Me at 15: “I will learn Eruption note-for-note”
Me at 50: “I will learn Shawn Tubbs’ CZcams noodles even if it kills me!!!”
Your playing always makes me feel good. Thank you so much! ❤️
"Here's the guitar without the amp." Always important to establish your baseline.
I laughed when he said that. 😄
😂😆
Hahahahaha
Here's the carpet sound without the gear
Man, the soloing from about 1:17 to the end of the intro piece is just amazing! Plus, cowbell!!
I was initially not convinced about this amp . Thanks to you Shawn , I discovered it sounds as heavenly as the Dirty Shirley with way more flexibility. Cheers mate , Keep these reviews coming!
You’re such a terrific player, Shawn- a great demo of a killer amp. Just received my TwinSis, upgrading from a mini DS. Tone heaven.
You always do these amps justice Shawn, great demo of a great amp! Dave sure knows how build the best amps!
Thanks very much, Mark. Yes, Dave is a talented dude indeed!
Hands down the best guitar related channel on CZcams. Awesome and thanks
Thanks very much, Dan you're very kind, it means a lot to me!
Those runs you play it on the Les Paul in the intro were unbelievable dude.
Damn Shawn! Always a pleasure seeing you play! So inspiring!!
For a guy who claims "I am no shredder" you are doing it Mr Tubbs! Thank you as always!
Eash....that R9 sounds GOOD through that amp!
Yes!!!! Been waiting for this!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
Wonderful in every way!
Great tone as always, Shawn!
Nice amp.....Coincidentally, had the deep feature on my 1983 Natec had wired amp(pre-Egnater). Really useful feature to have. Good to see another Detroit boy employing it.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan that sounds incredible. Love the sound of this thing. Cheers bubba!
Great video. Very nice sounding amp.
Shawn great demo, You are such a great guitar player too .
Thanks very much!!
fantastic amp ! I want to hear you on a record so bad !
Great playing. Damnnnn nice! Amp sounds fantastic, too.
Your sense of humor surprised me.. the guitar without the amp.!!! That’s funny
Thank you ., it’s so strange , I was thinking yesterday that I wanted to see one of your demos and then I was wondering about the dirty shirley’s twin sister and magically this clip came up on my feed... I think I have to actually feel one of these under my fingers even though you do a great job going over it with us... thanks
Sounds great Shawn, as always!
Sounds great as always Shawn. If I didn't have DS40 already I'd be definitely getting this! Might still do :-D
Killer amp-killer guitar player!
Hell yes. The LP solo in the intro was some grade a, pure Colombian guitar playing.
Sounds awesome bro ! No surprise here 😉
nice exact same cab I have so yeah this thing is mine!
Nice amp, nice bunch of guitars, nice touch, nice intro, nice explanation ....worth spending 13 minutes and some around it while Dave's gonna give us once again another terrible headache ....which one of the long list is for you /me ? I guess I'll have to travel to LA. ahahah.
Very nice
The best!
Oh MY!!!! It’s so good! And I love the new Paul too there Shawn.
Thanks, Blake! I wish that R9 was mine but it belongs to Derek Eastveld.
Shawn Tubbs nice!!! If I were to get another Paul it would probably be an R9 or one of the new standards that’s supposed to be closer to the 59 specs than they have been.
Friedman truly makes magic with electronics.
Dave is a talented dude for sure.
He's back with the tasty jams!
Very Nice Shawn ! I’ve got to save up now
I need to hear this with pedals! Boost, drive, delay&reverb in the loop....
Thanks Shawn. ,,,,great stuff
Great to see you play a Les Paul! Cheers!
Always on top of your game....sounds great Shawn. A+
Great demo Shawn and helped me decide to purchase this amp - thanks! What type of attenuation do you use when demoing amplifiers?
Thanks so much! I don't use an attenuator of any kind when I demo an amplifier. The cab was mic'd up in a separate room.
Remember you get almost a third channel with the Buxom Boost into the DS and TS. Fat high gain wonders!
True.
It sounds like you have a little reverb on it? I have the combo. Such an awesome amplifier.
It's actually a short delay.
3:47...Funny Shawn!...Very Funny!! :(...haha...i need one of those amps!! ( any need all Friedman amps! )
I got one of the first combo's. I am surprised on how it sounds with the V30's.....I would have thought that would be the last speaker I would like it with. You have it sounding amazing! Mine came with a Red Back and I actually like it better than with the Cream Back my Dirty Shirley came with.....
I recently got a Smallbox combo that came with a red back. I ended up sending it back to exchange for a Twin Sister combo.
