Marshall guy here,but hesitant to pull the trigger on the digital amp.You made it sound amazing I'm hoping when I get to turning knobs and syncing it I'm not disappointed.
The yamaha THR's are Next generation amps, they are 20 years ahead of their time! These things sound like you are hooked to a stack and have all the best effect pedals hooked in! Crazy how good they are! Not to mention they are METAL, built like TANKS!
I have download links for the Fender Fuse files that I got directly from a Fender employee. Haven't tested them out since they're for Windows and Mac--sold my Windows laptop & never had a Mac lol. Idk if I should post them publicly, but if anyone wants to check them out, shoot me a private message.
I literally just wanted to hear the vox, for a small home recording I want to set up....nice.... I used to run an old rivera 100w tube head pre drive/shaping(had a lot of parametric stuff) then into my jcm 800 half stack...loved it....now I am old..all my gear is gone, but my childhood rocker is still alive...I am definitely going to get one(and an envelope filter or noise suppressor of some type :) ...thanks russel brand....keep that panterra going...some old cowboys from hell maybe :)...damn I am old.
The code series all deliver such great tone. I run mine through a direct input box and the tracks always scream marshall. I can't believe digital can sound this close to tube amps without all the insane power use and no blown tubes. No temperaments valves . They boot up in like thirty seconds and have USB outputs. great deal for the money. Well thought out controls and great classic tones . I sound like a commercial. They just sound that good in production use and are great for playing gigs as well .
Great video, Dagan & Co! Yamaha's modelling stands the test of time, methinks. The THR really kicks the rear end for what it is and offers. What strikes me is how rich & saturated it sounds even at low volume levels, plus it's a stereo. Loved the video, thanks!
Great overview, the Marshall, VOX and THRIOC ROCK... I’m gonna checkout the Line 6 video , I like the idea of the direct non processed sound, to run simulations like BIAS FX through.
Left out the best, the Peavey Vypyr Pro 100, but the best ever and it can be bought for very very little $ now is the Vypyr Tube 60, the amps and effects sound exactly what they were modeled on to the point where if you selected the Fuzz out of the stompbox bank of effects(has a stompbox bank and another bank which would be like running them through the FX loop) and put it through the Fender and then the Plexi amp models you can hear the differences and how they would sound through the real amps, and the hidden gem of that amp and all those first gen Vypyr amps(haven't tried it on the Pro 100 but it cant be worse) and especially the Tube 60 & 120 versions is the USB out for recording, would love to see a video of the battle of the budget amps from like 10 years ago and take people back in time and maybe further and show these kids how stuff was back in the day(could do so many videos with that concept!)
I have a THR 10 which is an amazing little box. Highly recommended. My Blackstar tube just died for the second time. Too much money for that. Just ordered the Kantana 50. Blackstar will make a nice boat anchor.
I have a great question for you.. I just invested in a 2023 Gibson Les Paul 50's Standard. I want to obviously get the most out of this guitar. My concern with modeling amps is that I wasted money on a great guitar when any guitar would sound awesome through a modeling amp. I feel like I have to buy a tube amp to get my money's worth out of the guitar. My biggest question for you is- these tube amps say they have a line output that "simulates" the sound from the speaker. Does that mean the line out is a digital representation of a tube amp? Or is it a real analog output using the tubes? I just don't know. I feel like I bought way too much guitar and now I can't benefit from a modeling amp. If you have any feedback I'd LOVE to hear it. Thanks for your time.
I have the code 100 watts head and use it a 212 Marshall cab. With a little tweaking it sounds great. Just follow some post and you should be able to get a good usable sound
I heart my Fender Mustang GT 40, especially now that it has another 10 amplifiers, 17 pedals and 10 cabinets simulated over its original release version.
