what kind of setup do you use live? im getting ready to get one and run it through a 60w 2x12. What kind of music are you playing? i have the amp, controller and lop in my shopping cart im ready to go!!
Euge... I've watched this a dozen times, and the interview with Thomas Bluge. I have a pinched nerve in my back and had given up playing out, due to the weight of carrying all my gear. You convinced me to buy the Iridium model, and man it sounds better than the video shows. I had my first practice tonight and only had to carry one bag with my BluGuitar, effects pedal, cables in it, my guitar, and a 2x12 cab. Thanks for all the great video's and inspiring me to keep on shredding! 🙂👍
I had a 50watt JMP Marshall. I purchased the Original BlugGuitar amp 1 and was blown away just like you. Once I dialed it in I could NOT tell the difference. Amazing.
Same experience here. I gigged with a '79 2203 and now it sits in the flight case. The Classic Channel on the Amp-1 Silver (I haven't actually tried the Mercury) is great
Ha Ha.! LOVE Euge, world class guitarist, and I mean TOP world class guitarist he is. And still he is honesty and down to earth. Marshall, Boss, and now BlueGuitar need to pay Euge handsomely for his demonstrations. But then you could give this man a broom stick string and Euge would rock the Heavens.
The other guitar player in my band has a 1973 Twin Reverb - those things are heavy and loud - I am running the Mercury Amp1 into a 1x12 and we sound fantastic together...master volume of the Amp1 never exceeds 4 and there are no issues with hearing both guitars.
Amazing playing and such a good and honest review. Im now seriously looking at buying one of these. Who wouldn’t want something that sounds like the ‘Bad Boy’!? 🔥🔥🔥
I watch alot of your vid's. I really find them informative. Some how I missed this one. This BlueGuitar AMP 1 product sounds unreal. Man you got me rethinking my rig. So small, light weight and portable with that insane sound. I see change coming. Your playing is always top notch too.
Euge, thank-you for this video. I just picked up Bluguitar Amp1 Iridium because of your demonstration. I could not be happier! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank-you for your enthusiasm!
Yeah, thanks to you I got to know the AMP1 and bought it to give it a try. And now I'm selling the Fractal and have just a small pedalboard for live playing and a full tube amp setup for rehearsal and recording. And I'm super happy :) again, amazing review. Thank you and keep on rocking!
Mattias \m/\m/. You cannot listen to him and not smile the whole time. This is the best demo of the blu i've heard. Screamin. Yeah that thing really is an evolution of the traditional tube head.
Thanks Euge, great video! I couldn’t decide between Mercury and Iridium, but now I know which one is the right one for me: the Iridium, has more Gain and is more tight!!!😊
Sounds fantastic Euge! If it inspires you in that way the same as the Bad Boy, that is the best demo you can do! 💪🏼 Also that song makes me even more excited for your solo album coming soon!
Great review. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thomas Blug is a genius. It’s truly amazing what he’s been able to do with these amps. Would love to learn more about his nano tube technology.
This was a really good Demo! I was impressed how the Amp1 Iridium sounded compared to your Bad Boy Marshall, no 2 Marshall’s sound the same but the Amp1 Iridium sounded like it was made the same day as your bad boy.
Watched this a few times, just because of your reaction to the Iridium vs Bad Boy. Priceless in a good way! The eureka moment! Cheers, Euge! My favorite YT guitar channel: knowledge, skills and real experience. How about a matching the Mercury vs Plexi video?
This is exceptional….I can’t wait till the “X” version comes out. That said, Thomas said he designed one of these channels off of the Soldano. I’d love to hear a good demo of that channel. That would be worth the purchase in and of itself. Great demo Euge!
I traded my Axe Fx FM3 for one of these. It is honestly one of the best amps right out the box. It might even out performed my Evh amps which i consider to be be the best plug n play amps
I actually just ordered the Iridium version yesterday after seeing you demonstrate Bluguitar in comparison to the Blackstar Club50 MRK 2 of which I ordered yesterday as well.
i wanted to ask you about your opinion on the BluGuitar amp on the Engl reviews, but it felt kinda inappropriate to ask that in an Engl roundup. Yet here you are with the BluGuitar amp review days later.... damn mindreaders :)
Great review! No wonder Ben Granfelt uses these (the Mercury edition IIRC) nowadays, watched a live gig stream from him and a couple of others during this lockdown. Not related to this product, but Granfelt was a long time Engl Blackmore user too :) Now, I don't remember if he perhaps used the (rarish) Slowhand or Fasthand editions of the Blackmore head, or the regular one. He was actually one of the reasons why I got one and still love it.
I could see it in your face during the opening jam that you really enjoyed playing through that little Blug thing. It sounds pretty freakin amazing if I do say so myself. It's most definitely a perfectly viable option for someone who's looking for the same type of tones as the one's you created here, if size/freight/shipping etc is too prohibitive for a touring musician (or just someone who jams along with friends at local pubs/venues). Great review!
Holy shit that sounds awesome! Never heard of this piece of gear before. The tones it makes are frigging badass! Fantastic playing, you were on another level in this video brother! Thanks for making this video. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put in for us, seriously. Thank you 🤘🤘
I play the AMP1 Mercury on all my cruise ship shows and it is a game changer - killer tones. HOWEVER -- it does NOT top the tone of a GOOD vintage 100w Marshall head - which i obviously use on local shows, not fly dates.. Can't wait for the AMP X to be released by the ever humble Thomas Blug.
hahahah you're reaction at 3:37 was priceless! lol It souds awesome, but the badboy has that bottom end thump that is massive... guess a little tweak on the Blu could fix that.
😎 The Bad Boy is unique but a little tweaking & AMP1 is pretty much indentical. When I did a live stream with Thomas Blug a while ago he tweaked it so well that I couldn’t tell the difference when we did a blind test. I was blown away. Again 😎.
