- Does the Boss Nextone Stage sound like a tube amp? That is the question we answer in this video.
A proper vintage amp collector plays the Nextone Stage in each amp mode:
- 6v6 to sound like a Fender Deluxe
- 6L6 to sound like a Fender Super Reverb
- EL84 for a Vox AC15
- EL34 for the vintage Marshall amp tone

Unassuming dude casually goes thru his collection of what many ppl would consider holy grail guitars and amps
Really great video because there are not that many reviews on this amp. I own the Nextone Stage and can attest it is the real deal after owning SR, DR, and PRRI. I play at home and is all I need.
great to know! is it good at very low volumes too? just about to buy one..
@@lucid_delirium976 yes - for sure.
It’s a great amp for sure, especially with the version 3 software. I did put a Celestion Alnico Cream in and it got even better (at least to my liking). Great for at home too on the 0.2 watt output..
That guy can play. And the amp sounds terrific. Thanks, Dylan. Love your videos.
This guy would be a guitar legend in any other city
Remarkable. Sounds like the best solid state amp around.
I like that despite the title the video answers the more important question for players, does it feel like tubes? Very useful video.
I would love to see you both do this with the Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb. This Boss amp seems to help the argument that the Fender TM is too expensive.
Great video.... Roland/Boss just don't make things that suck.... not everything is great but some things they do are in fact great and you may not like everything they do but nothing is ever worse than good.
Dude knows his amps! Good vid and sound!!! I was heavily thinking about a Marshall DSL 40CR, but this Nextone seems to have better sounding options!
Great video thanks for making the recording. It is a great amp for the money.
That is a legit collection of guitars and amps. This guy is not fooling around. Great video. On these solid state amps, if they put some background noise on them I think more people would have a harder time telling. That's what I notice the most, how quiet they are turned on compared to my tube amps.
Michael seems awesome, and that collection! 😍
I'm beginning to think that I'm a little different. I'm in my 50'sand am not hung up on the nostalgia thing. I have or have had at some point most of the amps people seem to want to try and emulate. I also remember all the maintenance that went along with the old stuff. I like getting new things because I want new sounds. If I go out and get a new truck, I'm not going to try and make it work like my 1979 Datsun. I also am trying to get as far away from loud as I can get. I have had to hear loud amps and stages most of my life and loud is very over-rated. I have found that a good target volume level is where the sound can be heard well but two people standing a few feet apart can still have a conversation.
I love these teens who want vintage eq. "I need a '50s tele, for that tone". Then they play nirvana?
I have a Vox AC 15 and this thing heats up like a mother. For someone relatively sensitive to heat, I get super sweaty in winter, let alone summer. It's a great sounding amp, though I wouldn't mind having a bit more control, like the Nextone or Blues Cube would provide.
Ahh, but if you got your new truck to work, run and feel like an old F-150 you would not mention Datsun.
@@PeterDad60 That's a negative. Absolutely no interest in taking a new truck and turning it into an old one. I am happy to let those poor souls stuck in the 70's stay there.
Well said Sir , I’m thinking of buying one as my super champ is going to get me evicted 😇
Bought one yesterday on the strength of this video. Hope it's as good as you say!!!
Thanks!
Thank you man for the great review. I've been looking for an ampbyo upgrade, after watching this review, I know what I'm getting.
Thanks for this video. I have this amp. and agree; it sounds very tube like. Great attack, chewy tone. I love it at home. Took it out for a bar gig, and none of that translated. All the tonal goodness got washed out, and what was left was a sterile card board like sound. This was a small bar, maybe 70 people. Pretty loud crowd, tho. Band is Country/Oldies. Not a loud band, but drummer is kinda heavy handed. Loud Cleans are important to me. We dont mic instruments. Thats too technical and time consuming for us old guys. I usually use a Hot Rod or Mesa Express 25, which are both plenty loud and clean, so I was dissapointed the Boss Stage (40 watts) didnt hold up better. I do like the Nextone concept well enough to possibly get the 80 watt Artist or Special, when gigging gets back to Normal.
Please tell me if you, or other musicians have used the Nextones successfully at gigs. I'm looking forward to going thru your videos. Looks like a lot of good stuff there
Just used nextone stage at small venue and it sounded great. Used an overdrive pedal with it on 6L6 and was only using half power at that. Lead player was using a katana 50 mk2, we had a seperate keyboardest and seperate bass player with a heavy ass drummer too. Good luck!
