I think Dave is responsible for a massive purchase curve on the Katana, I know his video demonstrating this convinced me to buy a 100 watt version, so BOSS know this guy moves units, plus these pieces of audio genius are truly incredible value for us ordinary non-millionaires. Thanks Dave
Boss always has good stuff. I suspect you've sold a LOT of Boss gear by making it sound so good. I'm glad they appreciate you enough to send stuff your way. Great job!
Dave! I just wanted to say on a different note about the Tone City Golden Plexi 1 pedal. THANK YOU! Oh my word! I purchased it, and it is more than epic on my Blonde Deluxe Reverb Tone master! That Celestion pushes those mids so well, it gives it that "Plexi" sound and then it does the most craziest thing I've been really wanting but can't afford it. It also does the 63 Brown Face Princeton type sound. It is so epic 🤣. That WILL be the permanent pedal on my pedal board.
I'm into Electric Blues lately. Do you got some dialing tipps for that wonderbox in combo with a paula? (something like this 14:49) Got it by coincidence. 😅
I love those Roland Cubes....I had a proper JC 77 that I loved for ages....workhorse...I'm interested in the 40watt stereo JC40 as well..I have the micro cube and it's been a great tiny practice amp over the years as well
@@thedavesimpson Interesting! And this from a massive Katana fan too! I'm loving the 100w head so far, as it also has the send/return. So many options out there, it's wild.
Hey, at 24:24 you say "it is not really meant for busking" Why do you say that ? I want an amp for busking and the Dual LC [from what I hear] has a way better sound than the Street Cube 2, even though it is a bit smaller [so might bot new as loud]. Do you think the Dual LX is loud enough for busking ?
@@thedavesimpson For the no mic input I'm fine as I like to play with a RC300 and loop beatbox and sing with the mic directly plugged in the pedal. That being said, I am really looking forward to hear the speaker outside and to hear what you think about it. Tell me if it's LOUD, I love the sound of it, I just want it LOUD for the outside world ;} Thanks for your answer btw
I still got my Roland Cube Lite after 7yrs and yes these are awesome little powerful solid state amps w/dual 3” speakers 🔊 🔊. I Like my cube options: Gain - volume- chorus - reverb - distortion - overdrive - Clean settings are spectacular. If I’m not on my Boss 100 watt amp then I’m on my Cube Lt. Dave throw on a metal guitar then add distortion/reverb or chorus and stand back , it’s going get scary lol
I was looking at this the other day, only thing that put me off was the size (that's what she said 😁) i degres, so i ended up getting another pedal, a daisy chain power chord, because now I've 4 pedal's, and i just got my Orange crush so wasn't a must buy. But it's definitely something for the future. Ps, can we hear some more gig story's? That one about the drummer and the chick in the garden cracked me up. Love you're channel mate, always education for me.
Been looking for a very good small one .So THANKS for he revieww , wil defto try this one . 9 sounds and 3 guitars is enough for me to listen to the sound , might look at part 2 though ...The clean sound is good , the disto sounds good ...Not commenting your playing , no need : )
The speaker itself is not bad, but it's engineer just put extreme high cut and low cut pre-EQ in Every amp type even include the 'stereo in', which made it sound muddy and awful. That's a sad thing because only the aux in channel is usable for me. I tried the global EQ, a little bit help but sound still unnatural. Just don't understand why BOSS put a stupid pre-EQ on every channel...
I have tried so hard to resist but I am going to need another Tele in my life. Let the search begin ! Like the Boss but not a lot different to what it does to the micro cube from Rowland (now long discontinued). I have two and they are excellent.
I wasn't very impressed with the DI sound, very compressed and lacking dynamics to my ear. I much prefer your 🎤 sounds from your cabs. Not for me, but I enjoy when you demo gear and show us new stuff. Love your channel and your honest opinions, keep it up.
I wanted a katana Air untill i saw the price, so i ordered one of these instead , arrives tomorrow , i had a Nux mighty 8 bt sounded awful, thank the lord it died after 4 Months
Dave, I think you're awesome, man. But you just said that Boss are awesome, lovely, and kind human beings. They're trying to make money off your back, and I'm sure you're smart enough to know this. So how can you say they're awesome, lovely, kind, 'human beings' with authenticity? Remember that perceived authenticity is directly proportional to trust.
I mean, isn't that the goal of every corporation? Perhaps Mr. Dave is just excited to try out new gear from a manufacturer he's fond of. And perhaps he's only ever had good experiences with their reps. Also, most of the people who follow Mr. Dave's channel do so because HE is always honest and kind. So when he tries out a new product, we know he's going to give it to us straight, at least the way he honestly feels about the gear. In most other situations, I would completely agree, the youtuber would be working with Boss or whomever, trying to move units to put more cash in everyone's pockets.
@@kevinhill6079 hey, look, I know there is probably nuance here. And Dave is clearly a very loving and lovely dude. But to say that Boss "kindly" sent it out and then say that they are "lovely human beings" (I.e. Boss) raised my alarm in terms of bias - cos the first is not true, at the very least. In that, I'm sure it has raised the alarm of others. It's feedback that can be ignored, if desired. But it's real and worth noting.
@@JulioMacarena I completely get your point. And I'd be annoyed to hear that sentiment from pretty much anyone else. And I am annoyed when I hear it from mist anyone else. Mr. Dave loves boss gear and if he's able to work with them and not sacrifice his integrity in the process, good for him. He can save some money and find new gear he loves. I guess I just don't see why/how taking this particular argument to Mr. Dave accomplishes anything. It kinda seems the only one it affects is probably Mr. Dave. I think he works hard to keep everything honest and sincere. If he's only ever had good experiences with Boss and their staff, even if they work for a corporatized money machine, that may actually be how he feels. There are a handful of brands/manufacturers who I refuse to give my money too. That doesn't mean I tell the sweet old man selling guitars at the shop up the road that he's being dishonest or insincere, working as a sort of shill for those brands because he sells their gear. I'm hoping I don't sound too bitchy, and that you didn't think I was trying to start a pissing contest. Either way; Much love, my friend !
@@kevinhill6079no worries mate. Happy for you to voice your opinion. The sweet old man you mention doesn't tell me that Boss are being kind when they give him their gear to promote and that they're (the company) lovely people.