Jury is still out on the Redback for me. It sounded lifeless at low volumes but even using other external speakers to my surprise I did not bond with the Smallbox as I said. Sounded and felt better with my Cream and at low volume too. But if my TS combo comes with a redback I’ll give it another chance for sure. Worse case I have a spare alnico cream (my fav speaker) handy. But now I’m thinking my issues with the redback might all be related to the Smallbox just being the wrong amp for me.
I love my BE50 and my DS mini to death. My reaction to the Smallbox shocked me but I’m at peace with it. Deep down I wanted a Twin Sister anyway. Can’t wait! But I’ll probably have to for a couple months.
@@kirkmulder1599 Funny, I have both the Small Box and the Twin Sister and love them both. I've tried them both with the Creamback M and the Red Back and actually like the Red Back better with both.
thank you for using real mics. i find that IRs sound good but make everything sound a bit generic and flat. I want this amp,!
I will always use the real deal when I demo amps. Thanks for watching Stephen.
Agreed I ran into bass issues with a jtm45 recently , this would have been better.
Great video! The TS tweaks seem to be a better purchase VS the DS. Loved the DS until I heard this video. Does the in room sound prove my ears?
I own a DS 40 and I agree that the TS is more versatile for sure.
Great demo. A difficult question to answer, but oww does this amp compare to the BE 100 Deluxe in terms of character?
The Twin Sister is a 5881driven 40-watt amp that is more along the lines of a JTM 45. The BE 100 Deluxe is a 100 Watt EL34 driven amp. Its character leans more towards a modified Plexi.
Hi Shawn! I too have a Dirty Shirley & mine has the structure switch like yours. Does the other new features warrant owning this as well?
I plan on having Mr. Friedman and the Depth and Bright controls to my amp for sure!
I forgot what the video was about right around when he busted out the Les Paul and yes I am stealing all of those riffs!!!
The Celestion V30 you spoke of - I imagine that’s a Vintage 30?
I just ordered the combo and curious. I really like the mid-present Vintage 30.
Your tones here are stellar. Your tones as usual are stellar.
Ya know what?-You should make a tape.
Haha, thanks, Rob! That is indeed the Celestion Vintage 30.
Subscribed!
Shawn thank you so much for using cabs and mics!!! You Rock. Love your channel.
I’m so over the Ox BS!!
Thanks so much, Kirk! Yeah, I'll always use the real deal when I demo an amp! Thanks for subscribing!!
It is really appreciated Shawn! Good on ya!
Hey Shawn you run overdrives and fuzzes through this on a clean setting?
It takes pedals really well!
Does this evil twin have EL34s or 5881s like the original Thanks Hopefully now that this is out I can get a deal on a one channel DS The DS has been on my radar for a while I have to add that you are probably the coolest/best U tuber out there You cover all the bases and you actually answer most of the questions thrown at you Great demo
It’s 5881’s just like the DS40.
I have the original Dirty Shirley with the structure switch, if you were playing AC DC Back in Black Album material with a Les Paul or SG what structure switch setting would you gravitate towards for that Angus Young Back in Black tone?
I would start with the switch in the down position for sure.
@@ShawnTubbs that's what I've landed on...... I've Done countless ab tests comparing to bib album and while the stock Setting has the upper mid super lead thing it is a bit too smooth sounding whereas the down position is more open and raw sounding to my ear..... Closer to a chaotic non master marshall cranked, the key with the down position for acdc I've found, is to run presence and mids really high to get more upper mids.... And keep bass way down around 2.......
Hi Shawn. What would you recommend to use in a Twin Sister or Dirty Shirley to boost for solos live. And would you use it in the effects loop? Thanks. Your videos are great and your playing is fantastic and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much! I would recommend the DS in my humble opinion for a boost. If you're using the boost to create more gain or overdrive, use it into the front of your amp. If you're using it to create volume, place it in the FX loop.
Using for solo volume only. Thank you!
Just needed to throw in an Ibanez!
I've been wanting to add a Friedman amp to my collection, and can't decide on which way to go. I don't play metal but want the ability to have some heavy tones without needing pedals. Th Steve Sevens model sounds killer and has a good sounding clean tone from the samples I've heard. Price tag aside, it's way too much amp for the gigs I'm doing these days. Wondering if the Twin Sister is a good option or maybe the 20 watt JJ.
The Twin Sister might be a good bet!
@@ShawnTubbs thanks!
Good enough gain for 80's metal say Ozzy, Maiden, Priest, etc. etc.?
Enough gain for sure. Maybe not focused enough. I’d swap the rectifier for s solidstate, rebias, and stick an EQ in the loop to get those sounds.
Shawn, have you added the HX to your board yet?
Not yet. Still figuring things out.
Now to figure out if I want this or a Badger 35…
The Badger is a different voice for sure. It's more of a plexi style top end.
You don’t own a Les Paul, but damn do you let those horses gallop whenever you play one!
