BLACKSTAR'S MAGNUM OPUS of Practice Amps! (the perfect cheap practice amp) 

Agreed…also, these new cars make my brain hurt…I just wanna turn the key, throw it in gear and go…I don’t want an apple computer with a motor😳

@@eddiejr540 Yup exactly, Don't need a hack'able car. I still drive a older 5spd manual;

It may be noted that Blackstar seemed to continue the idea of easily accessible controls (knobs) with their new Amped 2. It's the new pedal amp. It's got a lot of effects and they are controlled by knobs. That amp also has an internal power supply like the one he demo'ed.

👍👍

Yup Yup , he also hits the nail on the head with the beginner to mediocre players , which is even where his own playing resides. I can see beginners relating to him , they don't want some prodigy playing things that they will never attain. Max makes mediocrity seem ok.

I was thinking the same thing when the chord was going but to me the picked notes were muddy. I think that is my big issue the growl is nice with gain but breaks when picked in a way that clashes with the tone. Not trying to be picky lol just not digging the crunch on this one

Careful, Mr RJ -- this guy gets butthurt INCREDIBLY easily.

Ummm… probably a typo, the Blackstar Studio 10 has a 6L6 not a 6V6 (with the other two Blackstar Studio 10 models having an EL34 or KT88 power tube.) I have the Blackstar Studio 10 6L6 myself (Surf Green model and just ordered one of the limited edition red tolex KT88 Studio 10 amps on clearance for $399. Love my Studio 10 6L6-its a great plug and play tube goodness amp and perfect for home/hobbyist/studio play. But at usually about $600-700 retail-quite a bit pricier than the small solid state Blackstar amp in this demo-so not really an apples to oranges comparison. I do think that the Blackstar Studio 10 amp series (and the Vox AC10 which I also have) are some of the best bang for buck low watt tube amps-especially compared to a Fender Blues Jr or Fender Princeton Reverb reissue. Yeah the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is only a bit more expensive than the Blackstar Studio 10 but its 10lbs heavier and 40 watts and not something you can play at home at bedroom levels without buying a $300-500 well made attenuator to tame its loudness. Now if Fender were to modify the Hot Rod Deluxe to have a built in power attenuator that allowed you to drop it down from 40watts to 4 watts-Fender would probably greatly increase their sales. (Blackstar HT Club 40 which comes in EL34 or 6L6 flavors does this exact thing for similar price range and also at about 40lbs.)

@@gregoryhall3156 yeah, 6L6...but I still replaced the speaker with a Greenback. Sounds great. It's broken now. I left it on overnight and it overheated. Either the tubes are burned or the power supply or a capacitor. My local tech guy will fix it as soon as I come up with the money. Kind of sucks to have an amp burn up just by leaving it on. My Hugh's and Kettner has an automatic off timer which is really cool.

Hahaha!

Everyone knows the $150 guitar in a $2000 amp sounds better but if you did instead a $300 guitar into a $1200 amp thatd probably be optimal until you hit diminishing returns big time. Even a $700 amp really past that i guess its more volume and speaker boxes.

Come watch me play, it's all cheap and used, but damn it sounds good to me and the few bands I've been in.Nothing I have is over $300 each.Amps and guitars I've probably spent more on the few pedals I have than all guitars and amps combined. I consider myself an extreme budget player

If you want to know the amp is good use a good guitar. Otherwise how do you know which is the issue?

I play $200 guitar in $5000 tube amp with

It's a great sounding pea shooter. Love mine

Great to hear!

Yes! Those bigger ID Core amps, the 100 and the 150, are excellent.

That sounds like thats all u need. I could settle w that (w the foot ped. Tho) Thnx 4 Sharing Ruthless.I 👊

@@glennrosa234 Great for gigging. It is really loud. I have two multi effects units with amp modelling in them (Line 6 and Zoom) that I run before them, as well as a few looping pedals. Honestly it's a kick ass setup. Does absolutely everything. The Zoom effects unit has 2 12AX7 tubes in it so it's got a really warm, crunchy sound. If you get the opportunity to grab one I would highly recommend it. I have a 30 watt tube amp as well but to be honest I prefer the Blackstar.

Love my Fly 3. Such a great little, portable amp!

Ha Max, how are doing?

Naw. Fender Mustang Mini is way better than the roland micro. Has dozens of pedal chain choices and model choices.

@@superblondeDotOrg never heard of that one is it battery powered?

@@danbaer2688 The "Fender Mustang Mini" is battery powered. It is "Mustang V.2" amp inside and can run from power supply or 6 C batteries. Plus can be programmed with the Fender App using USB just like Mustang V.2 amp can be, with pedals, model amps, and cabs. It also has a USB audio interface running at 44.1k sample rate for recording guitar. Beats the overpriced "dumb" roland products in every category.

It's great until it craps out. The quality control is bad. Had mine replaced after a couple of months.

Sounds LIKE a cardboard box stock. No doubt, (NOT the band) it would sound 1/2 decent thru a bigger/better speaker array!

I love my blackstar fly for playing in living room with movie going. Just quiet enough to not piss off the wife. But mine doesn't always keep the delay on. There is a button to turn it off. A fun thing to do with it is take the headphone out and run it to the return of the fx loop on my 50watt tube head and 2x12. It sounds awesome that way and makes a great sound. Gets muddy with isf knob dimed out but put it around 9 o'clock and its great clean or high gain with a stronger power section. Should give it a try sometime.

@@chazharrison9760 Thanks for the tip, I’m gonna try it out when I get a moment. Or when I find the adapters to make it work is when I’ll give it a go. lol
