Sonic Drive Studio Sonic Drive Studio I dunno maybe at the end? Just don’t break up the demo clips with talking about the gear I guess. Like I know what guitars are made out of and I know what knobs do, I think most people just care how it sounds. Bothers me to no end when someone explains a pedal to me or takes 5 mins to tell me what wood an electric guitar is made out of. Text on the screen like you do is great. One thing I don’t see anyone do is pickups with different amps/speaker combos. What I would do is build a library of riffs played with different pickups recorded direct in, then grab a re amping device so I could rapidly bank amp/speaker combos.
@@SonicDriveStudio To me this a very good and clever way to review. Lots of work behind and I (we all, I guess) thank you very much for your efforts! Maybe a brief comment at the end about your personal preference. That is nice to hear I think. And it is allways difficult to tell from TH-cam but Brent Hinds and Jim Root sounds quite similar (except Natural channel). Am I right?
It's funny, I really don't play music with the orange sound, but I can't help wanting to play orange Amos. It's one of the best sounds for jamming around on guitar.
Im in the same boat. I’ve found myself drawn to orange videos. And a lunchbox amp for around $199? In fact I can’t afford NOT to buy one. At least that’s what I’ll tell my lady.
The Rocker 15 Terror used with a Naga Viper treble booster is truly a match made in heaven, I couldn't be happier with this combination, drive at 3 o clock and a talisman plate reverb pedal is the icing on the cake.
Dark terror for the win. I guess not in this video, but with an eq pedal in the fx loop pushing the mids, its a beast for modern metal. That, and not passing 12 o clock on the shape knob to avoid fizziness and scoopnes, if its make sense. Sorry for my english Suscribed!!
I agree, the darkterror sounds much better then portrayed in the video (that's not a shot at the channel, the video is awesome!). The dark terror also has the most tasty cleans IMO. I'm not a huge fan is when it's low gain though. Other than that, DT all the way.

I thinl the or15 sounds the best, but the rocker 15 sounds very similar and has the better feature set. I'd say it's the one i'd buy if i didn't already have an or15 i modded into being 2 channels
All of these sound absolutely great but I encourage everyone to go to your local dealer and listen to them for yourself and here is why... I’ve always been a Marshall/Peavey guy, I went amp shopping and the first thing I played through was the OR15 and then other orange amps. I’m now an orange faithful.
Fantastic comparison. I had an orange micro dark. I sold it to get the Marshall DSL1 head and cabinet. I then spent weeks trying to get it to sound like an Orange. I have now ordered the Rocker 15 and will most likely sell the Marshall as soon as I get it. Moral of the story is if you have something you dig, keep it.
Did u sell your DSL1 head ? I have one an it's my favorite rock and roll tone but I have been needing an 🍊 orange tube Amp as I've got the Battery power crush 3 and like it another but needs harmonic content with chime/ grind is what I call it, so any way I got an OR15 head unit brand new for $430 believe it or not.
They all sound very similar except for the Dark Terror but the original Tiny Terror sounds the best to my ears. I would buy the dual terror though so I could have a rhythm and a lead channel
I would not get the Dark. It's the only one I sold. Didn't like it at all. The OR15 is a little bit more scooped and fluffy than the Jim Root. In most cases I would choose the Jim Root but for a more low gain vintage player the OR15 would also be great.
@@SonicDriveStudio Awesome demo, very helpful for many like myself who are looking at Orange amps. To me the dark sounds the best though. I guess I like mids? :-)
My first 'Orange does metal' experience happened when visiting a Cult of Luna concert at Pukkelpop. I wanted to know how they got that great murky sound, went to the moshpit and I saw this Orange stuff on stage. Now the Dark Terror is one of my favorite amps.
The Rocker 15 Terror definitely is my favorite, probably because it reminds me of the Rocker 30 head I owned many years ago and it's the only amp I regret selling.
Currently wanting to upgrade to something bigger than my Orange Dark Terror, tried a Rockerverb 100 mkiii and it just didn’t do it for me! For my apartment playing the DT’s 15w is pleeeenty, and it just sounds sooooo damn good! Anyone wondering if they should get a dark terror, do it. Best amp for its class I’ve found and is so versatile!
