After watching this video, I bought the amp and 18 years after having quit playing, I started playing again.

First thing….swap out the 2 power resistors and 2 diodes and mount them off the board, or you WILL have a cooked board.

Ive owned a super sonic for years. Best advise to anyone looking at this amp is to swap the eminence speaker to a vintage 30 like the 60 had. The stock speaker is rubbish

With pedals the blues junior just farts out too much for my liking and loses he dynamics

I really like the thinline look but I just can't get along with the Pro II's deep C neck and narrow-tall frets, especially at the almost $2000 price tag. I'd like to see one with a neck like the Ultra or Performer.

I'm a bit late to the party, but did you change the speaker? I've got 70/80's in my amp and don't really like the tone either.

I played the shell pink versions of the strat and tele thinline last week. I thought it sounded a little more "open", but not much. They do look awesome, though!

You answered every question I had. Just needed to finish the video! Very informative video!

I love these things. Super sexy looks. The thinline weight reduction is offset by the use of ash instead of alder. (Or, the weight increase of the ash is offset by cutting a hole in it.) I also don't notice a big change in tone, but players better and more experienced than me may very well. The transparent finish is pretty cool. Gotta like seeing that ash grain through the paint. Basically, it's a premium option for the American Professional II, with the thinline ash being $50 more than the roasted pine bodies and $150 more than the alder. But it's the same everything else as the American Professional II model.

Lovely Strat 😎 what's the fretboard radius?

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jack also happy independence day to the 9uni5rd United states also Canada day is Monday where I live in ❤😊

I sold those 1970's 345's brand new. I am blessed to have a 1973 ES-355 that I got as NOS in 1974. And you gotta have the stereo and varitone; otherwise it's just a fancy 335! VERY nice playing, brother!! Playing a Stereo Gibson through two amps, is just outrageous! What a loud, punchy sound! With you, on the #2 into the #1 for boost! Yeh. You gotta have the rhythm switch on a Jazzmaster. Sorry. I'm an old guy. Been playing 62+ years. BTW: Using a Showman, you don't get the out-of-phase using the two channels. And I am in the process of finally setting up a 1967 Bandmaster into a 1X12 Mesa cab, to match my '62 Bandmaster, also into a 1X12 Mesa cab. Got all the parts; just need to feel better (I'm 76) and clean up that Bandmaster and get-a-goin with this project for my 355 STEREO! Those big pot cans were shielding. All of my innards quit working right and I had Gibson Repair and Restoration put in new stuff. Sounds incredible. Playing live into two Deluxe Reverbs would be quite snappy ... and I have FIVE Y cables and I don't play out anymore! Thanks for deep diving into these guitars, guys! And Jesus saves and time is running out!! God bless.

Didn't the guy that designed the Super Sonic go to Supro?

TRY THE JOURNEY TEK EP001K PICKUP SYSTEM. TRUST ME!!! They cost only $50 ( US ) and IMHO, are the purest sounding in the industry. MAKE SURE YOUR BRIDGE PLATE IS WIDE ENOUGH ( front to back ) BENEATH THE SADDLE FOR THESE 3 TRANSDUCERS TO FIT BEFORE BUYING THE JOURNEY TEK. Some bridge plates are too narrow underneath the saddle and both Journey Tek and K&K ( the K&K Pure Mini is nearly identical, but costs $150 now ) state that in order to get the best signal & tone, these transducers MUST be glued directly beneath the saddle on the bridge plate. Please see my other lengthy comment below for great advice on the best way to set up your Boss Acoustic Singer Pro or Live amp. Because I have yet to see anyone else on youtube giving the advice that I did in my other comment below.

Pedals are a form of camouflage. A lot of money in pedals. Maybe more so than in guitars. Follow the money.