Great demo and playing! Actually, the 100W doesn't come from this nanotube, this is just there to simulate the sound behavior of a tube power amp. It works on low power levels, but after that, the real power stage is a class-d amp. So there should be no interaction between the speaker load and the power amp as you assumed. ;)
I love it! Easy to tell from your reaction that it's a great piece of gear. Thanks for doing this! I've been looking at these and thinking about buying one, but none of the other demos I've seen really captured just how cool the Iridium is.
@@EugeValovirta230V I was wondering if it would end up in the live rig. Seems very well suited for a compact rig. Does it sound as good at low volumes? My main goal would be to use it at home, and I don't think I would want to also have the control switch in order to activate the power soak feature. Thanks!
Yeah it works really well on all volume levels and works great without a cab too directly in the mixer / PA. The response is a bit different obviously than with a load (cab or reactive load) but I got it really close with a Neunaber Iconoclast speaker emulator since we don’t use cabs in Cyhra but just DI and in-ears.
Big thanks for sharing all these things with us. It`s always nice to check videos out where the creator has similar taste as yourself. What I`m trying to say is that you have good taste ;) Gotta love those 80`s roch and hard rock tones! Take care man, cheers from Sweden!
@@EugeValovirta230V you mentioned the mercury edition as sounding different. I'm pretty much all 70s and 80s rock, hard rock and classic metal ie. For me Iron Maiden is about as heavy as I get lol. Will the Iridium do those tones as well as the Mercury's? Or is there a big difference? Thanks man.
I have played the last „Die Krupps“ tour in Europe with three amps (modded Marshall, Fryette Deliverance 120 and a Laney mixed) and started to use the Iridium (back then, that still was a pre production Prototype #3) after the first four or five shows additionally to the real amps. Two shows later we stopped using the tube amps, as the Iridium’s signal was good enough and is a „no-brainer“ for the guitar tech/crew.... Very good product!!!
Holy Mother Mary Euge! I can see why your jacked,that amp sounds clear and sonic,I never heard of that brand,I must say am blown away like yourself. The bad boy has a amp climbing up his ass,all I can say is Wow!! Great vid and awesome riffing as usual. Take care.👍😁🤘
Your video made me put an Iridium on my pedalboard and I swear to god. Les Paul -> SD-1 -> Iridium Classic channel -> Marshal 1960AV impulse response sounds sooooo close to Images And Words rythm guitar tone. I'm lovin' it!
Thanks! Oh he is a really good chug rhythm player with a great sound and even though I play modern metal too I basically just play blues on steroids 🔥💪😎.
Hi, l’ve been watching your channel since a couple of days. This is the best channel that I have seen, great information, fun presentation and you are an incredible guitar player, keep doing this🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻. Greetings from Chile.
Dude, you are so freaking cool! I got excited by your excitement. Never seen anyone react like that! It was authentic. F’n A it sounds awesome! I expect to receive my BluGuitar Amp1 Mercury Edition this week. I can’t wait to play through it!
I just found this review when looking at Amp1 videos. I am so impressed with you my friend! Your tone and your playing are so good!! I may be wrong, but just based on the short time I have heard you play I feel like you have been influenced greatly by Ozzy's guitarists (Zakk Wylde, Jake E Lee, and of course Saint Rhodes!) Whether or not that is true I don't know, but that's what I hear in your playing. So good man! Great review of the Amp1! Well done! Subscribed!
Dang it Euge. Please don't entice me to buy another new amp. I promised my wife that my plexi is the last amp I need. Which I have said probably 10 times now with different amps. That doesn't include pedals, microphones, plug INS, and preamps. Not to mention the new custom GMP guitar or two ( I Can't make my mind up between 2 designs and I own 6 aleady) I am getting for my birthday this July. My wife will hate me (and you !!) LOL... Great video, Man
Thank you for the video, keep them coming! Btw, allow me to recommend you a St. Rock React:IR. It is a reactive load + IR loader like Suhr + great attenuator. To use one single unit instead of multiple. Cheers!
Yeeeah the amp1 is awesome. I use the original version before the mercury edition for my ussual rigs, and dont wanna use any digital anything that was too much again after using this and picked it up this 3 years ago. And now i wanna have the iridium after watching this, hoping mr blug will have distributor in Indonesia 😊😊😊
If I understand correctly, it's a bit different than a tube amp. It actually is a solid state power section, so the tube doesn't make it loud. The tube is involved into the power section though and it makes it sound more organic than a traditional solid state power amp. It is (like you mentioned) not a modeling amp. The preamp section doesn't have a tube if I remember correctly, but it's all real circuit based sound and not computer stuff like Kemper. Have seen many reviews of the thing and it seems to be a fantastic piece of gear. Best review of this thing so far, because it seemed very authentic :) I bet, Thomas Blug could dial them in even closer. He knows his shit very well. Used to work as an amp designer for Hughes & Kettner for years, but eventually wanted to do his own stuff. He's a great guitar player too :) Thanks for this great review.
Yeah I guess it’s a bit different but whatever it is it felt & sounded like I was playing with my old Bad Boy 😎. Never thought I’d see a day that an amp actually makes me feel like my trusty old Marshall but goddamn this thing did it. Thanks man!
@@EugeValovirta230V and like you said, it's real stuff and no modeling which makes it really interesting for me. I don't like this boxes with millions of sounds... Keep it simple.
I have had the Mercury edition as my go to gigging amp for a long time. These amps are 100% legit. I love mine.
💪👌🔥
what kind of setup do you use live? im getting ready to get one and run it through a 60w 2x12. What kind of music are you playing? i have the amp, controller and lop in my shopping cart im ready to go!!