They all sound in different frequency spectrums BUT if you’re looking for only Orange option to go trough a doom/stoner/trash/punk/melodic METAL territory with a sharp, distinctice and determined tone, than you’ve just one option; DARK TERROR !
Every one of these sounded the same to me, which is weird. Other videos ans recordings i've watched these amps didnt sound all the same like in this demo
The OR15 and the Rocker Terror sound incredibly similar to me (with the OR15 sounding better overall), but the extra features on the Rocker Terror make it a hard choice.
I thought the tiny terror sounded best here along with Dual terror but they are all pretty similar except the Dark Terror which is for heavy styles it sounds like and the OR15 had more sizzle which reminded me of a pedal or something but still cool. I sold my OR15 after back to back comparisons with my Tiny Terror. I thought the Tiny Terror sounded more vintage and natural and the OR15 with its sizzle maybe a modern vintage if that makes sense. It has slightly less mids than the tiny terror I think but not like the Dark Terror which takes it too far for my tastes. The Jim Root is somewhere in there close to the tiny and dual but with a slightly different mid maybe more mid which I like. I have to check that one out as it sounded really good on the leads. Rocker 15 sounded very nice too. I liked the cleans a lot. I need to check that one out as well.
Love the video! I’m shopping for an Orange now and this was super helpful. I love the tone you got from the Rocker 15 with the iron cross guitar. What were the settings you used? It’s hard to tell from the little window. We’re you using a boost?
I really like your videos man but I have one objection and it is not just you. Using load boxes and IRs pretty much levels the differences. Yes I know, that, it can produce similar to same (with extra processing or eq) results to a miced amp etc and having the isolation from room is a godsend (especially if the room does not help) but it disrupts the connection with the speaker. Is it so crucial? Well to me yes. Because the speaker itself is a magnet that when moving produces current and pumps it back to the amplifier. That is filtered by the pressence/ressonance controls and is there even when those controls don't exist on an amp. It is called negative feedback and it affects the character, gain level, attack, tightness and stability of the amp especially when the power amp and speaker interact (meaning, some volume). On super hi volumes, available gain in this feedback loop becomes minimal and it stops behaving as I described (which means that when you push an amp to its limits pressence and ressonance don't really do much and you hear guys complaining about that). That said, as every speaker is different impedance wise on different frequencies, its relationship with the power amp etc changes a bit. All of the above do mean that different amps through the same speaker (or the same through different speakers) becomes a whole new "system". And you take this out of the equation when using a loadbox (even reactive ones). IRs, suffer from bass being handled differently as well but, eq correction etc. Still, my main gripe is that pretty much, you input amps into IRs via loadbox you pretty much are at the mercy of the IR for the end result. I would love to hear this video with actual recordings if you can, via the same mic and cab even if it is not as polished or good sounding. The playing and tone of this video, though is superb. So great job man. Even if it doesn't take that loop thing into account lol.
Oh and some amps don't have this negative feedback loop at all. I don't know if this is true for the terror line of amps. Most of them have the same power amp. I can't feed a line going back from a transformer tap to the PI in the schematic from a quick glance so the tiny terror may be an open loop. The others I would like to see the schematics though.
@@81giorikas thanks for your feedback. On this channel you won't hear or see any real mic'ed up cabs anytime soon for a couple of reasons. Main reason being that I don't have the luxury of blasting a real cab for an extended period of time where I work, especially not at really loud levels. Also, I just prefer the workflow of a loadbox and IR's. Is it a different workflow than working with a real cab? Sure! It's just the way I choose to work and I LOVE it! I did try all the Orange amps through my Orange 2x12 multiple times and I have compared them side by side, the differences as presented in this video are pretty much the same as through my real cab. That's my personal experience/opinion though. Again, thanks for you feedback and for hanging around! Have a great day!
