@carlitobrigante330 Год назад

I just purchased a (used) 1978 silverface Vibro Champ with a Jensen 8" alnico speaker, and am absolutely loving it. Has more than enough volume at only 5 watts, ample clean headroom, and surprising low-end response.

@joshscott3271 Год назад

Your right on Lee, Sasha plays lovely, very tasteful choice of notes and flows in his blessing, certainly a gift you both have there Mr Sasha and Mr Anderton. 👌🙏🌠🚀

@carlhendrix Год назад

I used to take a few lessons from Sasha some 10+ odd years ago. As he mentioned, he wasn't cut out to be a teacher. It's so nice to see that he still enjoys playing so much.

@drv4859 Год назад

I just bought a Fender Champ and love it. 5 watts is perfect for practice.

@josephrogers9796 18 дней назад

I built an 5 watt vacuum amp based on The Guitar Amp Handbook written by Dave Hunter from the UK. I built it over 10 years ago and still working. I simply love it

@lotusmark2 Год назад

Loving the guest, really fits the dynamic. And that Benson sounds so BB at the Regal

@nickfit3 Год назад

I have the Vox Mini Superbeetle, but I swapped out the speaker for a 10 inch Cream back. Totally impressive with so much better harmonic content. HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!

@NinjaMatt2201 Год назад

I actually have an Orange Micro Terror that I put into a full sized speaker cabinet. Sounds amazing with a "real" speaker. Works as a practice setup, but you could totally record with that.

@NinjaMatt2201 Год назад

And it takes pedals really well. A lot of practice amps have a problem with that.

@ericwilliamson9869 Год назад

Sasha is the best. So happy you had him on. Great video!❤

@ericwilliamson9869 Год назад

Also, for the TMDR, you can load in the firmware to make it sound like the cream back and the Jensen speaker is garbage. Basically if you get the neo cream back from the blonde one, you can make it too notch or you can just get the blonde and be set already. I like the black ones and swapped the speaker and the firmware.

@BastognesBulge Год назад

That was a killer intro jam, guys! Really cool

@LewWelchThePoet Год назад

🤘👍🏿 We don’t see much about the British Cornell Amps across RU-vid but they are great and one that I have (Romany 10) also has an EQ cut like the Silktone. As Sasha mentioned with the Silktone, really changes the character of the amp and it feels like you have two amps as a result.

@rob28781 Год назад

Love the Fender Tone Master amps! I've got the Twin Reverb Blonde with Celestion NEO Creamback speakers. They're not cheap, but as a bedroom player I never thought I'd have a Twin Reverb. Surprisingly at it's lowest 1watt setting it can still get pretty loud. It's nice to mix it up when I don't feel like playing my Laney Cub-Supertop

@rossbowen6418 Год назад

Nice video again. I'm a home guitarist and have small wattage valve amps but I have recently found a not very well known 70's transistor amp called a , Maine c50. It's got 2x 8" celestion speakers and sounds great. So much so that I only use this one now. I don't know if you have ever heard of them, maybe worth looking up.

@ZackSeifMusic Год назад

Low Wattage amps are great for recording as they produce power amp saturation earlier at “lower volumes”. For some genres of music they are great for what they are. They can get LOUD. Wattage = Headroom.

@florisvanlingen Год назад

When you use a loadbox for recording, a lower wattage amp does not really have advantages though. That said I use two 20w heads and they got enough headroom for playing at home.

@bassyey Год назад

I don't why someone would label Blues Junior as not too loud. At 15W, crank it at max, I doubt the neighbors won't get the police involved. These people think everyone has a soundproof studio lol. But yeah, maybe they're suffering hearing loss now, I guess 15W is not too loud then.

@tarkett8529 Год назад

@@bassyey it’s a “quiet” gigging amp same with an ac15, both will still shake the windows in your house but at a larger venue have just about enough clean headroom to be usable.

@otisdriftwood3829 Год назад

Great video, I've been looking into low watt amps for years, but always had a bit of anxiety over it. Fear that I would purchase one, regret it, and then have issues recovering the purchase price in a resale scenario. This demo has eased a lot of my worries , thank you.

@andrewharper1887 Год назад

I suggest getting something second hand, then selling it if you don’t like, or if you do like but prefer new.

@waynebridger4998 Год назад

In my view, yes. I use a vox ac10c1 a home and at church. I used to use 100w Marshall tsl 2x12, an ac30 and fender hot rod deluxe, great amps, but I learnt that valve amps needed to be turned up. So, I went lower wattage

@igordemoraeslenzi Год назад

A great addition for this shootout would be the fender vibro champ reverb! 5W, but no attenuation, but much more affordable than mostly of the amps. It would be fun to see the vibro side by side with the milkman.

