BluGuitar Amp1 Mercury & Iridium amps w/Thomas Blug - 42 Gear Street

[@justingarcia7722]

I like that the dude making these has chops and knows tone

[@fuzzcous]

Blug had some nice chops, that was a good jam.

[@jedmarsillo]

Great intro. I'm pretty sure that Iridium amp will be a Christmas gift to myself. I really like what Mr.Blug is doing with his amps. RJ your socks match your guitar that's great. Keep rocking.

[@Red1Actual]

That intro was legendary! You both have got some killer chops and tone!

[@TheKirby366]

I have the 1st edition Amp1, truly amazing! It’s not for dummies like me, but if you put in the time to listen and tweak it really does do everything you want. Used it for Marshall grind and jazz cleans, both equally great!

[@thebuddybud]

RJ ur licks are so SICK i must learn them

[@franzpfeifenberger8729]

Great Playing from both- as always- thank you

[@BenCoombs]

Great demo!! Nice playing by both RJ and Thomas!! I really like these amps!!

[@guitarz]

Yeah Buddy...Thomas is a beast on that strat. That intro was badass

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

Great interview RJ. You kept it flowing nicely. And as always great playing. :)

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

I met Thomas at NAMM last year. He is such a great guy, and he’s so passionate about his amps. He’s an amazing guitarist too.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Thanks for doing this video RJ! Thomas Blug is awesome...and smart of course! Metal Heads are that next group of guitarists he was wise to go after...though it's hard to sell vs the look of a wall of full stacks...this saves money on your pocket book and your back! I'd love to see more examples of how it sounds with pedals...rock on Mr. Blug!

[@jefflebowski1838]

Grandioser Opening Jam 🙏

[@SuddenAccess]

I got the Mercury edition. What a great amp!!!!!

[@stacks4943]

Killer opening jam boys..! 😊

[@Jens_2013]

Thomas is ONE of A KIND_! awesome player and cool Ampist. I love his strat-tone. as well as great @ Marcus.Deml !!!

[@RandyFricke]

It's on my bucket list.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

magnets and handle covering shape is amazing.

[@EytschPi42]

Nice job RJ... the dropped frames suck, but they don’t make this a bad video! Next time this will NOT happen!

[@guitarz]

EytschPi42 it’s all good man..the audio is there for all these videos. We appreciate the content and independent vibe. Honestly it makes this venture even more memorable.

[@robpalanzagtr]

RJ so smooth man....

[@DannyBrooks1]

Smokin hot jam!

[@TVoltG]

The jam is awesome! I am currently mapping out an idea to have two, the Mercury and Iridium in a wet/dry mono rig with a L6 HXFX.. Thomas Blug is a genius. And one hell of a guitar player.

[@MrHoracedebussyjones]

I use and enjoy the 1st version amp 1, but I have a feeling that Blug will sell a ton of Iridiums.

[@robertbriquet]

Sick!

[@KaiDown]

The shirt! That's Smooth! 🤙

[@geraldignacio3895]

0:20 “the lick” is forever strong

[@officialpoa3171]

*In your professional opinion; the AMP-1 Mercury and Iridium, do they sound better running them direct into an IR, like TWO-Notes CAB or when they are Loaded Down through an Reactive-Load before the I.R.; like what is the actual difference??*

[@toneseeker4968]

Coolest thing I've seen in amps recently... I gotta play through one of these, see and hear for myself. I wonder what the availability will be like here in the states...

[@fedboy21]

Really need one of those....been trying to built my perferct fly rig...

[@PooNinja]

11:30 that's what I was waiting for the METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

[@tomireunanen8033]

Actually, you were using a ”single-coil” tone when unleashing the metal. The switch between the pots on the Ibanez was facing up, which is basically a ”coil-split” mode. Killer playing, the opening jam was epic!

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

If you don't have an Amp1 in your bag of tricks then what are you waiting for. Thomas really knows his stuff.

[@tomcoryell]

Doctor McFarland Studios My wife plays through one of those and a nano cab.

[@auggierobledo941]

ill take one of each please

[@toddflowers8052]

Damn you R.J. ,now I want one of these too ! ;-)

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Blug’s jamming has a Peter Frampton flavor.

[@zepolicesaberon]

another nice vid. not sure tho f it was just my phone or there were abit frame skips in the vid.

[@RJRonquillo]

Yes unfortunately some of our videos from the event were recorded with dropped frames, but thankfully the audio is fine.

[@zepolicesaberon]

@@RJRonquillo woah. never xpected a reply. ur awesome man. hope to see more of ur vids. Hows about a fan jam vid. 🇵🇭🤜🏻🤛🏽

[@brianmcgonigal229]

These little amps sound awesome!! Way lighter that hauling the 5150 boat anchor around

[@thesoundpurist]

Man I like his tone. It looks like alder wood what are his single coil though?

[@ehmmmjay9907]

Sounds great but it kinda looks like that thing Kevin talked into in Home Alone 2. I think putting it in a more "traditional" amp head form factor would make it way more appealing to me.

[@toddflowers8052]

The idea is so you can mount it on your pedal board though. :-)

[@tomcoryell]

They are super light, why mess with that unless you like a sore back?

[@NonalignedVideos]

Ich habe es genossen, dich zusammen spielen zu sehen. Sie haben kompatible Stile und hervorragende Fähigkeiten. Ich wartete jedoch auf ein Beispiel für den sauberen Klang von Thomas Blugs Verstärker.

[@RJRonquillo]

Check it out at 10:22 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnW2YoKZqK2ai5o

[@kirkr1961]

Both of those amps sound pretty sweet. R.J. I love your blues licks but don't sell yourself short on rock and metal. I applaud you for your diversity.

[@BentTom]

I was glad to see the appearance of some #RonTEALio socks to match the guitar.

[@conan218]

Don Ron-Teal-io is always prepared. 😂

[@phildoctor2461]

2:49 Gentlemen, please. Don't stop playing!!

[@NoCoverCharge]

Sweet Jesus on a pogo stick that sounds good

[@toneseeker4968]

I'm F@#KING floored! Where the Hell do I buy tickets for the next show?? lol

[@jounikorhonen]

What kind of a savant it takes, firstly build and play all the classic amps, build a phone-sized pedal to match them all.. THEN see a challenge in the metal-scene, go and study those amps, and players and their needs, and whip up a similar thing that sounds just as good as the best in there. With all the bells and whistles you could ever want.. I mean, the man seems the most jovial dude ever, but there MUST be a serious case of OCD grinding an amp-version of everyone he meets in that brain. While I'm trying to decide here too, whether to get Mercury or Iridium, ya'll let Mr.Blug have a little rest, and for fox's sake don't tell him there are bass-amps also.

[@LIHPIT]

Amp1 or milkman

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

[@milehigh1762]

Finley a guitar player who doesn't make the devil horns every time he plays or talks guitar,nothing worse than a middle-aged guy acting like he's 16 with his 20 guitars hanging on the wall