Dave you always make everything sound like gold.you have a great touch with your fingers and ears. Thanks 👍
Dave - *Plugs into a microwave*
Us - "Goddammit if that's not the best microwave I ever did hear!"

Nice demo Dave. Love the humor as well !

yeah I don’t think I’d have a katana or a ds2 without Dave’s influence but I’ve always kind of favored a lot of their pedals
A1a
This is better than the BBC. Well since the long lost era of The Old Grey Whistle Test anyhow... (And Open University). Subscribed. Loved it.
I liked it. I think it would be a great practice amp. I can’t wait for part 2! 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵❤️
Dave, i could watch you play all day. Always pick up new things. Thanks for sharing. That may be the perfect bedroom amp.
Dave! I just wanted to say on a different note about the Tone City Golden Plexi 1 pedal. THANK YOU! Oh my word! I purchased it, and it is more than epic on my Blonde Deluxe Reverb Tone master!

Do you got some dialing tipps for that wonderbox in combo with a paula? (something like this 14:49)
Got it by coincidence. 😅
Dave, your playing always blows my mind. You should do 1-1 lessons online. I know I'd be interested.
BOSS the industry standard that all others aspire to 👍
I love those Roland Cubes....I had a proper JC 77 that I loved for ages....workhorse...I'm interested in the 40watt stereo JC40 as well..I have the micro cube and it's been a great tiny practice amp over the years as well
Christ on toast! I’m now buying this amp thanks to Dave’s awesome demonstration! BOSS you reading this? Reward this man.
Thanks Dave. So would this replace my Katana 50 MkII or my Katana 100 MkII head as a wee (and more portable) home practice amp? Or do I just have GAS?
Personally I still prefer the NUX mighty air.
@@thedavesimpson Interesting! And this from a massive Katana fan too! I'm loving the 100w head so far, as it also has the send/return. So many options out there, it's wild.
Thank you for this, just got one🙏🌸🙏
Does that have a speaker out jack? Would wonder what it would sound like through a 2X12 cab
Sadly it doesn’t
@@thedavesimpsonwhat? This amp have a line out, sounds bad with a cab? 😢
Hey, at 24:24 you say "it is not really meant for busking" Why do you say that ?
I want an amp for busking and the Dual LC [from what I hear] has a way better sound than the Street Cube 2, even though it is a bit smaller [so might bot new as loud].
Do you think the Dual LX is loud enough for busking ?
I think if it’s on the floor you’d struggle with it on a crowded high street. There’s also no mic input so singing is out of the question.
@@thedavesimpson For the no mic input I'm fine as I like to play with a RC300 and loop beatbox and sing with the mic directly plugged in the pedal.
That being said, I am really looking forward to hear the speaker outside and to hear what you think about it. Tell me if it's LOUD, I love the sound of it, I just want it LOUD for the outside world ;}
Thanks for your answer btw
I came back because i missed your video's! Do you know something about Chapman guitars made in england?:D
How do u think the old micro cube and this would compare? Thx! J in Vancouver
Probably not much to be fair.
Thx!
Dave, I’ve just bought a Nux mighty air, but still had to watch 😂 🤘