Marshall, Boss, and now BlueGuitar need to pay Euge handsomely for his demonstrations. But then you could give this man a broom stick string and Euge would rock the Heavens.
Thanks! Probably not but at least a different style of rocking 😁.
@@EugeValovirta230V yes you are Euge top class in my book
Please make a "how to play" from "the Song" at the beginning. It is so nice . Love to play that :-)
Thanks! Will add to my to do - list 👌.
The other guitar player in my band has a 1973 Twin Reverb - those things are heavy and loud - I am running the Mercury Amp1 into a 1x12 and we sound fantastic together...master volume of the Amp1 never exceeds 4 and there are no issues with hearing both guitars.

Exactly! 😎💪
I watch alot of your vid's. I really find them informative. Some how I missed this one. This BlueGuitar AMP 1 product sounds unreal. Man you got me rethinking my rig. So small, light weight and portable with that insane sound. I see change coming. Your playing is always top notch too.
Glad to hear! It’s an awesome amp 👌.
Amp1 gives you $3,000 tone and punch for under $800 unbeatable bang for the buck ay!
Euge, thank-you for this video. I just picked up Bluguitar Amp1 Iridium because of your demonstration. I could not be happier! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank-you for your enthusiasm!
Great to hear! Thanks!
Your mood is so contagious Euge! Really nice video and gear as well
Thanks man!

