[@spencerkoch1]

Wow Ben really knows how to describe the sound of an amp.

[@TVguy9999]

My first amp Marshall, next one l got a Vox and my most recent amp is a Fender Princeton. Each one sounds and works a bit differently with my pedals. Buy used if possible...and save cash!

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

@Time the Avenger i will basically never buy things new but i never tell others to unless they're strapped for cash. if everyone bought used then there would be nothing new to become used hahaha

[@charliewesley94]

Funny how similar a lot of our experiences are. I bought a 100 watt JCM 900 as my first upgrade from my beginner/solid state Peavey and Fender amps. It was also a 4x12 and WAY too much for what I needed. Next was a Vox AC 10 and then a Fender Deluxe Reverb 68 reissue. I've been very happy with the Vox/Fender either in combination or as solo amps since then. I absolutely agree that you should buy used when you can, but ask a lot of questions and if things sound too good to be true they probably are. Thanks for these great videos Rhett.

[@andtothewestamerica]

Also, play multiple copies of the amp you decide you want to buy! I played 4 or 5 Princeton 65 reissues and one sounded way better that the others and had a much lower noise floor.

[@Pdnlegs]

My FIRST amps were little crappy fender front man 15s. a bass one and then a guitar one. But since then I got a Vox VT20 modeler, a Fender Princeton Reverb with a 12inch Cannabis Rex speaker and covered in tweed, and a Marshal DSL 40cr. I guess i got the three main catagories covered. though a proper Vox would be a nice upgrade. the VT20 does a decent job modeling the AC sounds. That one has actually been passed down to my 7 year old son lol.

[@andtothewestamerica]

@@Pdnlegs I have a hemp cone in my Princetone, too, I love it

[@canucklehead0]

I'll be flat out honest with you, that little Morgan AC20 sounded gorgeous and would likely be all I would ever need! That being said I have already started a savings fund for that unbelievably gorgeous Divided / 13 amp head!! Merry Christmas Rhett and Family and Merry Christmas to this community!!

[@beatlesrgear]

Divided by 13 amps are pretty amazing, but so are the new Bad Cat amps. I have a Bad Cat Cub III 15R (combo amp) and it sounds glorious. I love it!!! It does the Vox AC30 sound so well and can get Fendery, as well. Check out Bad Cat amps, they are wonderful.

[@coachster]

The Milkman Creamer was awesome until I saw the price. 😮

[@Bellabaddi]

Yep. A lot of dough for a supped up Princeton... It does sound nice tho! I have an Allen but I often lust over a milkman (not a real milkman) and Tone King amps. I’d like them all tho, I’ve had every style (Fenders-Tweeds & BF, Vox, Mesa, and Marshall), miss them all. Am I the only one that thinks that divided amp is ugly and sounds OK, but not too spectacular??

[@evanmiller2579]

It just dawned on me why your channel stands out my friend. You mix in your own riffs and runs that you like to play with bursts of some familiar tunes that have gotten air play over the years. It makes the tones so much more relatable. From a guitar player’s perspective I feel more like I am trying out the gear. There are other popular KZbin channels that feature so much incessant noodling that actually hearing the tone becomes impossible. Great job. Keep playing and I will keep on listening. Hope to catch you in Nashville next time you are there.

[@borisvangriensven1560]

For such a small channel, you role out some very high-quality videos. Getting a perspective on music from someone who tours regularly is something I have never found on youtube. I hope your channel grows rapidly as more people appreciate this gem of a channel. I am here to stay.

[@Bikeadelic]

He has 600k subs, thats not small

[@dangledstash]

I love your videos, man! Hands down the best content for musicians on KZbin! Keep crushing it

[@gd9986]

these guitar and amp comparison talk throughs are really good and unique. The high level categorizations and then showing examples of each category is eye opening. Its very intimidating walking into a guitar store and not knowing what certain guitars sound like or what certain amps sound like and, when i was growing up, staff were not open to an enthusiastic kid trying out equipment unless it was clear they were buying that day. Thanks for doing these walk throughs

[@rome8180]

My problem with buying amps is that they all sound great in the store.

[@angry546]

rome8180, they sound even better when pro's play them.

[@KeolaDonaghy]

That was truly awesome and the best amp comparison video I've ever watched as it really touched on all of the important elements anyone should consider when purchasing one. Makes me wish I had the money (and space) to add a few of them to my measly collection.

