I already own the GTX 100. I just wanted to listen to Dagan.
Instablaster.
I used to play guitar a lot more than I do now, but I’ve been wanting to get back into it. I’m a software engineer now, and seeing what we can do now with these digital amps really gives me some sense of pride for my field, and gets me excited about guitars again. Very cool
You didn't make it

@@UnremarkableMarx he didn't say he made it. Why go out of your way to be a dick

When I bought my first guitar and amp in 35 years I couldn't decide on what amp. I went for the GTX because I wanted to try them all, learn more about amp tones and effects before deciding on what tube amp to buy. The ability to experiment without breaking the bank is the biggest perk of the GTX. That said, as a relative beginner, the options are so plentiful you can overwhelm yourself if you don't initially settle on a handful of amp models and settings. After a few months I'm now all over the place, trying anything and everything. Now that I have a handle on what I like. At the moment I'm leaning towards an Orange tube amp and cabinet - but I'm in no hurry. The GTX is all I need for now.

A month with mine and I love it!
Bought this because I didn’t want to break the bank buying pedals. It’s really worth it from a price perspective.
Thank you Dagan for your fantastic videos. They are very informativ and help me greatly. It is a joy watching you with so much dedication, passion and expertise. Thank you very much.
Sold! Excellent demonstration.
Got this amp its awesome
Got one and I love it! The effects are endless and so are the amps! The fender amps are the best and it has the most iconic pedals all in the amp! I love it!
I've been thinking of getting one but I'm worried that it's too loud as many are saying
So i would like to know your experience with the amp :v
cleagy meen it’s great. I got the 100 as it came with the foot-switch, and the 50 watt amp doesnt and it would cost the same amount as the 100 if I bought the foot switch on top of the amp! The 100 is very loud and I only play it at 1/4 of the way! I recommend the amp it has tons of fx and good amp sims! I was all in for the 100 because of the footswitch and price! The 100 is loud and I play in my room. I would be better suited to the 50 watt but if you get the foot switch on top it costs the same as the 100!
Have you had any issues with the Tone app? I find it a bit wonky. I'll open a custom preset I created and find a dozen pedals attached that I didn't apply to the setting. The Bluetooth also disconnects from time to time.
@@badcomma yep. I find it bugs out every now and then.
Great demo. Now to own one😎
Sweet. I’m getting one!
hell yeah , so helpfull info !!!
Fender Has come along way with this amplifier, they know how to do modeling very well just look at the tone master series, great review of a solid tone machine amplifier
I had the previous version. It worked great. Too many old boomers were hating on it though. Still it was too loud. Needs a 0.5 watt option like the Katana
Why? You just turn the master volume down. It basically has a 0-100 attenuator.
@@cgripp256 It tried that and it doesn't work well. I played one in a 2000 seat venue, barely had the Master Volume a third of the way up, and people were saying it was too loud. One problem is the patches in the amp all come with various volume settings, so you go to one patch, have to turn the Master up to hear it, then go to another patch and break everyone's eardrums because you didn't turn the master down in time. I guess you could go on you phone and make every single patch the same volume, but who has the time to do all that?
@@shanewalton8888 Well I’m not sure what venue you play in or how cramped they pack it but I run my GTX at about 1/3 to 1/2 volume during practice with a full band in a 15x30 room. And that is usually perfect. I can’t imagine it being too loud for a venue that seats 2000 people.
As for volume balancing each patch, I mean that’s just a part of any modeling rig. It has to be done to address the difference in amp and fx gain and levels from one patch to another.
Functionally though the master does the job you commented on originally. The fact you can’t be bothered to set up your patches isn’t really a deficiency of the amp.
@@shanewalton8888 any player that uses a modeler has to do the same, no matter what it is.
The Katana requires an atenuator due to the power amp design, the volume effects the tone. On the GTX the volume does not effect the tone so no atenuator is required.
A GREAT DEMO. I'M SERIOUSLY THINKING OF UPGRADING FROM MY MUSTANG 1 V2 - 20 WATT, TO THE GTX50 - FOR HOME USE.
Great demo Dagan, I love your vids! If they made like a Stereo 2x12" 100watt Combo I'd get one!
I think they do
The GTX100
No 2x12 model
You've just sold me one. Good proper demo.
The preset sounds on this are not great, BUT when you edit the sounds it’s amazing! I’ve had quite a few tube amps but this is outstanding! I love it
Bought this amp a week ago to replace my LT50 and it is amazing!
In what way is it better?
