I've watched like 100 videos about cab sims the past couple of days. I'm sold after watching this. This dude rules.

[@rangerdoc1029]

I've bought & sold dozens of modellers over the years. This is the only one I've kept. It simply has the best quality to price ratio.

[@neilkorsgaard]

Hi Rangerdoc, I have the Ampi-firebox MK II, I know there are good tones in there, but I'm struggling getting anything similar to what I hear online. Specifically, dialing in the various gain and volume settings is confusing. I have gain, master and volume on the pedal, plus the input/output in my interface and my DAW. It sounds like I'm playing my speakers as an amp rather than listening to a recording of an amp. I'd be grateful for any suggestions about how to systematically dial in a good tone.

[@rangerdoc1029]

@@neilkorsgaard I'd recommend Leon Todd's channel. He has a "dialing in" of the amplifire. The secret is absolutely in the EQ blocks.

[@neilkorsgaard]

@rangerdoc1029 Thank you so much Ranger. I sure will.

[@iamkennymartin]

That US Clean setting with tape and reverb with your strat. 😍

[@bgayer1]

Rabea...love to hear you play things other than death rock. You really have talent. This looks like a useful tool. Glad to see you doing more guitar reviews for Anderson’s as well. Great job man!!!

[@Proganaut1989]

Great to the point show case of the Firebox...love ya work

[@imannonymous7707]

Four years have passed. theres probably a better mouse trap by now. Not a big pedal or sim guy but i am intrigued by how diverse this small footprint can be

[@kevmofo]

Thankz Rabea! What a HUGE Little Box!!!!! Gettin one for sure. I was looking at Atomics Amplifier 6 but this Huge Little box has really caught my eye. This with my Carvin 100 watt power amp and Carvin V12 cab is about all I would really need. Seriously! What a product, and at $300 bucks it's a no brainer! Sold!

[@timothymckane6362]

I love it when he used his signature baritone guitar with that pedal. It sounded monstrously good.

[@zorgzev96]

Sounds way better in this vid than the one Andertons did. No idea why.

[@smokemirrors3616]

Andertons review was not good. They spent more time joking than equalizing

[@bazibada]

Thank you for playing a lot of various styles and not just guitarheroshredding like in many vids. Great playing by the way !

[@ErGoyoTV]

Hey 🤘🏽 Great review for this unit, all types of amps demoed. Impressed with the versatility of those patches. Lots of number crunhing with mojo going on deep inside that box

[@XiyuYang]

I stopped caring about whatever product you're demoing, I'm just here for your music.

[@jackreavy]

I can't wait for the studio documentary thing, buzzing for new toska

[@triplelindys]

Glad to see you are back it!

[@shawnreese6538]

sounds great. you are into your own. I loved the alternating broken chord, used to practice those types of patterns on the fly without repeating the same note sequence, lol. finger picking acoustic. great fun, like meditation.

[@riffdude]

Nice pedal with many knobs and functions!

[@lauscho]

I can see this pedal being REALLY useful as a sort of "backup rig in a pedal" for a touring guitarist. Like, if the tubes in their amp crap out mid-gig, instead of stopping the show, they could just hook this up to FOH and let 'er rip. Hell, some of those amp models sound good enough that I almost wouldn't be against using this as my entire rig for small hometown shows just playing for a few buddies or whatever.

[@HUGO-xp8tv]

Could you do a video on how you record guitar in general? Like go through your signal chain, software and overall tips, would be greatly appreciated. Your sound quality and tones are incredible :)

[@dandessoy2943]

Holy hell Bea your playing is through the roof in this video

[@tonepoet]

You did a pretty amazing review. This is super deep, great tool for recording and gigging with.

[@qfz2112]

I love the morning star inspired outro!

[@phildyerguitar]

Serious playing here mate! Love it

[@rangerdoc1029]

Would love to see this compared against the Mooer Preamp Live. I loved the Mooer Preamp Live. Based on your review I got one. It did sound awesome & I loved the interface. But it had some distinct digital noise on the higher gain models. I finally got rid of it. Interestingly, I have the BE100 micro preamp pedal & it sounds as good without the digital artifacts (provided you use your own IR instead of the cab sim). Edit: finally got the Firebox.... It Blows Away the Mooer! Simply awesome tone.