I've got one too recently (Nextone Stage). At home it's the tube goodies all day long, but at higher level it tends to struggle to keep headroom consistency. In other words it lacks a bit of power. Also the "tube" tone is 90% there, but the tube attack and heavy feel not really (80% let's say). Overall I'd say it's still very worth it's value! It's ideal for home use, practices, smaller gigs (but mic-ed could be enough for bigger) and tone searching. But for bigger shows i would go full tube hands down. Also haven't tried the Artist or Special, maybe they are better. Thanks for your input, cheers!
Very interesting. You friend was getting it done which is cool. It’s also interesting to not that valve amp cork sniffers will say it will make a good backup amp but your guy was he would totally gig this to keep his vintage amp safe.
Good video 👍
I have a Nextone Artist and it's a lot of fun. What I have noticed, though, is I play it in the half power (40W) mode at home with the master way down. While the 0.5W setting works it sounds overly compressed and bottom heavy to my ears. Pedals have worked well.
One thing I'm currently trying is using the lead channel with the gain at minimum. On many amps this will provide more headroom. Whether this is true about the Nextone, however, I don't yet know. It is a bit different, though.
Cheers!
It’s a lot like a tube amp than I even wanted in that respect, I feel like this amp needs some volume to come into its space. I more use my amp models at my practice volume. Like a tube amp it likes to be loud, actually sounds better at full watts and master volumes cranked up.
It would be also interesting to know how it reacts to pedals too. Overdrives, boosters and fuzzes in particular. Nice tones and playing there.
I've had one for a while and they are great amps, and better sounding than my tube amps for real. Extremely Loud and notes just blooms from it. It takes pedals just like your favorite tube amps. You got four classic tube amps to choose from. Its awesome.
Well it says BOSS on it. Nuff' said.
Takes pedal just like you want it too
Late to the party. I bought one of these the day it came out. It is an awesome amp. A few techs at the store bought one as well after trying mine when it came in. Haters are going to hate, but for the price. I don't think this is easily beat.
At 69 years old, I wish I could still lift something like this amp! I very rarely ever used any pedals (other than an MXR Micro Amp)! For extra boost! Thanks for sticking the knife in even further! 5 Strokes DO tend to unforce that one is no longer 21 and bullitt proof any more! I can barely lift my VOX VT20X from the floor to an elevated stand!
its under 30 pounds
66 here and I feel you brother.... My Vox 120 might as well be set in concrete.. it never comes off it's stand...
I just lifted and moved 5 large tube combo amps and a 50 watt and a 100 watt tube heard today and some of them 3 times trying to make a 3 combo amp stack with a head on the top as well and then decided it was in the wrong place. I'm 71 and permanently disabled from being crushed in an accident. My neck and shoulders hurt. I work out every day for an hour.
I know the feeling, absolutely love my Roland Blues Cube Artist 2x12. 🤘🏻
Outstanding review of the Nextone Amplifier. So many people have so many questions in regards to if the technology really works.
Sounds pretty convincing to me.
Would also like to hear how it responds to pedals
I would add one more comment. Tube amps, guitars, guitar pickups, speakers, have been the same, or roughly the same for almost 70 years. Don't misunderstand; I love the sounds that come from Fenders, Marshalls, Vox's and Boogies. It just seems that every other tube amp that came after these are some variation on these and they've pretty much been figured out. It might be blasphemy (Heresy?..I always get those two things mixed up) to say this, but I'm really intrigued by the idea that new technology is being created that could bring the electric guitar into a whole new era and I'm ready to see that happen. Doesn't anyone want to see the instrument progress and grow? I'm glad this amp behaves in a way that is familiar because we can find new ways to evolve it. Alright! Come get me! I'm braced!
I totally get it. Like my other comment says, I buy new things to get new sounds. I have 0 interest in buying something new in an attempt to make it sound like something made 40 years ago.
I started to play guitar in the 90s mostly because of punk and metal. Although i like almost any style of music from any era of humankind, when it comes to guitar amps and sound i found I'm not usually into anything pre-Van Halen ideas. I am generally a high gain guy for a start. I been to gigs where bands share backline and i usually hated when the amp they lended me was vintage styled even when recent made. For blues and other stuff, they are ok, but for heavy distortion give me anything post-78 designed, and i dont mind if it's tubes or solid state. Solid state amps i have used are good at that field.
