You mean the 3 guitars I won this week aren't real? 😅

@@BeyondTigerMilk Exactly

Captain, the choice to move on from Rob and hire Pete was a great move. It upped your cred and got the attention of incredible players that all know him and love him. Here here to Danish Pete.

Wait so your telling me I never got picked for the £5000 and a night out with the captain down the local boozers?

@@glennlilley8608 Mr. Lilley, I can see how being pointless may appeal to you. What I can't imagine is in all your long years no one ever bothered to tell you to think before you speak. You see doing so requires a small degree of introspection you seemingly lack, so instead of asking yourself whether you're helping or hurting' you remain oblivious to your own jackassery.

@@glennlilley8608 You been sampling your product mate?

Effects loops are kind of unnecessary on non master volume amps, unless it’s one of those cool amps that have a parallel effects loop with a blend knob. With non master volume amps, you’re driving the preamp and power amp at the same time, so it’s not like you can put reverb and delay pedals “after” the amp’s distortion circuit.

The Torpedo adjustment dials in the rear of the amp, are actually very badly designed and/or built.

Sometimes the addition of an FX loop can negatively impact the sound of specific circuits. Perhaps this was the reason for the omission in this design as well.

All you need now is an R2R Electric pedal to go with it!

So is mine , I missed out on the SG and now I'm tapped out anyway!😑

Checked into ordering one or those epi Iommi Sgs but they are only using standard epi P90s and not the custom wound boutique p90s they used on the Gibson custom shop Version . Those pickups are huge part of the original guitars sound so I ended up Passing on it . Gibson usa also has a more affordable Version of the Monkey SG but it only has the standard gibson P90s . So essentially the epi monkey SG is not any different from a regular epi SG special. I don't get why epi has stopped using higher quality pickups in their signature guitars save for the Bonamassa lazarus les paul even some of the recent Bonamassa epis like the norm burst and the 58 black beauty have had epi pickups. I have the black epi Iommi SG from a few years back and it has the gibson Tony Iommi signature humbuckers and it sounds killer and does the latter 70s never say die era and early 80s heaven and hell/mob rules era tone . The lack of upgraded pickups has caused me to pass on a few epis the last couple of years although I have bought 3 epi 59s and 1 of the 61 les paul/SGs along with the black Iommi SG. I wanted to buy one of the slash Epis and figured it would have the gibson Slash buckers or custom burstbucker Alnico 2s or whatever you want to call them but when I found out they had pro buckers it was a hard pass . I also really wanted the Alex lifeson les paul access epi version but when I found out that it was not going to come with a Gibson 496r neck and 498T bridge like the gibson versions do it was agian a hard pass . The 496r and 498t are not expensive pickups. Gibson used to use Duncan's in al the slash guitars including his signature pickups but now they will not even use the in-house wound gibson Vernon' of the slash pickups . Even though the latest slash epis only have epi pickups they are more expensive then the 59s with gibson burstbuckers which are gibsons most expensive pickups unless you count used custonbuckers . Epis with stock gibson pickups or Duncan's with factory upgraded wiring and pots wil almost always result in a purchase high end epis with upgraded pickups pots and wiring factory installed in my opinion are better quality better spec'd better value for the dollar guitars then any sub 2000 dollar gibson like the les paul studio les paul tribute or les paul faded etc . The high epis have no relief unlike the chambered and ultra modern weight relief of the lower end gibson les Paul's and the high end epis like the 59 are hand wired unlike the cheaper gibsons which have PCB boards and quick connect pots and pickups . Low end gibsons usually have the 490r;490T or 490r/498t set or on rare occasions the Bursrbucker pros The BB1 BB2 BB3 57 classic and 57 classic plus blow away all the 490 series pickups and the BB pros . The upgraded or not upgraded pickups are always the deciding factor for me . Considering the gibson custom shop monkey SG had the hand wound John Birch replica P90s epi should have F least used gibsons standard wound P90s . Stock gibson USA P90s are fantastic sounding P90s .

I have both run through a 12" vintage 30. Plus a pakrat pedal . AWESOME

Classic British Styling at it's best!

