New Room & New Gear Tour - BadCat, Boogie and more

[@jonathananthony1901]

Rob Chapman. Thank you for 10 years of music and life related enjoyment! When I had the chance to meet you in Indianapolis Indiana you greeted me like a long lost friend! I don't know of many people who have achieved your level of success and that still care this much about fans. Please keep yourself up built as well. The world is a better place with Rob Chapman in it. Thank you!

[@tomassvaton3784]

And those Chapman guitars they make! Maaan!

[@stealthy7]

Don't often comment Rob, but just wanted to say you are a fantastic role model for the kids, and an inspiration to the older ones too. You are a completely unique bloke - that's what makes you special - you share your life with us for better or worse and I for one love it and you make me laugh often. Long live the Greeeeeetings and all things Chappers :-)

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

How many Smurfs did you kill to skin that Boogie, Rob? How many?!?! 🤣

[@Sen-ey5fg]

Not enough

[@EldubeG25]

Very refreshing to see you mix things up through the years! Glad you can! Changes from most who will spend their lives with a LesPaul/Marshall combo

[@Johnny_Dregs]

Chappers, thank you for the good talks about guitars, music, musicians, coffee ect.. Over the years it's been much appreciated.

[@suncoaster8578]

I really like this kind of tours. And I’m not tired of watching you. Thanks 👍🏻😎

[@benjaminsmall8446]

rob ive watched alot of your videos over the years and for some reason this one is one of my favorites love the gear talk and seeing the gear your using right now gear for me is always inspiring anyways do more videos like this one peace

[@GitShiddy]

That rug really ties the room together. ;-)

[@ToxicTerrance]

Sam Anderson Shut the hell up, Donnie, you're out of your element!

[@TheLambLive]

Fuckin' A man.

[@GitShiddy]

That's just like...your opinion man. :P

[@neilomac]

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. :o)

[@CC-ks3tj]

ShiverMeTimbers The China Man isn't the issue here! And please, Asian-American is the preferred nomenclature.

[@EasyHeat]

Rob, you are an inspiration and a treasure. Keep on being awesome man!

[@GwilymJames]

I don’t comment often either (the silent majority) but there is not enough of you :) Even just watching you walk around a room was a fun and enjoyable commute home while my wife listened in the background asking if orange amps were the cute orange ones :) keep it up man.

[@longrangelunatic]

Gwilym James exactly, it is hilarious and random when he turns up in other people's videos as well. Makes the KZbin guitar world seem like a small family.

[@harryemmott8597]

Please do more of these gear tours and/ or blogs like you did in your early days Rob. For me, they were some of your best content.

[@RC32Smiths01]

I swear your beard evolves every day! I would kill to have such ability! Great room tour man! Hope all is well in your life and your career!

[@nolanbell4086]

Love that you're changing it up, but I could listen to you play the same guitar and amp all day lol. Love your videos and music. Keep it up!

[@nickwith-seidelin5716]

That blue mesa rig is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.

[@shauncarter924]

Kudos, Rob. It’s good to see how successful you’ve become over the years. You inspire many people. I once had 2 guitars and 2 amps a the same time (which I had to get rid of due to kids and a mortgage) and I can’t imagine how awesome it would be to have a dozen guitars and a dozen amps lol. Keep rocking, buddy.

[@JimDewdGuitars]

Greetings Rob! I enjoying my new EBMM stingray and watching your videos. Thanks for inspiring me to start my own guitar channel and create my own music!

[@mishkatrahman20]

Rob when are we gonna see you and Cap review the British standard series Chapman guitars?

[@Shark_Sandwich]

Chappers' beard + new rug + general approach to life is making him more 'Dude' like by the day! And it really does tie the room together too...

[@DrShrimpPuertoRicoMD]

The Mark V 25 is a beast. So versatile. It’s my favorite. Enjoy it, and thanks for the videos chappers!

[@francois007jeremiah]

Guitar sound is fresh! I can See how important it is to push yourself and change things up once in a while

[@evanmiller2579]

Never get too much Rob. Thanks man for the great video.