Excellent revue and tones to die for 👍
I found a Vox Valvetronix AD30vt for $75. Liked it enough to get an AD50vt w/the foot pedal for $160. That was 1.5, 1 years ago. I watch them on different sites, they’ve gone up a bit. So, what I saw here was a continuing improvement in modeling (amps, tubes, whatevs). Good video. Educational. Keep it up.👍
I play through a solid state orange, set up totally clean most of the time, I have cheap Klone set to light gain/edge of break up, a JHS Kilt set up to a heavier crunch, and a Blackarts Tone works Black Forest fuzz dimed and they are also touch sensitive. Years ago I didn't understand what that meant and figuring that out was... a light bulb moment. Learning to feel that type of change and control with the volume pot and the pick is fantastic.
Hey thanks for making this video. It's the best I've seen so far. Similarly great SS amp that's I think is on par to this is the Yamaha THR100HD. It's actually closer to the new Nextone Special then it is the Stage or Artist. Very little video I can find here about this amp, but every single one of them have shown how great it is. It'll be great if you can take the time to check it out, and maybe do a video about it too.
Suffered a small tear on my right rotator cuff. I needed something small loud and light for live performances. Purchased a Boss Nextone Stage 1×12 after returning a Fender Mustang GTX amp. This amp sounds good at home. I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds tonight at Unhinged Brewing Albuquerque NM.
dude you guys really showcased that amp and sold it. I love tube amps but I need a SS back up (have tweed champ and twin) in the chance of both blowing tubes (happened). Michael isn't messing around when it comes to knowing what tube is . . . and his playing is good . . . " super reverb straight up" and Mike kept it and played insted of saying "this sucks." I was thinking katana or this but this seems better for what I'm used to.
Best demo of a Nextone out there
Oh man. Glad I found this on your channel. I have been thinking if getting one of these. I have a Katana.
Thanks so much for these videos sir. Regards my friend from southern Indiana USA.
Really nice to see someone spend some time on this amp. I have played around w/ one at Sam Ash a few times and have been pleasantly surprised. I'd love to see you run some boost and other gain pedals into it to see how it reacts. I quite like this compared to a Katana, for simplicity sake. Essentially what you see is what you get(but with some ability to tweak some additional parameters within the software interface). I'm a little on the fence with this, but I'm a little more convinced after this video. Please do some follow up with pedals and also the drive channel. Great video!
My one critique of this vid is you had the master volume at about 9:00. Boss says that cranking the master is what pushes the virtual poweramp tubes. To control volume, you'd use the..... attenuator switch, i think it's called.
Otherwise, cool vid. It goes without saying that you can really fine tune the amp using Boss's software, including making amps act in non-traditional ways (such as having the 6L6's BMT controls act like those in a Marshall)
I just bought the special and I can’t work it out. You definitely get more grit when driving the master volume, but when you put the headphones in, the master volume doesn’t change the amount of grit, it just makes it louder. It’s sounds like the grit of when the master is on about 2 o’clock but it just controls the volume. They are doing tricky stuff, and I’m gonna have have to work on it so my sound is gonna translate from the practise room to the stage.
All that said, it’s on a par to the Mesa road king I used to own. Different but equal. I don’t miss the weight, the hum, the maintenance, the warm up, or the reverb of that Mesa.
I'm seriously considering the Nextone Special...
In the '80's, I used a '61 brown, Fender Super Amp, that to this day I can't swear that the one 12" speaker, instead of the two 10" speakers, weren't done by the factory!
Hi Dylan ! Great review (as usual) for an amp that doesn’t seem to get much attention / love on the web.
It’s too bad you didn’t check out / shortly demonstrate the software where you can tweek the tone / response. It’s a great feature and there is no need to keep the amp on the computer all the time. I did it just once, and enjoy.
And it’s a great pedal platform too (having an all analog signal path)
I have it and use it mostly at home, where the output selector is great to play at lower volumes (0.2 watt) without upsetting neighbours. No need to warm up tubes etc, just switch on and play.
For me it’s a keeper. I swapped the stock speaker out for a Celestion Alnico Cream and the amp got even better.
I had the stage, it missed the lows I wanted. Went to the Artist and it was exactly what I expecting. I find the « tweed lead » in the software sounds amazing. This model might cool in the stage version, I’ve to admit. Still I like it in my Artist. It might be more of a blues jr than the 10’ fender tweed ah ah
The Nextone special would have been my choice if it was available at the time I bought it. More efficient with humbucker, I find. Because the highs and bottom option with the kind of speaker.
