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
My Favorite was the Orange TH30
agreed
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 canât match the TH30 though.
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.
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 theyâre 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
And no "Don't forget to hit like and subscribe!"..........
Like we don't know how to subscribe and like a video if we wanted to.
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.
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
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.
In order overall: Dark Terror, TH30, EVH, Egnater, Tiny Terror, Marshall JVM, Fender Bassbreaker.
This is how is done! No nonsense, no bullshit intros.
Back to back comparisons that make it easy to hear each amp.
You the man! Bravo.
Awesome video, I love how you organized the different clips for a direct sound comparison. Thank you!
That TH30 sounds killer!
It's also twice the price and power. Great amp probably.
it sounds louder, weird
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 wasnât what I was looking for.
@@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.
Pretty much the best amp comparison video on youtube.
Dark Terror, Orange TH30, EVH, Tiny Terror, Egnater, Marshall JVM, Fender Bassbreaker. All in that order
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.
The Egnater shocked me with how good it sounded. The Tiny terror was pretty awesome too. But thatâs just me.
Iâd have to say either the Egnater or the TH30. But that Dark Terror is a surprisingly versatile amp.
This was a great shootout! Thanks for taking the time to edit all those clips together. Must have taken ages! Much appreciated!
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!
This is EXACTLY what a comparison should be. Thank you for helping me make my mind up.
I wasn't expected that dark terror's clean sounds so smooooth. Thanks for the great video
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 ⊠itâs just awesome⊠my Marshall and Fender amps have gotten zero use since I bought the Egnator â€ïžđ
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!
This is an exemplary demo video... Never seem such a comprehensive demo... Thanks a lot
Never seen a better and more concise shootout. Thank you.
Want to say great job on doing great quality demos
Thanks, it really does help đ
Interesting demo..........the Orange Dark Terror seems to catch my ear the most. Thanks for making this comparison......
The way you did this shootout was absolutely brilliant.
Thanks mate, appreciate it đ
By far the best amp shootout videa on CZcams!! Nailed it Bro
Orange are killing it with those amps all of them sound amazing followed by the evh
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.
really appreciated the knob turning, that's what we want, the range of tones ! thanks !
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.
Extremely useful, well-done, and thorough video, wow! Subscribed! đžđ¶
Great demo! Really enjoyed the clarity and tonal depth in all the orange amps and the evh.
Finally ! the comparaison i wanted !
great work !!!
miss the prs mt15
Congrats man, one of the best amp shootouts Iâve ever seen. I love how you present it and straight to the point.
Thanks mate đTakes a while but I prefer it.
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!
Thanks for the great demo. Going to listen a few times before i can decide on which i like best.
If only every shootout/comparison videos were done like this. Well done. And thank you!
best amp demo I've seen in a long time. good job bro. SUBBED
I'm really feeling that Dark Terror. It seemed to have a lot of balance on everything to me.
Kind of ridiculous that the Tweaker smoked em all in every category. Amazing.
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 đ Although I like the EVHâs darker clean sound. Great video!
The best guitar amp comparison on YT!!
Great way to test products. Itâs immediate which gives you the best comparison. Thanks!
Finally a great comparison video , amazing work man.
This was EXTREMELY helpful.....I just happen to be looking at 3 of these trying to decide.....so this was perfect.
Cheers đ
Honestly, I could make any of these amps work well for me. Very thorough work, great demo!
Best shootout I've ever seen! Thank you.
I wish more VS videos were like this, direct side by side using 10 second short riffs - really helps the ear measure the differences !!!
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
I like the Dark Terror. BTW great video, this is how a great demo should be done!
Very helpful video. I have the Orange Rocker 32 tube combo and am getting the Blackstart HT 20 tube head and 2x12 HT cab and that will cover anything I want to do. Thanks for sharing the video.
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 đ
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.
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
You are doing a great job with your videos! Best tests out there!
one of the best comparisons for clean. Thanks!
Iâm really surprised by the Tweaker. The TH30 is my favorite amp in the video, but that Tweaker isnât far behind it
And the price difference makes me more drawn to the tweeker.
Fantastic demo, this is a proper comparison! For me the Dark Terror was best overall, followed by the Egnator and then TH30.
No sales here. No one telling me which one is the best. One of the best demo video's I've seen. Thank you
Iâm loving the Egnater and the Dark Terror. Loved going over Bruceâs 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.
Great video! Straight and to the point! Loved the 5150.
Great comparsion. Thanks. EVH & Egnater đ€
Great comparison video. Thank you for making it !
I love that you're demoing these amps with emo songs from the 2000s lol
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!
Dont have a set up near the toilet, so watching amp videos
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.
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
Thank you! Very good demonstration!
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!
Good comparison. And leaves me wanting a TH30 where I hadn't before. Damn that thing just sounds good.
I like the TH30 the best but Iâm jaded being I own one. Did a lot of testing of amps before I purchased it. Beauty of it is itâs 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 youâll get the best tones out of it. Again, Iâm jaded. I play a Les Paul and an SG straight without any effects. Amp has an effects loop too. Great video.
excellent video documentation of all those amps. Bravo!
Great review bro! I like that Egnater... Never heard of them before this but it sounded amazing all around! Now I wan't one, Lol! Thanks for the great review bro!
I had 1 of the Tweaker 15 heads,they have 2 6V6 power tubes and 3_12ax7 preamp tubes if I remember correctly..it sounded awesome..I did read somewhere that regular 6L6's can be used so I tried some JJ's and they were taller but man that little Tweaker 15 screamed..the single notes were round and fat and the chords thick and cutting..now using the 6L6's might have taken it toll eventually on the transformers but the short time I ran them it was awesome.
I own and Egnater Tweaker 15 and it is worth every penny. Absolutely love it
Love your shootouts, Toby!
Looking forward to seing your channel reach the first 10,000 sub mark!
Thanks mate, baby steps đ
Really great demo between this amps! you got a new sub!
Orange sounds real good. Awesome comparison how the amps were split up into various sound clips.
Excellent amp review!
The greatest review for sure. Extremely informative. Thanks a lot.
Cheers mate đ
Gratitude to you on a great video. TH30 did it for me.
Wonderful soundcheck!
EVH 5150 LBX III
for me!
I have the same cab so that made this a great comparison, i love the sound of all of these amps and I am a marshall guy for life but that orange th30 is a little monster. All of the cleans sounded the same to me tho, the evh a bit thinner than the rest, but overall the same.
What an awesome video. Well freakin done!
Invaluable, man. Ironically during quarantine this kind of resource is available. Peace
The Egnater sounds good across the board. Excellent demo.
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.
Excellent demo! Thank you
Love this video. You got yourself a new subscriber, sir.
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.
I have a tweaker and an or15 that blend. Super flexible tones, especially out of the Egnaterâ
My favourites are Orange dark terror and Orange TH30, dayum love the sound of those
the clean sample of the th30 sounded massive and filled my studio monitors,
TH30 sounded the best and most adjustable in tone to my ears. Although I wonder if this was helped by playing through your Orange speaker cab, which I assume are purpose built for this unit. Well done for sharing this with us, superb demo. I wonder how they compare in price? Iâve got a humble Boss Katana 50 and I think they are superb amps for the money, but I would like to get a small valve amp one day. I love Mesa Boogie amps for their cleans.
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!
Great review! Liked the oranges and Egnater.
Lol, hawthorne heights... Great demo đ
