Louis Torres - Clickbait Drama Queen

I'm so glad you made this video! He was trashing it before it was ever released and heard! I think a lot of guys that have spent 2k or 3k on a head are butt hurt cuz the Iconic is a 1/4 the price and sounds just as good if not better than their high dollar amps. I think from every video I've seen the Iconic sounds amazing! I plan on purchasing one!!!!!

[@perryparkey]

Kudos to you for putting this out. I’ve seen his videos and have thought the same things you spoke about. I blind bought the amp based off of yours and Fluff’s videos. I’m pleased with the purchase. Thank you for the work you put into these demos.

[@outatune2261]

Dude, love this video and I agree 💯% Louis is the only 1 I heard saying bad about the Iconic and I actually watched the video when he played it and could see he knew he was wrong about it but had to stick to his words. I personally don't have the 6L6 version but I do have the EL34 Iconic and it has more low end than I need. I absolutely love the amp. I watched a ton of videos before making my decision pretty much every video there was at the time. After watching Kyle Bull,Ola and yours I decided that it was a great amp and I am glad I did.

[@joshsmith7033]

Great video. Agree 💯. This took balls. I'm subscribing just for that.

[@gresnid3453]

Louis Torres is the epitome of a drama queen. Torres' videos became so whiney, and devoid of anything but him crying, I had to unsubscribe. Even after unsubscribing, I had to choose the "don't suggest channel" option to finally get him off my radar for good.

[@meagainokay7673]

The best way to decide what to buy is budget, sound, and use cases. Once they're sorted, go and try the gear out. Screw what anyone else thinks. Once it's in the mix nobody gives a shit what gear you're using anyway.

[@UncleGewehr]

I think the point of this video went over some people’s heads. Jarrod doesn’t care that Louis doesn’t like the amp (apparently). What I gather is, Jarrod is calling out the fact that Louis has been two faced about it; talking shit about the amp before he had it, then private messages to Jarrod saying that he loved the way it sounded etc. And then to add to it, Louis has a channel where people go to it to review/get an opinion of a product and potentially spend money based on his word. How can you take someone serious who clearly doesn’t have integrity? Why would he say something completely different to Jarrod in a message and then completely reverse it in public? I understand Louis has been saying the amp is okay for 80s stuff and all that...but his thumbnails and clickbait titles show that he’s only doing what he’s doing because it gets views. Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen and 5150 are HUGE in the guitar world...those videos get tons of views because of obvious reasons. Anyways, I think people need a reality check. Jarrod did nothing wrong and is thankfully calling out the horseshit that people do. The Iconic isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. But have some fucking integrity on your opinion. It’s clear this Louis guy has a history of not standing with his opinions...especially if he gets something for free eventually.

[@gypsy7jk]

[@troyredford149]

When the Iconic came out I was on the fence if I liked it enough to get one or not and like everyone on here I went to KZbin for answers. The few videos I found sounded great and then I found Louis Torres and started getting doubts about the Iconic but even when he tried proving it sucked at Guitar Center I still thought it sounded pretty good. In an early video he ordered one and was soo excited about getting it then it's like a switch flipped and all of a sudden he hated it and canceled his order like something happened or maybe someone pissed him off or something. Once I found you and Ola England's videos I decided to pull the trigger and get one.

Nail on the head my concern is people with cameras deliberately miss informing people just for views on an amp that is clearly trending right now, My other concern is James brown busted his arse on this amp and would of been under immense pressure to fulfil Eddie’s last wish I can tell you EVH have been to hell and back over the last year after losing Eddie I can’t believe nobody seems to take into account James Brown’s feelings here🤯

[@djabthrash]

Things you got wrong imo : 1) room mics can also pick up low end 1,5) room mics are not a type of mic, it's a function (just like "close-miking)... You can use a 57 as a room mic, and you can close-mic your amp with your phone built-in mic if you want. 2) producers don't always only close mic, sometimes room mics are used (by themselves or in addition to close mics), even for guitar 3) producers close mic in the studio because it's a good tone for the mixer ... They don't care about guitar amp demos. 4) using "room mics" for amp demos is not that stupid, because some people want to know how the amp sounds in the room, because that's how they hear their gear in general. Not everyone hears a close-miked tone of their gear. My dad wouldn't know and has never heard how his favourite amp would sound close-miked with a 57. A 20 y.o who has always played with plugins knows the close-miked 57 sound but probably has never heard how a guitar cab sounds like a room. Some people like me are used to both (close-miked recorded tone, vs hearing an actual cab in the room) and know how each sounds like. For amp tone demos (when using a real cab), recording "in the room" sound makes as much sense as close-miking it imo. You just need to know how it was recorded to be able it to compare it to something you know. I think your 'in the room" clips in this video were as revealing of the amp tone as your close-miked clips. My 2 cents EDIT : with that being said, the Louis Torres 5150 iconic in the shop "review" was stupid indeed

I started thinking “hmm....he was cool with me, (a nobody on KZbin) but he’s acting like a bit of a loud mouth putz to other people. I guess I misjudged him. I thought he was cool at first”.

