Rabea is very good at demonstrating equipment because he can play the same riff consistently for an adequate comparison between settings. (It’s called skill.) He’s a very good player.
..."with Bosch products"... 5:05
Totally agree. I own one of their washing machines and it is MAGNIFIQUE ✅
Brilliant 😂😂
Nitronium where ya been all these years? Great to see you here!
Kaomao from the Sneap forum! 😎
@@chaosandorderstudio Oh mate Komao! You legend ✅
I mainly spend me free time trolling UA-cam these days. How are ya?!
@@Nitroniumnot bad man! yeah you're always doing the right thing! Trolling at its best 🤓
Nitronium Blood I have one of their irons it’s hot 😂😂😂
Nextone head would be great.
Thanks for the SM57. So many demos occur with specialty mics, so very difficult to gauge the audio, comparatively. Nice work.
FYI, the Sennheiser e906 is broadly similar.
aaand, I can't wait for the in depth review!
It is Basically a Blues Cube Artist Meets a Katana Artist & they have a Baby = A Boss Nextone
"almost" also at tube amp prices , not worth it .
Sixfoursoul sure it is
That 'Shallow' riff though!
neilomac I know! I heard that and I thought, “Oh, shit, is that Porcupine Tree?”
That put a big smile on my face.
Seeing Steven Wilson this Sat😀
James Marciniec you are a lucky man, sir. What I would give to see Steven Wilson live at least once.
@@collinputney2018 I live in NJ. and been going to his shows these past two tours. I never did get to see him with Porcupine Tree. I became aware of his music when Fear of a Blank Planet came out but
didn't get a chance to see him live until the Hand Cannot Erase Tour.
I never miss a show now.😃
It’s amazing how far you are going! 200k subscribes, I remember when you had 30k when I subscribed.
So good to see that you are finally having what you deserve!🎸
When your trainers match your guitar - You have reached enlightenment.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Nasir Nehemiah instablaster ;)
Sounds fantastic
How is any other company going to compete?...Boss keeps churning out great amps at great prices. It's not even a question anymore whether they sound good... and guitar players usually mean "tube good" when they say "good". Great work Boss!
@Bryan Charles
I'm a big fan. Its on my list too!
@Malcolm Reynolds
$600.00?
I hadnt checked price on these yet. Yea youre right. For that much cash youre getting into tube range and value is a bigger concern.
Id have to think twice about buying one for $600.00.
@Malcolm Reynolds
Dude man, Ive been playing 30 years. lol
I know all about the Katana...which is why I assumed this amp was lower priced.
I'm not in the market for anything except a nice Alder Strat body, so I can do a Strat build.
I have a 50 watt tube head that does just fine, but thanks anyway.
@Malcolm Reynolds
Ahh, a kindred spirit in the chaotic world of guitars! ...warms the old heart!
@@granthutchins2016
You're right!
...and the winner is...
Us! : )
I have the same amp and love it
Rabea is very good at demonstrating things because he can play the same riff consistently for an adequate comparison between settings. He’s a very good player.
Demoers should just use loopers for comparison.
What is a "demoer?"
@@ZRJZZZZZ Sorry. I meant a person that demonstrates gear.
A great idea - have the looper A/B the musical passages
This is the second best analog amp out right now and it's really good to the point I would own it def thank God the companies are finally figuring out how to get the tube tone without tubes because now you get an amp that sound like one but still has a different tone to it in a different but still good way like the nextone sounds so good with rock and gain tones
What's the first?
David Carson maybe the fender Tonemaster series?
@@agusg.t.8950 mate the tonemaster deluxe reverb is pure class. I've owned and played a lot of fender amps and others and it blows every single solid state amp out the water. But I prefer the nextone because of the mix of tones.
Who makes a statement like that but doesn't reply. I'm positive the OP is referring to the Orange Crush pro series, 4 gain stages, absolutely emulates a Rockerverb tube amp.
Also great work with the adidas matching the guitar.
Great review! Gotta say, I Love your guitar faces! It actually really gets across what you're feeling-when you play something and it's just so.....you know, and you look up and make eye contact with a band mate and you make that face and give a little head nod. Never realized it, but I look for that a lot. You can tell when the person demoing something is into it by their reaction while they play. You give good face, sir.
Your playing is right on the money pal!