was part 2 ever made? not seeing it on yt
edit: nvm, just found the "final thoughts vid" assuming that's part 2? maybe not
Was looking at another Yamaha THR...
But now Boss...😂😉
😎👍❤🖖
Yet another example of why only a fool would ignore the wonderful possibilities of solid state. This may be my next amp.
LAST!! Good gravy Davy 🤟🙏
Is it loud enough for small gigs to hear yourself onstage?
Not really no.
is it simulator channel or is it designed for acoustic guitars?

Monster playing.
Sounds good! If I didn't already have a Katana Air I'd buy one.

Damn. Haven't heard of this. Would love to see the app and looper and stuff. I'll stay tuned. Sounds like a katana with more maybe
No entendí la de la luz verde roja y naranja
Cómo hago para borrar todo??
In the sea! in the sea! in the sea!
The DI sounds very good
Katana 50 or this Boss Dual cube? For home practice
Katana.
Hi, Dave, can You make a demo of some Laney solid state amps? Hardcore, lv, etc thanks
I have a demo of my linebacker head. :)
A comparison with a Roland micro cube?
Ok Fred Savage LoL get it little monster haha 😂 omg remember that Seinfeld episode where Kramer met Fred Savage smh hilarious
Gorgeous clean sounds. The distortion was a bit meh. But your clean playing on the Tele was just divine.
The speaker itself is not bad, but it's engineer just put extreme high cut and low cut pre-EQ in Every amp type even include the 'stereo in', which made it sound muddy and awful. That's a sad thing because only the aux in channel is usable for me. I tried the global EQ, a little bit help but sound still unnatural.

This or the new THR10ii? Got an original THR10 and I fancy a change 😁
NUX mighty air. :)
@@thedavesimpson cheers dude! I'll check em out 👍
be cool to see a shoot out between this and the NUX
Nice idea.
I have tried so hard to resist but I am going to need another Tele in my life. Let the search begin ! Like the Boss but not a lot different to what it does to the micro cube from Rowland (now long discontinued). I have two and they are excellent.
Cool amp! Love to see Boss LX v Nux mighty amp if possible!🙂
How annoying no mic input, I was thinking of buying one but no good without a mic input.
This amp looks like it could do some damage to a person if thrown correctly.
It's a little pricey for what it is. It's dearer than a katana 50, at least here in Australia.
No bottom end!!! I have the Boss Cube 30 that has a 10" speaker... nough said!
I wasn't very impressed with the DI sound, very compressed and lacking dynamics to my ear. I much prefer your 🎤 sounds from your cabs. Not for me, but I enjoy when you demo gear and show us new stuff. Love your channel and your honest opinions, keep it up.
It all sounded a it boxy and muffled, it might even be worse from the built-in speakers.
First like!
Hi 😊👋
I wanted a katana Air untill i saw the price, so i ordered one of these instead , arrives tomorrow , i had a Nux mighty 8 bt sounded awful, thank the lord it died after 4 Months

It actually sounds a bit crap to me :/

So how can you say they're awesome, lovely, kind, 'human beings' with authenticity? Remember that perceived authenticity is directly proportional to trust.
Boss corporate is a money monster, a kind sales rep shouldn't influence your evaluation of the gear they put out. This guy could be replaced tomorrow.