@@tasmin6613thats it, good question.
She sells sanctuary is one of my all time favorites.
Looks, connectivity, outputs, fx, ergonomics, price and sound...Fender 😊
Its an awesome amp and I've been using it for a year now. The MOST annoying parts are the bluetooth connectivity and the controls being at the far back, very annoying. As an advice, I would go for the Spark Amp if I wanted something similar with more tech and cool features.
For someone who isn't a gear fetishist or lives and dies on the hill of the pure tube amp sound with $5,000 of boutique pedals, it's pretty much ideal. You can click between classic Sabbath, Huey Lewis & the News and Chic with minimal messing around. It's a rad amp for the casual player.
Yup mine arrives tomorrow with a new Squire 70's Vibe left handed Stratocaster HSS and I have never even touched a guitar before and expect to learn at nearly 60. wish me luck lol
Did you really just play Swan dive by sister hazel on the acoustic setting? 😂 I thought I was pretty much the only person who knew that song 🤣
Good job!
Where did you get that scarf??
I just ordered one today from Sweetwater!
Me too for my grandson
Still have it ?
How does it sound speaker wise? Im thinking of selling a bunch of gear and just having a gtx now, as i only play at home for fun and dont need so many pedals cluttering up the place..but im worried id go from my orange thru a 1x12 cab, to this and hate the speaker sound. Do you get the feeling of moving air like you do with a real tube amp rig?
I was torn between the Boss Katana 50 and the Fender Mustang gtx 50. After watching your video I made my decision I'm going to buy this amp.
How do you like it?
@@bobbyruggs808 I love the Gtx 50.
@@guillermofigueroa1695 they have a gently used one at the local shop for $250. Going to check it out.
@@bobbyruggs808 did you get it? thinking about replacing my Mustang 1 V1 with this as a bday gift for myself or something.
Jaysus... all right, Dagan... you sold the damm thing to me.
Ok, sold. No really, I’m going to buy one from you. Cheers.
Damn I just brought the GT40 ...
Anyways Always a pleasure watching Dagan
I have one since 2018, the current firmware is the same version as the GTX. Of course, the sound may be (only slightly) different due to different circuitry/boards, programming and physical specs, but you should get the same amount of effects/FX as the GTX.
I have to say the current firmware was a big sonic upgrade for GT series ever since backlash during first release of GT.
I have one as well. You made an awesome choice and you’ll love it!
I bought the LT50 25 Days ago.. Sent it back today.. The sound is a bit similar and the LT50 isn't bad.. For me however, it's important to be able to connect wirelessly
Moha Syd that for sure was the deciding factor for me...love wireless!
Bought
Send one of these amazing amps to Guitar Center in Jefferson, LA. and I'll try it. Meanwhile, stay clear.
Dagan 🎸🎸🎸☠️☠️☠️🤘🤘🤘 top of the pop.
Amen lord bless you guys!
welll
at least a Man had those Humbuckers of Wisdom installed at the bridge
always a great step towards the right direction
Great review! And what about live gigs and small venues with this amp (non-metal)? Anybody gig with it? How is it compared to real amp feel, response, dynamics??
I'm really happy with mine so far.
Thanks for the review. Can we plug a drum box (or beat box) on this amp in addition to the guitar?
Yes, the GTX has an FX loop on the back (send & receive). It is the last position in the signal chain, which is great. Because you can add your drum machine or/and your own looper. What ever you record, loop or drum-machine play does not get altered by changing sounds. This means you can keep looping/drumming clean while playing over with your guitar with whatever tone effects.
Dagan you could sell ice to eskimos. I love your reviews.
What's the best between the GTX50 and the Champion 50 XL ?
Great video, but there was no need to call me out on playing Pink Floyd, seeing as that was the first song I tried on this thing 😂😂
One question...
Is the master volume the master volume regardless preset. More like an attenuator.
can you review the Taylor Academy 12 acoustic guitar
I want that antique burst strat. I have a squier standard in that color but want the fender!
Looks and sounds awesome. Is there a setting for that early 70's David Bowie/Mick Ronson sound?
You could probably find it on Fender Tone or creat your own.
ZZ Bottom will be the name of my next drag show. As soon as I’ve grown the required length of facial hair.
Honest question: what if I have a effects pedalboard like Kemper or Headrush? How do I set up things so the effects in this amp won't mess up with the effects I've got lined up in my signal chain already?
I doubt it's a good combination. You can of course use a clean channel without any onboard effects and then try the pedalboard but it's not what this amp was designed for. But then again, who knows? It might sound great.
