[@jimmypinch]

I can see that Orange tiny amp getting flung across the stage when you trip on your cable.

[@zuksam7568]

jimmypinch You'd really need to bolt it down either to your pedal board or to the speaker cab. The Tiny Terror sounds great but it's a one trick pony (one sound) and as this video shows it really isn't loud enough to play with a band on stage (in this video the drummer was trying very hard to play softly). The tiny terror would be nice as a practice head so you wouldn't have to replace the tubes in your 50-100 watt tube head as often but there are a lot of better choices in 150-300 dollar combo amps.

[@jimmypinch]

cool thanks for posting

[@TheGrundigg]

zuksam To be honest, my friend played in O2 arena and filled it completly with his micro terror plugged into a 4x12 marshal cab, it looked ridiculous standing next to a huge mesa rectified stacks next to it from the other band. But the sound was incredible and loud enough for the whole of O2 :)

[@jimmypinch]

Even Billy Gibbons uses a tiny amp, but it's hidden around the back! lol

[@zuksam7568]

jimmypinch I'm sure Billy's amp is miked then run through the PA but so are most bands these days no matter how big or small their amps are, it doesn't matter if your amp is 5watts or 200 if it's miked through a PA. It's all about sound quality and everything gets run through the sound booth and the sound guy runs the mixer like an extra band member to keep the levels correct. He turns mics, guitars, bass, or drums volume up or down on the fly to match the other instruments to best replicate the sound of the studio recordings that the fans are used to, in a large venue a good sound guy who knows the songs as well as the band does is the difference between sounding like crap or sounding awesome.

[@andrewchapman5301]

+ItalyNerf hahaha

[@miked7295]

I tried my first Squier Telecaster on a huge Marshall amp today. I was overwhelmed about how good it sounded. So I asked the employee if I could try the Telecaster on the same amp as I have (Line 6 Spider IV 15), and it sounded, well... not as well as I thought. Idk if my amp is one of the worst Line 6 Spider amps but what happened today really opened my eyes. I really need a better amp.

[@ItalyNerf]

Line 6 Spiders aren't that good, the drive channel completely sucks.

[@miked7295]

ItalyNerf I usually just use the crunch channel, turn the overdrive complete up and then turn the tone on my guitar to zero so I'll get a nice crunchy, full bluesy tone. But besides that I don't really like the sound. You got any suggestions for a good amp that's like $200-$500,-?

[@RulZGame]

When Chappers plays an orange it sounds f*ckin' GOOD. When I play one, it sounds muddy and dark as fuck.

[@RobChappers]

Use lots of mid dude ;-)

[@SirBender]

Rob Chapman it´s always the mids ;) great playing rob! ich love your fingers :D

[@RulZGame]

Rob Chapman Hey, thanks for the response you're one of my idols :D As simple as your answer sounds, I've never really tweaked the knobs on orange amps. I usually just plug in and play without messing with the details and assumed that they're pretty muddy (dark les pauls didn't help either). I'm gonna try some terrors on monday.

[@sexyworm1000]

Rob Chapman hey rob growing up I've always loved all kinds of music. I'm a blues player but I'm actually the lead guitarist in a metalcore band I have a vox vt40+ now it has a great thrash metal sound and glorious cleans but I can't seem to get a good alternative/metalcore sound. Any tips or help?

[@Guitars77OA6]

Rob Chapman It would be interesting to see an Orange Amps Tips and Tricks video for the best tone.

More Top Gear-like challenges like this one please. Or like the customized guitar challenge one. Maybe a challenge where everything you use has to be second-hand/used. You could buy it off the internet or pawn shop or wherever else you can get used guitars and equipment. And you can make a budget of X amount of money. These types of challenges are awesome because when you combine Top Gear with guitars you get...Top..Geartar?..My point is this is great content. I'm sure many people would agree.

[@MrStephenlederle]

This really speaks volumes about how good and how far amp technology has come in the last 20 years. When I started playing guitar the only options for affordable amps were the Crate and Randall amps that were way too shitty or loud for a novice. I love that Blackstar.

[@palehorseoftheapocalypse4366]

I know, right? I'm a metalhead, and I have a Micro Dark and I'm going to get a 4x12 for about 250 or so and that makes me get a gigging rig that'll work for medium venues for less than 500.

[@RaynP]

Steve L This really speaks....VOLUMES

[@michaeljenkins9052]

Steve L what's wrong with crate? or are you thinking of creation models? because I have a crate gfx65 112 combo, and it's pretty decent

[@juanfichtl2011]

Steve L with all due respect, I just got a mid 80s Marshall lead 12 and that little amp smokes a lot of modern budget amps. Not very versatile thought.

[@LuciFernato]

Pale Horse of the Apocalypse duuuuuuddeeeee, exactly the same, the micro dark seems to sound the best loud esp. through a 4x12 yea

[@bobnotrealnameman307]

fucking impossible. even if thats only 1 guitar, a bass, and a drumset; and that's not even including misc. things like straps and strings and drumsticks and cords etc.