You dont know what your talking about,tha Boss Nextone Special is an AWESOME AMP,
Just swapping power amp valves actually makes a much more subtle difference than many people think. The design of the output section contributes to the sound a lot more than what valves are used. Boss (and other companies) are perpetuating this misunderstanding and not making it clear/putting emphasis on the fact that you are switching to a well established example of an output section which happens to use a particular type of valve: 6L6 (Large Fender amps)/6V6 (Small Fender amps)/EL84 (Vox amps)/EL34 (Marshall amps) etc.
Thanks for the demo. I think this will be one of Roland/Boss' best selling amps. I really like my Blues Cube Artist, but this is kind of like having all the tone capsules already in the amp and access to the editor that made them. Also, on board delay/trem, reverb and boost/compression means that one could do some gigs without any pedals.
Somebody should make a detailed comparison of the Blues Cube and this one.
This is what I thought as soon as I heard the amp. The first review I heard it sounded like my Blues Cube Stage, and then I saw the switch for the different output sections and felt like I’ll be selling my Blues Cube for one of these next year.
@@Branden_Wittedid you get it?
Lord 'Fro approves. I must buy one...
Perhaps after the comparison with the Katana the 'Fro made me buy not so long ago!
Did you ask The Lord for help with a Musicman's name?
incredible playing as usual! great sounding amp
this is going to be really interesting to see how successful this amp will be because the katana has done so well. will people in there masses buy this amp either instead of a katana or as there first [ real ] gigging amp. i think [ and i have been wrong more than right ] people will either buy a katana or get there first tube amp.i guess we will see.
Got to try one out soon,
I am a Roland Blues Cube Hot owner and love it.
It seems this new amp is a mix of the Katana and Blues Cube.
It has an effects loop which my Blues Cube doesn't have unless if you buy the more expensive Artist and Stage models. The Fender tones sound amazing on this amp just like the Blues Cube but have to test the Vox and Marshall tones before I buy this. Love the Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), sound Example you played 👍Seeing him next Saturday.
Great Demo.🎸😎
James Marciniec , if they ever make a Blues Cube Hot-sized Nextone (or a Blues Cube Hot with higher clean headroom), I might jump on that.
@@HomoChomsky , they do have a Nextone 40 watt. That's the same exact price as the Blues Cube Hot. 😃 there are two models for the Nextone.
That is true, but the 40 watt is more similar in portability to the Blues Cube Stage. I often play in improvised venues (apartment shows for example) where playing direct in is not an option and I need to carry a lighter amp than my BC Artist. Currently, my old Supercube 40 is close enough in sound on a smaller scale to do the trick, but the wider tonal options of a Hot-sized Nextone is a very appealing concept to me.
I'm looking forward to an in-depth look at the editor, because while very impressive for the price, the stock sounds don't impress me quite as much as the Blues Cubes.
The Bluescube stage doesn’t have an effects loop... well mine doesn’t seem to have one. I think it’s just the Artist and the Tour 100w head that have the effects loop
So this is what the boss hq visit was about. Boss are really pushing this.
Porcupine Tree riffs!!!
I'm gonna subscribe to this guy's channel. The way he plays shows me a lot of what this Nextone can do. Now if I could only play like that!
Wicked sound!
Great riffs, I would love to have his fingers and taste of vibrato. Super cool
Allright, when you said "wich is why I have a metalzone" I started laughing wich I quickly regretted when I herad the tone.
Impressive amp all around.
That isn't an Axis Super Sport. I believe that is actually an original EBMM EVH sig model. The placement of the pickup selector is a give away. Modern day Axis have the selector down beside the volume knob. Also, I believe the "super sports" are the versions without locking trems/nuts.
Amazing dynamic - you get that only with analogue circuits I guess. Japanese audio engineering still rules :-)
Amazing
That blue grey looks badass on you, Bea!
We just got sidewinded by a metal zone right at the end lol
You can't just metalzone someone. That's plain rude.
@@spoonerluv He did hint at it in the beginning. MT2 waza.....
I've been wondering about something. I have a Roland Blues Cube Artist, which sells new for $950, in the States. The Boss Nextone Artist is $700. They both use Tube Logic, the Roland can use Tone Capsules, and the Nextone does the different power amp sims. All other features are pretty much the same, except for the speakers. So, why the $250 price difference? I'm curious what your opinion is. I haven't been able to try a Nextone yet, even though there is one at a nearby Guitar Center. So, what's your take on my question? Cheers mate. :)
Seems like a Blackstar ID series with the TVP option to switch power tubes tones.
