[@EpicGorilla]

You guys should do a "pick your rig" blindfold challenge where Lee and Rob have to choose their favorite guitar, amp, and pedal out of a line up while blindfolded to make a rig.

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

I second this idea!!!!

[@FzNd]

Very cool idea. I'd love to see that!

[@AAlfons]

I want that as well!

[@joki94]

they shold also carry everything to the videoroom and set up the rig while blindfolded. Do it god damn properly.

[@rapaladude]

They’ve done something like that before.

[@niclastname]

Old amps/guitars vs new ones would be awesome as a blindfold challenge. People always talk about how "it's not as good as it used to be". So it would be interesting to see how that plays out when you can't see which is "new and improved" and which is vintage.

[@ithemba]

that most certainly is something interesting, but I tend to say thats something we'll never see on Andertons youtube channel - since they can not easily make a buying argument for them out of that. Nothing wrong with that, but all those hours of delightful entertainment serve as nothing but advertisement for a big internet music retail shop based in the UK - and as such they have far more stake in pushing the new ones that they actually can sell in the hundreds, instead of sending people onto the hunt down the rabbit hole for a 5150 mk1 or a plexi or whatnot.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

The first example to come to my head is the Fender Bassman. In the 1960s, it was a guitar amp. Now, it is marketed as a bass amp. That said, is it simply the same amp? Will it still be every bit as good for guitar? That would make a great blindfold challenge.

[@niclastname]

@wildcatter63 I'm not talking about reissues and replicas. I'm talking about new things vs old things. Like actual new models of things that have evolved, not juts something that is trying to be the old one.

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

[@JimijaymesProductions]

Really needed a fender deluxe or twin in this, it's like having a guess the marshall and the marshall is a tsl and the rest are plexi clones.

[@justfortier]

Or a Super Reverb. The Hot Rod is hot garbage IMO, always hated it's tone. Too thin in the mids for me.

[@111spe]

Hot rods are fine amps but I thought you’d have something like a deluxe reverb or twin.

[@triggerhare]

Steve Elliott I always find hot rods “plinky” and not very good at being a pedal platform. Deluxe Reverb all the way.

[@triggerhare]

Will Ross mediocrity rules.

[@nath1606]

triggerhare Interesting. I always thought the hot rod was amazing with pedals. I’ve not used one but Russell Lissack from Bloc Party has a huge pedal board running into a hot rod & it’s one of my favourite tones, especially clean.

[@triggerhare]

Nathan Plunkett they are not terrible amps, and with some mods they can be amazing amps. Of course it’s just my somewhat mildly educated opinion. You do what sounds right to you.

[@mikedfurman]

Agreed, they aren't the prototypical Fender sound and don't try to be. I would have thought Deluxe too!

[@JimDewdGuitars]

Why is it when the captain wears googly eyes I always see Sid from ice age?

[@harrydunn7113]

Do this but with 5 kempers

[@nimrodkalif3788]

Nah 1 kemper and just use different profiles lmao

[@harrydunn7113]

@@nimrodkalif3788 yeah thats what i meant shh

[@TheGhostGuitars]

LOL, let's be nice and relieve El Capitans from the torture and instead inflict it on someone like Rob, Bea or even Pete. (Ah heck with it: ALL THREE!) I change my mind, include the Captain! But to keep it under a manageable length, use just 4 profiles with one being a fender. Also use amp sims that are supposed to be in the same category (like Fender Blues Junior and the Roland Blues Cube, etc.). Try use amp head sims so as to allow the use of just one cab. OR ye could just use the real things! 4 heads one cab. (Hehe, just thought of a twist: as the 5th test item, have the opposite playing. A real physical amp head with a set of 4 sims or a sim with a set of 4 physical heads. In either case, all using the same cab.)

[@HalcyonVentures]

All this shows is how important it is for you to be on-axis to hear the treble frequencies. The V40 was right behind him, and he's off-axis for the rest of them. Ideally the guinea pig should be in the centre of an arc where all of the amps are pointed directly at them, rather than the amps being pointed at the camera, and Lee off-center.

[@niclastname]

Not only that, but they're all behind them, when you're used to hearing an amp that you're at least somewhat facing. The shape of your ears makes a huge difference in how things sound coming from different angles. I wonder how these challenges would differ if the person playing were turned toward the amps.

[@budgetguitarist]

I totally agree 100%. There's a massive, massive difference depending on where you sit or stand in relation to your amp.

[@ellleigh1216]

I wonder how long this blindfold format can go on for? Please say forever...

[@ellleigh1216]

So dark Ahahah jeez 😂

[@lptomtom]

Lee picked the Blues Cube as his favourite in a previous video, now it's the worst. Really goes to show it's all a crapshoot: guitar, amp, strings, settings, placement...

