Very open, raw sounding amp and that gain is just unreal. Not my cup of tea, but a great sounding amp for savage tones. And I absolutely love that broken up clean tone.

Fluff, I know your job is demoing gear, but honestly, there are so many great amps out there today that it’s hard to get excited anymore. If you’re shopping for one, you’ll drive yourself mad if you want to try them all. What I want to know is when the next Dragged Under album is coming out.
@alexanderwald20463 жыл бұрын
What's exciting about this amp has been played down a bit in Fluffs video I think. yes it sounds good, but on top of that, it's small, it's got an actual clean channel (buh bye 5150 and their offsprings), it's got MIDI, it's got build-in tubescreamer. that's a lot of win for such a small package.

My ZT Lunchbox puts out 100wRMS via internal speaker (half the size of the Victory 'with' a speaker inside) and another 100wRMS via external cabinet (handles ANY 8ohm cabinet) ... Total 200wRMS + cabinet... drowning out 100w heads... the small light amp is perfect for travel with a Vox Fx Starstream guitar, or any guitar + a modelling pedalboard (like my Line 6 POD 500X HD)... and it's actually the size of a kids lunchbox!

is it me or are like amp heads and amps overall getting smaller and less watts then in previous years? Like they are the cost of the giant high watt amps of yesteryear but now if you want a half stack with a high gain high watt large head its like almost 3000$?

@@johnpickk7526 ehhhh kinda. The more affordable big heads (think newer 5150, 6505 etc) are manufactured overseas, wheras the more expensive ones are being manufactured in the USA or the UK, all handwired and the price reflects that. Realistically, the only people who can actually get proper use out of huge, unnecessarily loud 100w valve heads are people who can afford them and are in situations, wether live or in the studio, where that volume of amplifier is necessary. As I said, you don't need 100w amps anymore. Hell, my Katana 50 could get over a drumkit in a pub with no PA, and realistically speaking that's the loudest your amp is ever going to be, because you have PAs to amplify yourself in larger venues. Why make a massive amp cheap and have no one use it when you can made it super expensive and know it will sell? 🤣