My main annoyance is all the pedals in gear demos. Here's Gregory Kochery with a $3,000 amp and a $10,000 guitar going into some shitty preamp pedal for a garbage gain sound. Just fucking distort the amp.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR VALUABLE "MUST KNOW" TIPS FOR ANY NEW OWNER OF ONE OF THESE AMAZING BOSS ACOUSTIC SINGER PRO/LIVE AMPS, IN ORDER TO GET THE PUREST SOUND!!! NO ONE ON KZbin IS DESCRIBING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOR THESE AMAZING BOSS ACOUSTIC AMPS, BUT I AM, RIGHT HERE & NOW!!! >>>>>> ( I've been playing/singing/performing for decades & just bought the Boss Acoustic Singer Pro for myself recently. FABULOUS amps!!! ) The tips I'm about to share here, are applicable to any of the other higher quality acoustic amps as well ( such as the Fishman Loudbox ....but I MUCH prefer the BOSS Acoustic Pro Singer. Boss has been making killer professional music gear for as long as I can remember. ) THE SENNHEISER E835 MICROPHONE WORKS BEST FOR VOCALS WITH THESE BOSS AMPS. The tried & true Shure SM58 may sound too muddy, forcing you to use the "pad" button. So buy yourself the Sennheiser e835 to start, or as soon as possible. When you first start out: SET BOTH VOLUME KNOBS FOR GUITAR & VOCAL MIC TO ZERO. Next, right off the bat, set your MASTER VOLUME anywhere between 11 and 12 o'clock. TRUST ME ON THIS. ( You can adjust your master volume later. ) The dedicated "volume" knobs for the guitar ( or other acoustic instrument such as a mandolin or fiddle.....these amps are made for ALL stringed acoustic instruments ) and vocals SHOULD be treated as "GAIN" controls. ( On some of the other acoustic amps, they are indeed labeled as "Gain". ) Begin adjusting your channel volume/"gain" knobs for both instrument and vocals in small increments, because you already have the master volume set at 11 to 12 o'clock. ( set your EQ knobs at "neutral" which is also 12 o'clock to start.......worry about your EQ later, as we will discuss later on here ) These volume/"gain" controls BOOST the signal of your pickup system in your instrument. If you raise these "gain" controls too high, and have your master volume even "decreased", you WILL have problems with muddy, boomy sound, including possible feedback. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU ARE OVER-USING THE "GAIN" CONTROLS. Far too many guitarists who don't know any better are using these "gain" and master volume knobs ASS BACKWARDS. Please keep reading if ya want the best sound: I bought & installed the Journey Tek EP001K passive pickup system in all 4 of my Hsienmo acoustic guitars, and even though they are passive, they still produce a powerful signal......they also happen to produce the purest acoustic tone in the industry.......for ONLY $50.00 !!! Use the "gain" ( channel volume ) controls SPARINGLY, to get JUST THE RIGHT NATURAL WARM SOUND, and then you can always increase ( or decrease ) your master volume. If you raise the channel volume/"gain" to the point it starts sounding boomy, BACK IT OFF SLIGHTLY. You now have your gain set to the max & best position. THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY TO USE THESE AMPS!!! When this is done properly as described, you shouldn't even need to use the "pad" buttons OR your feedback controls, even at higher volumes. ( If you're doing everything properly, and you're getting feedback, try moving AWAY from the amp BEFORE using "pad" buttons and/or feedback controls as a last resort. I am currently using both my vocal and guitar channel volume/"gain" knobs at only the 9 o'clock position, and I still have tons of volume/headroom when using my master volume for "overall volume". TRY IT. THIS WORKS!!! ALSO>>>> IMPORTANT FOR GUITARISTS: DISABLE THE TWEETER SPEAKER FOR ACOUSTIC GUITARS (because it WILL sound MUCH too harsh & tinny......the tweeter is made in these amps for other acoustic instruments such as mandolin, fiddle, banjo, etc ) If you try using the tweeter for guitar, you will be forced to decrease your treble control in the EQ section SO