I’m confused, what amp should I get for a Sterling John Petrucci JP150? I have a dinky, little 10 watt Sawtooth practice combo amp and I’ve borrowed a Line6 Pod HD Pro X for the time being. What should I get? Should I replace my Sawtooth amp with a better practice, combo amp? Should I get speakers for the Line6 so I can actually hear it or will it come through the combo amp if I plug Line6 in? Can anyone describe to me, in detail, what are some good combo amps or speakers or whatever for my situation and what features and details they have? Tell me what those functions do on it like reverb or presence or anything else. Please give me every last detail and comparison. Thanks in advance!
I want to buy practice amp w/ budget 200$, im really confused which one to buy, Blackstar ID core 40 v2 or Line 6 Spider V 30 ? Can you guys give your opinion please 😁
OK but in this case what is the best modeling amp ? I tried the Fender mustang LT 25 but it's a piece of shit too I was used to the Roland micro cube for many years which was not excellent but very good I keep a very good memory of it
I have a "Code 100" 212 and it's a very usable amp but the presets are a waste. I don't know what they were smoking when they were set up, but they're unusable. You've gotta ignore them and start from scratch, and use the "gateway" app on your phone. Makes it the whole experience much easier. ✌️🇦🇺
I have the THR10X...amazing tone and versatility! At first I thought it was a bit expensive, but it is worth every penny! I even ran it out to an old stereo to make it as loud as I wanted it to be. Incredible!
Boss was definitely worth a look. Sounded really good. Yamaha THR10X sounded better than the THR10C but still too small. Boss, Fender and Marshall stood out. I don't own any of them and this is just my crappy opinion. I'm not trying to beat up any of the amps so be don't be hurt if you own one. I'm not a gear snob- if it sounds good to you- then it IS GOOD- go get it, play and have fun. Don't listen to youtube morons.. especially me!! x P Cool Video! Great review. Thank you.
Does it matter what guitar you have anymore? Did I just buy my first Gibson Les Paul for no reason...when I could have bought any guitar and it would sound the same through these modeling amps?
What do you guys recommend? THR 10 or Boss katana, I don't intend to gig or anything it's more for inhouse use, but katana also has 0,5 w mode and it could be quiet, what would be better 0,5w mode katana or thr 10 :D ?
its true budget modelling amps in a budget range is good the ultimate modelling amp is the hughes and kettner black spitit 200 does actualey do the real thing but you get what you pay forthats why the back spirit is the best modelling amp up to date and louder than any amp you have ever heard
Can you use any of these modeling amps with a bass? If not, what modeling amps are there for bass guitar? When I googled it, all that came up was the Peavey.
in the software\firmware area, I keep wondering if instead of multiple amps, cabs, reverb\echo and modulation effects, A single amplifier head could be developed that did what that amp does\did\should do. You plug in your favorite cabs, and yes impedance makes a difference. It won't blow up though.
Fender was doing that at the time of your comment more or less with their Tone Master amps. Tbh, as long as you're talking about pro level modeling (which at the Fenders' price point you certainly are) there's basically no advantage to doing that. Regular multi-fx are more than capable of modeling amps in basically a component to component basis (think Helix or Axe-FX quality) while also packing a slew of models for comparable costs. Unless you're really driven by the aesthetic of old amps or absolutely hate digital UIs and tinkering, there's no reason to pick an amp like you mention.
Is there anyway to switch effects on any of these amps with a foot switch like if I want to go from clean to another tone with chorus and delay on a crunch channel with out using my hand can I do that with the marshall code thanks
David bro. To switch effects in the marshall, fender or the boss katana, you wold need to buy a separate footswitch which is almost 150 dollars. But with the blackstar id core 100 or 150 you would get an included footswitch which you can use to switch effects or use it as a looper.
I saw some video's where Boss said that (on a lower wattage) putting the Master at 100 and using the channel volume gives a really nice pushy sound. So I suppose "that's probably not how you should be using it" is not true. :)
One of the features that make me want it so bad when I upgrade a few months down the road! I love the tones when I have the master cranked to 7 or 8 so having the option to lower the wattage is perfect!
Katana is not a modelling amp. It's a dedicated solid-state amp. The acoustic channel is NOT an acoustic simulator; it is a specific circuit for plugging in an actual acoustic guitar, so you have a real acoustic amplifier built into the electric amp.
