My favourite practice amp I have owned is the Orange Crush 12.. it has one channel and a separate gain and overdrive, when blended creates interesting tonal variety and it has a analogue signal, whilst being solid state. I have owned low wattage valve amps and didn't really get on with them as well as I did with the Orange 12. Really great review btw👏 👍

100-percent agree with Micro Cube recommendation, a slight caveat to the "no amp" recommendation, it's fine for learning scales, even songs etc., but if you are a new-ish player and haven't learned good muting technique with mid to high gain, primarily practicing with no amp and then plugging in to an amp and playing with gain could be problematic. If you are an experienced player and/or started out with an amp then yes, a great solution to playing almost anywhere (except the toilet) and not annoying family and neighbors.

Hi Elmo! Some time ago I asked you what you`re thinking about Supro Amps. Now I know the answer: I purchaded the Supro 10, used I (doub tit) for 300. I got a real strong 5 Watt amplifier.It has everything you need, 2 tone control, a Master volume , a volume, spring reverb, Power, Standby 2 Effects, Drive and Boost. You can put these effcts by a extern pedal. This Supro Amp is worth evey cent you pay for.

Believe it or not, I've actually been playing chronically on my ID Core V3 10, and I like it super crunch tone, with my Fenders. It is less forgiving than my other amps, but I really do like it. Also, the Katana mini is also awesome. I've broke in the speaker and now sounds nice and gritty. I set the delay on max with time on zero to get a reverb fx. The Blackstar speakers are breaking in too! Blackstar should thank you because if it weren't for your review, I would never have bothered with the amp. But I liked that you shredded in it in all its settings and it gave me an idea of how it might sound for me. I saw a review of the ID Core V3 10 and the poofy haired British guy played some boring chords and strums that to me, didn't really highlight the amp (to my liking, at least) in a way that I wanted to buy it.

Roland Micro Cube blows everything else away. I started playing again at 60 with more money than sense and talent. Bought a Micro Cube early on and liked it but wanted something better for my office use (where low volume is critical). I tried almost everything up to Princeton reverb (with pedals of course) and Marshall DSL5. The latest effort was Marshall DSL1 (the DSL 5 with greenback is now in my home studio and absolutely love it). The DSL1 was a horrible ice pick! Reboxed it to return and to fill the void, dug out the old Roland MC. OMG! that little thing was put away while I ran through all that money. For low volume applications, the MC is BETTER than them all including the Princeton. Soooo many nice tones and anything else you would want.

I play exclusively to low, bedroom-level decibels. I know that when you crank amps up, even a little, the larger speaker has a fuller, richer tone. But at the levels I play, just around speaking level or slightly higher, will I get a fuller tone from the 12” speaker or will playing at such low volumes negate any of the benefits of the larger speaker?

Hi. Very interesting video thanks. Here's my subjective view. Probably should've been titled something like "Top 5 practice amps which can sound similar to my beloved Marshall 1987x". Personally if I had to choose a Marshall practice amp my preference would be a JCM 800 or 2000 sound, let's say the JCM 800 SC20H and pair it with a 12" speaker cab. Or a 2525C Jubilee. Or an older TSL. All with master volume for adjusting from practice to gig levels and gain as desired. Guitar is an instrument that can play any musical style and every manufacturer has a fantastic amp or number of amps capable of being great for practice. You might be desiring different sounds and feelings too eg: Vox, Orange, Mesa, Fender, Engl, Laney, Hiwatt, etc - all non Marshall right? Elmo it appears gravitates to a 1987x amp boosted with an overdrive - great sound which many love, but not for everyone - if I played that style I would use Mesa or Orange or Engl as my opinion. No amp? Why not play an acoustic with super light strings? Elmo makes everything sound great! Regards.

What did you upgrade your HB15 speaker to, and was it worth it?
@MrPolevaulter3 жыл бұрын
I didn't. I sold the amp to my luthier friend. He put in a Celestion of some kind, but I forget which one it was. It does sound a bit better, but I'd have to A/B them, and know how much the whole thing cost to even guess if it was worth it. I think he thinks it was.

Ciao Elmo! What’s about the use of an active load box+cab simulator (as TeoNotes Torpedo captor x or captor + cab m)? In case someone has already big Marshall’s at home... 😎...but then of course you need external speakers (or “hifi stereo system” speakers)...🤔

Elmo. Do you like the Blackstar Silverline? It has no tubes so it gets great sound at very low volume. I also have the Marshall DSL5CR and the Vox AC4C1-12. It seems more manageable in a small condo with kids.

Hey Elmo are you saying all those expensive attenuators and powersoaks are unnecessary with a simple volume pot?
@humann0x3 жыл бұрын
Yes, when you don't want the power tubes to break up (output stage distortion). No, if you want them to. The volume pot in the FX Loop will change how your amp sounds because of that. But so does the attenuator, just for another reason.

@@The_Macaroon Welcome. I think that, if you have a compressor or another pedal with a volume/level poti, you can try out to lower the signal with it in the FX loop.

@MrPaolo1013 жыл бұрын
@@samain1804 It is 'Kelwl' IMHO..... I didn't buy any cabs with it as I have many different variants of cabs already. I have tried it with 1x12 (Celestion T70), 2x12 (Vintage 30's) and 4x12 (standard Marshall cab 1960A).... With the right settings and EQ, they all sound good (on 100w mode), but I will admit that the 1x12 is great for that 'Deluxe thing'. Is it the best amp ever?... No, it has its problems... for example I don't think it takes external pedals that well, but the built in units are workable....For slightly more 'serious' situations luckily I have my trusty 65DRRI or my JCM800 (2203).... Which most certainly are.... Kewl. lol
