    In this video Daniel and Mick are discussing the practicalities and benefits of using lower power guitar amps to get great tones at real-world volumes.
    We’re also responding to a question we asked regularly: ‘Can you use some normal/smaller amps to get good sounds, instead of the really powerful/expensive/boutique stuff?’
    Yes we can!
    So we’re taking a Fender Blues Junior - probably the most widely used 15-watt valve amp in the world - and a 5-watt Marshall Class 5 as the basis for our tones, on the end of a bunch of common effect types.
    The pedals we’re using today:

    All pedals are going into both amps (yes, wet/dry would sound fantastic too).

  • @davidjohnsen3245
    @davidjohnsen3245 Před 7 lety +1

    What I love about really small amps is that you can crank them all the way up on the clean channel, and get awesome old overdrive without crazy volime. I did this with a Gibson Les Paul Studio and some 5 watt Marshall tube combo at my school, and it sounded brilliant.

  • @joshaggie02
    @joshaggie02 Před 8 lety +4

    Hey guys.....love the show! This video in particular resonates with me as I have played guitar for 20 years, but only at home. I have continually downsized my amps over the years to try to get a better tone at a more reasonable volume. I had a 40 watt Mesa DC-5, then 22 watt Fender Deluxe Reverb, and finally a 15 watt Fender Blues Jr. Now I am looking in the 5 watt or less market and would love for you guys to consider doing a show on them. I am leaning towards the Vox AC4-1 12. Keep up the great work!!!

  • @BasementShopGuy
    @BasementShopGuy Před 8 lety +5

    One of the best videos for great tone. I especially liked this one guys. Mick is win FIRE lately - those tasty passages are just killer!! But then Dan comes in with the Les Paul and throws down some tough-ass tones as well. Glad I have one of each (Strat, Tele, Paul).

  • @TheLawdaug

    Great video... You got some massive tones from those tiny amps. For people who say its impossible tiny amps give "boxy" tone.......just watch this video!
    I rarely gig anymore and mostly use a small amp at home and at small party's.
    This was very instructional. I have new found respect for a compressor too!

  • @lionsdenblog
    @lionsdenblog Před 5 lety +3

    I first saw this video ages ago and thought, “Well, that’s nice and all, but I don’t see me ever using two amps in my (acoustic) trio. Now, I’m about to embark on adding some electric to the group and had a friend (and local guitar tech) build me a 5 watt tube amp (a Fender Champ clone) and it... is... AWESOME! The Marshall Class 5 is my next choice because it’s such a different sound. It won’t happen soon because of finances (the amp itself, extra microphone, and accessories). Is there another amp I should be looking at to pair with my tweed “Champ”?

  • @stoneleighrd
    @stoneleighrd Před 8 lety +7

    Recently added a Marshall class 5 to my Blues Junior as I was completely inspired by your Wet / Dry video, I've got all the compression and overdrive to both with the wet signal through the Fender to quote Dan it's a "killer sound"!. Thanks again for lots more ideas, particularly handling the bottom end.

  • @chriscollins8019
    @chriscollins8019 Před 7 lety

    I wanted/needed a new, quieter amp for a home-away-from-home, and I really tried to buy a Morgan AC20 or MVP23, but there is a flavor there, and perhaps it is the class A thing, that just doesn't sit right with my ears. I walked away from about 3 hours of playing those amps spread over two days, stopped at another store and bought a Blues Junior after about 10 minutes. And I left with a huge smile on my face. I have "better" amps at home, but the Blues Junior was the first valve amp that I bought and sold years ago, and it still sounds great. Thanks for showcasing a broad array of products and helping us get the most out of them. (Now, to purchase another Tube Screamer, like the old one that I sold years ago...)

  • @bsdaldal
    @bsdaldal Před 8 lety

    Excellent episode as always... In my experience i found out that if you pass the signal through an overdrive or a boost pedal which has a voltage doubler (example: keeley katana boost) it makes a great difference as it enhances and widens your original signal, giving your sound a huge headroom. You can try it for your bedroom volume too. Works wonders!

  • @TsiratiugZ
    @TsiratiugZ Před 8 lety +4

    Mick, I'm sure you've mentioned this numerous times in the past, but what pickups do you have in that Strat? I'm super-envious of your tone.

    • @martinchalot4641
      @martinchalot4641 Před 8 lety

      i'm pretty sure mick uses a stock american strat !

