It’s crazy how good inexpensive gear is My first amp wasn’t an amp at all… it was my parents stereo. I blew out the speakers lol Have a great weekend my friend

[@GearGasms]

lol - I did my own stereo but it was a Lloyds if you remember that brand. Never blew it but plugged into a mic input on it

[@darvinclement3250]

That little thing has some suprisingly good overdrive tones. If you ever have $35 in your pocket and thinking about spending it on beer and cigarettes, buy one of the Joyo Ultimate Drive pedals off of Amazon instead. I got one a couple days ago and holy crap it sounds great! If you like the Fulltone OCD pedal (I have one, it's my favorite overdrive so I don't know why I bought the Joyo) this thing will float your boat. Keep these great videos coming Alan. I've been checking out your older videos, and you can sing! And you've interviewed alot of the guys on the soundtrack of my teenage years.

[@GearGasms]

That’s cool to hear. The OCD has been on my radar for awhile - may have to try the Joyo! Yes and so many of the interviews were real pinch me moments!

[@davismusic3674]

Wouldn’t it have been great to have an amp like this back when we were learning KITH songs 😎

[@GearGasms]

Hell yeth!!

[@blakebruner6173]

Your first strums made my brain remember Grand Funk Railroad's "I'm Your Captain". The electric intro snds like da same amp. The power in these chips are amazing to these covered wagon era ears.

[@GearGasms]

I’ve got three interviews with Mark Farner on my Rockstar interview playlist if you’re interested! He’s the man!

[@woodyl8416]

No clean channel, don't know why there's a crunch button it always distorting the sound. I complained to Donner regarding the lack of clean sound and they sent me another one, same result distorted sound. I don't recommend, looks like a toy and sounds like one too.

[@GearGasms]

Yeah I don’t think they’re meant to sound very good honestly

[@octave-up-up-up]

Yesssss, you got yourself a new fan, friendo!

[@GearGasms]

Thanks brother! Welcome to the family! 🤘🏻🎸

[@9372duffy]

Love what you do…great content, entertaining as hell and awesomely self deprecating. Everything a great channel should have! Celebrate Mediocrity!

[@GearGasms]

Lol- that’s so cool to hear! Thanks so much! Please spread the word because the channel has been growing slowly lately! Happy Friday!

[@allboutthemojo]

@@GearGasms does that dsl 100 behind you have a master volume control that's good enough to dial in bedroom volume without sacrificing the cranked tone of a tube amp? Or do you have to play it with an attenuator?

[@GearGasms]

I’ve only really turned it up once and it was painful so I’m not the best judge of a cranked amp tone. Lol. But after that disclaimer I can have fun at daytime volumes - let’s call them that

[@allboutthemojo]

@@GearGasms I know the Marshall tube amps are incredibly loud . I had a 20 watt that I could not play over volume 3 at home but that didn't have a master volume . I see many people with the 100 dsl in a small home / apartment so I'm curious how they tame them ( master volume or power attenuator). The tone on the 100 is unbeatable, can't get that fullness in the lower wattage Marshall dsls.

[@scottstetzer]

Fun video!

[@GearGasms]

Thanks Scott!

[@parkkingery9216]

Sounds great on gain, cool little amp

[@GearGasms]

How about that Ninurta into it? 🤘🏻

[@parkkingery9216]

@@GearGasms I didn't want to call it out but it was obvious it sounded awesome

[@GearGasms]

Lol

[@GearGasms]

A couple of commenters asked where they could get one!

[@leewarner9156]

Just subbed, brilliant channel.

[@GearGasms]

Thanks! Welcome to the family! 🎸🤘🏻

[@Realroyrogers]

Carry on!

[@GearGasms]

I shall, kind sir!

Now playing on the beach isn't a dream

[@GearGasms]

Truth! Make others feel that metal! 🤘🏻bye bye seagulls! 🤘🏻🤓

[@thenumber1bobo]

Damn, I just bought one of these for my daughter for her first amp (chill, she's 3), and they didnt even send it in a cardboard box! They literally sent it in the product box just wrapped in a waterproof plastic wrap!

[@GearGasms]

That’s very unusual! I just got the Donner Cyclops and the video will be released next Friday and it came in a nice box.

[@aintgotimetowipe]

hello im getting a guitar soon in the time stamp “Dirt channel” was the distortion? effect made by the pedals? if not whats the point of a distortion pedal? great video too!

[@GearGasms]

No that was all the amp! Thanks - and let us know if you get one and how you like it! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks

[@aintgotimetowipe]

@@GearGasms aw thanks

[@markbundy1694]

I’d also love to hear the Dasher and Blitzen 5 watt’r… 🤘🏼👊👍😂

[@joeyvanostrand3655]

I heard it might be out around December 😁

[@GearGasms]

The Rudolf 10 watt has an oversized power lamp

[@Frankie-ku1yr]

The clean aint clean and thats purely perfect for my style

[@GearGasms]

Price is right as well! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!

[@joeyvanostrand3655]

I'm not allowed to leave reviews on my Amazon account anymore because of all the Donner stuff I got. Great stuff for the price! I have a digital piano, electronic drum set, two acoustics, a ton of pedals, tons and tons of accessories, Lord knows what else. Oh, and a ukulele. It is great stuff for the price. What really gets me going is that somebody pays $20 for a noise gate and thinks it's going to act, sound, and function just like and ISP Decimator or a RocKtron HUSH.... Dummies.

[@GearGasms]

I’m hoping they will want to work with me some more! It was very cool!

[@kelanth462]

Looking for a small portable speaker to mic my flute to. I wonder if this would do the trick. I do a "wandering minstrel" gig at festivals sometimes for a little extra $$.

[@GearGasms]

Absolutely it would! That would be pretty cool actually

[@woodyl8416]

If you like the sound of a distorted flute, this is a toy.

[@loool72]

👍👍

[@ems_tub8303]

I’m kinda new to electric and I’m looking for an amp and do you think this is worth it

[@GearGasms]

It’s definitely worth it’s price. It’s a fun little amp. Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks

[@brianphelps1183]

Who cares about the amp!! Nice PRS you got there. I saw a nice Custom 24 today at a store. Where I dropped one of my Strats off for some work. Amp doesn’t sound that bad. Would be good for traveling. I play wrong on purpose all the time 😂.

[@GearGasms]

Yeah I’m not even close to being worthy of it but it has come with multiple hugs from Paul himself. Probably because he feels sorry for me. Lol

[@brianphelps1183]

@@GearGasms I love my CE24 but I would definitely trade for that Custom. I am not worthy of any of mine. Self taught on guitar for the last 2 years but played drums for years.

[@GearGasms]

I’m the opposite- self taught drummer!

[@JpMoneywayy]

can you add a pedal to this?

[@GearGasms]

Sure - I did it in the video

[@rexgeorg7324]

sorry Alan.... size matters

[@GearGasms]

That’s what she said!

[@Mr2greys]

Ah but do you do Boomer bends? ;)

[@GearGasms]

I can try!
