![[DRIP] ‘BILLIONAIRE’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/m0eXQD0gIeE/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm not sure how i missed this upon release. Thomas seems like a true genius, i can't wait to get some of his products, but most excitedly the Amp X.
I have the Iridium edition and it absolutely slays for metal and even classic rock.
@@CS-ru4xd yes I use it in band practice. Loud metal with heavy hitting drums and it cuts through like a knife. Usually when guitar doesn't cut through it means turn up the mids. There is also a seperate eq on side of the amp for more color.
@@CS-ru4xd I think Phil didn't adjust it right because this sucker is amazing live..
For any of you low price guys like me... Johnson Marquis JM60 is the same format, and though old has the same setup ... tube preamp section with the amp types fx modulation and reverb and a 12" 80W (I think) speaker AND although you'll need a good back to move it around, when mic'd at a gig.. you've got the world at your fingertips... add a midi pedal... the jm8 or jm12 and you can turn on and off the fx/mod/rev and switch channels ... can be had on Craigslist regularly for $300 or less if patient.... Thanks Phillip for this video... and ALL of your wonderful videos ... super helpful always and as soon as I have a hit recording/video/score lol I'd totally rather run something like this straight into the board with my church rig or at any travel situation/applicables. Love ya'lls
I own this amp. My Marshall 410h doesn’t get used anymore. It’s that good !
Cheers for the Beercaster!! I’ve been eyeing the BluGuitar Amp 1 since I saw Jennifer Batten talking about her rig.
i am seriously considering this as an alternative to Dragging and amp every where i go
I'm happy with mine - only really use the clean channel with a Buffalo Evolution pedal
Dude, believe me when i say that thing sounds so good it's not even an alternative, it's one of the best things you can get under the 800-1000 euros budget line, period . It's a legit amp and super versatile
Bassist chiming in. All I use here lately is my Sansamp Geddy Lee 2112. She gets the job done!
They're amazing dude I used one in a shop as our demo amp for years, rock solid.
I bought it two months ago, It´s great, It does everything.
I went from been introduced to this amazing bit of kit in a live setting (even though I didn’t know what I was listening to at the time) to it been my main gigging amp. I find it great. Very easy to get a nice tone
I had the orginal amp 1. it was nice but the mercury edtion is so improved version to me,the channels blend together better. All around its a fantastic unit.
I saw him demo this as well and it is a sweet sounding rig to me. It spoke directly to me... then the wife did. I’ll look for more reviews and demos from the folks that got one. Thanks for the vid!
I heard this live last night for the first time and it was killer. Very impressed 👍
Phil, did you get to check out his BluGuitar Amp X ? it looks quite the killer kit when it's released.
Legend says Philip upvotes you post within the first hour. Great review, love that box, love T Blug!
This has caught my eye. It’s value as a back up alone seems to make it worth going for. Very cool!
I got a bunch of tube amps, but with my band; this is my go to amp and its goooooood!!
wondering if the opinion stands after 3 years. I am thinking on getting an amp and this one seems to be really good and tube-like. I am looking for options.
Some tube marshall is of course also considered, but I would not be afraid to try something new. Cheers!
Dude! Best demo/explanation of this yet. I'm definitely thinking of pulling the trigger the metal version.
The thing that still gets me about this amp is that you’d still need to drag effects pedals and a cab to
a gig...doesn’t save you much except an amp head in terms of gear needed...🤔
not quite......I use the AMP1 on a pedalboard with a Line6 HX effects as my entire "stomp box" arsenal with the speaker out injected into a Torpedo CabM cabinet simulator...it ends up being very portable and lightweight, and you can DI out of the Torpedo and use monitors instead of dragging a cab...nevertheless, I DO have a 100W single 112 cab that I like to use...but it is also very lightweight and that is the main focus...after 40+ years of gigging with everything under the sun...this is one of the best all purpose rigs I have ever used.
Hope this product outlasts the hype associated with newer technology in guitar world. Sometimes sadly enough cutting edge technology doesn't survive but gets appreciated 10 years later, hopefully that won't be the case here. Thomas is gentleman, great guitarist and amp designer. Hope it gets accepted by guitarists. This new version sounds better than the original. Nice review Phil.
Awesome! I just asked what you thought of these, I am a huge fan. Great work Phil!
I just got one of these I don’t know how this amp gets missed it’s bloody amazing.