Cool man! Thanks!
Can it be use direct to mixer for live gig
Mattias \m/\m/. You cannot listen to him and not smile the whole time. This is the best demo of the blu i've heard. Screamin. Yeah that thing really is an evolution of the traditional tube head.
🙏😎🔥🎼🎸💪
Right on brother!!
I never even considered one of those things but your excitement makes me really want to try one. Thanks for the great videos.
You should 👌💪😎. Thanks!
Your playing was awesome Euge. To me I thought the bad boy was a bit warmer sounding ,but probably not noticeable in the room. Awesome video!
Thanks! I guess a bit but the channel tone was pretty much maxed on the Iridium so dialling back a bit they’d be even more the same 😎👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V hell yeah. Either way, I think it surprised all of us. The solos were badass at the beginning. Thanks a lot man!
Thanks Euge, great video! I couldn’t decide between Mercury and Iridium, but now I know which one is the right one for me: the Iridium, has more Gain and is more tight!!!😊
Happy to help! Thanks!

Cheers, Euge! My favorite YT guitar channel: knowledge, skills and real experience.
How about a matching the Mercury vs Plexi video?
Glad to hear thanks! I only have the Iridium so can’t do that 🤷♂️😎.
Absolute fantastic !! The Amp ( I got one after this video and used it in the studio) The player !! Great played Mister Valovirta !
Oh glad to hear! Thanks man!
OMG! Amazing! I wish I knew about this unit 4 months ago when I spent over 6k on 2 amps. Uhhhh! Great demo and amazing playing as always!
Yeah! Thanks!
This sounds great! Finally a real fly rig that sounds Real and more importantly Feels real.
Indeed! 👌💪
I really love Your reaction. I have the original version. I play single coil strats and I love the Bluguitar. It’s unbelievble!!
Glad you enjoy it! It is 💪👌.
This is exceptional….I can’t wait till the “X” version comes out. That said, Thomas said he designed one of these channels off of the Soldano. I’d love to hear a good demo of that channel. That would be worth the purchase in and of itself. Great demo Euge!
Thanks!
I think it was the merc modern channel. Irid is more rec.
That amp brought a smile to my face as soon as you started playing it.Great review as always 👍 👌
Likewise 😎. It always does. Thanks!
I traded my Axe Fx FM3 for one of these. It is honestly one of the best amps right out the box. It might even out performed my Evh amps which i consider to be be the best plug n play amps
🔥💪👌
Euge, you have THE style of playing I've strived for for the last almost forty three years. Great demo!!!
Thanks man! 🤟🙏
Man you got some killer tones from the Iridium, so much so that I now have one incoming 🤟🏼
Bad ass playing too bro just my style!
Cool man! Thanks!
That power trio combination of effects on top left gives a total unbelievable dimension to the sound. Very good.
Yeah it’s a great combo! I used it on most of the solos on my forthcoming 2nd solo album 👌.
There's a clip of Thomas fine-tuning the Iridium to come close to a bunch of amps, it's as versatile as heck! Sounds great ofc.....
💪👌
That's an amazing piece of gear Euge! Sounds KILLER!
It is! Goddamn! 🔥💪
Wow, didn't think it would sound that Close. Great Video Euge!!
Thanks man!
Appreciate you for showing the Mercury settings! I’ve been trying to find a good super lead plexi sound will try these out!
I actually just ordered the Iridium version yesterday after seeing you demonstrate Bluguitar in comparison to the Blackstar Club50 MRK 2 of which I ordered yesterday as well.
Cool!

