Great playing!

There total junk

Great tones and playing! I have the SV20. My settings are: Channels jumpered, all knobs at noon except for presence and high treble (volume 1) at 9:00. For beautiful edge of breakup cleans, use lower output single coil pickups (a Stratocaster works great) or for humbuckers, roll the volume back. Works for me!

all the pedals sounded great. i was blown away by your tasteful playing!

Absolutely useless using slide playing to demo differences between two Marshall circuits. Demo the amps rather than your playing with simple chords, clean, crunchy and higher gain.

I’m currently using the HX stomp xl. Would you consider this better than the HX?

I reckon you could still dial in a good tone even if you were blindfolded and had your fingers taped together!

Both great but prefer the jtm here

Ah you are so good dude I will just listen, bet you would be great on any of the gear I have.

Loose the effects, cowboy up and play em dry

Sounds really good! You don’t hear that kind of quality here in San Antonio very much. You have to drive north about an hour and a half to Austin then it’s everywhere. There’s so many good players there they’ve been known to pay the venues to play! Your slide technique is incredible. Reminds me of a friend of mine, Buddy Whittington. Well thanks for the great videos Ben. Keep them coming.

Great video Ben. Very nice clean tones from the JT 👍🏻 It would be nice to have a Marshall alternative to Fender style cleans 🤔

Your dialing of the JT clean is darn good!

Cool video!

Not sure which one would be a better option for Gary Moore style blues, I guess both will do the job.

Stumbled upon your channel, so I took a look. Some great content 👌🏻. We share quite a lot of gear ! Ditto Looper, MXR analogue delay, Nux Delay / Reverb , SV20 Head .. and also bald heads 😂. I use a cheap Harley Benton Attenuator , ( it doesn’t smell of eggs ! ) but I did check out the Bugera version beforehand. Cheers 👍🏻

Have you tried the Simplifier x yet ?

For budget pedals I have experience with the Valeton GP200 and the NUX MG300. The inability to replace one kind of block with another kind in order to get two delays or two modulation seems to be common at these lower price points. With Sonicake can you change the order of the blocks? In the Valeton you can but with NUX MG300 you cannot (or at least you couldn't back when I owned it).

Great musical ideas, feel, and phrasing!!! I didn't see your Marshall on stage; were you using the Humboldt?

Their customer service is allegedly, very bad.

Well done Ben and friends, you guys always go do well with the folks 👍🏻

Very cool 😎 😊

Full on Channel 5 soft porn vibes

Hi Ben, your video and playing have inspired me to buy an SV20H. Question: can the amp NOT be plugged into a cabinet and go straight through the direct out only?

I’m not a content creator, but just wanted to say that I wholeheartedly agree with you. Had it been the case that you were only required to provide them with a link to your product review, then perhaps that would make more sense, but given that they actually requested the video itself, that changes the game considerably - especially since they could potentially then use the music you painstakingly created in order to specifically showcase their product, which they would then be able to edit into a different video. I suspect that unless you had previously legally stipulated terms of use for the content of your video footage, then it might be considered that in agreeing to send them the video that you had tacitly agreed to their right to use the content in any way they wished, including at some time in the future. Bear in mind that I would also take it for granted that royalties would be paid on a per view basis, yet no mention whatsoever was made in the instructions they sent you relating to any sort of remuneration aside from getting to keep the item after the review. Incidentally, the very first thing I would do is tell them that you prefer financial remuneration over them gifting you the item. Once that has been clarified you are then no longer under any sort of onus or obligation to produce a favourable review unless you really found the unit worthy of a high rating. They should be contracting your services to provide an unbiased review of their product. Hou can use the existing videos in your channel to demonstrate the quality of the work you are able to produce, and the company should remunerate you accordingly. Unfortunately though, from what I’ve seen that’s just not how this works - especially in the KZbin platform, where these companies are spoiled for choice. Love your playing and tone by the way.