[@danielcastillo1225]

Great equipment, nice room, especially the movie poster of the "Big Trouble in Little China"

[@scottdematteo]

Hey Rob, I have been following your channel as well as your associates channels for a long time now, own two of your guitars and often look to you for playing inspiration. Well I want to let you know you cost me a good deal of scratch $$ today :) I just bought a Bad Cat 40R. Black Friday special here in the USA, I got -$200 less than normal price and in a fancy red finish. Looking forward to rocking it out man. I need another boutique amplifier in my life like I need another hole in my head. My collection is vast to include, Orange, Dr Z, 65 Amps, Allen, Fuchs, and Boogie. Now I can add Bad Cat to that list, I have always wanted a Matchless style amp, I think this gets close. Cheers from Maryland, USA.

[@fnmag6809]

Keep going on Rob I love listening to you I like to look at you all your gear it's just a treat to watch and listen to you play guitar thanks so much will see you soon

[@adamekcar]

Nice tour and gear. And still rocking the poster!

[@AllenHarrison]

its the romance of playing an amp that the modelers will never capture, just like vinyl!

[@DDischner]

Love your videos! Can't wait for video on the BadCat...

[@AstraVex]

That rug really ties the room together, hope nobody pees on it....

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Or steals it...

[@EliaForce1984ita]

I'll never have a rug, neither now or in the future, due to *cats* D:

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Awesome video rob!, never get tired or bored with your content brother, guitars and gear is my life and passion.... Would love to see that sonic blue boogie, which is absolutely amazing, in action one day with a proper demo video...cheers brother ,keep doing what you do man!

[@LCW_01]

Chappers please do a vid where you rip on that small Boogie!! Love the new room! So cool especially the rug.

[@JamesShore1990]

That rug really ties the room together.

[@stuartjames9452]

Love your Iron Maiden stuff Rob.....Fantastic job with you room man, am only a little bit jealous 😉

[@shane2973]

Good for you brother!! you guys all seem like really cool guys. Funny, I just bought a 594, love the guitar not crazy about the color, but you helped me get through it! And because I love the guitar I am starting to feel the color

[@dhaddix1973]

Hey man if you were not everywhere on you tube I may have never picked up a 6 string and started playing so thank you for all your content

[@ToxicTerrance]

1:46 The Big Lebowski reference.. love it.

[@bengalvin9932]

great now when we look up BADCAT and ORANGE we will see you mug thanks rob!

[@devonasher7857]

That rug really ties the room together lol

[@baldybonce29]

Not bored never bored of the chapster!!

[@markaochoa2017]

It’s been some time. I enjoy these vlogs about your gear.

[@flucs2121]

I fancy the spider-like reflection on the guitar at 13:30 :-) Greetings from France

[@burroughs334]

The binding on that ML-1 with the maple neck is a very cool combo! Nice looking guitar, dude.

[@tommyking6993]

Congrats on the boogie rob. I've got the surf green version . . Lovely amps with killer midrange. I even bought a sterling cutlass to match! It's all about the colour coding! :)

[@barry3045]

Hello Chappers, love this room, and that MLV . Cheers.

[@junomartini-zeller614]

I am unbelievably jealous. nice room though, 10/10 would steal

[@patrickohagan8305]

Well done on the video today. Many Thanks

[@briantomkinson7134]

Love the Boogie i have the same set up in the Custom Teal colour, Great amp, room is cool

[@stevemacneil4819]

Cool room, I suggest trying a Kiesel Zeus someday, the way you recommend sitting with a guitar in a previous video made me try one out and with the short heel they are very comfortable, great fiddles.

[@dartin9145]

It was a long time that you uploaded a new vidoe good to see you again Rob.☺🤘

[@GeoffSweet]

Isn't that Boogie just a wolf in sheep's clothing? Great lil beast. Enjoy Rob.

[@ScrambledDeth]

Love the Big Lebowski reference. Very nice slide in there. Lol

[@Newbyrock23]

The audio engineer in me immediately went, “oh boy that mic is waaaay too...(rob moves mic knowingly).....oh thank god” 😂 setup looks great rob, that badcat is a great amp. Really versatile and simple all at once strangely. I’ve used BC for a while in the studio now, they record very well.

[@davidburke2132]

Love how you describe clean channels on amps by how much drive/dirt they can do! You do know they are allowed to be actually “clean” right Rob?! 😋

[@freddyschulp3766]

Get a lazy j 20 to add to your boutique collection, it will fulfil any and all of your vintage bluesy needs

[@bottleneck1100]

love the baby blue rig. He now needs a purple fade victory cab to go with the V. Purple Fade, all in my brain, lately things just don't seem the same.

