My NEIGHBORS WILL LOVE My New 100 Watt TUBE AMP!

[@lordovthorn2747]

This head with a 10 band EQ in the FX loop and a preamp in the front of it with a noise gate you get some crazy gain tones.

[@Amp497]

I checked out the 50 W version, and doing Tech work on the side, I checked out the build, and it is at least as good as a Fender. I picked up my 50 watt sb20 for $259 on clearance, instead of $439. If you wait, you may pick up this amp cheap. You may not get JJ Power tubes. Mine had what appeared to be Soviet military 5881 equivalents. This is not a bad thing because the Soviet tubes were made Bulletproof. The substitution is likely a result of the tube shortage, which is still going on. Preamp tubes are JJ's, and the phase splitter tube is a vintage joint army navy (JAN) General Electric. The vintage General Electric tube is probably worth some bucks. There's a big power transformer and a large audio output transformer. There are also a number of interior fuses along with the back panel fuse. So, the unit is pretty well protected from catastrophic meltdown. I think you can't go wrong with one of these Monoprice amps. Just keep your receipt for the warranty.

[@juntatsuoka3072]

the ONE YEAR REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE won't matter if the amp is out of stock. MONOpricks will offer you useless store credit.

[@scottdunn2178]

I got an SB20 two years ago, still works fine, would have expected a Chinese made no-name amp like this to take a shit by now. JJ tubes still going strong. Drive channel is meh... I just use the clean channel as a pedal platform and it thumps like a mo fo for a cheap 50w amp. Thinking of adding a Presence control on the back panel.

[@edneyhelenedossantos1875]

What did you think about the schematics? Is it cloning any fender amp?

[@brian770]

i have been watching for awhile, and i love the way you present things, i love the fact that you cover a vast amount of "cheap" gear and give everything a fair review, while i also know that you do have some high end gear laying around. makes me come back to watch every vid. keep up the great work !!!!

[@Blues-man.]

I have the 100 watt combo, I agree with your assessment, I was told it was a piece of junk, by several people, I took it apart to see the build quality pc board and other parts on par with fender amps. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s JUNK.

[@tweakrr99]

I live a few cities over from you, but I enjoy your new amp very much!

[@cgh1026]

Awesome video

[@wishnuokay]

Guitar Max is my favorite channel ❤

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Thank you!

[@stevetauscher590]

I have a bugera 6260 and it’s retubed for the money it’s great there’s a lot of amps out there the SR sounds really good bro🙏

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Yes! Those are great amps too. I have a Bugera 1990 Infinium and I love it.

[@jstewardjr]

I’ve been very happy with my SR purchases from Monoprice.

[@killacoiler1707]

The main takeaway of this should be that the cost of producing a 100w all tube amplifier is in reality not that expensive and branding is what raises the cost. Just like with guitars, there are affordable options out there that deliver the goods at a fraction of of the cost of the more mainstreamed names.

[@stanesposito2664]

The only unknown is will it hold up over time.

[@juntatsuoka3072]

@@stanesposito2664 it won't last long and if the amp is out of stock or discontinued, MONOPRICKs will replace it with useless store credit. BUYER BEWARE

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

Well, they may have just copied the circuit off of something which would explain why it’s so cheap. When you put R&D into creating a brand new amplifier, it most certainly will come with the price tag that reflects that.

[@troybadolato7697]

I like the extra gain and your clean channel .Sounds Killer !

[@handgunner1911]

picked this up for my son im a professional bassist and my son is into guitar he wants a marshall but when he got this we were both very impressed you cannot go wrong for the money period its a decent and reliable amp killer sound thx for the review

[@RandyFricke]

That thing sounds great! I have a Bugera 6262 w/6L6's and I love it. It took me awhile to fall in love with but I have it sounding pretty much how I like it.

[@aaronsg71]

I have the 6262 also, I experiment with an eq pedal in the loop. If you have one try it

[@hgreen7541]

I just purchased the 50watt SR combo. Monoprice had a 2 day 20% off website sale. Cost me $308 delivered! Sounds incredible. Just breaking in. Has same exact features. Been using Bandmates Marshall DSL 40. I feel it is as good or better for almost a 1/3rd the price.

[@vincesforza9479]

Very pleasing sound , a good bang for the buck .I'm going to get one.

[@DisruptedSinner]

This head sounds pretty awesome and seems like it would take pedals very nicely. I just got the new BOSS Katana MKII-100 Artist head and although it's not tube, it is absolutely everything you could want in a solid state amp and sounds absolutely amazing through any decent speaker cab. It's also cheaper and lighter than the SR head and includes a massive amount of BOSS effects and amazing I/O in the back. 🤘

[@funkster007]

I have the MKII Artist Head too. Cool and versatile amp for sure.

[@ArizonaLilly]

@@hollyc5417dude stop talking

[@antilaw9911]

Sounds really good! I have a friedman BE100 deluxe but im a tone chaser and always looking for other inexpensive affordable amps. After watching this, im buying one. Thanks!!