Hi shawn what are you putting that head through speaker wise, ive the combo with the redback, if i was to set it like that i would blow out my neighbours hearing never mind my own 🤣🤣🤣
I was running it into a closed back 2x12 with Celestion V30 speakers miked up in a different room.
@@ShawnTubbs it sounds great Shaun, I must try out the v30s, I've a 4x12 loaded with them, but I'll make sure I've my aracom attenuator hooked up first 😄👍😄👍
Why are there two cables into the front?
One is the cable for the footswitch.
3:44 😂
great as always, but... can you play a Gorilla amp?!
Side note: I think the track at the start needs more cowbell ;)
ALWAYS!!!
3:41 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, that scratchy pot technique sounded huge on that amp, and is it me, or did the guitar without the amp sounded a bit thin and quiet...
Haha, good ears!
Does this sound good at lower volume settings?
I would have to say yes, my DS40 1x12 combo sounds killer at low bedroom volume. He has the best master volume in the industry.
@@charlesycoker sweet! I have a Budda superdrive 30 but by the time you get past nothing on volume you're all of the sudden smashed in the face with a wall of sound, definitely not house friendly!
@@cchavez248 yes, I had a Budda Superdrive as well, it had a very touchy master volume.
YEP!
STOP!!! I love my DS40 with the Buxom boost for solos but this amp is perfect for me.. I think it is brillliant to have two identical channels, especially on the DS as it is so versatile.. I have had quite a few high end amps and I always find I don't like one of the channels.
I agree
Yeah I have the DS40 and now I really want to sell it to snag one of these.
That padded amp stand is sharp! Is that the Custom Shop Signature Artist Pro Model and will you cover this in a separate video?
Yep, that is my signature model amp stand that doesn't have my signature on it or any attachment to my name whatsoever that can be purchased at Target.
You’re never giving that Les Paul back are you? I see what’s happening here.😉
It's the one upside to all this stuff going on. The guy that owns it lives in Canada and doesn't want to risk shipping it and can't cross the border. ;)
Shawn Tubbs Those Canadians are so nice I’m sure he’ll understand. By the by, I was talking to Doug Bossi about you and raving about your playing. Your name is definitely making the rounds. Well deserved. 😁
I don't understand... You have master at 1 o'clock and gain at 2o'clock: it should be pretty loud in that room! It's a 40w. How is it possibile?
The cabinet is in another room. I used a Royer 121 / 57 mic combo.
Total noob question: there are two speaker outs on the back of the amp. Can I use either one to connect to my cab as long as I’m going out mono? Are there two for stereo applications when using two cabs?
Edit: also, sounds amazing, dude.
Yes, either output is fine to one cab. Thanks very much!
@@ShawnTubbs thanks so much, Shawn.
Apparently 3 characters with their thumbs dragging down-low came for the Twin Brothers Amp demo by mistake...
During this video I danced so much I nearly puked. But I managed to keep it together.
Hey Shawn! Huge fan of your tone and demo here (especially your playing )
*BIG Question for you* about a pedal in this short *Jeff Mcerlain demo* on brad jetters channel link : czcams.com/video/rt-BwEpQPF8/video.html
please help!
:
This jetter X pedal is amazing but from what I can see it's not made anymore : so I'm wondering in your wealth of pedal experience and demoing ...
*Can you give ANY kind of recommendations*
towards a pedal that is like this BUT ideally cheaper and
*CLOSE to if not similar sounding?*
.
In the video, the jetter has this unique overdriven -amp about to blow up but not quite fuzz sound type of thing happening !
I think it sounds killer and I can't find it anywhere!
.
I've sold countless klon and tubescreamer type clones but I haven't seen or heard anything like this one before !
*If you know of a pedal that is still on the market that will do a very close approximation then I'm all ears*
:
Lastly; if this helps paint the full picture I use an esp vintage plus with an arcane humbucker into a friedman dirty Shirley mini combo. I Have a delay and reverb covered, Im just really chasing a more "unique" overdrive sound that isn't a typical tubescreamer or transparent boost copy etc. To use as a sort of distorted wild card with my friedman!
.
Hope you're staying safe/healthy in these really unpredictable times in the world. You rock and any recommendations are appreciated!
.
Cheers from Niagara Falls Canada🙏🏻🤘🏻☺

I, unfortunately, don't have any experience with that Jetter X pedal though I have heard great things about it. Looks like there's one on Reverb. reverb.com/item/35365161-jetter-gear-pedal-x
I made a doodie
I never understood an amp demo that has all kinds of effects being used. We are trying to hear the amp. period.
Why is it that not one single amp demo guy understands what a "deep" or "resonance" control does?
Same concept as Mesa Boogie Fillmore.
gain adverse as always. dont know why i bother.....