[@marcusthemonkey]

That Dunlop octave fuzz sounds incredible. I’ve been running through boutique octave fuzz boxes and maybe need to give the basics a shot.

[@maxheavner6392]

Dude I just picked up a studio 22 a couple days ago. One of the old ones from the 80s. It’s so cool that you could have pretty much any amp you wanted but you choose the same one I did.

[@king-kore-studios]

Yes, The smell of power tubes cooking !!!

[@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy]

While I wouldn't recommend to do this everyday, a shot of Southern Comfort in coffee is rather nice.

[@spartacus2296]

I’m liking the Negan look Chappers ;)

[@christophernland7463]

YOUR BEARD IS AMAZBALLS!!!!

[@MobileDecay]

Nice System of a down beard. 😀

[@RyanCogar]

All i thought in the initial intro was "danggg... Rob's beard came along nicely" haha

[@jasonalberto5925]

Only a few nights ago I was wondering where Rob is and thinking maybe something was wrong with my youtube account as I have not been getting any Rob Chapman videos for a while. Good to see you Rob. You look well and rather chilled. Nice room. The rug brings it all together. How's your little lad doing? I hope I live long enough to see him play that PRS and be the next guitar hero.

[@HIMcules2112]

i bet that OR100 could really shake the pillars of heaven.

[@danieljdtaylor]

1. This video was classic cheeky chappers 2. That Mesa Boogie may be the best looking amp ever! 3. That is a wild pedal collection 4. Also love when you demo the Badcat you use a fuzz octave and wah to completely colour the true sound 😂 classic chappers but it sounded great

[@reecemurdoch2833]

Hey Rob, I was just wondering if you and Dave could maybe throw out some more stuff for bass?! I totally disagree about seeing you everywhere as overwhelming/boring, and the story of you guys coming from where you were to where you are now is so inspiring. I have been looking around for a 5 string bass to record with (in a melodic rock/metal style but with a flat tone), and I am heavily leaning towards the MLB1-5, but I would just love to see a little bit more about it in general? I can't begin to imagine how time consuming everything is, but as a bassist and lover of music - I would definitely appreciate more bass content as well! I hope people can like this so that it has a greater chance of being seen! Much appreciated people :)

[@SylsMusicRoom]

I wish I have a bad cat! Nice New Room

[@KristianHeartmusic]

Chappers your never boring still love to watch all your gear demo vids keep on keepin on brother 🤘 btw I agree with using a real amp and real pedals it’s a lot more enjoyable an pleasing personally.

[@brettmarlar4154]

The Kemper is best suited for touring as to not run risk of destroying your valve amps on the road. At home/the studio, you can use the real deal that can easily be adjusted on the fly. Just make sure to profile the settings before hitting the road!

[@this_way_to_the_egress]

That boogie is the colour of my soul

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

What you have between the Kemper and the real things is what I have with digital and film photography. I was really fascinated with how amazing digital sensors/cameras are years ago. And they still are and even more impressive nowadays. - But I turned bored because of the unlimited digital aspect, and being able to do about anything also gave me that "option paralysis" on top of that. - It just stopped having soul or meaning to me, so I put the camera down for years. - Then someone offered me a bunch of old film-cameras and I became inspired again. - It the physical thing, something that us humans can get into contact with, like it tangible and just more "organic". Cause in a way it is. - I think analogue equipment in expression and art is really essential to what you produce. Be it film for photography and printing and image, or using either valve or solid state amplifiers, or even analogue synths for electronic music, and things like recording to tape or records on vinyl... All of that bridges a gap between humans and materials, and direct to digital is just too sudden.

[@TheJaysimus]

Room looks good...one day, I may achieve the goal of having a practice room that awesome Looking forward to hearing those Chapman pedals...good chance that they may end up being my first Chapman acquisition Hope to see more from you and Clockwork Wolf & Co in the future

[@oisinmcphillips2090]

Hey Rob, do you ever get the chance to play your big valve amps, such as the Oranges, seeing as you have other people in the house?

[@DevunGames]

I'm sure that he has an attenuator for his collection.