Ps. Today I just played with the Benson Preamp » as a boost for a smooth tone and it’s amazing : ) don’t be scared to boost the signal in the Nextone, it loves it + I just discovered the solo EQ adjustment in the software, oh wow… the boost on the side of the power amp with the desired frequencies at your taste is great… this still with your favorite overdrive, it makes lead tones to die for!
The Artist version has as much quality as the Special, just different. It strength reside in the way it blooms like a tube amp. The Special has more grit in the highs which is good for certain situations. When I play with the software, I realize the Artist is more than enough for my needs. Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of boutique gear and this little beast is my way to go at the end of the evening when I want to relax.
How many decades did it take to tune your ears to know the difference tho?
I have tube amps and bought the Nextone 40 for short sessions (10 mins or so) where it didn't seem worth switching on a tube amp. To my ears its lacking the full sound of real tube, wherever I put the controls. Just a bit disappointing.
Like a tube amp, does it break up as you turn up the volume? That would be great. First crunch, then overdrive, then distortion! Let's hear it!
Thanks!
Thanks for the great video Dylan. And there it is..... My Boss Nextone Special is as good as my Black Face Amps. I will probably put my Fender Amps in storage until they are stupidly expensive. I have a Deluxe Reverb, a Vibrolux, a Hot Rod Deluxe, and my favorite is a Peavey Delta Blues that has had some circuitry alterations to stop the hum from the reverb stack.
just found the stage version with the pedal for 300 euros in mint condition.. i wont be able to sleep until it arrives now...
Sounds awesome 😀
Excellent demo. Have you had a chance to play with a Quilter amp? Seems like the closest competitor. How would you compare?
These look cool. Fired up my roland cube 60 last night. Sounds amazing for $50, used. Try one.
I have to jump in here and say...WOW! This guy can play a strat! I came here for the review, but was blown away by the playing. As always, it's a good video. Thanks to you both.
Iknr? I have a nextone and I actually really love it. I wish I had all those amps the dude has . I’m not gonna argue that this amp is better than any of those but I can get in the neighborhood of classic fenders and marshals with this amp.
Hey Dylan, or anyone, would you say the Stage is as loud as a deluxe reverb? Louder? I ask because Dylan seemed to be impressed with how loud this amp was. Great video
Sounds good! How did you find the Spark responded to hard/soft playing? Any dynamics there?
I had a Nextone. It did not have the tone or feel of a tube amp. I absolutely hated it!
I Dylan, i am very glad to see your interest about that amp that i own here in France. Here we are so conservative that nobody buy someting without big names on it like those beginnig with F or M or V ! It is ridiculous and your test prove it. Of course i own also some tube amps but that Boss Nextone is perfect for home use, as you can manage the volume and plug it to your computer to tweak it, that is not in your video. Thanks Dylan to try to change the poor man idiot perception!
Very interesting....🔥
Love the channel...new sub, own the katana 100, Boss 100 artist, and a Blues Cube Stage, looking for one more. It will most likely be a Blues cube Artist or the Nextone Artist Custom, any pros or cons on those two in comparison...Thanks
I am looking at about 5 amps to possibly buy, for home use and small gigs in the future...I am looking at The Nextone stage, the Nextone Artist, the Katana Artist, Quilter Aviator cub, and Blackstar Silverline Special. All solid state all have lots of good reviews. All have fender cleans and 4 out of 5 have marshall crunch.
Is there any of these 5 that anyone has heard bad things about? Any of these 5 that stands above the rest? Is there an amp out there that I should be looking at besides any of these? Looking to spend $300 -$600...
All opinions welcome.
Sounds great guys! It makes me wonder if I should have got this instead of the Katana...
I was about to buy a katana today and the sells guy show me this Nexstone amp. Now I am confused and I do not what to buy. At first my feeling with the nexstone was better than the Katana but a bunch of people are saying the katana is better...difficult to decide
@@jcbcorner8464 If you do get the Katana bro, get the 100 MKII. It has more options (Effects loop and line out in back, 3 different cab sim settings up front and the best part is the 100 uses an 8 ohm speaker... I got the 50 and it's a 4 ohm.) knowing all this I think I still would have got the Katana over the Nextone, for home practice and light gigs I think it has way more options. Hope that helps bro!! 👍👍
@@MikeCindyWhite Yes it helps, thank you very much ! I really appreciate the feedback, thanks
@@jcbcorner8464not really horses for courses, both great amps I have both. If you did get the Katana hope it was the mk2 Artist
Hi Dylan, what is the sensitivity rating on the speakers?
