This is genuinely the best amp shoot out ever. No talking raw audio samples from all in different styles. With back to back comparisons of the same thing. 10/10 keep up the great work.
And each clip shown pretty close to the next and not minutes of different things before switching to the next amp so you've forgotten what the first one sounded like when you get to the next.
My top 2 are Egnater (most flexible) and Orange TH30. Amazed at how narrow and muffled Marshall and Fender sound in comparison. EDIT: This is how all amps should be demoed.
I agree the Engager was the most versatile and I thought was the best in most categories and Orange TH30 was the best in the other. The only area the others competed was in the Clean tones.
That Egnater amp seemed to have the most response to tone when adjusting those knobs. It just seemed to bring out a wide variety of sound that, well, sounder well rounded and nice.
@@andystagger2906 I'm genuinely surprised at this. I had one and it just had a sound in it that I couldn't get on with, no matter what I did. Like a honky little something in the mids.
I agree too. In fact, all the Orange amps sounded really good to me. I like the Tweaker a lot as well. The Fender was easily the worst sounding. It didn't outdo any of the others in any category imo.
THANK YOU FOR USING THE SAME TRACK IN YOUR COMPARISONS. 10/10. I am greatly thankful for your time making this so we can make an informed decision on some expensive equipment. Thank you again!
I agree with the stated here..BUT, i have extensively tried the 007 combo in the store...sounded beautiful...high gain modern sound...not melting modern metal, but healthy modern tone..truly loved it..this vid , while great, doesnt do it justice
@@voiceofexperience I have a 30r, its a good amp. Not outstanding, but for the price point its a really nice amp, specially paired with an overdrive, also a friend of mine owns the 45 and its a great sounding amp. Honestly, from this video I would never buy a bassbreaker, but maybe the 07 is just not that good, the ones I played sound nothing like this, at all.
This was a hell of a good job at showing how every single amp has a "voice", and it will fit a specific category really well and can still do solid work "across the board". While politely pointing out, that it may not be exactly what someone is looking for. I was completely caught off guard by the Egnater T15 and the Orange TH30 - Especially the price point of the Egnater!
Got the tweaker a few months ago and let me tell ya: This thing isn't to be taken lightly. You get so many options soundwise with its toogle switches, it's amazing. It's a great pedal platform and if you like to play a lot of different music it's a really good choice. Don't get fooled by some forums on the web saying bad stuff about their reliability. Egnater had a problem with some materials they got from a manufacturer, but since they got information about the problems, they changed their source and put on a tight end control. One "bad" thing is, that it doesn't has as many "modern" gadget stuff as other amps. If you need a power soak, or an intern DI-Box you gotta look elsewhere.
Ive been looking at the rebel line...really want the tube mix knob for some reason lol ...honestly i think the cleans sounded the same across the board and the marshall is on the bottom of my list
@@cncnmore4505 Rebel's great, too! If you already have a good sounding clean amp, maybe try out their pedals. They got a similar function called "voicing", tweakable with a knob. I got the Goldsmith as my main OD and it basically threw off all the over drive-pedals of my board xD
@@els1f Even better, stack two overdrives in a single looper (walrus audio makes switches or only 1 loop) and you have heavy to pure clean at the tap of one switch. Personally, i run a boss blues driver and a donner blues drive (on the warm setting) stacked, and its monstrous. Amazing clarity too!
I’m loving the Egnater and the Dark Terror. Loved going over Bruce’s house in Oak Park Mi in the 90s when he built my IE-4 (red face & red box) in his basement. Those were the early Egnater days. Miss them
The TH30 sounds awesome. One of my favorite amps ever. Was quite surprised on the cleans on the Dark Terror. I've been thinking about picking one up to pair with my TH30.
Wow. This demo is perfect. I came here for the sound of the cab rather than the amps. I can hear every little feature accentuated in each amp by the cab. Good production and fantastic layout for this video. Thanks very much, you've got a new subscriber!
Very good comparison video. Really showed me the weakness of some, and the broad range of others. IMO: 1st-Tweaker, 2nd-Orange TH30, 3rd Orange Dark Terror.
the Marshall JVM-1 and the Orange TH30 were my favorites. I was really shocked and disappointed in the fender. the rest were very good and held up nicely. good video
That fender amp would be great in the studio as a background layer. If you needed to prop up a wheel-less car, the fender would work well for that too. The Orange, as usual, has the best clean tones.
Just an incredible vid brother. Switching was awesomely done. Getting a sense of the different amp flavors quick and to the point was, Perfect! They all have their place. And, Nice collection! To the YT crowd, Waste more time on those sick riffs than what type of amp to buy, really though. Amps/Gear will come and go, Skill will last forever! Just my 2 Cents... This video is just Awesome man! Thanks!
I like the TH30 the best but I’m jaded being I own one. Did a lot of testing of amps before I purchased it. Beauty of it is it’s a 2 channel that can be run at 30, 15 or 7.5 watts. During this test it was running at 30 watts with the volume always around 2. This amp sounds best cranked . Especially the clean. Turn the clean channel up to about 2 OClock and it starts breaking up nice. Gotta run the th 30 volume cranked regardless of watt wattage you use and you’ll get the best tones out of it. Again, I’m jaded. I play a Les Paul and an SG straight without any effects. Amp has an effects loop too. Great video.
I was the same for awhile, but now I love almost all of them and have an OR15, which I think is one of the best sounding amps I've heard, especially for its price! If you mainly just play at home, it is a complete work horse of a studio amp, even the cleans are incredible!
I own a TH30 it's the best amp I've ever owned. The vibe and bounce of this amp is indescribable, you have to play through one to know. I own Marshall, Mesa, Fender, Egnater and Peavey. When I first saw an Orange amp I thought "thats the ugliest thing I've ever seen" and didn't bother to even hear what it sounded like but, I saw Jimmy Page in a video using them and I thought I should give 'em a try. changed my life.
What a great demo. I’m surprised how much I liked the Tweaker. Never been on my radar after the slew of reviews I saw about how unreliable they were. Not going to replace my OR15, but might be a nice compliment.
trahnettilhcs it had to do with their transformers. I don’t remember the specifics but the tweaker line used transformers from a third party...said party switched some of the internals of their transformers which caused higher failure rates (egnater didn’t know this). The new transformers say ELITE on them, that’s how you know you’re getting one of the reliable ones. It’s been a while since I did the research so I don’t remember the specifics. I own the tweaker, fun amp
hats off for the effort, great job. on the other hand, since orange cab is used, all orange amps sounded best to me in terms of dynamics and the fullness of all frequencies especially hi ends were brilliant to my taste. i believe in the dominancy of speakers shaping the general sound, more than the amps. therefore, i would also like to hear the same kind of test with each brand's their own cabs intended to be used for their own vision of sound. we know evh is harsh and marshall will be mid accentuated etc. but one type of speaker wouldn't do justice to non orange amps to spread their frequency spectrum as their makers would like to impose.
My favorite in all sound clips was the th30... If if you have the money. But best bang for the buck is also my runner up, the tweeker. Versatility, tone, and price! It's the clear winner to me!
Surprised at the Dark Terror for overall great sound but it seems a bit limited kinda as well, Egnater is probably best overall flexibility and the one I would actually buy first. Disappointed by the bassbreaker the most. The rest were all ok but that's it just ok. Marshall and Fender though were the absolute worst.
No matter who sounds best++ This is by far the best comparison video i have seen++ no bla bla just pure as we would test them in real++ i like a lot
Axel Kipp totally! Everyone just talk! As if they’re paid to keep shut for the sake of business!
++
Axel Kipp anyway they are all too loud for home use except the Marshall
WORD UP

