Refreshing to hear a guitarist that lets the melody breathe...

This channel is such a treat, from the calm, eloquent presentation to the transcendent playing.

i've got the Victory Amp Rk50, a CS Tele, a Revstar, an Ox amp and i sound nothing like you. i did notice we use a different pick so i'm putting it down to that.

Musicians in the past : we want to be louder Musicians now : we want to be louder and quieter at the same time.

The playing is masterful... The stuff you do with your right hand going between the pick and fingers is unreal!

The Ox is a game changer for home players and studio work. 2.5 years since it's release and people are still asking this question and finding how impressive that it is. If you want to use your own amp, pedals, etc and don't want to peel the paint off the walls all the time, or don't have access to an iso booth, the Ox is the best solution out there.

LOVED the Chris Cornell "Know my name" you played on the Revstar!

This man knows the value of a note!

Man alive. That intro! 😍

INCREDIBLE playing and brilliant video Chris. Thanks!

As you know Chris I’ve had mine for over 2 years now and I wouldn’t be without it. It’s an essential part of my setup for practicing. The ability to record everything when I need to and to choose whether to play through the cab, monitors or headphones is just great. It’s been an extremely worthwhile investment.

I was the same as you Chris I wasn’t in to ir or modelling but when I tried the ox I was blown away and I don’t go anywhere with out it now I love it

Chris could talk about anything, just as long as he plays!😁

Love me some Friday Fretworks! Let the weekend begin. Thanks Chris.

Chris Cornell was a very nice touch man. RIP for him and congrats for you. Beast of a player

It’s perfect for me! Quality rather than quantity of cab and mic choices is great. I never fully gelled with the big modelers, but now we get all the benefits while still using our own amps. Result!

That version of 'you know my name' was everything

I run the stereo line outs of my ox into my strymon mobius->volante->timeline->big sky then into my recording interface for modulation+delay+reverb of my choice... sounds great :)

My favorite guitarists together at last! What a joy, Chris: the fun exploration of the man, the music, the times & then the smokin' into burning playing. Let that flag fly!

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this channel. Great review and really wonderful playing.

Incredibly insightful video. Subscribed Greetings from Melbourne Australia!

Very helpful. Appreciate the insights, comparisons & take-aways. Gutsy jam too! Always making Fridays a delight. Cheers! Have a great weekend

I've been curious about these. Thanks for shedding some light Chris. Sublime playing as always!

I've had the OX now for almost 2 years and its literally the best studio tool I've ever owned. Had every attenuator, impulse, plugins, amp sims, etc. But never did a solution come together so elegantly and simply while sounding and feeling this good. 99.9% of the time I use mine in the studio without a cabinet but it's also great to use when working on amps as a load or an attenuator to test out the work. I'd love to have the ability to run 2 cabinets in the OX software, but otherwise it's perfect.

That rug really ties the room together

Where Jimmi Hendrix left off CHRIS BUCK has filled the void!!!! THANKS CHRIS!!!!

That piece at the beginning tho... I'm kinda getting to used to it: people in the 70s had favorite vinyl LPs, we favorite bookmarked gear review videos.

Great video, very articulate delivery in this review - well done! Lovely playing too, incredibly musical.

That intro was EPIC!

Things get real serious on 4:35 ... man you’re sounding beyond dope!!! Holy shi*

Best piece of gear I've ever bought, hands down.

Thank you, Chris, for taking the time to go over the OX. I looked at one a while back and decided for $700.00 more I could buy a Fractal Ax FX III and ended up getting one of those. I to this point have not regretted it. Loved the jams today. Take care :)

beautiful man.. this is art..

That drummer nailed it! I put that down to your choice of shirt.

Love your reviews, Chris. In awe of your playing.

I keep coming back to this video as it has some of my favorite playing of yours on here! I also just got a Captor X....fantastic device!

Chris! Love your playing! Love your tone too!

Great review, thank you man!

Cheers Chris that was very interesting and informative along with your tasty playing 👍

I own an Ox Box and I love it, best gear for a home studio/apartment environment.

Amazing playing Chris - the best episode yet. I can see how the Ox inspired you to dig in and let rip.

Same story ever... In French we say 'make the wood play' and so you do! Your fingers do it all (almost 😂). You are a great player I hope you come to Paris one day

Incredible playing

0:08 This music is totally inspirational. Great job.

Getting an OX Box literally changed my way of practising and recording: I love it. I agree with the live application use, although i've found that its good for giving the sound engineer some options and can make sound checks a lot easier when they've got a decent stereo feed coming from you. It's not the easiest thing to lug about though, they need to make a carry case for it and there's always some prat that uses it as table for their pint...

Your playing sounds great, as always. The OX seems like a good unit, however, at the same price you can buy the Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander, which has IRs and other functions beyond what the Ox has. I've had a TAE for about 2 months and I love it.

I really love your playing man.

Of all the guitars you play, your Highway One Strat always sounds the best to me.

Amazing playing and tone

Now that's some great playing!

Loved all the the great expressive playing and bad to the bone tone in this video, it sounds "better" than live! IMO.

Congratulations on being an incredible guitarist

What an intro 👏

I agree to everything you said, although I use the Ox for touring as well, mainly to have control over my sound in my inear monitoring and being able to play at very low volumes without sacrificing the sound of the amp. Great tasteful playing as usual, very nice!

