Damn bro. I don’t know how you write riff after riff for these demos. You’re the metal Pete Thorn of as far as I’m concerned. Kudos and awesome stuff. Jealous of that room!
Had to pause at the 19 min mark to let you know that it's clear you've had some breakthroughs in working around the medical condition you're dealing with. I'm stoked to the core to see it.
Although I’m happy with my SLO-100 clone I built, and I don’t plan on buying another amp anytime soon… I love this amp and would consider it if I was in the market! Great demo video you have made. Earned my subscription! Take care!
I've never heard of Zuta, however, after watching your video, this amp got my attention and followed their instagram. Thank you for showing this awesome product.
Love the thumbnail, man! I've never thought this, but man considering it's name, the sounds it's after, and the tone, it's like the amp was made for me! 😍 Incredible looking video, songs, and out of this world tones!
Man i think i’m in love with this amp and pedals. As an old school guy but open for modern stuff i like the amp design that similar to an SSL console switches. Sleek anodized materials, clean back panel, everything is perfect for my liking. Wish i could try or buy it. Nice demo btw!
Even for a meat and potatoes guy like myself this amp is wonderfully functional....I Like it... The pedal boards are well thought out too.... PS, you're lead playing has come ahead quite a lot Jon, sounding great mate...!
This video was fucking great. You’re playing the Delivery the app itself like shit awesome. When you brought out the Meshuggah signature being a huge fan, I was like yes this video is all the wind wind possible.
the title should be " how can a riff be this good?" all sick AF riffs, man. U rule. the zuta amps seem to have a nice clean visual aesthetic for modern players.
This is the 3rd time in my life where I am really impressed by an amp. The first one was the ENGL Retrotube and the 2nd one was the Friedman BE-100. The Zuta is in good company.
Hey Dude, amazing work. I really dig the clean demo, it reminds me some Opeth vibes that I love. Heavy tones and riffs amazing as well. What a great amp and demo 🔥🤘🔥
When listening to the first demo I tried to make out the character of the amp. well it's mid forward, very modern and VERY tight. Also, love the harmony section on the first demo
ouaaaah, un truc de fou cet ampli! What a killer amp. This is THE AMP for everything! Awesome. Of course price is at his level, but so awesome. Hope they will get success. Well done Jon 👍
I just love the sell of 'its rack mounded so you can store your large collection of amps' ...im picturing a wall covered with amps 😅 i have one (and a couple of small ones) it makes sense and sounds like a nice problem to have lol
Great sounding amp. For something that costs the same as a car it should. Resale return for this would be miserable. My 6505+ 120w cost $800 and destroys. Nice to see these innovations but who are they catering to with a $6,384.00 amplifier? To much ouch for my taste and I own a ton of studio rack gear. Awesome demo as always John.
@@SonicDriveStudio my question is do i get the same quality with fm3 vs apollo twin for recording electric guitar? plus i would have the simulations and everything else!😀
Excellent demo as always, Jon! I have noticed that the video quality has drastically improved over the last couple of weeks. May I ask you which cameras are you using now?
How come it pops when you change from 6L6 and El34. Mine does not do that maybe could be the mic. The channel switching is super smooth and also when you switch power tubes. Nice video review killer jams
I think this one is more for hard rock, post-grunge style of music rather than heavier metal styles. It has the boxy sound of a Vox and the edge of a Line-6.
I really liked the crunch tone but i feel it lacks a bit of character with the high gain tones and the clean tones, there's clarity but it doesn't have that punch
Almost 3600.- for the Zuta GBG 120 with the effects you use it will be almost 4500.- quite a lot. But it sounds good and it doesn't look like all the other amps.
John, what is the material you use for a mute on the nut, seems all your guitars have that, I use the big fuzzy ones from Sweetwater called “Gruv/gear” which work but are kinda in the way for playing open Chords. Or is it just vinyl electrical tape….looks fuzzy on video😊
Amp sounds great along with the riffs! Serious question maybe someone here can answer for me, is there a reason besides preference to down pick alternate string riffs? I alternate pic almost everything and hybrid pick when necessary. Thoughts?
I'm not that good of a player but I keep practicing and am trying to get better. I only just got back into guitar before in 2019 pandemic. @@SonicDriveStudio
❤ Yes Axe-Fx works perfectly in the FX loop of the ZUTA GBG120 you choose between serial/parallel and the reverbs and delays are amazing ✅ but personally I love the Lexicon PCM70 and the TC M6000 + TC 2290 + TC1210 + Eventide H3000 🔥🚀
"Stupid" question: Is it possible to use a 120 watt amp with an attenuator like the one in the Torpedo Captor X at home for practice or is it overkill/bad for the sound of the amp and to loud for that? Best regards
I use it with a Fryette Power Load IR at home. I have to keep the master volume down to not clip the internal IR, but to me it sounds great anyway. You can use it to higher volumes with an external IR. And to heat your flat in the winter. It might be overkill, considering you could get an Axe FX or something for less money. But what I like about the GBG120 is the immediacy of the controls. It really is nice to twist the knobs without the feeling you could destroy your "one setting" as the controls are usable to their end positions and are not just working at one setting and 5° left or right. You can turn the EQ knobs all the way up and down and it does something useful.
hm. ok. its great. is it better? no reference. comparison vids dont pay. itsok, your a salesman, a great one. but to charge 3500 for a amp full of microcontrollers... and not INCLUDE MIDI# in 2024? what is this? anyone selling smthg above 400 with dsp and microcontrollers inside charging extra is either lazy or greedy. revoloutionary? well, if someone claims that hughes and kettner probably did it decades ago, and flopped caus guitarists are a bit backwards.

