[@Frankentoane]

A hero that no one asks for, yet shines through.

[@KaiDown]

sounds bucas but ok

[@CS-ru4xd]

Bogner Ubershall and the Revv 120 sounded the best. Thanks for the time stamps!!

[@mathew3268]

The time stamps rocked, thanks.

[@chrismccreight8207]

@@CS-ru4xdsignificantly louder than some

[@Targula]

That Diezel sound so heavy. I really do like the Engl Fireball and the MT100 too.

[@metalfreak4791]

I like how the MT 100, EVH 5150, PEAVY 6505, Soldano Gain settings are at 8, 9/10 and 11 and the rest of the amp settings were at or past noon for Gain. I bought the MT 100 and it sounds brutal in person. The Clean, Overdrive and Lead sound great!! All the amps sound killer and I love them all, but I think I'll stick with my MT 100.

[@DaCostaGuitars]

Peavey 6505, EVH 5150, Soldano SLO's gain are at or just passed noon.

[@Frankentoane]

Might be speaking for the minority here but that blackstar was incredible, has the quietest noise gate ever too. Just the perfect play time like it should

[@bigmike9527]

😂😂😂

[@ryanmilani7889]

They all sound good... just the clarity from the soldano is second to none... the og...

[@Fail7515]

IMO 1) MT100 2) Archon 3) SLO 100 (Huge suprize for me. I haven't loved that amp in the past, but it sounded huge) Thanks for drop tuning.

[@bigcountryplatinum5150]

Was really impressed with the MT! I can’t believe the 5150/6505 and sold and though, just incredible

[@Chugs4Serotonin]

I'm always impressed by how pissed off a 5150/6505 sounds. VHT is a monster too. Also, this now my favorite amp video on the internet.

[@TheSPY1997]

My faves are the Soldano, the VHT Deliverance, the Rectifier, and the Diezel

[@howardgillingham4763]

That revv is pretty sick to

[@zendragonmindtuner6207]

That’s amazing that you took the time and energy to put this together. Very helpful. One suggestion tho if you could edit it in a way we could hear the MT100 right before each would have been really next level.

[@CarstenStepanowicz]

Bro, they all sound good but the Soldano & VHT are wild! 😍

[@kylebull2]

Soldano sounds incredible here for sure!

[@systematic11]

Tracked down and bought an MT100 last weekend. Took a little bit of dialing in, but absolutely IN LOVE with the Lead Channel. I got it where I want it. Mids and treb cooperating nicely to create this aggressive, throaty, nasty tone. Almost sounds like Ashes of the Wake with a little more low end balls on it. Filth.

[@jackace803]

It’s kinda crazy the slo and mt 100 are kinda similar which is my kinda sound for sure. That VHT sounded great too.

[@Fishtank186k]

Clever putting the dual rec and Bogner back to back. It’s been said the archon is a blend of those two amps. Totally can see that now

[@kylebull2]

Exaclty why I did it! Nice catch!

[@tonefreak3403]

Very good recording Kyle! I can really tell the difference in between each amp. The Herbert's low end is just so awesome!

[@Ya-boi-Josh]

6505 and Fireball had a different attitude than the others that I love, all sounded great in their own way though

[@gusmc01]

Thought most of them sounded great. The MT100 can definitely hang. The Bogner and Rectifier were a bit of a letdown. The ENGL sounds sick!

[@steves12strings]

The flavors are so different, but the EVH EL34, MT100 (and Archon by proxy), and Soldano really stood out. Fireball is a beast, too.

[@UbiLight]

They're all fine but Revv gen or some flavor of 5153 always takes the cake for me.

[@PaulCustom78]

Man, that SLO just sounds the meatiest and most dynamic of all of em. Can’t say I’m not impressed with the MT 100 though. At the price point vs some of these other high gain monsters, it’s a ripper! Can’t wait till my local shop gets one in for me to try. Great content as always, Kyle! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@heavymetaljesus2630]

we needed the blackstar!!! 🤣 Kyle, keep doing these tests, you are the best! Cheers!

