Blackstar 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Amps 

I feel the same about my Ghost Fret! Im almost not worthy..

It just doesn't sound good in general, at least not with the new stock pickups. I don't know why anyone would decide to put those in their guitars.

FunkyDrummer such a harsh opinion... Really think you are.being over critical

I like the pick ups they are unique the cleans are fantastic

Someone once called a looper the worst pedal ever...because it kept playing back the crap he played! I know how good my equipment can sound, because I've heard others play my rig!

mad3arber I second that! Do we have a name yet?

mad3arber i

Sorry 'bout that - it was the iPad's fault

mad3arber brand new right off the shelf!

Cheers Everyone - Baby Phoebe is doing great too.

"A video"? "Two hours"? Puh-leeze... We need - neigh, *demand* a whole separate CHANNEL for all that good stuff!...

Seriously!!!! I've been waiting for that video for years lol!!

I'm not sure if i find it funny or sad that you people think one could fit all their "PG13" moments into ONE single video :P Hence my thought about an entire *CHANNEL* dedicated to that.

KhronX You're right KhronX. I didn't see your post at first but I definitely concur man. Much better to have a separate channel than a week long video lol

Ah, there we go. Glad to hear i wasn't talking (10000%) utter nonsense x)

LOL

Lmaoo

Word!

I'd like to offer a counter-opinion based on my experience - mine was like a guitar's corpse. I sold it and now it's some other poor sod's problem. Anyway, even if I didn't hate the brand, I can relate to people wondering why the guitar being used is one that almost no-one watching will have. It's a gear demo, using something more familiar like a strat, LP or super-strat style when testing an amp would allow the greatest number of people to relate to how they might be able to make it sound.

I don't get this argument at all. First, you hate(!) a brand based on the experience of one bad apple? Didn't you test it beforehand? Even if you order one and it's bad, with most retailers you can send it back and get another one. EVERY brand has bad apples sometimes. Hell, I played a 6000€ CS LP once and to me, it didn't sound as open and lively as a 600€ knockoff I tried shortly before, and a Standard afterwards. Just my experience. I own a ML-3 Traditional of the old line and it's the best guitar in my collection right now, I play it definitely the most. It sings and is alive and for me, it's the best Tele I've yet played (and I ordered it without testing :D)! Chapmans are basically that: Strats, Teles and LP versions in a price range most of the viewers shop in, I assume anyway, but better quality than most other brands in that range. My experience. And then, if you think you can learn from videos like this, how YOU can make the amp sound, then you're delusional anyway. At best, you get an idea how the amp sounds in general, its basic tones. And then you can determine, if you're interested in trying it out to see if it's the right thing for you. Lee is actually playing a strat, but I would never assume to sound anything like that, since I do not own a Fender Custom Shop Strat and a mexican made Strat or some cheap Squier is never going to sound like that... tl;dr: I don't care what they play in these videos, every guitar and player sounds different anyway. I like the tones they demonstrated here and I'm going to check out the amps and try them out to find out if one of them is for me

Yup, these videos are to make you decide whether you want to plug into one on your next music store outing, not choose your next piece of gear. Besides that, go to the Fender RU-vid channel and tell me how many Gibson guitars you can find in videos, I guarentee you'll find more non-Chapman guitars on Rob's and the Anderton's channels. Rob would have to be a complete and utter moron not to take advantage of these videos to promote his brand.

I own one they are great

Siem Hendriks Agreed. I would love to see more lesson-type videos from DP+Ariel. I actually got a lot from their respective lessons for the Capt.

I totally agree,...he should use whatever he wants to use,...and it fits perfectly since his name is Chapman too 😉😁

They think it’s using a popular platform unfairly. Just a bunch of butt hurt goons.

Flownimo well it is his brand. It'd be a bit strange of he'd named his own brand some random last name

He has made chapman guitars to sound and feel like he really likes, so I think it's pretty obvious why he uses them.

Maybe because they are crappy guitars and people would rather see him play a good guitar when he demonstrates gear. Personaly I would rather not see him play at all because he cant play anything but mindless shredd

The LT Dual is so underrated

I have both HT (the big valve driven pedal yeah?) and LT Dual. Both cool AF

OliLix looks Nice though

Isn't that Ariel Posen's strat?

OliLix is

Its freaking beautiful, id take that over a lot of stuff

adamscottv I believe it's actually (Danish) Pete's guitar. I'm PRETTY sure he said it's a combination of a '60s (64?) neck and a different body.

New band name, dude.

Anthony DeVito I'm 50 years old and have always thought a chode was 'that which is excitedly emitted,' not the emitter itself. That's why I subscribed. For the education.

ben-hurpeez That was actually my first thought when I clicked on this video XD

Just like the last quarter millennia, eh?

I would kill for that. Actually thinking of having one modded into a head

I own one and I'm super glad they came out with a non anniversary edition for everyone to enjoy. Blackstar is killing it lately

Hiwatt pushed their KT88 amps as far as 400w!

Richard Harrold I know and I think Randall make a 400w amp.

Pretty sure that'll be solid state? Wattage with SS doesn't equate to tube watts. I think the ultimate iteration of the Fender Bassman also hit 400w. John Chambers built a 400w stereo amp, 2 channels each with 4 KT88s pushing 200w a side, supposedly a 600w (2 x 300w) version also got built. He also did a ONE THOUSAND WATT monster (1015w RMS) using four 813 valves, which make KT88s look like LEDs in comparison... www.chambonino.com/construct/const9.html

They didn't mess about in the 60s and 70s did they?

Blackstar makes a HT-5 Metal...

That's where I am at. Bassbreaker15 combo owner looking at either the Series One EL34 or 10th anniversary KT88 for roughly what I paid for the Bassbreaker.

their modeling amps are nothing special but i mean, fuck modeling. the best use for one is to play sequenced shit from the computer while you play guitar through a tube or solid state

Agreed. I have the Artist 15 now, and I leave it on an amp stand. I'm not a tall guy, so I have to really get close and lean over it to adjust settings. It's very inconvenient.
