[@LeonTodd]

Yes! Jason is a great dude who builds incredible stuff. Sounds crushing.

[@zenamplification]

Agreed! Finally got to try one yesterday and it did not disappoint.

[@colbymunn2047]

LEON!!! I know you love your Hot Rod 50...how does it compare? Even to the SLO?

[@HeadfirstAmps]

Thanks for the awesome review Kyle, you pulled some great tones and your playing was on fire dude! 🔥

[@ERiCtheBuLL]

The Black Winter is such an incredible pickup. The pickup's clarity and ability to take on massive amounts of gain without sacrificing clarity, matched with this amp, just sounds perfect.

[@iLLuzion1st]

I put one in my 08 schecter. Things sounds mean!!! The black winter neck pickup is super underrated too

[@ERiCtheBuLL]

@@iLLuzion1st I agree! The set is fantastic. Doesn't get muddy when you down tune either.

[@stolenlaptop]

I almost got one but got the nazgul. The black winter was my next choice tho.

[@DJ33]

Jason is a great guy that makes some really good stuff.

[@TheAxe4Ever]

I’ve spoken to Jason on his KZbin page. I’ve been following the design of this amp since he started it and was posting about it. I wanted to buy one by putting down a reserve payment. Life sometimes throws you curve balls and I have to get some stupid health shit straightened out first. But as soon as I pass everything…I WILL HAVE ONE! It’s an incredible sounding amp and you did it justice! It’s going to be a gift to myself for getting through the other side. Thanks for the cool video! It makes me want it even more! Your joyous facial expressions while playing just proves it! 💪🏻👍🏻

[@StormtrooperCylon]

Man, I am the proud owner of 2x JCM2000 TSL100 amps, have both since they were new, since 2001, and I have to honestly say that Headfirst amp is the best Marshall sound I have heard in 20 years

[@HeadfirstAmps]

Thanks!

[@sugameltpastriescoffee7186]

Yes! Some love for our friend from down under, Jason knows everything there is to know about high gain amps

[@madasahatter7482]

Jason's definitely at the top of the game. I was lucky enough to get one from the first US run. As a proud owner of an Alta 100 I can attest that this captures how it sounds in the room really well and everything Kyle said is 100% accurate. Some of the best modded Marshall tones out there. I get that same smile Kyle had every time I play.

[@josephrusso7069]

Some say the gain is fizzy, and the string separation is not the best. What do you think? My favorite tones are Van Halen first album, Ratt Invasion of your privacy album, and Dokken Back for the attack.

[@alexnuzzi4780]

@@josephrusso7069I own one - no where near fizzy and the string separation on every channel is fantastic

[@leekoontz976]

That thing rips. Glad you used the Gibson to demo that thing. I definitely like the slanted Marshall with it, too. I never owned a Les Paul. I want one!

[@bucknasty69]

I agree with you on the tone, it definitely sounded like Exodus. I’ve always love their tone and you make this amp sound badass.

[@markkinney5030]

Jason makes the best Marshall sound that is so much incredible pure tone that sounds so good! Okay i been looking for a new amp for a while now and I have looked at other amps out there but this amp i keep wanting to hear being played by some one. For the money for what you are getting you are getting A+ amp! Thanks Kyle for taking this amp for a test drive! Thanks man

[@seanmorgan9020]

Aww yeah. Jason has been great for modding stock Marshalls DSL's and Origins into BEASTS!

[@michaelgallegos8811]

Every channel sounds great on that Amp.

[@Boogieplex]

I knew of the Australian guy(Jason?) from Headfirst awhile ago, he was taking those 20 and 50 watt Marshall Origins and turning them into absolute firebreathers. I think he was even giving the schematics out for free. I spoke to him briefly,very nice guy.

[@felinekaiju4517]

Yep, that's the guy. He's still got the schematics up for modding.

[@felinekaiju4517]

Excellent, a Headfirst review with metal!. Great work, mate!. Thanks!.

[@garytones434]

Been looking forward to your review of the Alta. It sounds amazing.

[@Skoora]

If you play too long on the clean channel a funnel web comes out of the amp and switches it CH 3, then returns to it’s slumber by the input Jack.

[@lowtonezf104]

Gnarly amp, the best sounding Marshall flavored amp Kyle has demo’d. On the lust after list!

[@clintn6677]

I've been looking forward to this vid. I'm on the next run. I think his next one is going to be a variation of the Cali/Evil Joe

[@JoelCSabo]

Your joy level sold me on an excited view of this video, and the Corey Feldman joke kept me around even longer. I think I'll re-watch a previous video to celebrate.

[@alexandertorrente198]

Super great customer service! If looking to buy an amp, headfirst is the way to go

[@rupert916]

Honestly these riffs sound better than anything I’ve heard from 72 seasons…so far

[@bmark7951]

Stop it

[@moisesvillasenor3302]

that is true

[@rupert916]

@@bmark7951 it pains me to say its true

[@geno_crazed0308]

Man, i was distracted while watching this video. Going with my ears i'd like to state, the sounds were phenominal and were a perfect match for your playing style. Great stuff my dude. Your videos are great.

[@tcoxy]

Sounds killer Kyle, Aussie tone greatness.

[@Catywampus_Kerfuffle]

I really dig the sound of that Vintage. It seems to have characteristics of both the V30 and the Greenback.

[@mikescotch8894]

Best High gain ‘Marshall’ tones you’ve ever done, Kyle. Alta FTW

[@rnrmfguitarworks]

Extra thumbs up for the Coheed riff!!!

[@mad7stringer]

I'm here for the thrash and hardcore riffs........ thank you very much! Though I get a kick out of the rock riffs I recognize but can't remember the name of lol.

