It is interesting to watch this now knowing that the amp didn't sell. I have two of these beasts, they are the best amp Fender ever made. Great for Blues all the way to bang your head.
it's a shame Fender discontinued this model. It sounds good to me. It has that bright spunk a modern american high-gain has, but retains the articulation needed to hear each notes.
I hear this too. Surprising. The SuperSonic heavy sound is way too compressed. This "breathes" and has an articulate sound that doesn't sound exactly like every other metal amp.
probably one the amp i tried i liked the most, with all the guitars in the shop around my place. loved it buit WAYYYYY to expensive and powerful for me at the time :/
I had never heard of the Machete. I would buy it over any Boogie double or triple rectum fryer any day..Great job Fender!!!
Bought 2 new a few yrs back. Gave one to my lifelong friend and he loves it. The one I still have is for sale only at the right price. Mine's still test drove lightly but never played. Beautiful Amp.
I'd hold onto one of these if I had one. Will be a collectors item one day, imo.
+Northaleus Velanthor if you had 30 yrs maybe,otherwise dump it.its a turd bucket.
They sell for like 5k now, so good call
I’m glad I bought this before reading how many people bashed it on the internet. I gotta admit though for a good while I was questioning my taste in gear after reading the internet’s thoughts on it and how they were very different from my opinion.
Lots of old bands got great sounds from those old Peaveys. They deserve more respect than they get from the majority of people
I must say from what originally heard about this amp I was skeptical at best. Now hearing it and all that it can do I am REALLY impressed. I thought a first this would be a drawn out long video but it made all the sense in the world because you showed so much. GREAT JOB.
Captain, you are a HELL of a player. Thanks for all the time you put into these videos for us guitar players, other musicians to have a great way of the preliminary "check it out" thing.
Such a versatile pro-level amp. A cryin shame FENDER doesn't keep it in the stall as a limited run each year. This doesn't sell but the 100-watt SuperSonic does?! Really?
Guess Egnater must be kicking their boot-tays.
i remember being a student i hanged up in a guitar store, the guys were nice, talking guitar and cars and life. one day came a machete, i think to tthis day still the best amp they made me try.
wish i could find one today
Captain also did an excellent demo job with the tonal nuances in his playing
What they should've done is slap the Jackson or Charvel brand on there and released it as a game changing amp. With the Fender brand, it's unfortunately likely to slip into obscurity.
Sounds amazing, very cool vintagy tones, and of course the distorted.
I'll only buy one if Danny Trejo autographs it!
Chappers, I was enraptured by your playing in this video. Captain did a great job mediating between a player's appetite and a salesman's pitch as always, but I think you especially did a great job demoing it!
I think this is your best video since the Squier Classic Vibe you did last year. I mean, i love all your videos but this one is amazing! Thanks!
You guys are seriously de BEST on youtube ! you always have the best demo , you're are extremely funny and super talented !
The strat with this amp is killer! love it, great demo guys :) ROCK ON
that's a great metallicasound indeed :) that one is mine very soon !!! what a fenomenal amp
I play on a Machete for almost 4 years now and I can tell you it's a very pleasant, powerful and polyvalent amp. What they don't really show in the vid is that it comes with a footswitch that controls channel 1 or 2, the boost on channel 1, the effects loop (if any) and the amp digital reverb. Channel 1 has a great clean definition, although it is not a 100% typical Fender clean sound; channel 2 can clearly be compared to any hi gain channel that equips most of the usual hard rock / metal amp brands. Plus the notch and the damping are very effective. Really an extremely goog amp that, as said in the vid, is not very successful due to Fender's reputation of "clean amps manufacturer": well, that's a pitty!
is it valve?
Yes full valve: 5 x 12AX7A for the preamps, 1 x 12AT7 for the reverb, and 2 x 6L6GC for the power amp
Pierre Lacroix yes! I've had mine for almost a year now and it had been sitting in this store for several years! It's a fantastic amp and you can get almost any sound out of it.
Didn't know the amp existed till this demo and I'm so glad you guys demo'd it. Tbh, I've never heard Rob's ML-1 sound better till you guys switched to the dirty channel.
That Strat tone is awesome!!
I still love the shit out of this amp.
Great review and that amp seems extremely versatile and sounds great to my ears on this vid. Thanks for putting this together... going to go check one out.
When he plugged that strat in, it made me smile!
Rob's equally fun to watch listening as he is playing.
Badass intro ;) and great amp :O really impressed by this !
That's truly an amazing sounding amp..
By the way, great playing guys! And the amp is phenomenal.
They need a head version of this... this sounds kickass! Thanks, Chappers!
Rob your playing is fantastic! :D
That strat tone was unbelievable!
WHOA THIS AMP IS SICK! Breakthrough for Fender for sure! Omg how i would like to have one... You can even tell by how much fun these guys are havin! Dear baby enus oh goodness please santa
Sorry Lee but the "Notch" feature was introduced by Paul Rivera while working at Fender during the early to mid 80's and can be found on a few of the "Red Knob" amps inc the twin and it's head, the Dual Showman. Paul continues to use the notch feature on his own amps.
