A very versatile amp. Great review. I like his reviews because he shows us the settings and just lets us hear the sounds. I don't understand reviewers who feel they need to describe the sounds and tell us the pickup's selection, etc.

[@louaguado995]

Great review! Unlike most review channels,, you made it more about the product instead of your playing. Thanks. 👍😊

[@chrispage2782]

THIS is what all youtube amp demos ought to be. Well done !

[@surfrby8876]

This is a great amp, and this is the best demo of it on YT 👍

[@ObeseModetoBeastMode]

I have the red version of this amp. This demo doesn’t do the amp justice. It’s the most versatile tube amp I ever owned. It can do crystal clean to high gain exceptionally well. I recommend trying one out in person. You will be glad you did.

[@mickeymice2004]

this was one of the most well done demo's I've seen. As are most of his demos.

[@jed1mindtricks857]

Is it loud enough for gigging?

[@ObeseModetoBeastMode]

Randy Yes but I would get the 40 watt version to have more power on tap.

[@jonfagan4445]

I have this amp . I love it. Your video was awesome. You really got into everything. Nice job . I never comment on anything but I just had to give you props. Nice chops too lol . Take care

[@davidwoods358]

I think there are some great tones in this amp. I Like the effects loop too.

[@robertmann1909]

I now have bought this amp, it is awesome. Thanks for the video.😊

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

The best amp demonstration on KZbin, I think I am SOLD, couple questions from a total newb, what is the VOICE setting? there is one on the CLEAN channel and again one on the OVERDRIVE

[@markkosa1]

I have this amp with a Celestion V Type speaker in it and it is fabulous. Great cleans and 2 ripping overdrives....2 watt option and a global master volume

[@josepinero6999]

Which specific Celestion speaker?

[@markkosa1]

@@josepinero6999 It is the Celestion g12-70 V Type...I found it best for my taste and I used the speaker out to an extension cab to try 4 others, Greenback, G12XC35 and Neo Vintage along with a 70/80 speaker...the 70/80 wasn't bad at all but ended up with the V Type. It just depends on your style of music..

[@volvomies1971]

Sounds fantastic and very versatile! Good value for the money...

[@Fendermanpaul]

So many sounds in this amp. I bought one.

[@laodamasdimopoulos2655]

This thing is unreal. How are they still available out there?

[@the_Googie]

sounds good

[@tomrogerthu]

Sounds great. Nice demo. Which to you prefer? This or the JJN combo?

[@DKprojects9]

From my understanding the only real difference aside from cosmetic changes is that the JJN uses a Celestion G12T-75 Speaker. I wish someone would make a good comparison video also because if they did I could find out if its worth swapping to that speaker in my HT20...

[@tomrogerthu]

I have the JJN myself. Tried to buy a used ht20 mkii today, but i was a little too late. If i get one i will compare them😊

[@KrautRockt]

Top Clip!...this part its al allrounder, but not so "robust"...my amp, 20 hours (playtime) and, its gone broken!...;-( ...on 2 watts - playoperation....but the sound its amazing, for this "small" amp!...thx for upload ......sorry for my bad english...have a great time, you GrauKappenHippie from Germany

[@MattMacKo]

How well does it take pedals?

[@Da_Publick]

A music shop which will be referred to as 'Stan Ash' just blew an almost guaranteed sale of this amp today. My question was whether exchanging the British tubes with their American counterparts would make a difference. Sure, I could look it up. But I'd rather hear it from a human, since I was there already. But since they're geared to only respond to an obvious sale, he brushed me off to get to a non-existent customer. And this is after I picked up something else I had bought earlier. Nice job blowing a layaway sale; 'Stan' is down to three stores in the Metropolitan NY area, and it's clear as to why that is!

[@ajpyyz]

Sounds great. Trying to decide this or Vox ac15. Hmmmm

[@moofik]

same. which one did you choose if any?

[@ajpyyz]

@@moofik Actually chose something completely different. A Fender hot rod deluxe. Couldn’t be happier

[@moofik]

@@ajpyyz is it okay for home usage?

[@ajpyyz]

@@moofik absolutely

[@guillemba307]

Great video, I am interesed in this amp, is it loud enough for playing with a drummset in a house?