@@SonicDriveStudio Sure thing man. You probably won't be surprised that on the latest tone talk with that famous sound engineer live, he prefers loadbox to palmer speaker sims vs a kemper or anything else really!!!
this is super helpful! i really love the sound of the OR15, but having only one channel makes me really want to lean towards the Rocker 15 Terror. i play an 8 string guitar and while i'm not really looking for a high gain modern metal tone, i do wonder which amp would handle the lower frequencies with more clarity. the OR15 seems to have more warmth but i wonder if it would be more muddy when playing lower octave chords, compared to the Rocker 15 Terror. what do you think?
Tremendous video......no other effects used at all right? Live in Singapore and Orange stock limited. Liked the OR but the Jim Root also sounded great. Shit,they all did! I’m going shopping
I'm split between these two and the OR15. I think it might just be the audio in this vid but the Dual Terror sounded a bit fizzy, and the Rocker 15 sounded fuller while also being high-gain.
So, my main amp is a Rockerverb 100 MKIII and I LOVE IT! I'm looking for a good portable amp for a band in the vein of Teenage Bottlerocket (check 'em out!!). Which would you recommend?
I have the Brent Hinds. Its totally a different and unique orange. Very versatile but not for super high gain music, which is hard for me because I have to compensate with OD pedals.
@JCRS Thanks for that comment. I’m looking at Brent Hinds because it sounds a little more Marshally than the others and I’m specifically interested in lower gain.
They are all great, i am actually saving for one, would have ti discard the ones without fx loops and the Jim Root because I wouldn’t find it anymore, then the or15 and dark terror are both amazing and I can find em both here in Mexico new and cheap, but the clean channel of the rocker 15 and Brent Hinds are a big plus, problem is I haven’t been able to find em here on Mexico and buying em online makes em almost 50% more expensive than the DT/or15
Great video but for direct audio comparison I would have much preferred switching between the amps on each riff. Your ears just forget which is beat when so many riffs and time has passed 👌
Its always the same error that is announced in sucg video presentations and "tests": "I present you, how XY and Z sounds, so that you can judge, if its sound appeals to you!" - But this bases on a fundamental error: - An amp, that is presented here on TH-cam WILL NEVER SOUND IN A VIDEO PRESENTATION LIKE IT DOES AT Y O U R HOME, rehearsal room or studio, - there are multiple differences, that makes that impossible - even if you use the same guitar, same speaker cab, cables and effects: What YOU hear, is the BROADCASTED SOUND of the amp and gear in the recording setup of the video maker, mixed, eq'ed and compressed! - Its a complete other thing to use all this under YOUR INDIVIDUAL or "real private" conditions. That's the same cause, why you NEVER should buy an instrument or amp only because of the sound, that you heared, when you checked it only at the music store!! - if you like to get a reliable impression of this sound you"ve got to take it home for one day and test it under YOUR home or rehearsing room conditions! - If you for example only just use a different speaker system to the one YOU USE, an amp may sound IN A DRAMATICALLY OTHER WAY!! - So demonstration videos like the most that are produced for musicians here at YT are only valid in a very restricted way!! - Never count on the hope, the amp or instrument you are hearing at TH-cam will have the same sound, when you play it in YOUR home or rehearsal setting!! Its an approach - nothing more! You have to realise that!!
These are full tube and sound richer and clearer. Plus you can get that power tube distortion too. Btw I have micro dark and am considering upgrading to a full tube 🍊
Marrant ça Je regarde ta vidéo là Le mec arrive à essayer plusieurs têtes sans les brancher en les laissant en deco derrière lui mdr Et autre détail qui tue il change de T-shirt en fonction des grattes mais pas des ampli mdr Un bon fake lol
Ton commentaire fait pitié mec. Déjà tu prends pas la peine d'écrire dans la langue de youtube, tout ça pour dire de la merde sur un youtuber qui fait un travail génial de comparaison d'ampli. C'est un des rares à faire ça aussi bien... Tu jetteras un oeil à ses autres videos grâce auxquelles on peut comparer du peavey, du marshall, du orange... Ensuite, il t'est pas venu à l'esprit qu'il s'est filmé qu'une fois par piste et qu'il a pu faire ça sur plusieurs jours (ta remarque sur son t-shirt). Bref casser une démarche comme celle-là, avec des arguments aussi moisis, franchement tu ferais mieux de te taire.