Sorry to have to disagree with you man, but it is not a modelling amp. A modelling amp by its very definition is designed to closely replicate, or "model", a specific make of amp. An example would be a SuperChamp X2 modelling a bunch of different classic Fender designs. Or the Fractal having all its particular amp designs such as the Rectifier or 5150, or the Vox having the AC30 model- designed to emulate those specific amplifiers. The Katana is not designed to do that; it is simply a solid-state amplifier, in the same way a Peavey Bandit or a JC120 is. None of the channels on the Katana are designed to sound like any specific amp. I suppose the argument could potentially be made for the Brown channel- although it is designed to have the characteristics of a type of sound, not a specific amp. The effects circuitry in the Katana IS digital modelling- those effects are named as being models of specific pedals. But the actual amplifier signal chain (preamp, power structure, etc) outside of the effects is not digital- it is analog, same as the Bandit or JC120 mentioned above, or countless other non-tube based analog amps over the years. So the Katana creates its tones in the same way that most overdrive pedals do- analog circuitry. Which leads to another thing- a lot of people on CZcams hack on the Katana because it's not a tube amp- yet those same people will praise the tones of SRV, Mayer, Hendrix, Iommi, Gallagher, Rhoads, Brian May, or whoever, all of whom used analog overdrive/boost pedals to help obtain their great tones.
WhatWouldHouseDo i see your in depth knowledge but I call modeling amps ones that you can model effects and sound, not just eith the knobs ( I'm aware that Im not right but it ends in same way) ps. buying katana 50 in few days :) have a nice day
You need the fx loop on thee Katana and some others here for using a looper pedal properly, which is why id have the 100w even tho I would prefer to have a 50w, cos the 50 does not have the fx loop or extra footswitch option, still a brilliant amp tho. But those Yamaha's are "tres magnifiqe".
Without an FX loop you will have to use the loop pedal in front of the amp, not in itself a problem except that you will only get the sound of any pedals in front of the loop pedal in your loops, you wont get the use of the onboard effects for your loops, the loop pedal records what goes in to it. So you would still want pedals in front of your modelling amp, which you bought for all the onboard effects. Or more to the point you could record a loop but you would not be able to change the sound of anything you played over the top of it. Hope that makes sense.
I have the Marshall code 100 combo, using the blue tooth app, you can save your settingsto the hand held device without altering the amp. sweet. it also has an effects loop and a speaker out option so you can use a 4 x 12 if you feel the need. I love it.
How could you put a Fender Mustang GT ? It sucks, the Mustang III & IV Blows the GT away. I played both & own a Mustang GT with an upgraded Swamp Thang speaker. Wonderful amp. I also love the Boss Katana 100W combo. Blues On....
you probably made your decision already but if someone else is thinking about Line 6, DON"T DO IT they just aren't made well and while the features are nice the don't hold up. They're known for overheating and cutting out. Save your money and buy something else ( I have a Line 6 Spider 112 Valve behind me that lasted 3 years before it just started cutting out randomly)
Curiosity question from all amp users (especially these models): Anyone here use the headphone jacks? If so, is the sound quality improved, diminished, or equivalent to the speaker? Also, I would assume the use of the jack would disengage the speaker, correct? My headphones are solid (Sennheiser PXC 450) and there's a 9 month old in the house who I would prefer to NOT wake from naps. Any thoughts/comments are appreciated.
I don't use one one of these amps but it is a Yamaha and when I plug the headphone jack in it diminishes the sound quality and seems to make it distorted and as if the bass has been turned up. But then I don't use proper music headphones sooo... Hope that helps
i dont know about headphones. but i was looking into the katana and its got some kind of practice setting thats quite. but still sound like an amp would cranked.pretty cool feature. so you don't drive people crazy practicing
Not a bad review, BUT what about controls? Some of us may want to use amps live, and you failed to mention footswitches, control capabilities etc. Serious fail, in my opinion.

