Blues Lunchbox Head Shootout With Rabea & Pete

[@Spittin_Bars]

Peavey is the best has the mic simulated direct out and the usb out, power attenuator, and 2 channels plus the tube safety indicator. Most features, least money, best sound. WOW

[@donkeydarko77]

Best sound? Nah.

[@Full_Deflection]

@@donkeydarko77that’s pretty subjective.

Hello, "Danish Pete" and Rabea, from St. Louis Missouri USA! I'm a 66-year-old blues guy who had a stellar regional blues career, but no longer plays out. However, I most certainly still play!! Really enjoyed seeing the Peavey demoed. During the demo, there were comments similar to "ballsy" and "thump". My "retirement" rig is made up of the Peavey Classic 20MH and a 1998 Peavey e115 tweed cabinet I once used as an extension speaker for a Classic 30 combo. The Classic 30 and the 15" extension made for a great harp and Tele amp but was way too loud for the living room! Now the Classic 20 and the 15" are the ballsiest blues amp I've ever played through! That 15" just creates such a round, warm, rich, clean tone ... but it allows for some awesome crunch when the overdrive channel is engaged. The 15" moves a lot of air, but handles the 1 Watt setting like a BOSS, allowing me some sweet distorted tones while the wife is asleep! You guys might want to give a 15" a try sometime. Cheers, Larry Cowsert Former Bassist and Lead Singer Piping Hot Buttery Biscuits of Blues (known to our fans as "The Biscuits")

[@MrKrampyHands]

Larry Cowsert hey man you ever wanna Jam with a bass player hit me up I live in the St Louis area myself I play a American elite jazz bass through good ol Acoustic bass amps

[@beng808]

Hello Larry, I’m also from St. Louis, Missouri. I’m a 22 year old aspiring blues guitarist. I’m not going to claim to be good but I’m working on it

[@leeasbury7273]

Hey. I currently use the same rig! I put a 15" Big Ben speaker in it. But those 15" cabinets are hard to come by. Mine's pretty mint. I love that Classic 20 / 115 combination though. I used to pair a Classic 50 4x10 combo with it! Amazing. But heavy and LOUD.

[@motooilermotooiler9597]

Hi Larry. Glad to see this comment as I have a 15 celestion with my p20 too. Btw Googled your book so some reading on the way. Cheers from Poland!

[@mostyles328]

Hello from STL. I’m a 43m bass player, but moderate guitar player. Fender/Ampeg guy, but a Peavey classic 20 might sneak its way into my house soon. Love to see Peavey really making some killer products again!

[@cowitch100]

I've always been a huge fan of the Peavey Classic amps...

[@michaelwisnewski]

When i was a kid, there was a local guitar store that had a fender hot rod Deville 410 right next to the PV classic 50 410 man i was amazed that i liked the peavey just a hair better. Now that i am an adult i wound up buying the classic 50 online. sounds great super versatile.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Well this is a no brainer for me. The Peavey is the clear choice, no button or knob tap dance to get good tones. Everything just works and sounds great and at that price it really can't be beat. I did like the Victory but as a pedal platform only and meh, the Peavey does that just as good.

[@angusyoung9594]

Has there ever been such a contrast in hair in a guitar video? Once again, Andertons leading the way in KZbin gear demos.

[@MrGreenYeti]

The high gain lunchbox head shootout had both Pete and Rabea.

[@Fektthis]

hmm, back when Chappers still had the dreads with the Captain maybe?

[@angusyoung9594]

That's a contender, for sure. :-)

[@Full_Deflection]

This video helped me pick out a Peavey Classic 20. It’s my first Peavey after owning Fender, Boss, Orange, Laney, Vox, and a couple others I’m sure I’m forgetting. Holy cow. The video doesn’t do it justice. I also really liked the Victory tone. Going to have to check that out next.

[@LoKi6922]

Wow that Peavey is a surprise!

[@ransombaggins9301]

Sold another Peavey Classic. So much value for money. Great video as always.

[@markannichiarico640]

I demo'd the Peavey in a local music store, that amp is fantastic, tone for days makes you want to play, beautiful sounding reverb, a great crunch tone and great gain tones it has all the bells and whistles, for the money $499.00 you can't beat it...easy for me to choose the Peavey hands down.

[@SSVplus]

The Corso is a Recording Preamp with a very high headroom low gain first stage 12AU7 so with the Gain toggle switch off it can handle the hottest pedals without clipping. Sure it has speaker outs like an amp but that was more like an afterthought for dry monitoring. Its post Power amp section Line Out works best direct to an interface with IR's.

[@letmeooze]

The egnater was actually my favourite one! I love the options and how you can also dial in monstrous amounts of gain. Wish they would have played with the wattage control.

