I HAD to sell one of my favorite amps......Here's Why

[@dirtyworks8084]

I want a Mezza - Eric Steckel.

[@artsal]

If you are a gear head like me. You buy and sell all of the time. Sold my Herbert and my vh4 to buy an slo and a les Paul

[@realtruenorth]

can't go wrong with a SLO and a Les Paul

[@HugoWelti]

I appreciate the honesty in your channel, man.

[@TheGorillafoot]

I totally hear you on the gear sitting around. What's cool is when you sell stuff you got more room to get new stuff.

[@Tomcat82]

Part of having GAS is to acquire as many amps of the same delicious flavor as you can with the genuine intention of determining which sounds best in an amp battle royale. Then once you've picked your favorite, totally renege on the promise you made to yourself to sell the others and just keep them all anyway.

[@nomadronin7361]

You absolutely nailed it with this comment!

[@shortyguitarplayer]

I understand, Trinity is way more versatile and has almost identical tone to M Zero. I am also planning to get Trinity in the future, but for my needs now, i own Skill 30 that waiting for master 2 mod at Mezzabarba. Can't wait to be done 😄 Few month ago, i sold Bogner Uberschall. I liked it very much but there was never place for that amp in any of my bands.

[@screwmerunnin]

I have a Trinity and I can't recommend it enough. Wish I'd have known about your Uberschall; I've always wanted one of those.

[@shortyguitarplayer]

I got the trinity 100w EL34 in the meantime 😎 Still use skill 30 more because i don't need 100w in most situations but Trinity is the best amp i've ever played.

[@RsSquier51]

It's a fun addiction. I get it totally. It's hard to let some of the gear go but you need to from time to time.

[@offthebooksmusic]

I bought your Carvin Legacy 412 off you a few weeks ago and I've been binging your videos since! Keep it up dude!

[@seandempseymusic]

I have been purging gear recently, especially guitars. Over the past few years I bought a ton of (awesome) guitars but a lot of them essentially did the same thing so I sold all the ones that were completely redundant. I'm actually still working on selling guitars. I would probably hoard more gear if I had space for it (and financial ability to do so - a lot of the things I like cost quite a bit of money so it's probably a good thing that I'm forced to consolidate my gear collection). Anyways, as always appreciate the candid video with utmost transparency!

[@TheStinkyDinkyBand]

"I'm selling one of my favorite amps... Let's do it!" lol

[@queenspleen353]

I definitely have the same problem lol. I’m currently agonizing over which of my guitars and amps to sell. I have to sell about 7-8 pieces of gear. The worst one is whether to sell my modded JCM900 MKIII or my Splawn Pro Stock. The Marshall is old and so special, but I like the functionality and range of tones I can get out of the Splawn a little better. I know I could find another Splawn, but the Marshall is one of a kind. If only money grew on trees. T_T

[@mazklassa9338]

Have you tried shitting gold bars? ☺

[@randyblankenship8781]

I know the feeling to a lesser degree I had a 6l6 EVH 5153 and the Stealth version. I sold the 6l6 version and now I am looking for something a little different. I have the EVH Stealth and a KSR Orthos mk2.

[@BradRocker]

Well now maybe you can get that Wizard.

[@josephbutler148]

The channel switching in the head is the exact reason I bought the new SLO over the Eric Steckel M Zero! If your listening Pierangelo add the channel switch buttons on the amp!!!

[@andrew_prometheus]

Much love bro!! My homie copped something off you today and send me your channel, you know yo gear!!

[@paulbeharrell]

Can’t argue with your logic Kyle! You’ve really raised the awareness of these Italian masterpieces - the Trinity is my Holy Grail amp thanks to you! Cheers 🤘🏻😎🎸

[@traceyoungs1637]

I absolutely get it! I need to purge redundant gear as well…. This video helped remind me of that👍

[@PippPriss]

I have this constantly and I am currently in a stupid gear acquisition phase where I am "greedy" for more, even if it does not make any sense. I cannot think about anything else than the next thing to check out/test, but I do not want to shell out the money unreasonably. I am absolutely underslept due to my mind constantly spinning around the stuff I read and information I absorb as well. And it's not only guitar gear - also like tools, soldering irons, guitar related PCBs, Cameras for streaming etc. Fucked up currently. I gotta calm my stupid mind very soon. 😀 Alone while typing this I felt incredibly stupid for letting this stuff rule my mind so much.

[@TruthCode77]

I feel you man. I’ve made Duvells, Regius’, Tremontis, Nick Johnston Schecters, MIJ ESPs, etc. It’s so hard to keep the GAS under control.

[@ukmanthailand]

Yeah, don't feel stupid man. I do exactly the same thing. It's a modern disease brought on by the Internet I think. I waste hours researching how to maintain and mod amps, then hours more looking at all the tools I need and trying to find them locally. I buy guitars because I can't resist the look or sound of them, even though I know when they arrive and I play them, I'm going to sound just like I do on all my other guitars. I find myself scrolling through forums, review sites and online stores until 3,4 or 5 in the morning sometimes.

