    Well, I just have to say, that I really like how you balanced the volume between amp and speech. So many videos, just don't and I find myself adjusting volume all the time. Well done, production wise. Thanks for video, too - I've been thinking about one of these lately.

    I've had the combo version for the last 2-3 years. Killer little amp, great pedal platform, for very little money. Stock speaker in the combo is a bit anaemic, but that was an easy swap. You're right, the loop is between the Tubescreamer and the amp... I don't think I've ever turned the boost off on mine! Wish it came with the footswitch though.

      Martin Cliffe you can make a foot switch pretty easily or buy ones from people on reverb.com. (Analog Endeavors is a brand I would recommend highly from Reverb.)

      @@carolinehaf21 I sold mine a few months ago, but I think I mostly had a G12H30 in it. For a while when I was carrying it around a lot I had a Neo Creamback in there. Both sounded great, but I wonder what it’d sound like with an A-Type (or even an Eminence Wheelhouse)

      Hi Martin. I've just bought one of these amp heads and I'm unsure how the effect loop works and where the Ts808 sits?
      I have a pedalboard with distortion modulation reverb etc and I'm thinking if i run it through the front of the amp that the inbuilt Ts808 will be sitting at the end of my pedal chain? I'm not sure.
      So should i run my entire board through the effects loop instead? And plug only my guitar through the front of the amp?
      I dont know why ibanez has designed it this way 🤷
      I appreciate any advice. Thanks

      @@tepouogle969 Hey, thanks for asking. Yes, it's a weird one - the FX loop sits after the Tubescreamer circuit, but before the amp preamp. So you could basically treat the Tubescreamer like a pedal, and place anything you want before the Tubescreamer (fuzz, wah, etc) before the input, then everything you want after the Tubescreamer in the FX loop, using 4 cable method. To be honest, I used the Tubescreamer circuit with very low gain most of the time, so I put everything before it, but either works. I no longer have the amp, but only because I could only afford to ship 6 when I moved to Europe!

    I picked a TSA15H used recently for great price. It is definitely made for pedals.
    I had never heard of it when I tried it, but I really liked the cleans, and bought it on the spot.
    I researched it later, and oddly (or perhaps not) it seems to get more love from jazz guys (for its pristine cleans) than from your average TS fan.
    Enjoyed the video! Thanks for posting it!

    Surprisingly cool. Been thinking about adding a cheap always-on clean amp to run parallel to a dirty amp, but was mostly considering solid state. Although maybe this (wet) paired with an old solid state (dry) could make a good setup.

    I saw one local for the cost of a pedal so what the hell. Did not expect much but wanted to experiment with running in stereo with a Marshall class 5. Worked really well as the Class 5 "with a att" has a brown, break up sag and the Ibanez I keep clean but also is smooth. Together in stereo I use that setup that runs to at least 30 pedals via a loop. Great bang for the buck.

    Thanks for doing this! I got the combo half price years ago due to mark on the tolex and haven't been able to really use it much at due to illness. Buying a couple different electrics now (Gretsch semi hollow with p90s and epiphone LP) and kinda regretted the amp choice since they're not around anymore I figured they were duds and there's so many choices with modelling amps now but nice to see a good demo of it and what it does well. I got the footswitch with it too.

    Is it a TS9 or 808 circuit on the amp?
    (I only ask because I have screamer on my board for my other amp and I'm wondering if I'd have both versions for versatility if I got this amp, although I do like how the clean channel sounds anyway).

      How does the 30 handle stacking drives? I use multiple overdrive combos for certain sounds (one being two OD’s with the second one being a volume booster for solos) and was wondering if it can handle multiple drives without becoming super gainy

      Jonathon Warnberg ive been running mine through a 4x12 since I got it and the thing can really crank. There's no doubt that it would be loud enough but if you use it with a band you might want to get some pedals because it is quite lacking in the effects department

It's a cathode amp which means it doesn't require you to bias the tubes that's why it's not loud and it so muddy . I get to try out all the new equipment and gear from guitars , amps and stomp

    A "realization" is defined as _the act of becoming fully aware of something as a fact_. An epiphany is defined as _a moment of sudden revelation or insight_. In both cases that requires that the person experiencing that has the cerebral capacity to do so, which in your case this is obviously NOT true. Btw a 10' video for something that needs about 3 minutes to do. No surprise since you talk and talk and talk instead of playing. Yet another thumbs down ...moving on!
