This Amp is a piece o gem..I really dont care what the G.A.S. conoiseurs say about it..The Amp with the fdd tube buton is fantastic..Place a Blosom Point in front of it and you are in tube heaven..And the most important this Amp takes every pedal like a mother the child..And i really use many boutique pedals,mostly Amps In A Box to catch the songs i want imediateIly..I have the MG100DFX for 450 Usd since 2005 among others,like Koch Jupiter 40w hybrid tube combo,Messa Boogie Mark 20w all tube combo,Laney 10w tube combo,But i always use this as my main amp (miked) for my gigs and Koch and Messa for back up or stereo combinations..With my well known band,we play in open summer festivals,we play in basketballstadiums,universities and clubs as well..The buzz you mension is normal because this thing is alive..Billy Gibons once said that a pedal or an Amp without noise is dead body and guess what lately he started to use budget pedals..If you don't know how to use Solid State staff correct go and spend money for nothing to buy expensive and mostly useless tube gear..Can you crank a Fender Deluxe Brown or Black panel in a Club or in a Beach Bar?of course not cause the audience will bleed from the ears..Whell this Amp you can crank it and it has a very pleasant sound fully cranked..Last but not least is built like a tank,doesnt need maintenance and is very reliable for 18 years now with no problem at all.. The fan makes a noise for about 30 secs when you turn it on until it gets hot and after a hiss of quiet (tube style maybe? i don't know and i don't care)..Many Pro Travel Mucisians in Nasville use this exactly Amp for Blues cause it pairs great with the Nobels Odr1 and with the TS9..Thats all folks..Spend your money to clever staff and learn how to use it.. p.s. I bought a second one from an irrelevant for 150 Euro..Keep Rockin..
Dude you are so right. I was thinking about doing a video talking about this one being my favorite amplifier. I got Oranges and Laneys but. This one is special its warm and bluesy it has enough gain for modern metal its perfection. Keep Rockin. Ken:D
PS I got my eye on the MG100HDFX which is the Head version. Paired with a 212 might be my ultimate amp forever. Ken:D
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq Absolutely..Is a gret choise but dont forget that you can do the same with the combo..An with two combos you can have the stereo option..This is the reason i went for a second combo..Cheers.
@@marioc473 Thanks for the tip. that may be the way to go. Combos can be had for 200 dollars and heads I can only find on ebay for 300 dollars plus you got to pay shipping and handling. So I may Get a second Mg100dfx. have a great Sunday my friend. Ken:D
When was it made? Thanks
So sorry I don't know. I suspected that it was made in the 80's so I did a search and it was definitely made in the 80's but I can figure out exactly. have a great Thursday. Ken:D
not to be a dick but, you talking about it instead of playing it is fckn stupid and a waste of our time. Just play the fckn thing!
Im going to buy my first real guitar was also looking for amp, was looking for new and modern. Now I know I need the old stuff. This amp is top on my wishlist.
Thats great dude I'm always happy to hear people finding the perfect gear and guitars to help them make music. Ken:D
The JVM combo weighs a metric ton. The head not so much and the 4x12 cab has wheels. Great amp regardless. Have the head and it is quite versatile. Always never minded about tears and nicks in a cab. The head should be nick free. The combos and especially heavy one will get beaten up. They are very awkward to carry, and putting wheels on them and rolling across a parking lot will unseat the tubes and vibrate all of the internals. Open back is another diss-advantage and the loss of bass is evident on an open back cab. Otherwise fantastic amp
Great argument for the Head I think if I were going to get one which I am desperate for one I would get a head and cabinet. Ken:D
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq Combos get nicked, the Head you will take care of. the cabs get nicked and they almost look cooler with some tears. They are on the back normally. The Head unit is what you have and eventually sell, or not but those nicks on a cab mean nothing
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq The 205 JVM is a great head. Have seen them for 900 here in Texas.
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq A combo JVM 410 is a heavy amp. A head with a 4x12 with castors is easier to transport. Better sounding and if you are careful with the head and keep it prestine, you will get money back should you decide to sell it. The cab will get nicks, this doesn't matter. The combo with nicks and it is impossible to not nick it. Will have a terrible resale.
Having a 412 cabinet gives you speaker changes to your liking, you can put some 25 watt green backs, some cream backs, any speaker you want. Cab may have some tears, it is a cab. The Head is like new.
Do you have a link where it can be pruchased? I was looking at building my own, but this might be a good start to build off of.