It's just been awhile since Fender featured it on contemporary designs.
Cheers!
2 channels that will do a lot more then many other amps with more channels...ive personally never seen a tube amp that is soooo versatile as this..its full tube and yet abel to go from as clean as it gets to as dirty as it gets..a pad function that cleans-up humbuckers, notch control, and even an "ISF" type system..first channel with gain boost (which makes it basically a third channel)...its a perfect amp..love it..
God damn the Cap'n's tone in this video is incredible.
Great demo, lads. I need to check one of those out!
These amps are bloody awesome
I bought this one from Andertons. Sounds even better in real. Much better than my previous amp, Boogie mk iv.
Thanks guys for the demo, but now I want one of this bad boys !!
best amp iv heard in a while
that strat just sounded great
I was just watching another of your videos and you mentioned the Fender Machete review, so here I am. I love it! And I really enjoy you guys. Lots of info, great sound, good production, it's all here. I would like to make a minor suggestion. When reviewing a new amp, or any gear, don't stick it behind the couch. Place it right between you two and give some tight shots of the controls while your pointing the features out. Other than that, no issues! Just trying to help.
Sounds amazing!!!
Best Fender Amp! IMO ... Cap N' Chappers, another great video!
Thanks
Great review guys very thorough and detailed which is why I like your reviews. I bought this amp over a Marshall jvm 205c, and the Blackstar Ht 50 based on your demo of this amp which really surprised me because I like Blackstar also. It was too hard to pass up getting the classic fender clean sound and then a good blues overdrive sound and a classic hard rock or metal sound all with no pedals. Fender did overprice the amp which will hurt sales of it but I bought it on a payment plan.
Killer playing, enticed to spend some on a new amp. Thanks! Used to own a Mesa Studoo 22 back in the 80's. This seems to be the amp I'd klikwvto own. Thanks for god demo! Cheers, and jeep fiddling with he knobs,....
The Captain is such a classy player. Great touch, great feel for it. Doesn't try the acrobatics, just smooth hands.
Playing a song or so exactly like the original creator of the song shows tons of determination and attention to detail , but making it a goal to always play by the book shows that the person is too afraid to explore their own sound.
I find as a teacher and a professional vocalist/guitarist that people who worry about sounding correct rather than flowing with their own self image tend to be boring players. And most off the time are very boring people or lack self image.
good video
best fender amp ever. now they're versatile and can play metal or anything :D
I have learned to trust the Captain and Robs advice when it come to buying gear. You have not steered me wrong yet. thanks guys!! I just bought a Machete amp!! I want a Chapman guitar I just can't decide which one to get.
off ebay? how do you like it? what kind of music do you play? please give use the deets buddy, pleeeeeeeeeez! lol I want one!
Coppulor I purchased it off a guy on Reverb.com. It's great place to find new and used gear. I play classic rock and blues. I love this amp. I have a EVH 5150 III and I like the Machete much more. Much more user friendly. Great tone, very responsive adjustment. It will sound great with any type of music you want. I bought a used one. If I could only have one amp the Machete would be the one hands down. The only complaints I have heard is the looks of the amp. I like the look. Does not look like a traditional Fender or sound like one. I would recommend this amp.
great feedback thank you!
I have one & It's a keeper, one of the best out there!
absolutly. if the tubemeister does the sound you are looking for, its a great amp. looking forward to buy it, too :)
I love my Machete, thank you for turning me on to it!
This Amp really surprised me, in a good way. A Fender guitar always sounds great thru a Fender amp :-) Nice video guys.Was that Lola barking in the background?
its not about amount of channels. its about tone! and this amp has it!!
Damn, that clean channel with the extra gain stage....damn.....
Damn, that clean channel pushed is like MAR-SHALL
I'm so in love with Lee's playing, farrrrk I just wanna grab a Strat and jam with him!
Sounds fantastic.
Chappers is taking a back seat to the young gun on the heavy metal side of things.This amp is a real sleeper.
Update: Been playing the Machete as my main gigging amp for some time now and it is fantastic. It is biased a bit cold from the factory. Biasing it up to 75% and changing the 6L6 power tubes (I use JJs) makes a good sounding amp sound phenomenal. I also scored a Chapman ML-1 which came out to me in southern California pretty out of whack. Frets were uneven and needed to be ground. Sounds/plays ok now.. This is a VERY heavy guitar. I need to play it sitting down! Getting old sucks.
Holy shit tasty playing Lee
Great review as always really enjoy your videos. Any chance you can do a review of the Marshall JCM-1 ?
BEST AMP IN THE WORLD!!! i got a live demo at winter NAMM. I LOVE FENDER AMPS!!! i love fender everything ;]
Carvin V3M. It's great, I love mine. They come in a combo and a head/cabinet setup. I have mine running through a 2X10 and it just sounds great. There a lot of videos about them
-- Cheers
that thing sounds fucking nice! better than any rectifier i've ever heard. need to find one to try! and it's still got the nice fendery cleans!
