My top 2 are Egnater (most flexible) and Orange TH30. Amazed at how narrow and muffled Marshall and Fender sound in comparison. EDIT: This is how all amps should be demoed.
I agree the Engager was the most versatile and I thought was the best in most categories and Orange TH30 was the best in the other. The only area the others competed was in the Clean tones.
I agree too. In fact, all the Orange amps sounded really good to me. I like the Tweaker a lot as well. The Fender was easily the worst sounding. It didn't outdo any of the others in any category imo.
This is genuinely the best amp shoot out ever. No talking raw audio samples from all in different styles. With back to back comparisons of the same thing. 10/10 keep up the great work.
And each clip shown pretty close to the next and not minutes of different things before switching to the next amp so you've forgotten what the first one sounded like when you get to the next.
That Egnater amp seemed to have the most response to tone when adjusting those knobs. It just seemed to bring out a wide variety of sound that, well, sounder well rounded and nice.
@@els1f Even better, stack two overdrives in a single looper (walrus audio makes switches or only 1 loop) and you have heavy to pure clean at the tap of one switch. Personally, i run a boss blues driver and a donner blues drive (on the warm setting) stacked, and its monstrous. Amazing clarity too!
I agree with the stated here..BUT, i have extensively tried the 007 combo in the store...sounded beautiful...high gain modern sound...not melting modern metal, but healthy modern tone..truly loved it..this vid , while great, doesnt do it justice
@@voiceofexperience I have a 30r, its a good amp. Not outstanding, but for the price point its a really nice amp, specially paired with an overdrive, also a friend of mine owns the 45 and its a great sounding amp. Honestly, from this video I would never buy a bassbreaker, but maybe the 07 is just not that good, the ones I played sound nothing like this, at all.
Got the tweaker a few months ago and let me tell ya: This thing isn't to be taken lightly. You get so many options soundwise with its toogle switches, it's amazing. It's a great pedal platform and if you like to play a lot of different music it's a really good choice. Don't get fooled by some forums on the web saying bad stuff about their reliability. Egnater had a problem with some materials they got from a manufacturer, but since they got information about the problems, they changed their source and put on a tight end control. One "bad" thing is, that it doesn't has as many "modern" gadget stuff as other amps. If you need a power soak, or an intern DI-Box you gotta look elsewhere.
Ive been looking at the rebel line...really want the tube mix knob for some reason lol ...honestly i think the cleans sounded the same across the board and the marshall is on the bottom of my list
@@cncnmore4505 Rebel's great, too! If you already have a good sounding clean amp, maybe try out their pedals. They got a similar function called "voicing", tweakable with a knob. I got the Goldsmith as my main OD and it basically threw off all the over drive-pedals of my board xD
I was the same for awhile, but now I love almost all of them and have an OR15, which I think is one of the best sounding amps I've heard, especially for its price! If you mainly just play at home, it is a complete work horse of a studio amp, even the cleans are incredible!
This was a hell of a good job at showing how every single amp has a "voice", and it will fit a specific category really well and can still do solid work "across the board". While politely pointing out, that it may not be exactly what someone is looking for. I was completely caught off guard by the Egnater T15 and the Orange TH30 - Especially the price point of the Egnater!
I’m loving the Egnater and the Dark Terror. Loved going over Bruce’s house in Oak Park Mi in the 90s when he built my IE-4 (red face & red box) in his basement. Those were the early Egnater days. Miss them
Surprised at the Dark Terror for overall great sound but it seems a bit limited kinda as well, Egnater is probably best overall flexibility and the one I would actually buy first. Disappointed by the bassbreaker the most. The rest were all ok but that's it just ok. Marshall and Fender though were the absolute worst.
THANK YOU FOR USING THE SAME TRACK IN YOUR COMPARISONS. 10/10. I am greatly thankful for your time making this so we can make an informed decision on some expensive equipment. Thank you again!
I own a TH30 it's the best amp I've ever owned. The vibe and bounce of this amp is indescribable, you have to play through one to know. I own Marshall, Mesa, Fender, Egnater and Peavey. When I first saw an Orange amp I thought "thats the ugliest thing I've ever seen" and didn't bother to even hear what it sounded like but, I saw Jimmy Page in a video using them and I thought I should give 'em a try. changed my life.
The TH30 sounds awesome. One of my favorite amps ever. Was quite surprised on the cleans on the Dark Terror. I've been thinking about picking one up to pair with my TH30.
Egnater Tweaker all day! I bought the Egnater Tweaker 15W Head back when they first came out in 2010. & over the last 9 years, the Egnater Tweaker has proven to be the most versatile, the most reliable, & the best sounding piece of gear I own. It has never let me down. Not once. In fact, I am still impressed every time I plug into my Egnater Tweaker. The tone options are nearly infinite. It has more than enough volume. It has more headroom than most 15W tube amps. It handles pedals very well. It's lightweight. It looks awesome. It's well constructed. & it's incredibly affordable. I highly recommend the Egnater Tweaker 15W Head to anyone looking for an affordable amp that will give you great tone & volume. The Egnater Tweaker is an incredibly solid amp that pulls well above it's weight & class. I play my Egnater Tweaker through multiple cabs. A 1x12, a 2x10, & a 1x10. Alone or a combination of 2 of those cabs, depending on where I am playing. FYI - I have worked in a small guitar shop for the last 4 years, & tried many many amps. I have also been a gigging musician for the last 14 years.