I disagree. It is very expensive, that's true. But you get essentially a Fender Deluxe, a Marshall JTM, a JCM, a 5150, and a Recto in a box (well not exactly, but you get the idea). So while expensive, I would say it is good value for the price.

That room is worth more than my house.

Thank you, I appreciate it! I've just been pushing myself more but the outcome is good musically!
You have the sickest riffs of anyone on RUclips. If I want to be inspired, I come here.
Thanks so much!
They finally did it. An amp that sounds like all the amps.
Trade your ears in...!
@MickH60 explain?
I can confirm the GBG120 is incredibly fun to use! It is a library of amps, the claim "from clean to extreme" is not just marketing fuss.
Simply the finest reviews on RUclips.
❤
Ever since I saw these I was amazed. It’s like he thought of everything. Honestly one of if not the best amplifiers on the planet. Amazing.
❤
It's a great amplifier for sure, but your guitar playing makes it even better. I really enjoy your guitar sounds and your guitar playing!
Although I’m happy with my SLO-100 clone I built, and I don’t plan on buying another amp anytime soon… I love this amp and would consider it if I was in the market!

I have met the Zuta guy here in gothenburg at a guitar exhibition when they were new in business. I like the small first head they sold.
LA25! I think they still make it
@@SonicDriveStudioyes it was that one. It was great for 80's guitar tone, can't get enough of plexi
The clean channel demo sounded similar in to bleeding me :)))) Nice!
Great demo as always. Very cool amp.
Hey Dude, amazing work. I really dig the clean demo, it reminds me some Opeth vibes that I love. Heavy tones and riffs amazing as well. What a great amp and demo 🔥🤘🔥

Damn! Zuta has it figured out!! They make all there pedals uniform to slide onto a track so it looks like one piece of equipment !! Slick!

Nice as always, love how the pedal stack up.

Baskim, that's a really cool amp. Congrats!

What a beast of an amp!
love the Zuta stuff! Baskim gave me a Triax boost a couple years ago and It's the best hi gain boost/gate combo i've ever tried. Great Stuff.
That's a killer pedal!
ouaaaah, un truc de fou cet ampli! What a killer amp. This is THE AMP for everything! Awesome. Of course price is at his level, but so awesome. Hope they will get success. Well done Jon 👍

Thank u for this videoo.
Such an amazing amp❤

Killer demo dude!!!
Thanks man!
This was killer Jon🤘🏼
❤
Thanks! :)
Baskim Zuta was involved with the making of Bogner ecstasy which I was not aware of at the time I tried the small 25 watt Zuta head.
sounds killer Jon 🙌 love the custom pedals/rail sort of setup as well, super clean and pro
Thanks Paul! Much appreciated!
Channel 2 sounds the best…
Especially with the GBG switch on…holy hockey sticks!!
❤
Definitely pricey but on the other hand, what more could you possibly ask for in a tube amp? The versatility is crazy! Grym stärkare Baskim!
❤
Other than here,Kdh's channel is the only other place I've seen a Zuta amp.👍Sounds good!!!

