I could gladly watch Elmo review anything at all all day long even if I don't plan on buying it too. Even if I feel like I hate my own life on some gloomy day I will change my mind immediately upon just seeing Elmo's funny YT thumbnails! Thank You dearest Elmo for all of your so enjoyable and humorous reviews here because it makes my life, for one, much more bearable and especially these days too. Your incredible abilities and superb talent don't hurt either! You are a really sweet treat for a tired soul and very considerate and strictly honest too and THAT my friend is no joke.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thank you 😊

​@@squirelova1815sorry, but I must say that If, In your nickname, you are trying To write Squirelova. That is wrong. Squier is right, not Squire. 😊

[@squirelova1815]

@@jasujokelainen5073 That depends. It's totally "right" for me for YT because besides being a real long time Squire guitars fan, (A) I can actually REMEMBER how to spell "SQUIRE" if I needed to and more importantly, (B) It was an AVAILABLE name for a YT account at the time plus, (C) It's a funny jab and reference to the equally weird "Squire" spelling that is commonly misspelled. I actually misspelled "misspelled" here while writing this too and had to 'spell check' it. How very fitting, no?

The German reading was nice and not expected anddd also funny 😂🤟 I think you’ll like the white mooer more then the black

[@RickMichaelis63]

You sold me on the Roland micro cube years ago, brother I think I’m gonna stick with that, but I do appreciate your honesty and your sincere reviews. Thanks for the review Elmo 🙏❤️✌️🎼🎵🎶🎸😊

[@MrPolevaulter]

The Roland sure is good :)

[@410142109]

Bought a micro cube 14 years ago ,it`s still going strong ,you get a big amp in a small package!

[@tymanngruter1808]

Congrats with your new chihuwaha doghouse! 👏👏👏

[@MrPolevaulter]

Haha 😂

[@Miktouz]

A week ago I bought the mooer white hornet but the 15 Watt version and I really enjoy it so far… you can also plug in an acoustic and bass guitar which the black one doesn’t have…

[@MrPolevaulter]

Cool :)

[@davidkastin4240]

From my experiences with practice amps it'll sound much better when the speaker breaks in and then opinions on it will change.

[@daniellarson3068]

All these amps that are reviewed with the speakers smaller than the 12" of the Roland Cube on the wall never seem to have sound that pleases Elmo. I think I am seeing a pattern.

[@svarfinnbogason3645]

Well, you got a point here. Although this pattern is understandible. the thing is that 8 inch speakers are just to small to give a good rounded guitar sound. I have three amps with 8" and one of those is a Bugera infinium and I have swapped out the standard speaker for a Celestion 8" and some others just for fun. The Celestion sounded best out of those I have tried but was still not good. I find that the big jump in tone is between 8" and 10" speakers and if I plug the Bugera to the 10" speakers in my Fender it is a different amp. Sounds really nice. 8" is to small for anything but home use and if that is the use case then I alvwaus reccomend getting somethinglike the Yamaha THR, Boss Katana AIr EX, or a NuX or Spark - if you are on a budget. I never use the tube monsters at home any more :)

[@daniellarson3068]

@@svarfinnbogason3645Thanks - I have a Roland Cube where the amp went bad. Per your comments, it makes sense to keep that 12" speaker.

[@Neptunade]

Are those frets scalloped, or is it just the angle of the light?

[@chriswozniak4347]

They are scalloped.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Yeah, they are.

[@svarfinnbogason3645]

for 150 €, I guess this is acceptable, but if you want a box like that, why not add a few Euros and get a Katana 50 mk2, I think it is around 230€. It is not that much bigger and has a 12 inch speaker and it sounds way better, plus, it can also be used in band practice situations (some at least)

[@MrPolevaulter]

Indeed.

[@dammitjim9131]

1:38 Say what? 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, though, super helpful reviews. Thanks!!

[@stevenbarton7474]

I bought a second hand Spark Mini for similar money

[@kostasrestas]

a question out of the subject! The fender lt50 share the same fender tone app with same capabilities and features just like fender gtx50 or gtx100 ?? I mean , the fender tone app ,gives you the same options at any of this amps??

[@MrPolevaulter]

I don't know.

