review. Then Joyo came out with a clone of the red Revv pedal . I own the nascar delay because it was the cheapest analog delaying could find some days I love it some days I hate it. I also liked the Moist reverb pedal but I think it sounded better because of the name and the awesome blue color . I really like your gear reviews because you don’t add a ton of post processing and you don’t spend the whole review flexing on us non shredders. Keep up the good work man .
Even on gigs I don't use it, it would be great to have in my back pocket in case something goes wrong with my amp. Of course keeping it there will cause severe pant sagging so maybe I'll leave it in a gig bag instead.
@@TheGuitarGeek Which in a way negates the board-friendly size of these type of amps. And Quilters are very guilty of this too. Im just surprised that NO reviewer ever shows the power supplies that are nearly bigger than the pedal. This is hugely important and should be at least mentioned in reviews.

Great video. Perfect explanation of how each control works. Now to dial mine in. Thanks!
No sagging whilst watching this - just subscribing - Nice review. I like my valve amps, but gotta say, this sounded pretty good for an amp in a box!
Welcome to the channel Simon! Glad the video shed some light
Important point worth (re)emphasizing: you MUST USE A SPEAKER CABLE out of the Stompman to your cab and NOT an instrument cable. So be prepared to buy a lengthy speaker cable. Not a problem and not cost prohibitive but an absolute must. Otherwise, bad things will happen to the power section. Great video! Seriously considering getting one of these or the larger Ampman.
Nothing bad will happen to the power section at all - this is a Class D amplifier.
Apparently, it's not that dangerous like in a regular amp. But of course, you'll need at least a short speaker cable to plug into whatever speaker you're plugging this into.
If you have an old amp, you can just unplug that speaker and plug it into this.
I had a Stompman and loved it, but ultimately sold it to buy an Ampman Modern. I love having a two channel amp (and not much else) on my pedalboard
How are you liking it man?
@@jesseparrish9198 , I love it.

THX! This a review! I have no more questions! WOW!
I now play it through a 212 cab with two G12H30 70s anniversary wired to 4 Ohm, sounds wicked!
Nice!!!
Great review. Some products shoot for the stage when they should be aiming for the home player. That’s just me, I’m old and Sagging already.
That is a REALLY good point. I wish I had thought of that.
I agree. Doubt that any rock stars are looking at these products. I need more clean control plus power, and less saturation. A dual purpose amp for guitar and pedal steel is more my needs. Milkman is a favorite in my circle, but it's still one channel.

Hey Andy. Is there a direct speaker compensated out on this. So I could run it straight to the desk and power a cab at the same time. Oh…… SAGGING!.
You can run this to the desk (but you will need an IR loader or cab sim of some kind) and power a cab at the same time.

Can you use it just as a power amp for an HX Stomp or any other modeler? - sagging
Yes you can, just bypass the preamp. There is a section of the video that explains it
How does this compare or compliment their ampman pedal?
How does this compare with the helixes and Kempers of this world?

Even on gigs I don't use it, it would be great to have in my back pocket in case something goes wrong with my amp. Of course keeping it there will cause severe pant sagging so maybe I'll leave it in a gig bag instead.
I think it would fit in my 90s jeans trousers pockets
@@TheGuitarGeek They thought we looked like trouble makers but we were just carrying our pocket amps. Very little known fact.
@@DTension 🎶and I’ve got one amp in my pocket… 🎶
Can I use this on the power amp in on a katana mk2 50watt?
From the line out into the power amp in, yes
@@TheGuitarGeek cool thnx
How big is the external power supply?
About as big as a laptop power supply
@@TheGuitarGeek Which in a way negates the board-friendly size of these type of amps. And Quilters are very guilty of this too. Im just surprised that NO reviewer ever shows the power supplies that are nearly bigger than the pedal. This is hugely important and should be at least mentioned in reviews.
@@scottstetzer I actually did film it but it somehow got cut out by the editor and I didn’t notice. Thanks for picking me up on this
The Sweetwater link seems to be sagging.
It will work once they are in stock.
Nothing about it on Sweetwater.
