I honestly think this is the best guitar amp ever made

[@austindimatteo4981]

Probably the most simple yet versatile amps on the market today. Proud owner of two years

[@apophispnw5717]

Can you brighten it up at all? Like the fender sparkly sound? Most videos it sounds like it’s got a lot of low end and some PRS sounding mids but it lacks in the bright area somewhat. But then again I’ve never seen anyone push the treble higher than 2oclock.

I've found the magic in this amp is with the master at 2:00 or higher, not barely on as in the video. I realize playing that loud is a luxury but until you do you haven't heard the amp's full potential. It's a great amp, one of the best clean channels at any price.

[@allenklosowski226]

Just got one of these and your last setting setup is perfect for my needs. Thanks for this!

[@alessandrorossini8704]

Nice, useful review, classy playing, gorgeous amp.

[@markrock7]

The best amp review of any amp ever done on KZbin-Exactly what a typical neurotic guitar player such as myself would want to see.

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

I have never heard any amp that has such responsive and dynamic bass, middle and treble controls. They produced beautiful tones from 0 to 10. Everything about these amps is incredible.

That’s exactly my next rig Fillmore 50 + prs silversky 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😬😬😬😬😬

[@Pete_Harris]

Great review of a lovely amp : )

[@apophispnw5717]

I’m having a hell of a time trying to decide between a Deluxe 65 reverb, California tweed, and a Fillmore 50. I have a fender twin and it’s too big to pack around to practice and in my jam room. It’s great but the Fillmore would allow me to not use pedals. At practice and probably sound pretty good live too. It’s a little too boxy and muddy I’m afraid I would regret it but I’m not sure.

Review the Fender precision bass Duff mckaghan

[@apophispnw5717]

Same guitar I have. Nice

[@ml-ed4sc]

An outstanding amp!

[@guitarlife6190]

This vs Friedman dirty Shirley 40 watt combo

[@leovilla1857]

PRS and Mesa's go together like Gibsons and Fender Amps

[@gslide06]

Couldn't hear the sparkling cleans you mentioned. You were noodling a tad too much on the clean channel though so it may be there. Simple, boring chords at every gain stage really do help the perspective buyer.

[@seniorjuanvaldez]

I just can't get into strats, every the over priced silver sky

[@codygoins8832]

They will get you one day although I do not like the silversky at all. It's not a strat. It just doesn't have the sound down. The playability is ok but it also doesn't play like a strat either lol. Way overpriced. I'd rather have a fender american vintage 2 or something over that

[@andyleotell]

Try a fender hss deluxe strat too…. It’ll blow your mind!!

[@martydibergi5228]

My 2 cents... Too shrilly I will stay with Matchless

[@Pete_Harris]

Strange because it's not that 'toppy' at all on some other reviews.

[@dressedtosmellgood]

@@Pete_Harris its all how you mic it

[@Dream-Academy]

How can you make it sound so bad compared to Andy? Ignoring thestellar playing the tone with just reverb is sublime. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKWkgKWQe6h2a6c