much for your guitar, that now you're losing ALL of your sweet high frequencies, and your guitar will have overpowering mid's. So shut that tweeter OFF, and LEAVE IT OFF. Lastly: because all acoustic guitars are different, ( even if the same pickup system is used among all of your acoustic guitars ), don't be afraid of trying the various "resonance" settings in this amazing amp. Counting the default, you have FOUR of these resonance settings, and each makes quite a difference. ALL are totally usable, depending on each guitar. ALSO: Don't be afraid to CUT any of your 3 EQ knobs ( bass, mid, treble ) BELOW the neutral ( 12 o'clock ) position if necessary! That's what they are made for! Example: one of my fine Hsienmo acoustic's likes ALL THREE EQ knobs set at only the 11 o'clock positions, while my other Hsienmo acoustic's likes all 3 EQ knobs set anywhere between neutral ( 12 o'clock ) to close to 1 o'clock. STAY ROCK SOLID WITH MY INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE FOR USING THE "GAIN" KNOBS & MASTER VOLUME. As for the 4 different resonance settings ( including "default" ) and your EQ section.......take your time & experiment with each guitar. Your different acoustic guitars WILL TELL YOU what they like the best. Remember, each guitar IS different. WRITE ALL OF YOUR BEST SETTINGS DOWN FOR EACH GUITAR, AND USE THOSE EXACT SETTINGS EVERY TIME!!! Using ALL of the above information, I was able to get THE SWEETEST, MOST LUSH & NATURAL ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOUNDS I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN AMPLIFICATION OF ACOUSTIC GUITARS!!! ..........One last tip: If you're going for PURE acoustic sound with as little to no effects as possible, use your reverb VERY sparingly ( or not at all ), and the #1 Chorus at a bare minimum. Depending on the guitar, you may find that using the #1 Chorus ( there are 2 choices of chorus in these amps ) at a bare minimum MAY actually make that certain guitar sound even better vs NO chorus at all. For other LUSH acoustic sounds, the #1 chorus in this amp IS KILLER!!! I use it in various settings for different songs. The #2 Chorus is good for certain sounds. By the way: these amazing Boss amps are SO sensitive & responsive, different guitar picks of various thickness & stiffness actually make a difference in your tone as well !!! The very best guitar picks I have ever used are the Jim Dunlop TRUE TONE picks. They come in various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, and you can even get them in smooth or the KILLER textured finishes for ultimate grip, and the pick will NEVER rotate or spin while playing. TRY THEM !!! The Jim Dunlop True Tone picks are the ONLY picks I use anymore!!! I just remembered ONE MORE IMPORTANT TIP: BUY THE BOSS GA-FC FOOT CONTROLLER FOR THESE BOSS ACOUSTIC AMPS NOW, OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! It has SIX buttons. When used in conjunction with the included foot switch with only 2 buttons, that ONLY controls the looper & harmonies, you will now have ultimate control over this amazing amp!!! If you buy the Boss GA-FC foot controller, BE SURE TO tell your salesman that it will be used for the Boss Acoustic Singer Pro or LIVE amp.......because he/she MUST give you the proper stick-on labels to install on the face plate of the foot controller. Without these stickers, the GA-FC controller is set up for the KATANA amps, so you MUST use those different stick-on labels !!! This amp is FAR MORE VERSATILE when using the Boss GA-FC foot controller in conjunction with the smaller included foot switch. The GA-FC foot controller enables you to control ALL of the effects for your guitar AND vocals, plus you'll have a MUTE button too!!! Again: the smaller included foot switch will only control the looper & harmonies, with OR without the Boss GA-FC foot controller. I would love to hear from anyone here in this comment who tries my above advice!!! Please post your response here. YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS AMP.........TRUST ME!!!

