Yesss! Now we're talking! Super melting face tone with beautiful rich harmonics and killer clean ! I'm in love with this Mezzabarba M Zero ! A true beast
My eyes just about popped out of my head when I saw the title of this video 😳😳 dope tones my friend! You are an incredible musician and I thank you from the deepest part of my soul for helping a shit day be a little better 😊 thank you.
Thanks for bringin the treble, Rabea! The demos I’ve seen before make this amp seem so dark-sounding - not so! Blistering, man, thanks for giving us a glimpse into its other side. I really like that feedback control.
In all honesty... I think this amp is in the top three best sounding amps you’ve demo-ed. Big fan of your Kraken, and of the Revv stuff, and now this monster.
Rabea bought this amp after making this demo-video. Just to let you know what we're talking about... There's a funny story about this fact told by Mezzabarba himself.
hell your reviews are second to none. You're such a versatile player you can actually SHOW what each feature can do in a lot of context instead of "there's that, that and that I've set it to where I like it here how it sit in a mix thanks for watching". I don't want to bash on anyone but you're the best by far. Cheers!
I've been a soldano / boogie / fender amp user for years. Outside of the Buddha this is the first thing to interest me in a long time. Thanks for the heads-up
Tried my first mezzabarba today. I'm sold. They make me feel as if i could chase tones like a mark v. Price is wow lol. They are nice though! Edit. The feedback is probably similar to 2nd stage gain that emphasizes over/under tones. Not many do that for sure.
@@chrisdaviesguitar You can learn to build your own amps. It might take a few less ambitious circuits under your belt before tackling something like this, but you could build something similar for less than a grand, even using the best components.
Hi Rabea… Does the M Zero have a fairly quiet circuit ? I was trying to listen out for humming / static noise coming from the amp while it’s turned up but I couldn’t hear much of it. Obviously single coils would be more susceptible to it when plugged in. A really awesome and thorough review by the way mate! 👍🏼
Eric Steckel plays one, and he's getting some insane tones out of it. You may want to try out his settings: presence and treble around three, and the rest maxed out. Thanks for the review!
boosts are tricky for me with this amp which i also own one. ime this head doesnt like a lot of volume added to the boost like my marshalls. it works best with the gain a little higher up and the volume only slightly above unity. otherwise it mushes out. it has so much drive in the channel that no boost is really needed with this amp
I'd love to see you trying to get tones from Toska and Dorje and stuff from a boss katana, oh yeah and tabs for Fire by the silos would be bril. Cheers!
Love the rawness of the distortion without harshness! Is that from the feedback control? Why do people say this (and the SLO 100) are more for rock than metal? Would love to hear a comparison between a Mezzabarba and a Wizard MTL!
Came to this amp through Eric Steckel, he's a blues guitarist with the fattest tone ever. This amp does it all. Even Frusciante tone. I'll get one one day
Fun fact about the name of the brand. Mezza ( Or Mezzo somtimes ) in italian, means half. And barba, is beard. So basically the name would roughly translate to Half-beard.
That Feedback control seems to work like a Bias knob on a fuzz or distortion. Chewy and bouncy when low, more compression and attack when high. Nice, too bad it's like 4 grand
Probably not the time or the place for this but the more amps I hear, the more I feel like they pretty much all sound the same? There are a few with characteristic EQs when set flat but even that you can dial in or out. Distortion is distortion. To my ears the guitar makes SUCH a bigger difference than the amp it's running through.
I think your point is very interesting. At some level, high end say, all the distortions sound very similar ... but great! The difference is made by the musician player and his guitar as well.
I guess Rabea tends to use the same equipment and IR's to demo, so it kinds of make everything samey. But if you played the amp in the room, you would notice more differences I'm sure.
I’m pretty sure these are turret board construction not point to point. The only amps I can think of that are true point to point hand-wired are the higher end bad cat amps (black cat etc) and some Matchless. There very well may be others, those are the ones I’m aware of. Great amps though none the less and point to point doesn’t necessarily mean better though they are works of art.
@@wilsonsguitarlounge8244 damn i just listen to both of them and he formed them almost the same way, slow build up to 16th note egyptian scale lick into a nice segway leading back into the rythm part
People say point-to-point with no PCB as if that's a good thing. It'll just be less consistent. Electricity doesn't care if the copper it's running through is inside a rubber sleeve or a resin plate.
Best demo ever of this amp. Cheers from Italy!
I'd love to hear Paul Gilbert play through this amp. Sounds like something that would really suit his style.
Go give Eric Steckel a listen ;)
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!
@@thibaudlepicier398 good man
Yes it has that chewy thing going on
Paul only plays through clean amps now...gets all his dirt from pedals unfortunately.
Yesss! Now we're talking! Super melting face tone with beautiful rich harmonics and killer clean ! I'm in love with this Mezzabarba M Zero ! A true beast

