@bradleyard4195 2 года назад

If I had a 2x12 cab laying around still (sold it to my brother), I'd get this to run in-between my two 15-watt tube amps as a wet-dry-wet setup. It's probably the first solid state head I've heard in a long time that I was impressed by.

@bradleyard4195 2 года назад

That little amp sounds pretty good actually! I feel like small amps like this are starting to catch on with guitar players like short scale basses have been catching on with bass players. The other guitarist in my band used a Spark amp for a few gigs recently and just mic'ed it into our PA system and it actually sounded pretty good!

@moparbryan 2 года назад

I’d like to see someone run this thing as a preamp into a tube power amp just for fits&shiggles you can’t take these too seriously. That said I have ordered this one, and I have the Bogner and Friedman. The Bogner sounds really good! I haven’t AB’d it and it’s clearly not a $5000 amp but it sound really cool and is very articulate meaning it roars but turn down the volume knob on your guitar and it cleans up well. Looking forward to this one

@gtrman69777 2 года назад

I would love to hear your opinion between this and the Bogner and Friedman. I'm trying to decide which one to get.

@moparbryan 2 года назад

@@gtrman69777 well I haven’t gotten this one yet but of the others the Bogner is definitely my favorite. It doesn’t have as much gain as the others but it just sounds more full, you hear more definition. The Diezel is cool but very compressed, very “modern” not bad just different. The Friedman well it hard to explain it’s like it’s just flat there’s a scooped mid frequency that I just can’t get out of it. Sounds muted or something it’s hard to explain but I’ve had others tell me the same thing. Don’t know if that helps but that’s imho

@gtr1952 2 года назад

Please set up a wet dry wet rig with three different mini heads. Run some good delay and reverb pedals into them. Then Have FUN.

@francoreyes2063 2 года назад

If you already have a loud solid state head with a good clean channel I recommend just getting some rad distortion pedals instead. I recommend the sonicake shark or golden brownie. Maybe a Donner metal head if you’re playing metal.

@IamMusicNerd 2 года назад

I think this is a nice idea for someone who dreams of having a Soldano, but will never ever be able to afford a real one. I don’t think anyone will be recording anything too serious with it, or even gigging with it, but for just playing around at home, I think it sounds pretty good for a $250 solid state amp. Just wish they had included the clean channel, but beggars can’t be choosers.

"Not a real Soldano" its clearly real. Its right there, it makes sound, has Soldano on it. Seems real to me. Just because it doesnt use outdated tube tech, doesn't make it "not a real" one

@justmehere6094 2 года назад

What volume levels did you try it at? EVERY demo has it at MV=6 or more. Which on a 30watt amp, even a class D ss, is fairly loud. How is it at low/bedroom/APT FRIENDLY volumes

@icenic_wolf 2 года назад

It's solid-state, it'll sound just about the same at lower volume levels (depending on what speaker/cab you're playing it through). Probably everyone else just didn't want to adjust their audio interface gain (too much) so they turned it up till it matched the approx volume of their regular rigs.

@Russell_Optics 2 года назад

All the boutique amp makers seem to have come out with these very close to each other. They seem to be more of a gimmick to sell to the guys/gals that don't want to spend 3k~5k on a real one. I wonder when the Dumble & Two-Rock will arrive ? Basically a pedal in a small 30watt solid state amp.

@mal2ksc 2 года назад

But if you can get a vanity fanservice product that also happens to be useful and a couple hundred bucks... what's the harm? Sure you're not going to want more than one or two, they are one-trick ponies. But that has its place.

@riverstone5994 2 года назад

I don’t think dumble and two rock belong to boutique amp distribution. That’s the common factor here. Besides cheaper stuff is virtually always the main seller for everyone. Also volume on the real thing is crazy. People be buying the main one just to have it. Almost no one need that much power

@Russell_Optics 2 года назад

@@riverstone5994 I agree 100%. I have a Mig-50 and it can make your ears bleed turned up past 6. I can't imagine the 100 watt SLO.

@devilsguitaristmusic 2 года назад

These mini amps are all made by the same company, Boutique. They make amps or pedals for all these brands, Freidman, Soldano, Bogner, Wampler, etc. All these mini heads are basically just a pedal that this company already makes and it's combined with a solid state power supply. I don't know if it's so much a gimmick because most of the pedals are well respected but they're definitely not for the same person that has a real SLO. Boutique doesn't make Two Rock or Dumble amps or pedals so it's unlikely that you'll see this type of mini version of those amps.

@GuitarversumSandraSherman 2 года назад

The use of those tiny heads escapes me. One has to carry a box, at least an 10" speaker makes sense here, anyway. Heads aren't super heavy. The differnce in carying weight from a normal head plus box to this thing isn't that much differnce. If I I don't want to carry much I use a Helix, Kemper etc. But this kinda combination doesn't make sense to me.