[@johndesrosier1672]

...and results?

[@robertvarner8195]

I have the Stage Right 50 watt tube combo amp that I bought on sale for $399 because I wanted a tube amp but didn't want to pay thousands of dollars for it. I use it with my Digitech RP 300 muti effects unit and it's great, no problems at all.

[@racerx5194]

the riff you started playing at 4:39 reminded me of the original power rangers theme song... i will now learn the power rangers theme song

[@nicolasbeaudry6158]

Max for president love your amp!!!NAD❤

[@edneyhelenedossantos1875]

Sounds like soldano SLO to me? That's super cool!

[@ArmandoVegaTV]

Excellent review my good man. I love this head. I've been using it through an IR loader for recording and I'm getting some killer results. Thank you!

[@Angelo-fo8de]

Max Got the secret for you . Line 6 sider valve by Bogner . It will spank that amp PLUS full effects built in . Love your channel and content is hard to create, BUT, some older amps are better and cheaper !

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

Interesting!

[@jk-76]

What? Have you ever played it side by side with any other amp?

[@fuzzcous]

The clean channel was sweet, very chimey.

[@deanbartone8187]

I want one sounds really good

[@countzero5150]

I've been wondering what the stage rights are based on. Jet City copies? Or marshall? I'd love to see a schematic for them.

[@andrewbecker3700]

Those new Sterling Cutlass CT50 HSS plus models are absolutely packed with high value specs. I modded a standard CT50 HSS model for close to the price difference between the two. I don't think there's a better S type on the market for the cost. It's by far the least expensive guitar in my collection, but everyone assumes it's in the $1000 range or higher. Totally holds its own against guitars I have costing 2-3 times as much. Is soo good I bought a Ray34 bass in the same firemist silver color.

[@scottdunn2178]

I must have more influence than I realize... I told them they should build a 100w head w/EL34's and call it the SB100. I told them they should add a Prescence control. Guess they ignored my suggestion for EL34's as it was probably cheaper staying with 6L6's. My SB20 head is still going strong 2 1/2 years on knock on wood...

[@guitartim2128]

Great sounding amp,lightweight .....its a winner🎸 great video

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

You could probably have one of these sent to a company like KSR amps and have them modify the amp to sound even better than it does stock.

[@davidmini3606]

I have the 50 watt SB20 over a year now it was $319 shipped

[@rickyork7089]

[@jayschulz8060]

Had a 2010 Crate Blue Voodoo close out ..429.00 bucks . Same specs

[@jesseparrish9198]

Crate amps sound great when dialed in properly.

[@patrickbateman7769]

Would it be worth grabbing this instead and bypassing the preamp for a digital modeler or using an amp in a box type pedal? The tone sounds great but obviously not amazing, just trying to see if you can get higher quality tones at a lower price

[@boxfan6656]

LOL. That's my favorite guitars, except I got dot inlays instead of fancy blocks or roasted maple neck. I might have to get a new favorite, but put the old favorites' upgraded PUs into it.

I bought one last winter it arrived damaged no preamp effect loop could get power amp work , So monorice paudship it back to factiry refunded my money but was out of stock long time, preferred they repair under warranty but they dint play that game. So I bought EHX Mig 50 great just like my amp in 1966 Super Bassman, niw diesnt have effects loop, but dies have 2 channels putting guitar lead into bith guve you great variety of tones, lers face it 60 ' tone didnt have much effects, maybe fuzz wah and treble bass bosster, yea decided all new amps git heavy metal tone, not me.. Looking Barry Fish Meltin tone or Gary Quakenbush SRC

[@w1zard0f0h]

That guitar reminds me of Ozzy era Jake E Lee.

[@panagotispatrik515]

Friend you should try the Kong amps from Music Productiv and Subzero amps from Gear4music both of them being house labels. The latter company has another house label called Hartwood guitars with a couple of crazy models!

[@volkerracho9598]

The Subzero tube amps are rebrandet Monoprice, so to say Stage Rights for Europe. There are some interesting variations like color, closed backs or head versions of the 5 and 15 watts models.

[@johndesrosier1672]

How does this compare to the 5150 50 or 100 watt 6l6?

[@hadleymanmusic]

BEWARE buying anything monoprice. IF you buy anything MONOPRICks make sure before the 30 day money back is up the item didn't get discontinued or end up out of stock. They will offer you useless store credit. IMMEDIATELY send it back before the 30 days it is up because it will break. I bought the 50 watt head, 8" studio monitors and ribbon mic all broke or DOA. All three are discontinued or out of stock now.

Don't bother with this. Just get a used crate blue voodoo for like $350-$400.

If you're looking for a less expensive tube amp, I would recommend the Bugeras over a Blue Voodoo. They are getting pretty old now and even when they were new, they sound very fizzy.