Hi Dylan ,what's that artifact noise in the reverb when he rolls off the volume. Could it be what your plugged into.Presonus interface or ,?
It’s the sound of them cutting back to the room mics to pick up their speech
Merry Christmas Dylan
Hey Dylan! Quick question about unpotted pickups.
I'm trying to get a strat set wound unpotted.
Would it be wise to wax pot the bobbin / magnet / plate etc assembly BEFORE winding, then proceed to wind? Would this help microphonics any (because all of the hard parts are "sealed")?
Some guys like Curtis Novak Claim that microphonics don't come from the coil per se, but rather the hard parts of the pickup that are vibrating. And if you can damp those parts, you'll be free from squeel
Im just wondering if Wax Potting would be enough to seal the Hard parts....
I agree w Curtis Novak. I could make you a set like that. We also don’t fully pot our coils for this reason
@@DylanTalksTone Hmm interesting.
What do you normally do for a customer that wants a non potted set?
Do you still pot those "hard parts" (bobbin etc)? And does that make a difference?
@@DylanTalksTone I might have you make my next set (p90s) because I already paid this guy to make me this strat set.
I would have just had you make these for me, But I bought them before I knew that you would be willing to do that kind of build
Ktm66 would be cool to see
The four power sections didn't sound all that different to me, even through headphones. Certainly not as big a difference as between actual 6V6, 6L6, EL84 and EL34 tubes.
I can attest that they sound quite different, especially when using an overdrive pedal.
My boss compressor makes my solid state feel like a tube amp and ocd pedal sounds better. But if I was doing small gigs. This might work. I wish we could have a compressor pedal verse amp shoot out.
That's my experience as well. I have, and have owned tons of great tube amps, but one old workhorse I've used for many years is a Fender Sidekick 25 watt solid state. Use a compressor, set low to take the edge off the immediate solid state transient attack, and never run the gain at more than edge of breakup. Everyone who has ever heard it said they think it sounds great.
How long do I have to live in the south to sound like that?
We associate tube “sound” to specific circuits that made them (in)famous. I’m screaming into the void here, but this is marketing wank.
That tube selection knob is literally switching between modeled amps that we associate with those specific tubes.
Now, I am NOT saying it’s bad at all. Modeling amps have come very far as of late, like the Fender Tonemasters. I would have killed to have something like this 20 years ago!
Well .... you would be wrong. There is no modeling in the power stage
The tone master is digital modeling. This is not.
Do you have a web site with your pickups? I need a high output humbucker and single coil for my 1990 charvel preditor.
Dylantalkstone.com
@@DylanTalksTone thanks man
@@DylanTalksTone Checking out your pickups now. Do you do custom windings? I want something that will rip a person's head off in the bridge and it would be great if I could get it in the color red. Humbucker. The neck is a slanted single coil and has no flange. I plan on using a 5 way switch like the original in this Cbarvel Japanese Preditor. Love the neck on this 1990 guitar. Currently I have a no name piece of crap. I thought about EMGs as I hate noise. Anyway. Can't hurt to ask. Thanks again for the excellent channel and info kind sir.
This or the blackstar silverline?
This ALL DAY
No it doesn't.
I just bought one of these after listening to countless UA-cam demo clips, I even pushed the boat out and went for the 80W Special. Be aware the one you get will not sound anything like the vid clips, well at least mine didn't. After spending 4 hours fiddling with every combination I have given up and my ears are hurting, its going straight back to Andertons - utter garbage. Now I know many will not agree with me, but if you are expecting the smooth harmonically rich touch sensitive responses of a valve amp then forget it, despite the sale bull that it does. Now it is possible that I got a duffer, and certainly it does sound like the fancy speaker is busted, but I think it unlikely. I even listened to the video on the Boss website, but I gotta tell you that is not the same amp that I just got delivered today. My first and last venture into the digital amp world, back to tubes for me. Beware, make sure you can send it back before you commit to buying.
Here for the #breakupedness
listening through my cheap headphones. sounds like my Marshall Class 5.
I have two class 5 they’re great
There's a few modeling artifacts that still come across.
HOWEVER, close enough is close enough. I hate the Katana. I really hate the Fender monstrosities. But this one sounded pretty convincing on its own merits.
Definitively worth a closer look. I'd be perfectly happy having this next to the couch...or on a road trip.