[@Stringprodigy]

Heph333 Mooer is hot garbage.

[@froag4003]

For some reason I always enjoy seeing how your guitars wear from where you pick. Also great video!

[@bremsnix]

It's natural wear. The only relic'd guitar he has is his old Bea Sig with the Floyd Rose that used to be orange burst. All his other guitars have this one very specific mark from playing in between the neck and bridge pickup.

[@bremsnix]

It's his pick that he hits the body with when he is playing live. He even spoke about not being able to play the new Chapmans live because he had to do demo videos on them for Chapman Guitars and if he took them out they would all get this mark from him playing them.

[@bremsnix]

Zachary Williams if he likes his guitars to have this sort of unusual wear mark why would he?

[@harrysouter2304]

glad to hear about your knee bea.. can't wait for the new toska album

[@talonrocks447]

Nice demo - I just got one a couple of weeks ago, but have been too busy to check it out, but I know I'll like it as a backup to my Fractal, and maybe a couple of guest songs with other bands on occasion. Oh, and great playing!

[@kevinmusso2397]

I have it! It’s excellent

[@pekkalaaksonen8384]

Great demo Rabea! Thanks. Please do also review on Atomic Amplifire 12.

[@Kaiman1962]

what a great Sound....wow

[@smokemirrors3616]

This is an amazing review. Made me go fot it, definitely, after searching for goods reviews

[@boyan.guitar]

Great demo, thank you, I truly enjoyed this, even though I'm not a metal head. If something is good, then it's good. I think I'll get this pedal.

[@Artec619]

Hey Bea, nice review as always! I wanted to ask you, Im currently thinking about buying the Boss Katana 100 1x12, and I wonder, do you think I'll be able to achieve some ambient tones with it? I have downloaded the Tone Studio App, and the max delay time is 2000 ms. Do you think that combining it with a huge reverb would get me there? Cheers mate, and thank you for being such an amazing artist

[@tonykennedy8483]

Really enjoyed this vid, were you using your own IR's throughout, or a mix or stock and your own?

[@stevenlouth2136]

Hi Rabea Hope the knee is recovering well the pedal sounds awesome is it okay with other effects connected to it also how is it straight into recording gear !!!!!

[@misticformula1485]

Bea, what kind of studio monitors are you using? You made this ampli-firebox sound great!

[@TidesOnEarth]

Hey dude, big fan of your vids... This may be a weird question and an odd comparison, but it's what I'm considering. I'm know you've reviewed the Boss Katana series in some of your other vids. If you were using the Katana as just a modelling amp (either into another amp or even a PA, using it for its fx and amp modelling) do you prefer the sound of it for modelling or this pedal as a modeller? I'm currently using a Katana 50 in a signal chain because I want to use the great fx/amps from the Katana for looping as I'm a solo act. Because of that though, my Katana has become essentially a really big amp modeller. I found this pedal in your reviews and thought that maybe this would be a better option. Obviously size-wise this a way more convenient option, but at the end of the day, sound is the deciding factor, although it's hard to ignore the convenience of a pedal like this that can fit on your board, vs. carrying around an amp. I'd appreciate feedback from anyone with an opinion!

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

Could you run it clean at the end of a pedalboard and go direct to PA? Some modelling devices sound quite brittle when you run pedals in to them, I was wondering if you've tried this? Great playing by the way, mate!

[@duaneanderson9492]

great demo clear concise and informative . I hope you have a quick painless recovery speaking of knees, my mum used to say ... the Irish pray on their knees, the americans prey on their neighbors.

[@CamRebires]

Whenever there will be a new Ask the Fro: What was your road after finishing school? We always hear from you, Dave and Ben meeting Rob, but what happened in between?

[@johnnymittens77]

I swear Bea has never written a riff I didn't like! 🤘

[@katepolychron]

Hey Bea! Im happy for your recovery and especially for your recent meeting with Nuno! I bet that your were the happiest human being at that moment....you deserve it!