@@EugeValovirta230V I just watched that video actually... Is there a full version of that session that is longer than 7min?
Great review and comparison, Thomas broke the code and put all your favorite amps in a 2lb box.

uhhh.... i think u just sold me on an Amp1 Iridium, Euge. love the channel bro

Yeah they both do those really well. Mercury is just a bit more ”vintage”.
Fantastic review, that was so close to the bad boy I’m sold.

sounds like more refined polished version of the bad boy. if u still using this live, another plus point to come to your show 😁

Not to mention the new custom GMP guitar or two ( I Can't make my mind up between 2 designs and I own 6 aleady) I am getting for my birthday this July.
My wife will hate me (and you !!) LOL...
Great video, Man
😁👌
Thanks and sorry! 😎
Great Euge, nice playing and always with interesting things, tnanks!
Thanks man!
You deserve a lot more subscribers!!!
I agree 😊👍. But I think it’s ok ’cos I reached 10K in a year so the direction is right 😎.
Thank you for the video, keep them coming! Btw, allow me to recommend you a St. Rock React:IR. It is a reactive load + IR loader like Suhr + great attenuator. To use one single unit instead of multiple. Cheers!
Thanks man!
Yeah I’ve been checking them out and would be cool to try one out 👌.
John sykes , somehow came to my mind , Nice playing , and Nice sounding hands.
One of my all time fav guitarists so thanks! 😎🙏
I love this pedal....I just bought one based on your video man and I cant freakin wait to get it!....seems like a pretty amazing piece of gear!
You mean the amp? 😎. But yeah it’s amazing!
@@EugeValovirta230V .....ya, the amp 1 amp....my bad!. It should be at my house this afternoon!. .....cheers from Pennsylvania USA!.....
Cheers! 👌😎
Man you are one helluva guitar player. I would sure like to try and play some bass behind all of that.
Thanks man! 🙏☺️
i feel that i need to buy the iridium now. it sounds so great! and thats the sound in my head. so good!
Strong recommendation 👌. Mine too! 😎
That opening song was kickass!
Thanks man!
@Euge Valovirta Greetings from CHILE!!! Excelent Video!!! am sharing it on twitter!!!
Cheers man and thanks again! 🙏🤟
killer playing. subscribtion flying in
Thanks man! 🙏🎼🎸
always cøøl stuff from you!
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Power section is transistor amplification with a nano tube for flavor in front.
Whatever it is, it’s awesome 🔥💪😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V I have one SS pwr amp I like to run IR loader in front of. This nano tube might do the same thing, just makes it sound better.
Yeeeah the amp1 is awesome. I use the original version before the mercury edition for my ussual rigs, and dont wanna use any digital anything that was too much again after using this and picked it up this 3 years ago. And now i wanna have the iridium after watching this, hoping mr blug will have distributor in Indonesia 😊😊😊
Yeah! 💪🔥
Hell yeah man! Cheers 🍻
This Video pushed me over the Edge ;) i'll order an Iridium Edition asap
😎👌
You open the video with a great song indeed :)
Thanks! That happens when the amp really inspires you to play & write 😎💪.
If I understand correctly, it's a bit different than a tube amp. It actually is a solid state power section, so the tube doesn't make it loud. The tube is involved into the power section though and it makes it sound more organic than a traditional solid state power amp.
It is (like you mentioned) not a modeling amp. The preamp section doesn't have a tube if I remember correctly, but it's all real circuit based sound and not computer stuff like Kemper.
Have seen many reviews of the thing and it seems to be a fantastic piece of gear. Best review of this thing so far, because it seemed very authentic :)
I bet, Thomas Blug could dial them in even closer. He knows his shit very well. Used to work as an amp designer for Hughes & Kettner for years, but eventually wanted to do his own stuff. He's a great guitar player too :)
Thanks for this great review.
Yeah I guess it’s a bit different but whatever it is it felt & sounded like I was playing with my old Bad Boy 😎. Never thought I’d see a day that an amp actually makes me feel like my trusty old Marshall but goddamn this thing did it.
Thanks man!
@@EugeValovirta230V and like you said, it's real stuff and no modeling which makes it really interesting for me. I don't like this boxes with millions of sounds... Keep it simple.
Exactly 👌.
Excellent playing and sound well done
Many thanks!
Bad boy in a box!! Ok so I now need to buy it. Especially if I can get the bad boy.
Yeah! 🤟💪