Thomas is such a sweet guy and his amps ROCK brother! Miss you :-(
Jesus, get a room 😂
@@Steve-nq8jc 😂🤣😂
Finishing up number one today. Keep an eye on the mailman. And great content
Looking forward to it Sean :-)
KYGelly, good review. Good point about the 20' speaker cable.
I’ll be using it as a stereo rig with my Friedman JJ Jr. head with two Friedman 1x12 cabs.
I hope the effects loop is as good as the JJ Jr.?
I want to see a h2h with this and the Quilter amps and the Milkman “The Amp”
I’d love to see that
I have a Amp1 in the mail so I can compare once it comes in. I can say the Milkman Amp is ridiculously good. Perfect cleans, the reverb and tremolo are really great and the cab sim sounds great. That last part separates it from a lot of the competition. A lot of these don’t have great cab sims, “too dark” or “sterile.” I also tried the Microblock with a Strymon iridium into a Mesa Thiele and that sounded awesome also. All of these setups sounded great with bass and guitar.
Of course for the Milkman you need an overdrive because it definitely doesn’t have the distorted tones that this Amp1 has.
@@johnott193 did you get it? What do you think?
InGrindWeCrust2010 yeah I tried it out for a few weeks. It sounds amazing and I think you could get just about any tone you’d want out of it. Ultimately it wasn’t great for my setup. I’d still rather drag around a Deluxe Reverb or Mesa combo with me.
My 2 favorite products of this type are still the Milkman Amp 50 and Strymon Iridium. Both sound insanely good no matter where you put the knobs. The Milkman nails the Fender sound; and then with that you’d use your pedals in front of it for any overdrive. The iridium is just another perfect Strymon pedal. All the amps, IRs, and rooms sound insanely convincing. Way better than the Helix amp models I’ve played.
@@johnott193 Thank you! Very helpful review!
"They were equally loud". This I have a real problem with. The ultimate volume achieved here is much more a limitation of the speaker played through than the amp itself. The speaker and cab is possibly even more important than the amp itself as for volume & tone.
Great review Phillip, you get excellent sound on your videos, thank you
Between a BluGuitar Amp1 Mercury, Fender Supersonic 22, Blackstar HT20 - which would you get?
Perfect for me
It reminds me of the Tech 21 TRI-A.C., only with a power amp. The Tech 21 is very, very good, I'd love to give this one a try!
Awesome phil. Thanks for all the knowledge on that MIg amp!
Having not seen the power cord for it, I am making this suggestion blind: there is a cutout under the pedal. Will the power cord fit in that cut out channel inside the pouch? Again, I haven't seen the power cord to make the assessment which is why I asked.
Thank you for your Excellent Videos!. Obviously you need a speaker setup for this amp. What would be preferred, lightweight because i am old with R.A.? One 10" speaker, 2- 10" speakers, or 1 - 12" speaker? Thanks!
Robert Watkins you can use it with the ir blubox too
You are a talented and well rounded musician
Nice. Love that G&L in Margarita Metallic!!!
How many guitars did you use on this?? I lost track after you pulled out the Beercaster
Been eyeing these since Justin Johnson showed it off on a video. Very nice little amp!
Nice demo Phil ,thanks !
this outstanding amps!!!
Is this the future for amps
impressive little thing! Cool!
The BlugGuitar Amp 1 Mercury Edition should be able to hold its own with ease against a 100 watt all tube amp, as it's also 100 watts as well. It can even go all the way up to 150 watts at its peak.
When you use the Power soak is when the real fun begins.
Nice piece of gear ☺
Is it loud?
I have an EVH5150 head.
Can this amp keep up with loudness?
would you say that this is better than a Quilter?
Is there such a thing as a speaker cable that has 90 degree jack not just straight? I've looked everywhere on Google and nothing's come up in the search results.
I'll take as a positive no then? Or by a thumbs up is it just because I left a comment on your video? (I'm not being sarcastic)
I worked in a music store for years and never saw one, so I'm gonna say it's something you'll have to solder up on your own. The majority of the speaker cabs (not all) I've seen have a recessed input jack that an angled plug won't fit into. If your cab isn't one of those, then the good news is 90 degree ends and speaker cable are found just about everywhere. If you're uncomfortable with making one, or don't have the tools to make one yourself I'm sure your local guitar shop could whip a few up for you fairly cheaply.
Buy a soldering iron and a plug
blubox will be my preference
Nice!!!