Pleasant playing skills!

Kick ass tone, killer playing man! Awesome

Very tasty playing indeed

Great playing, the OX amp is so amazing. I’ve had mine for about a year, best guitar tones I’ve had ever. Sold my older Axe Fx floor model, and haven’t looked back.

Awesome guitar playing as always .

Your playing is always so good!! The ox is awesome too!

The Room Mic IR emulation in the OX is the most realistic sound that puts you in the room. UA does amazing convolution and mic modeling. Your videos sound amazing with the OX. I have lots of mics and gear but don’t really need them with the OX.

Thoroughly Enjoyed 🤘🏾

The last outro solo is straight up holy fire fakin good

Sublime playing (as ever) ✅

That second jam was 😱💪

Cheers Chris, interesting insight, mucho apreciado. :)

Infinitely searching for superlatives to describe your infinitely amazing tone and control 😊 Sadly a seemingly infinite wait for a live gig 😢

Would like to see a v2 that lets you have more outputs. Direct, with cab, fx separate channels. Also ability to run some other uad plugins on the device would be cool.

Sounds great! Great skills!

I wanted to see a video of this!

Nice! On the comments about the delay and reverb not necessarily being useful -- there are a few small reasons it's nice to have these available for free: you can use your amp's gain and have the Ox fx placed afterward as if in a loop on amps that don't have fx loops; you can keep your amp's speaker (or cab) dry with no delay/reverb pedals in front but add these fx in the OX out to monitors to get a quick simple wet/dry setup in the room; the Ox fx and optical out are stereo and not everyone has stereo delays or reverbs in their pedals; you can stack your pedal delay into the Ox's dual delay for cascading ambient effects without extra pedals. Not a game changers by any stretch, but nice to have onboard for free (if you can call it "free" given the overall cost!)

Well done! Truly inspired playing.

Hi, I liked your demo very much. Maybe you have an idea if Universal Audio will do another update

Being a bit of a dinosaur as far as tech is concerned, I didn't understand a word! However, I did really enjoy the twangy, musicy bits! Love the playing! Ya big show aff!

Chris, you could talk about the phone book and make it interesting.

Chris... sick Playing Bro!!!! Great Video!

Wow incredible playing! Instant subscription 🎸🎸 I’m very glad I discovered this channel. What pickups are in the intro Strat? Sounds incredible.

Love my ox box

Total is spot-on Eric Johnson from his Tones album. Nice work!

I definitely see the attraction to the OX. I considered getting one a couple of years ago, but the OSX-only support kept me from pulling the trigger. I ended up with a Kemper instead. When comparing the two options, I really can't see why you would get an OX over a Kemper. I mean.. sure I'd love to have both. But if I were to choose one, Kemper gives you so much more in a smaller package. (One unit with your entire pedal board and 1,000 amps built in rather than a load box and your amp.) So.. either way, I respect the results that come from the OX and your video was fantastic by the way. I did find it amusing when you mentioned using Guitar Rig for the spring reverb. Actually, I think it would have been cool if they built an analog spring reverb into the Ox. But I digress.. yeah... Kemper wins this fight in my mind. The spring reverb in it rocks! =)

That Reverb is BEAUTIFUL

Amazing playing

Btw you can use your Ox in the Helix. So, guitar input to Helix... fx send to amp input, amp to ox, ox to the return. This is a nice setup if you like Helix routing and effects, but want to use your amps. Hope it helps...

The biggest question every week is - why on earth do you have Spitting Image figures of Thatcher and Reagan in the room?

Just here to listen to the pickin’ cheers

Dude can play (with feeling)!

Still holding out for that firmware update where they include a Chris Buck.

I wish he did lessons. I’d love to know how to get to my own level of that.

My dear friend Chris... even if you played with the most crap equipment you will still sound amazing because you are a beast of a guitarist! I have come to the conclusion after many many euros spent on equipment that magic is in the hands...If I don't improve my playing even with the most advanced equipment I will continue to sound like crap...

Great demo of the OX but most importantly: DAMN You play the crap out of Your axes!!! Awesome playing and dare I say it, a bit Mike Landau sounding!!! 👌👌👌👌

Oh my god, someone else who who can't live without the guitar rig 5 spring reverb. Although, personally I dig the Vintage Verb AMP spring on Mix: 100% Dry / 50% Wet. It's ruined every spring reverb emulation pedal I own. Nothing sounds clean enough :(

Damn i want a Revstar 502 like yours, my black 502 isn't nearly as pretty. Come on yamaha!

I don't give a frenchman's fromage about the gear really, I'm coming back to listen to the the solo jam 3-4 times a week.

I think the waza tube amp expander looks like the better value, would love to see a demo/comparison between the two

Lovely playing there

So i gotta know ...when you tweaked that string during the intro ..were you out of tune or did you mean to do that... cuz if you did.....so coool brother....happy holidays chris

Chris beautiful playing as always. Most importantly, what watch is on your wrist?

Sounds like a pretty exciting gadget for the home user. You'd have to bite the lip a bit on the price but it seems like you get a bit for you're buck though. No pun intended :)

Your Jams are so bloody incredible.. How do you get that tone out of your fingers?

I didn't understand much 😹 but the video and of course your awesome playing were very enjoyable