[@chrispoints4554]

Made the mistake of watching this with my wife around and had to walk back the whole "redundant gear" talk right quick lol

[@prestonbowden1008]

Yea that thing sounds phenomenal. Considering it’s clarity and mid punch I bet for someone like me who down tunes it would be really great

[@mooncritter721]

I just bought a Schecter sun valley super shredder with the Emg`s and the sustainiac pickup and I will NEVER SELL this guitar. In fact I want it buried with me when I die. This guitar is so fun and so good that I can`t say enough about it. I would suggest that you be an experienced guitarist before buying one because you have to know your stuff about floyd rose tremolos and setting up guitars before this one will satisfy. I bought it from Amazon and it needed to be set up. Once it was, I was blown away by the perfection that this guitar truly is. If you buy it from Sweetwater, they will set it up for you but you still have to be familiar with floating tremolos before you get one. Everyone knows that the floating trems are tricky to work with. If you have never owned a floating bridge system before you will not be happy with the adjustments that come with it. I love it and encourage any shredder to try one. You will wonder how you ever got by without one.

[@anandgarde13]

Makes complete sense. You have two of the same amp and are keeping the one that has more functionality. Same idea as anyone that got rid of their 6505s because they got an Invective, like myself.

[@anthonypayne5628]

Good vid brother! It's enjoyable to hear you just doing a talk video. I think it's one reason your live streams are successful. The Q & A's etc..

[@AndriiHryhoriev]

I have one friend that trying a lot of things and sells everything he doesn't need immediately. It so good habit

[@sqrly2u]

I have been talking with the folks at Armored. I really really want to own the Sabot!!!

[@michaelgallegos8811]

Wish I could buy it man! I am waiting on Peavy 6505II ! ITS not available yet.

[@yeti1002]

Hey Michael gallegos , that peavey 6505 ll your waiting for . Is the peavey 6505 still manufactured in china ? How's the built quality compared to the past USA built 5150 and the past 6505 's

[@michaelgallegos8811]

I understand there are some improvements on these new models coming out ,as u probably know 6505 and 6505 + are discontinued so I hope to get one of the upgraded series ,Kyle did excellent review on the 6505II, there was tube shortage so let's hope we can see some kind of normalcy soon.I understand that these new amps will ship soon according to my sales engineer Keith Klikas at Sweetwater look him up he knows alot of stuff man trust me..

[@yeti1002]

@@michaelgallegos8811 thanks for the info. 👍

[@nomadronin7361]

I tend to do this with both amps and guitars. If I find a guitar I love I try to horde them as well. I get the same question from other musicians; “why so many of the same guitar?” Because that’s what I like to play! In my mind I think why play something different when I like the other one better?

[@andreazampieri5513]

Good choice man! Too much similar gear is not so useful ! As an italian guitarist I can just suggest you to try another Italian high gain monster: RedSeven Leviathan! Same amp used by John Browne from Monuments…

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Bummer love mine. I have considered selling mine and my Uberschall to fund a new Diezel Herbert and ENGL Savage. Leaning toward the hardcore German modern metal and Mesa sound.

[@lowqualityguitarvideos]

3:24 to get to the explanation ;). Saving up for a 30(?) watt Mezzabarba I think

[@Demonik44]

i wish i could keep all the amp i have the chance to try , but always have to follow the budget . so i never keep more than 4 amps at a time .

[@Boogieplex]

As an avid amp collector, I have an insatiable desire to collect amplifiers. But then I realize i have too many and sell them. But then i feel i miss them or don’t have enough..so I purchase more…SOMETIMES THE VERY SAME AMPS I ALREADY SOLD. It can be a vicious cycle, so I keep a strict rule of 2 heads, 2 cabs,2 combos and 1 desk top. Currently they are: 1 Splawn Nitro 1 Splawn Quick Rod 1 Quilter Aviator UK cub 1 Peavey Bandit 1 Yama THRX Guitars are another story…. Never enough.

[@elwarofficial]

My bro just got something off of you and sent me this page - you’re killin shit bro!! Love the channel

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

Everytime I decide to sell something because I don't use it often enough, I give it a test just to make sure it works ok and almost everytime I go "Shit... I can't sell this. This is too cool". So props for pulling it off. And not playing it again in this video? Smort!

[@oli_ctu]

Your reasons are totally valid man. Why keeping 2 amps that can sound the same. They take ALOT of space and are expensive!

[@GOTHKINGU]

sell or buy whatever whenever your want kyle. haters hate usually means your doing something right.

[@JDUBBY08]

Get a Wizard MTL 100 dude!