You the man! Bravo.
Pretty much the best amp comparison video on youtube.
My top 2 are Egnater (most flexible) and Orange TH30. Amazed at how narrow and muffled Marshall and Fender sound in comparison. EDIT: This is how all amps should be demoed.
I agree with your assessment 100%
Yeah I was pretty disappointed with the Marshall and Fender
@@RokDAWG1 the bluesbreaker does not represent what fender is capable of.
That's because he's comparing a 7W amp(fender) with a 30W amp(Orange). Ofc the Orange smokes it.
I agree the Engager was the most versatile and I thought was the best in most categories and Orange TH30 was the best in the other. The only area the others competed was in the Clean tones.
Can't believe I'm saying this but that Dark Terror had better cleans than the Fender! :O
I have a Micro Dark. Lovely clean sound slightly cranked with a bit of dirt. Perfection.
The Fender Bassbreaker might sound as if they're close to the Bassmann or bluesbreaker series, but it's honestly miles away soundwise.
Is the gain just from the amps? No pedals or anything else in the chain?
@@gertikatro6375 Just the amps. Wouldn't be much of a shootout if pedals were used.
Agreed
That Egnater amp seemed to have the most response to tone when adjusting those knobs. It just seemed to bring out a wide variety of sound that, well, sounder well rounded and nice.
Noah Chynoweth ....yes
I definitely agree with that
I have an Egnator … it’s just awesome… my Marshall and Fender amps have gotten zero use since I bought the Egnator ❤️😜
@@andystagger2906 I'm genuinely surprised at this. I had one and it just had a sound in it that I couldn't get on with, no matter what I did. Like a honky little something in the mids.

