Hey Arnold. I just wanted to let you know that we really appreciate the content you create. You are one of the few "real" review channels. Keep up the great work and cheers from South Africa!
ohhhh snap! lets goooooo
That opening tune was absolute fire brutha 🤘💚🤘
Damn sickest intro song yet. Got seriously Morbid Angel vibes
Hey bud, hope you guys are holding up down there. Be safe!
"Take what you do seriously do not take yourself seriously" epic quote of the century and just all-around good advice. I wonder how repairman friendly this amp is and how it will hold up over time. bummer about the clean channel and beware of the leakey standby
Glad to see you back with power brother🤘
My second favorite mini head next to the DA-20..But they are very similar haha. Both best in class.
Pretty sure someone basically said they are the same amp.
Hey man,I’ve got the Dover DA-20 already.Would I be wasting money getting this already having the Dover and is the Sigil better than the Revv G20?.Thanks
Somehow, you just make me happy dude. Thanks!
9:50 Ah yes, the moment I desperately await during every amp demo you do
That’s some brutal riffing there!
That demo song kicks fucking ass
Great tones in the intro song.
I had one of these. Lasted a month. Sold it and bought a used Single Rec. Used the 700 dollars left over to get other gear i thought I needed. Sigil seems like a very specific tool for a very specific player. Might just be my stupid opinion. But lunch box heads always seem to have weak thinness in the tone department.
Anyway. Super accurate demo and review Arnold. Plus it came with some great riffs in the intro. Good to see these reviews are as solid and as they were a couple of years ago.
Single rec is poop, rectifiers are dead for metal, to flubby, too fizzy, its been years since ive seen a mesa head on a brutal metal show stage
No replacement for displacement...Physics 101
Wow dude two killer demo songs in a row!!
Kick ass man! I'd like to run this into my Fryette PS100 to hear it with 6550's for some more "bigness"
That sums up my thoughts on this head pretty well - I got one last fall and it's great for the one thing it does, which is why I got it.
Mike loves his pre-amp tubes. I like the way it sounds-nice review, and cool riffs.
Hey Arnold, we love ya! Thanks for the review! Just keep trying to sort out what you mean by this word "cleeen"? Does not compute!? :D
Thanks for checking it out man! You are awesome!
Exactly!
love your stuff man
what a beast ! I love the general grain of this amp
huge fan of the "fuck cleans" screen :D
Dude you've got some dance moves! You got giggy with that shit 🤘😅🤘
Great and totally concise review as always man!
The tone reminds me of Ola Englund's. Excellent demo dude!
0:37 That small computer monitor message though. \m/
Sounds awesome
Sounds fantastic for that high gain stuff as it should. Also really enjoyed the more rocky sounds, very British.
Shit them chug riffs are soul crushing
Intro song was badass man. Now the amp, costs about the same as an evh 50w stealth or a revv g20, but doesn't have quite the feature set of either. Does it make up for it in tone? I get that Fortin reputation carries a premium, but is this better than an invective mh or a mt 15 even?
I have the randall diavlo. Mike fortin designed. Blows my invective away.
the grind pedal kinda sucked the beef out of the tone. I bet a drop E would sound good how you dialed it, but I found it lacking for a standard tuned riff.
People use boost pedals even when it's not necessary these days
Older boost pedals might have been better.
touche, I tend to use the boost pedal as an eq to kill that low end from my 8 strings. also I use less gain on the amp as well. for my katana I use the boost to tighten up the signal into the amp and then eq. same with my joyo mjolnir similar setup and the tones have a kick while still cutting through with the band or mic'd up. I think with an already tight amp, you gotta kick up the bass on the amp and cut some presence/treble.
Arnod......the grunge sound you have there is superb...........not sure what you are using (just the amp?).......it's dam good and that guitar really helps right
thx (the AC guitar intro)
Great tones on that beast mate (and t-shirt) 🤘🤘
wow, sounds pretty versatile and great
well...that intro kicked my ass very nicely....well done
I just got my first 7 string and was wondering what your first experience was?
dude. 7's are so much fun, I play 8 mostly these days. The 8's are tough to get a well rounded tone, but 7's are easy to work with and they're beefy as all hell.
7s are great. All I use now. Might grab a 6 again down the road but I had to make a choice on one beast axe to keep when traveling and my 7 stayed haha
Sounds badass, but you could make a cardboard box sounds good. I have the Joyo Mjolnir, and it's not the same amp at all the tone stack is very meh. However throw an EQ in the loop and it's a beeeeast. I'd give a shit and a nut for a fortin branded amp.
Mid eq knob is really powerful, affects the amp character drastically! BTW, Where’s your aristides 080s?
oh it's here. Right now it's sitting on a chair because I ran out of wall hangers and I'm trying to move a few instruments to make room.
How you compare to the PRS MT15 ? Nice video once again man!
What guitar are you using? Have a video on it?
AC Guitars / Reiver Guitars Kompakt S7
I must've missed it in the video but what cab/mic are you using for this demo?
first riff sounded like THE BERZERKER!!!!
Beast tones. Heard QC with Fortins though but I like the sound.
Yeah, fuck cleans !! 🤣 want to see you demo the Revv generator mkiii dude
That was a banger!
Heard some horror storys with the first batch. Def scared me away.
I have question how this amp on soloing? Jake e Lee, racer x street lethal album, YJM. Just name a few. I’m sure the solos would sound thicker. I’ve only seen a few videos wit leads with this amp. I have a Laney gh30r is excellent, but I wanted see other options too. Something about this amp has caught my attention
Sounds sick, but wasn't this the amp that had a standby problem? KDH had a video on it.
This one operated just fine. No standby issues.
@@ArnoldPlaysGuitar Probably only happened with the first issues of the models.
Does it have the standby buzz ?
Not at all
I didn’t hear any noise when you flicked it. Any problems with noise while in “standby” ? Serious question... there were some problems with them in the past. Appreciate the review
Not at all, and this one's been tossed around a bunch by FedEx
@@ArnoldPlaysGuitar that’s great news !!
Great review. Cleans sounded meh. Gain channel sounds like it will destroy worlds.
What is that guitar?.....that thing is SEXY!!
AC Guitars Kompakt S7
That Framus looks like a Jackson Dominion
I don’t understand the hype behind this amp. It sounds cheaply made some how. I don’t understand it. I love 95% of the tones Arnold gets too so I’m really confused.
ITS CHONKY AF
I like this amp less than plugin.Plugins sounds better than this box.I think this one is loosing on the market of small amps.
plugin? who makes it?
@@lichkrieg4898 Neural makes like 3 dif Fortin plugs and they can all get this sound. No specific plug for this lunchbox AFAIK though.
@@cmd_f5 but none of them are of the sigil, they're the bigger mostly non production models. I mean a 5150 sounds better than a 6505MH. because of course.
Sounds great but £939 for a lunchbox? Price is quite steep when you think about it. In that price range you can actually afford a Mesa Triaxis. Add £200 and you can buy a 50W power amp to that.
I love the grim blackened riff-age. BTW, how long did the doctor say you have to wear that watch band?
