Hey, I’m Toby. I make no nonsense guitar gear reviews on RU-vid.
I keep the content structured, concise and straightforward, allowing viewers to make their own decisions. I've worked with some amazing brands over the last few years including Orange, Marshall and Blackstar.
Got something for me to demo or want a chat? E-mail me at the business inquiries link below. I don't bite 😃
This is probably pointless now, but the Boss Katana has a full analog preamp section that is a continuation of the TubeLogic technology they've developed years ago. The only thing digital is the fx section. Power amp is class A/B too.
Ever since I sold my fender blues jr I can sleep at night after 5 mos it fried circuits and blew tubes guitar center farmed out the fix I’ll I’m over unreliable tube amps I’m considering Katana gen 3 artist blue tooth attachment and stereo headphones can also do RU-vid backing tracks and control settings w iPhone 👍 free at last hallelujah
Wouldn't own either but the orange sounds way better... I'm not saying that because I hate boss products. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, orange smokes it.
Listening with headphones. In the pedals section in particular, starting at about 3:13, I hear what sounds like stereo separation. Can you comment on how these were recorded and processed? I can't understand why I would be hearing stereo. Thanks for the great video.
That poor Fender got absolutely left in the dust compared to the Marshall, Orange, and Vox. But to me it's definitely a toss up between the Orange and the Vox.
The Plexi is more open and more "classic rock" sounding than the JCM, but as far as I'm aware that's all in the fact it doesn't have a master volume, which sadly limits home use. I have the SC20 and it's amazing! I found that rolling the treble back a little bit, boosting the mids and gets you that little bit closer to the plexi tones. not quite the same, but great to my ears.
Just stumbled onto this since I just scored a JR15 to add with my OR15, great job man! Not sure if anyone caught this, but the fact that you used a Heritage 30 made me smile, as I LOVE that speaker! The OR15 sounded fierce through my Marshall 1960A cab, will find out how this JR15 will sound. Now to look for a Tiny Terror, and a Brent Hinds Terror, to add! 🤘🏾
I find it hysterical that the all analogue amp here has a built in tuner and the one that has all digital smarts and modelling doesn't. What were you thinking Boss?
i am really appreciating the Orange Amps much more after this.... i just wish they had the more traditional controls and lose the hieroglyphics.... and their dirt gets too... fuzzy but just before it gets too fuzzy it sounds great... my overall pick... if someone said you can have just ONE of these amps... id walk away with the Egnater... peace
I work professionally with those two and I record a looot of music, the strat has that metallic low-end that is not suit for distorted genres except if you are going for a crushed john frusciante / red hot tone or strummed stuff. The neck pickups on the strat are immaculate, and that's another thing. Les Pauls are easier to mix in heavier rock, easier to place, and the tone is not metallic but really creamy even on the bridge pickups.
