"And it's really easy to... program.... It's MIDI.. I'm old-school. I have no idea about MIDI..... " This is why I like to watch your videos. You are really authentic and of course a great guitar player. Thanks for your input.
I'm old school too. I'm hooked on watching Euge's reviews because he is such a great player and very informative even if I'm not really interested in the equipment. But this is cool especially, as Euge said, for the studio.
Euge is the man! Dude from 2:00 on into that solo was amazing. Awesome playing brother! I bought a 5150 iconic because of one of your other videos and it just came in lmao
Freakin awesome man! I must confess I already knew everything in advance, since I'm heading to have a 4x4 switcher from either KHE, Ampete or De Lisle. But let's see if Euge has to tell something about his KHE... Indeed he has. Great video like usual and somewhat funny as well 😅👍👍👍
Thank you soooo much for making this video. I was looking for a way to switch between tube amps and cabs in my studio, and this is perfect! Can even sync midi timecode out to it to switch on the fly when reamping from the DAW, or go pedal route.. amazing. Markus at KHE was awesome to work with, ended up getting the 8/4 amp cab switcher model!
I agree, this looks like a fantastic product, im all in for the 4+4+4 unit..(4 amps, 4 cabs, 4 effect loops) kind of a middle of the road application...and I really like the fact you can use one power attenuator across all amps.
Gotta love it, Brohiem. Man, that late 80's JCM is really it's own thing and kinda unfair - referring to the anomolies with this amp you covered several videos ago. It's like a "one off" lol. The 5150 is also very unique and I'm sure you love having it around for just what it does. Another crayon in the box for sure! \m/ \m/
Hey Euge! Great video! Killer intro song. That amp switcher unit looks great. You did a very good job of demonstrating it. With all those big tube amp heads fired-up at the same time, i'll bet they double as a room heater! \m/
@@EugeValovirta230V Yup, that's why amp techs will re-touch the solder joints in those things, because all that heat over time can cause loose solder joints.
Awesome video as always. I could use something like this for my 4 amps, but I'm just a basement dweller now so I'll keep plugging and unplugging everything. Definitely a very useful piece of gear for recording or the touring pro. 🤘🤘
As always killer playing 🤘🏻That clean part you hit at 3:55 reminded me of Dissection for some reason. Can I move to Finland and become your roady?? I could learn so much. Lol.
Hello Euge.....I have suhr reactive load, oxbox, kemper, tonex, quad cortex with the amp switcher. I love your channel. Amazing player and tone master!!!. How do you connect your profilers (if you do) to the amp switcher ? 6 Amp heads as well. Thanks in advance!! Big fan, Tim.
Glad to hear thanks! I don’t have any profilers but if I”d have probably just like the amps. I mean there’s not much options 😁. Out from the switcher into the amp and out from the amp back to the switcher. And the same with the second amp, third etc.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thank you. I figured it out. I go from switcher to amp input. Out of the profilers to preamp stereo. All six heads the way you said. All is working great!! Thanks again!
Euge, I’d like to hear your 800 and the ZW compared to the Kerry King 800! I think it would be a nice comparison. For non 800s, I’d like to hear you riff through the Slash AFD head! Killer stuff as always!
Awesome video like evrytime .. tonewise, I am trying to get close to you with my jcm 900(4100 Dual reverb that i recent purchased) and bugera power soak would love to see you get those big b@ll tones aswell on one of those :D.. trying to hear for sweetspots with line 6 helix as pedaltrain ! Keep up the greath inspirational video's , cheers !
I really like this amp switcher and how you showed us the cable routing and setup, of course along w great riffing! Do you recommend certain speaker cables? 10ft at most?
Thanks! Glad to hear that! Any high quality professional cable will do but I’ve been using Cordial cables with Neutrik jacks a lot 👌. 1.5 - 3 metres (whatever that’s in feets 😎).

@@EugeValovirta230V I didn't know Peavey made switching systems or boards. I'm definitely new to the whole switching thing. I will check out the link man. Thank you so much. 🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cool. I've been looking at amp switchers and the top two companies were KHE and Kahayan. Only thing that makes KHE less attractive for me is that they're made outside EU so taxes and customs are added. Also 8 channels wouldn't be enough in the long run so maybe I'll save my money for now and just switch them manually like a neanderthal =)
Fantastic Song 👍 🙂 and playing! Today my Boss sd 1 arrived, It's actually a bit more aggressive than the ts9/808, I like that! But another question, I would like to buy a new camera for my small amateurish hobby youtube channel. Which one do you use? Can you recommend a good one with flip screen and good video quality? Audio will be miked down anyway, it's all about good picture :)
Thanks! Yeah that’s why I like SD-1 more than TSs ’cos it’s more aggressive 💪. I use Canon M50 and I like it a lot. Here’s a video about how I do the videos and the gear I use if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/_2N-GEjzJVk/w-d-xo.html
Been wanting an 800 since I discovered your channel... I love your videos! Did you ever try out a Diezel VH4? If yes, what were your thoughts of it and could there ever be a demo of this amp on your channel?
Is it possible to run two amps simultaneously? Like say you want to experiment with stereo rigs, could you get the 1984 Bad Boy and the 5150 to run at the same time? Or is it solely one amp at a time?
Hello Euge, I have one unrelated question please, how important would you say is your ISP Decimator in your signal chain when you make your guitar recordings? Is it "just" making the process more comfortable dealing with no noise but otherwise the noise in the "silent" parts would be cut out when mixing anyways or does it make the sound itself better too by killing some unwanted stuff out of it? Boiling it down to, would you recommend getting one of those noise killer pedals for doing good recordings? (I am using a very similar signal chain as you, SD1->old 2203->Suhr RL IR-> Bogrens IR´s ;) ) Your opinion would be very appreciated, thanks! :)
Hi, It’s just to get rid of the small his that the SD-1 (or any od) produces and have zero impact on the sound itself. I use it live, in the studio and well basically always. I also have a BOSS NS-2 (on my small board) and Fortin Zuul (on my main live board) and they do the job also really well. Live those are really good since the electricity on some venues is sometimes really noisy and those cut out pretty much that hum too. And it’s handy also that there’s no need to edit guitars when recording & mixing; just rawk n roll from beginning to end and that’s it 👌😎.
you're using only ONE speaker cabinet and switching between 8 amps and you can also combine multiple amp heads with only using ONE speaker cabinet or external reactive load box?
@@speedforhire that sucks. Does anyone make an amp switcher to use multiple amp heads simultaneously using one speaker cab or one reactive load box? Because If I want to blend a fender amp head with a marshall amp head using one reactive load box.
@@EugeValovirta230V I did watch the whole thing,but I couldn’t hear part of it....I missed the part about the part about all the amps being loaded I guess.....I understood it switches all the amps to one load or speaker cab,just wasn’t sure if all the amps were always under a load even if they weren’t being used..
Yes they’re under the load I’m using 😎. There’s more technical info on KHE’s website how that works ’cos I’m just a player and didn’t want to go too technical on the video since I’m not an expert on that 😊. I just know that it works like a charm 👌.
I haven’t used amps live since 2017. I did a video where I compare my old & new rig if you’re interested 😎: th-cam.com/video/B0A6s9M-fPQ/w-d-xo.html But when I did I had a backup always but that’s so easy to just swap a few cables that there was no need for any additional equipment since the second amp was just a backup if something happens 😊.

From KHE’s speaker out to Suhr’s speaker in.

Speaker out. Guitar goes to amp’s input. The speaker out from the amp goes to cabinet or reactive load etc.