[@skollgreywolf315]

Hey Rabeard hope all went well with your knee. Great review! How would you use that pedal in a live situation?

[@crackedamerica9739]

Great feel in your playing:)

[@ionobelisk]

Great review, and some top-notch gurning 😆

[@rich_in_paradise]

How long did it take you to wear through the finish on your ML1 Pro?

[@drebrose1983]

The shred melted it off like it melts my face. B has FIRE

[@alexweaver3969]

Hey Rabea, i am about to pickup a standard strat and i love the feel of the guitar but (as is the case with most of the s style guitars i have played) i find the vintage trem a little abrasive under my right hand. Any suggestions on either setup tips or replacement bridges. also, a while ago you put up a video about the mods you have done to the bridge of your ML-1 relic if you could put the link in a reply cos i hunted through your page for about an hour and couldn't find it. Love you work man, Come to Melbourne Australia

[@MatGurman]

Yes!!! That was on fire 🔥

[@demonstration2000]

Hey Bea, question for your next Q&A, when Toska plays live do any of you guys use a click? Thanks!

[@xJaGG3d]

Hey Bea could you do a demo of the KSR amp you're using on the new Toska record? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on an Orthos in the next couple months but I need the Bea approval!

[@MegaCamaroni]

really interesting!!!! thanks alot rabea!!!!!!!!!

[@bull7618]

Also this things sounds huge. Every time you demo something I want it ffs

[@SoulShineBluesBand1]

Nice video my friend! I now have one on the way 👍

[@therealjackfisher]

thats IT! Thats a perfect pedal. AMP FX and other sht can suck root and die. This is the pedal I want..

[@rangerdoc1029]

I just got one.... It is pretty awesome.

[@simonthr8697]

Hey Bea, nice review as always! Can I ask you a question, how did you fit a little 59 in your signature model? I bought one and it doesn't fit! Thanks for your help

[@gyrosphinx]

When Rabea says Fuzz...

[@vincentdurmort-bornloudstu9508]

Hi Rabea, just watched your review of this pedal... I've tried both setups already, but I'd like your opinion on that question : LeClean + Torpedo CAB vs Atomic Ampli-Firebox? Without considering the budget. Which one? Thanks! And thanks a lot for your videos man

[@benfaulkner9434]

I got a dsl 40c for £300, thanks for showing me what a good amp it is.

[@tammycoates7816]

[@MrStevelovesguitars]

I do! I do!

[@emilpartsch283]

Awesome tones! Is it possible to get the samme IR's as you use?

[@Heikken]

Sounds really good. How would you compare it soundwise to the Atomic AmpliFire? Is it pretty much the same thing or is the modelling different in the Firebox?

[@CaptAnderton]

Leo H it’s the same basic software as the red Atomic Amplifire but with less options & FX.

[@Heikken]

Oh ok, cool. Thanks :)

[@candydormizzi2500]

Sold !

[@mtheshust]

Please do a video running a bunch of pedals into the firebox!!!!

[@zettthaa1233]

@Rabea i was wondering....what program you use to mix the sound of your videos???? cause im looking for a program to make demos of my songs.... and i dont know what program its the best to use......like cubase..reaper...or studio one 3...i really want your opinion about this...and wich one its the most easiest to use :) greetings from chile ! and great videos!!

[@tomsherlock9477]

Zettthaa!! 123 he uses one of the newer versions of logic from the looks of things. it's pricey and only available on a Mac though, I would highly recommend reaper

[@ernestobenschop6087]

please do the mooer GE-200 to , the andertons demo didnt do it justice

[@mikedixon8830]

This sounds tight.

[@dzod]

Is it possible to have a drive sound coming out of the 1/4" output and a clean sound out of the XLR output at the same time?

[@travelingmusician3135]

Dzod nope

[@rezoshelia4679]

Hey. how would you compare maple-firebox to Strymon iridium?

[@TidesOnEarth]

So, with the channel switching of the left foot switch, do you essentially have 18 presets? (9 presets with 2 channels in each?)