It´s certainly is an alternative, but it aint for free
I will be calling Jordan at Sweetwater and getting one if these soon.
Interesting, but for the price there are a lot of solid state amps out there.
Only this is not another solid amp or digital modeller. This is a fully analog nanotube amp
Very cool!
That amp is easily loud enough to drive a 4x12 cab and the sound tech at the venue told Jacob Cade to turn down the volume.
I've heard it a few times, and this thing definitely has its own sound. Hard to describe, but there's a metallic sheen over some of its overdriven tones that seems to be more pronounced than with other classic amps--not sure if that's the description I'm looking for. Not saying it's better or worse, but yeah, it is its own thing.
I'd love to hear two of those setup on an ABY and having some modulation effects thrown in for some crazy spacial sounding stuff. I'm doing that now but with a pair of Fender Super Champs. Wouldn't it be nice to leave those guys at home (not like they are all that heavy...but you get the point). I want to listen to the clean samples on my home computer because it has far better speakers than what I'm using ATM. For me, an amp's clean abilities are what I'm most interested in using. Still - I love this kind of stuff and glad it's out there. :-)
put your cables in your fancy Yngwie Malmsteen gig bag :P...with that fancy cable holder on the front cheers...ps wish i could have heard the reverb
I just ordered one to make a second board
The Beercaster is back
How does this amp compare to the Quilter Tone Block models! Thanks.
If you would like I will do a comparison video
@@PhillipMcKnight That would be fantastic! Thanks
I have an Amp1 Mercury Edition and a Quilter Micropro Mach2 8". (The Tone Blocks are basically one of the voices on the Micropro). Both the Amp1 and Quilter are great amps. The Quilter does better for Fender blackface tones with its Surf setting - but doesn't do very well for heavier Marshall style tones in any setting. The Amp1 nails the various eras of Marshall tones (especially a Plexi) - but the clean tones are more Marshall clean rather than blackface era clean. Regardless, the Amp1's clean tone is still really nice. So, if you're a Marshall fanatic, the Amp1 is the best choice and if you're a Fender fanatic, the Quilter does better. Of the two, my favorite is the Amp1.
Please also include the h&K black spirit floor in this shootout!! I’m torn between all three
i like it
4:10 Damn Phil, you really earned that feedback. Milking that thing.
Hey Phil, do you have two rooms that you record in?
...this gives me an idea.
Nice piece of kit if you never want a female to appreciate anything you play
Paul Cargo
Zero..
That’s the number of females that have shown interest in any amp I’ve owned.
Used by Jenifer Batten
No offence to Jennifer Batten but is that a compliment to the Blue amp
More Pantera riffs! :)
What's that blue P90 guitar on the wall?
Its my Framus Television. Its in my 5 crazy guitars I own video
@@PhillipMcKnight Thanks mate!
Clever of you to realise you could put the speaker cable in a different bag.
It's as tube as a Joyo Bantamp ... but as long as it sounds good i dont care.
I have this amp. My Marshall Jvm410h sits there collecting dust now
I don't like putting high voltage stuff or speaker cable on the ground. It's where all the liquids end up.
Give me just a box or a rack-mount unit with a cheapo remote pedal any day.
You can use remote controls with this thing, it's designed to sit on a cab as well :) with a line6 hxfx you' d a world of tones at your disposal
The issue with class D power amps is not lack of warmth, it is an absence of body and dimension to the final signal output. You'd probably get away with it in a mix, but it's not convincing to me as a player in isolation. IMO Roland TubeLogic, particularly in the Blues Cube, is the best recreation of tube signal processing to date.
Cool tool!
i use dhis amp original version for evrithing
It does not sound bad BUT it does not sound anywhere as good as a valve amp. Class D is great for bass amps but not so much for guitar. It would be a good backup if your valve amp ever had a problem but not much else.. Just by what I hear it sounded lifeless (that's just me...)
first ever
Also, for over 600 bucks you can buy an HX Stomp and have a lot more usability. Just saying.
This is not digital modelling, just saying. I own one, and i had a helix, and got rid of it but kept the amp1
The Stomp isn't a power amp.
Lance Holland well I run mine to FOH just fine so...
@@lewisbeeman I think you're kinda missing the point. The Amp1 is a guitar amp and not a modeler - you use it with a speaker.
lewisbeeman with this amp you can run it front of house AND have it power a cab on stage.