Captains definitely improved!
Hey Chapman & Captain, I found something on the web for an easy amp mod. I went to Mercury Magnetics website & brought some IEC power cord for the amp. The gauge on the wire is a 14 AWG gauge instead of the 18 AWG gauge, amp companies would supply you . I tried it on my VOX, Fender & Marshall amp. The hiss sound quiet down. My VOX sounded horrible on certain chords and now sounds great. Tried it on the Machete & put it on UA-cam for what it would gain from a thicker power cord. Cheers, Flood!
It can be, it's 50 Watts - all valve! But it has a volume knob and also gave a great bedroom tone ;-)
+Diablo Canyon a typical PA or guitar amplifier's around 4 ohms, more powerful ones can be around 2 ohms, but normally, between 16, 8 and 4
Screaming amp! Love Lee's blues btw \m/
Very pleasantly surprised by this amp.
Thanks for the answer. I'm considering it since I'm looking for a more metal sound compared to my Hot Rod deluxe ;) I also need something that won't blow my head off immediately after switching it on. I have to try it out myself.
Great video Capt. and Monkeylord! =)
Thanks!
Another great demo - thanks guys. Would love to hear your take on the Laney Ironheart and how it compares to the Machete :)
Awesome version of Aeromancy :D
Nice sounding AMP!
You should try the Mesa/Boogie Studio 22. Extremly sensitive EQ and a really good sound.
dude!!!!!! chappers looks sick without the handle bars facial hair haha
I'l just pull the nob out while rob is playing. Team work!
He played master of puppets alternate picked sinner(nah i kid it didn't sound that bad)
The Orange shape nob changes the clipping form of the distortion, IE, hard/soft clipping. Soft clipping being more bluesy (overdrive) hard more metal-extreme metal (distortion). The ISF is a panoramic EQ that changes which frequencies are effected by the gain channel. The gain type stays the same. Orange basicly put a potentiometer between 2 components. Blackstar designed a new equalizer, Fender mimics the equalizer not the waveshape.
Hope you understand, it's not very self explanatory haha.
Very nice sounding amp. Friend of mine have one. Sounds way better than the other fender amps which to me sounds cheap and tinny compared to most boutique amps. Only one big issue, it is very big and heavy.......Not quite as versatile as my Engl but closer in quality and sound. Although it is quite a bit cheaper. Way better than the supersonic line which is the closest they have with much fuller sound.
That sounds pretty damn ace..! Nice playing! This ampdemo makes me regret anything amprelated i've ever bought before :|
It seems to be a great amp. i like the profiles of it in my Kemper profiling amp too ;)
Awesome video,, I have had one a while and still haven't found all the tones in it. Just misses a master volume, as a very loud amp for home.
Chappers looks quite clean here
I will definitely check out the ml1! Just played my first gig with the machete. it was like bringing a shotgun to a fistfight! Sounded great. The speaker sucks but I haven't hear a v30 I like yet. going to replace it with a weber silver bell and get some JJ tubes. It is a cool amp - thumbs up!
I watched a couple of videos about that amp. I think it sounds great and it seems to have a good variety of sounds suitable for any kind of music. The reason why I'm not going to consider buying it (at least in near future) is that it's a 50W amp. I noticed that it can be switched to 22W or 7W mode, but it's price tag is too big for my wallet right now :) Thanks for your response anyway, I really appreciate it.
yeah, it does sound really good, I am a fender fan anyway, so a little biased, but wasn't expecting those sounds to be honest, it probably sounds even sweeter in real life, rather than video
I have a 15W all-tube right now...and Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 has a 5W and a 1W mode :) but you're right, a 5W amp can be good (for example Blackstar HT-5, as you mentioned). One of the reasons that I'm looking for a little bigger amp, is that I might start a band with some friends in the next few months, and if I buy a head/cabinet set, I can later upgrade my gear with a bigger head, if a 20W amp isn't enough, but for now it is good. For home use as well, if it has 5W or even 1W mode :)
cant go wrong both great depends what you like
aeromancy is one sick riff
I tried it at GC. Pretty decent sounding amp. Especially on clean and crunch. Plus it sells at under $1000 at the GC I was at. Now it isn't as good to me as my modded Egnator and of course not close to my Engl or Bogner.
That particular ML-1 I believe is loaded with a dimarzio Mo Joe in the bridge, and dimarzio choppers in the middle and neck. I believe he elaborates in another video. You can find them at any online music store.
Lee's Blues is smoother and sweeter than those ogival juices of maidens
i feel like one part of that riff has almost a black sabbath feel.... which is amazing!! dont mind me if im wrong :P sick riff though \m/
Any chance of an Egnater review? Any amp model would do I'd really just like to hear what you make of the brand :) If I had to suggest one though I would say the Tweaker. Great little amp with plenty of features. Hope you see this Chappers!
I tried adapting to alternative picking on Master of Puppets myself, went back to down picking and it's so much better I reckon.
Yet another top-quality amp review with belly laugh bonus. Keep it up, kids.
