A comedic demo of Fender's Super-Sonic Amp at GearFest '08 on May 31. Check out our profile for more videos from GearFest, and visit premierguitar.com.
intheblues lol believe the same about you too buddy haha. Came across your channel about a year ago and I love your style and a extremely likable person. Rock on!!
What I find amazing is how many people will diss a person like this for demoing an amp for a company. Have you seen what passes for demos on You Tube in amps, effects, guitars? Really? He's works for Fender, and of course he'll say he likes them, and honestly, he does. I love the Fender sound too. Besides why would you say you didn't like your employers product? Nice way to end your livlihood. Those of you that can't see this should just not watch these demos. That's pretty easy. He's also a helluva of a player. This stuff isn't all he plays on the demos. He's played with Bonamassa, Robben Ford, Rosco Beck, and a host of others. If you think you can do better, be employed by a major manufacturer of your choice, have at it. Then more power to you. We'll all watch. There are a million guitar players out there, some great, some good, a lot of bad. He's just doing his job. And he's a helluva nice guy and he makes the demos a lot less boring than some nimrod talking for 12 minutes and playing the product for 1 minute and badly at that.
Easy now, after literally 10's of thousands of hours of practice! 10,000 hours is the magic number, and he has 3-4 times that!! 10,000 hours your good, 40,000 hours your Koch!
he speaks a language that people understand, humor and detail at the same time, his knowledge of amps and his ability to play multiple genres is why he is touring for Fender and attracting crowds. People can easily decide to go a demo where all they hear is the player . Greg is a great performer, player and he inspires, he is not locked into a single mode...
ah....summer 2008.....Coldplay's Viva La vida (not even a huge fan but that was/is one great song) was moving up the charts on June 7th. Dark Night was the summer's top movie and Mike Phelps was getting ready to make history at the Beijing Olympics...and, of course, Greg Koch was burning up the demo trail....what a summer it was.
Killer amp..... I was traveling for business had some time so I stopped in this music store and tried one out.....bought one when I got home from my trip.....still have it....got to be over 10 year's now....
This is Fender's best multi purpose amp since the Red knob evil twin issued in' 88!! Most everyone overlooked this amp. i was lucky to find a mint condition one for only 700 bucks! But if i didn't find one, this amp would be my choice of stage amp. You can't go wrong with it. Both channels are 100% pure tone! I play this ampm exclusively when I test a guitar at any store that carries it!
The Chet Atkins style is referred to as "Travis Picking" because the style is similar to what guitarist Merle Travis used. Chickin Pickin is the country guitar style where you use your fingers to pinch the strings while still using a pick. Made famous by guys like James Burton and Danny Gatton. Sounds confusing but the two styles are very different.
@gweaterman 6V6 power sections sound different that 6L6 power sections. The 6V6 yields lower total wattage, lower headroom, and a tighter overdrive sound. It's like the difference between a Fender Twin (6L6), and a Fender Deluxe Reverb or Tweed Deluxe (6V6)
Good stuff, vintage Greg. The Fender deal didn’t last (their loss) but now you’ve got a kick ass trio with your son. Nothing beats gigging with your kids.
Wow! I've been looking at other amps such as the Cornford Mk50, Suhr Badger, Port City Pearl, Two Rock, DrZ. etc...but damn this thing sounds great! Cheers! Greg is the best!!!!
You are a nut! I love this video. This is a great amp. I have 2 boogies (S.O.B. and MK III) a 5150, an AC30 and the Supersonic combo. the tones that come out of this amp make the work of finding that area that works, real easy. It is hard to get bad sounds out of this amp. (I'm sure you could but why?)
@goldtopguy1 The SuperSonic being made now is totally unlike this one. They changed tubes from 6L6 to 6V6, so the clean sound is modeled on the Deluxe Reverb rather than a Bassman or Vibrolux. The burn channel is still based on the ProSonic, but with the 6V6 power section, gives a tighter overdrive sound. In my opinion, a vast improvement, but I prefer the Deluxe Reverb sound to the Bassman or Vibrolux anyway.
I've been gigging with one of these for about 5 years now its been a hassle free great sounding amp! I won't use anything. I love it with my Gretsch TV Jones Equiped guitars!!
Only you would come back with a replie like that. Wow i would love to meet you i bet you are one amazing guy. And i guess on my part that was a stupid question
It has a lot more gain than he is using. Don't you own pedals anyway? Get an Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff, that should satisfy any urgent need for dirt.
thank God for you tube for bringing to the world the fantastic talent of Greg Koch ..simply the best of the lot ..so much better than Ford .Bonamassa. Clapton ..yet not as well known ..hopefully that will change

Greg could make any amp sound good, this guy is world class :)

Left handers unite
This guy is hilarious and very very entertaining, but he is a beast on the guitar too. full package
he just invented the genre "Comedy Guitar"
conradovai Frank Zappa did it decades ago. Arguably Bill Kirchen did it with Hot Rod Lincoln.
nope...Jerry Reed took that title in the 70's.
The Dead Milkmen !
All wrong... Early Roy Clark is the pinnacle of comedy guitar
I bet I've watched this video a dozen times during the past year alone. It's still the best amp demo on YT.
Greg is a legend. No one can chicken pick like him. It would not matter what amp he is playing through it would sound good:)
Not even going to lie, i bought my supersonic based on this demo
Yeah me too, I was blown away at how good it sounded live and I got a great deal also. Very happy with it!

