Was fortunate enough to stop by the KSR Facility, and meet the crew behind the scenes!
Kyle gave me a shop tour, and a nice in depth interview inside his beginnings as an amp builder, growing the company, and designs unique to KSR! Hope you guys enjoy!

Kyles bringin his channel some great videos!!! Keep watching and let’s do our part to help it grow!!!!

[@duck2587]

KSR has the best 4x12 on the market. Makes all of my amps sound that much better. No bullshit. It’s my go to.

[@christopherward4671]

Watching this in parts for the second time. You’re a natural interviewer Kyle, which is rare. This was an intelligent and coherent interview and I am impressed.

[@markgooch1715]

I played the Ceres today: best pedal I’ve ever played. I want an Ares now. Great interview!

[@belligerentamateur]

They're truly insane for a pedal man. Blown Away

[@geraldrauch1701]

that waz really cool of the two kyles!!! very informative and entertaining...thanx guys!!!

[@belligerentamateur]

Haha, thanks for checking it out man. It was a good time for me, can't speak for the other Kyle though, hahaha

[@jconner3891]

Love my KSR 2/12. Massive sounding. V30 75 cream back.

[@jamesryder9158]

Kyle is the Ritchie Cunningham of Metal!!!

[@voodoocustompickups2547]

Excellent interview.. KSR is great. Kyle is a cool guy

[@KPGuitarStudios]

Really cool interview and awesome to get out there and chat direct with some of these great companies. Kickass content

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks man! Was a great time for me and awesome opportunity. Kyle and crew were very gracious to let me in!

[@KPGuitarStudios]

@@belligerentamateur Since Americans can actually still go out and talk to people in person, we're all living vicariously through you :)

[@moonelfcosmo]

Just got my Vesta and Ceres pedals this last month. Some of my best gear purchases ever.

[@johndigioia6499]

good interview kyle bull your really branching out

[@belligerentamateur]

Trying to! I love gear and talking to people about gear, so interviews with builders is right up my alleyv

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Looking forward to this!

[@MrGuitarandvocals]

The amp and pedal company of the present and the future!

[@tommymann6182]

Excellent interview Kyle, great job! KSR is #1 on my list, happy you were able to do this!

[@belligerentamateur]

Appreciate it man! Kyle was a super nice dude in his crew was awesome to talk to.

[@300WINMAG360]

I'm looking forward to this. I just order a KSR Ares about 2 weeks ago.

[@randyblankenship8781]

What's the build time on that?

[@300WINMAG360]

@@randyblankenship8781 I was told 4-6 weeks.

[@randyblankenship8781]

@@300WINMAG360 thank you. I sent them an email asking this but they haven’t responded yet, most likely very busy, because I am thinking about getting an Orthos.

[@300WINMAG360]

@@randyblankenship8781 I think they build them in batches. A few weeks ago I asked about an Orthos and they said they had some ready to go and they were working on a batch of Ares. I never use a clean channel so I ended up ordering the Ares. One guy on the KSR Facebook page said he has been waiting for 4 months for his Gemini.

[@Wedontdeservedogsbro]

@@300WINMAG360 I just watched KSR’s live feed and he’s close to having the Gemini’s done just putting on the finishing touches. They are a lot more of a technical design. They seem to be hitting their stride on things now. Excited to get my Gemini! I’d imagine I’ll definitely get it within a month now. 5 months is a grip for sure but it’s my dream amp so it is what it is

[@Boogieplex]

That was a great video,im impressed with your interviewing skills. You should take a trip to SC and interview Scott Splawn.

[@lekkerblankastudio]

it’s cool to see your progress on yt… the insanely skilled younger competition and silicon valley algorithms. it’s not easy

[@raybrickles7667]

I've had the pleasure of a walk thru as well, got to meet Kyle even. The atmosphere there is just as amazing as their products. Extremely Knowledgeable and courteous. Going to pick up my Ceres soon, it was the blue/purple fade in the beginning!

[@belligerentamateur]

Great bunch, and great products!

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Very nice job on the interview at KSR. You asked a lot of really intelligent questions. Thank you so much for doing this

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks Jarrod! Appreciate you, as always!

[@mikeflanders1292]

Good job man. This seems like a little bit of a milestone for your channel. I'm psyched for ya! Keep it up! Hopefully you'll get a ksr cab soon, I'm pretty interested in them now

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks my man!!

[@MANGHAM1]

I recently acquired a used Hera clean boost pedal for a great price, I didn't know what to expect, because there aren't many reviews out there for its use in non-metal music, so I was delighted that it integrates really well with my setup, a definite keeper. I really like the idea of pedal format preamps, so I would love it if KSR came up with a low gain preamp similar to the Vesta!

[@Boneronfire]

A buddy has a 2x12 from Kyle that is amazing! Great cabs at amazing prices for the quality.

[@thegodslayer8545]

Wow, fucking outstanding interview !! Imo KSR builds probably the best cab in the industry right now. The engineering and construction is phenomenal. Theyre so overbuilt. Did you get any video of the inside of thier 4x12 ? Unfortunately the community really doesnt know how great they are.

[@matthewweeks3165]

Love the KSR Ceres and I always wanted to know what was doing down at KSR. Thanks for the great interview.

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks for watching!

[@vamito3070]

Great questions that you asked! Glad you did.

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks for watching! Hope it was interesting!

[@guitargeek57]

woot!! Got a mention in another video!! KSR has ruined me for all other amps!

[@guitargeek57]

my 4x12 is the ORIGINAL! It was delivered LITERALLY as we were going on stage for a show.

[@vincentgarcia3319]

Excellent.

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks@

[@SignificantTest]

Two Kyle's don't make a right! Lol ha I'll be here all week! 😝 great interview!

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks man! I appreciate it. It was a great opportunity for me to be able to pick the brain of one of the top guys in the industry right now

[@markk9184]

Excellent Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@guitargeek57]

you're building cabs for Metropoulos Amplification?

[@themadist2245]

Very cool interview.

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks for checking it out man, hopefully it was enjoyable!

[@kevindavid37]

Hey man, it says AMPLICATION in the thumbnail.

[@belligerentamateur]

So, what's the problem?! Haha thanks for the heads up man. Don't make thumbnails at 6 am before work.

[@guitargeek57]

would be cool if images of the amp, pedal, cab building were edited in during the audio - let the rest of us nerds see what you're talking about.
