Katana.. 50 watt and an old Peavey with solid state preamp and tube power amp.. I can't remember the model, but it has a huge 15" speaker. I use my Boss ME 70 thru it now for fun and it sounds great especially if you crank it to get the power tubes cranking.. The ME series effects are killer.. I love them. Might have to get the ME90 after seeing your demo and use your IR's.. They always sound great.. Be well sir! Tim

Using a Katana 50 MKI that i got for $180 new and is pretty cool but i believe this amp would serve me better. This HO tone amp has a lot more going on for me.

@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 Katana's rock I think. I can't tell the difference in sound at all. I know people say they can and I can feel the difference a little, but I've not used the software to change the bias and it would probably fix that. I just love the tones. I don't use effects except a tad bit of reverb and a little delay to sweeten it up. I need to buy the Eventide pitch pedal so I can do the 80s thing like Steve Vai did on the movie crossroads. God that was killer tome. Now you don't have to have the rack. We live in such a great time to be a guitar player. Rock and roll brother and be well my friend..

Hey guys! I could not find it in the manual, but is it possible to bypass internal DSP/modeling and use it just as a cab with Helix or Tonex for example? I know there is Aux In jack so technically it should be possible, but wonder if the sound is good enough this way..

Have you played through a boss gt1000? They sound Fn amazing, but it's also the feel that is amazing. It feels very natural, snappy, and responsive under the fingers. This is supposedly where the extra strong "computing power" comes into play... Either way it looks like those Yamaha lunchbox amps have some legit competition.

@robertj1303 6 ай бұрын

Hi Leon, There seems to be an overlap from “Practice amp” and “Portable amp”. This is a PG Spark 40 competitor me thinks and seems to be more expensive. For condos I think like the Spark it will be too loud. I looked at PG Mini Spark, Nux Mighty Space and Mighty Air and ended up with the Mighty Air which does more or less what this does, but at lower volumes with 3 tiny speakers. I have a Katana, too loud on 2.5w got complaints day b4 yesterday and 1w Laney Iron Studio. The Nux I dont get complaints and it sounds quite good and loud sat right in front. Moreover, these guys are IOS and Android, whereas Hot tone is Mac or Windows so you need a computer, where a phone is sufficient for the Nux. Plus they are battery rather than power driven. Price wise its close to the Katanas and I know which I would prefer!

@LeonTodd 6 ай бұрын

I've got a Mighty AIr and it's pretty darn handy! Being battery powered is definitely nice.

@renmad0078 5 ай бұрын

Nice for practice, but for composing and creativity i don't know. Do they think how we can conect a looper in it and have all the effects just for the guitar we play ? Can we take out all the sound we have programmed and take them out in a daw or i don't know, i use 3 diferents loopers and can i get this sound in and get back and use just the sound modified for the guitar solo ? Do they have a send and return inside ?... I think they miss all this part... For me we are close to the graal amp but just miss a looper part inside to be really complete. And it's akways the same problem with this amp modeling type. Maybe one day they one constructor will took the Rubicon to be really complete. That's what i'm looking for. Nice video anyway good job done 😉👍

@marcelmaxa5312 6 ай бұрын

Another nice toy for home. Something like Blackstar which is also stereo. I like that there is a touch display. Nice sound. I have a Positive grid Spark mini at home and it plays very similarly. In the hands of Leon, the sound of fantasy. I wonder what will happen in 10 years. There's always something new. You can't even watch it. Too bad we can't have everything. Very good review. Great product.

While i do think this is a incredible practice amp i am disappointed that there is no Looper? The ampero's all have a 90 second looper so i am surprised they Omited it for this amp? Other than that it is killer!

PositiveGrid just did bad engineering with the first releases of the Spark40... if the repair cost me more than 100€, i won't spend the money into this piece of junk and buy the Pulze instead.