Dude what a cool looking amp. However 4k is a bit much, love the look though!
❤
the only head you could ever need!
❤
I tried this amp at the guitar summit, it surely sounds awesome :) \m/
❤
I thought this was a new Line 6 Vetta for some reason and got really excited.
Nope, this doesn't digitally model analog, this is analog!
come back when you've got a 20 or 30 watt version. i don't play stadiums. nor do the vast majority of the amp market. well played.
It sounds great at low volumes, just an fyi
❤
Great sounding amp.
For something that costs the same as a car it should.
Resale return for this would be miserable.
My 6505+ 120w cost $800 and destroys.
Nice to see these innovations but who are they catering to with a $6,384.00 amplifier?
To much ouch for my taste and I own a ton of studio rack gear.
Awesome demo as always John.
Man this thing sounds like a JCM 800 and a 5150 had a baby. I want one
❤
It reminds me of the old Rockman amps that were popular in the 80s.
❤
Thumbs up for Zuta on the fan, if you HAVE to put a fan in there Noctua fans are the way to go and the fan has the tale tale noctua beige
What a cool amp. I'd like to see a 50w version without channel 2 or 4
❤
@@zutagrouphow about without 1 😉
Great as usual!
Thank you!
@SonicDriveStudio you're welcome
super cool amp! what audio interface do you use for your videos? do you recommend apollo twin or audient id24? thanks and great job

Fractal FM9

Holy grail amp!

That ch 4, that had me amped!!! So good! I'll but that track!

Great amp and nice EII Eclipse .
Yea, its got a "Futuristic" price on it, as well!!! HA!! I can, maybe, afford this, in the future. When im about 80
May I ask why the price bothers you so much?
@13:14 Noctua fan spotted!

How come it pops when you change from 6L6 and El34. Mine does not do that maybe could be the mic. The channel switching is super smooth and also when you switch power tubes. Nice video review killer jams
Amazing amp
Must have .. Would be kool if they offer this without the amp.
That leviathan is MUST HAVE AS WELL .
❤
I think this one is more for hard rock, post-grunge style of music rather than heavier metal styles. It has the boxy sound of a Vox and the edge of a Line-6.
Channel 3 and 4 are perfect for heavy styles! Even channel 3 can do heavy
Crazy cool Psychedelic Porn Crumpets type playing in the clean demo
I don't know what that is but if it's cool I'll take it 😊
Hard choice, but this amp or the Diezel VH4? Hoping to see a VH4 video soon.
@@Rpaterson33 they sound pretty different imho. The form factor and features are also quite different
@@SonicDriveStudio im between the two, both great amps but I have to figure out what I want as far as sound
I really liked the crunch tone but i feel it lacks a bit of character with the high gain tones and the clean tones, there's clarity but it doesn't have that punch
Fwiw, in the room when you play it for yourself it has a lot of punch
Almost 3600.- for the Zuta GBG 120 with the effects you use it will be almost 4500.- quite a lot.
But it sounds good and it doesn't look like all the other amps.
❤
$4k & I’m out of kidneys to sell.
Sounds good, though.

John, a complete review of the e-ii eclipse in black natural burst please
Review in short: it's a killer guitar!
John, what is the material you use for a mute on the nut, seems all your guitars have that, I use the big fuzzy ones from Sweetwater called “Gruv/gear” which work but are kinda in the way for playing open Chords.
Or is it just vinyl electrical tape….looks fuzzy on video😊
Foam rubber
Very cool amp - seems weird to not have midi with all those features?
It will have midi soon with the new device as shown in the video
Came for the amp but... DAMN was that intro song cool.
@@kettnsaeg glad you liked it! :)
Amp sounds great along with the riffs! Serious question maybe someone here can answer for me, is there a reason besides preference to down pick alternate string riffs? I alternate pic almost everything and hybrid pick when necessary. Thoughts?
Thanks! Regarding the picking: I don't really think about it, I just do whatever sounds the most solid
@@SonicDriveStudio thank you! I’m a bass player by trade and play with my fingers but picked up guitar during lockdowns. I appreciate the advice!
Fancy.