Same. The Fender really sounded like ass.
I agree too. In fact, all the Orange amps sounded really good to me. I like the Tweaker a lot as well. The Fender was easily the worst sounding. It didn't outdo any of the others in any category imo.
TT is kinda limited - OR15 would be a better choice
Kevin Joel just gotta roll the tone back on the TT. Still can’t match the TH30 though.
I wasn't expected that dark terror's clean sounds so smooooth. Thanks for the great video
The way you did this shootout was absolutely brilliant.
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍
THANK YOU FOR USING THE SAME TRACK IN YOUR COMPARISONS. 10/10. I am greatly thankful for your time making this so we can make an informed decision on some expensive equipment.
Thank you again!
Never seen a better and more concise shootout. Thank you.
Man, that poor Bassbreaker consistently sounded like the little engine that couldn't!
My favorite was the JVM-1.
Bassbreakers are rubbish.
Like, REALLY bad.
I agree with the stated here..BUT, i have extensively tried the 007 combo in the store...sounded beautiful...high gain modern sound...not melting modern metal, but healthy modern tone..truly loved it..this vid , while great, doesnt do it justice
@@petaralargic I owned one briefly. It sounded good enough, like you said. In the end it wasn’t what I was looking for.

the clean sample of the th30 sounded massive and filled my studio monitors,
This is EXACTLY what a comparison should be. Thank you for helping me make my mind up.
No sales here. No one telling me which one is the best. One of the best demo video's I've seen. Thank you
Congrats man, one of the best amp shootouts I’ve ever seen. I love how you present it and straight to the point.
Thanks mate 👍Takes a while but I prefer it.
Want to say great job on doing great quality demos
Thanks, it really does help 👍
I’d have to say either the Egnater or the TH30. But that Dark Terror is a surprisingly versatile amp.
This is an exemplary demo video... Never seem such a comprehensive demo... Thanks a lot
Orange are killing it with those amps all of them sound amazing followed by the evh
I wish more VS videos were like this, direct side by side using 10 second short riffs - really helps the ear measure the differences !!!
That TH30 sounds killer!
It's also twice the price and power. Great amp probably.
it sounds louder, weird
This was a hell of a good job at showing how every single amp has a "voice", and it will fit a specific category really well and can still do solid work "across the board". While politely pointing out, that it may not be exactly what someone is looking for.
I was completely caught off guard by the Egnater T15 and the Orange TH30 - Especially the price point of the Egnater!
Dark Terror and TH30. TH30 has *amazing* cleans 👍 Although I like the EVH’s darker clean sound. Great video!
In order overall: Dark Terror, TH30, EVH, Egnater, Tiny Terror, Marshall JVM, Fender Bassbreaker.
Got the tweaker a few months ago and let me tell ya: This thing isn't to be taken lightly. You get so many options soundwise with its toogle switches, it's amazing.