Hey man would I get you opinion on tweaker. I have a fender and Marshall and got tweaker and find it hard to bond with but it has 6l6 tubes in it, could this change the tone a fair bit. I don't have any 6v6 to put in it at present. What ones are good if they would help the tone
hats off for the effort, great job. on the other hand, since orange cab is used, all orange amps sounded best to me in terms of dynamics and the fullness of all frequencies especially hi ends were brilliant to my taste. i believe in the dominancy of speakers shaping the general sound, more than the amps. therefore, i would also like to hear the same kind of test with each brand's their own cabs intended to be used for their own vision of sound. we know evh is harsh and marshall will be mid accentuated etc. but one type of speaker wouldn't do justice to non orange amps to spread their frequency spectrum as their makers would like to impose.
My favorite in all sound clips was the th30... If if you have the money. But best bang for the buck is also my runner up, the tweeker. Versatility, tone, and price! It's the clear winner to me!
I think the reason that the BB sounded NSG was the speaker/ ohm combo.IMO , despite being a Chinese sub par design, the 007 captures the early Fender/ Marshall sound well.After experimenting extensively with different speakers, I can attest the impact on the Eggnator as well; also, when you compare apples to oranges, it's easy to miss some critical elements.Pickups are much the same. The Orange 30 has a critical power advantage, which is what you're hearing.
That fender amp would be great in the studio as a background layer. If you needed to prop up a wheel-less car, the fender would work well for that too. The Orange, as usual, has the best clean tones.
Very good comparison video. Really showed me the weakness of some, and the broad range of others. IMO: 1st-Tweaker, 2nd-Orange TH30, 3rd Orange Dark Terror.
I like the TH30 the best but I’m jaded being I own one. Did a lot of testing of amps before I purchased it. Beauty of it is it’s a 2 channel that can be run at 30, 15 or 7.5 watts. During this test it was running at 30 watts with the volume always around 2. This amp sounds best cranked . Especially the clean. Turn the clean channel up to about 2 OClock and it starts breaking up nice. Gotta run the th 30 volume cranked regardless of watt wattage you use and you’ll get the best tones out of it. Again, I’m jaded. I play a Les Paul and an SG straight without any effects. Amp has an effects loop too. Great video.
Dark Terror and TH 30 great cleans! I am also a big fan of orange's minimalistic approach. Really considering buying one, but since I need two channels I'm looking at the dual terror or rocker 15 terror. Egnater Tweaker also good.
When I was buying my valve amp years back, I shopped around all of my local music stores. I tried every amp within my budget. Most of them lacked either a good clean tone or a good dirty tone. None had both... until I tried the TH30. I tried the dirty channel and I was very pleased with how much gain it had to offer. But then I switched to the clean channel.... the clean channel sold me. It was soo sparkly and rich (compared to previous amps I had tested). I knew that a good clean was more important for me, the good dirty channel was a lovely bonus. Also variable power selections allowed for a more sensible bedroom volume (still really loud). The TH30 is simple to use. It does not have 100 knobs and switched. You simply plug in and enjoy without over complicating things for yourself. Also it has a great effects loop and this is great for a pedal board 👌👌
the Marshall JVM-1 and the Orange TH30 were my favorites. I was really shocked and disappointed in the fender. the rest were very good and held up nicely. good video
I'm gonna go in no particular order Th30 EVH Tweaker Dark They all sound great and have that midrange thing that good amps have while still being supported with the low end
i got an orange TH100 and despite what anyone says the clean tone is awesome and vibrant. An EQ really helpss fine tune the freqs especially or pedal use
What a great demo. I’m surprised how much I liked the Tweaker. Never been on my radar after the slew of reviews I saw about how unreliable they were. Not going to replace my OR15, but might be a nice compliment.
trahnettilhcs it had to do with their transformers. I don’t remember the specifics but the tweaker line used transformers from a third party...said party switched some of the internals of their transformers which caused higher failure rates (egnater didn’t know this). The new transformers say ELITE on them, that’s how you know you’re getting one of the reliable ones. It’s been a while since I did the research so I don’t remember the specifics. I own the tweaker, fun amp
I've had both the Egnater and TH30 and both are pretty awesome. However, I don't think it was fare to put the TH30 since it has a lot more power to it. Even if you use half the wattage it will still respond different compared to the others, which is why it has more bass and the distortion is a lot cleaner. Taking the TH30 out, my favourite is the Egnater, although it could still use a bit more distortion ;)
I'm generally a Marshall fan, I actually liked it "the least" I think the TH30 sounds the best, close second on every other amp but the Marshall I'd rank 3'rd
I think the Dark Terror is the best considering the Quality-Price-Ratio. The TH30 is my favourite but it's a lot expensive :c Marshall and Fender disappointed me :/
Jonny Miller I love both of them (DT and TH30), but in a live setting the prize difference becomes apparent. The additional headroom from the TH30 makes the amps feel like night and day
I just bought a Marshall DSL1CR. It is actually great. It's funny I ordered it from zzounds so I could play in my apartment. The funny? My apartment building burned down before it arrived. Hey at least it wasn't in the apartment when it happened. Now I'm living in a 19 foot class c motor home out in the boonies. Now I can play my big amps and who would care?. I do dig that dark terror though
@@Granite165 There's some heavy treble filtering in the first gain stage to cut down on hiss further down in the line. You can more than make up for it with EQ and presence. Also, most people aren't getting past 2 on the EVH volume where shift into it's real tonal character is heard.