Did I hear some Porcupine Tree Riffs in this video? That's sick Rabea!
That guitar sounds like it was made for that amp
amazing
EVH Signature. Looks like a purple that faded (as they did).
Upvote for Porcupine Tree at 07:00. Also, jebus, that thing just sounds like a tube amp, at least mic'd up. It really, really does.
I've seen a couple of reviews of this amp. So far, i think it sounds really good, wouldn't buy it over a 15w tube though. Tone and poweramps seem to not change much, rather underwhelming tbh
There's a big "feel" thing that you can't really get across in video. Has to be heard and felt to be believed. There are subtle tone shifts but it's also changing the way the speaker responds and how dynamic each one is. Worth trying one if you can. Hope that helps :)
@@Knightsie Yep, youtube and the mic both compress the signal, and dynamics are lost a bit. I guess i should hear one irl to really know
@@ivanbrasla Not saying anyone should buy this over a tube amp. But it really is good there is a difference with the power outputs and the "tone' (boost) switch and EQ. It is very dynamic surprisingly so and takes pedals well.
Matt Knight Honestly Matt if you produced the sweetest sounding amp in the World someone would always say tubes sound better. Things change. The Blues Cube sounded better than any Fender tube amp I had and was consistently great sounding. What a choice now with these, the Blues Cubes and the Katanas. They won’t break your back or your bank balance. Can’t understand why anyone would not want to try these when looking for a new amp. I have a friend who gigs regularly doing old style rock and roll stuff and he says he’s never sounded better.....bought two Blues Cube Artists......
Andrew Butcher I highly recommend the new Blackstar HT 5 Mark 2 combo. 500 bucks for a great smal light valve amp. 4 different voices
Finally a decent review!
I would love to see a comparison between the 40 watt nextone and the 50 watt katana!
Killer Rabea!!
I really wish boss makes a dedicated Metal amp with good cleans and more natural sound
I would rather have heard the JC120s. I kept on skipping forward, until the end, to see if there was a shootout! Lol.
Would have loved to have seen that Navigator in more detail at 2:03
7:32 ... a serious threat to Line6 Spider II amps, I think this amp
as shown here can out ice pick any Spider amp out there....
Picks up a random EB Music Man that he doesn't even know the model of but naturally gravitated to .... foreshadowing! Congrats on the Signature Saber!
Nice sounding amp. But needs a bit more gain. Just a little smidgen.
Okay Rabea... if you had to go out shoping...what would it be? The Nextone or the Katana Artist?
When the volume of your hair matches the volume of the amp
Rabea, I’m not a high gain guy. I have a guitar collection that is second to none. I don’t play live anymore, and money is no object. I like to play in stereo. I have a Dr. Z Zlux and I’m looking for a second amp. Any suggestions?
So essentialy what the DT Series from Line6 did a couple of years ago.
Has there ever been a follow up video?
My big question is "How heavy is it"?
With all those power stages it sounds heavy... real heavy! :)
another great amp... who needs tubes
Hi Rabea How can I check I have the latest Boss Nextone Version 2
Also how many of the boss pre-sets can be saved to the amp via the V6 6l6 EL84 and EL34 sets in both clean and drive?
John
i think that piezo is actually acoustic guitar sound simulation
"Done, done and I'm onto the....
YESTERDAY at sam ash I put I but this amp next to the KTN -100 KTN-50 and a Blues JR. The Nextone 40 sounded great more tube like than the Katanas ( on the clean channel) but less usable features and the gain was like the same gain on every setting. And I can eve see having to do a speaker upgrade eventually.. The nextone does look great ! Love the cream knobs ETC.. however once I A/B against the Blues JR it was so embarrassing the blues JR buried the poor thing and get this it weighed almost the same! . So why would I buy a solid state amp that is trying to emulate a tube amp with digital reverb and basic delay, for 550 when I can just get a Blues JR 4 for 599 .? .. thats how I see it anyway .. The nextone should be priced at 449 bucks. because If I have to break that 500 Barrier Im going tubes all fucking day.
what boss should do is upgrade the KTN -50 with an effects loop and line out Ill pay more for that! I love Boss but I think they missed the mark on the pricing for the Nextone especially after they made the 50's and 100's so dam affordable and usable. So I think who ever buys the nextone just will have to like everything about this amp, I think Boss is onto something and I love the direction they are going , like who would have though years ago that Boss would be almost dominating the amp market ..hahah! They need to market this amp to a SPECIFIC NEED to be successful with it because most people will see the the other Katanas sitting next to it and be like " shit you mean I can save 200- 300 dollar and get 50-100 watts with more effect and use tone central ? .. hahaha! So Im passing like Tom Brady on this one..
