I agree too. In fact, all the Orange amps sounded really good to me. I like the Tweaker a lot as well. The Fender was easily the worst sounding. It didn't outdo any of the others in any category imo.
My top 2 are Egnater (most flexible) and Orange TH30. Amazed at how narrow and muffled Marshall and Fender sound in comparison. EDIT: This is how all amps should be demoed.
I agree the Engager was the most versatile and I thought was the best in most categories and Orange TH30 was the best in the other. The only area the others competed was in the Clean tones.
@@els1f Even better, stack two overdrives in a single looper (walrus audio makes switches or only 1 loop) and you have heavy to pure clean at the tap of one switch. Personally, i run a boss blues driver and a donner blues drive (on the warm setting) stacked, and its monstrous. Amazing clarity too!
This is genuinely the best amp shoot out ever. No talking raw audio samples from all in different styles. With back to back comparisons of the same thing. 10/10 keep up the great work.
And each clip shown pretty close to the next and not minutes of different things before switching to the next amp so you've forgotten what the first one sounded like when you get to the next.
I agree with the stated here..BUT, i have extensively tried the 007 combo in the store...sounded beautiful...high gain modern sound...not melting modern metal, but healthy modern tone..truly loved it..this vid , while great, doesnt do it justice
@@voiceofexperience I have a 30r, its a good amp. Not outstanding, but for the price point its a really nice amp, specially paired with an overdrive, also a friend of mine owns the 45 and its a great sounding amp. Honestly, from this video I would never buy a bassbreaker, but maybe the 07 is just not that good, the ones I played sound nothing like this, at all.
That Egnater amp seemed to have the most response to tone when adjusting those knobs. It just seemed to bring out a wide variety of sound that, well, sounder well rounded and nice.
I was the same for awhile, but now I love almost all of them and have an OR15, which I think is one of the best sounding amps I've heard, especially for its price! If you mainly just play at home, it is a complete work horse of a studio amp, even the cleans are incredible!
Got the tweaker a few months ago and let me tell ya: This thing isn't to be taken lightly. You get so many options soundwise with its toogle switches, it's amazing. It's a great pedal platform and if you like to play a lot of different music it's a really good choice. Don't get fooled by some forums on the web saying bad stuff about their reliability. Egnater had a problem with some materials they got from a manufacturer, but since they got information about the problems, they changed their source and put on a tight end control. One "bad" thing is, that it doesn't has as many "modern" gadget stuff as other amps. If you need a power soak, or an intern DI-Box you gotta look elsewhere.
Ive been looking at the rebel line...really want the tube mix knob for some reason lol ...honestly i think the cleans sounded the same across the board and the marshall is on the bottom of my list
@@cncnmore4505 Rebel's great, too! If you already have a good sounding clean amp, maybe try out their pedals. They got a similar function called "voicing", tweakable with a knob. I got the Goldsmith as my main OD and it basically threw off all the over drive-pedals of my board xD
THANK YOU FOR USING THE SAME TRACK IN YOUR COMPARISONS. 10/10. I am greatly thankful for your time making this so we can make an informed decision on some expensive equipment. Thank you again!
I’m loving the Egnater and the Dark Terror. Loved going over Bruce’s house in Oak Park Mi in the 90s when he built my IE-4 (red face & red box) in his basement. Those were the early Egnater days. Miss them
This was a hell of a good job at showing how every single amp has a "voice", and it will fit a specific category really well and can still do solid work "across the board". While politely pointing out, that it may not be exactly what someone is looking for. I was completely caught off guard by the Egnater T15 and the Orange TH30 - Especially the price point of the Egnater!
The TH30 sounds awesome. One of my favorite amps ever. Was quite surprised on the cleans on the Dark Terror. I've been thinking about picking one up to pair with my TH30.
Surprised at the Dark Terror for overall great sound but it seems a bit limited kinda as well, Egnater is probably best overall flexibility and the one I would actually buy first. Disappointed by the bassbreaker the most. The rest were all ok but that's it just ok. Marshall and Fender though were the absolute worst.
I own a TH30 it's the best amp I've ever owned. The vibe and bounce of this amp is indescribable, you have to play through one to know. I own Marshall, Mesa, Fender, Egnater and Peavey. When I first saw an Orange amp I thought "thats the ugliest thing I've ever seen" and didn't bother to even hear what it sounded like but, I saw Jimmy Page in a video using them and I thought I should give 'em a try. changed my life.