There is an amp setting in there that is just a clean tube preamp with no effects or coloration. You can do that and run your pedalboard into the front and then EQ it again with the GTX for final tweaks, or just punch it into the power amp throgh the effect return.
I like the GTX50.. but cautious on buying it. I hear users are having difficulty with Fender Tone 3.0 and Bluetooth. Is this correct?
Not that we've seen!
ZZ TOPS THE GREATEST LITTLE BAND FROM TEXAS
Guys I have a question, my son just got into metal music after a summer of concerts with Megadeth, 5FDP and Maiden. He saved up and bought one of these and is learning guitar. His buddy has a Boss 50, his buddy can power the watts down on his boss so they can practice in my garage not shake the walls down. My son says if he turns his Fender GTX50 down with the volume all the settings change and it sounds like crap. Is there a way to throttle this bad boy. Any advice, obviously, he saved up a long time for this thing and I'm hoping he got the right thing.
I’m no expert but I have the Boss Katana 100 mkii and the GTX50 and after watching loads of videos I think the adjustments are similar. He needs to play with the amp volume and master volumes. There are differing opinions so it’s adjusting to tonal desire. Some people say that the amp volume should be cranked and the master volume used to attain desired loudness. I don’t play with a band so I don’t really know. Good luck. The amp is excellent. It is no better or worse than the Katana. They are excellent, just different.
from what i've seen it's a lot more functional using the app on a phone or tablet.
I own the gtx50 and I only ever touch the amp to turn it on hyphen use the iPad cuz it is way faster and easier
@@tradesmanbear9738 same I only use the amp for volume
Marshall code or gtx?
Is it just sitting on the the Orange Cab ?? There is no Cab out.
I only have one critique /suggestion. Fender should have put a larger display about the size of a iPad mini so you can view and edit everything without linking to a smart phone.
Will be added on the GTX+ 🙂
Dagan you are as mad as a hatter. I came here to find out about the GTX and well there you go.
Should I get this or the fender champion?
Gtx is more versatile and sounds better
I am so on the fence with this amp. I have a Champion 20, but it plug into my laptop more than I use the amp. Do I get this or a Player Strat? (Yes I’m aware that there is a $300 price difference)
Get a good guitar used usa made strat guitar instead of player series
Lucky Haqeem when I was looking to buy an American Performer Tele (which I did buy) everyone told me to consider a Mexican built one. Now that I’m looking for a Mexican Strat everyone is telling me to buy American
Allison Holmes coz they probbly but the player strat believe me i once tried play them but it felt wrong even used japan craft one are better
It’s the big brother of the mustang lt50
I sent back my LT when I found out the GTX existed 😂
ZZ Top
Still prefer the katana but this one’s awesome too
Aiden Jones fair point
Yes same i didnt hve computer also and using the phone is a breeze
From most demos I've seen of the home use modelling amps the Katana seems to have the best high gain distortion sounds. However, I think this strength is offset by the real lack of simple usability. Aside from no screen and as impressive as Boss tone studio is, not everyone wants to get out their laptop at the same time. And for the Katana there is not an official phone app that is a neater alternative to firing up a laptop.
Hmmmm..what band inspired the ZZBottom setting?.*looking up at the sky with a questioning puzzled one-eye closed look*.hmmmmm..yup I got nothing.
@@connorcampbell144 yes thats it🤣
Well obviously ZZ Middle
I just bought this. Lovely amp, lots of possibilities. I don't agree about the presets though. I think most of them are quite horrible.
I’d agree, most of the really cool presets I’ve found was from the app
"Walkman!" Fantastic.
Also, can you talk a little faster? I think I caught you breathing once or twice.
Can the names be edited? I prefer to call mine by the amp name, not songs.
ZZ Bottom, LOL. Is there a preset for B.B. Queen? Plaid Paisley? Dire Circles? Trolling Stones? OK, I'll stop...
please... keep going
Irish anthems? Sod the Edge I wanted Thin Lizzy :)
Does it have different Cabs ?
Yes.. a large selection
So good it makes me want to eat my own face.
I've been trying to avoid buying this amp because I really don't need another amp. I shouldn't have watched this . . .
This is a sales class..(I have One also) He's amazing salesman
Alohas
Can you play UA-cam on your iPhone through the amp
So you can play along to backing tracks
Yes
The pain of You-tube backing tracks are the freekin commercials you have to weight on for the "skip" box......aarrrrgg !