    • @TsiratiugZ
      @TsiratiugZ Před 8 lety

      Interesting as I also have a stock American, but it doesn't sound quite as nice. It's not bad, mind you, but Mick's Strat seems to have that extra "something" that mine lacks.

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  Před 8 lety +14

      +TsiratiugZ Hello! It's an American Vintage '62, around 15 years old or so. The pickups are Seymour Duncan Antiquity and the saddles are KTS Titanium. Otherwise its stock. I think the pickups Fender is using in the current American Vintage guitars are as good as anything by anyone.
      After that, my personal opinion is that it HAS to be nitrocellulose, have a vintage vibrato with a quality steel block. Light body, biggish neck. That's where Strats sound the best to my ears. And then I'll play a Squier that I love... Go figure as the Americans say. :0)

  • @mrtambourineman6107
    @mrtambourineman6107 Před 7 lety +3

    I want a Vox. Full stop. D'you recon an AC15-C1 or AC4-C1 for ocasional gigging but mainly home use in a flat....

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  Před 7 lety +7

      +Marc Piechowicz Depends on the gigging situation Mark. The AC4 is a very specific thing - great fun and good sounding, but they're very definitely in 'small amp' territory. Bit boxy and small sounding (which might be exactly what you want).
      However, the 15 is the better all rounder we think. Sounds bigger and fuller. You can turn it down for the flat, and it'll shout loud enough for most small band situations.
      You need to play them both really - you may prefer one instantly. Cheers!

    • @willcasada
      @willcasada Před 7 lety +1

      Marc Piechowicz Try out the ac10c1 as well! Great sounding amp, clean and compressed.

    • @mrtambourineman6107
      @mrtambourineman6107 Před 7 lety

      Will Casada I looked at the ac10 but it had no amp/preamp volume if I remember so no good. The ac15 has both so hopefully can crank out a bit of crunch at lower volume for home use. I don't like near a decent shop so I can't try ( Cornwall )

    Daniel & Mick, if you're doing something more with budget amps in the future you should REALLY look into the new Fender Bassbreaker amps. I got a 007 and it's absolutely sensational. I stilll love my Carr Rambler, but in many ways the Bassbreaker matches it- Even puts it to shame, especially taking the price into consideration. It's crazy much value. Just a tip.

    You guys never use a Carvin V16 when you use little amps. It sounds totally different than the other Carvin amps in the Vintage Series. By "different" I mean "Way Better"! It is USA made, and has tone far beyond a Blues Jr for around the same price. It made me slap my Mesa and Marshall in the face!

    • @antonr.2101

      You mean Crate V16? (Palomino) If you do, BIG THUMBS UP! Ive been gigging with my V16 for about 2 years now and that little fella KILLS! Swapped out the v2 preamp for a 12AU7 which cut out a lot of gain and turned it beautifully clean. I crank the master up and hit it with an OCD, Keeley BD2 or Fulltone '70 for dirt...sounds fabulous every night!

    Love your videos...couple of boys having fun, but skilled and knowledgeable at the same time! I would personally love it if you guys would do a video with the new Fender Bassbreaker line. I've heard good things and tried a couple with good impressions. Thanks for the great work!

      I own the BJR, Bassbreaker 007, Marshall Class 5 (and about 10 other tube amps).... After extensive testing of the Bassbreaker 15 against the Bassbreaker 007, I prefer the 007 (and the Class 5). The 007 gets a better breakup whereby the Bassbreaker 15 just seems a bit sterile... unless you really need the extra volume...
      I agree, the Bassbreaker and a BJR, and you can cover 99% of tones you may want. Bassbreaker is that good. But I am not ever getting rid of my Class 5.

    • @iananderson12796

    I have a lacquered tweed BJ with Jensen speaker. Playing it with fender strat with 69 custom shop pickups and it sounds amazing. Playing it on gigs in smaller clubs with volume at 6 and master at 3.5 and its loud enough. Could crank it much much more. To me it's the best Amp for smaller gigs up to 100 people venues. Need to try master on 12 though, since many people say the Amp sounds best then.