[@MikeHilbun]

Great video! I loved how everything was broken down into the 3 main categories with characteristics of each. I’d love to see a video from you similarly discussing overdrive pedals!

[@jordandangelo180]

Awesome video Rhett. All of your videos are great BUT...the videos are Ben are by far my favorite. His guitar knowledge is second to none and he has a way of taking something like buying a new guitar or a new amp, a process which could be overwhelming in 2019 and finds a way to simplify it and make a much less daunting task. Really hoping for more of these videos.

[@krisbeck319]

Rhett, I love how Slave is one of your go to test riffs, it shows up in your vids pretty often. I do the same thing because you have to find that articulated crunch. Great video!

[@KurtLeBlanc]

Wow thanks Rhett. This amp comparison was great. Very valuable to have this on KZbin.

[@breadenthusiast]

Hell Yeah! Loved this video. Keep the great content coming Rhett!

[@gilbydeluxe8419]

Shortly after starting learning guitar I also learned how to build my own guitar amps. I built a JTM45 from scratch...not a kit. I learned about every single component and how it worked. After building over 10 amps...my favorites are the Fender Blackface Princeton, Blackface Deluxe, JTM45, Fender Tweed Deluxe, and Fender Tweed Champ. Real components...real tubes...it just feels better playing these amps.

[@mvyper]

That's awesome! You had a background in electronic engineering or you learnt everything from ground zero?

[@clarkerobertson2764]

After playing 50+ years and going through Fenders, Mesas, Marshalls and Riveras, I finally broke down and got a Vox AC30HW2 a couple of years ago, and it will probably be the last "big" amp I'll ever buy. I can get any kind of sound I want from it, from country to hard rock, even jazz. The only down side is that it's so damn heavy!

[@elwrongo]

yep, stupid heavy, mine never leaves the house because of that

[@chaza.2891]

Hi y’all, so I got rhett’s tone course, and I’m half way in, just loosing my ish it is so on point. I have been looking for a class like that FOR YEARS. I just want to say thanks to Rhett and hope that he knows he was made for this. I have been playing since 1993, And I about to build my first guitar rig, sounding exactly the way I wanted it to sound because of Rhetts course. Best wishes and stay safe y’all.

Happy Holidays Rhett! 🌟 This video rocks 110%

A Mesa Triple Rectifier with a 4x12 cab would be perfect for me ( and the type/style/genre of music I play). Still, a very informative video for those that don't understand the history of amplifiers and know what modern amps are actually based off of. Even as complicated as a Triple Rectifier may be for some, it still has very humble beginnings.

[@johnnyvandutch2914]

Another great video, thanks to you both. I wish you'd made this years ago as it would have saved me a fortune in experimentation but I had a fun journey from Marshall, to Fender to AC style amps back to Fender.

[@ExasBits]

I prefer clean (Fenderish), dirty (Voxy) and nasty (Marshalled) for classifying. 😊

[@charlespatrick8650]

Joseph Rabb yep

[@rolux4853]

How does the fender tweed range fit into your categories? Of course it sounds great clean, but when an amp starts to overdrive at 4/12 of the volume, I would not consider it an clean amp.

[@ExasBits]

Ro Lux a clean amp with an over drive pedal included. To me it’s about how the amp dynamically react to the gain, not necessarily how much gain it has.

[@ExasBits]

Roy Batty to you point amps diverge greatly from the big three. It’s just a handy way to narrow down what family it comes from. It’s kind of like defining music genres then shoehorning bands into the category. The definition may fit but it doesn’t tell you everything about the sound.

[@noahguttell8175]

Carr Mercury V would be worth trying to see if it’s a good fit. Tone, versatility, portability, features.

[@GeoFitz4]

My first Tube Amp was a Marshall DSL40. I was lucky to have a pretty decent sales guy I worked with at Guitar Center and he pointed me towards that when I was looking for my first tube amp. It was used, but he knew the guy that had sold it and said the guy routinely bought stuff and sold it 6-12 months later so he knew it was well taken care of. I can turn it down and play it nicely at home, but it also had the power to play in a band. That was probably 12 years ago. A few years ago I finally bought my second Tube Amp, a Fender Blues Junior because I wanted a Fendery Amp at a price I could afford at the time and play at home. Love both of them since they give me different sounds for what I want at the time.