I agree with your assessment 100%
Yeah I was pretty disappointed with the Marshall and Fender
@@RokDAWG1 the bluesbreaker does not represent what fender is capable of.
That's because he's comparing a 7W amp(fender) with a 30W amp(Orange). Ofc the Orange smokes it.
I agree the Engager was the most versatile and I thought was the best in most categories and Orange TH30 was the best in the other. The only area the others competed was in the Clean tones.
No matter who sounds best++ This is by far the best comparison video i have seen++ no bla bla just pure as we would test them in real++ i like a lot
Axel Kipp totally! Everyone just talk! As if they’re paid to keep shut for the sake of business!
++
Axel Kipp anyway they are all too loud for home use except the Marshall
WORD UP
And no "Don't forget to hit like and subscribe!"..........

My Favorite was the Orange TH30
agreed
Same. The Fender really sounded like ass.
I agree too. In fact, all the Orange amps sounded really good to me. I like the Tweaker a lot as well. The Fender was easily the worst sounding. It didn't outdo any of the others in any category imo.
TT is kinda limited - OR15 would be a better choice
Kevin Joel just gotta roll the tone back on the TT. Still can’t match the TH30 though.
Can't believe I'm saying this but that Dark Terror had better cleans than the Fender! :O
I have a Micro Dark. Lovely clean sound slightly cranked with a bit of dirt. Perfection.
The Fender Bassbreaker might sound as if they're close to the Bassmann or bluesbreaker series, but it's honestly miles away soundwise.
Is the gain just from the amps? No pedals or anything else in the chain?
@@gertikatro6375 Just the amps. Wouldn't be much of a shootout if pedals were used.
Agreed
In order overall: Dark Terror, TH30, EVH, Egnater, Tiny Terror, Marshall JVM, Fender Bassbreaker.
The Orange TH30 dominated. The Bass response king. Dark Terror sounded unexpectedly good.
I thought the TH30 sounded good clean and slightly pushed but got flubby and hairy sounding with the gain up.
This is genuinely the best amp shoot out ever. No talking raw audio samples from all in different styles. With back to back comparisons of the same thing. 10/10 keep up the great work.
And each clip shown pretty close to the next and not minutes of different things before switching to the next amp so you've forgotten what the first one sounded like when you get to the next.
This is how is done! No nonsense, no bullshit intros.
Back to back comparisons that make it easy to hear each amp.
You the man! Bravo.
That Egnater amp seemed to have the most response to tone when adjusting those knobs. It just seemed to bring out a wide variety of sound that, well, sounder well rounded and nice.
Noah Chynoweth ....yes
I definitely agree with that
I have an Egnator … it’s just awesome… my Marshall and Fender amps have gotten zero use since I bought the Egnator ❤️😜
Dark terror had the right amount of everything imo
if only it was footswithable with 2 channels!...
@@pakoti96 throw some sort of overdrive or boost infront of the amp, set the gain to a good clean sound, then push it with the overdrive
I definitely second that!
@@els1f Even better, stack two overdrives in a single looper (walrus audio makes switches or only 1 loop) and you have heavy to pure clean at the tap of one switch. Personally, i run a boss blues driver and a donner blues drive (on the warm setting) stacked, and its monstrous. Amazing clarity too!
Peter DD lets just get two (dark terror + micro terror/micro dark) and a ab pedall
Pretty much the best amp comparison video on youtube.
Man, that poor Bassbreaker consistently sounded like the little engine that couldn't!
My favorite was the JVM-1.
Bassbreakers are rubbish.
Like, REALLY bad.
I agree with the stated here..BUT, i have extensively tried the 007 combo in the store...sounded beautiful...high gain modern sound...not melting modern metal, but healthy modern tone..truly loved it..this vid , while great, doesnt do it justice

