3:15 that is a terrible old school crunch tone.. Buzzy as hell

Every dual rec i ever owned was flubby and bloated

What is he playing?

Got a good valve amp for $600 with a friedman demonfx distortion $50 and absolutely beast sounds better than the boogie for $4000

Doze this amp have same distortion as the mesa studio 22plus.

How does it sound with p90s?

Got mine as a gift online from GC from a customer return pretty much right after they came out. Shipped in mint condition for less than 1K. One piece of gear I will NEVER part with.

Csm you footwitch between the clean channel and the next bump up in gain, that is all I need. Treat it as a single channel amp.

How big a room were you in when you did this demo and would this amp work in a small studio space?

Great sounding combo for $2000. Not a bad sound in that amp. The clean is amazing, which surprised me.

Awesome amp and awesome playing. I was not a fan of mic placement and Maybe there was some clipping going on, heard something crackle but absolutely no disrespect nice demo.

Opening music BLARING. Quickly, volume down down down. Guy speaking, almost a whisper. Quickly, volume up up up. Hundreds of videos are done like this. Why?

Really appreciate this thorough review, and the exceptional playing. Made up my mind and look forward to getting one. Only thing is, i may want to sell all of my pedals now!! This thing sounds so wonderful and versatile. Thanks!!!

whats the difference between the mark 1 as shown, and the mark II ? (I've just bought the Mark II and waiting for it to be delivered)

Makes me want to run out and buy one. But as a reality check, and to quote the late, great Tom Petty... "Just because you have Pete Townsend's rig, doesn't mean you're going to sound like Pete Townsend."

Love your playing. Thanks for the video.

id rather push bass max gain max rest of the ball to 6 oclock with vintage. dual rectifier. Roadster ae pentode diagram. crisp ic solid state like unsmooth config rectificates.

THAT SOUNDS SO KILLER ,From 2021! Liquid!

You know, after many years of owning this amp, I love what others call "bland" on here. I want to like other amps beyond my simple acoustic amps that I use for archtop guitars and nylon-string guitars, including the usual suspects from Mesa Boogie, Fender, Vox, and, being in Canada, Traynor. I try them out, even take along a couple guitars, usually a Gretsch 6120 and Fender Strat, but I just don't like the clean sound of other amps as much as I like the neutral warm sound, not too chimey, thank goodness, of this amp. It's weird. I don't even play with a plectrum so this amp, theoretically, should not be up my alley at all. However, the simple clean tone operations make it worth trying for others I hope. Perhaps you'll not take to it, but it is a worth a try. The added drive channel can be quite useful even for fingerstyle players not usually into that sort of thing. Sustain is a wonderful option to have on drive channels designed for those with very different ideas on what an amp is for. So I suppose I am admitting that I do like the drive channel for blues tone. That's for sure. I bought my never-had-any-issues yet HT Club 40 years ago because it was not screaming at me when I played it. It is the sort of amp that lets my guitar and my hands do the playing. I never have to wrestle with it. The amp was recommended to me by an old folk guitarist whose shop has since closed. He heard me playing guitar and suggested that I try an amp that he reckoned I would never otherwise try. So I did try it among others, went back to it, bought it, forgot to get the footswitch, which I later had to order as the store had gone out of business. I am an idiot. Anyway, the footswitch was out of stock the day I was in town buying the amp. It did come with the amp. My stupidity not to go back and get it. I have played it on stages, in my studio, in the living room while watching movies, and so on. I suppose that makes it versatile. It also might hint at the fact that I like the sound of it at any volume level. Also, I really love hearing reviews of guitars with active pickups. Contrary to popular belief, you can get some great clean tones out of the very pick ups used in this video. I had an Ibanez ARZ800 for years that I had to part with as it caused problems for my left hand due to the shape of the neck. Still, I played jazz gigs with that guitar. Smooth. People thought that I was crazy, but the proof could be heard. I reckon the creator of the video didn't bother to worry about clean tone as that is not usually the focus of most Blackstar amp owners. As I am an outlier, I thought that I might make a few comments about my experience as I use the clean channel in all its simplicity most of the time.

Just picked up a used DELUXE version of this amp! Came from factory with basketweave tolex, artisan grill and A-Type Celestion. I haven't had a tube amp for 5 years and OMG!

three thumbs up for testing with single coils too!!

This seems someone similar sounding to the mkii, it has a focus on the silibant peircing frequencies and it’s not that noticeable on lower volume but when it’s loud it’s not a pleasant experience. The fingers squealing across the strings, clickity clackity type of sounds etc are louder than the music itself. Very harsh and bright. Can’t really dial it out, if you try to scoop it or bump up the bass it just gets too thumpy, it’s just voiced with those frequencies in mind I suppose for being able to cut through and add presence. But it sounds tinny, harsh and sharp. I compared with my marshall and I realized what some people says that I never noticed a ton, that Marshall’s are slightly scooped. Maybe that’s true or maybe this is just too too forward. The Marshall takes those harsh frequencies . After knowing the harshness I can hear it at lower volumes. It may sound bright here and cutting but that’s at a low recorded playback, so it seems okay, This will get exponentially more penetrating and peircing at louder volumes.

Are any of these now still available ?

I just bought the 50. Sweet amp🔥🥂 Great playing!

Would you recommend swapping the 70/80 celestion for a V30?

I see my guitar's professor play on you tube.thanks for him.

I love my ht40 it sounds great at low volume and when the tubes warm up sounds incredible no pedals needed but time based effects through the loop ,,,awesome,,

blackstars, to me, just suck. lifeless.

Hands down the best amp I've ever owned. I really like the digital reverb with the bright/dark option, as well as the bright/dark clean channel. Some purists might be disappointed that it isn't quite "all tube". It actually uses some mosfets in lieu of traditional cathode followers, which is how it gets such insane gain with only 2 preamp tubes. The mosfets don't actually amplify anything though - they're really just there as impedance buffers to ensure signal loss doesn't occur in the tonestack or any other areas that might attenuate it. Regardless, it sounds fantastic and it's cheap to retube

thumbs up for blackened...demo sounded good man

Wow, sounds great, and even better playing!

Sounds like shit through my dollar store Bluetooth

I love my little 25 watt recto verb mam it has a great clean sound r. Get as nasty as you need loud as hell sounds good at low volumes but better the loud you get it

Wow I didn't k ow that amp had that much gain on tap he made it sound great

Best video I've seen on this app so far! Great playing! Top notch!

I would like to have a good ampli for blues. Is it a good Choice? I look for the Roland Cube Blues and the Fender?... What is the best? Thank you...

sounds great. i love it.

Available for sale???

Sounds bad to me....like a brass bottom hi hat getting crashed...

Thanks for the demo both humbucker and single coil well done great l want one now.

This Amp is " A Fire Breathing Dragon " - it has Fender-like Cleans, and That Boogie Overdrive-from-Hell. This is quite possibly The Only Amp you will ever need. oNe LovE from NYC

Now that’s how you demo an amp, folks....Mesa should get rid of Andy Timmons and hire Derek!!!!

HOT amp have two . and they behave well, you dont need much treble !

No way is that amp worth the $1300-1500 price tag...you can get a used mark iv for under $1000

The best demo I heard for the Roadster to date. I own a Road King II (similar preamp to Roadster), I never managed to get this brightness out of the amp, it is much darker. What preamp tubes were you using, is there a special set in V1...? What about power amp tubes? Thank you!

Best demo video ever.

i like the sound of Blackstar more than Vox ac amps

Sounds like total shit
