Love the way you play ❤😊 That Blackstar sounds amazing🎉 Bought a Blackstar Fly3, after watching your review on the sweet beast. It’s just what I needed for a practice amp, all the sound without too much loud, since the neighbors might blow a head gasket! Such is life…
The little 3 watt Orange micro Crush is awesome as well. Tiny and also works of a 9v battery, and it has a speaker out, so you can plug it into a 2x12 or even 4x12. Seriously brilliant little thing for 40 bucks.
Oooh this is gonna be a purchase down the line for me. Already loving the tones you can get out of Architect with the ID Core 40. Maybe once I manage to concentrate on the actual lesson book instead of screwing around looking up tabs and fiddling with sliders I can justify it ;)
So I take it this can go straight to a desk or PA? So you rock up to the venue with that and a geetar and bang, your sound, without lugging amps around, or playing through the venues crappy amps.
So a class D amp signal with digital processing from your tone fingers into our lovely ears. Lovely. I better get my tube headphone preamp to enjoy the harmonic rich experience straight from youtube compressed audio through my digital made in china smartphone. What the heck am I talking about? Rock on Dagan! :)
Looks like UK setting is actually based on the Vox AC30, not a Marshall. From the manual: "UK - ‘Classic’ valve preamp based on a much-loved British Class A amplifier of the early ’60s. A low to medium gain preamp that can be used clean, warm or mildly overdriven. Popular choice for a ‘pedal platform’ or as a responsive crunch tone" Hopefully they come out with a high gain version for more modern styles.
I didnt know Hellhammer of Mayhem know guitar that well. Lol. Anyway, Amped 1 is an interesting product. I use modellers but never get the chance to blast the sound at full 100w volume.
I've noticed that the pedal used in this video has the input on the left and loop on the right, but on the blackstar website the input is on the right and loop is on the left?
Can you turn the fx loop off in the preset mode. So say have a ksr ceres preamp in fx loop with it set to flat and linea then hit preset to activate a fender clean sound?
@TheBoss0Time hahaha not getting rid of my tube amps hahaha no way BUT this is truly doing an amazing job I honestly think they found the missing link between tubes and solid state amps
@Christian Lee Vasquez It's the first solid state amp/pedal that feels like a tube amp under the fingers. I've done all the comparisons, and it has the feel and touch at last. I've used mine live since they came out. It is a great product to use and mega easy to set up and tweak if you need. The cab rig simulated sounds through a pa are excellent.
@@KM-302Yes!!!! I played it live already and it was like playing through my tube amp, i actually played it against a full stack mesa and the AMPED 1 cut through the mix better than the mesa, it was truly crazy !
The problem with all these things is: they cost more than a Boss Katana head. And they have a fraction of the features. The Katana head is still the king.
Tubes don't have tone. So it's absurd that it has different "tube" settings. This reinforces that false belief. The difference between a Fender and a Mesa amp is not the tubes. It's the EQ circuit. What's even more damning, is that you can flatten out the amplification curve to on several amps so that they sound exactly the same outside of volume.
Sorry but you're way off. I've spent the last 10 years studying the difference of various power tubes and they absolutely influence the end result. And by 'study' I mean performing frequency response and THD measurements. Even a different cab or speaker in the cab changes the reactance which impacts the performance of the tubes and the end-resulting sound. It depends on the amp design, too, of course. The 'feedback factor' is usually 10-20 which flattens the FR out somewhat, but when presence is introduced it changes the FR and THD a lot. Presence is a deliberate bypass of the negative feedback, usually around 400-500 Hz so that the low end stays tight while the midrange and top end are enhanced by harmonic components which gives that 'sparkly' tone that you can't get by EQ alone. I'm sorry but I think you're stating what you wish was the case versus the reality of things. For simplicity's sake I wish you were right though!
While this looks like yet another nice take on the pedal board amplifier, it is insulting to me that Blackstar felt it necessary to steal the name, marketing (100 watt amp in a box), shape, chassis, and whatever else from another man's product. Would it have killed them to come up with an original name?
Woah, how do we dumb it down more? Quality of life is really taking a nose dive. We can’t afford the real products, so we get to buy fake stuff. The electric guitar is a toy now.