[@miguelabreumacedo]

Bea with that flannel shirt, the strat and unbelievable playing reminds me of Rory Gallagher xD Was only missing the an AC-30 or a Bassman. *Please do a sounds like Rory Gallagher!*

[@willnewsome6222]

Damn...the Peavey Classic 20 killed! I've gigged with a Classic 30 a few times and was curious about the 20, definitely surprised at how good it sounds! Great video as always!!!

[@bobboitt3126]

Thanks guy's....I like the Peavey.

[@andrewt248]

Peavey with a big win here. Along with that LP. That thing sounds ace.

[@JeffStarr]

I would have liked to see the Fender Super Champ X2 Head in this shoot out. It's 15 watts, fairly low cost and the cleans sound amazing. Takes pedals really well too.

[@TheIronWord]

Fuck yea it does!

[@mpactdesignmedia]

Peavey Classic 20 for the win!! ….because that's the one I own. ;-) LOVE IT!

[@nickfit3]

5150 aside.. that is the best sounding Peavey product I think I have ever heard. nice job.

[@serginhosena]

Peavy is my favourite! Liked the Egnater with low gain too.Not that the other two aren't good but different taste.

[@bigbeebrian]

That Peavey was something.

[@luiso5401]

Man Pete is an awesome player, so is Bea. Keep it that way guys. Your videos are really useful. Cheers from Spain!

[@deltawhiskey1398]

I have the Peavey and love it. Don't think that it can't rock either....trust me it's not just a clean/blues amp. Crank the gain and it rocks just fine....add a overdrive pedal and you can get any rock tone from the 70s-80s or 90s. I run it through a 2x12 Marshall cab with two WGS Invader 50's. Sounds freakin great!

[@petericho71]

Demo from 38:16....Suhr with humbuckers sounds kick ass!!! Victory clean sounds pristine with humbuckers... ..Peavey through single coils sounds nice also.

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

very helpful video . Thanks guys . I'm buying one of these "soon" . Leaning Towards the Peavey right now .

[@markgonzales7777]

33:12 just makes me smile everytime I hear it. Probably one of the tastiest licks I've heard from Andertons.

[@teddydavis3504]

The peavey all day. I really expected more out of the Victory and Suhr.

[@lance134679]

Groovy demo. Thank you, Pete and Rabea. All four heads seem pretty decent. The Suhr really sags in a nice way. The Victory sounds as good as you'd expect. The Egnater was surprising to me, as it held its own against more expensive amps. The Peavey wasn't bad, either, especially as a pedal amp.

[@davidpettis5100]

Both Pete and Rabea are awesome players IMO. I give Pete the nod here because he gets some incredible tones from those hands! Wish I could play anywhere close to the way they can!

[@TJjeeper69]

That Suhr sounds awesome! Totally want one

[@Toby-vl2ug]

the two best gat players at andertons hands down..sick

[@DarthEcoli]

Rabea and Pete are brilliant. I wish they'd play together more.

[@69nisab]

great blues playing from Pete

[@Dagger_323]

In my opinion the Victory and the Peavey were the best sounding of the lot...

[@thomasbarnes6458]

Dagger 323 I personally really liked the egnater

[@thomasbarnes6458]

Dagger 323 the peavey is amazing though

[@Dagger_323]

PhycoPizza I personally thought the Egnater sounded the worst of them all, especially on the overdrive settings...

[@MrStephenlederle]

Dagger 323 I love the peavey classic 50 2x12 I used to own back in the day. I would really think about getting the MH but I tried out Valveking MH and went through 2 brand new out of the box heads in 30 days. Both broke within days of removing them form their box and the second one failed within 2 hours of opening the box. So I do not trust anything Peavey is making in the Far East.

[@thomasbarnes6458]

Dagger 323 I did prefer the egnater on the clean channel with a strat

[@russclewley6945]

I had a Peavy Classic 30 that was amazing.

[@RobCabreraCh]

After watching a tonne of Anderton's videos, I am partial to that V40. It just sounds right! I definitely have to get one in the near future! I also really like the Peavey. I've played the 50W, 4x10" version and it was awesome. Those Peavey Classics are really good amps for not a lot of money.

[@CircaSG]

Strat clean for last two sounds so good. 39:15 39:49

[@IbCurlyBass]

Peavey is the Best for me

[@extanque7049]

To be with you - MR BIG

[@MeTuLHeD]

Yep.

[@Mitchnagel58]

Watching Rabea play a Strat is like watching Chuck Norris eat a Twinkie.

[@ZekaSpalcev]

It's time to stop.

