    I think they sound freaking fantastic. I get that the CZcams echo chamber is stuck on the "hate Gibson" feedback loop, but I think everyone who says these are overpriced are suffering from that malady. I am not saying that Gibson doesn't charge a whole helluva premium for most of their products, but at the price point and considering what's on offer from their competition it's fairly reasonable in my book. At any rate I will let the chorus of poor musicians who think everything ought to be affordable for them no matter how they manage their own personal finances to resume it's continuing cacophony of belly aching.

      Never sounded better. An Digital Gibson/Moog called Lab series, this 2x12 was lab7.

    Nice Southern Rock feel on that intro. Very nice!
    The amps sound majestic to my ears, but do they offer anything their, lower priced, competition, offers? I don't think so.
    We live in an age of an abundance of quality gear and relatively low prices, so why would I drop a big wad of cash on a reincarnation of the Falcon? Well I wouldn't, some might, but I wouldn't. These amps will become a mainstay in many studios, but for gigging musicians trying to put food on the table by playing live, these amps miss the mark by a sizeable margin.

    I own both tube amps and modeling amps, as well as the most traditional speaker cabinets with Celestion Vintage 30s inside. However, I must say that this whole debate is completely irrelevant because modeling and solid-state technology are the future.
    Modeling or solid-state amps, even the inventor of Dumble himself (a bit before his death), when asked if transistor amps would ever be as good as tube amps, responded that the question wasn't if it would happen but when. He emphasized that one day someone would make a transistor amp that sounds exactly like a tube amp, and given the way the market is evolving, I believe we are not far from that point.
    Even without considering that, basic modeling today is already excellent. Take anyone and blindfold them, and no one can tell the difference. Unfortunately, musicians often rely too much on their eyes instead of their ears. ( Most by the way jackoff way to much on gear all the time ( wether it’s new or vintage it’s the same ) instead of really playing guitar but that another debate)
    In any case, for guitar, the trend is to build things that are always lighter, better, more practical, simpler, and more intuitive.
    Even the country of origin hardly matters anymore because you can find quality in Europe, Asia, and even China, which wasn't known for quality products, is now able to copy or even surpass some American brands. We must recognize that American quality has significantly degraded, while Japanese quality remains stable at a high level.
    So, things are changing for the better.

    You can have class A with any number of tubes. It can also be either single ended or push pull and still class A. Only limitation would be that you can't do AB or B with less than two. Well technically you can but it wouldn't serve its purpose as an audio amplifier.

    Can you guys do un-edited versions of your videos so we can watch them after 10.00pm and our kids won't see them 😬, then we can hear what you say when we get the bleeped out parts with the coloured vertical stripes 😂. You fellas are sounding better each time I hear you play together. And I was starting to hear a bit of ZZ Top coming out when Pete was playing the 335

    Apparently the internal build quality for the price is horrible. I've yet to see a review channel assess the build, though. I see them assess the quality of "cheap" stuff, but not so much the pricey stuff. Just a reminder it's all business, folks.

      the problem is the guitar review channels don't know what they're looking at inside an amp, and the idea of opening it up to have a look probably doesn't even occur to them. as long as they get their cheque from Mesa to say it's a good amp, that's all they care about 🤷🏽‍♀ and I mean they don't sound bad.... so they think they are giving an honest review

      Not at all similar in any way. The original would probably be cheaper if you can find one and it would suit your needs much better once properly sorted out.

    12:45 You can have a Class-A push-pull amp. The Vox AC-15 and AC-30 are Class-A Push-Pull amps. And Crate did it with the Palomino V16 and V32. My Crate V16 uses two EL84's, but I use the Russian "vibration proof" NOS industrial tube EL84 equivalents. They have 8 volt heaters, but the standard 6.3 volt supply is hasn't failed me yet for several years now. At least on this amp. I can think of amps I wouldn't try the mismatch supply.

    • @JimijaymesProductions
      @JimijaymesProductions Před 3 měsíci +1

      No they aren't the vox style power section that many people use is class a/b cathode biased push pull, it was just mislabelled as class A as marketing in the 90s, its been debunked 1000s of times.

    • @MikeDavies621
      @MikeDavies621 Před 3 měsíci

      +1. I know nothing about the Vox but you can defo have Class A push-pull amplification. The class of the biassing and the configuration of the output stages are two different things.

    • @JimijaymesProductions
      @JimijaymesProductions Před 3 měsíci

      @@MikeDavies621 Yes you can but the whole point of a push pull configuration is to increase efficiency and true class A isn't good at this because its passing 100% of the signal 100% for each tube. The only class A multiple tube guitar amps I am aware of are parallel single ended like the laney lionheart. Most vox and vox derivative power sections (matchless, bad cat, tophat, etc etc) are class ab push/pull configuration, usually cathode biased high enough that most of the signal is in both tubes most of the time, so at under certain conditions (low volumes) they may run class A but not always. So while theoretically you can have class a push pull easily, not many guitar amps are designed like this because if you were going to bother putting in a phase splitter you may as well increase efficiency by making it class a/b.

    These sound pretty good, but I think even 20 watts wouldn’t have enough headroom for me. I play clean a lot of the time, and I don’t mean “clean-ish”, although that’s great for blues and some rock, but if I’m playing country or jazz I need it really clean, with enough volume to get ovet the drummer. Back in the late ‘60s, when I played pretty much rock and blues, I had a blackface Fender Bandmaster that I ran cranked, and controlled the amount of drive with the guitar. At forty watts it was just barely enough, and when I switched to a Fender Twin around 1970, I lost the ability to get crunchy at any level short of deafening. But a Twin Reverb is my idea of a great clean amp, only I can’t lift one anymore! These days I use channel-switching amps-I have a Quilter, which is a great little amp, but it won’t go as loud as a Twin. Luckily I don’t need it to!
