Sounds great, but, not like a marshall, wampler, friedman, randall, or a mesa boogie...etc...and, it is made in China. We need to boycott as many chinese goods as possible. Do you hear me, Sweetwater?!?

This guy is such a Gem! You can see his Passion and Joy for playing. Gibson/Epiphone along with Blackstar Amps scored with having Jared as an Ambassador.

[@granap]

I can't imagine anyone being more American than this guy

[@DatMetalBoi75]

Billy F Gibbons from ZZTop?

[@therangersinger]

That is the first Epiphone I have ever considered buying.

[@MoParbeast65]

therangersinger I just got one a month ago and I can’t put it down. Love the chunky neck and that P90 tone. First les Paul I enjoyed playing.

[@blackysalamanka]

There are better. Just need a decent guitar, the rest is up to you.

[@joncollins2808]

blacky salamanka couldn’t agree more with this comment. Everyone wants a 2grand flashy guitar none of that crap matters you need a good solid guitar and like you said the rest is up to you

[@ahiwalter9153]

Epi doesn’t get enough credit for their openness with artist, I love that they do the quirky shapes & pickup/electronic configurations these artist really connect with & use.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Ultra nice dude, met him at a guitar clinic 31/05/2019. Superb musician and a complete gentleman.

[@diegojRiera]

Greatest guitar center clerk ever

[@chrisf6216]

Thank you SW / JJN / AV folks! Fantastic demo - wow! I'm inspired by JJN's excitement, positivity, genuity, honestly, and of course talent! Wishing much well deserved successes to all involved, thank you.

[@sweetwater]

Thanks, Chris! 😊👍

[@1upfx281]

I wasn't familiar with Jared but damn can that dude play! Really digging the Blackstar as well. I could see one of those in my studio :)

[@robmyers9666]

I had the pleasure of seeing JJN in Lebanon, NH at a small venue opening for John 5. I hadn't heard of JJN, and I was blown away. If you've not seen him you need to. This was his rig, and right after that show I began looking at Blackstar amps. They sound terrific.

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

I'm happy to say that the future of guitar is in good hands! There's a lot of great young people playing guitar, just not on commercial radio unfortunately.....

[@selliantuttimusi6735]

Unfortunately? Why would you care about them passing on commercial radio?

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

@@selliantuttimusi6735 I believe that commercial radio passes on them, and that's unfortunate for us. The commercial stations think guitar based music stopped being made in the 90's it seems.

@@selliantuttimusi6735 I'm sorry, i misunderstood the question. I don't care about the corporations that own all the stations, I guess I'm just missing the album rock stations of my youth. Radio didn't always suck.

[@jurgrehsteiner9754]

Jared James Nichols is a fantastic player. The living proof that the sound comes straight from the fingers.

[@pearlexport32]

I seen him perform last Saturday night in Chicago and he was great! After his set he and his band were meeting with the audience during the set change. Love this guys style!

[@lisalove9637]

One pickup,ten fingers and a humongous talent with the Blackstar to kick it all out this dude is unbelievable

[@ortomanvintage]

I bought the Blackstar JJN, the best studio / home amp I've ever had!

[@danielmazur940]

Luigi Albertelli I’m thinking of buying it for Christmas, what do you love about it? Is there any negatives?

[@ortomanvintage]

you do very well thinking about it! I am very happy to have it. because you can play at 2W (you can play with 2 or 20 w) without losing the sound impact. for the voice effect, which is a boost for the clean channel and overdrive (blues power). I find it a versatile 3 valve amp with an excellent 2x12 "cabinet. the only negative is that there is no possibility to put the amp on stand by.

[@Angelrat666]

A hell of a player. Love his tone from the start.

[@baroidrig1435]

Love this guys playing. His enthusiasm is infectious. Ok maybe I could have chosen a better description right now - but you know what I mean.

[@joeykelly5642]

Absolutely no clue who this guy is, but damn, he has some great taste when it comes to gear! Even better, it's totally unique from what's currently on the market. I wouldn't mind getting this set at all.

[@nicolaspaglialunga462]

Oh my god, what a fingers tone!!!

[@bozeeke]

Cool he's got his own amp now too. This guy's a good artist. I've heard him play before.

[@guydouglas6094]

Playing with fingers only can give a lot of tones too! Absolutely love that sound and your aggressive playing without not 'tearing-paint-of-the wall' volume. Very good idea on the removable back panel on cab.