Thank you for your question. Unfortunatlly I bought mine from Amazon and it looks like it is no longer available sorry bro. Ken:D
😮
Does it cleans up well with the volume knob rolled back? Also does it retain a bit of Tele tone ? I'm on the fence between this and Chopper T because I feel like this pickup sounds a bit too harsh for my kind of songs but I feel like Chopper T isn't quite as harsh as I want it judging from the demos even though I like the tone very much. I usually play blues, punk, grunge, hard rock
Hey thank you for the question. It doesn't clean up great but its not choked like some other pickups I have turned the volume on. also I do use that technique even though its not the best. As far as Tele tone I would say its pretty far away from the tele tones that I know. But then again my experience is mainly with squiers and other friends tele's with aftermarket pickups. I would say it would be great for all distortion purposes. to attempt an answer I think the Chopper T may be the more versatile choice. Hope this helps. Ken:D
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq thank you !, Chopper T is probably the best choice.
@@CLA82529 Anytime dude:D
6V6 Tube
Thank you so much for the correction. Ken:D
I bet a little reverb would sound good with this riff, nice work
Excellent Idea, Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Ken:D
I have been a Marshall freak for years. I've had a Plexi, JMP, JCM 800, JCM 900, the Silver Jubilee and the JCM 2000 DSL. For my taste, the JCM 2000 was the best Marshall they made. Great clean sound and there is a ton of usable gain. No need to modify or tweak anything. No need to add any preamp tubes, no other gain stages, etc. It's all there.
Thank you for your comment. I gotta tell you its great information because I always wonder if I should get a JCM 800 or a Silver Jubilee. you comment makes me appreciate my DSL. Ken:D
Thanks for the video ! I find the super crush sounded great
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Ya I like it. Keep Rockin Jimmy. Ken:D
Yeah, my blue one is about 14 pounds and yes that’s a BC Rich warbeast nice one. I love mine
Thanks man. dream guitar for sure. Ken:D
Sounds like good for stuff like the band Bush. There is less body and some distortion, its good and maybe if we attach a distortion pedal maybe, we can add more effect and sustain and more body if we add a bigger cab, but it looks good enough for home. Good demo
Thank you so much. I take that as a great compliment. Thank you for watching and commenting. Ken:D
My Dude! Thank you for that post. We be totally sympatico. Ima buy me the RED one right now! Thank you! -am
Errr, not an employee or giant proponent of Musician's Friend, or anything like that at all... BUT (today, TUE., 2024.08.14) they have a "stupid deal of the day' sale going on the red Rogue RLS-1 lap steel, in red. Ima do it right now, just as soon as I stop typing this out... It's my birf-day too! The GF just handed me her credit card. 🙂
okay, just did it ~ $85-bucks ~ cheep! Cain't wait to get her!
Dude I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I sincerly hope you enjoy your new guitar. Ken:D
Dude happy birthday. You won't regret. It is really fun to play slide on one of these. Ken:D

Hi, i have a Vox combo but idk how to connect the Power Soak to my amp. I don't really understand what they say on the manual. Please help 😅
Ok make sure that the Power soak can handle the Ohms of the amplifier. Than you need a speaker cable and you plug that into the output section of the amplifier. From their you plug the speaker cable into the corresponding input jack on the Power soak. Then there is probably a speaker cable on the speaker with a 1/4 inch jack Plug that into the appropriate jack on the Power soak. Then turn the big dial down and turn your amp on Then raise the big dial till you get sound. Then adjust it to your liking. Hope this helps. Ken:D
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq Ok thanks, i will try that :D
@@Owen_plays_music1049 Good Luck :D
When you said "that's how far the second channel goes, but here's the Overdrive Channel" I was momentarily confused. I forgot this amp has four channels.
Thanks you for your comment. Absolutly this amp has a bunch of channels and effects and it can be a little intimidating but once your used to it its a fantastic little amp. Ken:D
Try Hocking it up to a 4 X12 quod box for extra bottom end .and an EQ for more control.just learn how it works take time.
i appreciate that this video is 6:02 long
I agree with you on the DiMarzio Super Distortion vs Duncan Distortion. I've always loved the Super D, and it is a fine pickup, very widely used, legendary, with a lot of historical significance, being as it was the first popular aftermarket pickup. But the Duncan Distortion has withstood the test of time better than the Super Distortion. There are a number of reasons for this, but here are a few. For one, even though the Duncan Distortion was first introduced to the world in 1980, it is tighter and has more bite and far better harmonics than the Super Distortion, three aspects which would make it a more relevant pickup as the highs rolled on. By 1985 players left and right were ditching DiMarzios for Duncans. They were just more relevant. A JB is far more versatile than a Super Distortion and has as much crunch, better harmonics, cuts through a mix better, and is tighter, but a Duncan Distortion has the icing on the cake of being even tighter with even more snarl and bite. It's still fun to pop a Super Distortion into an ax and play classic rock, but a JB or Duncan Distortion has more balls and power and harmonics and can get you into more of a contemporary headspace because of these qualities. They always say, "It's the player, not the gear," but a player will always do a better job with better gear. Put Mario Andretti in a go-cart, and he's still Mario Andretti. But he won't be winning any stockcar races. Pickups are the engine of an electric guitar. You need a good engine to get up to speed. The Duncan Distortion is a V-12 Lamborghini engine.