[@Mitchnagel58]

It's always time for shitposts.

[@stuarcari]

I can't even tell if that's meant to be a compliment or an insult!

[@oryxthemadbro3765]

Not really, he made that strat shootout video, and a couple more videos using a strat.

[@jakeschleifer1303]

Hank Hill Rabea actually owns a really expensive custom shop strat

[@robblaize]

I like all these, unfortunately can't afford to buy the lot, however I would have liked to see the Laney Lionheart L5 Studio 5 Watt head in the test.

[@robertoj.fernandez2189]

Great chops for great amps. Hard call too choose one theta all sound great. For me I think the Victory and Peavey a.c.a Piwi share a lot in the same areas with their own distintions. The Egnater si le crême Of the crême bluesy and Jazz. I will order the Peavy To star for my recording studio. Any thougths?

[@JKM395]

Thank you gentlemen for doing these. I'm currently in the market for a new amp, and I'm now leaning toward the Peavey. Very helpful indeed.

[@tomthx5804]

The Peavey is magnificent.

[@MrKnuttybuddy]

These guys rock together.

[@nsiepmann]

Pete playing Mr Big. It's a good day.

[@mozilla2576]

Finally catching up on all these older videos. Dang, these two are funny! Thanks for the review. I learned a bunch.

[@Robstafarian]

A sequel with the Fender Bassbreaker 007, the Victory BD1, and the Victory Sheriff 22 would be good.

[@ctcorncob7918]

Agreed

[@Driftuner]

the Peavey was pretty amazing...specially considering its the cheapest..

[@aixpert291]

Man! Pete is just killing it with the blues!!

[@MikaTarkela]

14:58 Mr.Big - To Be With You

[@daniyalahmed97]

Ive been waiting for something like this for so long! Thanks guys!

[@lance134679]

Thank you for mentioning the microphone and preamp used. The mic makes a big difference, such as huge proximity effect of a ribbon microphone which can make it sound much fuller than it would sound in the room, although some modern ribbon mics have a low end filter to offset the proximity effect.

[@kylehurley5651]

Awesome getting more of the blues out to everyone

[@Millo1868]

Time to reshoot one of these, with the Egnater, Victory ones, Revv if you also sell those....etc.

[@harryvincent]

Seems like peavey have nailed it with these mini heads coz the 6505 mini was my fav in the other video aswell and they're one of the cheapes options

[@gordrock]

victory and peavy for mine.

[@jeffrocx8599]

The Peavey channel indicators on on the pedal.

[@paul85y32]

Nicely disguised version of morning star there Rabea 👍

[@Stangil1]

That Les Paul sounds so sweet.

[@Chudhole]

Victory and les paul all day long. Actually I was not feeling the strat tones today. It felt like the gibson had balls for days. That's a lot of balls. Oh and that peavey was surprisingly pleasant. PS. I think it would have been good to trade guitars. I couldn't be sure if the tone was the player or the gear. Big fan!

[@yarbgreat1]

Peavy was my favorite. Was surprised cause I thought it would be my least fav.

[@birkins1]

First thing that peavey is a lot of amp for your money. I kinda want one and secondly you two make a great hosting team. Look forward to more videos from you both

[@boozoochavis7506]

How cool was this - Pete playing Captn's Lester and Massa playing a strat? Unusual for both of them, but as usual they beat this demo within an inch of that speaker cabinet! Good on Anderton's for giving these guys a job - I been looking at this Les Paul sssoooooo long I'm even wanting one now. Maybe that was the idea ...........

[@acemodean8533]

suhr corso with the nobels was very nice.

[@julianlopez85]

that's mr. big to be with you : ) one of my all time favs

[@snooze0023]

Peavey suprised me. Cant really ascertain the headroom of these amps. Sometimes you just have to try it yourself to really get an idea whats best.

[@brycethompson1330]

Please do an updated version of this video

[@Marcus-jg4jb]

I might own a Classic 20 MH, but dang does that Victory V40 sound fantastic!

[@vincentearl5752]

Marcus same!

[@DomSchu]

Seriously considering that peavey for a backup amp/stereo rig.

[@StueyDoo]

I love Pete's playing. I think the Victory is the best of these, but damn, I'm eyeing up that Peavey

[@fc7896]

Here in the states: Suhr = $1000 Victory = $1239 Egnater = $600 Peavey = $600 For cost and versatility seems like a no brainer.

[@benlogan430]

I just got the Peavey for $449 new with a foot switch!

[@nobassbackingtracks]

Can you please do the same for general rock tone?

[@MrKnuttybuddy]

That would be awesome. Just rock tone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Driftuner]

Marshall DSL40...