[@flancho3]

this video has been very useful for me to understand what I want/need from an amplifier. Thanks a lot, man

[@BoboJr3]

OMG finally a video with a BTR23!!! Such a great amp and I love mine.

And hey, bring that Divided by 13 home. Happy Holidays to both (all) of You :)

[@RhettShull]

[@57ebartley]

I can get by with a blues Jr. and my pedal board. My highest powered amp is a 22 watt supersonic combo. We mic the amps with Plexi shielding most of the time to keep the stage volume down. All those amps you showed were way too expensive for most of the bands around here.

Amps have changed so much from when I first started using distortion pedals and my Electro-Harmonix Poly Chorus. I recently bought a little Vox for my room with so many effects built in it's ridiculous.

[@StephenGallacher]

Some great sounding amps in this video - My first proper amp was a Laney GH100L with matching 4x12, and it was great - lovely clean tone that handles pedals (or multi FX since it was the 90s) really well, I still have it and it's great, but the 4x12 is at the back of a cupboard and almost never gets out these days. I've been really lucky to have owned a few other amps over the years which gives me a crazy number of options, but that old Laney is still going, just through a smaller cabinet these days.

[@Silas-lc9op]

Right on... I found my tone with the Laney Ironheart. Love it. Its my show and recording amp. I use a Marshall 4x12 with it, or a GK 2x12, depending where Im playing. I like Laney a lot

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

My rig for about 15 years consisted of a 1966 Fender Super Reverb and a 1965 Fender Pro Reverb. I ran them in Stereo just using an old Ibanez chorus to split the signal and the first series rat for Distortion and man I was in seventh heaven! I wish I still had those amps particularly that Pro Reverb!

@@cardbored_ I would’t take a Friedman over my Marshall 1959 Handwired. But then again, I had a good master volume installed on mine. I think Marshall’s Plexi varieties, JCM800s, and Silver Jubilees hold up quite well. But I can’t comment on the more affordable amps.

I have a 1965 Gretsch (valco supro) it sounds very similar to my RED 1978 Marshall 50W. My 67 Dual Showman is pretty clean but the cleanest most incredible amp for power is my 65 Twin Reverb. I had the tube amp repair guy fix all my amps before retiring. The DS never has any problems. He grounded the plugs, and fixed a tube here and there. He told me in 45 years of amp repair the Twin was the best sounding amp he's ever heard. I got it home, plugged it in, (it had been in the attic for 15 years) and I was amazed all over again. I put 2 Vintage 30s in it several years ago and never used it after that.I think I can honestly say the power and clarity are unmatched. For rocking tone, I still prefer the Marshall. I am going to start working with the Gretsch more. Strange setup. an amp in the bottom and one on top. It's a bass amp, with an acordian input. Guessing it's got nothing going for bass, but it kicks ass for guitar. Thanks for this feature.

Rhett...thank you for all you do. Hey Tilly... there's a gold SG and an amp at Righteous guitars that Santa may want to give Rhett...just saying...😂

[@alexis-nl6pc]

Unfortunately the gold SG sold the day after he came in

[@abcdefghijklmnop7873]

Chivalry218 it sold right after they saw Rhett play it. It was $5 grand plus tax.

Princeton 112 plus was my first amp with distortion, completely changed my life when I was 13. I was playing on my Fathers 60's Gibson tube amp until it began to smoke.

Crazy how small this community is. Ben sold me my first few pieces of gear at the guitar center on 41. I also went to AIM. It’s great to see both of you flourishing .

[@dep1001]

Awesome! So did you get the amp? ;) Merry Christmas, Rhett!

Better than Marshall ? That's like trying to find the most beautiful woman or handsomest man. It's really a matter of taste.

I picked a new brand amp over a Marshall in mid 80s.. It sounded so much better..... I can honestly say that marshall is way overrated and overpriced. I recently sold that amp as I was moving abroad but it sounded as good as it did the day I purchased it

[@MrBothandNether]

a pickup is usually involved, too :P

@@acw2237 Old school non-master-volume Marshall plexi tone is where it's at, and possibly the JCM's, but I prefer plexis.

Great video. Very informative and mostly serious. Great playing, btw.