[@guitartonetopia]

Volume differences change perception here too.. the recto is quiet vs others. We often perceive louder as better

[@BradRocker]

The Bogner ,SLO and EVH seem to tower over the others. Not that the MT100 sounds bad or anything. Sounds great. No I take that back, They all sound towering !!

[@bengottard7698]

Favourites were the Soldano and Peavey. Nice comparison, thanks dude

[@Metabolica1]

Its honestly crazy how similar most of these sound lol. I thought the Bogner sounded "The Best", but it honestly just sounds like what all othera would sound like with an OD to tighten them up anyway.

[@tonekilltech]

All these amps sound killer! That said, I'm waiting on a 6505 1992 from the next batch (fingers crossed for Jan '24), and so far, no comparison vid or demo has swayed me on that choice. Thanks for keeping this content coming! 🤘🎸🔥

[@markpenney46]

great comparison, i have an archon 100 and man i love that amp. through my speakers the mt100 sounds similar. good as im waiting on mine !

[@leemills1783]

Awesome comparison. That Engl still tops it for me

[@mjbdough7920]

Amazing video, Kyle you are really consistent at getting a balanced tone and putting the mic at just the right spot. I wonder if the perceived differences in Bogner and Revv would have been even less if the presence and treble had been higher on them?

[@DeckardRJ]

Another awesome video showing this huge palette of sounds for us to know and seek for!! Thank you, man!!

[@necroticpoison]

SLO sounds crazy good. Has the amp been modded at all, or is it straight stock? I'm often not much of a fan of its tone (anywhere) but it sounds so good inside this vid.

[@bloodsamael2945]

The Engl Fireball 100 sound is my favorite in this video haha

[@FrostGiantElectronics]

The VHT had the best in your face punch with the 5150 gang right behind it. The MT and Rec’s were too thin/sterile for me and the Rev has some boxy mids I don’t care for. The Bogner was killer but the mids need to be pulled a little back imho. Killer as hell comparison, I guess I’m still just a VHT and 5150 dude.

[@jeffreyschroder8004]

All were great; didn't care for the VHT( which was still good)

[@booganaga123]

Poor Blackstar. Great video Kyle!

[@kylebull2]

editing mistake

[@brrblack497]

Today the Bogner sounds best to me, tomorrow?

[@LouCondon-j1v]

Were all the amp controls set at straight up Noon for this demo? Most of the amps sounded great and a few had some extra Bass to them and of course the ENGL sounded like an ENGL ( Great ) I wonder how all the amp features compare. Great job on the video.

[@jasonapmarshallful]

The MT100 and the Archon seem very similar in tone, could you describe the differences if any that you hear when you did this Kyle? Thank you!

[@stavrosescobar1624]

Bogner, EVH, and Soldano sounded sick. The VHT seemed to have its own thing going on and sounded pretty damn mean as well. Blackstar wins for most effective noise gate.

[@flufficornss]

the diezel and the rev are the stand outs for me

[@huddleshuddles7360]

Great video! I played the MT100 and it has amazing feel in the fingers. Verry chewy. I played at store volume so nit much chance for noise. H0w was the noise on your setup compared to the others.? I've heard it's something in the effects loop or whatnot ...let me know your thoughts..Thanks!

[@LeMouk]

You managed to set all the amps to sound damn good, which makes for a rather difficult choice! My top 3 picks are the Bogner and Deliverance and Revv. The EVH and the PRS have insane price/quality ratio. I agree with another comment, I could probably dial in any of these beast to achieve a super satisfying hiGain tone, even without any added pedal! The Rectumfryer, Engl and Diesel are my least favorites on this video.Thanks Kyle, you rock!!🔥🔥🔥

[@brunorodriguezb.957]

Kyle awesome video! Please, can you do a Tonex capture for this amp?? PLEASE MAN!

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

Man, the sound of that Diezel!

[@mattyg695]

This is one of the few vids that showcase the amps and they actually sound different to me. I swear a lot of the YT vids doing an amp shootout sound the same and the only difference is volume.

[@omarheavy2009]

Man that Peavey 6505 1992 sounds damn good! Is this the new one on the market?

[@guitarghost1]

MT100, PRS Archon 100, Evh 5159-3, Herbert sounded the best. Archon, MT and EVH in that order.

