That's one sick guitar

Prs have by far the thinnest and narrowest neck i have played, particularly guitars after 2020. Only played 2 models made before 2020 was not a huge difference but was noticeable. The widest was a jem7v, theres a journey between strings, dimarzios sound great too. The fattest neck that fills my hand is the ampro 2 neck on the strat, fells great but its chonky. I have owned most guitar models. Over the years, I have loaned, tested and bought probably in the high hundreds of guitars. I would say as far as comparison goes, play it before you buy it.

Had an epiphone sg for years. When i got a squire jazzmaster, it was a dream. Sg was juat just a touch chunky

You'd probably get better variation by keeping the amp and scrolling thru cabs

That tube screamer before the amps is why they all sound the same

Now THIS is a much more interesting release from Blackstar. This is really a proper spiritual successor to the Series One.

How do you get the clank on the chugs?

really like the look of the spira tele 400 in white really tempted to get one and at £289 its a fair price are the really worth it mate dont want to be buyin firewood thanks

Very Nice 👍🙂

Can you save a loop and retrieve later?

lml.

I bought both the EL34 and the 6L6 last Saturday. I set them both up next to my JCM 800 and I have to say, the EL34 gets pretty close to the JCM 800 tone on the green channel with overdrive on and drive set about 2. With a TS9 Tube Screamer in front of it with level dimed, tone at 12 o'clock and drive at 0. Eq Settings were Low at 8, mid 4, trebbile 8, resonance 2, Prescence 6. Kick in that TS9 and closed my eyes, and A-B back and fourth to my 2203 JCM 800 and sounds incredibly close On red channel, same eq settings and red channel drive at 2 with a Boss SD1 overdrive in front, drive at 0, tone at 12 o'clock and level dimed it has a killer tone for the heavvier stuff. I don't like the burn button, it is just way to much. I also running a CE5 Stero chorus, HOF Reverb, FlahBack2 delay and a EH 720 Looper in the effects loop and do not use the amp reverb. In front I am running Les Paul Custom Shop into a TU2 tunner, into Boss 200EQ to better shape the tone, into Morley Mark Tremonti Wah, then to TS9, SD1 and OC5 Octave. Last in Chain is NS2 Noise gate. The EQ pedal allows you to refine the tone really well. After 5 days of having both, I settled on the EL34 and returned the 6L6. The El34 is just a little more reminiscent of the classic Marshall tone. A bit warmer, and not as harsh as the 6L6. If I was a hardcore metal player, then the 6L6 would have been my choice. For me, the EL34 is a winner. And I forgot to mention the clean channel. Same EQ settings, but I do have a dedicated eq channel on the boss EQ 200 just for clean that gives probably the best clean tone I have ever heard from any amp. I have a fender twin reverb, and a 1977 Roland Jazz Chorus 120 I usually A-B with my JCM 800 for cleans, and the tone I got out of the EL34 with the eq pedal, is surprisingly better. No need for me to lug multiple amps to the gig now. Being a diehard vintage amp snob, I was very reluctant to give this a try. But wow!! I am glad I did. The vintage stuff can stay at home now where it is safe, and this will now be my gigging amp. Less to haul around to achieve great tones all in one head versuses A-B ing 2 amps, two mics in front and two channels to dial in on front of house board. This is a win for me. Never thought I would say this, and immediatley hated it until I gave it a try. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. PS: I spent about 6 hours total, tone shapping with EQ 200 to each specific channel to achieve the tones I finally dig. TS9 on Green Channel with Overdrvive engaged, and SD1 for Red Channel no burn button. The burn will never be used. And one final tweak, I removed the front grill and took off the 5150 and EVH logo and put behind the grill. Looks a lot better estetically. Now it's a custom lol

Very educational!

Excellent video !

I’ve dabbled in a few amp sims, lately. I have Amplitube 5 MAX and a Line 6 Pod Express pedal and they’re both great. They’ll never replace my tube amps, though.

I don't have small hands personally......I'm just watching for a friend.......really not small at all

do yo edit after recording?

Is it recording via mobile?

Why am i sitting here watching some rando read the blackstar website? I'm out...

Hello man! do you still have this preset on the cloud of hotone? I didn´t find it

Whenever I want to hear a Blackstar amp i come straight to your channel. Blackstar needs to send you a thank you gift. You are the only channel I see consistently cover and sample their amps as soon as they are out.

Sounds way tighter than any other Blackstar i have heard .

Love my Joyo Momix! totally outshines the Roland Go Mixer Pro and is about 35% cheaper!!!

The Series one revamp was ok , but nothing new since they first appeared 15 years ago - this is more interesting, modern and innovative features - can't wait to see more !

what amp did you use with that?

How to record

Looks/sounds awesome 🤘

I have a old fender, C shaped neck, and tiny hands. Yet i can play like a dream on that guitar, weird. I also have a ibanez and jackson and they are easy also, just not quite like the fender strat.❤❤

killer sound, very nice playing

I would get 500, but I HATE those finishes! I may get white 400, but then, I want 500 wood and other stuff! Hope they would make more plain 500s... Also I don't know why they don't make a bit bigger strap buttons, like Ibanez did like for forever, they are way safer than those "regular" ones. I bet it costs 1 dollar more to manufacture a bit wider button.

I needed this offer, Sonicake has Been Awesome, and I was hoping You Might make some Blackbox Captures for sale? I have a Chapman ML3 Pro Modern that has a reverse headstock, take some working in, People are Giving out secrets here huh? Cool! Love it! If I don’t buy them all first in the Used Market? Washburn Parallaxe! You’re Welcome, but I’m all over this Brand Now!

With the amount of gear u have, you can make any cheap guitar sound expensive!!!

Find a local music store...walk in and TRY EVERY GUITAR THEY HAVE>>>ONE WILL JUMP OUT>>>THIS IS HOW TO PICK A GUITAR AND HOW I FOUND MY JACKSON MADE IN JAPAN DKMG . Never take someone's word they have the greatest guitar and buy online...NEVER!!!!

Super classy. It’s amazing what you can get for your money these days.

Really impressed with your custom presets for the Matribox 2, great sounds and good value.

I like me

Stumbled on your channel while looking for the best iPhone app to use with my new Joyo MOMIX CAN (the cheap standard mini not the Pro but ooh that looks sweet!). I thought you’d have covered what app you’re using to record/stream. Seems some are using GarageBand? My buddy is learning keyboard and I’m getting back into guitar (Yamaha FSX800C acoustic electric) and we want to send each other stuff, do some live streaming and maybe even jam together remotely if that’s even possible. We live 6 hrs away after job changes etc.

Is that neck close to your Jackson guitars or more like a common c profile?

Hi neil , do you know why there aren't more videos of this amp yet ?

dude that breakup is awful xD nice guitar though

Highly considering getting the 7, but i'm a little hesitant since the body looks super thick and weighty but i might be wrong and it could just be what i'm seeing on the camera.

I swear everything is looking more and more like a schecter or a Keisel.

How would you describe the neck shape as in thickness round or flat

Hey, you said caramelized on the first try! 😂

That thing sounds killer, brother. Very nice playing, as well. 🎉

Hi , can you please make a comparison between the Blackstar and the Marshall JVM? I'm about to buy an amp, but I'm still undecided between these two Hi-Gain monsters.

damn nice riffs man

good for a deathcore band?