@michael_caz_nyc Год назад

I love my 65 Blackface Fender Princeton Reverb ( nothing sound like it ). Starting to get great sounds on my ( new Black ) Yamaha THR30II = low wattage amps Sound and work great for me. Those back-braking days ( lugging refrigerators ) are Over !!!

@joshbabbitt9243 Год назад

Absolutely love Sasha. His personality, like Buddy's, Pete's, is just A++. He kills it on everything from insta, to RU-vid, and especially his playing. His chops are top class and just so enjoyable to listen to. Great to see he made it on here!

@predragtadic Год назад

Bravo, Sasha!!!

@thomashalley7258 Год назад

One of the big changes I haven't heard part way through is the change of using the sound you brought vs the house providing the sound for not needing the loudest thing to gig with. Like you can have a 5w with a mic in front of it and it would be perfect.

@JeffStarr Год назад

I know Anderdons doesn't carry Dr. Z amps, but the Z-Plus would be great in this low wattage comparison. It's perfection. It's a Class-A 15 watt amp 1x12 combo with spring reverb that gets over 100db. It's definitely as loud as a cranked Fender Deluxe, but it's has almost zero noise/hiss and you have a lot more control over the eq thanks to a 3 band control and the gain is a lot more usable due to the volume and master controls. It's also switchable down to 7 watts. If you run it at 7 watts and switch out the 3 band EQ (presence cut is still in the circuit) it basically creates a 12" tweed champ, so you get all the touch sensitivity and filthy gain but with a bigger fuller sound. The Z-Plus only has a handful of controls but I continue to find all sorts of tones in the amp. It really does it all, from super beautiful cleans to wicked dirty overdrives.

@jesuschristpose896 Год назад

I always felt that the low watt tube amps allow you to really get the most out of the tubes without blowing your windows out are causing the neighbors from calling the cops on you.

@TheMoonUnitExperienc Год назад

I sometimes struggle to see the need for an amateur gigging guitarist to have a high wattage amp these days. I have a Fender Bassman that is very loud and rarely use it for gigs as I can never put the volume to a level where it sounds like it should. I used to play in a covers band and used a Vox AC10 that was plenty loud enough without even a mic most of the time.

@LEUNN_ Год назад

the shirt and playing gave me those good old guitar paradiso vibes

@jacobbockover1628 Год назад

I have a half watt amp its great for my apartment it you have 3 tone options a blackface style tone stack or you can bypass that and use just a treble boost thingy or just a sorta mid boost/cut thing. It sorta lacks low lows but thats part of why i can use it without bugging people

Unless that Tonemaster has had an update applied, the fizz that sasha is referring to is the virtual bright cap. Sounds much better when you do the update to remove it. The blonde is the way forward (mine is black but have changed to blonde specs).

@stoneysdead689 Год назад

:33 seconds in- listen to that compound bend- that sounded so good, perfect placement. I was seriously considering a low wattage tube amp at one point- simply because they are cheaper- the Supra Delta line or the Kustom Defender 5-watt head are both pretty reasonable. The Supra though, even though considered a budget option- costed more than the used 60-watt Blackstar I ended up with and had nothing but a tone and a volume pot- that's it. Man, I feel so weird about owning this Blackstar- I bought it from a pawn shop for just 300 bucks- and it was almost brand new. Only had been used for 3 moths they said- by a guy playing in his bedroom. So, I bought it and then got curious about why someone would sell a 700$ amp for so little that the buyer can flip it for just 300 bucks and still make a profit. So I looked up the guy who sold it- I wish I hadn't of, now I feel like dirt. The poor guy didn't sell it- he pawned it to pay his electric bill and then lost it because his wife lost her job, they couldn't pay the pawn ticket. After wrestling with it for over a week I just called him this morning and told him what I paid and that if he can pay me that amount- he can have it back. I told him I would give him 2 months- after that the deal is off. I love this amp man but- I can't stand feeling like this. But hey, I think I've been more than fair so if he doesn't come up with the money- and he is trying- I will put it out of my mind and forget it. I think he's going to get it through- he was so happy when I made the offer he cried.

@str8shooter36 Год назад

The tone master sounds good but I'm of the opinion of the milkman with just a little bit more gain . I had a friend who played a 25 watt milkman and a clean boost and he had the best tone when we would jam. He would play a Fender tele and a Gibson 335 and we played everything from Buddy Holly to 70's Aerosmith, Bad Co, SRV, and lots of alternative style tunes. He was able to achieve great tone with those 2 guitars and 1amp and he used a tuner pedal, mid boost, clean boost, and another pedal that was like 2 pedals in 1. Great memories of great times.