I’m so happy you’ve discovered this beast.
Glad the Mzero is finally getting the recognition it deserves, it's a crazy good amp from everything I've heard of it!
Thanks for bringin the treble, Rabea! The demos I’ve seen before make this amp seem so dark-sounding - not so! Blistering, man, thanks for giving us a glimpse into its other side. I really like that feedback control.
One of the most beautiful tone which you've ever tried.
I love the overdrive tone with the positive feedback turned up at 12:36
Jeeesus mate! This tone is melting face!
Wow!!! Great review Bea!!!
In all honesty... I think this amp is in the top three best sounding amps you’ve demo-ed.
Big fan of your Kraken, and of the Revv stuff, and now this monster.
Forgot about the soldano
and Friedman
Rabea bought this amp after making this demo-video. Just to let you know what we're talking about... There's a funny story about this fact told by Mezzabarba himself.
Excellent tones out of that amp. It’s definitely the upper class of guitar amps with Diezel, Soldano, etc. Great playing Bea!!
The attack of the single note lead stuff is insane! Sounds unreal!
Honestly, best tone I've heard from you. Both clean and heavy
You playing this amp sounds so great. Love these tones man!
Wow,great tones as always sir! The amp sings!
hell your reviews are second to none. You're such a versatile player you can actually SHOW what each feature can do in a lot of context instead of "there's that, that and that I've set it to where I like it here how it sit in a mix thanks for watching".

Those amps are SIIIIICK! Mrs. Smith brought over the Skill 30 when it arrived and HOLY SHIT!
great Job. Thank you so much for demoing this amp. you Rock Rabea !!
the mid heavy sound of this amp really suits bea's playing
Man that 4k camera REALLY makes a big difference. Loving the new camera angles too, it all just looks so good man.
Can we just appreciate the quality of this video ... 😮
I've been a soldano / boogie / fender amp user for years. Outside of the Buddha this is the first thing to interest me in a long time. Thanks for the heads-up
Haha you nailed exactly all of the amps im looking into the circles so to speak. Seems we both ended up at Mezzabarba lol
The tones coming from this is 😳
Just ordered one at good price to use with my Uberschall for hot rodded Marshall/SLO unique tones.
Great demo Rabea! I've had a Z35 for a while now and love the sounds and build quality.
That white dove solo is pure gold.
These amps are top notch. Lots of professional players in Italy use his products.
agree love my MZero a killer amp

Edit. The feedback is probably similar to 2nd stage gain that emphasizes over/under tones. Not many do that for sure.
Sounds great,love your playing and amps!!
Awww man, loved where you were going with the Baritone at the end. I hope that was a tease for something bigger...
Always Tasteful Rebea. Awesome Demo. Keep Up the Great Work!!!!
Dread to think how much that thing costs. A marriage I would suspect lol
Lol, yup... at 4K you can find a decent used car.
*Rabea a Stereo rig would be a bit pricey eh? haha!! Sounds immense!
@@IStabz I have a Blackstar HT Stage 100 and that does all the tones this thing can do.
Lmao 😭