I'm really feeling that Dark Terror. It seemed to have a lot of balance on everything to me.
The Egnater shocked me with how good it sounded. The Tiny terror was pretty awesome too. But that’s just me.
I’m really surprised by the Tweaker. The TH30 is my favorite amp in the video, but that Tweaker isn’t far behind it
And the price difference makes me more drawn to the tweeker.
I’d have to say either the Egnater or the TH30. But that Dark Terror is a surprisingly versatile amp.
That TH30 sounds killer!
It's also twice the price and power. Great amp probably.
it sounds louder, weird
Egnaters are such underrated amps. I'm shocked more pros don't use them.
I had this head, it was quite good but it had an unusual tone in the game channel that I never cared for. Quite good though.
Dark Terror, Orange TH30, EVH, Tiny Terror, Egnater, Marshall JVM, Fender Bassbreaker. All in that order

This is EXACTLY what a comparison should be. Thank you for helping me make my mind up.
I wish more VS videos were like this, direct side by side using 10 second short riffs - really helps the ear measure the differences !!!

really appreciated the knob turning, that's what we want, the range of tones ! thanks !
I love that you're demoing these amps with emo songs from the 2000s lol
The all-around tube amp was the Egnater
Want to say great job on doing great quality demos
Thanks, it really does help 👍
Dark Terror and TH30. TH30 has *amazing* cleans 👍 Although I like the EVH’s darker clean sound. Great video!
I wasn't expected that dark terror's clean sounds so smooooth. Thanks for the great video
I own and Egnater Tweaker 15 and it is worth every penny. Absolutely love it
Fantastic demo, this is a proper comparison! For me the Dark Terror was best overall, followed by the Egnator and then TH30.

No sales here. No one telling me which one is the best. One of the best demo video's I've seen. Thank you
Textbook correct, straight to the point amp demo. It is much more informative this way as it is all about tone. Awesome! Thanks for making it.
This is an exemplary demo video... Never seem such a comprehensive demo... Thanks a lot
Was not expecting Hawthorne Heights to be here.
King Kobra on twitter or fall out boy
Interesting demo..........the Orange Dark Terror seems to catch my ear the most. Thanks for making this comparison......
Never seen a better and more concise shootout. Thank you.
the clean sample of the th30 sounded massive and filled my studio monitors,
My favourites are Orange dark terror and Orange TH30, dayum love the sound of those
I came here to decide between the Orange Dark Terror, and the EVH 5150 III..I left realizing I needed the Orange TH30; that amp blew them all away!
I wish other RUclips demos take note on how you demo equipment. Hands down best demo method on the internet!!! Also the TH30 and Egnator are the top
Thanks mate 👍
Egnater Tweaker all day!
I bought the Egnater Tweaker 15W Head back when they first came out in 2010. & over the last 9 years, the Egnater Tweaker has proven to be the most versatile, the most reliable, & the best sounding piece of gear I own.

Dark terror (balanced on all Terms) it's My choice, but egnater (feeling) and evh (chords, riffs) it's pure gold too
How about PRS, Laney, ENGL, bogner and buguera ??
That fender amp would be great in the studio as a background layer. If you needed to prop up a wheel-less car, the fender would work well for that too.
The Orange, as usual, has the best clean tones.
TH30 by far the one above, Egnater really sweet and responsive on the clean tones, OD very decent.
Dark Terror!!! That’s my fav! But I’d like to hear all these through a Mesa 2x12
Very good comparison video. Really showed me the weakness of some, and the broad range of others. IMO: 1st-Tweaker, 2nd-Orange TH30, 3rd Orange Dark Terror.

