bro's definition is distortion is "slightly muddy"

Bro's really afraid of distortion

BRO PUT THE DISTORTION ON

This guy would die if he plugged into a 5150

Bro's soul would leave this relm if he plugged into a tripple rectifier

Even his distortion sounds clean

I’m surprised his amps aren’t shaped like strats lol

even in a video about testing amp distortion he's still afraid of it 💀💀💀

One doesn’t plug an amplifier INTO a distortion pedal.

Gain needs to be more than 1 my dude.

Blackstar Debut 50 sounded the best imo

They sound perfectly clean to me

You should test with more distortion, it just sounded like a fuzz.

I'm gonna say the Blackstar Debute 50 had the best distortion tone

We wanna here some goddamn chugs if ur gonna plug a boss ds1 in bruh not blues licks

I liked the "bad quality" of the cheaper fender

That Marshall sounded cleeeeaaaaaannnn 👌

I fucking love that riff from Funck, Rafa is such a talented artist

ds1 was originally designed to send a marshall into high gain heaven

All of these sounded WAY to clean to even tell if any of the amps could handle distortion well

These are more like overdrive or heavy crunch tones, but I think they all sound really good. It's definitely not distortion though, even if you're using a distortion pedal. You can use the boss distortion pedal as a sort of boost/overdrive, or you can go full distortion, especially if you stack it with other pedals or go into an already overdriven amp. Anyways, they all sounded good. It's cool to see you play a guitar with Humbuckers.

I’d rather have my Boss Katana MKII 50. On a side note, dude definitely sounded more like fuzz than distortion. I own the DS-1 and the DS-2 and both sound better than what he just played.

All sound amazing in my opinion. The Fender Deluxe Reverb and the Marshall are my favorites

That Marshall was the best

That reverb sounded dope brother

blackstar debut 50 was just perfect

Can’t go wrong with a Marshall. I’m glad I spent the $1900 on my 1960AV

It just depends on which amp has the most headroom. And by that test, the Marshall sounded like it wasn’t even bothered by your puny little DS1 pedal

The Marshall brings your natural sound out Mikey🎉🎈🎭🎶🎵🥊🥊

Bro would enter the shadow realm if he tried a Mesa or a 5150 or some shit

I've been playing live in a punk band for years and i will always love the fender amp tone. Got myself a hotrod deluxe and it works beautiful with pretty much every pedal I have.

That blackstar tone was surprisingly nice.

Marshal and blackstar seem to have the nicest and most widely applicable tone, I'm not the biggest fan of the others, but I'm sure someone can find a way to make it sound amazing in a niche

Personally I will never run away from Marshalls. Im thinking about trying an orange because I can't afford a tube amp yet but maybe I'll get a tube marshall someday

The debut 50 is sick 🎸

mikey piscopo play with actual distortion challenge (impossible)

Gotta say the black star really surprised me.

It’s alright to have add a little distortion my guy, that’s what an electric guitar is for.

Its also depends on the specific amp model. All of them have a distinct sound.

Somebody get this man a Mesa Boogie

I’ve always enjoyed Marshall amps. Throw that little peddle away and let the amp sing!

I just use my amp distortion, sounds better than the most expensive pedal

That’s so much distortion i literally crapped myself

I kind a like the black star amp has a amazing sound

That reverb deluxe is naturally distorted if u crank the volume past 6 without any pedals

Bro turned the gain up , switched to the bridge pickup and turned the tone knob to 10 and called it distortion.

the LINR 6 SPIDER JAM. 😅

To be honest I like the way all three of them sound like, they all their own unique tone.

I didn’t even know the distortion was on yet until he did the last amp

This guy makes a face of someone playing an epic solo with a lot of soul and intention- but without the good things I just mentioned.

“Massive tone test” lol

Love the black star amps

I think that you should play the same riff so it is easy to compare, great as always my dude

Marshall amp blew everything out the water

Dead ass didn't even know that he had the distortion on, i kept waiting for it until i realised

Blackstar actually is my favorite, which I did not expect.

I’m pretty sure just a single second with the distortion cranked up would instantly vaporize this dud

Third one kinda hinted at Looking Out For You, good shit

I have this distinct feeling that he talks about technicalities without knowing what he's talking about

The blackstar sounded great!

Shit sounded like my clean tone

Had to re-holster my devil horns.

Expectations: Distortion Reality: Mild fuzz

Mrshall and blackstar are my fav

The blackstar amps are really good. I've been messing with the Blackstar ID Core 100 at my local guitar shop. It's a great sounding amp

Bro’s clean kills 100% of germs

Dlx or marshall.. cleanest crunchiest sound of the bunch.. I like the crunch!

Fender deluxe reverb and Marshall

Last one sounded the best

the blackstar sounded great

Champion 20 sounds underwater as always

funck by rafa !!!

I still like my good ol' 1974 Peavey Artist loaded with Mesa Boogie tube's, and a beefy Randall speaker.... I'm satisfied with my sound... it took years.... finally nailed the perfect sound. Perfect dirt crunch, when I put the Master Volume on 1½, and the regular Volume on 10.... 🎸👈😉👍

Damn that blackstar amp actually sounds awesome

1. Amp doesnt matter, you should try speakers 2. just dont use distortion at this point. Thats slight overdrive

Now that’s Brisk, baby!

I love the black star.

Marshall is the best

Bro can't handle the distortion used at the beginning of psychosocial.

For any one wondering there is no “distortion pedal friendly amp”. Almost any will sound good if you just adjust the settings right and the difference in sound here is mostly different kinds/sizes/amounts of speakers. Here are some easy settings for making distortion pedals sound good. - Fender or clean amps = lower the tone, crank the gain, volume just a bit louder than the clean guitar. - Marshall or crunchy amps = tone a little lower than halfway, lower distortion, more volume. - Blackstar or higher gain amps = lower tone on guitar, turn up tone on pedal, lower distortion and more volume. Ps. A Marshall cab doesn’t do the same thing as a Marshall amp…

Marshall and black star sounded like they took the pedal better than the fender.

Guys this was just part 1, where he shows the clean sounds of the amps, part 2 he will turn on the distortion

I like the first fender but id personally go with the blackstar sound

Most expensive one sounds the best surprise surprise

You need to use Orange head cabinet with that stomp. 😊

Thanks man!

Orange all the way for me personally. I run a Schecter with EMG 81s through a crybaby wah, then a Boss Metal Zone, through the return on my Orange Crush Pro 60 all connected with Mogami cables.

Blackstar had the sharpest and clearest sound of them all this time so it takes the win for me

I love the black star one

The Fender Deluxe when compared to the other amps in this assessment sounded best. Still retained decent note to note articulation.

Me personally it's between 2 and 4, two is clearer yet gives a nice crunch and as for 4, it's smooth and crisp with a nice level of tone

This man uses everything as microphone except an ACTUAL MICROPHONE

Learning those Polyphia songs and licks has completely changed your playing. That’s crazy

Blackstar sounded great here

RAFA RODRIGUEZ FUNCK!? W song to use for a sound test

Blackstar and fender is defo a fave

Bro you forgot to turn up the gain and tone

Black star had that sexy beefy crisp personality fr fr

Marshal is what I liked best but I enjoy a more mellow like sound and that's what came through to me so I can't speak for everyone by any means.

Mans forgot to step on the pedal before recording
