The CRAZIEST Amp In The World! (RedSeven Leviathan)

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Man, I love this amp! What do you think of the tones and looks?

[@smoker0081]

I want this amp model in the axe fx 3😍

[@AygisMusic]

Not into the color schemes personally, but the tones are very tight and clear. I think the extended range guitars get the most out of it in my opinion. That meshuggah guitar with the boost is so imposing.

[@danthegeetarman]

This amp sounds amazing! Your tones are always great! Of course I would be remiss if I didn’t beg and plead for you to create a Tonex profile for this one 😁

[@vogtgrant1]

Man, I love it! Finally a video that does the amp justice. I didn't feel like any of the others showcased the sound as well as your video has! Always love your tone and riffs brother!

[@ocdanthony]

Love it! Captures?!?!

[@timurhant469]

I like the grid and definition without feeling weak or oversaturated. You dialed it to the point where it sings and hits at the same time. Great Intro btw. Cheers!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@randymccoy2527]

That trem on 17? was just crushing. I was actually shocked how heavy that was. Just. Perfect. You tones are always soooo good.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@CraigCrider]

Man, that is so cool, such great tones. I gotta say all the new songs/riffs are just killer. When you hit the main riff with the Black Metal (19:19) I inadvertently blurted out "FUCK YES!".

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Haha thanks so much man!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

That was my favorite riff! :)

[@SimonMeunier]

The amount of riffs and grooves in this video is insane ! Sound huge

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@tylerjames460]

Killer video and killer sound as always! I can’t wait for this to be featured in future “one amp one song” videos as well as “one riff 53+ amps” videos

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thank you! Definitely putting this through the One Song process!

[@johnnysguitarcorner5510]

It is an amazing amp, I played it at axe palace. Great demo btw. The only thing I don't understand is that high gain amplifier companies still don't build a noise gate in it. Only Engl

[@Durkhead]

So they can sell more emg pickups

[@tobaccosun]

Marshall, Revv, Egnater, Engl.. many have made amps with noise gates built in… 🤷‍♂️

[@simonr344]

this amp nails that thing I love about real amps that I don't feel sims have truly got down yet, that chime and "3D-ness" for want of a better phrase, you can really hear the tubes 😂

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Oh yeah, totally agree!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Fantastic video, demo song and tones Jon!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Grazie!

[@hmtp177]

LOVE the Bending Sirens in the intro

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks! That was inspired by the soundtrack of The Dark Knight!

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

The amp is really impressive but you dude, you just keep getting better and better and your riffs are just so damn catchy!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks so much!

[@RyvenProductions]

That is one of the coolest looking amps I have ever seen, and it sounds incredible. You are one lucky man.

[@HughJassill]

What a unique sounding distortion, super heavy when palm muting but the clarity while picking is wild.

[@dots.sounds]

now that sounds really versatile! nice demo again

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thank you!

[@picksalot1]

Your gear, Amps, Guitars, etc. always sound great - The sign of a really accomplished musician. The backing tracks are outstanding as well. I assume you program them? If that's the case, maybe a video about your process would be cool/useful.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thank you! Yes I program everything by hand

[@picksalot1]

@@SonicDriveStudio Like everything else you do, they sound awesome!

[@HeavyInHawaii]

What a great amp! The opening demo gave me an Orange vibe, it just has a lot of clarity. Sounds like it can go balls to the wall Marshall as well.

[@hyperbolekid]

Very cool amp, congrats! I bet you helped sell a few redseven amp central’s so glad to see them hooking you up w their flagship product. Their stuff is a bit too expensive and very limited in the US so will need to wait until used market has them.

[@BORA0811]

Your tone is insane :)

[@docsworld1369]

Great review. The amp sounds incredible!! And your riffs are just crazy good!!

[@justingarneau]

Throughout the video I had my eyes wide open and the taste of all selling for this amp .... WOW

[@markjohnson2937]

finally someone did a proper demo on this amp. it was like they incapable of dialing in a clean tone on it for some reason!

[@privityband]

This amp sounds great!

[@chadsux]

Holy shit man...the tone on that Ibanez 8 string was insane. Like...I usually HATE how 8+ string guitars sound but my god...that was amazing.

[@MRxr400]

loved the clean and crunch of channel one. second example with LP is about as much gain as would normally use. but all of the levels of drive were very tasty and easy/pleasing to the ear. great sounding amp

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@leegallatin480]

I've been patiently waiting for you to demo this amp. its such a gorgeous piece of gear ! I love that joker theme. so cool . Is their Duality amp capable of getting the same chug!? this one sounds right in the middle of an Orange and a Marshall tone. Soldano -ish even . Great Demo

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks! I haven't tried the Duality so I can't say...