Hi Rabea…

No thx. He’s so self absorbed.
If you try this method, you have to really lean on the volume knob of the guitar to control the amp.
MR MASSAAD!!!!!!!!!! What the hell did you just do to the internet?!!!!!!! 🤣🤘⚡️🔥
First! Great meeting you the other day Bea, keep up the fantastic work! 👌
Rabea brother.....you make anything sound good
I’m putting 2 guitars up for sale today in order to help with my children’s’ education (note left to wife)...in truth? Mezzabarba Trinity baby!!!😎).
Youre a badass Rabea! Amp's not too shabby as well.
Had to drop a like for that intro alone.
Kinda Soldano type of tone on the gain channel...seems a bit hairier than say a Revv. How does it do with pedals going into the preamp?
Totally agree, sounds like a Soldano or EVH beautiful saturation sound!
Yup, it is modded slo100..
boosts are tricky for me with this amp which i also own one. ime this head doesnt like a lot of volume added to the boost like my marshalls. it works best with the gain a little higher up and the volume only slightly above unity. otherwise it mushes out. it has so much drive in the channel that no boost is really needed with this amp
New baritone?🤤 Btw, very nice review as always
that intro riff sounded like white dove and suddenly made me miss dorje
AH-mazing!
Damn son, that opening riffage and soloing...butter to my ears.
Just found this after discovering Eric Stekel. Of course Bea makes it sound epic.
You need a Signature called the MezzaBEA
I'd love to see you trying to get tones from Toska and Dorje and stuff from a boss katana, oh yeah and tabs for Fire by the silos would be bril. Cheers!
The weight loss looks Great Bruha well done!!
Love the rawness of the distortion without harshness! Is that from the feedback control? Why do people say this (and the SLO 100) are more for rock than metal?
Would love to hear a comparison between a Mezzabarba and a Wizard MTL!
I have both of them. MTL is much dryer and tighter.
Soldano SLO-100 or this MzeroOverdrive?? I want to hear your final thought, Rabea!
Nice sounding amp and great player!
stealing that list lick
Okay, I got the amp a few days ago and it's one of the best I've had, thanks for the great review
Would love to see a skateboard vlog and gear run through. Also f*cking banging video Bea👌👌
Oh man it’s been a little bit since I’ve heard the catalyst solo that was sick
Did I spot a Strymon NightSky on your desk? Looking forward to your demo!
Wow! I just heard an amp I have to have (and most likely can't afford, hope it's reasonable)
This amp sounds crazy! Is amazing 🔥 What kind of pickups have your strat? She's bautiful ❤
These amps really scream in the right hands.
Oh man, White Dove 17:40 it's been years : the good vibe from Dorje !
Awesome playing as usual but this amp lacks of originality imo.
Came to this amp through Eric Steckel, he's a blues guitarist with the fattest tone ever. This amp does it all. Even Frusciante tone. I'll get one one day
WHITE DOVE SOLO!!!!!!!!!
@tonymckenzie did a review inside out and he say's that build is toooppp quality: for me he is a trusted guy.
Hope some day could try one.
So funny to see Bea with all these 3/4 size guitars. I didnt know Chapman makes 3/4 size ML3 Bea. ;-)
Fun fact about the name of the brand. Mezza ( Or Mezzo somtimes ) in italian, means half. And barba, is beard. So basically the name would roughly translate to Half-beard.
True, but it's also the name of the designer, Pierangelo Mezzabarba
YOU are straight fire sir...
That Feedback control seems to work like a Bias knob on a fuzz or distortion. Chewy and bouncy when low, more compression and attack when high. Nice, too bad it's like 4 grand
Hey Bea I'm kind of new to your channel but have been following your music for a while. Anyways was wondering do you do lessons at all.
You and Doug Rappaport (you're in good company) are the only ones I've seen demoing a MezzaBarba.
Check out the tones that Eric Steckel (sp?) Gets with these.
Molto interessante, grazie per la recensione.
(Translate from ita)
cool...gonna go run out and buy a few of these puppies ... sounds great though.
🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹
Hey Rabea are you gonna do a video on the Strymon Night Sky?
Wow, amazing sound. I want it. But I can't afford it due to the 'holy-cow' price.
Practicing White Dove there? That’s a juicy solo.....

damn 4,000 dollars export!!! Custom usually means hey, time to empty your pockets!
I love your Tshirts bro.
the commercial at the start is messed up and why does she have one two, SOOOOO many questions.....?
Very nice 👍
Catalyst lead - @17:45 had to rewind and make sure cuz i wasnt paying attention
Not trying to be that guy but that’s actually the solo for White Dove lmao

Let me guess another $200 for the pedal.. Sounds sick though
The signal chain? are you using the torpedo?
Just using the OX :)
Tell the truth which one is better, Soldano slo or this one ???
The Mezzas have dynanamics like nothing Else I've played. Try the Skill and the Trinity
Tone wise, it is a fairly better version of the prs mt15. The price of it though...
Why are the “on” lights always flickering on every amp you demo?
Same reason as to why computer screens are flickering on camera. The scanning frequency on the camera is different than the frequency of the light.
What happened to your other strat ?
Nothing! Just mixing it up a bit
Its like a randall crossed with a diesel amp
Someone let me borrow one of these... just for like 4 or 5 ... years??
kinda sounds like a hot rodded silver jubilee? just me?