[@IGarrettI]

Mr Big- to be with you

[@adamrogers3780]

You really needed to have put the Mesa MkV:25 up there too!

[@adamrogers3780]

Must have Tom, wasn't in the description and I'm listening at work!

[@ShredShed]

For the money, can't beat the Peavey for bluesy stuff.

[@itaydancarmeli2309]

14:45 "To be with you " by Mr. Big!

[@jcugnoni]

Great comparison. Just a suggestion for a next round of 'versatile' Clean, pedal platform, Blues &Rock lunchbox head: Fender Bassbreaker 007, Egnater Tweaker 15, Peavey MH20 and Orange Tiny Terror for example.

[@aixpert291]

I like pete and rebea. Its nice to go ego-free for a change. (Sorry internationally touring, .professional gigging musician, guitar and amp builder, extraordinaire)

[@DM-kv9kj]

Are you referring to Rob 'The Egotist' Chapman per chance?

[@MegaBisba]

aixpert291 the sound of jealousy....

[@michaelgarcia2050]

Hmmmm. I sense a ton of jealousy....

[@michelbrault1690]

I bought Peavey classic 20 mini head for me and Peavey classic Cab 112 i live in a flat the 1 w Mode nice

[@hubbalol]

That Sayce lick is just sooo sweet, isn't it?

[@dejongeblondegod]

For bluesy tones the Peavey is the best sounding for me. Nice cleans like the dutchess and bassman like drive tones. combining that with all the options, the look, the valve check thingy and the pricepoint, this is a no brainer. I would get the Peavey. Unless money was no object, than I'd get the Victory amp.

[@abruenin236]

Great shootout video, as ever. And thanks so much for the compilation at the end, I have been hoping for so long for a channel to do this, avoiding me to jump back and forth for tone comparison. Maybe it would be even better if you cut together all clean tones first and then all gain tones for direct comparison

[@atilaaoliveira]

Should do a Rock shootout victory Bd1, the Sheriff 22, Tiny terror and Tubemeister

[@danielefatali5117]

Peavey Classic series, cool Fender in budget

[@mattwilliams8252]

Rabea pulls out the Phillip Sayre riff on the Peavey!

[@lakibjornson281]

Pete's face at 1:04 had me creased.

[@colaboytje]

Just received my Peavey classic 20 MH. It's an absolute hit. This little amp punches way above it's price tag. I would compare it with a Fender Deluxe Reverb. The reverb isn't my cup of tea as it seems to emulate very short spring reverb. But with a reverb pedal thrown in, it's superb. I recommend looking at this little amp if you want a Fender style amp.

[@jerran_duty]

Hey guys, can you please do a video on acoustics with pedal boards? What works well, what doesn't, etc.

[@Blackkey034]

Nice to see the children of the captain and robb get along.

[@illumidardy]

Mr. Big- To be with you. :D

[@evandijk1983]

im missing a vital amplifier Laney L5 studio 😐

[@rigorhead01]

Love these videos!

[@SSVplus]

Sure it has speaker outs like an amp but that was more like an afterthought for dry monitoring. Its post Power amp section Line Out works best direct to an interface with IR's.

[@napalmhardcore]

Really not a bad one in the bunch. I don't want to be that guy that deliberately says the cheapest one sounds best because it is the one in my budget (because I've already decided that my next amp is going to either be a Bassbreaker 15 combo or a Blues Junior lacquered tweed), but honestly the Peavey was my favourite overall.

[@larsoN2209]

You guys should check out the Brunetti pleximan. Handwired in italy And absolutely stunning tone and flexibility.

[@HammerFang]

Egnater has some really nice gain at your disposal :D

[@benlogan430]

The Peavey sounds the stuff! It’s inexpensive and built like the old ones, like a tank! It gets hot though so I hooked a fan up! I have a USA classic 30 and Delta Blues and it stands up nicely!

[@DM-kv9kj]

You say the Corso doesn't do clean because it's only 5 watts but my Hayden Lil Mofo is a tiny single channel 2 watt all valve practice amp and while it doesn't give the finest cleans it gives very clean tones with single coils and the gain under 9 o'clock. I think it's more to do with the design than the wattage. Low wattage single channels struggle with headroom as a rule, but with proper design can still provide very clean tones.

[@SSVplus]

Austin Dyer The Corso is the cleanest dialed correctly. It has a very low gain V1 first stage so very loud pedals won't push it to distortion. It's primarily a recording amp or preamp.

[@samuel19973271]

"depends whole torso we are talking about....anyway" quality boys

[@TV-nk3pp]

I'd like to see you guys test out the Made in Canada Traynor Iron horse

[@connerthompson5512]

14:53 that was SPECTACULAR
