yep, those numbers are mostly an average wattage if you will, dsl20 for instance says that the range is 11-30W.

yeah i never thought about that

yes

me too...

Pretty silly. I can tell you that you can run low output pickups, any kind on a high gain amp and still get high gain tones. Runa hot p8ckup on. a low gain amp will still get you low gain. Youre not going to get a metal tone by running the highest output pickups into a jcm 900 or a fender twin reverb. You will however get a metal tone with single coil vintage output pickup into a marshall jvm.

@@utecastronoova863 Character/texture of the gain will be different. While what you say is largely correct, it IS possible to hit the front end of a low gain amp with a pickup + clean boost (to simulate an outrageously hot pickup) to get some pretty nasty tone. It'd be interesting to see in a shootout, don't you think?

while I do like it, I found that this video was just too much

Caio Regal yeah I think he got a bit carried away on this video but it’s very entertaining most of the time.

Are you the editor aiming for a pay rise? :P

@John Smith Haha unfortunately not, I have trouble editing my own video’s :-)

@@MarkPritchardGuitar ;-)

Definitely, have one out at all times like on TPS!

Let's Just Say, if it was loud for Rob then I'm pretty sure it was near 100dB at least...

Timo Roosendaal I play a 50 watt Marshall JVM and with my loudest drummer I can out play him at 3 master volume, 7 channel.

I own the V40 and I can tell you with the master at 3 o'clock, like they dimed it in the video, it's one of the loudest things you'll ever hear. Playing in a room and sitting right next to the speaker, I wouldn't dare to play more than a few notes on that volume.

Probably something like 110

Yep ... glad to see Rob trying to protect his hearing but proper earplugs would provide better protection.

I can only imagine the ear damage Lee must have.

Jack Robb I'm wondering if it's because Lee is not a gigging musician so he doesn't get exposed to loud noises for a long time. Short bursts won't give him any long-term problems but Rob is more at risk.

What??

@@Orion28296 Pardon ???

Left to stare at the ceiling and run out of juice......

Also the Marshall feedbacks! It's a slight difference but he worded it perfectly

Tyler’s Meme Supply Co very overpriced and made in China. Check out the back

True!

I'm getting feeling that tooo many youtube influencers and pseudo-reviewers is putting that unit somewhere to be visible. I'm starting to have feeling that it is Universal Audio's way to push it. I know it is awesome hardware and I was thinking about that pretty seriously. But this is used mostly as just an attenuator. And it not the only one. And not definitely the best one. And you do not see any other, only UA OX. Dont' get me wrong I like it, would love to own it (but not for that hi-price) - that's just my feeling like kind of advertising the UA OX.

I own one and I find it to be excellent for the most part.

@@enakki there are other load boxes out there most people invest in it because you have direct control over the volume as it's on a turn dial whereas other load boxes have a preset selection of volumes to choose from

Link?

@parallax3d I didn't know (i'm not english i dont understand every thing). Thanks for the information

Has he ever done it before this video? I've seem some hundreds of Andertons videos and I can't remember a single time before this. Maybe it's his jetlag and tiredness?

well, gigging with a 5 watt head is going to be a LITTLE hard.

This. If you don't need a clean tone, 30 watts tube is crazy loud

was he playing traditional jazz? super clean? or fusion type stuff? curious as I'm a beginner jazz player with same amp :)

@@alexanderpotts8425 Fusion/Funk if I had to guess. It was a jazz festival but the had everything from metal to poetry readings lol.

Can confirm. I have a katana 50 and for the money (~$200 US) it's pretty tough to beat.

TP91711 that would be more scientific.

If you do that you cut out the interaction between the loudspeaker and the guitar.

@@ResoBridge ????

@@boggeshzahim3713 In a 'live' situation the sound pressure waves from the loudspeaker vibrate the body of the guitar, that vibrates the strings, the pickups pickup the string vibration, the pickup signal drives the amp input and the amp drives the loudspeaker. And so on... At high enough loop gain you will get sustained feedback - a note can be held forever (well a long time). At lower loop gains (even relatively low volumes) you still get a more responsive feel. With a good compressor or even some fuzz or overdrive pedals you can easily get enough loop gain for 'infinite' sustain even at low volumes.

