NEW! Blackstar Silverline Amplifiers - Dagan Demos the New Digital Amps!

[@twinpines730]

I have to say this...Dagan you're the best I've seen online at doing what you do. You cover tons of ground. You pack in so much detail on products, you educate as you demo something, and you also happen to be phenomenal on guitar. I've watched tons of demos, and many of yours. Yours are the best. You do this extremely well.

[@emmawebber9438]

Lovely to see Dagan again :-) . If I had a son, I would be proud if he turned out like him.

[@kdogg7882]

@nineball26 Wow that's cold but hilarious!

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Wow!!!!!!!! All the sounds were phenomenal!!! Those cleans were absolutely sparkling and drive sounds just spectacular!!! Gotta try out one of these!!!!!

[@GearGasms]

People always overlook the cleans from these amps and also the LP. Thanks for showing that those two things can produce some really glassy clean tones! Nice kit!

[@bojanh6437]

Give this man a raise and his own parking space!

[@sjazzp]

Regardless that Dagan almost always start with high gain sounds, he always includes demos producing pristine clean tones that are what are interesting to me. Cool video! Now I'd love to see a comparison between the Blackstar Silverline and Boss Nextone amps!

[@Havanacuba1985]

Those epiphone LP custom pro’s are great, the pro buckers are awesome , I had a lot of good comments when I had my black one . It was way better than my gibson tribute 2017

[@BrandonEht]

You must be smoking that good medical shit. Epiphone pickups are complete trash

[@aaronwebb1548]

@@BrandonEht The Probucker is literally made exactly to the specifications of the original PAF, down to the bobbins and the nickel content. I suppose you may not like wax potted pups? Or maybe you just think Gibson PAFs sound shit.

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

It seems like every piece of gear I want to buy, you seem to do the best demonstration of it.

[@Murphy_R9]

That head is so much nicer looking than the Boss Katana head! would love to put them up against one another in a sound test!

[@michaelstone7514]

I tried one in the music store. Very impressive. I really am not fan of digital but this one is very good. The clean channel is quite good, very responsive.

[@coppulor6500]

just tried one today. agree completely. surprised me. the best feeling digital/ss amp I've played.

[@TheKevinNewsom]

Cool demo! For digital, the secret is getting that clean foundation tone. Once you do that, it's off to the races.

[@goncaloferreira72]

12:44 I LOVE this dude hahaha love your videos!

[@niconicosushee]

gae

[@bennettmichaels4309]

Thanks man...every other vid of the amp the players all go right to overdrive and the licks...the clean allows you to actually hear the real tone...then you know what to work with...

[@21stcenturymetal31]

Those look killer I smell an upgrade coming. Thanks for the video

[@STF_YVR]

I

[@deanfletcher7273]

Just bought the 50w Special of these. £299. Sweet 👌

[@bryanclarke1927]

The cleans are great. It looks great. Elephant in the room is the price. Fair bit dearer than the Katana range.

[@freezingCode]

True, and that will probably hold back sales unfortunately. I think the higher price is justified at least; real Celestion and Birch ply construction compared to Boss house brand speaker and MDF construction. Probably a legitimate tolex on this one too, but I haven't confirmed it. Tolex on the Katana just feels cheap... Which is fair for the price when the sound is as good as it is.

[@savedandblessed79]

Yes. But they are much better

[@iliana_b]

love your demos! Blackstar rocks!

[@dcaudio1]

I will own this 50 watt 12” in my very near future....i use a Kemper mainly but when i want to just sit down with a nice 12y year red breast Irish Whiskey i don’t want pedals, tubes, weight, etc...i just want to play my guitar and chill. this amp does it for one main reason....Celestion V Type speaker is killer....Had that speaker in a Marshall DSL40CR and it is a very good sounding speaker. If Blackstar would have used the Celestial 70/80 i would not have clicked on this video.....

[@daviddorrian5349]

Best amp for that is the fender 1965 deluxe reverb with a nice strat and the reverb on about 4. Sweetest tone you can get! I spend hours a night playing straight into the amp no pedals no drive! I know you said you dont want a hevey valve amp but you dont have to move it all the time 🤣 bit of work will make the whisky earn!

