What's the Best Home Guitar Rig for Under £500? - Rabea vs Pete!

[@scoobstar]

"Rabea shopping" should be renamed to "Rabea following Lee around the shop in silence"

[@thesandman775]

😂

[@fakeaccount663]

Accurately simulating the experience of father buying their kids gifts this Christmas

[@SalisburySimon]

Does anyone else just watch Andertons videos for entertainment now. I mean it's nice that there's shiny gear too, but that's not why I am here.

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Yeh similar to old Top Gear - I’m not looking for a new car in that moment - I just want to see people that entertain me with cool gear.

[@Deedeo25]

Exactly. I’m in no need to up my at home rig but I knew this video would be fun to watch and just listening to these pros jam is very inspiring too. Although I was interested in both pieces of gear Rabea was using in this vid.

[@jmaripen]

Yep! 😊

[@DanAddison]

Yeah I do. Extremely rare that I even consider buying any gear in the last few years (dad life, no time/money/space!) but Andertons often provides good geeky light entertainment.

[@zeevshaff]

I was about to say this to exactally like top gear for me, but you beat me to it

[@duschendestroyer]

Would love to see a video where rabea chooses a rig next time

[@metalliholic]

Lee asked how much he wanted to spend. So it sounded more like Rabea wasn’t 100% what his options were so he asked Lee for help.

[@jonnybroomhead]

Rabea's rig did NOT sound like a budget rig. It sounded superb.

[@Brati999]

Rabea is just on another level. What a solo. Bravo

[@dougcapler4583]

Rabea saying "Not in this climate 500 pounds is nothing" is too true

[@patrickmckay6621]

and he looks like a disappointed little boy under the christmas tree gor the rest of the show

[@Driftuner]

I thought Bea was allowed to choose his own amp, Lee? 😂

[@cirisirpula152]

But he kind of did? He wanted a modeler. Yes, Lee suggested Valeton, but it is not like he didn't want it. The other one he considered, Bea himself said it would have been too expensive.

[@StopTheRot]

I know there are bucket loads of geniuses out there - not least Danish Pete - but Rabea’s playing does something to my soul.

[@rodreyes8436]

Love when Rabea and Pete are in the same video.

[@evilutionltd]

The problem is that Rabea could make a tennis racket sound good. His air guitaring sounds better than my actual guitaring.

[@RyanKorea]

I absolutely adore the Valeton GP200. Seeing guitarists like Nathania Jualim touring the world with it playing in front of thousands using nothing but a guitar and the Valeton shows how we just obsess over brands too much.

[@bukwok]

1:18 awesome fender trouble maker in white ,big 70s headstock , gibson vol,tone control layout, im really like it.

[@Diijkstra]

I went Pete's route when I was broke (Guitar + Amp + booster pedal), later then added the Valeton GP200LT when I had some extra money. I didn't leave my room for months because I was having a great time. great video it's relatable in real life

[@Tone-Quest]

Rabea’s rig wins in my book.📖

[@michaels2418]

The world needs a Pete and Rabea album. Dear God please let it happen. I feel like these 2 just bring the best out of each other

[@benlogan430]

Bugera V5 with a squire and a SD1.

[@mileswatkinson8135]

Always fun hanging with the guys. I think either of those rigs are pretty cool, but in the end, I prefer a Spark just for the fact it has its own speakers. The Valeton does a great job at its price range, but i hate using my computer speakers to hear myself. I have a Spark Mini, and it's the best thing in its price range. The guitar Rabbea chose is sweet, so half a point goes to each side in this challenge.

[@chriscolabella880]

I feel like Anderton's actually read my comment from their previous video about doing challenges like this in the store rather than scrolling through the website. They are an online retailer who feels like a music shop where you have a great relationship with the staff and owner. That's their USP. I've spent thousands with them because of that. Videos like this are what create that feeling. More please.

[@RareYogurtMale]

Yes I love the videos where you guys are filming inside the store

[@GarrettRodman]

Great to see an ultra budget one as 99% of similar videos elsewhere are 1k, let's also see the other end...a 2500, 5000, and 7500 budget video(s)

[@bkmeahan]

They haven't done a sounds like with breaking the bank in a long time.

[@ThrowAway-hm6gc]

LOVE the in store videos

[@Rob_van_der_Linden]

Rabea is such an amazing guitar player :-)

[@ivorharden]

A Behringer wah into a Behringer stereo chorus plugged into Two Marshall Code 25 amps.