    Lately, for both rehearsal and gigging, I've been using a trusty Vox AC4. It can fit in your suitcase for flying, and with the right sack, you can even ride it around on a normal bike. It's the simplest thing, takes two seconds to set up and adjust, and it has a great little sound to it, when it starts compressing. Maybe one day, I'll add another 4/5-watt amp for stereo, but as it is, I'm using that much more than my 80's Boogie or Fender Deluxe

      A hunt? They’re all over Reverb in head and cabinet versions with special editions available.
      These amps are not hard to find. Right this second there are 35 on Reverb between 380 for a normal combo and 1100 for one of the limited brown/burgundy head/cabs with a pinup girl printed on the grill.

  • @BathedInMilk
    @BathedInMilk Před 8 lety

    Oh fellas thank you thank you thank you! Been wanting a video like this for years! My Class 5 has been gigged all over the country either on its own, miced up or through my 2x12 and I love it. Such an underrated amp. Following your advice I have an AC10 on the way to pair with it and cannot wait.
    I'm not a big pedal man but I run a reverb/delay and a Rangemaster clone into mine and the tone is to die for. Thanks so much for popularising small amp usage and hopefully now I won't get sneered at by other guitarists so much when I rock up with my mini-Marshall (before they hear it) I learned a load from this and look forward to experimenting. Made my day. Excellent, excellent stuff.

    Hi Guys, great show and your choice of small amps is brilliant! For those of us who can't afford 2 amps, or it just isn't feasible to have or gig with 2 amps, we have to choose one that is most versatile. This is why a transistor amp with a tube overdrive may be the most versatile option. This accomodates electric and acoustic guitars. I am anxiously awaiting when you have a show that features this as an option. :-) Thanks guys!

  • @tor3603

    Loving the tones here, gents. I am, and always have been, a low-watt player - a Budda Verbmaster 18W was my mainstay until I finally had a custom amp built by Mike Whitney - 15W of just incredible goodness. I get the tone I want, the sound guy/gal gets the control he/she wants.

    @lance134679 Před 8 lety

    Great small amp demo. Since you're likely putting it through a PA and have a monitor at most gigs, you don't really need a loud amp. For recording, it's a no brainer - small amps are perfect for getting guitar tracks that will sit nicely in a mix - nice mid range, not too much low end to filter out.
    I also use the Sennheiser 906 amp microphone. I think it's a bit better sounding than a 57 (a bit fuller, not such a ridiculous presence hump) and its shape allows me to hang it by the microphone cable in front of the speaker with no need of a stand. Definitely one of the best purchases I've made in the last couple of years. Thank for another great show.

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  Před 8 lety +1

      +Lawrence Gillespie Nice one Lawrence. Do try the 906 about an inch and a half off the grille. Just a little bit more space in the tone... Thanks for watching.

    • @lance134679

  • @MrJoeyBoombotz
    @MrJoeyBoombotz Před 8 lety

    In the 70s I used to play a 50 watt pro reverb fender amp with 2x12 speakers open back with a strat and leave it as far off stage as I could angled out 35 to 45 degrees in the direction of the crowd using a 25 ft guitar cable and crank it up to 7 or 8 on some songs. That was more fun and the tone more delicious than anything I have ever experienced. The only pedal I used was a Wah, and sparingly. The small amps today sound too boxy to me, even the Fender Deluxe Reverb and I'm told that is because of the cheap capacitors used and not the size of cabinet or the speakers. I wish I could find out more about that. Having 2, 5watt small amps would be a viable option for the 'weak of back' but they would have to not have that boxy sound that comes with small amps typically.

    Hello Dan and Mick, I want to thank you for the awesome work, I've been learning lots and lots since I started watching your videos.
    I only recently watched the video on the graphic EQ, and was wondering if you guys might do something like it, but instead exploring parametric EQ pedals? There are some pedals that focus on that type of equalization, and it's a different approach to EQ.
    Thanks again for the great videos, you guys rock.

    Friday is always better with the tone treat we get from you guys.
    Nice you covered small amps. I decided longtime ago to use 50 watts combo amps only and forget about the big stack amps.
    Please do a vibe only show. Seems lots of new modern vibes have comeout recently that "beat" the original Uni-Vibe. Suggested contenders: Rockett Pedal vibe, Lovepedal VIbronaut, Fox Aquavibe, Drybell, and more.
    Phaser use for lead tones is also a great show idea. Exclude the MXR90 that pedal is already known and now there are modern phasers like the Empress Phaser, Blackouteffectors,Pigtronix,Chase Bliss.
    Rock on and prosper.