[@iangrey2570]

sounds great you showed what these amps can do ill have to try one out live

[@alexgee9412]

These look amazing!

[@Havanacuba1985]

Dagan, is that a great frog padlock/chain Been wanting one myself ,must get saving. Loving the look and sound of these silver line. If it is lighter than my Kat 50 I may sell my boss gt1 and other stuff in the future to get one

[@Havanacuba1985]

EL 34s and KT 88 🤟🏼🕶🤟🏼

[@paultew579]

Great review

[@danieltv123]

Much better then Katana.. Great sounding effects. Not quite tube souding tho, but sounds great

[@kmw5100]

Im sold

[@adamp6401]

Can the wattage be turned down on the 100w combo like on the boss katana for bedroom practice?

[@guitarocd9984]

When you find the ultimate solid-state amp will you tell us. I'm not sure when to pull the trigger they keep changing.

[@callumarthur679]

honestly think it’s always time, if ya keep waiting then it might never come

[@guitarocd9984]

Do you have a solid-state amp.

[@sid35gb]

Orange Super Crush 100 if you have lots of pedals…. Or go Silverline if you want lots of different drive sounds and want to just plug into an amp with the most common effects built in and not mess around with pedals.

[@akalia_07]

Alright... I'm selling both of my solid state amps and getting this one next.

[@chrisb3830]

What setting to recreate fender hot rod amp please??

[@nicvortec]

Sounds great, question is 1x10 or 1x12 for home use?

[@sugarlife485]

12 always

[@BrandonEht]

@@sugarlife485 I disagree. 10 inch speakers are great sounding in their own right. Especially at night time volumes

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Thing I've found with digital amps, using a booster pedal doesn't work like it does with a valve amp. TBH, I'm more interested in the Epiphone, which didn't even get a mention.

[@enriquekikzdelapazbichain1126]

Man im your fan since peepshow!

[@StormdriverOne]

Nice video. You mentioned the FS10 but didn't try it. I want to know if these new amps still change patches on the button release, which is ass backwards from every other pedal I've ever used.

[@theauthenticsteve]

They have not updated the pedal and there would be no way for them to change that feature at the amp end. The reason for the backwards nature is the pedal's second functions are accessed by holding the button longer. Just another thing to be disappointed about with this pointless rebrand.

[@StormdriverOne]

​@@theauthenticsteve Yeah, I know but It's just annoying as hell when you have a board full of pedals that work normally and then one strip across the top that works backwards. It truly is a pointless rebrand. They didn't give us a proper effects loop like we've asked for since day one. Same voices, same EQ and same effects, not that there were anything wrong with them but still... something new would be nice! I don't see the target audience for this giving two shits about a solid state amp feeling slightly more tubey. It offers nothing new yet costs more than the previous model and a LOT more than the new Katanas.

[@theauthenticsteve]

@@StormdriverOne Exactly.

[@valk67]

Keep the Amp, i'll keep your Wristwatch 😁🤘👍

[@manualbo1879]

is that a rolex on your wrist?

[@damasterkarej]

I had 20W one, sold it, but now thinking about 100W...

[@timpage9195]

Just put one on layaway, have Botique all Tube Amps, needed something for practicing,,but as i played it i thought, damn,,this thing is Awesome..As good or better than Line 6

[@mattprobert8268]

If you don't mind me asking, what size did you get? 50w, 100w? Wondering what either is like at home and whether you can get good tones with low volume or if it will blow the roof off. Cheers

[@omarsharif927]

I'd have to get the twin for giging

[@julianbagtang6743]

random question, what guitar is that?

[@sugarlife485]

what

[@alexwalshguitars9596]

Julian Bagtang Epiphone Les Paul

[@billrightnour1753]

Epiphone Les Paul Custom, Alpine White

[@zockerhdgarantiert]

Do they go up to 11?

[@bassplyr13]

Better than the Boss Katana?

[@DKprojects9]

my vote is no

[@fuzzface23]

Played both back to back...Silverlline killed the Katana in cleans and had much tighter distortion. Made the cleans on the Katana sound too week and undefined.

[@ivanroso5617]

Yes

[@MrFirerobb]

@@fuzzface23 agreed.