[@void_snw]

Oooo that clean is like the nice saturation from a low to medium gain Plexi clean but with the EQ character of a fender instead of the super sparkly marshall thing, that's interesting! The amps crunch also reminds me a lot of a modded Plexi, in that it's more modern in it's bass response. Very nice.

[@janwlaaa]

Great new riffs!

[@GMx_1]

Hey - nice! You deserve it, you have really helped me over the past couple years learn about tones, about different brands, etc... Plus I think the demo songs you come up with are some of the very best here on the interwebs! You should be on Spotify (are you?) anyway I think you are super lucky and I am sure you really appreciate this amp - shoot it should be worth a ton of money for sure - not that I would ever sell it. Cheers!

[@gentlewolf1279]

This thing sounds great! Love the note articulation

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Amazing articulation indeed!

[@gr070491]

After this video It Will be impossibile for every guitarist that plays even a Little metal not to desire this amp. Looks and sounds Crazy good!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@monstruonegro05]

Tremendous tones!!! 🤩

[@gregweir5462]

Damn, these tones are no joke!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Glad you like 'em! And I see what you did there... ;)

[@reservedco]

The definition of that amp is amazing! Such clarity through all gain stages. And P.S. your drum samples are killer!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks! :)

[@bassgearbeergeek9754]

Ok, need Neural Captures now 😜😜😜 Great video, as always !

[@holseyba9455]

I got one of the lambo green ones last year. It meshuggah’s like a champ

[@brandonjackson5865]

Cool amp I love the knobs!

[@trevv5886]

My dream amp Jon. Gotta save up

[@backpackmark]

Great sounds, thanks for the review 😀

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Cheers!

[@drabikofficial3767]

KILLER TONES! plus they're made in Veneto ;)

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks! Yes, hand-built in Italy!

[@moonelfcosmo]

This amp rocks on every level! 🤘🏽

[@EdwVee]

Part of tone controls and off/on on the back? So much handy!

[@sb6232]

The riff @ 17:33 NICE!!!!!

[@toonhabrakenmusic]

Wow, that is awesome! Great sound and cool looking amp 👌🏻

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks man! :)

[@TheGunmac10]

5150 savage fortin hybrid. Sounds great and more balanced and natural than any of those.

[@James-o1w5h]

Impressive! Its like its tick and tight at the same time

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Yeah!

[@alegutierrezmusic]

From now my favourite amp, sounds as good as the ENGL for metal. Just awesome, by the way music also great this time.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks mate!

[@maartenspruijt3072]

As always a great video. Like the amp, sounds good and looks awesome.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Ah cheers mate!

[@stefanmathies3363]

Hey Jon! Great Great craftsmanship - as always! Maybe you can break down your mixing process someday, somehow? Really digging' your sound. Especially the 'low lows'. Would be very interesting, at least for me, how you achieve that kind of 'fundament' in your mixes. Almost sounds like your bass is moving some 'reverb air' or something. Really cool! Anyhow, Cheers from Austria, Stefan

[@ehiracheta]

This amp is sooo excellent. The only thing missing for me is a switch to turn the effects loop on/off so I can do that in Midi...I use that kind of feature in gigs. Easy to program a clean dry/wet, dirty dry/wet dirty Master2 dry/wet. I wonder if its possible to turn the effects loop on/off via midi.

[@ehiracheta]

I'm gunna definitely add a Red Seven to my arsenal this year! I just saw other models have a switch the effects loop if the Leviathan doesn't.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Good question. Check the manual?

[@citiesunderthesea8445]

This amp made you play more aggressively than I’ve heard before! It seems like a good fit for you.

[@manos6426]

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!! Dude that is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks! They did an amazing job for sure!

[@BlackHeart_YouTube_Channel]

Holy shit! This sounds like the perfect Metal amp

[@SonicDriveStudio]

It is! :) Glad you like it!

[@MaxPowersTastyTones]

Holy moly! Tasty indeed!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Cheers matey!

[@jimforce2690]

Love it!

[@reecespecis8669]

Great demo ! RedSeven is such a progressive company love what they doing and the vision they have for their products.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks! R7 is doing a tremendous job for sure!

[@Zygnus]

Another great video. Hey Jon, would you consider selling Quad Cortex captures of your amps? You consistently come up with the best tones I've seen, you have a very extensive amp collection, and you certainly know your way around gear. While the QC doesn't have an official market place for captures yet, I've seen others selling them via their own websites, and then sharing them privately with buyers, and I would be very interested in purchasing your captures - specifically captures done without a cab, just with the load box, as I like to plug my QC into a clean tube power amp and then to my own cabs.

[@deepghetto8968]

Must've been in the studio on the Immutable sessions with that last riff.