[@gavinsellars6456]

Yes, its pretty friggin loud! Enough to keep up with drums in rehearsals & home, but the 40watt better for gigging to make peoples ears ring.

[@guillemba307]

@@gavinsellars6456 Thanks, I finally got it, and I haven't put the knob at more than half.

[@stephenhanlin2388]

@@guillemba307 How do you like it now? Any dislikes? If so, what?

[@guillemba307]

@@stephenhanlin2388 Hola! So I've been playing with it for 2 years and it has been a very good decision, for me there is no anything bad, but I'm not a pro and I was playing with a very cheap amp before this one. If you have a place where you can play without disturbing neighbours I would suggest you to buy it. Idk the market price right now, but I bought it because I could get an very good offer and save some money. Good luck!

[@stephenhanlin2388]

@@guillemba307 awesome thank you for the reply my friend!

Sir please make a comparison video of boss gt-100 and line 6 pod go

i have a dude..this amp its not hibrid?.. totality to valvular?

[@stephenhanlin2388]

What dude do you have dude?

[@JT-oh4eu]

I just bought this and it makes a really loud hissing sound no matter what settings I use

[@wishmeluck95]

You need noiseless pickups or a noise gate. Or your gain is too high.

[@thadlogan51]

I bought the previous model blackstar HT 20 studio and was not impressed. I always wanted one but it was lacking in so many ways. Hardly any clean room, cleans very bland...no warmth or sparkle, no top end, muddy. In overdrive it sounded decent but not enough power and again no top end... brightness. Speaker bogs down when adding volume... similar to what a boss katana does. This sounds more like a solid state than tube amp. Actually my old katana 100 was better in every way. Even my old Peavy classic 30 put this to shame... the classic 30 has way more life, top end, punch... and all of the frequencies the blackstar is missing. Got rid of the blackstar in two days... never again. People who don't know better or understand tone may like it...or if you only care about the drive channel and don't want a very loud amp. Just so many better options for the price...

[@ludek.smolik]

“Just so many better options for the price...”. … for example?

[@thadlogan51]

@@ludek.smolik Peavey classic 30, Peavey blues deluxe, fender hot rod deluxe, fender blues deluxe, fender blues Jr, etc... they may cost slightly more but all sound 100 times better in every way. The Black Star ht20 is a pretty bad sounding amp in comparison... doesn't really even sound like a tube amp. I'd take a Boss katana 100 over the blackstar amp I had and sold...

[@ludek.smolik]

@@thadlogan51 Thanks! 👍

[@ludek.smolik]

@@thadlogan51 Thank you for answer! I'm quite surprised because I have a Blackstar HT-5 and I'm quite happy with the sound (combined with the Celestion Vintage). Could it be a specific bad model? I had a PeaVey in the past (120W with two Black Widows) and I didn't like the sound, although I have to say that a colleague's PeaVey plays well. It surprises me with Boss, because I didn't like the sound of Katana at all. I guess it depends on what you expect from it 🙂 Anyway, I hope it plays!

[@thadlogan51]

@@ludek.smolik I don't love the katana either but I liked the katana 100 better than the blackstar HT 20 I had. I usually don't like Peavey at all either but the Peavey classic 30 and 50 amps are two of the best sounding amps ever made regardless of price. I collect high end guitars and have had several amps and still have both of those specific peavey classic all tube amps in my collection. As does my good friend who collects high end guitars...has at least four custom shop Gibson's, etc...he also has expensive Marshall tube amps and much prefers the Peavey classic 50 to his expensive Marshall amps. The Peavey classic all tube series is in another league compared to peaveys other amps... but they don't get as much attention because of their cheap price compared to other amps. Pearl Jam guitarist used one as did the guitarist from the Eagles, etc. If you play the Peavey classic amps next to the blackstar at a decent volume you will immediately notice how much fuller, rounder, warmer, punchier, and clearer they sound in comparison to blackstar amps... with way more headroom. Again those fender amps I mentioned are good to though the last fender I would pick out of the ones I mentioned is the blues Jr. Oh if you play metal a lot of famous metal and non metal bands used the Peavey 5150...such as van Halen, puddle of Mudd, etc., Etc...