[@TheCyberMantis]

The thing about Louis is.... he has the textbook patterns of a narcissist. He will lovebomb you, then gaslight you. So don't worry about anything he says. They like all the attention they get, at other peoples expense. They feel superior when they push your buttons, and get you to react. So don't feed into it. There is only two ways to deal with a narcissist: You can laugh at them, because they are clowns. Or you can have no contact with them. If he pisses you off... just go "no contact". Me, I just laugh at the dude. I don't take what he says or does seriously. He doesn't make me mad at all. I think he's funny. But that's because I recognize what he is. All drama aside: I don't think the Iconic is all that great, but I haven't actually played one yet. I have seen several videos where the Iconic sounds pretty bad. I have seen a few videos where it sounded pretty good. You made it sound good. This dude named Christian Lee Vasquez made a couple of videos with it, and it sounded really good. You guys are also really good players, so that helps. Ola Englund is a great player too, but I thought his video for the Iconic didn't make it sound that good. Combine that with the fact that it's "Made in China", and they recently raised the price to $999, makes me not really want it. I don't think it's a bad amp, and if the price was lower, I might even consider buying one. Musicians can be really fussy people. Some are even elitist. The quickest way to get kicked off a guitar gear forum is to go on there and start posting about how happy you are with your Boss KATANA, and how good it sounds. People will cry to the moderators until you are booted. Ask me how I know! LoL! Those elitists over there just can't stand it when someone is happy with a piece of gear that doesn't cost a fortune. It's a joke.

[@jb_50w78]

I agree in most other videos the iconic just doesn’t sound good, and yet it sounds great when Jarrod plays it. People often forget that amps are not everything, the speaker cab has a HUGE effect (even more than the amp) and the guitar and pickups matter too. Also there’s the player. Jarrod is an awesome player (though he’s modest) and he can make anything chug and shred and whatever. And he uses the Mesa 2x12 which is a great cab and his majesty which has great pickups. All these things make the iconic sound better than other videos and probably bring out the best qualities of it.

I just found your channel this week and don’t understand why it took so long. Some of my recommended videos have been between 8 and 11 years old, so at least there’s that. But I digress, as a recent subscriber, I was honestly unaware of any “stuff” going on before. Personally, I have found value in some of the content from “other channels” that I’ve viewed or subscribe to, though I may not necessarily share the opinion of the creators, in general. Hopefully, a viewer’s interest will be piqued and they will do more research so they can make a better informed decision on anything, really. I learned in college that bad press is still essentially free advertising and gets it out there for others to use their due diligence to draw their own conclusions. For the most part, entertainment value alone will not keep most interested for long, but content that resonates will. This was the first of your videos, and liked how the topic was broached. I apparently need to catch up on a lot with your channel as well as some that you have mentioned. The time and effort invested definitely shows up in the quality and is something I appreciate.

I always wanna make sure that people get the information that they are looking for when they watch my videos. I also hope that there's a bit of entertainment value for them as well. Hopefully you can hang out with us in one of our livestreams. It would be great to interact with you there as well. Welcome to the community!

Just keep doing what you are doing J! It's great, love what you share and play and most of all it is honest. Thanks for that. Much better than listening to someone whine about gear. It's the place I visit first when I want to hear what an amp sounds like.

18:45. YES YOU DID catch him speaking out of both sides of his mouth. I'm off his page. I have CPTSD, and I'd rather be in the comfort of folks like you that feel like friends. Every story I hear about Louis starts with "He was so nice at first". Including mine.

Negativity and fighting is something I could do less with on the internet. Honestly I watch all the videos and livestreams on this channel because there’s no fighting and everyone is friendly including Jarrod.

You're a good dude, man. Been subscribed since the early days and what I've always loved about you the most is your honesty. You're just really at the end of the day interested in the truth. Louis complete opposite. Guys a fruit basket.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you so much. I really hope he changes and does better

[@rosskrause3926]

Hey,don't put down a fruit basket ! Don't stoop that low..they are better than that guy Torres !

[@billhannum4117]

He needs to learn how to play before I can take him serious your a better player and a pro

[@xmistersinisterx]

I knew he was full of shit after I saw his Mesa badlander video. I'd rather watch honest reviews like tone wars or any of the other channels that you mentioned. Keep up the great content 🤘

[@chrisbrumbaugh9936]

Good job brother👍

[@michaelcalleo292]

look at this guyz pedal board. HOLY CRAP

[@garethlewis4586]

I think it's fairly reasonable to expect someone to have actually played the gear they like/hate. I said the same thing to him on comments.

[@UNSC-ow3bh]

It seemed he wanted to hate it for the sake of hating it before it even came out for some reason...🤦🏻‍♂️ Not everyone can afford a 5150III so the Iconic fills a gap indeed

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

I think he wanted to be considered the "smart person" that knew better than everyone else

[@mauricewhite1162]

❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯

[@putontheseglasses8809]

It's hard to find bad gear, it's really about what you need what you want what you like.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Agreed!

[@ryanlee6042]

Surprised he didn't have another bipolar meltdown and delete his channel again over this video. I can't stand him. He's a crybaby.

[@edwardmorales2178]

Well done!