The Bret Hinds one sounds awesome... I just can't get past the "Brett hinds" and "mastodon" badging... Mastodon and all the nu-pop-christian-metal shit is frigging awful! I kinda quit listening to metal any newer than like Tool and Korn... It's just horrible... Thinking about buying both that and a rocker and swapping the covers and then selling the rocker....
Holy shit a gear review channel that doesn’t talk, demos multiple guitar/pickups and amps with time stamps? Maybe god does exist.
Haha! Thanks! I was planning on doing more talking though, or should I not?

I'm rapidly becoming an Orange fanboy, they all sound great to me.
It's funny, I really don't play music with the orange sound, but I can't help wanting to play orange Amos. It's one of the best sounds for jamming around on guitar.
I love the harmonic content of these amps. So rich.
Im in the same boat. I’ve found myself drawn to orange videos. And a lunchbox amp for around $199? In fact I can’t afford NOT to buy one. At least that’s what I’ll tell my lady.
The Rocker 15 Terror used with a Naga Viper treble booster is truly a match made in heaven, I couldn't be happier with this combination, drive at 3 o clock and a talisman plate reverb pedal is the icing on the cake.
The dark terror en OR15 have the best high gain sound imo. Awesome video and awesome editing!
Thanks!
For me the best sound are the Jim Root, has more low ends and clarity in each note with tone of gain, it’s incredible, even better than a Mesa wow !!
Dark terror for the win. I guess not in this video, but with an eq pedal in the fx loop pushing the mids, its a beast for modern metal. That, and not passing 12 o clock on the shape knob to avoid fizziness and scoopnes, if its make sense. Sorry for my english Suscribed!!

The root terror is awesome, crazy how hinds and roots are discontinued
Merci so much for all le temps que tu as spent to faire plaisir à nous même!!! GREAT REVIEW!!!!!
Definitely the best comparison video out there.... No talking just playing.
Really appreciate this
I'm subscribing 👍👍
Fantastic comparison. I had an orange micro dark. I sold it to get the Marshall DSL1 head and cabinet. I then spent weeks trying to get it to sound like an Orange. I have now ordered the Rocker 15 and will most likely sell the Marshall as soon as I get it. Moral of the story is if you have something you dig, keep it.
Did u sell your DSL1 head ?

Best, most easy to follow, gear review I've ever seen on youtube. Thank you for all the work you put into this!
Loved the rocker 15, Brent hinds and the Jim root. All amazing
They all sound very similar except for the Dark Terror but the original Tiny Terror sounds the best to my ears. I would buy the dual terror though so I could have a rhythm and a lead channel
Best of the best comparison. Complete and full.
All amps is perfect. Orange its my love. I have tt, jr and waiting dark in this moment.
Awesome video, I really appreciate the time and effort you put in. Love my Jim Root Terror, but I must admit the OR15 sounds great.
I never thought I would ever want an Orange but these things are AWESOME!! I'll take one of each😁
The perfect demo, the best on the web the way !!!
Fantastic demo mate! OR15 all the way )
It's still pretty hard to beat the original Tiny Terror. The OR15 sounds pretty great though.
The best test review I've ever seen about comparing amplifiers. Good Job Man!!!
Really love your video!!! I have the OR15 and I love it.
Tiny terror!!! Love that AMP!!! Best video!!!!
This is the most helpful play through/comparison video for amps. I am so torn between the the OR15, Jim Root, and Dark.
I would not get the Dark. It's the only one I sold. Didn't like it at all. The OR15 is a little bit more scooped and fluffy than the Jim Root. In most cases I would choose the Jim Root but for a more low gain vintage player the OR15 would also be great.

@@SonicDriveStudio haha I just bought the dark terror. It was a great price $220 couldn't pass it up. Hopefully i can get some usable tones from it.
I liked the Rocker 15 Terror, but the Tiny Terror is amazing.

Thanks so much for the video! It was a great comparison and really educating! Thanks for the effort
None of these sound bad. They all just sound different.
