    honestly all the tones you guys found were bright and brittle with no low mid definition which made the 7 string really lose notes in the chords, i'm wondering if monitoring in the room wasnt giving good feedback to what the oxbox sound actually recorded as

    finally a kyle guitar vid where the guitar is tuned low enough for us baritone and 7string players, and its hunter pulling through with a proper low tuned heavy test and the amp seemed to handle it well.

    Hunter randomly playing Black Label on a 30" baritone tuned to dropped Q was the highlight of the video for me. Also, pitchforks are good for having a cookout with really big grills and barrel sized beer brats, because Germany. Embrace the lederhosen.

      @@neonether💯. Same here. Sounds horrible, but I’m sure it’s the miking and using a room mike or something. I use good earbuds, but it I know it won’t produce clear results due to TH-cam compression.
      It has no low end and treble piercing highs. Not good at all. Makes my ears bleed. No mids either. It just sounds bad to me. Sound is subjective, so it might work for other people. It just will not work for my needs. To be honest, I’ve never really liked Blackstar for the money you have to pay for it. Any way just my $0.02.

    Whoa, right off the bat the chugs sound like ..... I don't even know the word. Sticky? Elastic? It's hard to put it into words.

It does need the boost though.

    Is there a way to completely bypass the ISF stuff? Like does it have to be turned on/off, or is it always active? That's the one thing I would have to find my way around. I never was crazy about that feature and I would've probably liked Blackstar stuff more without it.

      @@Krankenstein So, it seems like that doesn't make it do any *less* than it would at either end, it's a sort of active sweep type of deal that has some solid state stuff that is pretty much always doing *something.*
      I read somewhere that some Blackstar amps have one channel that it isn't active on?
      I might just use my cheap but wonderful Frenzel preamp into the interface with a cab sim. That'll give me the feel of some actual cascaded triode stages but also quiet recording. I'll probably keep one cab and try to find one mid-priced amp with low-ish output (compared to 50 and 100 watt heads anyway). Maybe turn my old Hammond into a low output power amp to use with the Frenzel. I don't know.... I wish I had made smarter gear decisions back when I was working 64 hour weeks.

    Sounds bad to me. High tones are harsh, bass is lifeless and middle is not sweet at all. I owned S1 45W combo and I wasn't satisfied. At first I was thinking that maybe neodymium speakers are the problem, but in the end after listening to a lot of samples on the internet I came into conclusion that this is about the amp. My advice is if you want a tube amp, do not get a Blackstar. These amps are not tube like in terms of sound and also don't react well to anything you plug into them. So you can't fix the missing features with pedals and you always have this too compresed, badly shaped, not breathing tone.
