Blackstar "Response" knob is a tube emulator. Its a brilliant feature and never seems to be discussed in reviews. Each tube setting is like a custom overdrive pedal! Each tube has a distinct character, such as saturation (or lack off), and they have their own tonal EQ curve etc. EL84's have a chimy clean and super saturation, EL34's light on bass focused mids and crunchy saturation. The 6V6 have that Fender Deluxe Reverb tonal sound and a lighter breakup (bluesy type), 6L6 are super clean and have lots of low end, used for that Fender clean sound or with high gain settings for New Metal styles of music. Kt88 have a thick full midrange and low mids and are great for Strats with single coils. So change tubes to get different overdrive break up and tonal EQ curve. Knowing about tubes helps. Throw a tube screamer or other drive pedal on the front to boost the amp (Katana has built on overdrive pedals for added boost). Also the amp responds well to pick attack, play light and it cleans up, pick hard and it breaks up more (very tube like).

My guess is Variable slope resistor. Fender value on the 5f6a bassman was 56k. Marshall value on the JTM's was 33k. So basically a 25k pot added in. I think the 'Sweep' knob on the Krank Revolution was the same as well.

As a owner of Katana-100 and a Blackstar s1 50 i'd say it's pretty good. Recently i got a few boss MT-2 and ML-2 pedals, i don't even need any tubescreamers with it, it chugs and it's quite nice. But since i'm a tonejerk, i'd still get Silverline and a Peavey 6505 mh or plus just for more flexibility and comparison someday. While Silverline might not sound the most natural, as Ola says, i don't think it will be that noticable in the mix, to be honest. I think it sounds okayish.

Well no one else said it so despite being a year late, but he got the ISF switch backwards. The side he thought was the British side was the American and vise versa. The American side is more modern and slight mid scooped on heavy tones. The British side pushes the mids higher making the sound more even, but muddy. It's usually best to put in someplace in the middle on that dial to get a happy medium between the two.

I’ve just spent a couple of hours playing with this amp head it’s good. Ola missed a trick with this amp because some effort has been spent on the power section he needs to gun the master volume and use the channel volume to control the loudness and it will behave like a tube amp. It does need tweaking in software to get the built in noise gates to trigger when you want them to the current presets lean towards high gain settings so quite aggressive. I haven’t played with the EQ section yet much apart from the mids. I used the resonance instead of bass (even at bedroom volume through a 2x12 this will make the room shake) and presence instead of treble. This amp is the first amp I have used where I like pretty much all the voices. I’m really fussy about high gain tone this is the first amp where I actually liked them. The bright clean setting is pretty cool too manage to achieve blues and unbelievably surf tones as well. It’s not perfect set it wrong and it will sound shit and digital set get it right and it will reward you with some very expensive sounding tones.

I'm sure someone has pointed this out by now, but what he's telling us about the ISF knob is backwards. Fully counter clockwise is American, and fully clockwise has a British characteristic. He didn't care much for the British side. Not that that's a deal breaker or anything. And seriously man, I ain't hatin' on anyone. This is a very good demo for anyone considering this amp. He does a great job of pointing out why you watched in the first place. WILL IT CHUG? I think the answer is yes. How well it will chug is totally subjective.

Had a ID260TVP combo when they first came out, got rid of it when i stopped playing in bands for a while. Got back into bands again and had numerous valve amps, the best being a bugera 333xl combo but it shit it pants pretty early on, now present day I've found myself with another ID260TVP and for the money it's really good as a 2x12 combo and I think it's built to run work with the Blackstar voiced speakers it has, maybe sounds a bit different with different cabs, but try one through the speakers blackstar intended it to work with and they're really good amps and the pub goers watching you play at your gigs couldn't give a shit if it isn't a £1500+ boutique valve amp

What’s up Ola?!! Was curious if you have tested the old Marshall JCM800 2203 from the early 80’s? I have a 1981 model and it took some tinkering for me to get the chug out of it. Keep it up brotha!! Love your show!!

JCM 800's won't chug without an overdrive pedal - I bought one in 1988. You can get an AC/DC-type mild crunch, but you can't get a high gain thrash metal/extreme metal tone.

when you turn up the channel volume its like turning up the power on a tube power amp. the actual master volume is just controlling the real volume but wont give you that power tube roar like the channel volume will.

That’s incorrect. Channel volume controls pre amp, Master volume controls power amp. Driven power amp is what most players crave but don’t know it. Try maxing the master and controlling the loudness with the channel volume. I bet it will make you smile 😊 have fun now.

If you read the manual it explains you get power amp distortion by turning up the channel volume. Remember that this is a digital amp. Turning up the channel volume (paraphrasing)"simulates overdriving the power section of a tube amp"
@HellionBlade90
@HellionBlade90 3 жыл бұрын
Found it verbatim: . Volume This controls the preamp volume. Turning it clockwise increases the volume. High levels of volume will introduce the effect of valve power amp distortion and compression, depending on the TVP (9) setting you have selected. This setting is saved when you store a patch.

I have the Blackstar ID150 head which is the older version of this. I know exactly what you mean when you say the amp sounds fake. Compared to a tube amp, it just sounds super flat. Even compared to my Randall RG75 (solid state), it still sounds super flat. It feels as if you're a few small adjustments to a decent tone, but the more you turn the knobs, the worse you're making it sound.