@@dex7368 thanks
User YT via Brave Browser and ads are gone ;-)
My GTX 100 amp has a lot of string noise.
I'm selling my almost new 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb all tube amp for the GTX-50 . ✨🎸🇺🇸✨☮️🏄♂️
Low volume? Like in an apartment to not disturb neighbors and get fined?
Almost all solid states work great in low volumes besides this has a headphone jack
There's like 4 different volume changes i love it
Why should I buy this as opposed to the Positive Grid Spark?
ill say for the speaker swap if one day u wanna experiment
The spark is shit. Not only do all of the distorted tones sound muddy and like they're all dead inside but most of the other functions like the play along tab thing is never right, the drummer AI is always off and PGs customer service is the worst in the industry
I bought a spark and can tell you that it sounds awful to me except for a few amp models. Most of them sound like a wet blanket is laying over the speakers. I hate it because I wanted it to be good, but just wasn’t happening. I am looking at this Fender now and hopeful it would be much better. The search goes on.
@@MayfieldCreekObservatory I ended up selling mine and getting a Line 6 Pod Go which is far superior
@@captaco22 that is another one I have been looking at. I have a powered headrush speaker and guess that would work with the PodGo.
I think fender was holding back on the quality of the sounds cause if they made them too alike they'd be out of buissness
One of these or save for real tube amp.
I'm curious, what did you get??
@@jordanpratt3821 tube amp.
I'm guess ZZ BOTTOM is Icelandic sensation BJORK...🤔
you have other guitars behind you why dont you use them
Why? He's demoing the amp silly bollocks
I’m selling off some gear for this amp. I will follow up this comment when I get it :)
I got it :), very happy
@@blackfire1638 can you Bluetooth from the amp into a pair of headphones or is the Bluetooth only to send info or music into the amp...?
@@moonlight5050 I’m afraid I’m not sure but if you’ve got a pair of 3.5mm wired headphones then they will work
Sounds like I need to take a collage degree to use this amp
The amp sounds so thin and scratchy. I have the 50w and liked it when I first got it because I hadn't played a guitar in 10 years. At first, I loved the sound but after months of practicing and listening to pros and their amps, I've regained my ability to discern between digital and tube sounds. And I can totally hear the difference now and that bothers me. I wonder if I could run the amp through a tube amplifier to gain more warmth because the presets are truly awesome.
1. Try and get the "real stuff" actual amp and pedals of your favorite preset.
2. Headphone out to Tube Amp in, set tube controls straight-up 12 o'clock for flat sound RABBIT hole - tweaking this foundation to get your sound, headphone out may be too hot, presets already have a "cabinet model" built-in.
On my Zoom50G I can turn off cab sim, GTX50s may have similar feature ???...good luck 👍
@@omorganstudios Yup, you can turn off cabs on the GTX
I like Spark better.
I want to pay someone to duplicate some tones I'm after. I have a few tunes I'm trying to nail.
im gonna go out on a limb here and say the zz-bottom sound has the tone of the band...
Led Zeppelin
edit: *where are my 10 points, dagan?*
are you stupid? it’s after ozzy ozbourne 🙄
Firstt
Until Fender makes one that can stay connected to Bluetooth, don't buy it. Sorry. A little pissed I've brought 3 home and all had the same issue.
Not Good at all. Purchased it and tried about 1 week. Absolutely buggy bluetooth. Just does not work. When you switch betwenn the sounds or try to run through the backstage it just hang up until switched on/off. Last drop for me was guitar disconection caused by bluetooth. Sent back to the Seller. Just computer toy. Purchased boss then. Satisfied. Not such flexible bluetooth but works. Can not advise GTX50 just due to the bluetooth issues. Sound is good. Ideas inside of the software are good too. But it simply does not work well for me. And it looks like fender can not or just does not like to fix bluetooth issues.
Zz Bottom lol
the question is, WHY THEY SMELL SO BAD :/ they really need to change the material they are made of. I've got mustang 1 v2 and and it is so bad. Every time before start playing I need to open the window... not cool.
The GTX doesn't smell a bit.....🤷🏻♂️
lol
It sounds cold and lifeless
geeezz dont hear any warmth or even close to tube like
So don't be a penny pincher, spend the extra $1500 and get you some tubes. A tube amp at this price will sound like a pocket transistor radio from the early 60s.
Sounds artificial.
I don't like it. Maybe it's my phone speaker.
The best tube amp would not sound any better through you phone speaker 🤫