[@jfsiqueira7813]

Hi. Does it work well plugged in front of the amp, instead of in line or in the amp return?

[@lukesaunders4776]

Have you relic-ed that ML1 Pro?!

[@antoinefleuriot2509]

Nice review but I couldn't help feeling as you are selling these you are only going to sell it's good points. For example on a pedal this size there has to be some cut/draw backs and limitations that you don't mention. So a more balanced review plus and minus points

[@RabeaMassaad]

Antoine Fleuriot sorry dude. I did just enjoy the pedal. It’s no like I thought of bad points and actively chose not to include them in the video if that’s what you mean.

[@antoinefleuriot2509]

I felt although it appears to be good value people looking to buy this would still be interested in its limitations as well for such a small unit, especially compared to there larger units. For example with only 2 foot switches how much does that limit you live when you want to change sounds, what can't you edit compared to other units, it appears to have just one mono output, how many effects can you use at once, does it have chorus, wah, etc. effects, do they regular update for new sounds. I know this is a lot to ask from a small unit at this price but these are key questions people want to know to avoid disappointment and wasting there money.

[@kptheradiostar]

Glad the surgery went well!!!

[@submoto]

(1:22) ...'preset-mode'? there's a way to get out of that mode?

[@leighhenson2773]

HAHAHA..... Rabeas already taken the paint off the guitar

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

Mate, i think you can help me, what string gauge can i use for drop A (6 string) if i use 10-46 for drop D (in a 25.5 scale guitar)

[@t_separator]

I use 12-60 in drop a# on a 24,75. try this or a 13-63. both are daddario

[@nathanmcdonnell2012]

Jesus the chunk taken out of the finish

[@edadpops1709]

What vocal mic do you use on your vids?

[@fireflyfingers1]

Are you running this with Logic Pro?

[@AMB666]

You should bypass the afro because if a bald guy bought this...he would be upset!

[@dannyd1224]

thats exactly why I'm not buying one....what a jerk!

[@johnmotherfuckincoltrane1242]

When are you going to show us that synth?

[@bull7618]

Hope the knee surgery went well mate

[@likeanuuk6612]

nice comment but, he said hes fully recovered. it did go well

[@bull7618]

HoshiHearts RetroGaming had it paused loading up because my mobile data isn't very good at work lol

[@zigazorin8893]

Rabea what happened to your ml1pro modern?

[@Budder99]

If you're referring to the mark, I think he said once that it's natural wear from when he plays live and hits the strings so hard as his hand comes down lol.

[@josue8441]

well done dude! come to Argentina with toska!

[@fatherofpearlmusic]

Can this replace my kemper?!?

[@sylvainsarrobert1093]

Hi RabeaRD !

[@thenotsoguitarguy9429]

Hey, Bea! Glad to hear everything went well with your knee. Love your vids. Got a hot tip for your viewers. It's a quick and dirty fix for guitar straps with loose button holes or the makings for quick, cheap strap locks. Check out the vid here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/robVf5uKhdJgr5o Sorry for the self promo, but I've learned a lot from your channel and wanted to give something back in whatever small way I could. Cheers!

[@Ripprock1]

[@firas_mestiri]

what model is that guitar?

[@AlexRooneyComposer]

Chapman ML-1 Pro Modern.

[@quinnmcentire1090]

He also added Bare Knuckle Ragnarok pickups to it I believe.

[@TheUmart]

can on/off switch be assigned?

[@luckyllou7325]

TheUmart yes a/b channel mode. or on off.

[@TheUmart]

thanks for answer m8!

[@corey.j.w]

Can you switch between two delay types for example with the boost switch, or is it just one delay on or off?

[@julianvandenboom8633]

Corey you can set which effect sections go on or off globally. But per preset you can set the style of each effect. For example. Channel 1 is clean, channel 2 is high gain, you set your footswitch settings to turn on boost and delay. So the boost button will engage the delay and boost block in both presets but you can dial in a soft digital eco with a screamer boost in the highgain preset, and a clean boost with an analog delay in the clean preset.

[@corey.j.w]

Ah, okay. Thanks for answering.
