Great video! ThanX, man!

The cabinet sucks

After comparing a number of other combo's and stacks, I bought the SVT. Initially it was not that appealing in isolation, After getting it home I really started to understand what a beast the VR is.

great comparison, and def try other cabs,. my Micro SVT sounds 10x better when paired with stock cab and my 1X12 Genzler. that it does with just the stock cabs. ( i do have 2)

Thank for presentation. But I wont to know how to reset factory preset

The comments I read on the Micro SVT DI are what had kept me on the fence about getting one. These audio samples kinda put that to rest and I think I'm gonna pick one up

What is the regular Blues Jr have the type A?

I use the Micro VR with a 15. I’m considering getting an overdrive pedal used primarily as a boost to distort this amp but the sound I get already is amazing. It’s not the loudest thing in the world but it seems to be able to work in a band since it pushes air from a wider surface area with the 15.

ミルコクロコップ！！

These A/B tests are great but there’s no A/B test in a live music setting. Pick one and go 💯

hai kids, always spirited...

PF

How does the new venture rate against these two ?

Aucune différence

Thank you for this video. Same issue with playing in an appartment and want to play a real acoustic kit. Regards from Sweden 🎼🥁🎼🥁🎼

Nailed it! But the question is, would you rather play guitar with octave down like the White Stripes or bass with octave up like Royal Blood?

When you have the Tweed going into the BJ cabinet (I assume that's what the arrow means?), it sounds SUPER dark. When you have the BJ going into the Tweed cabinet it sounds SUPER bright/thing. I can't imagine there is this much difference just swapping the amplifier (or speakers, depending on how you look at it). The difference is extreme. Were the settings you showed on camera the actual settings they were set to for this? I'm just confused how this could make such a massive day and night difference. I've listened to a lot of speaker and amp shootouts and usually the difference between any two is not so extreme.

Honestly, I like the Blues Junior a bit better. Also, why does your camera pan to settings that obviously aren't correct (ie. tons of reverb present, but reverb knob at zero)?

Weren't they forced to change the name and circuit because it was a part by part knockoff?

I know sound can be subjective but the Laney in my opinion sounds the best. I think it has the cleaner sound. As for as brightness, that can be as simple as resetting the EQ. I'm sure you've messed with that though at some point

Nice Dano! I have the same one.

I find many contradictions. You say you don't like the feel of e cymbals, but you opt for the worst triggers. The false hits, the double hits, the almost impossible possibility of playing ghost notes. That's annoying. Another aspect is that low volume cymbals, even if they are Zildjan, sound horrible. That's also very annoying. You say you want to get as close as possible to an acoustic kit, but you buy the most basic module! It was worth every penny if you bought the Edrum-in midi interface. Anyway... we learn from our mistakes.

I use the PF-800. It does make a difference Live. Especially if u play Death Metal. Louder is better in certain types of Music. 🥷 200 doesn't hit the same as 350 no matter what ya mouth says and 350 doesn't hit like a 500 and a 500 doesn't hit live like a 800 on Bass. I know cause I've used all 3 many Times. The 800 gets much louder. 🤟

My friend, to get the full beauty of the Blues Jr, you have to crank the master volume all the way to 11 or 12, then preamp volume between 4-8 for taste. Yes, it's LOUD, so put your attenuator on it. This is how you will get those beautiful, full, warm, round tones you never knew were there.

"it's not smokeable" :(

great review! thank you!

I did the same thing as well, converted to a electric set

I just got the laney irt 212 with 12"80w HH speakers and I love it. I opened the back and it sounds great, but I have a Cele Greenback 25w and I want to throw it in there . All 3 speakers are 16ohms but what about the wattage ?

Sure seems to move nice mids forward

This was a great video! I’ve seen people suggest breaking in speakers by just letting the amp feedback. Do you know how that method would compare to your method?

First half of vid sounds better to my ears. Nice mids

Good video 👍🏼

This is a great video! I haven’t seen many people including the tips to crank the bass and mids or providing side-by-side comparisons of the speakers before and after break in. The spectral analyzer was also a nice touch. Well done! I’d like to talk to you about sending some product for use in your reviews. If you’re open to it, what’s the best way to get in touch?

so, if i want to bypass simplifier and use a real tube amp, I'll just use one instrument cable and connect the L output to my real tube amp input after enabling the THRU knob . And if i want to use it as a drive pedal or a preamp i will use the R output and enable the SUM mono knob. Right? Also what happens if i just connect either of L/R output to amp input without enabling any knob. No sound?

I liked the single laney best as a solo guitar sound. The next question is which would sound better in a mix, its a rabbit hole :)

I would love to see a comparison between the SVT Micro VR and the RB210.

wayy outta tune

Such a great pedal. Why it was discontinued boggles my mind. They have a newer but the pedal is a lot bigger. The nova was perfect.

Sound samples at 6:51

Thank you so much, this is awesome.

Longview riff is class.

Truly Awesome!!!

I always figured the breaking in idea was more you getting used to the way the speakers sound. There is a big change when switching from different kinds of speakers, or in my case when mixing, switching headphones or switching to speakers. If you practiced or mixed on the new speakers you'd get more comfortable with them and feel like they've been "Broken in" when you're just used to that sound. Seems like just another excuse for guitarists to explain why their recordings sound bad. When a little EQ could make up the difference is it really that big of a deal? Maybe focus on your performance and mic position before you worry about the subtle things.

I just run full-range music through mine but I down always need to. Some speakers sound great when new.

What say you about people who use solvents on the rubber surrounds to help with break in?

Bass frequencies move more slowly. You're referring to excursion, the distance the cone moves.

I've noticed in humid environments speakers don't sound their best at first, but after about an hour the heat from the tubes dries out the speakers in my old tube combos, then the speakers/amp sound like they should. There is likely some other reasons for the better sound, but the speaker being dried-out is important in my experience as a home noodle. What you say about bass frequencies is important too, get that surround moving to loosen it up. I'll hit an E chord (or whatever, big chords) with the volume off, and gradually turn up the volume to get the speaker moving. I do that with bar chords up and down the neck, along with cowboy chords in the first few frets. I've read dozens of techniques other people use. The first few days seem to loosen them up, then after maybe 100 hours they are likely even looser, many theories. I just go by my ears, and from that know humid air dampens speaker cones to the point I can hear the difference, and that after being gently heated by the tubes the cones work their best, vibrations flowing through them without water damping the fibers. Interesting subject, speakers are a bit of an obsession, and have accumulated many over the years, some haven't even been used yet. I find the old speakers with original cones sound best, I paid over $500 for a Celestion Vox silver bell with the legendary "pulsonic" cone. I see them as instruments themselves, since they are what transmit the vibrations, so paying $200-500 isn't outrageous to my mind. Cheers!

Its not break in its a acumulation of dust an moisture making the speaker heavier which gives it more low end and less high end

Waiting Room 👌

I was wondering if the alesis nitro module worked with ddrum red shot triggers. You answered that for me so thanks.