[@shaunbose9539]

Bob NotRealNameMan I'm sure that strings straps etc wasn't included in this video and you can get a decent pair of stick for like 4 pounds but they don't have to be included either just guitars drum amps

[@SamWall]

shaun bose that's a simple pa system and instruments... Couple of 12" pa speakers for eg the box PA302s and a powered mixer ends up about £550 sound wise for everything but drums that could be used acousticly

[@shaunbose9539]

So they can do it and it should sound great

[@SamWall]

shaun bose if you can get a vocal mic, guitar, bass and drums etc for about £1500 in theory I would think so

[@godfatherNYC]

I just did this challenge again, "shopping" _online_ and was damn pleased with the results! I "scored" a Bugera 6262 2x12 combo amp, with 120 watts of *tube* power for *$279.99!* That left quite a bit for a cheap guitar and I chose an ESP LTD Viper-100FM Electric Guitar See-Thru Black, basically a black ESP "SG," for *$299!* This put me at a total of USD $578.99 so I'd probably go about $60 over budget by buying a nice Delay Pedal- a Boss DD-3 for $129. (Or if I *absolutely* couldn't go over budget, I'd get a Behringer Delay pedal or similar, for like $40.) I have better gear than this in real life, but this was still fun!!!

[@MrWhiteguy6]

[@vincentadriaanse2032]

[@couchcamperTM]

I am envious, stuff is so cheap where you live.

[@xBleuGuyx]

[@1999Dman1]

xBleuGuyx Can not agree more. Even with my small amount of experience u did manage to knock off around 100 quid from an epiphone lp custom pro.

[@rabbitspliff]

Even if it's more expensive over here, that combination from Anderton's according to their website... they don't have Epi LP Jr.'s, but you could get an Epi LP Special VE, with the Orange Crush and Crybaby, and still be £100 below budget for this challenge.

[@timkleinbussink3820]

This is absolutely the best Andertons video. It got me hooked on you guys when I first started playing. Its a fun practical challenge. They look at lots of different guitars and amps, and they achieve good results in two completely different ways. I knew nothing about guitars beyond my beginner guitar and practice amp. This video opened the door to the hobby for me. Would love to see a redux or more like it.

[@mattchurchill]

That dude playing drums on the 'Mr Big' jam at the end was awesome. Great vid guys ;-)

[@andy25794]

LOVE these long videos. Great banter.

[@joshmiller251]

I tell you what, I love coming back to this and hearing Rabea's drumming. Because it's fantastic. He's great! I already knew he could play the drums, but it's just refreshing hearing him play in this video, because the playing at the end is very stripped back; both the guitar and drums are kind of stripped back, but it really brings out the beauty in their playing, simple as it is, and it's really inspiring. Makes me want to drum again. Love you Chappers, Captain, and Bea.

[@Baloshz]

Amazing video ! Thx u for the jam and the fun ! You guys rock !

[@RevShitstorm]

[@orlock20]

Ibanez GSR205SM 229 pounds Ashdown RM-MAG 210T350W 2x10" 229 pounds The 42 pounds left could be used to buy picks, a stand and cable.

[@RevShitstorm]

You might want an amplifier to go with that cab.

[@orlock20]

RevShitstorm I thought it was a combo. The TC Electronic BG250 208 is a combo that goes for 249 pounds and still within the budget.

[@RevShitstorm]

Yeah I'm looking into getting one of those myself though I'm still unsure as to whether that's enough speaker coverage for that kind of wattage. I won't try starting an argument about the GSR. :P

[@wiziek]

RevShitstorm You could buy it, it is nearly same price or even cheaper then stand alone head. You can always remove thought though at loss of warranty, only thing you loose are small legs for head. Or just get a combo but then you loose option of using more then included speakers.

I was expecting a bassist to walk in on the jam at the end. It was getting so magical, haha!

[@mcFreaki]

i have to say that the tiny terror/amp/x combo sounds fucking amazing.

[@Satch7699]

I really like this format for the videos. Bring back the pub banter!

[@MrLauwersJelle]

Your videos are hilarious yet very interesting. Thanks Rob!

[@Jeremy-yr8yg]

I live in the U.S. and I want an Andertons T shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@drdre4397]

How come 2014 looks and feels like 20 years ago... time flies

[@theclinger]

Chap my man! I gotta express my love for these kind of videos where you and the Captain compete. They're really fun and help out guys like me who have no idea what we're doing. Thanks to Andertons and the staff for making it possible. Cheers from an American who does not have the skill or money to drop on a real rig yet, but does hope to pick up a Chapman in the distant future.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

I really enjoy the jam. And the videos too. You got yourself a new subscriber !

[@Friek555]

Ok, I'm going to make some enemies here. Solid state amps can sound really good.

[@samuelwaydark8051]

Meh, we have our opinions. I agree with you, though.

[@terran236]

+Friek555 agreed, the crush pro is a good example. As fluff (ryan bruce) said solid states sound shit most of the time because of the shitty speakers they are paired with. Simply because they [people] expect solid states to be cheap. So its a vicious circle.