Oh crap im early....

Another awesome amp from Boss!! The valve is dead!! Personally I prefer the Katana's due to the onboard effects and channels. I'm hoping for a Katana tonestudio update that gives it the power amp tube types the Nextone has!!! It'd be nice to head how those JC120's compare. I had one back in the 80s and loved it...
Joe Bloggs tubed are not dead. They’re here to stay and they sound great.
Joe Robins Nah, tubes are definitely dead.
@Malcolm Reynolds Hi Malcolm, you could be right... lol. But every time I jam with a "tube snob" my Katana 100 blows his modded heavy n expensive valve box of the stage...so they go and buy a Katana... lol 😵
Malcolm Reynolds what tube snobs? I had a solid state amp most of my life. As I got better and saved up I got my first tube amp. It sounds better, feels better and takes dirt pedals or fuzz pedals better. I don’t use a lot of FX. It’s just the truth. The only modeler that sounds and feels good is the Yamaha 100 hd. Not all of us are rich , spoiled gear snobs. Stop generalizing. Jealousy looks bad on you.
Why do so many amps have the controls and inputs on the top, instead on the face of the amp?
Just wish on reviews that it was just the guitar straight into amp. I’m not going to buy it with the pedals, I just want to see what sounds I can get from the amp
This amp gave Bea the Stankface quite a few times. If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is!
Where´s my Katana Nextone Artist 100 Head with Waza Cab?
You should do a comparison between the Nextone and the Katana
Boss NextOne :-)))
Hi rabea talking boss could you please do an in-depth review on the js10 please as it’s a great tool if only you could work out how half of it actually works I’ve tried contacting boss but all you get is it’s in the manual which is fine if your an I. T. Tech or you write it .thanks .G
Is that the guitar Jerry Cantrell got from EVH? :D
That Axis getting picked up didn’t have anything to do with your shoes, did it? ;)
Without a comparison hard to tell anything
porcupine tree... you keep surprising me :)
Great review. Are you and The Chappers brothers?
Hahaha nope
You can tell it's not a tube amp... it's not bad but it just doesn't sound right to me
IME nothing beats a good tube amp in a studio environment...Nowadays emulations and SS amps are close enough to the real thing...so you can tour with them without sacrificing all the tone and keep the expensive and heavy gear at home.
My band opened for a internacional band last month and they used Kempers profilers.. nobody in the audience cared about the tone...
@@esposoman For sure, there are lots of practical uses and I doubt anyone could tell the difference in a live situation. It's just when they're isolated like this that there's a noticable difference
Not saying you’re wrong, you might just have better ears than me. But go watch the andertons video on this cos it’s blind and you’ll loose any subconscious biased. I found myself preferring the nextone on most
@@benjones4077 I did and I am confused... and on second listen this demo sounds better than it did on the first listen
...Was waiting to hear a tube amp, didn't hear that at all.
Boss take on the Blackstar TVP kinda deal? Interesting
I think this amp can do exactly what blackstar tvp line can't do, which is blues/crunch tones. Everything else is superior on the blackstar imo, even the tvp.
Yep that's the comparison I want to see.
Similar idea - but the Blackstar is modelling those digitally. The Nextone is Analogue. There's a big "feel" thing with the nextone that's hard to get across unless you try it. Hope that helps.
@@Knightsie Pretty sure the drive isn't 100% analogue. The reason I think this is because some of the stuff that can be tweaked in the editor to alter the tone. I suspect it's a blend of analogue circuitry and digital modelling.
I know a lot of people have also been confused about the Katana and the Blues Cube. Roland/Boss seem to like to confuse people. Everyone needs a hobby I guess.
@@Knightsie
Have you tried both back to back?
🤔
I know the Blackstar tvp series were let down by the budget blackbird speakers (as this series was designed around a strict budget).
So if boss have done they're homework hopefully they haven't skimped on the speaker / speakers.
Does it John Mayer?
Reminds me of Line 6 DT series..
MyRealName that’s a better amp in my opinion. Bogner helped make it. I still have it and it never breaks down. Just probably jinxed myself. It has tuned in the preamp I believe. I’ve been using it lately to power the Helix. But it’s a good amp. 4 options and choice of A/B, pentode, triode, 50 watts to10.