[@nigelprince1758]

Not bored of you sir keep on doing what you do

[@larryphelps6607]

dude, you are the one point of sanity in a world of psychosis.

[@cursedbyzen9510]

Badass beard Rob!

[@jamesortiz5388]

Happy for your happiness!

[@Holtenstein]

My first tube amp was the Mesa Boogie .22 too. That's awesome. If you like the MK V 25? Wait to until you try the MK V 35. Its got a footswitch more like the MK IV, 4 EL-84s and it comes in a combo that weighs only 44lbs. Pretty sweet. I finally tried a Victory Sheriff 44 and its amazing. I need more of that in my life too. Heres to more Victory amps in the States!

[@SimonC7777777]

Rob and vintage guitars. I cannot wait to see what he likes as he is coming from a whole new angle...... he is a guitar modernist......

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Big Trouble in Little China board game?!?!?! Yes, please!😁😁

[@petelawler2199]

It is a really nice rug.

[@jTone40]

great set of sound makers .

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

show us your gear thats specially ment for Metal tones...PLEASE...Metal is love, Metal is life 🤘😍

[@memebigboy1946]

OR100 is a badass amp for some raw saturated doom rock. The 3 types of gain in one dial is a great feature for versatility.

[@CoryMura]

i could be totally wrong here but beeing a man of depression myself.. i see those same marks in your face here. again i hope i am completely wrong here and you are just tired or similar and wish you all the best. take care

[@officialWWM]

Cory Mura the mark of the musician...

[@RobChappers]

Cory Mura Hi dude I appreciate the concern, actually I just returned from two weeks in Asia so I am still recovering from jetlag, I also shot this video at 8 AM :-)

[@judosailor]

Awkward. And yet, in today’s day and age better to reach out and be awkward than do nothing and miss an opportunity to help. That said, you look fine to me, Rob! Haha.

[@ronnienose8608]

Cory Mura You're a good man Cory. Take care mate.

[@filnn]

Epic beard. It suits you!

[@frollixz3773]

I'm proud to say I played that particular mark V 25 last time I was at andertons (with an ml3 pro modern) it's awesome

[@adozensparrows]

That's a lot of Swag, Chappy: Nothing good is easy; nothing good comes free.

[@GuitarzanPete]

haha you're the first person I've heard who can throat whistle like I do :P

[@Joshua083]

Wow this a room and gear tour I was just capture by the beard I didn’t even notice anything else 😂😂😂

[@ordinarypablo]

We all get sick of our selves once in a while, is not wrong to feel like that, what I feel that is wrong is not grow and learn from that. Sometimes I think that when you are sick of being/thinking/feeling and even playing in the same way is because one is closing to learn new things.

[@kierenmoore3236]

Really TIE the room together, DUDE ...

[@peter__horgan]

Great setup! That is the first time I've ever seen a tuner in the middle of a pedal board. Any particular reason for it?

[@nathanpetrie6156]

The badcat is essentially a hotroded AC30 essentially as ac30s are really about 37/38 watts and that’s 40 also it’s got the ef86 like an ac30 and the controls are like an ac30s too boost with the bass treble and the tone cut

[@MrMattsucksatguitar]

I love how you’ve shifted your playing style from shredding every chance to slowing down and playing more melodic and with feel. KZbin comments do work!! You still rock, your guitars are shiet, but you’re still a great guy!

[@mandolingrass]

I've always put salt in coffee for years, since I was a student chef/waiter and I'm 50 next year! Takes the bitterness away.

[@sjftech]

Why not the SM7B as a vocal mic? It's an amazing vocal mic :) Especially for the harsher stuff!

[@neatspy]

Hey Rob. Nice gear run through. Do you have an issue with Soya milk curdling in your coffee? If so, how do you get around this? Cheers!

[@ellisdugg]

Lovely "RUM" rob 😂💜

[@anderslindegaard4103]

Hi Rob, awesome room, and the new amps look amazing! I was just wandering if you switch the cable in the cap to the head every time you need to play one of the other amps, or do you have some sort of pedal trickary that allows you to do this? Cheers from Denmark :)

[@AJ-fo7rm]

Rob can you do a sound like Zappa with Bea and Matt please ;-) Nice setup you've got there now, A.J