[@Wren6991]

+Friek555 I totally agree. A lot of the mythology surrounding tube amplifiers stems from A. comparing expensive tube amps to cheap solid states and B. compare using different speakers. That's how we ended up with the "tube watts are louder than transistor watts" nonsense

[@hellNo116]

they can and they do. however that's for live as they said in the video. what valves have going for them is higher volume with no distortion. that what the gave you. also the tone is sth to take into consideration especially for records

[@ericnli]

1. Get any guitar you want. 2. Get an amp sim. 3. Play through their PA system.

[@spool29k97]

Yea i've been gigging with my guitar, positive grid bias, and a cheap peavey pa, and it is so versitile and still cuts like a tube amp.

[@FairlyUnknown]

I don't know what places you go to but a lot of places I used to play didn't even have mics... lol

[@glizzgoblin]

I play guitar in my attic, alone, out of an MG10.

[@spool29k97]

***** Get positive grid Bias and tweak till you find the sound you are looking for.

[@mitchell2719]

***** Bias isn't! And there's gonna be a plug-in version soon :D

[@thomasjames8277]

This one and the customized guitar challenge were awesome! Must have been a ton of fun to make! I really like these budget challenges that force you to be creative with limited resources, because it's what a lot of us probably have to do!

[@arnouldc82]

After so long..It is still One of the best andertons videos ever, that raw jam, the journey to get there with the coffee break , etc etc👍

[@armisis]

I'd like to see what Andertons comes up with for 500pound Gig Bundles. :)

[@dylanthibodeau6758]

That is a brilliant idea

[@yesto9676]

+GamingWithShivi thomann?

[@ebbulk]

Rob and Lee go topgear again! Love these videos!

[@iTrove]

Just spent a long needed day off, beautiful 75 degree and light breeze.. indoors watching your videos. perfect!

[@MikeJames-dr3xy]

That was incredible, and that drummer dude at the end kills it man.

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

What a great challenge.. No winner imo. Just watching you guys pick your rig was awesome :)

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

I take it back.. The winner is Blackstar :)

[@martynraymond211]

Carsten Olsen Blackstar all the way!

[@tradeka4206]

Rob is so funny. "I will eat my own spleen" I was laughing so hard

[@danielgomezdelrio8851]

It's always a great pleasure to see you playing together.

[@TheAznian]

I love this battle right in the middle of the shop!

[@biohzrd1x1]

do a new cheap rig challenge please

[@jamietotten239]

Hopefully getting my first guitar tomorrow. So excited

[@A9eeloH.99]

Which guitar did you went with??

[@TheLegendaryGerbil]

How’d it turn out 4 years later?

[@calebthompson550]

The Legendary Gerbil I was just wondering the same thing

[@williamb4652]

Jamie Totten Hi Jamie, I hope it went well and that you are still playing!

[@rosshorne4769]

This video fills my new found skintness with hope, both set ups sound great

[@Twocoinsbarber]

One of the best videos I've watched in a while of you guys 😂

[@mattsworld7943]

Awesome! Chappers even manages to get Jim Kelly and Enter the Dragon into his quest :D respect! \m/ £500 is a great starting budget, it's all I had a few years back to start with. Peavey was my weapon of choice back then as a bass player. Still have both the amp and bass, they've served me well in many a pub gig and open mike night :D It's never been a better time for a budget like this. So much cool stuff around now as well as classic rigs, when you're budget grows.

[@noobpower96]

I'd say do another one but without a strict money limit. Just a really solid rig as cheap as you can.

[@hypebeast852]

I LOVE YALLS CHANNEL YALL ARE SO GREAT GUITAR PLAYERS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK👌✌

[@andyfeenix3606]

Great job on this one guys!

[@Machinehead18]

Damn I always love the Captain's tone and playing, great guitar player! If I had to choose I'd go with Captain's setup for sure.

[@llamaofvinter5801]

Great challenge, nice to see a bit of creativity and free form. I did think though that the Squier and Blackstar sounded better than the Kelly/ Orange combo, so Cap wins the challenge in my humble opinion. Shay be cray cray tho.... Nice to see more of these videos where it's a challenge, you could do themed videos where the challenge is to create the best amp guitar combo for different music genres. Metal mashups, smooth blues battles, funky funk face-offs, rock'n'roll riots, acoustic....errrrr attacks? etc. etc. I love seeing you guys showcase guitars that people can afford, for example I prefer the videos where the guitar is usually under a grand, because that to me is the line for acceptable prices before reaching into "something special" territory. There are so many high end guitars that are not necessarily custom shop build level but higher tier than the mid range guitars. It would be great to see some of them showcased as well. Great video as always, allowances for creativity and fun face-offs, who doesn't like a bit of competition now and then? Rock on!

[@charliealexander5197]

That was a really fun video to watch.

[@way2sh0rt07grad]

You can't go wrong with Orange. The tones they have are just fantastic

[@theflyinggiant]

what's the chord progression they're playing towards the end? starts at around 31:00

[@anonwhathaveyoudone5127]

I really enjoyed listening to you guys just jam at the end of the video. You should do that more often, like if you ever just get together and jam in your free time, pull out a camera and post the result. I'd watch the shit out of that.

[@AlaskanPipelineable]

The music at the end made me smile...oh, and the drinking at the beginning too!

[@jamontoast7584]

loving the jam session at the end🤘