[@Jimmytohr]

Very nice tones man ! Sick amp . I have one to and think it is one of the best I´ve owned . Did you use a noisegate and if where ? before or in the loop , and also did you use a boost pedal ? Nice tunes

[@JasminMusic1602]

Honestly,every amp sound same to me...but impulse response makes sound different ! Btw...you are great guitar player

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Sorry to hear that mate. On the other hand it means that a lot of amps will probably please you, so that's nice!

[@Buica-4]

Damn it , sounds amazing 👏

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@KevinJonesRocks]

This Amp Sounds Amazing 💎🎶🎸

[@Daclaem]

i found the amp interresting but, for my taste, definitly lacks some bite. 7:38 wow i love that tune !

[@SonicDriveStudio]

You could always add more presence and treble!

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

I would love to see a schematic for this amp as well as other modern boutique amps, such as the Driftwood Purple Nightmare. These companies say they are original circuits and not copies of, say, the SLO100. I believe it, but I would still like to see what’s going on under the hood.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I guess you'd have to buy one and open it up :)

[@user-mm3zd5yv5z]

This is the ultimate modern amp, combining a Rectifier-like top end with plenty of low mids.

[@gergelyboros8138]

Uh that crunch sound on ch1 is sweet!

[@cedricdemeulenaere2337]

Crazy !!!!!

[@jamescassidy4045]

So Badass!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

It is isn't it? :)

[@Yeahwhoduh]

I have so many people who have tried to buy mine 😂 Haven’t found anything like it so definitely keeping it

[@soundthesirens4886]

Do you connect the line out to the reactive load or a speaker input? Thanks!

[@PereRevert]

Jon, these tones are unreal... more than gorgeous! The look is killer. By the way, I don't know if I missed it in the video, but guessing you are using the Red Seven Amp Central as a load box, correct? Which settings please? Did you used it as a passive device (no connected to the mains) or used the inbuilt IR loader? Thank you man!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks! Yes as a passive reactive load

[@adiecummingsshredguitar9306]

Yes yes and yes what an amazing amp

[@DaltPlaysGuitar]

Dude, every single tone out of that thing was to die for. Where do I get one and how many organs do I have to sell

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Haha it's awesome eh? Either check for dealers in your region. Axe Palace or otherwise from them directly

[@DB-Studio1]

Sounds great \m/

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks!

[@Rob-qr2kn]

What is the correlation between the Joker and this amp ?

[@ttbean9491]

I was afraid I was going to have to come up with something nice to say. Like when parents introduce you to their new baby, but the baby's a bit of an ugster, so have to come up with something nice to say. Oh, would you look at that little sweety pie, she has her grandfather's face. Nope, not needed! This amp looks and sounds great!! One-of-a-kind amp, for a one-of-a-kind player. Well done, Sir!

[@smeemusic]

Well this is one articulate amp. Chances are great ill never afford this amp but I wish I could. Good luck finding a matching cab for this thing though. Lol

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Haha in terms of looks the Orange cabs looks great with it! Soundwise my OwnHammer cabs do the job!

[@alanhenderson6752]

super vidéo de qualité !! merci !! je possède une mesa boogie dual roadster , feriez-vous une vidéos essai sur cette ampli ? merci

I would have loved to hear it in a raw way. Haven't heard of em before...

Fwiw: the guitars aren't processed

[@MatthiasBuesing]

@@SonicDriveStudio Raw = Amp in a room or at least miked up (isolated) to hear the real sound of this pretty unique amp. But I know you prefer it in a mix...

[@SonicDriveStudio]

@@MatthiasBuesing I'll do more videos with this amp in the future. There will probably be some isolated bits at some point

[@MatthiasBuesing]

@@SonicDriveStudio Thanks man! Do you know Ola's series "amp in a room"? I love it because that's the best way people can hear the real character of an amp. Wel all know Rectos, 5150 etc. but this particular one is pretty unknown. From within the mix I can' hear the differences 🤷🏻‍♂ - especially as all your mixes tend to sound extremely good. I think you make shit turning into gold in your mixes, Jon 😆

[@SonicDriveStudio]

@@MatthiasBuesing to be honest, I think it's just a gimmick because you can never hear how something sounds in a room without actually being in the room. I can see why people like that though!

According to their website price list it cost 3.250 USD. A lot but still great considering the price of Soldano for example.

@@alegutierrezmusic built by hand in Italy! It's a pretty normal price for such a boutique amp

The intro sounds exactly like Fredrik Thordendal's new song :) Is this a shout out to him? Check it out if you missed it.

Definitely not a shoutout to that song but all my 8-string stuff is inspired by Meshuggah to an extent. That's simply inevitable!
