Being an Amped2 owner and trying to be neutral (without trying to justify the £££s I spent buying it!) A couple of things…first when changing amp models, the power amp chosen makes a big difference as it alters what amp style it is trying to model. E.g. on the U.K. setting, EL84 is Vox AC30 style, and EL34 is Plexi territory. 6L6 is more like a driven fender tweed amp. The amped2 kind of fits a different situation than the two notes. I’m a guitarist with a limited budget. I play a few gigs locally, I also like to try and record a bit, also trying to start my own CZcams guitar channel. The Amped does a great job for me. I also own a Blackstar St James 2x12 cabinet. My Amped2 sits on my pedalboard, alongside a few individual drive pedals and a pedal loop switcher with MIDI. I can control presets on my Amped2 via midi and bring in my drive pedals as and when needed. I also use the built in Drive occasionally and the built in mod and delay effects. Yes there is a slight compromise to using boutique delays and mods, but actually the built in effects are very very usable and sound great. I normally play in a duo with backing tracks and I D.I straight into the mixer. The cab sims are excellent. You can change the sims on the back with a 3 way switch or with MIDI. I am thoroughly pleased with the tones I am getting and how it responds and feels to my playing. You can download ir’s via USB to a pc but it has to be converted to Blackstars own algorithm. On the occasions I am playing with a band or if I have the room, I can use my speaker cab and I set the amp to suit the environment (normally 20watt mode). It sounds fantastic through the cab too, cuts through the mix like a valve amp does, feeds back with lovely natural sounding harmonic overtones and is just a pleasure to play. No it’s not a Two Rock, or a deluxe reverb, or a vintage Plexi/ac30, but it gets pretty close. So for me it ticks pretty much every box. Oh yes also there is so much more to it, the tap tempo is also a ‘shift’ control which works with the other settings to access extra features. Leo, try the holding down the delay or reverb pedal when they are on and it goes into this lovely warm self oscillating ambient thing! I will be doing a full review of my pedalboard on my channel as soon as I get my new camera gear and mics! Anyway, I will pass the mic over to someone else now 😂
Yes, I have purchase the pedal from IK Multimedia and it seems it was out of order...Therefore we have to wait until they deliver it to me...of course I will make a totally independent review...and we will put the pedal through its paces...😀 Thank you!
I like the sound of the ReVolt much more. It hasn’t replaced my Synergy amp yet, but when I want to go ampless, it’s the best sounding option I’ve tried so far.
Great review Leo. Both are great pedals, but for very different users. I'll stick with a full modeler instead of one of these pedals. Looking forward to your opinion on the Tone X, maybe versus the Quad Cortex? Keep up the good work Leo. God bless and rock on 👍😎🎸
You are welcome, and actually also for me an amp modelling pedalboard would be a better option compared to the Amped. Yes, I have purchase the pedal from IK Multimedia and it seems it was out of order...Therefore we have to wait until they deliver it to me...of course I will make a totally independent review...and we will put the pedal through its paces...😀 Thank you!
I agree with the sentiment of those wishing to hear the ToneX Pedal. It however does not have an amplifier built in so it is not a comparable product. It is simply a modeler. However the ToneX Pedal is arguably sonically on par with the Quad Cortex and the Fractal Audio Axe-FX yet it is priced like an entry level. It's parent company IK Multimedia only existed in the start to sell software. It simply means 'SOUND is everything'. Those 2 top of the line makers offer much more, not much better. 99% of what is in them is only useful for Shoegaze and movie soundtracks. I repeat 99%. Useless to nearly every genre that has a marketable audience . The 150 locations for patches are all you need. They can be factory or replacement downloads . I think the ToneX is a game changer. Both Pro and many users will also buy the ToneX Capture and over just a year the choice of new plug-ins will be obscene.