Hey my down-eastah brutha (from north of me 😏). I have Thinline Tele knockoff, and it’s ok. And I love the F holes in my 335 and my Gretch. But an F-hole in a Strat just goes against SOMEthing for me. And if it’s not super lightweight? I’ve just had a had time finding them attractive. Just my 2cents, as little as it’s worth 🤷‍♂️🤘🏻

personally: i think it sounds different to a regular strat, it could be cause it's set up floating and i have five springs... you could probs get the same effect just putting an sss configuration into hsh. you get the spring and all the reflections from under the pickups... this is what it sounds like to me hahah! cool, man!

Love this! @Jack Fossett You're great. Never disappointed with your videos! How about a Supro Delta King 12 v. Fender Blues Deluxe shootout?

Mike Fuller went on a rant complaining about the George Floyd rioting! He was boycotted because of that. His pedals never lost the favourability because of performance! I have one and think it is the cat's meow!

F hole on a tele - ok, on a strat - no thanks. Thanks for posting the video.

Great review

I'm loving on my new for me Fender American Professional Tele. I love the V- mod pups and Rosewood neck. I just don't want to put it down. Love my Strat too. No thinlines though, but it looks cool and looking good is important!

Sonically, I find Gretsches, whether with dynasonics or Trons, more comparable to Strats than Tele or Les Pauls. Like Strats, they have a mids scooped, quacky sound that lends itself really well to rhythm strumming and funky styles. 👍🏻

I own one of these from the 90’s. it’s a POS. sure you can replace all the components but why not just buy a real amp. I use as a backup if everything else breaks

Fantastic video, I'm a bass player, but my favourite electric guitar is an epiphone casino

Thanks, cool overview! Not for me but that Neck + Bridge option is seriously FAB! I tried it on both the Ultra & Pro II Rosewood board Strats and it is perfect for me for a lot of chordal stuff . . . think cross picking thru a Leslie or Johnny Marr arpeggios etc. Just adds a cool new facet to the Strat experience.

Guitar player who trash other guitar players and musicians display personality traits which are best suited for a solo career if any at all

I do feel they should have designed a mini version of the same headstock.

I’ve read comments they are headstock heavy???? I have the Bob Weir Deluxe and love it, it is. a heavy guitar. I’m looking for a hollow body next and really like these Mini DC’s.

I was bought an epiphone sg in maybe 2005 in a shop clearance for mega cheep as a teenager. My dad asked me what i wanted as it was during a school day so i said "anything but an SG" as i really hated ac/dc. I came back after school and he said "i got exactly what you wanted" really excited by his gift for me. It was this awful SG that i had to pretend to really like for the next few years. Tunners were shit, sounded muddy as fuck, super neck heavy so it was always trying to dive to the floor. I loved my dad so much..... But it broke my heart to hate something so much that he was really proud of helping me with! Lol. Teenage memories!

Fender always throwing something new at the wall to see what sticks. Love the way it sounds...sounds darker, mellower than a strat at least in this vid. $2k is just too much for a strat....waiting for Mexico on this one.

It's interesting I have played Thinline Teles where it has made a decent impact on tone, but I agree it doesn't seem to so much on these strats! I wonder if they take out less material on the strats for some reason?

That pickguard looks like a big slice of salami , otherwise it’s a cool looking and sounding guitar

The Thinline also has an ash body (better than Standard American Pro which uses alder?). Ash adds to the price ($180 for Vintage II 73 versus 57 / 61).

Man, that dark fretboard looks the business

The BJ sounds much better when is cranked

The Supro's drive is horrible!. Nevertheless the clean is beautifull

What kind of strings are used in this video?

Great video. Fun to listen to. 🎉

Mine is my Hamer Artist, Dr. Z Route 66 and JHS AT Drive.

I have an American standard Strat which I love. I thought I should have a Tele so I bought the 50s classic vibe. I know most people love them, but the truth is I've never really bonded with mine. I don't know what it is, maybe the neck. I pick it up every now and again but I just can't connect with it. I. just keep it as a back up to my Strat when I go on gigs.

Ovaltine.

Is the neck pickup mounted to the body or the pickguard? Does this make a difference?

I love my Epiphone SG but it is hard for me to play. Mine has a very wide, but extremely thin neck. Someone had installed Seymour Duncan's in it, so it sounds fantastic, but that neck is hard for me to get used to. I still play it often.