I was just about to buy the Zuta GBG120 last night, I was waiting for KDH's full review. I think ill Pull the trigger 😊
You won't regret it!
I'm not that good of a player but I keep practicing and am trying to get better. I only just got back into guitar before in 2019 pandemic. @@SonicDriveStudio
It does sound amazing, and your riffs are awesome......but 4500 euro?
It BETTER be good.
It IS good!
It's amazing
Yeah, I was also wondering how the Zuta can only be 4.500 EUR, when a Soldano SLO100 Rack is 4.999 EUR... 😉
Or didn't you mean it this way? 🤔😜🤣
Love all the features but for the asking price, idk...
There are amps out there with way less features that have a higher price tag
Killer riffs, not as sold on the amp itself. Feel like a recto does everything this does better.
It's very different than a Recto. This amp is capable of so much more
Hmm a separate midi.... later.... Very 80's :O
That's a cool amp, but with all that other stuff in it, it will make it that much harder to fix, I would think anyway
Baskim assured me that the innards are arranged in such a way that makes it very serviceable
@SonicDriveStudio we that would be a nice thing a manufacturer would do. Do they alow the owner a wiring diagrams or do they want you to send it in?
It should be named GBG031!

Wow!
I'll take that!
£3,300 ! FFS !
One word - Axefx !
❤ Yes Axe-Fx works perfectly in the FX loop of the ZUTA GBG120 you choose between serial/parallel and the reverbs and delays are amazing ✅ but personally I love the Lexicon PCM70 and the TC M6000 + TC 2290 + TC1210 + Eventide H3000 🔥🚀

Zuta Suit Riot
How much ?
Pricing can be found on the website
Someone has been listening to In Flames I see...
I do have all their albums! This amp was designed by Baskim who is from Gothenburg so that intro song was meant as an ode to that in a way :)
@ well A+ John. Amp sounds great and your playing keeps getting better and better
Sound of Gothenburg❤ the Gothenburg sound before was all about the 5150 which In flames used.
The price is $3999, 😅
Sounds killer!!!
Its close to 4k it better sound good bruh.
Well obviously it does!
@SonicDriveStudio yes for 4k it better
hm. ok. its great. is it better? no reference. comparison vids dont pay. itsok, your a salesman, a great one. but to charge 3500 for a amp full of microcontrollers... and not INCLUDE MIDI# in 2024? what is this? anyone selling smthg above 400 with dsp and microcontrollers inside charging extra is either lazy or greedy.

Have you looked inside?
There's (( WAY MORE )) Than enough F'ed Up things going on in the world .... RIGHT NOW.
I bet it's a nightmare and when it breaks
Have you looked inside? Seems a little presumptuous
Line6? Nothing new here
Line 6??
@SonicDriveStudio the technology already been done by line6, copied by other brand like Vox, Marshall, boss katana, keeper etc and now zeta. Nothing new
What you're saying doesn't make sense... the Zuta is a fully analog tube amp. It's not a modeler
@SonicDriveStudio still the similar storytelling though
To me I wouldn't pay this much for this amp . A. Resale value wouldn't be worth it vs a good ole marshall
Who buys an amp to resell it though? Carpe diem! :)
4500€ ???? AND NO MIDI????? sorry. but nope...
I would like a villa, can't afford it though. Am I going to complain about it? No
Sorry bro but not for $4000. Way over priced amp
I disagree. It is very expensive, that's true. But you get essentially a Fender Deluxe, a Marshall JTM, a JCM, a 5150, and a Recto in a box (well not exactly, but you get the idea). So while expensive, I would say it is good value for the price.
@@m.a.6478❤
It’s definitely meant for an end game purchase so 4000$ is a good price considering it does everything at the highest quality
I’m guessing u haven’t seen the price of a Wizard or Soldano rack that doesn’t have a 1/4 of these features and tones!