@leftyo9589 Год назад

the Benson is by far the best sounding amp for me. in the same breath, there's no way i could ever justify the expense.

@chrisjs6123 Год назад

@Thomas Datrein Great amp in a mix- but the boosted high is a Benson thing. I have the Monarch which is a 15w one and it's painfully precise and responsive. Wonderful in the hands of a skilled player but not very friendly in my hands. I end up using a Princeton clone most of the time which is far easier to play through.

Only thing that might make a difference is the new model has power scaling

@TheGuitarman1968 Год назад

I stiil have a Marshall MG-15 MS II amp (The "Mini-Stack"), that I use for practicing at home, after all of these years. I also have a Zoom G3Xn multi-effects processor plugged into this amp. This combination works great together, and it's all I really need for playing at home, or even at smaller venues. The Marshall MG-15 can get really LOUD for a 15 watt "practice" amp, and with the Zoom G3Xn I can customize the sound to any tone that I want. I much prefer a "practice" setup like this over something like the very Gimmicky and overrated Spark Positive Grid amp, which to me sounds like an old AM transistor radio from the 70's. Now, with all of that being said, if I want to make my (and your) ears "bleed," I also have a Marshall JCM800 head, and a Marshall 4×12 cabinet to blow the roof off with. I mostly use my effects pedal board with this amp. Both amp/effect setups have their place, and can be really fun in their own respects. It all just depends on my mood, and which guitar I have plugged into the amp at the time. Whatever keeps us playing is all that really matters anyway, right? 🎸 🎸

@ryano.5149 Год назад

Those original MGs were perfectly fine, gig-able solid-state amps. As far as I'm aware, aside from the effects, they were analog transistor based amps. They "do the thing" just fine.

@mikeaustin4138 Год назад

My first amp was a ''70 Silverface Twin that I replaced the blown CTS/Jensen speakers with JBL D-120s. It was a horrible choice for me. On "3" it would compete with a Marshall full stack and it was impossible to get "my tone" with it. I've never understood the logic of buying a 100-watt amp so you can play it on "3" and then buy a raft of pedals to try and get it to sound good. IMO, the sweet spot for an amp is when the volume is at 6-7. There's plenty of electrons flowing across the vacuum tubes without it going overboard, so there's plenty of bass, sustain, etc. A 20-watt amp is plenty loud, unless you're playing in auditoriums or arenas.

@MAP448 Год назад

Low wattage amplifiers have smaller output transformers, smaller output transformers are mostly easier to saturate. Which makes them much nicer to play because you can still get a decent amount of volume out of a 15 watt amplifier plus your able to saturate the output transformers at a lower volume But still get that spongy type feeling under the fingers which we guitar players love so much. It's also why we like overdrive pedals so much because we get that same spongy feel under the fingers at a lower volume.

@forester057 7 месяцев назад

You can Replace the transformer in smaller amps if you want better headroom - most people get dirt from pedals anyway. Sounds better than amp falling apart dirt to most people. Tighter clipping. Both have their place of course and both sound great (we aren’t SRV though).

when l play now at the open mic blues jam by me in Dallas Tx l always enjoy being the guy that will haul a 100 watt jmp marshall head and 4x12 1960b and play lower volume and they hate me b/c l dont require a boosted middle to sit in the mix. l have a huge tone but l simply leave my master on 3-4 and pre amp around 7 and dont upset stage volume. l add a deja-vibe and a wah at all times. To make this even worse l sometimes when lve had my wheaties will lug my Fender Super Twin Reverb combo, super fuzz and angry charlie and will out 'headroom' everyone w/ 180 watts rms with the master high and pre volume low for stage volume. Either way tone-wise little low wattage amps get exposed. lf they cant overdrive their mids into 'unfriendly' levels theyre sunk and lm talking about drZ's, PRS's, Fenders etc.

What a great player 😍🎸 Ps I like little amps. 10 watts is all I ever use on stage. Sometimes with a microphone in front and sometimes not

For those Clapton fans - I think his Tone on The 1992 Rush Movie Soundtrack ( 4 Tracks ) new recruit, tracks & lines, kristen & jim, preludin fugue - His tone & playing is insane.

One of those intros that you have to listen to twice and then immediately pick up your guitar. Pure filthy soul. Loved it.

One thing I’ll say about Sasha, he makes me want to pick up the guitar whenever I hear him play.

Back in the eighties guitarists would change out the speakers or put in a set of groove tubes to sweeten up the sounds of their amplifiers.

Anyone know what chorus Lee was using during the intro?

If i crank a 5 watt amp in my apartment, neighbours from more than half a mile away will hear it and complain. Might be low wattage but not low volume. But does Andertons sell Milkman Amps, i can't see any on the website.