True! Scored a Yamaha cab on sale which had Eminence speakers in it, a Tonker and a Legend series speaker. Plugging into either speaker one at a time was really interesting, changing the characteristics of my Fender and Marshall amps in a really interesting way.

Agreed! Revv have the small heads with built-in loadbox, which I'm also very interested in!

The future isnt fake digital amps or IR’s

@@Ottophil lmao keep on telling yourself that, dude. it's not the future, it's already the present.

If I’m buying something with di /IRs I’d rather just go digital tbh.

@@mrcoatsworth429 future was 7 years ago when Kemper destroyed the Victory in the blind test, I just wasn’t ready to accept it :,)

yes I agree, Im in love with the Lionheart5

Not iommi, he used the bass channel

@@MarioHernandez-zc7dv and a treble boost.

Usually these low watt tube amps almost always have flubby or weak bass. A product of small output transformers. If you want a tight sound you have to go with the big boys.

On these old amps, the EQ is before where the amp is distorting. So it’s shaping the sound before it gets distorted, so it’s best to set the bass lower, even totally off for higher gain sounds. No different to using a tubescreamer to tighten things up. Problem is, so many guitar players are ridiculously conservative with settings on amps and pedals and don’t realise how interactive the controls can be, so set up a vintage style amp with the EQ all at 12 and don’t touch them for different gain settings and then complain the bass is ‘flubby’ when it’s actually user error.

@@3rdStoreyChemist Indeed you are 100% right. A low cut before your signal hits the amp can go a long way to tighten up your sound. In my experience with these low watt tube amps even if you apply all the 'tricks' you always have kinda weak bass for things like palm muting. Running to a speaker cab you can't get around a weak power section. Even the 15-20w 2x EL84 amps can be a bit weak sauce. It's not like this thing is marketed as a metal amp though. For what it is, I think it's a cool amp other than being (IMO) overpriced.

Yeas, I was thinking about buying one, but a Marshall Origin 20h fell into my lap, at a price I couldn't refuse. Still thinking about the supercub combo though, as I need a small combo with a single 12 inch speaker.

@@castleanthrax1833 nice. I gigged the old Iommi15 down the pub on a saturday night. Full Rock band doing Lizzy & Idol to about 60+ people. Worked great & it wasn´t even FLAT OUT.. I have to get another

Iommi isn’t from the Black Country either! Birmingham isn’t in the Black Country.

Yes, it can get uncomfortable having things stuck in the back. Hehehe.

H.B.E Germania it's good as well

Guitarsystems trebletool for me.

The sabbara caddabra acts like a laney amp with a booster already. Play it threw a clean amp of any kind and it will sound good. I'd throw a fulltone ranger in front of this laney studio , that will get ya similar tones in sure. :)

I'm sure you could buy one. Why ask for freebies? Everyone's after stuff for nothing these days.

One louder !

Some younger players have built their sound and repertoire around guitar effects, so thankfully things did move on. The seemingly never-ending loop of 60s/70s nostalgia is stale and mouldy, however the constant marketing for thousands of products that happens now is tedious as well.

@@deaddoll1361 The only problem with that is I am not preaching. I am telling you what I did before pedals. You are right about younger players built their sound and depend on the pedals now. Which is fine. Just saying when I was a teen ager gigiging in the local high school proms it was straigh into the amp. No harm no foul I think Danish Pete may be old enough to know what I am talking about, maybe not.

Oh and we had to walk 10 miles to school in he snow.. 15 miles back.. Get off of my yard. lol

The Bedroom setting is 0.5-1W. But in its 15W mode, it’s still lacking in headroom for a loud drummer.

You can always put an eq pedal in front and use the "volume slider" on that. Leave the other sliders at zero, if you don't want it to colour your signal.

They haven't even played with the EQ knobs lol.

Right!?😂🎉 this thing is really poking me the right way! 🤤

@@fatsuperfly Hmmmm, I don't think I would describe that way, lol but yeah. haha

Doesn't some Revv amps have them?

@@castleanthrax1833 I didn't check. I was just thinking of Fender and Marshall tube amps.

@@johnsmith-ug5tp I was genuinely asking too. I'm not sure if Revv has the two notes tech, but it sounds familiar.
