This the sound I hear in my head. Amazing playing and tone.
Thanks a lot!!
Great demo dude. In the top demos forsure of this amp. Clear, very well played.
That is just aswsome! Lovely,, sensitive and totally cool!
Vary Cool sounding amp. I like it. Really musicale.
Beautiful
You remember where you had the gain knob on the back set at for this demo?
mscarney302 the gain trim pot you mean? I don’t think I ever moved it much. It was just a little last half way (around 1 o’clock let’s say).
excellent
theprisonier thank you!
Great playing! I built the same amp a while back but it’s still just an exposed chassis. Did you build the housing for this? Or can you reference where you might have gotten it from? I like the look of it!
I had bought the amp like that. I have no idea who made it unfortunately. Sorry!
Sounds great! Would live to know your settings!
mojolarry you can see them right there. Drive on. Mid boost off.
@@argbluesman, thank you. Love the tone! What about the OD trim setting?
rva11 must have been at 1 or 2 o’clock
@@argbluesman Thank you! I just got mine and I am having a ball. Now if only I could play like you! Much appreciated brother!
Awesome video! Really close to pulling the trigger😎Curious if you’ve compared to the Fender Deluxe Reverb and/or Fuchs Blackjack 21?
Yes! I’ve owned all of them! The blackjack was before my TH-cam presence however. All three very nice but if I have to choose one it’s the OTS mini. It is an overall nicer amp. The overdrive is smoother and the cleans are a bit more saggy although it’s a solid state rectifier. The blackface is too punchy to my taste.
Killer tone,Killer blues.You got something to say.Can I the same sound with the stock version?
mark mc myn what do you mean stock version?
@@argbluesman Was there any modifications to this amp. I think the 80's version option was the one to get. There was something mentioned about tenn wiring and blues box version,maybe that was your ots 50 watt video.
mark mc myn oh yes. You’re right. That was the “blues box” version. I’m not sure what the difference was really. You can achieve the tone with the stock version 100% sure.
@@argbluesman Thanks. BLUES POWER!
This is definitely one of the sweetest amps I've heard, and a great deal of that sweetness undoubtedly lies in your fingers and technique. Very, very tasty playing indeed. Did you get a chance to do any tube rolling at all? And if you did play around with the power tubes, was it easy enough to rebias? Again, wonderful, wonderful playing!
Thanks man! I put tung sol tubes in it and the biasing was pretty easy. I am pretty handy with amps and circuits so it was ok for me, removing the chassis and doing it.
@@argbluesman Thanks for the quick response! I thought Nik had put in external test points - but you have to pull the chassis out to get to the bias pot, right? I have a sweet pair of Brimars I might try (assuming I get this amp), and a Mullard ECC83 that is just dying to be put into a great amp.
SriniP hmmm my mini didn’t have test points. Maybe he does put test points now. At least he does in the bigger OTS
@@argbluesman I'm just going by the info on this page: guitarampsusa.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=100
Under Feature Overview, it says External Bias Adjust. Just makes it a bit easier..:) This amp sounds perfect as a recording amp. I'll never take it out, and with a reactive load, I could get the power tubes cooking too..:)
SriniP absolutely. If you have an OX or something similar, it’s amazing for recording.
Very nice - both the amp and the playing! Is this the std OTS voicing or the optional 80's voicing?
Roger Taylor it was wired by tenn amps and it’s their blues box version so I guess it’s kinda like the 80s voicing.
Fmd! V. nice!
Little different sounding than others Ive heard from Nik. Maybe its not a Nik build. Is this a kit built by someone other than Nik? I'd bet a hundred bucks it is
I have no idea who built it.
Fantastic. What speakers are you using here?
Aaron Nickell it’s un the video man. All of the info. EVM12L.
Thank you! On my phone and didn't see the scrolling text! @@argbluesman
Geat tone! What cabinet did u use?
It’s in the video a few seconds after it starts. I believe it was a 1x12 with an EVM12L
sweet tone, what's the backing track mate?
Darren Lines sorry man I don’t know exactly. It was a long time ago.
@@argbluesman sweet mate appreciate it mate and super tone from that amp!
Was this amp with the ‘80’s voiced option? Sounds fantastic...
It was the blues box. Wired by tenn amps. No idea what the difference In the circuit was.
Sounds great. What did you upgrade to?
Well my main amp is a two rock classic reverb signature. But I’ve also owned the bigger OTS. Those are also amazing!
@@argbluesman What made you switch to the TR CRS? What do you like more about it?
@@HeyJettRink the classic reverb signature has a different structure and it has a bit more openness. Plus the three switchable gain structures. And it’s a single channel amp. That’s all I need really.
would you say this is very close to the ots 50 watt. I am trying to figure out if i want the ots HRM Bluesmaster or ots 50 watt or just get this lunch box? what would you say?
To me they are different. The mini is a 6v6 amp and the overdrive is different. It’s not quite the same from the big brothers, you can hear in this video how it is different. If you want traditional dumble tones, I’d go for the big guys.
@@argbluesman have you played with the hrm blues master version. Many say that's very close to a black face fender!?
@@clarkianturner all the OTS models are based on blackface like of clean tones. I’ve never played the hrm specifically but I owned several clones of dumble overdrive special and all cleans are big and bold, based on blackface circuits.
Do you still love the amp? Really thinking about getting the kit
Jesse Miller I don’t have it anymore but I do love it! I would buy it again with eyes closed. Awesome amp.
Fede S. Kajganić what speaker did you play through?
Jesse Miller EVM12L.
Why the kit, when the whole amp head, with tubes, etc was $823 delivered to my door. (12-16 weeks)
I just ordered one 15 minutes ago, as this is the one tone amp I didn’t have and for the price…WOW!
Best! ✌🏼
