I got them to make me a Princeton clone but with 22w, a 12 inch speaker and a mid control. Its amazing. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Emprize.

A great review, Jackson. That covers lots of tonal options. I can attest to the quality of Emprize Amps, I possess a "Helmsley," a glorious thing 👌

Nice review. I have this amp, albeit with a 6L6 power section which I requested on order. Although 22 watts should be plenty loud enough with an efficient speaker, I just wanted the bigger Fender Vibrolux/Vibroverb vibe and increased headroom. I’ve gigged it quite a bit now and it sounds great, just a beautiful clean pedal platform. The trem throbs and the reverb is just right. Build is impeccable. Nice and light as well.

Looks good but the whole time wondering why there isn’t a $90 sm57 available to mic it .. or just record it with the sm7b that you’re talking through while playing with headphones??? Too bad there are no actual sound samples to show off this very expensive fender killer. Got me though and went to the site!

It makes sense to use a low-powered amp for six-string guitar. You don't need loud for the studio; for stage work, the FOH does the heavy lifting so a guitar amp really only needs to function as a personal instrument monitor and to send a feed to the board. Time was a guitar amp had to be its own mains, hence Leo Fender's insistence on "tremendous distortionless power". Haven't needed that much headroom in decades for six-string. Pedal steel and bass do need more headroom but that's a different situation.
@ptomo663 ай бұрын
Agreed. However, why would a pedal steel need more power? I understand bass needs more. Honest question as I genuinely do not know anything about pedal steels. Thanks
@davehopping72123 ай бұрын
@@ptomo66Thanks for inquiring! Most steel players want zero distortion or overdrive, plus there are innumerable "sliding" notes, both from moving the bar and working the pedals and knee levers. In addition all doubleneck and 12 string steels have considerably greater range than a six string. Keeping all of that clean takes up a lot of headroom. I've seen steel players use Deluxe-Reverbs but all were in very low-volume situations. My favorite steel-amp rigs are a Twin-Reverb head-cab with a 2-12 (D120Fs) Bassman bottom or a Milkman PS-300. But if I were going to do a new-country lead guitar situation I'd want to get hands on the Emprize in the vid!

@menamestom2 ай бұрын
Both the Fender and Marshall will be built to a price point, cheap caps, so so PCB. I had a Princeton Reverb reissue, lovely sounding amp but eventually blew up and needed major surgery including PCB. This amp is a world apart, far more serviceable for reliability and longevity.
