    It’s crazy how good inexpensive gear is My first amp wasn’t an amp at all… it was my parents stereo. I blew out the speakers lol Have a great weekend my friend

      lol - I did my own stereo but it was a Lloyds if you remember that brand. Never blew it but plugged into a mic input on it

    That little thing has some suprisingly good overdrive tones. If you ever have $35 in your pocket and thinking about spending it on beer and cigarettes, buy one of the Joyo Ultimate Drive pedals off of Amazon instead. I got one a couple days ago and holy crap it sounds great! If you like the Fulltone OCD pedal (I have one, it's my favorite overdrive so I don't know why I bought the Joyo) this thing will float your boat. Keep these great videos coming Alan. I've been checking out your older videos, and you can sing! And you've interviewed alot of the guys on the soundtrack of my teenage years.

      That’s cool to hear. The OCD has been on my radar for awhile - may have to try the Joyo! Yes and so many of the interviews were real pinch me moments!

    Your first strums made my brain remember Grand Funk Railroad's "I'm Your Captain". The electric intro snds like da same amp. The power in these chips are amazing to these covered wagon era ears.

    No clean channel, don't know why there's a crunch button it always distorting the sound. I complained to Donner regarding the lack of clean sound and they sent me another one, same result distorted sound. I don't recommend, looks like a toy and sounds like one too.

      @@GearGasms does that dsl 100 behind you have a master volume control that's good enough to dial in bedroom volume without sacrificing the cranked tone of a tube amp? Or do you have to play it with an attenuator?

    • @GearGasms
      @GearGasms  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve only really turned it up once and it was painful so I’m not the best judge of a cranked amp tone. Lol. But after that disclaimer I can have fun at daytime volumes - let’s call them that

      @@GearGasms I know the Marshall tube amps are incredibly loud . I had a 20 watt that I could not play over volume 3 at home but that didn't have a master volume . I see many people with the 100 dsl in a small home / apartment so I'm curious how they tame them ( master volume or power attenuator). The tone on the 100 is unbeatable, can't get that fullness in the lower wattage Marshall dsls.

    Damn, I just bought one of these for my daughter for her first amp (chill, she's 3), and they didnt even send it in a cardboard box! They literally sent it in the product box just wrapped in a waterproof plastic wrap!

    I'm not allowed to leave reviews on my Amazon account anymore because of all the Donner stuff I got.
    Great stuff for the price! I have a digital piano, electronic drum set, two acoustics, a ton of pedals, tons and tons of accessories, Lord knows what else. Oh, and a ukulele. It is great stuff for the price.
    What really gets me going is that somebody pays $20 for a noise gate and thinks it's going to act, sound, and function just like and ISP Decimator or a RocKtron HUSH.... Dummies.

    Who cares about the amp!! Nice PRS you got there. I saw a nice Custom 24 today at a store. Where I dropped one of my Strats off for some work. Amp doesn’t sound that bad. Would be good for traveling. I play wrong on purpose all the time 😂.