Very good comparison video. Really showed me the weakness of some, and the broad range of others. IMO: 1st-Tweaker, 2nd-Orange TH30, 3rd Orange Dark Terror.
I like the TH30 the best but I’m jaded being I own one. Did a lot of testing of amps before I purchased it. Beauty of it is it’s a 2 channel that can be run at 30, 15 or 7.5 watts. During this test it was running at 30 watts with the volume always around 2. This amp sounds best cranked . Especially the clean. Turn the clean channel up to about 2 OClock and it starts breaking up nice. Gotta run the th 30 volume cranked regardless of watt wattage you use and you’ll get the best tones out of it. Again, I’m jaded. I play a Les Paul and an SG straight without any effects. Amp has an effects loop too. Great video.
the Marshall JVM-1 and the Orange TH30 were my favorites. I was really shocked and disappointed in the fender. the rest were very good and held up nicely. good video
That fender amp would be great in the studio as a background layer. If you needed to prop up a wheel-less car, the fender would work well for that too. The Orange, as usual, has the best clean tones.
hats off for the effort, great job. on the other hand, since orange cab is used, all orange amps sounded best to me in terms of dynamics and the fullness of all frequencies especially hi ends were brilliant to my taste. i believe in the dominancy of speakers shaping the general sound, more than the amps. therefore, i would also like to hear the same kind of test with each brand's their own cabs intended to be used for their own vision of sound. we know evh is harsh and marshall will be mid accentuated etc. but one type of speaker wouldn't do justice to non orange amps to spread their frequency spectrum as their makers would like to impose.
Wow. This demo is perfect. I came here for the sound of the cab rather than the amps. I can hear every little feature accentuated in each amp by the cab. Good production and fantastic layout for this video. Thanks very much, you've got a new subscriber!
What a great demo. I’m surprised how much I liked the Tweaker. Never been on my radar after the slew of reviews I saw about how unreliable they were. Not going to replace my OR15, but might be a nice compliment.
trahnettilhcs it had to do with their transformers. I don’t remember the specifics but the tweaker line used transformers from a third party...said party switched some of the internals of their transformers which caused higher failure rates (egnater didn’t know this). The new transformers say ELITE on them, that’s how you know you’re getting one of the reliable ones. It’s been a while since I did the research so I don’t remember the specifics. I own the tweaker, fun amp
Just an incredible vid brother. Switching was awesomely done. Getting a sense of the different amp flavors quick and to the point was, Perfect! They all have their place. And, Nice collection! To the YT crowd, Waste more time on those sick riffs than what type of amp to buy, really though. Amps/Gear will come and go, Skill will last forever! Just my 2 Cents... This video is just Awesome man! Thanks!
Dark Terror and TH 30 great cleans! I am also a big fan of orange's minimalistic approach. Really considering buying one, but since I need two channels I'm looking at the dual terror or rocker 15 terror. Egnater Tweaker also good.
My favorite in all sound clips was the th30... If if you have the money. But best bang for the buck is also my runner up, the tweeker. Versatility, tone, and price! It's the clear winner to me!
Egnater Tweaker all day! I bought the Egnater Tweaker 15W Head back when they first came out in 2010. & over the last 9 years, the Egnater Tweaker has proven to be the most versatile, the most reliable, & the best sounding piece of gear I own. It has never let me down. Not once. In fact, I am still impressed every time I plug into my Egnater Tweaker. The tone options are nearly infinite. It has more than enough volume. It has more headroom than most 15W tube amps. It handles pedals very well. It's lightweight. It looks awesome. It's well constructed. & it's incredibly affordable. I highly recommend the Egnater Tweaker 15W Head to anyone looking for an affordable amp that will give you great tone & volume. The Egnater Tweaker is an incredibly solid amp that pulls well above it's weight & class. I play my Egnater Tweaker through multiple cabs. A 1x12, a 2x10, & a 1x10. Alone or a combination of 2 of those cabs, depending on where I am playing. FYI - I have worked in a small guitar shop for the last 4 years, & tried many many amps. I have also been a gigging musician for the last 14 years.
Hey man would I get you opinion on tweaker. I have a fender and Marshall and got tweaker and find it hard to bond with but it has 6l6 tubes in it, could this change the tone a fair bit. I don't have any 6v6 to put in it at present. What ones are good if they would help the tone
Great demos man! I was shocked by how good the tiny terror and egnater sounded to me, didn’t expect that. I think the only all around loser is the Fender.