Have had mine for years moving back and forth w gigs and have had zero issues. It's the type of ppl wanting big brand names and a status.
Ive been looking at the rebel line...really want the tube mix knob for some reason lol ...honestly i think the cleans sounded the same across the board and the marshall is on the bottom of my list
@@cncnmore4505 Rebel's great, too! If you already have a good sounding clean amp, maybe try out their pedals. They got a similar function called "voicing", tweakable with a knob. I got the Goldsmith as my main OD and it basically threw off all the over drive-pedals of my board xD
This was a great shootout! Thanks for taking the time to edit all those clips together. Must have taken ages! Much appreciated!
Egnaters are such underrated amps. I'm shocked more pros don't use them.
I had this head, it was quite good but it had an unusual tone in the game channel that I never cared for. Quite good though.
The Egnater shocked me with how good it sounded. The Tiny terror was pretty awesome too. But that’s just me.
Finally ! the comparaison i wanted !
great work !!!
miss the prs mt15
The Orange TH30 dominated. The Bass response king. Dark Terror sounded unexpectedly good.
I thought the TH30 sounded good clean and slightly pushed but got flubby and hairy sounding with the gain up.
I'm really feeling that Dark Terror. It seemed to have a lot of balance on everything to me.
Textbook correct, straight to the point amp demo. It is much more informative this way as it is all about tone. Awesome! Thanks for making it.
Dark terror had the right amount of everything imo
if only it was footswithable with 2 channels!...
@@pakoti96 throw some sort of overdrive or boost infront of the amp, set the gain to a good clean sound, then push it with the overdrive
I definitely second that!
@@els1f Even better, stack two overdrives in a single looper (walrus audio makes switches or only 1 loop) and you have heavy to pure clean at the tap of one switch. Personally, i run a boss blues driver and a donner blues drive (on the warm setting) stacked, and its monstrous. Amazing clarity too!
Peter DD lets just get two (dark terror + micro terror/micro dark) and a ab pedall
I’m loving the Egnater and the Dark Terror. Loved going over Bruce’s house in Oak Park Mi in the 90s when he built my IE-4 (red face & red box) in his basement. Those were the early Egnater days. Miss them
Interesting demo..........the Orange Dark Terror seems to catch my ear the most. Thanks for making this comparison......
Dark Terror, Orange TH30, EVH, Tiny Terror, Egnater, Marshall JVM, Fender Bassbreaker. All in that order
Kind of ridiculous that the Tweaker smoked em all in every category. Amazing.
I’m really surprised by the Tweaker. The TH30 is my favorite amp in the video, but that Tweaker isn’t far behind it
And the price difference makes me more drawn to the tweeker.
really appreciated the knob turning, that's what we want, the range of tones ! thanks !
one of the best comparisons for clean. Thanks!
The best guitar amp comparison on YT!!
Man you put so much effort into this vid and it shows. Great shootout! I just ordered a Dark terror, can't wait to play with it lol.
By far the best amp shootout videa on TH-cam!! Nailed it Bro
Man that EQ sweep with looper is so helpful, amazing format of videos!
Thanks mate, stole the idea off Henning Pauly and Ryan Bruce, then added my own spin 👍
Awesome video, I love how you organized the different clips for a direct sound comparison. Thank you!
I'm just loving the Less Than Jake representation during your power chords!
I own and Egnater Tweaker 15 and it is worth every penny. Absolutely love it
Fantastic demo, this is a proper comparison! For me the Dark Terror was best overall, followed by the Egnator and then TH30.
The TH30 sounds awesome. One of my favorite amps ever. Was quite surprised on the cleans on the Dark Terror. I've been thinking about picking one up to pair with my TH30.

Very good comparison video. Really showed me the weakness of some, and the broad range of others. IMO: 1st-Tweaker, 2nd-Orange TH30, 3rd Orange Dark Terror.
the Marshall JVM-1 and the Orange TH30 were my favorites. I was really shocked and disappointed in the fender. the rest were very good and held up nicely. good video
Damn i love your channel you demo everything with pop punk songs i love instead of the boring soloing everyone else does. I love it
This was EXTREMELY helpful.....I just happen to be looking at 3 of these trying to decide.....so this was perfect.
Cheers 👍
Honestly, I could make any of these amps work well for me. Very thorough work, great demo!
Dark Terror!!! That’s my fav! But I’d like to hear all these through a Mesa 2x12
That fender amp would be great in the studio as a background layer. If you needed to prop up a wheel-less car, the fender would work well for that too.