People are also forgetting the first company and the best sounding solid state valve imulated amp the yamaha thr 100 hd and that amp was great but failed because of its high price also ....
I currently have the thr 10x which sounds better than any tube I've had and played on and it's on board effects are outstanding.
Gerald Elsbree I have that amp. And it’s great. The price did push people away. Too bad because it sounds great. But the price of the thr series was way too much at $300 as well. And not as good in my opinion. Plus, the Yamaha 100hd has a bunch of options as well with what tube sound to use sounds just as this one and much more. Also, double amps going at once is awesome.
Joe Robins sorry Joe I have a thr x also the $300 one but they made a 100 watt one for $900 and the cab was 6-7 hundred way to much for a solid state amp but sounded fantastic and reacted like a valve amp and had 2 channels and 6 or eight different versions of valve emulation
Gerald Elsbree yes that’s the one I have. I believe it didn’t sell for the very reason we both stated. Too much money yet the thr series isn’t that great at $300. Sold the thrc mint used for $100. Although, I sold it in a store where I’m sure after I left they tripled the price. I then bought the double head. Where I am it was I think $800. I probably got a discount I don’t remember. I wouldn’t buy the cabinet. Already have one. But I swear it sounds better than a Helix a kemper and my thrx which I now use just for its speakers. I know some guys on utube make it sound great. But in person it’s just ok. The 100hd perfect. Just lower the price. And any kemper n Helix lovers I have them and in my opinion they do not sound as good as that particular Yamaha.
One of these or a Katana ? ?
Just listen to 10 videos on the Katana and the 10 available for this. You will then see the Katana is junk tone.
Moral of the story: trust your ears.
love ME SOME porcupine tree.
Seems to me that the Blackstar ID:260TVP True Valve Power 60w 2x12 (stereo) does it much better for a lower price! Boss is 5 years late!
lo it is your channel
At first glance I thought this is the next microsoft console
Some Porcupine Tree in there....nice.
Hi, is the effects loop before or after the power-amp section? Thanks in advance
Dunno, with the kat you can choose where to place the send return in the chain.. this must be the same.
Almost all the videos on this amp sound harsh on the top end. I tried one in a local store and was not impressed. The harsh tone can be tamed by the controls and through computer editing, but I prefer my old Roland 80L and the Blues cube artist.
Very nice looking and sounding amp... Hmm, may have to look into one of these.
Can I ask, what are you using to control the channels and effects? Can you use the GA-FC controller or is it just an FS-6 or something? And is there a different between the 40w and 80w when it comes to those controller inputs?
I was using the footswitch that comes with it. I believe it’s just the same as the GA-FC anyway. I don’t think there’s a difference between the 40/80 versions either
@@RabeaMassaad Thanks Rabea, definitely the sort of setup I need.
Also, watching this back when the other guy is playing you can see the FS... 'DOH'!
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THE HELL THE 80W COSTS 170 EUR MORE THAN THE 40W VERSION WHILE THE WATTAGE IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE? It's like 1.5 times more!
Must be more expensive components needed in the poweramp section to handle the higher wattage. Plus, it's a bigger unit, so more materials required.
@@mark7166 but it's a solid state, not a tube amp, it's not really hard or material expensive to get more watts out of a SS circuit.
@@vivusbrydyr4039 True enough.... I couldn't really say, haha!
That is not an Axis Super Sport. That is just an Axis.
Bea can sell stanky diapers
Interesting...the first time I'm not excited by a vid review featuring 'Bea. Maybe there wasn't anything exciting to review. Oh well...
awesome until the Metal Zone. Not feeling it and i'm not a metal zone hater. But another high gain pedal (Revv's pedal or Suhr Riot) would kill i'm sure. Digging this amp overall tho
Yeah something with a little bit darker voicing..
You can get good sounds from Metal Zone, it was so much ahead of time that people were not used to it and setting it up is a bit more difficult. I've used it for 25 years but not the way Rabea's was set up, it sounded plain ugly but hey that's metal.
@@mksnz Yeah I've been catching the recent vids running the Metal Zone through the FX return of the loop. Definitely sounds better than I ever heard it sound before.
Maybe you just have to be in the room, but on my laptop this doesn't sound any better than the Katana.
Nextone sounds like the old line 6 flextone, with this amp been there done that from to many amp makers. To me best amp is the katana artist hands down
