Man he seems like such a nice guy that just actually loves guitar and gear. Someone isn't happy with his product? He doesn't get defensive, he's understanding and tries to improve it! He seems so genuine in every video I've seen him in. And that's not even mentioning the fact that these little amps sound fucking AWESOME! I _really_ want one of those Iridium edition amps! Great video :)

[@TSFAHTPS]

He was such a genuinely nice guy and AMAZING guitarist! And you have to think...he basically did exactly the same video with every KZbinr at 42GS and by the last day he was still as excited about it as he was on the first day! He just loves playing guitar and talking about nerdy stuff...it was such an honour to meet Thomas and do a video with him!!

[@dhchoi]

Bluguitar...never heard of it but from now on I will remember the name. Thank you Gabor, Mr.Blug for the great Video.

[@TSFAHTPS]

Thomas was one of the designers/developers for Hughes & Kettner for over 20yrs...his knowledge when it comes to anything guitar/amp related is incredible...and he's an amazing guitarist too

[@elonmush4793]

That's German engineering at its best!

[@vidsforsquids]

This guy Thomas is an amp genius

[@TSFAHTPS]

He absolutely is...and an AMAZING guitarist AND one of the nicest guy in the world!!

[@punkestmofo]

Kloppman was making some of the best pickups on the planet. I've been lucky buying one of his set

[@UnknownHumanoid]

It's good to use an attenuator with this amp, because it sounds different at different volumes. Maybe you want more crunch out of the clean channel and what works better over 50% which might be too loud for the room. I play it normally with the volume at 7. And I have a passive Silencer attenuator.

[@Steven_SK]

I’d buy it just because of the nature of Mr. Blug BUT it is a solid product. The design looks good and it simply kicks ass. Nice job!

[@TSFAHTPS]

It sounded seriously good!! And Thomas was just super nice...great guy!!!

[@tonedriverss8629]

Brilliant designer . Working with the times , producing some true usable great sounding amps ! SS vs Tube battle is no more .

[@TSFAHTPS]

He absolutely is...and a KILLER guitarist too

[@tonedriverss8629]

@@TSFAHTPS Absolutely !

[@ArshLX12]

It's 'Fuck you Glenn' Not 'Hi Glen!' 😂

[@thomasmozelt585]

i have to buy one of these!!!wow

[@TSFAHTPS]

It's a great little amp...amazing sounds for its size...and Thomas is such an awesome guy too...

[@unleashthefury111]

I wish H&K amps had some tighter distortion like this on their Ultra channel.

[@PooNinja]

all three seem cool but the iridium edition has the High gain the metal head in me craves. what happened to thing 2 has anyone asked him that or are they too afraid to know the truth...or is there an amp 2 hiding in the shop with a stereo power section?

[@liys540]

well , if I play vintage channel in iridium I am think thats are gary moore / evh /vintage / accept / u.d.o kind of sound

[@Am6-9]

I think this could also be a good choice for homerecording guitarists, that is if the speaker sim on the DI can be switched off so you can use IR for speaker simulation.

[@TSFAHTPS]

I'd imagine you should be able to turn it off...not sure though

[@ithebastardking2800]

The loudspeaker simulation of the AMP1™ Iridium Edition is analog and is voiced specially for metal sounds. A special Current Feedback creates an authentic tube amp feel with punch and bite. In order to realize even more authentic loudspeaker simulations, "IR" (impulse responses) are also often used. To do this, the internal (analog) speaker simulation of the AMP1™ Iridium Edition can be turned off, so you can use the impulse responses of your favorite cabinet.

[@TSFAHTPS]

Well there you go...you can turn it off...thank you!!

[@ithebastardking2800]

The SuperFunAwesomeHappyTime Pedal Show! No prob bro, it’s all on the @bluguitar website😉 Just need wait a few weeks untill the irdiums are in the shops😏 Great channel btw!

[@gingataff]

The Iridium edition uses an Ir and can be turned off, the mercury edition uses an analog cab sim and cannot be turned off, but using a DI with a pad will let you connect to an audio interface.

[@BOUZOUKISIGNIS]

Does it sound better than a grandmeister deluxe? I saw that you have some hk amps back there. I have a grandmeister deluxe and thinking about the mercury for a warmer more organic sound. Is it?

[@TSFAHTPS]

They are different...would be interesting to do a side by side though! The Amp 1 is probably a bit more flexible in the sounds you can get out of it...if it's warmer and more organic...I'm not sure - sorry! I was extremely impressed by the Amp 1...but what you see in this video is literally all the time I had with it...hopefully we might be getting one for a full review soon

[@witheredmedia]

is it easy to replace the tube in there?

[@tonray9395]

Sounds Great...but I think much of it is the Cab and the reverb

[@TSFAHTPS]

The Reverb is on the unit...the cab did sound pretty cool...but I think it'll sound good through any cab

[@liys540]

for me , if you plug this amp with strat .You can play jazz , funk ,fusion to yngwie . All the way

[@TSFAHTPS]

Its super versatile!!

[@christiansectas]

Is this loud enough for gigs without a mic on the front ? Or even band practice ?

[@TSFAHTPS]

It’s more than loud enough...very very loud little amp

[@christiansectas]

Thank you so much for the answer !!

[@rossfordcrue9642]

I bought him 18.04.2020 the Iridium, and cant wait for him. Fucking Corona

[@TSFAHTPS]

It's KILLER ...you won't regret it!!

[@w1third]

Can you use it with no cab connected?

[@TSFAHTPS]

Yes you can

[@hovadopekelne]

pedals in front of clean channel tube amp or this ?

[@poulwinther]

It takes pedals super well.

[@sid35gb]

It takes pedals really well.

[@panacea-studios]

Yeah, Gabor my legacy sounds awesome here in Coolum, I should test the power sockets here and see the voltage.

[@TSFAHTPS]

Panacea Studios oh cool Coolum...just down the road from us!!

[@panacea-studios]

@@TSFAHTPS You are in Noosa yeah?

[@TSFAHTPS]

I'm in Noosa, Alex is in Rosemount

[@LIHPIT]

Please get rid of the metallic squeal as I would like to buy one mercury-free please

[@ryndanriley5348]

It's pronounced, "Aloomuhluhm."

[@TSFAHTPS]

Haha...exactly!