Man, that guy is good.
Viktor Von Riesling
Ohh yes he is! He can pretty much do it all and expertly.
Amen
Wow Greg is just outstanding, he makes it look so easy, and for him it is.
Easy now, after literally 10's of thousands of hours of practice! 10,000 hours is the magic number, and he has 3-4 times that!! 10,000 hours your good, 40,000 hours your Koch!
One of the funniest demos I've seen, I wish more demos were like this.
Amazing right hand dexterity. This GUY is GOD Love you Mr Koch
superb presentation job! amazing!
Best demo I've ever seen. Ever.
Fantastic presentation
Lovely played
I'm gonna buy this thing!!!
Great job. I want one!
I’m seeing him Sunday! 9-22-2022
He can make anything sound good with the way he plays!!
You gotta love Koch!!
I could watch Greg do demo's all day long!
this guy is really really funny and a ripper to boot

Went to Mr Koch's clinic last night here in Effingham and he is incredible. Great guy. Thanks Greg for stopping into Effingham.
Frikkin' Greg is clever as hell and an incredible player... dude should rule the world!

really like this amp
just wish they would have placed a tube driven tremolo in it
@gweaterman 6V6 power sections sound different that 6L6 power sections. The 6V6 yields lower total wattage, lower headroom, and a tighter overdrive sound. It's like the difference between a Fender Twin (6L6), and a Fender Deluxe Reverb or Tweed Deluxe (6V6)
@Foodie88 Yeah, is that a full scale Telecaster? It looks smaller than normal.
Wow long time ago I remember this video..
Good stuff, vintage Greg. The Fender deal didn’t last (their loss) but now you’ve got a kick ass trio with your son. Nothing beats gigging with your kids.
Greg Koch guitar lessons are always the best !
Love his work over @ Guitarinstructorcom
Is this the guy that does videos for Wild Wood?
This guy is none other than the guitar gate keeper Greg Koch, yes he does WW Guitars
no thats his dad
Just brought home a blonde combo an hour ago from Sam Ash! Got a great deal on it too! I guess they are clearing out!
Wow! I've been looking at other amps such as the Cornford Mk50, Suhr Badger, Port City Pearl, Two Rock, DrZ. etc...but damn this thing sounds great! Cheers! Greg is the best!!!!
The reporter messes Greg's last name up, twice.
I hope she has this in her video reel.
How does he boost vibrolux and bassman tones ? With the fx loop I suppose but is it still possible when effects are used ?
ive got this amp and its superb, looks and sound
beats any ive used previous hands down
What musical style could 2:19 best be described with??? Wanna learn it but dont know what to google excactly.
greg made a video with hal leonard on how to play 8 lynyrd skynrd songs. It really is superb. learned a lot from this guy.
Awesome player, using a great amp/.
great entertainer
You are a nut! I love this video. This is a great amp.

Greg is a pretty good comedian as well as a terrific player!
I bought one three weeks ago and I like mine

@2boredfortv --i really dig this demo--however alot of what he is showing as difference tween vibrolux and bassman is pick attack..
The bell bottom comment got me in stitches!
I've been gigging with one of these for about 5 years now its been a hassle free great sounding amp! I won't use anything. I love it with my Gretsch TV Jones Equiped guitars!!
Only you would come back with a replie like that. Wow i would love to meet you i bet you are one amazing guy. And i guess on my part that was a stupid question
Can i connect 2 of those cabinets to that one head
I didn't realize Fender made a mini Telecaster.....🤣
This guy is pure entertainment
Can you use this amp for surf music
I bought the supersonic twin 100 bassman and was blown away i still have it ...the blonde beastman
that end lick made me fall out of my chair laughing
That looks like a half-scale Tele in the big guy's hands! :-)
He is a self-proclaimed Sasquatch from behind the Cheddar Curtain (Wisconsin.) As am I ;)
LOL!
He's 6'-8''
Is that the "Doctor Mario" theme from Nintendo, @ 3:23?
I think he is the coolest dude on the planet.... GREAT GUITARIST TOO
i miss this girl
Crazy Koch he's a closet stand-up comic-hes awesome! but Premier Guitar rocks!!!!
Is that tele so small, or is he so round? haha ! great demo
koch is a bad ass. go check his other stuff, i think u will be very impressed
great country and blues amp just not anough dirt for my Rock!
It has a lot more gain than he is using. Don't you own pedals anyway? Get an Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff, that should satisfy any urgent need for dirt.
LOL. :)
Greg sounds like the Griffin's handicapped neighbor Joe on the Family Guy. Great player and great personality. Not a bad sales guy, too.
@respect43 yes, yes you do
I clicked on this video JUST to hear Greg talk. Funniest guy ever. "Power of the night"......Lmfao!
soold!
I can recognize GK from miles away when hearing “you know what I’m saying?”
thank God for you tube for bringing to the world the fantastic talent of Greg Koch ..simply the best of the lot ..so much better than Ford .Bonamassa. Clapton ..yet not as well known ..hopefully that will change
UHH PLAY SOMETHING EHH YEAH
I've met him a few times. The dude is the Sasquatch that everyone has been searching for. Guy's huge!
Don't understand the thumbs down, this was the most perfect demo!
"Do you know what I'm saying?" He must have said it at least 25 times. Maybe that's why. He played pretty well. I like the amp.
Sold. To me.
he's a mountain of a man! look how small the guitar looks on him! killer player!
where is Teller?
He dwarfs that tele!
Do you feel the power? Who's got a syringe!?
it rhymes with "chalk"....lol......love GREG!
@danakerman LOL! to funny dude! And you are so right!
thats it, on my way to guitar center. i'm buying one. boy i hope it doesn't do anymore demos, i might not be able to affoerd it.