[@Professional.Bro.777]

As always, peavey is king! That Mark Tremonti amp sounds mean tho

[@MackTheKnifeSlowly]

What models were the Bogner and Diezel? Likes the SLO the best btw.

[@Colin.W]

It hangs. But can’t decide if I liked the EVH or Soldano, maybe even the 6505 best.

[@nickharper8145]

Honestly really surprised how close I can get my Archon 100 to what you're displaying here with the MT100 but I am utilizing an MXR Ten Band in the loop.

[@kylebull2]

They sound very similar to begin with

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

I liked the amp with tubes the best.

[@DaltPlaysGuitar]

Maaaaaan they all sound so good, I can’t pick a single one of them

[@THE_JACKAL666]

The bogner uberschall sounds like a loaded freight train, coming down the hill without brakes, crushing everything on its path ! The VHT deliverance sounds like total armageddon

[@bradhill935]

love these comparisons!

[@Canadianwheelchairguitar]

If I had the cash I'd get my butt to the Canadian guitar franchise Long & McQuade order this amp & the Archon 1 X 12 cabinet ASAP!

[@mr.nobody68]

I did some comparing of the MT against every other amp. From the VHT until the end of the video, every single one of those amps was recorded WAY louder than the MT. Louder always sounds better. Can you re-test?

[@kagenotatsumaki]

This might be the best video to show why everyone loves Rectifiers, it was literally the only one that didn't sound 99% the same as every other amp.

[@richarddeeble09]

I liked both the PRS amps, the Fryette and the Engl the best. I didn't care for the amps I typically like through that cab - most of the 5150 and Soldano type amps (other than the Stealth) sounded very harsh in the upper mids

[@TudorAdrian]

That Archon sounds so close to the MT100, I couldn't tell them apart if blindfolded.

[@goranmarinic2923]

Bogner/REVV (can't decide which one is better) Archon is sounding super pleasant.

[@Ryno133]

That engl seems like it would cut through a mix really well without even trying.

[@jhall1492]

In my personal opinion the MT sounded better than everything except the SLO and the Revv, the EVH was sick also

[@yousocrazy1199]

if u make another comparison like this with MT100, please include Badlander 100 and EVH Iconic 80

[@GolfinGuitarist]

i was listening on good headphones and didnt notice the change from the 6505 1992 to the 5150 EL34... i was on my phone doom scrolling

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

I liked the part with the amps

[@Darth.Shredder]

The MT100 is very compressed. I don't hate it, but it's really squishy compared to something like a Marshall.

[@volkerlinzer844]

Are you reviewing the new Lichtlearm 150w Amp soon?

[@kylebull2]

Yep!

[@johnyang799]

MT1000 and Archon sound almost identical and are very close to soldano.

[@runxzze123]

6505 and EVH for me but i guess thats just what i graduate to. Then rec and Tremonti.

[@MotoRiff77]

If you put a mesa a bogner and archon in one sound u get the Mt100

[@bigmike9527]

That's not necessary a good thing

[@zyxwfish]

The bogner was my favorite because it was the only one that didn’t sound like a can of 🐝

[@Krypt666Norway]

I would say this is mostly due to sm57 on a V30

[@kylebull2]

This particular V30 was apparently very bright under a mic

[@vogtgrant1]

Blackstar with the massive diss!!

[@kylebull2]

Wasn't a diss, editing mistake

[@ihatehume1]

Hey Kyle. What ever happened to the review of the Diezel Hagen? You had the live stream about it and then never heard anything after.

[@kylebull2]

I still have it, just have a massive backlog to get through

[@brutalmorality5885]

Man the firball 100 is just insane....

[@dalebrothers9101]

i have the 5150 iii 50 watt stealth 6l6 looking to get one of the el34 versions after doing the c137 mod to your 50 watt el34 5150iii is there much difference between that and the 100 watt el34

[@kylebull2]

Yes, all the 50 watt models sound noticeably different from the 100 watt counterparts

[@Timanator]

Why does that Mt-100 say Archon on the badge?