[@sid35gb]

Lol yes it is I own both it’s way more fun to play then a katana. The katana is over hyped, disappointing and the power attenuation is a gimmick it’s like putting and ash tray on a motorcycle.

[@audioandybaker]

Is there a foot switch that would enable switching between the clean/distorted channels and effects?

[@jamdalf4343]

Blackstar FS-10 Multi Function Footcontroller.

[@MrFirerobb]

Yes....the FS-10....it’s fairly easy to use and those always confused me. I have the silverline special 50watt and I love it. I do also have a Fender tube amp...but these silverlines are about as close as you can get to tubes IMHO.

[@ab7034]

This or ID Core ?

[@band-maidsheep2665]

Is this a main competitor to the Boss Katana series?

[@theauthenticsteve]

Yeah but as a Blackstar fan who has been waiting years for Blackstar to upgrade TVP I think it is time to switch to the new updated Katana MKII. Blackstar really missed the mark with this update.

[@band-maidsheep2665]

@@theauthenticsteve 👍👍

[@maartenbrain01]

how do these differ from the old idtvp amps?

[@heroicchicken6609]

Good question, I have the TVPID60 this seems the same with just a different speaker.

[@alexgee9412]

From the research ive done, it seems like there is upgraded analog circuitry, new enhanced algorithms and new cab + speaker.

[@theauthenticsteve]

They don't differ from TVP significantly enough. They differ by having a different speaker, upgraded circuitry and upgraded algorithms. The TVP range sounded fine, what TVP owners wanted was a silent stand alone loop, a pedal that worked correctly and for the loop return power amp section to work like a real power amp. This is a let down especially considering the ID Core High power series has a proper stand alone loop. Considering the new Katana MKII now matches the the Blackstar for sound but has every feature a TVP owner like me desires, I can't see why people would want to spend more for these. The new Katana is a better amp.

[@JRs-guitars]

@@theauthenticsteve better for what is the question...

[@theauthenticsteve]

@@JRs-guitars Flexibility and practicality. These amps sound fantastic on their own but they are too limiting for growth and expression as a musician and not featured enough to meet all the needs of a gigging musician. With just a few small issues sorted Blackstar could have one of the best products on the market.

[@kenjihasegawa2102]

It looks like vox. Anyways still love blackstar. I've been with this amp eversince 🔥

[@MrGlasstech]

It looks like s Friedman amp!

[@edb1913]

Make it sound like a Jubilee and I'll buy one.

[@ahmetayaz41]

Footswitch ??

[@undrwrldsk8fred]

Sold separately

[@baadrqaaba9529]

I was scared for life when i bought the blackstar id-60tvp head . It sounded not what i expected at all , may be my guitar was weak .

[@alwintan92]

OD2...More metal than your mums kettle.. hahaha

[@jimmuse546]

Just bought one, sounds nothing like the video, my amp sounds muddy and crappy no matter what I do no matter what setting.

[@adozensparrows]

DSP amp du jour. They come & go. Tubes since the early last century. Overdrive with real compressed distortion from glowing, hot Amber valves. Heavey Birchwood cabinet for resonance; Cel V-30s. You know you want the girl with the sexy voice.

[@motorrebell]

Many Tube amps are awesome - but theres cheap - bad quality - sounding ones too ! Need servicing & Tube change after time ( depends on treatment - usage ) also needs warming up - cooling down before playing or transport . Tube amps are FRAGILE and much heavier and usually Expensive too ! So why not give Solid State ( Analogue or - Digital ) amps a chance ? After all the technology has made a Huge improvement in sound quality in the last - recent years !

[@Newnodrogbob]

I love this kind of comment. As though “tubes,” is a brand and model. Seems like they keep coming out with new models of tube amplifier. You can have whatever preference you like, but “tubes since early last century,” isn’t a good justification...

[@MJPGuitar]

So, its not tubed, and the smallest combo costs $430. No thanks.

[@savedandblessed79]

Where are the tubes in a line 6 helix lol

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

You said this is 50 valve watts. And that 50 digital watts is quieter. What am I missing? This isn’t a valve amp. I’m either missing something or, you totally are wrong about the amp.