[@davidfisher5022]

I use a micro cube and this hornet. Cleans are pretty similar. Hornets effects are more prominent especially delay but the cubes reverb is more natural sounding. The micro is best for it's classic stack sound which the hornets pl100 model can't replicate. The hornet has more gain and EQing available the mooer metal model is much tighter and chunkier than the recto setting on the cube. Both good practice amps i like both. Side note the knobs on hornet look like they tried to copy the cubes design

[@rodrigofalcao8858]

Great review. Mooer quality doesn´t stop to impress, for the price. Just one question: does it perform equally well at bedroom´s level ? By the way, beatifull scalloped neck ? Came stock with your guitar or an after purchase job?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Bedroom level should be fine. The guitar is custom made with the scallops.

[@davidjones6218]

I'd sooner get a second hand boss katana for 150(and have some change from 150) Thanks Elmo!.💥

[@JoeEnabnit]

It’s not great, but man is it better than my old 10w Ibanez practice amp from back in the day 😂

[@krumple4skin548]

Lol spiderbait recorded an album with one of those

[@MrPolevaulter]

True

[@pyratoothNL]

Sounded a bit dark overall. On the other hand it's good you don't need a smartphone app to use it. Software has a limited lifecycle, either that or it won't run any longer on the version of the OS you'll be on a few years.

[@sirzap7542]

Elmo! Great to see you! Can you do a review on the Line 6 POD Express Guitar Effects Processor? ( Red ). I'm looking for a small effects pedal and this might be a great one, but want to hear what you say and listen how you sound through it first. It costs $179.00 American.

[@Harrythe1st]

😂 Nice presentation indeed wololololooo but funny thing that I've looked that speaker, the smaller one on thomann just few days back 😮

[@giorgiluashvili9214]

Can i connect to pc also?

[@5_string_bass]

Would you choose Mooer Hornet 30 Black or Positive Grid Spark 40?

[@Lachicallama]

Could this be used for busking? Can I connect it to a mic and the guitar at the same time? And if not, do you recomend any budget friendly amp to busk with? 😊

[@КонстантинК-ь9з]

Hello! Thanks for the video. Please tell me m vave tank G will be better for a beginner than what is in the review?

[@mattsikes919]

I hate to say it but Ugh! I really didn't like the sounds coming out of that amp. Admittedly, it doesn't help that I just got done practicing through my Bugera 50w tube head and marshall cab before I watched this video, lol!! Honestly though it just did not sound good at all to my ears. Great video as always buddy!

[@MrPolevaulter]

🤣 Thanks!

[@jimmyjames2022]

You had a few amps dialed in kind of 'ok' on this Mooer Black Hornet 30W (given low expectations to start with), but the 'Clean' and 'Plexi' never reached 'ok' to my ears. Mooer can do better, it's a little surprising it's this poor. IMO, money is better spent on the many alternatives for the $170CAD.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Yeah, there are better ones out there.

[@kaidemen156]

It’s decent for a beginner or someone on a tight budget, but I have no use for it ;)

[@MrPolevaulter]

Pretty much my thoughts.

[@christophersheeler4380]

I enjoy your review videos, but really miss your playing.

[@MrPolevaulter]

I need to make some more of those.

[@DerpRulesAll]

So, each color features different models? Is it worth buying every amp to see how good they are?

[@MrPolevaulter]

I wouldn't.

[@Guitar-Geek]

Bretto... Vai Bretto XD

[@darthgibsonlp6631]

Not the worst sounding practice amp I've heard tho it certainly isn't the best either. Amp modelling is poor by current year standards

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

[@jasonvai4951]

You obviously don’t. My daughter will be happy with it.

[@stevetamv68]

Another Spark type amp dressed as a Yamaha THR... But not even close...

[@Stratisfied22]

For the money I would just buy a used Katana.

[@antondubkov]

Good luck with that in countries like Russia, where Katana costs an arm and a leg. And Mooers are dirt cheap from China.

[@foobar476]

Is it just me or is that a terrible name for an amp? It would be like calling a beer "Weeneken".

[@chrisgmurray3622]

No, I think "Hornet" is a good name, like a " stinging aggressive" sound.

[@johncollins5552]

Too expensive for a tupperware box with an 8 inch speaker imo.

[@johnnorth9355]

Far too complicated and killed by the 8" speaker.

[@maxwellbowden9961]

Sounds like crap