[@jasoncrump1886]

Amp sounds really good. Hope you get to feeling better soon brother.

[@Tomekkplk]

Strongly recommend trying the newest Marshall pedals. I grabbed 2 and was very impressed

[@imeqsmd]

Holy hell!! Wow great sounding fucking amp right there jebus

[@stueym199]

That's a Warrior you are playing, sounds the same as mine,but mine is from 1996, that means they definitely have the chug.

[@anthonydevito1298]

Jason is the man.

[@colbymunn2047]

HEY KYLE. Mezzabarba vs Soldano vs Headfirst Alta.....who wins? In your opinion?

[@TarshishedCactus]

Feel better soon man!

[@cheyneluke9330]

Awesome video dude! Sounds great!

[@FuzzImp]

Jason RULEZ

[@kevenrivard8719]

sounds good Kyle! keep up the good work

[@cajun3197]

Reminds me of a Bogner Uber 👏🏽

[@francisgarde]

try out the Headfirst Cali

[@austinmidwest7062]

hope you are feeling better

[@andyje]

I Thought I was hearing some Annihilator tones. Amazing!!

[@kaidemen156]

Chugging riffs is the best cure for a cold, that’s a scientific fact. \m/

[@frankenstein4106]

That is a great sounding amplifier right there! I have a David Bray Amps modded JCM800 2204 and that Alta has that sound I gravitate to. It would be great to see if you could get a Bray COCO 50 or 4550 to review.

[@Boogieplex]

I had Bray mod my 77' JMP, wich I sold. He does great work,I just never got along with the way he voices the bottom end. too mushy. but nice sounding gain.

[@dannye3325]

Sounds unreal

[@kemnavarro212]

The Facebook portion had me laughing hard.🤣

[@aureliusandthespiral]

Sweet video, Corey!

[@69larter]

Jason makes great stuff 👏

[@alexnuzzi4780]

Wow I’m Shot out- forgot I watched this 🤣

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

Your click bait game is strong! I was ready to go to bed when I got the notification. "F... me! I won't be able to sleep" *click* Edit: Jason is the man. Even more impressive being from Australia where everything is upside down and Kangaroos constantly try to beat the crap out of you and all

[@genesnodgrass]

That’s about the Scott Ian thrash tone recipe there with the JB guitar.

[@DB-Studio1]

Your voice is now decent for vocal position in your band! Get well soon

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Great job Kyle. Always entertaining! Especially when you offer zero condolences for the crybabies hurt feelings lol

[@Tanax13]

Wish someone would make a Mesa collection amp as well, so many Marshall collection amps, not that that's bad, but still :D

[@williamsoule4905]

sounds sick brother

[@wichtermaster]

Not a big Vader cab guy but $1 says the Vader can handle the low end. They can handle the absurd amount of bottom end an old Laney AOR pumps out and not many cabs wont rattle apart with the bass boost on with an AOR.

[@marcstevenson3657]

Love your raspy voice ;). Take care. I love your job !!!

[@SidSub]

So sick, what is this similar to?. Are we talking silver jubilee/jcm800/jmp....wizard mtl even?

[@alexnuzzi4780]

It’s kind of a bit of everything. The base tones are jmp like, engage the clipping and it’s jubilee, and modern mode gets you mtl territory and the brite caps are very 2203’ish

[@SidSub]

@@alexnuzzi4780 very nice I ended up getting a ground zero hellion which is very cool as well, hope to try an alta soon

[@alexnuzzi4780]

@@SidSub so many amazing amp choices today

[@moisesvillasenor3302]

Hello There

[@mrvabilene4971]

Cool Classic guitar

[@obestertomas]

OMG Kyle, it sounds amazeballs ! but how would you compare it soundwise to ceriatone molecular ? let’s say just ch.2 of alta vs molecular. I remember you liked molecular as one of the best modded marshall amps. very curious how you feel about this :) thanks for all you do man !

[@MartialBoniou]

Feel better ASAP

[@kalebthornsberry870]

I am so angry there were no sparkling clean, chorus through the effects loop, 23/17 time ragtime jazz numbers. How can we hear the full range of this high gain amp for metal?!

[@iwannarockon2010]

Very pissed off sounding 🤘

[@josephrusso7069]

This amp or Mezzabarba trinity? Tough call, right?

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

One amp I hope yo can get on the channel ist the *Ibanez TBX150H Tone Blaster Xtreme* , a 150Watt solid state amp from Ibanez. I had it like 13 years ago and from what I remember it sounded pretty sick. It's kind of an oddity.

[@emailchrismoll]

Damn bro, you really got to lay off those cigarettes. Haha just kidding been watching your videos for a while and really enjoy them

[@element22ag]

Hell yea Bulldoze!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@samizdat113]

It's alright

[@aaronderrick5721]

Nice vid bro..was good from the burgh. This amp sounds just as mean as the mos highest of gain amps. I was wondering if you've ever heard of an played a diezel Lil'Focker? I came across a listing for it on reverb, a 2 Channel 100 watt head, curious to hear this thing ...I've never seen it or heard of it on anybody's Channel anywhere.. check it out if you get a chance, and if you haven't already. Found a pretty mint 5150 III EL34 50w for $550..should I jump on this??..Hav the 6L6 50w already..chime in ppl

What’s wrong with Corey Feldman lol? Besides he went crazy and is putting out terrible music, he used to be in cool movies 😅

[@mikescotch8894]

😂😂😂😂 Funny

[@robertalsbury]

I agree. Sounds terrible in this video. Horrible demonstration. There are much better videos of this amp that sound fantastic. I don’t know if this dude knows how to dial in an amp, but this sounds terrible.
