- The Record Breakers are at it again. This time with a little help from American Authors, they’re looking to beat the record for World’s Largest Guitar Amplifier. After choosing the Fender ‘65 Princeton Reverb for inspiration and following the specific rules to beat the record, Full Sail students (with the guidance of their instructors) try to beat the clock and have it built and working by the Orlando Vans Warped Tour date. Did the amplifier meet the specifications for the record? Watch and find out!
Also, stayed tuned to the end to watch a live performance of American Authors’ hit ‘Best Day of My Life’ using our amp.

The 50 or so people there seem to be enjoying themselves. Friends and relatives me thinks. LOL
More like largest cabinet.
The Amp was originally 15 watts at 8 ohms one speaker. We had 6 speakers ported configuration and wired in a series-parallel giving us 5.33 ohms impedance. That made the Amp work at 30+ watts and pushing what would be equivalent to a 60 in speaker.(guessing a wattage of about 90 watts solid state equivalent, we did not have any type of meters to tell us exact wattage) But It was a lot louder than the original amp alone with only one 10 in speaker. It outputted 110 dB SPL.
@@noisyart1863 When someone makes a joking comment about your object that's actually kind of true, so you just describe how you made the object with no other context, because you know, that's how conversations work right?
That's the song they choose to put through the world's biggest amplifier? How sad is that.
Ah man should've just said largest guitar cabinet, it's a fender princeton reverb with six speakers lol. Cant say it doesn't look cool though.
Why didn't they use 6 15" speakers if they were worried about not moving enough air? I mean it's not like they didn't have enough room to fit them.
Couldnt've picked a more guitar-centric song?
Hey guys! We hope you enjoyed this video - what band would you like to see play on this Fender Amp?
Full Sail University Movements
RHCP
Full Sail University high on fire
they could have put way more speakers in that
But does it go to 11?
GREAT SCOTT!!
Now they have to do it again, but even bigger and use Fender Twin amps for lots of volume and headroom, say 12 speakers!.
Didn't ampeg make a 36X10 amp. That was both physically larger and significantly louder.
Back to the future
how many watts does it have
Mike Jeskin alot
not alot i think the amp board inside is from the stock amp.

All of them.
@@fullsailuniversity I'm super late to the party, but it's pretty disappointing you didn't go louder - was there something in the rules that meant you had to use the original wattage?
I just sat here and watched you build the largest amp and then was sad when you didn't play metal
True
Guitarworks in Greenwood, Indiana used to have a 20' tall Marshall stack, would've made a great candidate for this makeover
Hey! Jesus loves you! He died for your sins on the cross and rose again 3 days later! All you need to do to accept Gods gift is believe in him and what he did, And you need to repent(turn from sin and follow Jesus) and ask him for forgiveness in prayer. And remember that Jesus is God! He is three in one, the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit! Have a good day:)
the Largest speaker i got rn is my pa dual 18 inch subwoofer tbh no cap
What do you love to use it for? 😊
Pity it had to be stock.
Somebody give it to metal guitarist! Djent it till our ears bleed!
Quitest crowd ever
Only 6 speakers?
What's poppin
Lightof_Shadows sounds familiar
This is why I love my school. Go big or go home.
Not impressed- actually underwhelmed. That amp didn't seem to keep up even with the drum. It was actually hard to hear the guitar. With a single (4 speaker) amp in one spot, you will get less sound disbursement than you would with 4 one speaker amps. Also, why was there another small amp on top of that big one-? That defeats the purpose.
The classic rock set up still wins- a stacked wall of 16 amps(8x2)/heads on each side of the stage which then goes out to a mixer and powers even more PA's throughout the listening area. That said, I value my hearing so I will listen via low volumes. Quality vs quantity.
Why playing just clean.. Aaaaaaaaaah !!!!!
I wanted to see it chug :(
Clickbait.
So they built a box....lame!