[@TheBigDean18]

Well he wasn't allowed to dial in a tone at all, most the amps sounded like shit too me.

[@OdinStan]

Would love to see the captain meets slash. Slash, Myles and the conspirators are touring the uk next year - let’s make it happen.

Hrd is a great amp, but far from the quintessential fender sound. Would've went for a drri or prri in this test.

[@bipbipletucha]

Yeah

[@evilutionltd]

Maybe start with something easier for the Captain. What about: “Is it an amplifier or not” Plug into a Ham sandwich British short hair cat Car tyre Guitar amplifier Ikea table Then see if he can tell which one is the amplifier. 😄😝

[@trym2121]

Elementary school version Boombox speaker Computer speaker Walkie Talkie Microamp Amp

[@Pdro-gw7lu]

That got a good giggle from me dude, nice one. Let’s not sell our venerable old captain short though, just about anyone would have troubles too. We all know Rob cheats as part of his contract

[@bharat2580]

haha

[@renhoek3851]

To be fair the sound of a short haired cat with a cable up it's arse probably sounds similar if not better than some of the amps I first owned

[@DerEchteBold]

ren hoek Haha, a friend of mine has one of those, maybe I ask him to try it and compare the tomcat sound to his Yamaha THR ; )

[@laydownmisere3674]

The goldfish in the water bottle - excellent!

[@lance134679]

Lee previously picked the Blues Cube as his favourite amp in a blind shootout. In this video, it's his least favourite. It shows how a lot of factors, such as where the amp is placed and how it's set makes a huge difference. I've got the Blues Cube Artist and I like it a lot, but it doesn't sound great if you're too far off axis, whereas my '65 Deluxe Reverb sounds pretty good no matter where you stand. I think these combo blindfold tests need to have all the amps in the same spot, which I know is a bit of a nightmare, logistically.

[@zeppelinboys]

i think they could probably arrange things so the player doesn't have the amp right behind them. probably impossible with both playing but i dunno the dimensions of the room.

[@tricko2286]

I was like “man, capn’s playing has gotten worse...” ... then I remember “he’s wearing a blindfold “ ... carry on Should have all used same cab.

[@rectangularcuboid]

You have incorporated the blindfolds into the store for customers by now, right?

[@markhoskins]

The one thing they didn't say was what type of Fender. During the vid I did think Lee was looking for a Black face sound. The HR Deluxe's normal channel is based on the Bassman. To be fair, the Victory probably sounds most like what Lee was looking for. :)

[@milesparker557]

Got an idea for a new segment. Pete or Bea plays 5 different rigs and Lee and Rob will listen blindfolded. Then at the end they'll choose they're favorite sounding rig then they'll get to play it.

[@Theseasider69]

Don’t think Rob knew which input to plug into on the blues cube. The hi and lo inputs do make a difference to the sound. I also have never heard a blues cube sound that bad - even through the internet. In my experience each amp needs to be eq’d to get the best sound for the guitar going into it and for the ears listening to it! The cynic might say the blues cube was eq’d in a way that made it sound bad so that Lee would not choose it ‘..because it’s not a valve amp’ as Chappers was nearly too quick to observe. I think the whole valve non-valve thing needs to be put into context when listening through the internet. In my experience a valve amp generally is more about feel for the player - especially these days when power amps in none valve amps are much better than they used to be. Anyhoo - these are just my opinions, I’m sure others had theirs. Enjoyed the vid - keep doing more please.

[@MisterTee]

The tone of the Victory has inspired me to write a song called ‘Inundated with Puddings’

[@liamp4825]

Have you done spot the magnet type? Bind test style. You could do like ceramic, alnico 5, alnico 2 etc. Or if you fancy a bigger challenge, name the pickup

[@niclastname]

I wonder if it would make a difference in these tests to have the person playing face the amps. Things sound differently when they're behind you.

[@casaroli]

I love that he always starts these blindfold challenges with the same D arpeggiation.

[@sammychiba86]

Thats the Captain Chord

[@kenwinston2245]

Its all subjective day to day, so many variables including barometric pressure, humidity, strings, your ears that day.just find your happy place and run with it 😃

You ahould sell those Blindfolds with Andertons logo and the eyes! I would buy one. Nice wall item for the rehearsal room.

[@davidevans1723]

"yeah step on the stain" 11:13

[@amirkhalid5449]

Not quintuplet, not pentagon. Quintet.

[@boynamedlen]

11:12 Yeah step on the stain! Maybe it would be an idea to first dial in a tone based on (blindfolded) Lee's requests. Just have him play while Pete or whoever tweaks the amps. The amps were set to someone else's taste so they may or may not fit Lee's idea of what a Fender should sound like.

[@nekot9274]

The video the captain choose the blues cube, I remember it was right in his back (correct if I am wrong) so maybe this is an issue with those blindfold video.