Thank you for your always honest, clear and neat reviews. One advice: I noticed that there is no "Joyo gem box 3" comparisons (overall vs ge 200, ampero or nux, etc); I guess it would be appreciated to the most guitarists one review on your channel. I guess it would give you a pretty good number of views! (or maybe you could be also fed up with this cheap digital cheap multi effects!) All the best for you!
Hi Damiano, thank you so much, I'm really happy that you appreciate the reviews! Thank you also for your suggestion...I will reach out to Joyo to check out if they are interested in send me a unit Thank you!
Hi, thank you so much, I'm happy that you like the video! Yes, that another interesting device...unfortunately I don't have it...maybe if I'm able to get a second hand occasion. Thank you!
Ho preso il Tonex da abbinare a Fractal o Helix per avere più flessibilità grazie agli ampli profilati ma forse avrei potuto prendere un Revolt per avere un pre analogico da abbinare al digitale... Con tre canali del Revolt posso costruire tutti i setup che voglio grazie alla flessibilità dei modeller digitali. Cosa ne pensi? so che sono due macchina totalmente diverse ma cosa sceglieresti?
Ciao, è una scelta molto difficile. A me il Revolt piace molto...ha un fascino tutto suo, come tutti gli ampli valvolari (non parlo di qualità del suono in assoluto, ma di fascino e voglia di suonarlo) e lo utilizzerei soprattutto per fare musica mia / brani miei, abbinato ai miei altri pedali preferiti, per cercare di ottenere il suono più personale possibile. ToneX è perfetto invece per suonare cover o in band dove devi avere molti suoni diversi. Ho fatto alcune considerazioni in tal senso in questo video: czcams.com/video/QpNkEy3hzyo/video.html Grazie del messaggio!
Thank you so much, I'm happy that you like the video! I asked to simplifier to send me a unit to test...and they even do not answer me...so, I'm not so inclined to test their units...I would have appreciated at least an answer, even declining... Thank you once more!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Wow, that's really disappointing to hear that the makers of the Simplifier didn't even respond. I'm very curious about their product, but in this day and age it's unacceptable customer service to not even receive a response.
One possibility is to use the Two Notes Cab M: here you can find a video where I have used both together: czcams.com/video/GAhKuPr-l5I/video.html Thank you!
Allora, ero partito con l'intenzione di acquistare in pre-release il ReVolt (che in questa comparativa cmq preferisco) ma quando ho iniziato a vedere le demo, una volta uscito, non mi ha convinto del tutto. Premetto che sono già possessore di un Amp1 di BluGuitar (prima versione) e non ritengo che il, pur valido prodotto, di Two Notes abbia caratteristiche sia tecniche che tonali tali da farmelo preferire all'Amp1. Ho deciso di destinare quei soldi invece per l'acquisto del ToneX Pedal di IK Multimedia (so che lo stai aspettando anche tu 😂) che sembra davvero essere dalle premesse un vero e proprio crack! Insomma Amped2 e ReVolt sanno di già visto mentre il ToneX sembra davvero un oggetto rivoluzionario nel suo genere, tenendo conto del rapporto qualità prezzo e le potenzialità del prodotto stesso. Aspetto con ansia la tua recensione! Sei sempre il top 🤟
Grazie, sono felice che ti piacciano le recensioni! Sfortunatamente non ho mai avuto il piacere di provare l'Amp1, ma ne ho sentito parlare molto bene... Si, il ToneX pedal è in arrivo...non vedo l'ora di provarlo e condividere con voi la recensione!!!! A presto!
Certo, l'ho ordinato e mi deve arrivare...quando l'ho ordinato era esaurito...quindi non so quando arriva...ma credo ci divertiremo a testarlo per bene...senza sconti 😀
Io l'ho acquistato direttamente dal sito IK. Il sito non indica la disponibilità, ma la mail di conferma dell'ordine riportava che me lo avrebbero spedito quando disponibile...vediamo...così testiamo bene tutto il processo...dall'acquisto...all'utilizzo...👍

@@LeoGibsonGtr please Leo if you can, when you check Tonex pedal to check this things: 1. how it is react to OD and FUZZ pedals in front of it? 2. how does it cleans up when using the guitar vol or a vol pedal in front? 3. what are the impedance input and output? 4. what is stereo in this? the amps? the cabs? the reverb? what the stereo output for? 5. can you upload stereo IR? how long the IR needs to be? maximum and minimum length? which format of IR? wave? 6. what is the latency? I could not find info about that. thanks.