[@svenrendulic6442]

Im glad soloking is getting more popular in europe and uk, they have some very sick models which i hope will be available at andertons

[@TurtlesStudios]

I think the moddler has more potential to take you further. You could easily transition to live no problem.

[@Artec619]

More videos around the store please!! always liked those the best

[@szneka12]

For £500 I'd go for an Orange Micro Terror head + 1x12 cab + Squier Sonic Strat (HSS) and you have a bit left for an inexpensive reverb pedal and maybe some extra distortion :-)

[@xxdr34m5xx_4]

Gotta love these distinguished gentlemen 😌

[@lukehenderson436]

Danish Pete “lives in a flat” my butt; he has a Viking long ship and roams the south coast 😂

[@Hattifnattens]

😂

[@bkmeahan]

With the spark, Pete really only needed a looper and the spark 2 has that so he could have saved 145 and spent a little more on the guitar, but I really don't think you could beat the versatility of the valeton and that soloking is awesome. I think Lee definitely picked the better rig for the money.

[@picksalot1]

Easy win for Rabea, good sounding guitar and Modeler with loads of features and versatility.

[@anthonycutt8854]

Well I thought Rabea's rig sounded terrible but apparently I'm wrong. Good way to go with Christmas coming too.

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

its a (DRAW) guys ,loved the vid more.

[@dadkingcoffey8333]

Im so impressed with positive grid . I run it through my 100 watt marshall

[@BeigeYeti12345]

Used mexican strat and some cheap modeling amp like a micro cube or katana. Hard to beat that.

[@jamiedarcy2462]

I'm giving the win to Rabea! The rig is more versatile and anyone could get a sound with it whether they wanted to play country or death metal! Pete's rig isn't going to cut it when it comes to the heavier stuff!

[@jfrankcarr]

I have a Valeton GP100 that I got for taking along on trips. I recently replaced it with a Two Notes Opus that I like a lot better.

[@IanLoughead]

If you're a kid and want to form a band then Pete's rig is the better choice. The speaker isn't the best but it is darn good enough to get you learning to pay with others. If you need to gig with all your stuff then Rabea's rig makes a lot of sense. Better guitar and you can actually dial in your sound.

[@daveharris8115]

Based on current prices, I'd go for the Valeton GP-200LT @ £200, and the Jackson JS32 DKA Archtop @ £300.

[@ThePlanarchist]

Rabeas's rig all day. And his playing too. Nice one.

[@Graham_Reeves]

Lee needs to raise the roof in the store a bit to accommodate Rabea's hair! 😉

[@gssuper1438]

I feel like petes rig is much more newbie friendly. Just site down and play! But rabeas rig is way better for upgrading in the future.

[@jcugnoni]

My choice would be a Hotone Ampero 2 Stomp ( but just over budget) or ToneX One + a few ToneCity drive pedals (ToneX will have delay and modulation) and a good pair of headphones. The best sound quality for the money in my opinion.

[@MikkoTolonen]

If you have a computer already..... I´d go with a Scarlett solo + a Neural DSP plugin and spend the rest on a guitar.

[@dcflake5645]

It's amazing how many people go expensive amp cheap guitar. I'd do the opposite, I'd spend 300-400 on a guitar and then just plug into positive grid or something. Am i missing something?

[@derelictconfusion9498]

It must be Christmas!

[@jwestl3y]

Love to see it, but agree this should be called Lee telling Rabea what to buy 😂 let the man be captain

[@OllieW501]

Captain Lee is like a giddy kid between these two players (no offence, Lee is great in his own right) but Rabea and Pete are amazing.

[@spkbri]

I'd go Behringer UMC22 (£36 on Andertons) + Amplitube 5 (around £100) and get the best guitar (or bass) I can get for £364, like a nice Ibanez, and then play on my PC (on which I can record and have anything in the background)

[@robertandre778]

I choose Rabea cause this guitar looks more enjoyable :)

[@djangle67]

How about an Eastcoat p90 equipped gold top Andertons 👍

[@akwamarsunzal]

Mud wrestling? Sorry Pete, you are gonna get it! LOL

[@mgregory623]

I want a $5k one. Not no budget but def more than $500

[@stoneysdead689]

Everyone phreaking out because Lee helped him find his rig needs to chill out instead. He was only trying to help make things more fair because like he said, Pete has had a chance to play literally everything in the shop- Rabea hasn't, not even close. He had no idea what kind of stuff was available in that range that would compete with Pete's rig. Lee just helped him find a few options, he made the final choice. Besides, imo- he won- I thought his parts sounded better. His gear may not have won, but he did- he stumped Pete. The closer and closer they got to shredding, the more he sounded better- that's not Pete's thing.