[@soundknight]

I'm with you Jarred, I love mixing speakers.

[@charliemckeever3192]

I saw jjn twice supporting Glen Hughes first then supporting Walter trout.. very cool blues rock style.. Brilliant axe and and amp complements each other definitely.. 👏👏brilliant 👍

[@ajaykumargoel9398]

That amp sounds beautiful, and it's got a cool colour to boot!

[@hearpalhere]

Never heard of this guy before but will definitely be checking out his stuff. I really dug his playing and style. The guitar looks great too with one pickup!

[@johndial1929]

I bought the guitar, just waiting for it to get in stock and be delivered! Just have to wait till august, I am hoping it turns out as great as I hope it is

[@frantisca]

Jared is a blues beast... and such a nice guy ! Rock on \m/

[@franckrichard8077]

I am amazed by the tone he has at 1:54 with a bridge PU... I own a Supro Ozark, very similar in concept, and it sounds huge too, with just a single PU at the bridge.

[@MyTube4Utoo]

Great sounding amp, and a fantastic player!!

[@Jonathan-L]

Yes, I can hear the variation in tones with the different knob settings on the guitar, but Jared sounds best when he's got it cranked right up loud :)

[@JDMusicTV19]

I wish i can have one. Can't afford tho. Great playing JJN.

[@brucer261]

Great stuff Jared!! Keep rockin man!

[@johnnyguitar65]

I have the head and cab and they are fantastic. I sold my Marshall DSL because I just never played it much anymore. Just a warm and rich sounding tube amp. Very versatile. It's not a screaming high gain metal amp...you will need a OD pedal for that.....but for just straight up heavy hard rock and blues, just plug straight in and let it rip.

[@bigman12583]

What a great guy, so much talent unbelievable much love

This amp any good for metal??

[@guitarocd9984]

I would bet his personal guitar has jumbo frets. The medium Jumbo's must be for the masses.

[@jdb2722]

The key to the best p90 tone is using a noise gate pedal. If you want this guitar, buy a noise gate to go with it if you don’t have one yet.

[@XterraRon]

Is there a lefty version?

[@stephengates7601]

Love it

[@thomasraven]

Really like the guitar. I just wish it didn't have that emblem on the front.

[@reminisce0208]

Thomas Kirby it has screws holding it down. You can easily remove the emblem or modify it to put your own. For me its the signature on the guitar that bugs me 🤷‍♂️

[@Turboy65]

I've literally never heard of this guy, not ever, not once. Why would he get a signature model? That being said, he's a good player.

I don;t know who you are but if there's ever a biopic about you, TJ Miller should play you.

[@vhcxhbvg]

Weird to think he thinks like Phil X and also was on Fretted Americana, got his own signature, demos his ideology for the tone knob with American Woman etc

[@tocadolly2197]

Never trust a man with a P90 - he knows too much! What a great pickup.

[@sideparting6845]

ISF tone control = Marshall tilt control from origin 20? Great sounding anyway, beautiful Epiphone with the custom headstock and finish

[@sideparting6845]

@Mustafa Adaoglu Ok thanks, didn't realise. Thanks

[@danielradakovic938]

Nah man isf is British to American tone structure and changes the reverb do some research

[@guitarocd9984]

ISF is a fancy word for a tone control.

[@danielradakovic938]

@@guitarocd9984 it's not tone control it is bias control for British vs American amp sounds. 10 is more British woody and open. 1 is more American and compressed like a fender amp overdriven or with more gain it is mid scooped like 6505

Tilt control is newer than isf. Marshall and blackstar arent the same company just so you know

[@tannersparrow5588]

Is it your signature guitar? Just take the plate off and put the screws back in the holes after removing it, no harm done.

[@TaylorPanczak]

Lmao poor man's wha wha

[@WVXL64]

Always thought it was funny how these artists put their names on and talk up their Epiphone signature guitars, but then play Gibson Custom Shops. If their signature Epi is so good, why don't they play them themselves? And I'm not knocking Epiphone, I have several.

[@yobhsiFehT]

Spoiler alert: the bundle saves you $80 🤷🏼‍♂️ lol Seriously cool new pieces, tho. I would not say no to that Les Paul 👍🏻👍🏻