Nathan Hall seriously 😂🤘

I dont think there is a discernible difference between the cables but id love that video nonetheless

phreak1118 It is. They have it listed as an American Original in the notes but it isn’t as the truss rod is at the top and the string tree is one of the modern rollers. Just didn’t want you to go ahead and buy one :)

@@voltagevillain7342 Right you are! Thanks for pointing that one out. It's the American Professional, not the Original. We have corrected the link in the description :)

@@andertons That's great service for want of a better word :)

2 years later and they still dont do this.. quite sad

@@AmperahGaming 5 years later and they DO.

wich model/wattage do you suggest?

@@napomania I personally have a DSL1CR with Genalex Gold Lion tubes. I never use the Ultra Gain channel, as I personally find the tones on that channel to be pretty much unusable. The Classic Gain channel, however, is lovely. It's worth noting that the DSL1 (both combo and head) do _not_ feature master volume on the Classic Gain channel. That means that changing gain characteristics on that channel also changes the volume. It's also worth noting that the tone of the amp changes whether you're operating at 0.1 Watts vs 1 Watt. It's not a massive difference, but the amp does sound better at its normal 1 Watt operation setting. It's quite apparent that the amp uses the tubes differently on the different power settings. I'm an apartment dweller, so I would only use the DSL1 at home. At 0.1 Watts with mine dimed at home, I literally can only play before 6 p.m. to avoid complaints. I occasionally let it rip at 1 Watt, but for less than a minute and _only_ on rare occasions. If you go for a higher DSL power rating, note that all the other models are master volume designs. I think it's also worth mentioning that the wee DSL1CR combo did find its voice quite nicely after a few months of pounding. The 8" Celestion Eight 15 takes a bit of time to break in, but sounds quite good once it does. IMO, YMMV and all that. Pete is not a fan of small cabs and the videos reflect that. However, the videos also don't have the possibility of time to break in. I don't have any recordings, but I can say that over time I have noticed a significant improvement in tone. My DSL1CR is not the amp today that I bought two years ago. It is much better now. Full disclaimer: I found the Marshall-supplied tubes to be flubby. A set of Genalex Gold Lion tubes tightened up the bottom end nicely and added sparkle to the top end. In 2022, that would also be quite an additional cost given the situation around tube availability. As such, I strongly recommend playing one of these amps prior to purchase.

You’re confusing opinion for fact

How do you watch a video while driving? Never mind.........

Mr. Rob Know it all didn't know it all! 😄

Sesquipedalian? Congratulations you have found a word I haven't encountered before. I shall have to resort to Google.

The dsl20 doesn’t have a master volume. The 40 and 100 are way easier to use at home.

hawkeye2816 imma little late but there are these “things” called a power break or atenuator, idk something like that. It puts the tubes at the desired power but only lets some of the power go to your desired speaker or cabinet

@Swabby Shreds I'd like to see them try and fix that with a low pedal budget though. It would be useful to someone, such as myself, with a budget comparable to a twig.

That's interesting and not likely due to a fact that *this is a commercial* for a music store

@@fartymctits5701 We can only dream....

It’s about compression and not volume really. My 15 watt tube amps are just as loud at my 30/40 watt amps. When I compare the a 100 watt twin, the twin is just wayyyy more spatial (not necessarily a good thing). Just a point to be made. Personally I play in a lot of larger ensembles so I want something smaller that will just fill the right frequencies but if I’m in a trio I’d want something with lots of headroom and space

One of them appears to be a Shure SM7B, the other's prolly a SM57 or equivalent.

yep, honestly all these people saying "less is better", are just LYING to themselves, and justifying their cheaper purchase.

Mike Fu but I can't play with a 100w in my house even if I have the money :/

@@maths0714 Its a master volume amp and you have low power switch to 30 watts.

Not any gig if you play a small venue. And for big gigs everything is mic'd anyway. So 100w nowadays is totally overkill for most situations. Not only overkill but counter-productive in my humble opinion. :)

In the olden days, where all of the guitar sound at the venue came out of the same speaker cabinet, they didn't always have a choice to not be gunning their amps.

People keep talking about compression, but the algorithms are quite efficient. And unless you're using very high end gear it's not that noticeable. The fact that you're hearing a mic'd sound opposed to being in the room makes a far greater difference.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they do have this? I think there are three versions of the v40, the lunchbox, deluxe with tube trem and verb, and the v140

@@justingarcia7722 yes but v40 deluxe is revoiced, it has better high end response, not as dark, so i would prefere v40 deluxe sound but not in a wooden box and without tremolo or spring reverb