[@MarcusSperry]

Pete loves Rabea more than anything

I'd go with Pete's rig, although I liked the Tele, but Pete can do anything he wants, without extra peddles or extra speakers

[@milos1534]

Sry to ask, I didn't watch Andertons for so long, but what happened with Rob Chapman collab, they didn't make video together for soo long, did something happened?

[@trevormekelburg3773]

You guys should really check out Sofa King. Sofa King awesome 😂

[@kaekayyy2554]

0:26 a vocabulary change is in order, chaps.

[@billtaylor4897]

What does Beers hair think ?

[@westcountryblue6123]

What are those coloured cables you're using?

[@joshuaclarke5651]

Points for bea just for the shred 😂

[@KozmykJ]

I bought a Talent Cell battery pack for my Spark 40 .. just before the Spark 2 appeared. £79 🙄

[@superphillette9417]

Do 5k £ guitar rig verson pls!

[@MattZildjian]

soloking guitar is now £299 :(

[@paulogden27]

I get accused of influencing people's decisions... picks Rabea's entire rig 😂

[@PawlikJJP]

We all know that Rabea would just chose his plugin and spend rest on the guitar. But you don't sell his plugin on your website

[@heymrguitarman7637]

Honestly I'd just spend all the £500 on the guitar and play it unplugged until i could afford an amp or modeller. Ain't no one with £500 just spending £99 on the guitar in real life

[@danb8375]

So Rabea basically just gets told what to use!

[@aeonturnip2]

Ah, another Anderton's budget rig, just going to show that talent beats money every time.

[@chrissguitarshow206]

Sorry, Rabea has the best rig all the way. I own one of these and the spark and the valeton gp 200 is killer and the price is great.

[@TractorMonkeywithJL]

Which sadly proves it's more the player than the gear used.

[@caknut]

what is the pete spotify drama

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

A little Blazé saying £500 is nothing. Lots of people don't have that.

[@Puppet_masterUK]

Ffs, Lee just basically chose for Rab 😂 He also spent £520 not £500 😐

[@SuicidalLemonade]

Crush 20RT, Cheep HSS, Cheep distortion and loop pedal. Play for 18 months before Inevitably buying an expensive valve amp and 1x12 that's too loud for your room.

[@prime1971]

pretty sure Rabea and Pete could make a potato sound good!

[@Slyness64209]

Props to Pete, he's 100% right, fuck Spotify

[@HEXiT_]

b4 i watch.... boss katana mk2, squire affinity tele or strat.. job done ;)

[@narrowonflow]

todays video was too short...

[@narrowonflow]

rabeas dunks stier

[@SuperGreenough]

Pete’s rig sounds like junk to me, it sounds like a really poor emulation of a valve tone, quite like my 1998 Squier and Marshall starter pack cranked up. Rabea’s rig sounds brilliant.

[@dalj4362]

What's the point when they don't even pick the items. Just constantly persuading them what to get. Pretty annoying tbh

[@dash4786]

1) Captain you need to chill out and let these guys choose. You're a little bit too controlling 2) what is Rabeas attitude lately on these videos? The last couple he seems miserable like he doesn't want to be there. I understand he's a little busy with vower and his own s*** but damn perk up or dont make videos

[@edhauser6052]

How come Rabea looks soooooooo freaking bored?

[@PorchBass]

500 is meaningless.... Insane to buy new gear on low budget

[@AvidEric]

Guys... you title the video "Rig for UNDER £500". If the multi effect-pedal is 270 then there's not "250ish" to play with for a guitar. Also, part of a rig is the cable - make that another 10. So Rabea's rig is not under 500, it's £530. That's 6% more than the absolute max and even then it would not be "under" 500. As for Pete... 100 for the guitar, 280 for the Spark, 100 for the looper and 45 for the Durple pedal - also a tenner for the cable here. That's £535 for Pete's rig and while at least close to Rabea's rig, 7% above the absolute max. Why don't you name the video "Best Home Guitar Rig for Under £540" and at least be honest about it? Would be nice if you'd actually stick to the task - or use a non-misleading title for the video.

[@derelictconfusion9498]

It would be a lovely idea if they offered both rigs for 500 as a nice Christmas compromise

[@jessedsilva7723]