For modern gain, my preference is the Orange Dark Terror. For clean tone, I prefer the Egnator Tweaker 15 (surprisingly, better than Fender.).
The Egnater sounds good across the board. Excellent demo.
My dude!!!! Actually making gear videos that help people make decisions!!!!! Bless you and the progenitor responsible for your existence ❤️
the Marshall JVM-1 and the Orange TH30 were my favorites. I was really shocked and disappointed in the fender. the rest were very good and held up nicely. good video
All of the Oranges sounded great, but especially the TH30. The 5150III sounded really good too
The Orange amps are like a high end belgian ale and the others are like miller light
I'm gonna go in no particular order
Th30
EVH
Tweaker
Dark
They all sound great and have that midrange thing that good amps have while still being supported with the low end
Man you put so much effort into this vid and it shows. Great shootout! I just ordered a Dark terror, can't wait to play with it lol.
I really appreciate the fact that you play a lot of chords and palm mutes because as a simple 3 chord punk guitarist I can actually relate 👍👊
Now this is how to do an amp comparison! I liked the Egnater the best followed by the Orange TH30. Those two were far above the rest.

I don’t remember the specifics but the tweaker line used transformers from a third party...said party switched some of the internals of their transformers which caused higher failure rates (egnater didn’t know this). The new transformers say ELITE on them, that’s how you know you’re getting one of the reliable ones. It’s been a while since I did the research so I don’t remember the specifics. I own the tweaker, fun amp
Had mine a few years w no issues very versatile. Not extremely dirty but decent tight tone all over
I've had both the Egnater and TH30 and both are pretty awesome. However, I don't think it was fare to put the TH30 since it has a lot more power to it. Even if you use half the wattage it will still respond different compared to the others, which is why it has more bass and the distortion is a lot cleaner. Taking the TH30 out, my favourite is the Egnater, although it could still use a bit more distortion ;)
+1
I know it is only for 2019 ones but i think the Laney IRT SLS is also a really reliable option. Thank you for the video!
I'm generally a Marshall fan, I actually liked it "the least" I think the TH30 sounds the best, close second on every other amp but the Marshall I'd rank 3'rd
Probably cause it's using triodes for power tubes. They sound way thin.
The best guitar amp comparison on YT!!
Finally ! the comparaison i wanted !
great work !!!
miss the prs mt15
Good comparison. And leaves me wanting a TH30 where I hadn't before. Damn that thing just sounds good.
woah the EVH has an incredible rumble under under that gain
I think the Dark Terror is the best considering the Quality-Price-Ratio. The TH30 is my favourite but it's a lot expensive :c
Marshall and Fender disappointed me :/
Pretty much agree entirely. Want that TH30 but can't justify the price. DT it is. Really not loosing too much for about half the price.
Jonny Miller I love both of them (DT and TH30), but in a live setting the prize difference becomes apparent. The additional headroom from the TH30 makes the amps feel like night and day
Awesome video, I love how you organized the different clips for a direct sound comparison. Thank you!
I just bought a Marshall DSL1CR.
It is actually great.
It's funny I ordered it from zzounds so I could play in my apartment.
The funny?
My apartment building burned down before it arrived.
Hey at least it wasn't in the apartment when it happened.
Now I'm living in a 19 foot class c motor home out in the boonies.
Now I can play my big amps and who would care?.
I do dig that dark terror though
I was 7nsure between the three and dark terror,after watching this I went out and got the dark terror as it excels in every area.
Honestly, I could make any of these amps work well for me. Very thorough work, great demo!
Gotta love the Hawthorne Heights riff for the clean demo
Why wasn't the Peavey 20w 6550 included?

In my head it sounds a lot like the EVH... Absolutely no idea if I'm right tho! 😂
@@Granite165 There's some heavy treble filtering in the first gain stage to cut down on hiss further down in the line. You can more than make up for it with EQ and presence. Also, most people aren't getting past 2 on the EVH volume where shift into it's real tonal character is heard.
Man that EQ sweep with looper is so helpful, amazing format of videos!
Thanks mate, stole the idea off Henning Pauly and Ryan Bruce, then added my own spin 👍
This was a great shootout! Thanks for taking the time to edit all those clips together. Must have taken ages! Much appreciated!
I'm still happy with Orange and Marshall sounds in both channels
The dark terror is amazing at everything! Just wish it had a reverb knob
True but only a digital would fit so why not choose your own pedal?
Lol, hawthorne heights... Great demo 👍