Right on I can't believe how precisely you nailed the nail on the head. We are in complete agreement. And I wasn't part of a large group of guitar players so it was great to hear someone who knows how they migrated from the Dimarzios to Duncans. Thank you for your comment. Ken:D
These are both very solid pickups and I've used both. The Distortion is a JB with a ceramic mag. They otherwise share very similar DNA. The Distortion is raw but also very clear for such a high output pickup. The JB is more open, and that's natural for an alnico 5. The Distortion has a massive ceramic magnet and it's more tuned towards metal. I played on the Sunset Strip in the 80s and the JB was the single most popular pickup, followed by the Duncan Distortion, Custom, DiMarzio Super Distortion, X2N, MegaDrive, EMG 81, Bill Lawrence 500 XL, etc.
Dude you were ther man thats great. It must have been a very fun time. Thank you so much for commenting. Ken:D
The first sound was also ok and i made the drum roll with my mouth but then when you turn it on, it's just simply plain satisfactory
Thank you so much. I'm glad people are feelin the vibes. Ken:D
This is awesome Ken! I got my first guitar in 1993 after discovering HELMET! A “Lyon” Strat copy 😂 *The answer is no… man did I hear that a lot growing up!
Dude I think these songs and these first guitars effect everything we do man. I think my parents saying no was a good thing because I thought ok well I'm doing it. LOL have a great Thurs Ken
Fun review. I would be happy with any of these amps. Throw in a pedal or two... Plenty of sounds and tones on tap.
Dude thank you so much, I agree I am happy to have all 3 but I would be just as happy with any 1. Ken:D
Man I've never liked the Orange sound, this endorses that. The Marshall wins for me.
Dude Thank you so much for your comment, Ya I think maybe after the newness of the laney wears off I will be back with my Marshall, Have a great day tomorrow dude. Ken:D
Crunchy man
@@azathoth00 I'll take that as a compliment. Ken:D
Woah! You are heading out on the road Ken!?
Hey Rez, This video is a re upload of a video I made a couple years ago. I was planning on being a van tuber but my Mom got sick and I couldn't get the plan all the way together so I stayed home. Now I have lost the desire to travel the world and kinda just want to stay around my hometown. I hop you had a great 4th dude Ken:D As an aside If my band ever gets some traction I still would love to see the United states and visit with every one I meet:D
I have never seen this pedal before. Sounds good.
I never seen it before too its pretty new, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it, The weird thing is it sounds overblown on all the distortion models. which I like but i'm not sure they were going for. Have a great rest of your week. Ken:D
Ken I’ve been trying to find your old video of a song you wrote that I really like. I remember it was in black and white with you in your back yard. Do you have the link? Loved that song 😊
Thank you so much for remembering me thats so cool. So I started over on youtube the song you are looking for may be on my Lovesick Jug Band UA-cam channel. or It may not be because I lost a bunch of my content when I quit. Thanks again my friend. Ken:D
Happy belated birthday Ken! I also feel the same way as you with the heaviness off existence heavy on my shoulders. Just know that your honesty and vulnerability makes you a star! I’ve followed you for years since the tent days and if I was in the USA I’d love to have a jam with you! Don’t ever change mate! If more people were as honest and vulnerable as you the world would be a better place! Lots of love from Australia! Rock on man!
dude I was just talking to another guy on the east coast If I can ever travel it would be sick to meet with all my friends that I'm getting on UA-cam:D
I have this amp!👍
Its pretty sick for a little 20 watter. Ken:D
Hey there, I know I’m a year late to this but alas, better late than never. I have the chance to get one of these for a pretty reasonable price. I’m looking for an amp to replace my Orange Crush 12, and I mainly play like Tool, Metallica, stuff like that, but I’d be using it as a bedroom amp, is it able to suit well for those kind of sounds without being cranked all the way up?
I definitly think it can work. Its a very good amp. It may have slightly less gain than the Orange but not wimpy, If you boost with an overdrive than no problem whatsoever it will be perfect. It also might sound Heavier if you scoop your mids. I usually don't scoop my mids but I think it may sound more metal that way. Sorry for not saying for sure but basically it depends on weather you like to boost or how much gain you need. feel free to keep in contact if you have specific questions. Ken:D
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq Awesome. Also, I’ve heard some worrying things about these amps running really hot and ultimately killing themselves overheating, has yours had any issues with this or is it just older or newer models?