[@michaelbarber590]

Personally, I think the Engl Fireball sounded best, followed by the MT100, followed by the EVH 5150 III. It blew my mind how close the MT100 comes to the 5150 III and Dual Rec, but at a better price point, and I'm sure the MT100 beats them both on the clean and OD channels as well. I would like to see the MT100 compared to the EVH 5150 Iconic because I have a feeling the Iconic will more than hold it's own against the MT100 at half the price.

[@gentlewolf1279]

Revv, Bogner, MT for me

[@gentlewolf1279]

ITs funny... Im watching this back and I would pick the MT, Soldano and Revv this time. Interesting how your ears can changes

[@TheCyberMantis]

Fireball and MT-100 is the same price. I'll take the ENGL.

[@thetribalist6923]

Kyle, I’m stealing pop-poo butt nugget. Great vid btw. Edit: I thought the amps that sounded the most distinctive or at least the most different were the Engl, VHT and the Diesel, which for my money sounded the muddiest and had the least gain but still was good. I was surprised how much the Mesa sounded like the Peavey.

[@lowtunedg9211]

The soldano, the Vht, the Engl and the Diezel were the best imo

[@mathew3268]

Killer video, thanks! ✌️

[@tonedover]

Love ur content but dont understand why a second channel? Wouldnt the monetization be more efficient on one channel??

[@justinsmithmusic]

Just a guess- more niche content like what he posts here might lead to less clicks on a larger portion of videos and less algorithmic support on the main channel if he bundled them all in one place.

[@kylebull2]

this, exactly

[@jasonsapp792]

I have no experience with the MT100 and am a PRS lover ... But there seems to be a lot of amp failures on this first run of the MT100 ... Hopefully it is just a start up glitch and they sort it out quickly

[@shredward666]

ENGL Fireball s#*+stomps the others imo, only one close was the Diezel. It’s safe to say the Germans have metal amps down 🤘😎🇩🇪

[@johnnekarmack6945]

What channel you use on Herbert?

[@dnadeau819]

That Diezel owned. It sounded like Dry but easy to play somehow. What model is that?

[@ashwitmoro]

Herbert

[@cunjoz]

is it me or do the PRSs, the rectifier, the peaveys and the soldano sound very very similar?

[@SRKanai1]

Honestly, I feel like the MT 100 hangs with most pretty damned well especially for it's level of versatility and for the price. The stand-outs for me are the SLO, the 6505 the VHT, and the Engle. While the Peavey runs about $1300 right now give or take, and the Engle goes for around $1900, they do not in my opinion have the same versatility of the MT100. The SLO and the VHT are obviously incredible but are considerably more and still (again in my opinion) don't have the lush cleans I find present in the MT100. Overall, I gotta say, I wouldn't mind owning the MT100 and probably will here in the near future.

[@NateJennings-fh8mc]

i love the archon and fireball the best

[@felipousismix]

Hey Kyle, I wonder why don' you record a clean guitar and just reamp it to have a consistent playing though them all.

[@kylebull2]

Because part of the fun of these videos for me is experiencing the amps back to back and really getting familiar with their differences not only in sound, but in feel, which I think is just as important. If I was just reamping a DI for a bunch of different amps, I feel this probably wouldn't be as fun for me and I wouldn't end up making the videos

[@johnbach2380]

Holy crap the herbert sounds so monsterous.... probably too big for a mix?

[@jrlee243]

When i got my MT100 i was kinda disappointed. It sounded so familiar, meaning i have amps that sound pretty dang close to it. I felt the same with the Engl Inferno by Marty Friedman. They are great amps but sound so close to many others. My bad cat linxs sound unique, Armored sabot, Revv120, Egnater Armageddon, heck the peavey invective 120 that i hate, but it has its own sound. Great amp, just not for me.

[@poopoo-qz7sw]

You say here we go and then I get an orio cookie commercial 😅

[@cizmar1972]

The PRS MT1 definitely can compete and was one of my favorites but dam... The Engl Fireball 100 was the best by a country mile.

[@howardgillingham4763]

As soon as that mesa hits, way better

[@kevinzx10r80]

Blackstar sounds the best! The soldano and diezel came pretty close

[@russelw.6288]

again shows the speaker is the main source of sound (when the amp is decent). They all sound cool but for me the 6505 just does it. When that thing comes on holy crap
