BluGuitar Amp X: A Game-Changer at Namm 2024 

He wants it perfect for himself and his customers, he's very passionate about that.

Germans are always so so slow😆

The problem is it is supposed to be finished 3 years ago, then 2 years ago. He says every year it is going to be finished.

@@robertmazurowski5974 Sadly, this product gonna born dead IMO.

That’d be great but they have already blown thru 2-3 deadlines they set themselves. Done with the hype

Same here!👍 It is so refreshing to see a real musician building something that will be available to the general public and not cashing in on it. I wish all companies were like this!

Chasing perfection will ruin him.

​@@brettking2800 that is bullshit. I know Thomas so many years. He is an absolutely Sound freak in a very good way. That's exactly what makes his guitar playing and sound so special.

I am convinced this AMP X will be a total jaw dropper and change the whole way we look at amps. companies like Line 6,Neural, Fractal should be worried i know i would be if i were them! 😁

Pity they don’t sound good.

Genius ??? for what? this is old idea as old radio transistor@@officialWWM

@@officialWWMspend more time with them, they ARE quirky, I too was disillusioned initially.

Tone deaf ,

@@MS-Patriot2 I have the original Blu amp. I’ve spent hours with it but it’s now relegated to a shelf. I’ve never been able to get useable sounds out of it. It sounds like a cheap 80s solid state amp to me. Very harsh and fizzy.

Yes he has made it so evident this has nothing to do with making him money. Sure he wont turn money down after it is finished but it is not his motive.

correct but it looks like a toy

Silvertone - Silvertone lives on with Sears nearly gone.

Genius* 🤭 AmpX seems to be better than anything else out there... We'll have to wait and see.

@@nedim_guitarI always love the iron-knee of seeing that word misspelled.

@@pbosche I enjoy it too. I once saw a graffiti "Think for yorself, qestion autority". I'm down with that, but you COULD question authority a little less and just get an education that could benefit you in the fight against the system? To be fair, that graffiti was in Sweden, written by a person who isn't a native English speaker. Or, they were just being sarcastic.

@@pbosche I forgot to say, I love your spelling of irony. It's kinda funny too because I injured one of my knees about a week before your comment. But it'll be fine after a few weeks rest and rehab.

@@nedim_guitar ha, that’s fun-knee. Best with that rehab!

Yeah definitely and he is not done with it yet, Can you imagine the final amp?😱

I can’t see Tommy Talker getting it done this year he need s a good marketing manager but he talks a good game hats off wish him luck in his journey

Why did you move on from the iridium?

@@andrewsmall4865 I made a mistake, and should have kept it. I have several different amps, so it wasn't like that was my only amp, but I did love it. I got rid of it back when we were expecting the Amp-X to drop....unfortunately, LOL....that was about 3 years ago. :-0 Obviously, this is taking much longer than some of us expected. That's ok, it's not like any of us are not playing until the Amp-X comes out! :-) I will definitely get one when they come out.

@@TheChicagoTodd I agree the Iridium is a amazing unit. The only reason i do not own one is i am holding out for the Amp X. otherwise i would buy one right now. I heard a demo by Euge Valovirta and could not believe how close it was to his No.1 Marshall JCM 800! 😱 it was scary close!

@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 Yep, and I know that he is working with Thomas in getting a near exact "recipe" in the Amp-X for his "Bad Boy".....so that will be cool!

Digital control of analogue. I recon that's why the ADA-MP1 and JMP1 were so popular. The Sansamp PSA-1 too - remember that? I've still got one. The H&K Red Box sim was the best I found for recording. I had the Palmer and the Marshall SE100. They didn't match the Red Box.

Hearing meaningful differences I already can't do at this stage (with amp sims etc) but feeling meaningful differences is another matter. It's how it feels to play rather than how it sounds on a recording which is the elusive quality being strived for. (IMHO) Listening tests will probably reveal nothing. Playing tests will reveal all.

@@nikthefix8918 For me, it's the other way around. To each, his own.

Seriously? I will buy it just for that.

Yes for the product that will come out the next century due to his approach.

@@tutatis96 Doesn't matter. The important thing is that someone is actually working on it 24/7 with a passion. Which ever way you choose to look at it, we all know that something fundamental is missing in DSP. As an electronics engineer myself, I can think of many reasons why his work could ultimately make a BIG difference.

@@nikthefix8918 it does matter, perfectionism is an obstacle not a way. To me anyone has done more progress than him by a fast iterative production process, which gives more feedback and more funding leading to much better products.

My pleasure!

@@TheStudioRats in case you missed it. Shawn and David Philips from LA Sound Design will be trying the reissue Soldano X88ir tomorrow. Not sure which stand yet. I’ll let you know when Shawn gets back to me. It would be great to see you guys hook up.

and he loves Vintage Goldtops! 👍 Some of the very best sounding LP's i ever heard were Goldtops.

Not very fair to the players when the rules of the game get changed umpteen times per season.

@montygibbon1905 I know what you mean BUT that's how products get evolved into better products for consumers. The technology changes very quickly.

@@r.llynch4124 Yep. Sadly, I'm traumatised by the memory of amazing Gibson, Fender and Marshall products I sold in order to buy something "better" 😢

Time travellin' back a year... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6nVbpMBGBMw.htmlsi=Gc5d2MS_RA8_xOQP

Yeah, all the money I spent through the years of the “game changer”. I don’t even know why I suscribe to half of them anymore. They take any amp, put 18 OD pedals in front of it to see how fast it chugs, then suckers like me think I have to have one.

Besides never actually release the product cause perfection is not achievable. In 10 years we still be here waiting due to his attitude

An Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Compressor will give you clean, low volume sustain all day long.

Funny, I couldn’t stand the Strymon Iridium, I only really liked one sound on it, and playing it made me feel unnatural or something, I can’t really qualify it … just felt “wrong” to me. I’ve only just learned of the Blue thing, intrigued!

@@johnvcougarBluGuitar also has an Iridium but it’s called the Amp1 Iridium! So much better than what you’re talking about!

Yes I think the market might be a bit sniffy of this. If you're so into analogue I think you'll want control over your own effects chain. If you want multifx you'd go qc helix etc. If he'd just done an updated amp in a box with a stereo effects loop it would have been less work and sold more.

It's 42cm * 20cm, not that big at all for what it does and how it sounds/feels (I imagine it's on par or better than Mercury I have).

But it is the feel that's the key. It makes you play in a different way and that affects the sound.

In my 40 years of playing , I owned plexi, vox,fender,boogie,jcm etc etc AND great /average modelling units. I have connected these to the best available power amps(valve +transistor) +the return input on a guitar amp .Comparing the feel between a top modeller and an amp (With the cab in another room) there is only a tiny subjective difference .when you record you don't stand in the room with a loud amp trying to play along to the track. Also this device is not a modelling amp it sounds like itself which according to Tomas is something like a Marshall with a clean channel and a metal channel. Therefore it's only two main benefits could be - 1/ it feels exactly like a real marshall when you are stood in a room with it connected to a cab. I wouldn't dream of buying it until I was absolutely sure that this was the case I'm going to buy it anyway unless my dream amp was a plexi 2/ it is more compact and convenient than lugging around a big head and lots of pedals, but you might need some pedals to connect to the unit your favourites and Thomas says this himself. So there may be a possible benefit once again but I am explaining to you valid reasons why I am more than a little sceptical.

My thoughts too