Really great video and smooth playing. I’ve been thinking about buying this amp but I bought an origin 50. Having owned and used several plexi 100’s throughout my life I’ve spoiled myself. They are too much these days though. I’m a little worried about what you said about the 20 watt not being enough for your needs. So do you not recommend using the 20 watt plexi in a live situation? That’s what I’m needing it for. Thanks for the great video.

Hello Ben, do you still own and use your atomic amplifire box pedal? The Nux is very popular. I am looking to replace my pod 2.0 and I just don’t want to spend a ton of cash. I know it’s older, have you ever use the tonex pedals? Excellent playing and production as always. Thanx 👍🤓

Excellent review Ben, much enjoyed the jam at the start! This unit along with the Valeton gp200 are on my radar at the moment, so your observations have been very useful - thanks mate 🎸🎸

Awesome Ben. Yes, great job on the drums. They sound great. So does the rest.

Pretty cool Ben. Who played all the instruments?

The yeah definitely is the funny feature😂.

Can't hear no difference.

3:32 I always have a wet inclination

FWIW I use this thing for a completely different sort of music - indie/punk - and it's perfect for my needs. I just set it to a good clean tone, maybe just short of edge of break-up, and use it after my pedalboard (which has all the drives/distortions). Send the XLRs in stereo to the PA/monitors and it's so much better than the Marshall stack we have in the rehearsal studios. I also blend the Vox/Marshall sims, and have speakers as a 4x12 plus a 1x12 combo. As you said, it sounds much better mixing them than having the same power amp and preamp type. I sometimes use the dry bypass signal as well to send a synth pedal into an amp - massive sound :-)

Rod Price!

Is the decay knob just for reverb?

IMHO get legal advice around Intellectual Property and contracts asap. You at least need a Rate Card. The "guitar geek" was "inspired by "sanjay c" who was inspired by "marques brown lee" and other tech review channel.

Seems like a lot of pedal for the money and looks really well made too. On my list now.

Really good, I just got one

A good pedal that. I've seen reviews of it from a year or more ago and it still sounds good. About your last video Ben, I enjoyed the track very mutch and put up a comment saying so, but it has been taken down 🤔 I think it was becauuse I mentioned a site where you could put it up for sale. Anyway it was very good 👍🏻

Great video buddy 😊

I think it just interferes with the sustain on each string sometimes

I screw it down to mitigate tension moment at the post inserts. With action set to medium low, the strings do not touch the bridge. I see no reason to undo the tailpiece posts at all they are best screwed down for tone and to mitigate the post insert's tendency to pull out of the body. If you want less tension then just do the wraparound option, but do screw the posts down until the flanges contact the tops of the inserts. Might want to clean the rust and corrosion off the threads of those posts also, that does kinda matter especially if you are splitting hairs with tailpiece height.

I'm not surprised that Barber pedal is the only overdrive you have, it sounds absolutely frickin' gorgeous! Great demo dude.

Man you slide technique is awesome! I gotta learn a thing or 3!

This is great 😊

What cab and speaker(s) do you have?

Yeah, I just dropped $230 on one of these, but it was worth it. I love this pedal!

I would agree, that running direct to PA doesn't produce the best experience if you want it to sound like a guitar amp. I have QSC PA speakers, they sound way too harsh, high highs and super low lows. If you're running into your amps effects loop, you probably want to bypass the speaker sims, your amp speaker already has a sound and is not designed to be able to produce the various frequencies needed to simulate the various cab configs and speaker colors. I run mine as a 0-watt pre-amp and not as a part of my pedalboard; directly atop and into my mission GM-1 FRFR with my boost, gain, chorus, and distortion in front and my reverb, delay, and an additional boost into the effects loop of the Simplifier, and I'm getting a variety of great and tones, much better than the amplitude tones that I started with... Amplitube when dialed correctly can sound great for recording but horrible for amp in the room as compared to my Simplifier rig.

Hi, thank you for the Sonicake and Redwirez suggestion. I have the sample pack of greenback IRS and there are hundreds of them in there. Do you remember which one you are using.? Mic type and mic position of the speaker. Thanks Great Playing and great description of the amp and it's uses.