Dont have a set up near the toilet, so watching amp videos
The Egnater sounds good across the board. Excellent demo.
I wish other TH-cam demos take note on how you demo equipment. Hands down best demo method on the internet!!! Also the TH30 and Egnator are the top
Thanks mate 👍

My dude!!!! Actually making gear videos that help people make decisions!!!!! Bless you and the progenitor responsible for your existence ❤️
I came here to decide between the Orange Dark Terror, and the EVH 5150 III..I left realizing I needed the Orange TH30; that amp blew them all away!
I don't care for Orange amps, but this demo ,may have changed my mind as it seems to be the best of the bunch. thanks for the great demo!
I was the same for awhile, but now I love almost all of them and have an OR15, which I think is one of the best sounding amps I've heard, especially for its price! If you mainly just play at home, it is a complete work horse of a studio amp, even the cleans are incredible!

Invaluable, man. Ironically during quarantine this kind of resource is available. Peace
Good comparison. And leaves me wanting a TH30 where I hadn't before. Damn that thing just sounds good.
Best shootout I've ever seen! Thank you.
My favourites are Orange dark terror and Orange TH30, dayum love the sound of those
Finally a great comparison video , amazing work man.
I love that you're demoing these amps with emo songs from the 2000s lol
agree, "Ohio is for lovers" intro its perfect for clean sound testing
Great way to test products. It’s immediate which gives you the best comparison. Thanks!
Wonderful soundcheck!
EVH 5150 LBX III
for me!
If only every shootout/comparison videos were done like this. Well done. And thank you!
What a great demo. I’m surprised how much I liked the Tweaker. Never been on my radar after the slew of reviews I saw about how unreliable they were. Not going to replace my OR15, but might be a nice compliment.
trahnettilhcs it had to do with their transformers. I don’t remember the specifics but the tweaker line used transformers from a third party...said party switched some of the internals of their transformers which caused higher failure rates (egnater didn’t know this). The new transformers say ELITE on them, that’s how you know you’re getting one of the reliable ones. It’s been a while since I did the research so I don’t remember the specifics. I own the tweaker, fun amp
Had mine a few years w no issues very versatile. Not extremely dirty but decent tight tone all over
All of the Oranges sounded great, but especially the TH30. The 5150III sounded really good too
I like the Dark Terror. BTW great video, this is how a great demo should be done!
I really appreciate the fact that you play a lot of chords and palm mutes because as a simple 3 chord punk guitarist I can actually relate 👍👊
Now this is how to do an amp comparison! I liked the Egnater the best followed by the Orange TH30. Those two were far above the rest.
That little Marshall JVM sounds fantastic!!
best amp demo I've seen in a long time. good job bro. SUBBED
The 5150 clean wasn't anything to get excited about but God damn the distortion Is so good on that thing.
hats off for the effort, great job. on the other hand, since orange cab is used, all orange amps sounded best to me in terms of dynamics and the fullness of all frequencies especially hi ends were brilliant to my taste. i believe in the dominancy of speakers shaping the general sound, more than the amps. therefore, i would also like to hear the same kind of test with each brand's their own cabs intended to be used for their own vision of sound. we know evh is harsh and marshall will be mid accentuated etc. but one type of speaker wouldn't do justice to non orange amps to spread their frequency spectrum as their makers would like to impose.

But best bang for the buck is also my runner up, the tweeker. Versatility, tone, and price! It's the clear winner to me!
I have a tweaker and an or15 that blend. Super flexible tones, especially out of the Egnater’
What an awesome video. Well freakin done!
Dark Terror sounds great....the clarity is great.
I bought the Egnater Tweaker 15 yesterday, so currently that’s my favorite 🤭
Extremely useful, well-done, and thorough video, wow! Subscribed! 🎸🎶
Thanks for the great demo. Going to listen a few times before i can decide on which i like best.
I know it is only for 2019 ones but i think the Laney IRT SLS is also a really reliable option. Thank you for the video!
Lol, hawthorne heights... Great demo 👍
Surprised at the Dark Terror for overall great sound but it seems a bit limited kinda as well, Egnater is probably best overall flexibility and the one I would actually buy first. Disappointed by the bassbreaker the most. The rest were all ok but that's it just ok. Marshall and Fender though were the absolute worst.
Great video! Straight and to the point! Loved the 5150.
Gotta love the Hawthorne Heights riff for the clean demo
I think the JVM and Dark Terror would blend really well, maybe double tracked one on the left one on the right. The dark terror has great cleans!