Cool video. I'm going to say my faves were the OR15 and Rocker 15. Runners up would go to DualTerror and JimRoot.

Nailed it!
Tiny terror 🤘
The Rocker 15 Terror definitely is my favorite, probably because it reminds me of the Rocker 30 head I owned many years ago and it's the only amp I regret selling.

Che bell arpeggio nel clean 👍👍👍
Every one of these sounded the same to me, which is weird. Other videos ans recordings i've watched these amps didnt sound all the same like in this demo
This is now the official Orange head buying guide.
The Jim Root was awesome but at the end of the day none of these sound significantly better than the original TT which speaks volumes...
Super cool video👍 what are the pickup in your guitar?
Damn. Time to start collecting Terrors apparently.
Wish I had the money for the Rocker 15, with my Gibson Les Paul Jr it is my dream rig.
I have one, and love it. Save up bud, and get it!
The OR15 and the Rocker Terror sound incredibly similar to me (with the OR15 sounding better overall), but the extra features on the Rocker Terror make it a hard choice.
They all sound so aimilar, almost identical
*edit - the back to back made me see the differences, or15, rocker 15 terror and dark terror for the win
I'm with you on the first two, but didn't care for the Dark Terror, sounded too buzzy in high gain to me. Like a can of bees!
I thought the tiny terror sounded best here along with Dual terror but they are all pretty similar except the Dark Terror which is for heavy styles it sounds like and the OR15 had more sizzle which reminded me of a pedal or something but still cool.

No boost!
Is there a video giving the lowdown on loadboxes and DI from your orange amp to recording?
Great playing. What is the bedroom setting like on tiny terror
This was great. Thanks. Is tab available for that killer rock lick?
Wicked review! Just in time when i’m choosing wich Orange to buy!! Wich song did inspire you when you play the sunburst ltd les-paul shaped guitar?
these sound great.... What you did to achieve that stereo spread on clean sounds?
Nice work man. Please Make a rocker verb vs cr120 comparison please
That would be killer. Unfortunately I don't own those amps....

Someday it will happen! \m/
I really like your videos man but I have one objection and it is not just you.
Using load boxes and IRs pretty much levels the differences.
Yes I know, that, it can produce similar to same (with extra processing or eq) results to a miced amp etc and having the isolation from room is a godsend (especially if the room does not help) but it disrupts the connection with the speaker.
Is it so crucial? Well to me yes. Because the speaker itself is a magnet that when moving produces current and pumps it back to the amplifier. That is filtered by the pressence/ressonance controls and is there even when those controls don't exist on an amp. It is called negative feedback and it affects the character, gain level, attack, tightness and stability of the amp especially when the power amp and speaker interact (meaning, some volume). On super hi volumes, available gain in this feedback loop becomes minimal and it stops behaving as I described (which means that when you push an amp to its limits pressence and ressonance don't really do much and you hear guys complaining about that).
That said, as every speaker is different impedance wise on different frequencies, its relationship with the power amp etc changes a bit.
All of the above do mean that different amps through the same speaker (or the same through different speakers) becomes a whole new "system". And you take this out of the equation when using a loadbox (even reactive ones). IRs, suffer from bass being handled differently as well but, eq correction etc.
Still, my main gripe is that pretty much, you input amps into IRs via loadbox you pretty much are at the mercy of the IR for the end result.
I would love to hear this video with actual recordings if you can, via the same mic and cab even if it is not as polished or good sounding.
The playing and tone of this video, though is superb. So great job man. Even if it doesn't take that loop thing into account lol.
Oh and some amps don't have this negative feedback loop at all. I don't know if this is true for the terror line of amps. Most of them have the same power amp.
I can't feed a line going back from a transformer tap to the PI in the schematic from a quick glance so the tiny terror may be an open loop. The others I would like to see the schematics though.
@@81giorikas thanks for your feedback. On this channel you won't hear or see any real mic'ed up cabs anytime soon for a couple of reasons. Main reason being that I don't have the luxury of blasting a real cab for an extended period of time where I work, especially not at really loud levels. Also, I just prefer the workflow of a loadbox and IR's. Is it a different workflow than working with a real cab? Sure! It's just the way I choose to work and I LOVE it! I did try all the Orange amps through my Orange 2x12 multiple times and I have compared them side by side, the differences as presented in this video are pretty much the same as through my real cab. That's my personal experience/opinion though. Again, thanks for you feedback and for hanging around! Have a great day!