[@mattheweastel129]

Got to say I'm with the Captain, the Victory sounded the best of the bunch for me. Beautiful clean without being too bitey(?)

[@TheTomarild]

Can you guys try out old equipment and compare it to newer? I wanna see you test out the Vox Tonelab (desktop model), a modeler who got far to little recognition compared to different line6 things that came out at the same time.

[@DeevoC]

11:12 Yeah, step on the stain.

[@brianwbuller]

was that intentional? I honestly don't know

[@bipbipletucha]

Lol I noticed that too

[@JackBealeGuitar]

I love the HRD, I even have the George Benson model, but it's not "classic" Fender sounding, where as the V40 is more that Blackface Fender sound (so I'm lead to believe, I've never played a V40). I'd give Lee a pass on this one

[@leeg7106]

I actually loved the way number 3 sounds. Sounded the fullest, very round, lots of body, maybe the way it sounded through the the audio set up or something. The victory had some creamy cleans. Everything else came off kind of thin. Just my perception, and wearing DT 770 studio headphones.

[@davegeraghty2187]

Love the lee glance cuts 😂

[@bemi-ton]

Hey Fenderonados: review Fender Blues Deluxe vs Hot Rod Deluxe, please ;) I bet, the hot rod is the least fender sounding fender ...

[@dragui9932]

Morgan PR12 and V40 Deluxe sound the best for me. Another nice video guys BTW the links are wrong. PR5 vs PR12, V40 vs V40 Deluxe. Correct links : www.andertons.co.uk/morgan-pr12-c-12w-valve-1x12-combo-in-driftwood www.andertons.co.uk/victory-v40d-duchess-deluxe-1x12-combo

[@stoneysdead689]

The Blackstar doesn't have a solid-state preamp in it- there are tubes in the preamp and power amp- it's the overdrive and reverb that are solid state. It runs 2 EL34s in the power amp and 2 ECC83s in the preamp. I own one- I just don't use the od or the reverb- I run pedals. The only weak spot of the amp imo is the speaker- it's a 12" Celestion 70/80, if you can swing the upgrade to a 75 Cream back- you got a really great sounding, unbelievably heavy valve amp. I'm telling you- it's heavy as is, the 75 heavy magnet Cream Back makes it considerably worse. But man, it sounds good- crystal clear, well balanced, and takes gain really well. You will think you've lost some bottom end but if you pay attention, it's just tighter, more focused- not as flubby. It's there but it's not bleeding over the rest of your notes, so everything is coming through nice and clear. It's like adding a really light, really transparent compressor.

[@Matthordika]

I laughed perhaps a tad too much at the goldfish. That made my day.

[@Vocalio3000]

Must say that I had the same sound opinion as Captain. I must say that I have 1964 Princeton (6G2 model), know that "fender sound" and in the headphones the Morgan is too bright/tight, Fender neutral, Roland not so warm and bitty, V40 has that warm sound like my old Fender, Blackstar is totally different amp.

[@JC-fj7oo]

Yeah I believe the hot rod series is designed to recapture some of the mainstream Marshall-esque market. And the v40 is designed to sound like a classic fender. This was actually a very difficult test.

[@keithbaker296]

Should a $2000 amp beating a $800 amp be that surprising? I'd hope for $2K any company could make an amp sound like a Fender, if that's what they're going for.

[@abdulazizrehan]

5 = Number of Anderton's videos you have to watch before their sense of humor turns from "annoyingly juvenile" to "I love these guys".

[@denizhanThe]

Is it just me or the orange strap lock on the black strat is from a plastic piece from a Grolsch beer bottle? Because I've done the same thing the other day and very happy with the result. Highly recommend it plus, enjoying the beer is included in the price. Cheers all, have fun!

[@renhoek3851]

Hmm, the captain's still using those goggles which of course were made before cbs took over, so won't have the deluxe head band or the mist-free visor. I've recently upgraded to horn-rims so I've lost a bit of comfort, but sometimes you have to sacrifice that for performance.

[@aidancollins4887]

You guys should do a PRS vs SE blindfold challenge where you get a custom shop, core, ce, s2, SE custom and an SE standard and try to spot them out

[@aidancollins4887]

wildcatter63 the order in price is descending of the models I wrote. I meant wood library though, not custom shop

[@mwmcbroom]

It's pretty obvious Lee was keying off the bass response of the Victory. And to my ears the Victory did have the best bass response. What's more, I think I would have agreed with Lee on this test.

[@Rodrigo_xt8c2]

Is that victory V40 EL34s or 6L6s? The link in the description takes to EL34 but sounds more like 6L6 doesn't it?

[@zeppelinboys]

love how Lee says the Roland is his least favorite in this video, but in another picks the Roland as the best amp amongst a bunch of awesome valve amps, lol. love ya Lee!