Sometimes swiss army knife approach compromises quality. Amped was somwhere in the middle of digital and analog world. Enough to have multiple effects, but would require a little of tap dancing. They could have made a multi effects board contender to Boss GX100 and Line6 Helix. Two Notes have few effects but would maximize your performance, less confusing and sounds more alive in stage
Ciao, gran bel video!ero molto tentato dal Blackstar ma dopo aver visto questo video sono dubbioso.. il revolt sembra di in altra categoria rispetto all amped ll (come suono ovviamente) non sono più molto convinto nell acquisto
Ciao, sono contento che ti piaccia il video!...anche se sono dispiaciuto per averti confuso le idee... Se ti va, facci sapere quale sarà la tua decisione finale!
@@LeoGibsonGtr tutt altro, è merito del tuo video se ho dei dubbi, senza sarei partito a testa bassa probabilmente sbagliando scelta. Appena riuscirò a provarli avrò le idee più chiare 👍
Well, I cannot see me using this devices instead of entry level multi FX pedals as Ampero, Valeton, even HX Stomp. They are more expensive (with exception of HX Stomp) and have less amps, cabs, effects and features... About latency, is 4,4ms be noticeable by human ears?!

@@LeoGibsonGtr Could be interesting understand if software sound better than pedal or the opposite (of course I know sound interface could be the difference)
This comparison is pointless. What if you saw someone comparing and amped 2 to a pedal or compare a boss katana combo to a boss 2x12 cab? Revolt can't power a cab.
As I said in "my two cent" section of this video, at first I thought like you, but then I began to realise that a comparison made a lot of sense...of course you may not agree with us..and this is totally fine....
He compares direct out tone. It makes video very useful. Totally comparable. I literally consider one of them for a multichannel desktop gear with knobs (not menus).
@@SergeiVlassov Like I said the comparison is pointless. Let's compare a pickup truck and a sports car because they both have tires and go... this guy is saying something that can't even power a cab is better than an actual amp is like saying hey this A/V receiver is the best for headphone listening over your phone. Not even the same thing. No idea why I'm even responding honestly.
@sideT.V. I don't know why you are so triggered by this useful comparison. See, the amp section in Amped is just a linear class D amp, it doesn't participate in tone shaping, as would be in case of a tube amp. So, in both units, the tone is fully formed in the preamp section. Both units have several amp models from clean to hi gain, both units have knobs instead of menus, both units have speaker simulated output for direct recording. As I told - for my needs, both units fall into the same category, namely tabletop units with several channels, with knobs instead of menus. To connect to audio interface for home recording. In this case, I never use FXs anyway, I add them later in DAW. And there are many people who do the same. Moreover, a lot of guitarists will use amped to play directly in PA anyway, without using amp section. So, it is 100% justified to compare the tone like this. You can plug Revolt into any small cheap class D pedal poweramp, then you can compare the tone into speaker as well if needed. But this has nothing to do with the quality of the tones of the units. Once again - amped is not a vintage tube amp where the power section has a great impact on tone. In amped amplifier section does nothing but just linearly amplifies the tone that is already formed in the unit. So, we cannot compare features, amped has more, but we totally can compare speaker simulated tones, it totally makes sense.
@@SergeiVlassov Not reading your life story. One is an amp one isn't. Ice cream is not cookies. Water is not dirt. Let's compare a speaker with headphones next. If he compares parts it's fine but to say one is better than another thing that doesn't do the same thing only makes sense to people like you that have no sense. Goodbye.