@@armourentertainment4389 Mine is an older model and I have never had a problem with overheating but I rarely play it longer than an hour :D
I might have a go at making one of those.
I hope you do man, I bet you could make a brilliant Lap Steel. Ken:D
Ken! You look like a Catholic Priest... Father METAL! This was a great video, thanks for posting!
LOL thats too funny I never thought of that but its so true. Now I can't think of my look any other way. Ken:D
Man I love TELECASTERs! That guitar screams "Tom Morello!"
I love Telecasters as well they are the guitar that I have been a fan of longer than any other, Tom Morello's Tele has such amazing stickers and art on it I should really do something inspired by him. Ken:D
NAD! Thank you for sharing the excitement Ken! I like Sweetwater, they are a great company. That is a gorgeous Laney! Where are you located Ken? I wish you were my neighbor! *HELMET covered a couple Black Sabbath songs in Drop D, they are SICK!
I live in a town called Bothell. Its about 20 minutes north of seattle that would be rad we could start a band, I'll have to check out Helmet I haven't heard them in ages. Stay cool. Ken:D

Thank you :D
Look at those dreadlocks! WOW! Did you put them in or just natural? My wife has massive dreads!
Thank you for your question Reznap. I had Dreads like 4 years ago thats when some of these videos were made. They were Natural. to explain 2 years ago I quit UA-cam because I was going to be a normie. So Last year I decided to start a new UA-cam channel with the best old videos and creating new content too. Its a little confusing but basically you get a healthy mix of old and new videos. Have a great rest of your day. Ken :D
Done man, happy birthday from the UK 😊
Thank you so much duder. Ken :D
Thank you Sir! Obviously we share a love of guitars and gear… and I won’t turn down a nice glass of Bourbon 🥃 either!

Hmm. I had tuning issues with the electric Ukulele i made, it took ages for the new strings to settle.
Also the mandolin tuning feels so tight that it will break. I think Guitar Players should stick to 6 strings LOL Ken :D
😂 you may be right.
Cool demo, thanks!
Thank you so much, I love doing them I'm glad you like viewing them. Ken :D
Nice guitar, is that a USA model ?
Sorry This is my best friends guitar and I don't know the answer. But we can open this up to any viewer watching this if you know if this Jackson is a USA model or and import please let us know. Ken:D
Horrible demo and sounds like shit.
Hey man great demo. I have an opportunity get one of these at a great price… but I’m wondering, would this be too loud for playing at home? Or can the master volume help with that?
Hey Lionel thank you so much for your question. The answer to your question depends on how much you love power tube distortion. For me the answer is That I can get perfect tones for me at bedroom levels. But if you are very experienced and you absolutely need to melt your power stage then a lower wattage amp may be better in that situation. One more thing comes to mind and that is with an attenuator you can do anything you desire with this amp. Hope this helps. Ken :D
Ever ran a modeller into fx return? Plenty headroom?
@@swardmusic unfortunately I have never used the effects loop. So I do not have the experience to answer your question correctly. Ken :D
I just picked up a DSL40 after trading in a bunch of gear that I wasn't using. My only real gripe is that the 4 channels don't have their own EQ's. In that regard, this amp really fits the bill. It might be too much amp for me though. I've seen it at $1999 at some of the online retailers, so it is considerably less expensive than its MESA competitors, and others. Money is tight for me too, so maybe one day. In the meantime, I am digging my first tube amp. Everytime I plug in, it's hard to believe the difference in sound.
My best friend had the DSL40 and he lent it too me for some time I really enjoyed that amp. It sounded bigger and fuller than my DSL 401. I agree shared eq can be a bummer but definitly not a deal breaker. Have a great week dude. Ken :D
@@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq $650 vs $1999. No complaints from me. I'm just having fun finding happy mediums in the volume/gain for all 4 channels so I can switch through them without touching anything. The overdrive pedal really helps in that regard in that I can ease back on the gain in the clean/crunch channel. Have a good one!
Do you use footswitch for reverb?
Sorry Crouching Tiger I got mine with a broken pedal used and I got rid of the pedal so I can't actually remember if it had reverb on the pedal. I will ask anyone reading this who knows the answer please let us know. Ken :D
Is that the original neck? Because I have a GIO like this and it does not have bindings
I believe it is the original neck. I bought it second hand so I can't say for sure but I think it is original. Ken:D