..... there is no modeling..... so.....
@@DylanTalksTone No modelling? So what I'm hearing is just the solid state attributes? Still, not bad at all. Big improvement. I'd take one.
Four separate power stages .... legit stuff.
@@DylanTalksTone Only four? No 7591 or ELL80 power stages?
...all right... _fine_ ...
Have to _settle_ with just four....
Joking aside, this is the one "modern" non-tube amp that has impressed me the most. Which is not an easy thing to do. The last SS amp that I was really taken with was the JC-120. Although it's hard to beat the tuck and rolled Kustom amps from the 60's...just for the vibe. Not the sound.
@@DylanTalksTone Perhaps no modelling such as we tend to think of "modelling", but it's also not really as simple as just putting it down to having four different analog power stages. "Tube Logic technology uses digitally- controlled analogue solid-state components to mimic the dynamic response and clipping characteristics of a valve output stage." This sounds to me like it is still software doing all the heavy lifting in the tone sculpting.
i could just be dumb but to me the EL84 sounds more like EL84 loaded fender amps then a "VOX" style amps. more like a blues jr.
As long as this is dynamic reacts to vol changes its legit. Even if it does not really sound like a particular tube. The biggest problem with pocket friendly multieffects is that they are nowhere close to how a tube amp behaves. You take a Marshall higher gain prest and no matter how you roll of the volume on your guitar, or how light you pluck the strings, it just does not clean up. These transistor based amps at least do that, so the player is forced to work on right hand technique, unlike with these cheaper digital simulations.
Lol... both kemper and helix do this well
@@DylanTalksTone Affordable ones don't :) all those Mooers ge 150 and similar price range simply fail. If a 1k digital unit failed at that, it would be an outrage I bet.
@@DylanTalksTone the cheapest unit that handles dynamics extremely well , which I had a chance to play around with is Palmer Pocket Amp. It's more or less a copy of Sansamp , but it's way cheaper in Europe. Used one goes for around 60 bucks. A mooer ge 150 is 170$. Haven't played mooer ge 200, this one is 270$ . The cheapest helix is 500-550$ .
@@DylanTalksTone Yes, I actually think that's the one thing that's not really a major complaint anymore.
@@DylanTalksTone i have a Zoom G5n. It does it well too :)
Needs eq and compression
Check out the software! Change the eq for pre and or power amp, bias the valves etc… no soldering iron needed 😁
So i guess the judgement is "Good Enough" for cheap gigs, like the other 80% of my gear. But I guess the other takeaway is that it isn't bad for solid state. Would it be great if an amp can accept various impulse responses for the ultimate tweaker.
Also, (just as important) does it FEEL like a tube amp? 😉👍🏻
Right on man! The feel is the most important
You are right, the feeling, the kind of lag and compression that vary with your playing style, you don’t ear it but you feel it
Absolutely!! Thank you! The point is less about it sounding like a tube amp and more about it BEHAVING like a tube amp.
Well if you watch the video y’all would know we cover this....
Hahaha
Smaller but louder but bigger but smaller. ok.
so...the dude is frickin loaded. whew.
He's in his music shop.
Really good sounding emulations but every old tube amp has its own quirks and qualities good or bad. Digital replications are good but but they have no quirks. They produce an idealized sound of a great old amp. To my ears there's a generic quality to digital models. That being said I do use modelers because they are so damn easy to use at a gig. Fractal and Kemper top the list for realism IMHO. BOSS is amazing for the price points they offer.
So basically, yeh, it's ok. For when you don't want to break out the real shit.
This is real…. It is definitely not imaginary
Breakupedness 🤣
I know what amp sounds like a tube amp. A tube amp!
Lot of ads in this video. :( Decent otherwise.
Is it me ir does this thing sound pretty icepicky?
It’s you
I hate dont understand english u__u
Like 99% of these videos, it is at least 10 times as long as it needs to be. Just demo the stuff, end of story!
Patience isnt your thing? You don’t like being thorough? You don’t enjoy guitar stuff?
"Plays a genuine 57 strat through the boss nextone amp" wow it sounds good!?!
That’s why used a different guitar for most of it... so internet trolls couldn’t say that. I guess it sorta worked.
@@DylanTalksTone Internet trolls will always find something to be assbutts about.
The amp has more to say for tone than low/high quality/vintage guitars/pickups do. An original 57 strat wont sound good through a fender frontman 10g, but an affinity squier will sound good through a 57 tweed amp