And I forgot to mention something that is key to why they are soo good, the distortion isn't digital, it's using Peavey's Analog Transtube technology
I was wondering if I'm missing out with almost a decade behind us, but I still have my Vypyr Tube 60, can't see why I should switch at this point.
as usual, great demo's and informative...the katana and the Yamaha THR10X were may favs with the Blackstar coming in 3rd

I have a "Code 100" 212 and it's a very usable amp but the presets are a waste. I don't know what they were smoking when they were set up, but they're unusable. You've gotta ignore them and start from scratch, and use the "gateway" app on your phone. Makes it the whole experience much easier. ✌️🇦🇺
I have one of the early Yamaha THR 10s and it's incredible. Huge sound in a tiny box. I'd love to try out one of the Katana amps.
I have the THR10X...amazing tone and versatility! At first I thought it was a bit expensive, but it is worth every penny! I even ran it out to an old stereo to make it as loud as I wanted it to be. Incredible!
The blackstar tvp comes very close to the boss katana.. I've owned both
I think the Mini setting on the Yamaha is supposed to be some sort of Dr. Z amp.
It's not an accoustic simulation. It's for amplification of accoustic guitars.
On Katana that is.
Boss was definitely worth a look. Sounded really good. Yamaha THR10X sounded better than the THR10C but still too small. Boss, Fender and Marshall stood out.

So you would still want pedals in front of your modelling amp, which you bought for all the onboard effects.
Or more to the point you could record a loop but you would not be able to change the sound of anything you played over the top of it.
Hope that makes sense.
This is something I learnt the hard way
Same here, I had to trade my katana 50 for the 100 just because of the fx loop for my beat buddy pedal. Very happy though

I really want a Fender GT40 but the review have not been great. It does sound a bit muted compared to other amps.
Rylan Storm FWIW, I have the 200w version. No problem with any muted sounds.
Thumbs up for "next to the stove or in the bedroom or something"
14:30 whats that song?
edge of desire
You can use pedals with these amps right?
Sure thing!
How could you put a Fender Mustang GT ? It sucks, the Mustang III & IV Blows the GT away. I played both & own a Mustang GT with an upgraded Swamp Thang speaker. Wonderful amp. I also love the Boss Katana 100W combo. Blues On....
vox vx 1 vs vox pathfinder 10. anyone could help?
What would Dagan choose between the Vox and Yamaha models?
Sir Dagan does not choose , he lets the amp choose him.
The jack sparrow of guitar/gear reviews
is the line 6 spider v 120 any good compared to these???
you probably made your decision already but if someone else is thinking about Line 6, DON"T DO IT they just aren't made well and while the features are nice the don't hold up. They're known for overheating and cutting out. Save your money and buy something else ( I have a Line 6 Spider 112 Valve behind me that lasted 3 years before it just started cutting out randomly)
i want them all this is just upsetting
I personally can't stand the CODE amps. They sound too...idk....fuzzy.. I don't know how to describe it.
Flat and compressed. All mid range.
I agree
Curiosity question from all amp users (especially these models): Anyone here use the headphone jacks? If so, is the sound quality improved, diminished, or equivalent to the speaker? Also, I would assume the use of the jack would disengage the speaker, correct? My headphones are solid (Sennheiser PXC 450) and there's a 9 month old in the house who I would prefer to NOT wake from naps. Any thoughts/comments are appreciated.
I don't use one one of these amps but it is a Yamaha and when I plug the headphone jack in it diminishes the sound quality and seems to make it distorted and as if the bass has been turned up. But then I don't use proper music headphones sooo...
Hope that helps
i dont know about headphones. but i was looking into the katana and its got some kind of practice setting thats quite. but still sound like an amp would cranked.pretty cool feature. so you don't drive people crazy practicing
11:25 sheep in the background or dude saying “yeah”?
Have you guys heard of the Vault Fury 30?
Not a bad review, BUT what about controls? Some of us may want to use amps live, and you failed to mention footswitches, control capabilities etc. Serious fail, in my opinion.
What guitar is this?