[@dash4786]

After watching the kemper videos and these blindfold challenges with the captain being blindfolded I can tell you right now he does not have an ear for amps whatsoever lol. He talks a big game but he definitely doesn't have that down.

[@skruffy79]

Can you include the likes of helix, gt1000 and headrush into these too along with kemper, maybe go for a fender tone and a marshall tone for each with a real fender and marshall mixed in for a cheeky blindfold test

[@tlstechtalk]

They threw Lee a curveball with the HRD. He was looking for a blackface tone I think.

[@dago6410]

is "spot the AC30" incoming already and WHY YES

[@wombat6]

I have an idea for a blindfold video : blindfold Lee and give him various Les Pauls to play : genuine Gibsons, maybe an Epiphone or two, maybe a couple oddballs like an ESP/LTD or a Chapman, forbid him to touch the headstock or other parts that would give away what it is, and ask him to rank them in order of *quality* (not price), see what comes out ! should be interesting... "battle of the budgets ?" I said Lee, not Chappers, because he identifies Gibsons by bloody SMELL and also knows too well what ESPs, LTDs and his own brand feel like, so it's less fun.

[@SG-wj2qj]

Thats short of a loaded test... Your forbidding him from touching components that will dictate quality in order to hide the identity. I also noticed that Lee can't tell the difference between a Nitro & and a Poly finish by feel. Witch is huge when it comes to quality.

[@wombat6]

@@SG-wj2qj for me the only thing that counts is how solid the guitar feels. nitro finishes are okay, they look cool if you like finishes that ge but they're not as protective, poly finishes don't look as vintage but are much harder. That's secondary IMO. Is the guitar put together well ? that's what counts IMO. tone can be influenced by pickups, pedals, amp etc. You can't really modify the build quality.

[@SG-wj2qj]

@@wombat6 while yes the Nitro finish isn't as durable and ages differently. It still is a much more expensive finish to achieve, and has less a plasticy feel. If the cap can distinguish the feel of the finishes. He'd easily be able to feel the higher quality instrument....but again if he knows what he's feeling for. Feeling if guitar was put together well just of playing it without touching hardware....seems like a bit of stretch.

[@wombat6]

@@SG-wj2qj you're saying more expensive finish is synonymous of higher quality. I still completely disagree with that. To me, and to a LOT of people, a harder (more protective) finish is worth a lot more than one that is less protective.

[@SG-wj2qj]

@@wombat6 you disagree that a more expensive, labour intensive process is not synonymous with quality as apose to spray on plastic. Their are downsides to poly finishes as well, harder = more brittle. Digs that may dent a Nitro finish will often chip a Poly finish. They're also extremely difficult to blend and repair a Poly finish. But taking your logic, not to insult or question your choices, but if durability is the biggest concern. Does that make Devcon 2 ton Epoxy the best guitar finish? Since... It is the strongest clear coat on the market.

[@tylermcswain9760]

The PR12 is based on a Princeton. "The Morgan PR12 is based around the small American 12W combo from the 60’s." Hence, PR(Princeton Reverb)12. Had he picked it, I'd defend him until the end because the HRD is barely a Fender, and a Princeton Clone is much more of the Fender Sound. That said, he picked a Victory, which is a "do it all" style amp. At least he didn't pick the Blackstar. Idk, I just think that the choice of a HRD to represent the quintessential Fender Tone was a bit of a misstep. That said, these videos are awesome. Keep em coming!

But I just don't have the knowledge to test enough of them out. Thanks very much.

[@claytonduguay9617]

Chappers had it easy. When you think Marshall you tend to associate it with a sound like a JCM800, which they tried to replicate with the Jubilee 2550 head in the video. If they had chosen a DSL40 or one of the newer Origin series It would have been more difficult for Rob. The amps put up against the Jubilee sounded NOTHING like a Marshall, even to my comparatively untrained ears. Fenders have very different sounds depending on the era and the wattage. Also, making a clean tube amp sound Fenderish is relatively easy. Let's see Chappers try this challenge.

[@SteveClarkeSongs]

I had the same reaction when I shopped for a low wattage ultimate clean Fender type amp for recording. The Victory V40 Deluxe (which is 42 watts but can be dialled down to 7 watts) was by far the most Fendery (and the best) of all the amps I tried. So I bought one.

[@Sco3000]

That Victory did sound nice

[@endocry]

Rob would probably have said what each amp was along with the serial number and manufacture date. I feel a Twin/Deluxe Reverb or Blues Jr would have been a better representation for Fender though.

[@georgeskaram425]

Great challenge avec le blindfold!! Keep it up! It would be nice to see a review on the fender '57 Custom Champ 5-watt. Also would be interesting for us to see at which volumes the amps are set when testing them since we hear it all the same on youtube, this way we can listen to how much gain is on the amp at a specific volume.