@@SonicDriveStudio Sure thing man. You probably won't be surprised that on the latest tone talk with that famous sound engineer live, he prefers loadbox to palmer speaker sims vs a kemper or anything else really!!!
@@81giorikas it's all about personal preference! A lot of good options these days.
this is super helpful! i really love the sound of the OR15, but having only one channel makes me really want to lean towards the Rocker 15 Terror. i play an 8 string guitar and while i'm not really looking for a high gain modern metal tone, i do wonder which amp would handle the lower frequencies with more clarity. the OR15 seems to have more warmth but i wonder if it would be more muddy when playing lower octave chords, compared to the Rocker 15 Terror. what do you think?
The OR15 is plenty bright and has major gain and chunk ! The clean channel is what ever I guess , not really that important really !
So now I need to buy the 120?
Hey and the Micro terror?
The Brent Hinds almost sounds...dare I say it...Marshallish! Is that true in the room with it too?!
Absolutely!
I'm having a very hard time differentiating between the Dark Terror and the OR 15. What would you say are the key differences on the voicings?
I Love Orange Amplifier...
now im hungry... take my LUNCHBOX :D
Tremendous video......no other effects used at all right? Live in Singapore and Orange stock limited. Liked the OR but the Jim Root also sounded great. Shit,they all did! I’m going shopping
aeeeeee!!! great again!
Is any off them built in the UK or all Chinese?
Dual Terror or Rocker 15 for me
I'm split between these two and the OR15. I think it might just be the audio in this vid but the Dual Terror sounded a bit fizzy, and the Rocker 15 sounded fuller while also being high-gain.
So, my main amp is a Rockerverb 100 MKIII and I LOVE IT! I'm looking for a good portable amp for a band in the vein of Teenage Bottlerocket (check 'em out!!). Which would you recommend?
Jim Root terror is my bet. It's based of the Rockeverb MK II's preamp - the amp Jim uses.
i would like to se more AMP setting rhather than Difrent GUitars is all about find difrent tones of each AMP, thats the Goal!!! cheers.
36:01 sounds like You Never Give Me Your Money by the Beatles.
Would a Dark Terror be able to keep up with a hard hitting drummer for hardcore music or should I just spring for the dual
depends on the cab as well, but they are quite loud for practice at least. Live, they are either loud enough, or you mic up anyway
Great comparison!!! What amp did you use for the intro tune?
Tiny Terror!
I have the Brent Hinds. Its totally a different and unique orange. Very versatile but not for super high gain music, which is hard for me because I have to compensate with OD pedals.
BTW looks like the price of the Brent Hinds dropped to $599. I paid full price for mine in January.
@JCRS Thanks for that comment. I’m looking at Brent Hinds because it sounds a little more Marshally than the others and I’m specifically interested in lower gain.
@@billgreen3629 you will be satisfied with the BHT. Get an EQ pedal and place it in the fx loop to sculpt the clean channel.
40:15 29:21 32:05 23:54 26:38 34:48 37:31
Thanks for putting so much effort in this video. What's your favorite?
Probably the Dual or Tiny Terror but I also really like the Jim Root
How loud can the or15 get? Is it loud enough to reasonably gig with without being mic’d up?
The OR15 tho
Hello,wich one could suit Alice in chains sound ? And Loud enough to gig.thanks
They are all great, i am actually saving for one, would have ti discard the ones without fx loops and the Jim Root because I wouldn’t find it anymore, then the or15 and dark terror are both amazing and I can find em both here in Mexico new and cheap, but the clean channel of the rocker 15 and Brent Hinds are a big plus, problem is I haven’t been able to find em here on Mexico and buying em online makes em almost 50% more expensive than the DT/or15
45:48 vs 46:24
Hi, which one do you think is closer to Marshalls? Thanx
Honest answer: a Marshall... But the Brent Hinds has some Marshall bite for sure. Tiny Terror can also kind of do that.
