Current Amp Crush Under 500€ | Kris & Guillaume | Thomann

[@GitShiddy]

Really liked Guillaume's logic in this one, not picking a cheap amp that'll just get replaced. Though it's likely to still happen with his pick. Applying that logic (and having a look at what's there) I think I'd go with the Roland JC-22, because what are you ever going to replace a stereo amp with built in chorus with? It's the most unique full amp available in the price range imo.

Now we need a version for bass.

[@Rizla46]

I agree my friend ! 😁😉

Well done team. I have been spending a lot of time recently with a Hotone Siva Boogie (cheap as chips < 100 of your local currency) and am really impressed. It has a clean tone to die for and takes pedals really well. It has a 5W output (more than loud enough for home) that drives cabs nicely and a line out if you need to plug into something bigger.

Awesome video!!. Always great to watch your challenges and crazy great playing skills. I have to go with Gillaume amp here.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks a lot! Yeah G really nailed this one. //Kris

Having a Marshall DSL1CR for less than 300€ I feel just fine: nice warm tube sound, tonewise very versatile, simple knobs and cool look which contributes indeed much to guitar playing whatever many folks say. For home use with IRs I do not need any more, however for gigs it might be a bit thin…

[@florisvanlingen]

The worst downside of a 1watt head is that it has no clean headroom

[@Corey_42]

Awesome video. Just curious, how about a sub 500€/$ guitar pick from 2024 models? Maybe rock/metal and semi-hollow? Thanks for your videos

[@sexykasebrot6198]

Great content, really like Guillaumes approach! I am wondering how the Hughes & Kettner AmpMan Classic would perfom in comparison to the Blackstar Dept. 10 Amped 1.

[@jeppej4265]

Do similar with InEar gear/full wireless rig? Something starting from cable mixer for your drummer and up to a cheap/mid tear wireless.

[@gottzilla4445]

i would be interested in a comparison of modelers like the simplifier mkII & strymon iridium, in combination with frfr speakers like fender fr12 & headrush...

[@fredmarquis1105]

Yeap you have made real good choice with those one :) that will help New guitar lover better than little combo , beau travail

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Glad you liked our choices! Cheers //Kris

[@patmurphy7266]

Archtop jazz guitars and amps - both under 500, and over 5k. Just kinda curious because I feel like jazz gets left out alot

[@xxdr34m5xx_4]

I really would be interested about some mid range gear, so for example around 1000 to 1300 bucks 😊

[@rhythmguru1]

The irony of showing off sub $500 amps, but with rigs costing into the thousands (I'm guessing G's guitar is 5k alone)! Love the playing as always!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks! G's strat is actually a heavily (and not very elegantly 😆) modded, inexpensive Made in Mexico Fender. My tele is pretty expensive but cheaper t-styles will also sound close enough. We had a blindfold challenge, where I wasn't able to decide which one I'm hearing, my tele or the Harley TE-62 in our studio. 😅 //Kris

[@PooNinja]

Nice choices but i prefer my Katana mk2 112 100. I guess my second choice would be to add another katana or 2 . WDW fo life!!!!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Yeah buddy, that makes so much sense. 🙌 //Kris

[@PooNinja]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses please help me convince my mrs i need two more amps (with no band or prospects for gigs or really any reason other than i want em) // Poo

[@yetimatzenightcat8702]

​@@PooNinja.You could tell her that the devices are very loud radiators 😅

[@srennielsen9141]

How about electric nylon string guitars? And by all means go wild and try some pedals too?

[@sch2412]

that double hum strat...

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Right? Such a sweet guitar. You just gotta love modded MIM strats. //Kris

[@GerasimosHandmadeGuitars]

I was too like that big.orange is less than 500????!!!!!!

[@matzer8846]

[@yetimatzenightcat8702]

😅 Lololoool 🥳👍

[@PatTheDude999]

And G-Man is asking :" Why , Why? Chris is cheating with a Cab ; So Why, Why? Does he treat me that way??

[@allboutthemojo]

Lol. Chris cheated.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Heeeeeeey, not reaaaaaally! 😆 The HB V30 cab sounds just as good and that fits the budget perfectly. If only I had a longer speaker cable, haha! Also, G cheated in the sub 500 guitar crush video. He took a b-stock just to make it under the price limit. 😅 //Kris