[@JCDenton6]

I came into this vid expecting bad news, but I'm glad it was a good reason for letting it go (the functionality) as it's a killer amp along with the trinity!

[@Horcruxxx-xn1ej]

sick Shockwave shirt kyle 🤘🏼

[@michaelgallegos8811]

what a great sounding amp Kyle wow !

[@yeti1002]

You know Kyle , I like this amp mazzabarba . It sounds brutal , tight . What amp compares to this M-zero ?

[@timhollin2342]

Will you tell us why you wipe back to front next?

[@andybungert]

I currently have 3 fender deluxe reverb amps and a fender Princeton. All similar but each have different speakers and tolex. I need to ditch at least two of them and keep the other two for a stereo rig. It's hard. I get it

[@Eliphas_Elric]

I have to fight the urge to buy a Fryette Deliverance. I'm happy with my Pittbull. It sounds perfect for me. Never played an amp I loved more. But I want the Deliverance.

[@Ortizjan2227]

I do the same with guitars but lately the market is ass 😪

[@matttaylor1449]

TLDR You basically, BASICALLY, have two of the same amp and only need one. The slightly better one.

[@DJ33]

Don’t think I’ve seen vid like this before. Hats off to ya Thrash.

[@juddrizzo]

Holy Shit! Mezzabarba Trinity head is $4 G G GRAND?!?!?

[@Frankentoane]

Serious question, how do you stack your amp heads that high? Im 5'11" and I find it a bit hard to carry a 100w amp head when the height exceeds my neck. Do you use a ladder or just jack up your shoulders for overhead lifting? Haha

[@rottingcorpse6002]

That's exactly how I wound up with too many amps.

[@TheStinkyDinkyBand]

I have the same problem too. Wanna be roommates or play karate in the garage?

[@smeemusic]

4:00 e34l's lmfao. Its okay i have a dumb question... what exactly is a negative feedback filter. This is a term I've only heard of in the past couple years. Still haven't done research. Figured I could just ask here.

[@K707OR30]

“Still haven’t done research” yes evidently not. Otherwise you’d know e34L tubes are a thing.

[@belligerentamateur]

What's funny about E34L tubes? They're rad, I prefer them to EL34

[@smeemusic]

@@belligerentamateur ......SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. LMFAO okay nope never seen e34l. So let me just slowly back away into the bushes and try to not land my head in the same hole in the ground. The more I watch this channel, the more I learn about tubes. I've been running tube heads for over 20 years and thought I had it figured out. But hey I'm not scared to learn! I suppose that's partly why I'm subbed here.

[@normanvename4404]

Bruh you looked so genuinely sad in the beginning I felt bad. At least you're getting a fair price and you have the Trinity still. At least you didn't spiral out of control with drugs like I did and sell all of your precious gear for a FRACTION of its worth because you needed heroin. I've since got clean and built up a new collection of gear(my new habit and equally expensive) but I still kick myself. Not necessarily for what I lost but why I lost it in the first place. Love your channel bro.

[@michaelgallegos8811]

great video man u always have good content man always !!

You lasted a heck of a lot longer than I did. I took mine back within 3 days. 😂

[@Defleshuary]

Dude, that Shockwave shirt is AWESOME! Shame this video has to be made considering the nature of the page. Nice sell of the Trinity. Seems a big majority of us musician's DO LOVE collecting the same thing. Did I need 3 HM-2 style pedals? A brief second, I thought no and sold some. I regret it because I now have a different setup that would work better with some of them.

[@TVoltG]

Damn I want a MEZZABARBA.. badly

[@OnionMilk420]

That outro though lol 😆

[@robthebear2850]

NOOOOOO!!!! Sorry, projecting about all the great gear I've sold over the years - though I still have more than I need. Hmm. Yeah, better you than me.

[@draper858]

I feel like it’s a never ending search for tone….. if I can just improve my tone by five percent then maybe I’ll be satisfied.? Lol. Don’t feel guilt bro. Many of us have g.a.s.

[@lbonvillain-wm4ds]

DUMB bro. U gonna switch to cleans in your hardcore band?… Do u bro. I definitely feel the “too much gear” thing tho. Had to purge myself not too recently of about 6 guitars

[@belligerentamateur]

What if I am? What if I'm going to do more than just hardcore? I'm literally selling the less functional version of the amp that I have 2 of, how is that dumb?

[@prestonbowden1008]

Makes sense to sell it though when you have the other, so I feel you. I also get the redundancy thing though. The absolute only reason I wouldn’t sell that here would simply be just in case the other one ever went down during a show that said you’ve got plenty of amps so as expensive as those are yeah I get selling it

[@BXGuitars]

Are you trying to tell me that having a JCM800 and then having a ton of other amps that are based on the JCM800 is a bad thing? Blasphemy I tell you. 😆 The question is will the regret video come next year? 🤔 Sometimes you gotta move on though and I can understand that completely.