What would sound closest to the orange crush?
Probably the Jim Root, as it is based on the Rockerverb MkII, as is the CR100
Which one you like the most ?
Good question. I guess for my style I prefer the Jim Root, Tiny/Dual Terror and Rocker 15 Terror....
Can’t decide between the or15 and rocker 15
It's hard to beat the Rocker 15 Terror
@@SonicDriveStudio I know 🤣 but love the or15 tones.
But I have tu use them with my tele with lollar pickups
Hey hey! Where comes the tone from in the intro? It's awesome!
The very first bit is the Tiny Terror!
Cleans sound the same to all.. OR15 and Dark Terror seem to have a bit tighter distortion... I hear no other difference.
Great video but for direct audio comparison I would have much preferred switching between the amps on each riff. Your ears just forget which is beat when so many riffs and time has passed 👌
This is a little late, but at the end of the video he pretty much does this. Click through to the end and see if that’s what you were looking for?
totowroe ah... so he does!! You’re right 👍🏻
Its always the same error that is announced in sucg video presentations and "tests": "I present you, how XY and Z sounds, so that you can judge, if its sound appeals to you!" - But this bases on a fundamental error: - An amp, that is presented here on TH-cam WILL NEVER SOUND IN A VIDEO PRESENTATION LIKE IT DOES AT Y O U R HOME, rehearsal room or studio, - there are multiple differences, that makes that impossible - even if you use the same guitar, same speaker cab, cables and effects: What YOU hear, is the BROADCASTED SOUND of the amp and gear in the recording setup of the video maker, mixed, eq'ed and compressed! - Its a complete other thing to use all this under YOUR INDIVIDUAL or "real private" conditions.
That's the same cause, why you NEVER should buy an instrument or amp only because of the sound, that you heared, when you checked it only at the music store!! - if you like to get a reliable impression of this sound you"ve got to take it home for one day and test it under YOUR home or rehearsing room conditions! - If you for example only just use a different speaker system to the one YOU USE, an amp may sound IN A DRAMATICALLY OTHER WAY!! -
So demonstration videos like the most that are produced for musicians here at YT are only valid in a very restricted way!! - Never count on the hope, the amp or instrument you are hearing at TH-cam will have the same sound, when you play it in YOUR home or rehearsal setting!! Its an approach - nothing more! You have to realise that!!
Yet....my MICRO-Dark has a 20W tube pre-amp....🤔
Smaller, more power...tube pre-amp...yes please.
These are full tube and sound richer and clearer. Plus you can get that power tube distortion too. Btw I have micro dark and am considering upgrading to a full tube 🍊
They are all so close......

Ciao mi piacerebbe che recensissi questo ampli😍😍😍
Marrant ça
Je regarde ta vidéo là
Le mec arrive à essayer plusieurs têtes sans les brancher en les laissant en deco derrière lui mdr
Et autre détail qui tue il change de T-shirt en fonction des grattes mais pas des ampli mdr
Un bon fake lol
Ton commentaire fait pitié mec. Déjà tu prends pas la peine d'écrire dans la langue de youtube, tout ça pour dire de la merde sur un youtuber qui fait un travail génial de comparaison d'ampli. C'est un des rares à faire ça aussi bien... Tu jetteras un oeil à ses autres videos grâce auxquelles on peut comparer du peavey, du marshall, du orange...
Ensuite, il t'est pas venu à l'esprit qu'il s'est filmé qu'une fois par piste et qu'il a pu faire ça sur plusieurs jours (ta remarque sur son t-shirt). Bref casser une démarche comme celle-là, avec des arguments aussi moisis, franchement tu ferais mieux de te taire.
The Bret Hinds one sounds awesome... I just can't get past the "Brett hinds" and "mastodon" badging... Mastodon and all the nu-pop-christian-metal shit is frigging awful! I kinda quit listening to metal any newer than like Tool and Korn... It's just horrible...
Thinking about buying both that and a rocker and swapping the covers and then selling the rocker....
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!
