Today is March 26 2021. I love going back in time to this era of Lee and Rob
Golden era. Plus, I love my Excelsior
@@JoelK i am very tempted to buy one right now, whatd you consider a good price to be?
@@dmcarter1512 In Australia I’ve seen them at the top of the price range for $700. The lower end of the price range is around $500. I bought mine for $550 4 years ago. They exist in that affordable price range, but I wouldn’t pay in the upper range - lots of good amps for that price (as cool as the Excelsior is).
@@JoelK nice! the shop near me has it for €500, but i think that might be a bit steep for it, its about 800 aussie bucks. they also have an old blues deville for €400, I think i might get that instead
@@dmcarter1512 considering the € is a third more valuable than AUD I’d say that’s nuts.
We can get a used Hotrod Deluxe v3 here for $700 on a good day
Don't care what people say - I love the Pawnshop series ! These amps (this one and the Vaporizer) have given me what I've looked for in the old Silvertones, Danos and Supros etc, but I don't have to fix them first and they come with a warranty!
$400 and you're in weirdo, off brand, funky heaven.
Haters relax! Love 'em for what they are!
Just played a surf green Vaporizer last week...and love it! Dammit, now I'm trying to justify that old familiar attack of GAS. I'm eyeballing one on Ebay for US $299.
Been rewatching old chappers & captain vids. These are the the sweetest, vibey-ist, vintage tones they've ever gotten on video. By a country mile. All hail the underrated, discontinued Excelsior! Bring them back Fender!
Jake T I like all the pawn shop amps! Grabbed a Greta used for $95 and lovin’ it! Problem is I want em all! Arghhhh!!!
Capt lee, y'all should open and Andertons in America. I would much rather buy my gear from y'all and I feel a lot of Americans would too but being over in the UK, it's not feasible.
Nice, but better to stick to what you're good at.
I bought this in Feb. and love it! It does NOT need, a boost pedal, since it is really pretty loud alone. Mine is burnt in now and sounds better than when new. I do use an OCD most of the time for distortion at lower vol. I love the tone of this amp. and prefer it to my Hot Rod Deluxe for just jamming. It's simple and reminds me of a real blues amp tone. With pedals it's amazing & sounds great recorded.Well worth the $299. I spent. Thanks Fender for another classic amp.
I love the look Chappers gets whenever Lee starts dropping knowledge that's actually new to him. It's like a happy hunger.
I just got one of these things. I gotta say, I was really happy once I got it home and setup properly. And it's a helluva conversation starter!
I hope no body gets angry at me for saying this, but this thing sounds FANTASTIC with a Fulltone OCD in front of it. Especially through my friends Marshall 25th anniversary 412.
I love watching these just to see (and hear) Lee and Chappers jam.
It's great to see how you guys are not ego's and listen to their fans! Great job, and keep on going with those reviews, we love them!
Ah yeah, me too. Just now I noticed the Captain in a couple of the pictures in the intro. Very cool. We don't have many stores with personal history left here in the states.
I have one and am quite happy with it. Playing through a korean fender tele fmt hh into compressor, blues-driver, dd-20, hall of fame, it sounds amazing. Great tone for the money.
Best jam you guys have ever done together, though you never kicked in the drive. The amp sounded really good. Great cleans.
so cool to have an acoustic room full of guitars and amps
I have 2 Excelsiors that I have experimented on with great results. The absolute must do upgrade is the power tubes. Throw the stock 6V6 tubes at a politician and go get new JJ's or anything else. Voila, no more fizz. The preamp tubes will rattle and go microphonic also. Add a reverb or delay pedal and season to taste with a bit of tremelo and these amps come to life. No need to go crazy with speaker and EQ mods unless you want to completely lose the garage band vibe. Lots of potential in these!
FENDER DONE AN AMAZING JOB ON THIS AMP ITS PERFECT
that was the best jam ever!! guys please do a lesson on some of the licks you used and what scales and how to move up and down the guitar neck without it sounding horrible! pleaase thumbs up guys if you ever thumbs up anything in your life.!
You guys are rapidly becoming my favorite UA-cam guitar boys! Not only does THe Captain know his shit, and both can jam, especially Chappers, and I always get a good laugh. You guys lead a charmed life!
Just got this amp today in daphne blue! I love it so much!!!
Lee is just a wonderful guitar player period. A very overlooked man with amazing talent with a six string. ;)
bought the excelsior pro a little while ago and ill tell you, it is an absolutely phenomenal amp. Its amazing for gigging as well as home playing and it takes pedals beautifully! 10/10 I reccomend to anybody looking for a tube amp on somewhat of a budget
ive never seen 2 guys less able to play clean tones.
The Fender "Porn Shop" has a 15"er, and 3 holes!!!
...and two knobs.
Sounds like my ideal woman
Stinkfist2000 hey
You like women with two knobs?
I wish you luck with your search. 🤣
Lee is a pretty solid player, loved that solo!
thers nothing like waking up in the morning,drinking a cup of coffee and watching chappers vodeos
HOWDY ! from "The Great State of Texas".... Doesn't seem to matter what you dudes review, all yor videos are awesome. And I just wanna say, your new intro to the vids, with the quick "Time Travel" through the stores past is "Genuine"... If I were ever to get a hankerin' for Fish &Chips... Which, I never will... I'd shop there... Who knows... I've always wanted a bite of an English lass... So there's two things that would move me! At least... For a moment! Keep up the great work guys, you bring ton so' smiles on my Sundays with coffee and gear reviews!
Boss Andertons lead playing has improved so much in each and every video.. hard working guy eh !
The statement "there's very little drive in this amplifier" isn't true. You just need to turn the volume knob up. It has quite a bit of overdrive when you crank it up. (much like a champ...your tones go from clean to gritty)
Thanks for all the really informative reviews, been watching you guys for a couple of years. You helped me make a few decisions on some of the gear I purchased. Waiting for my Blackstar HT5R to be shipped to me now, can't wait! Cheers from the U.S.
ACCORDION INPUT? FINALLY!
YESSS The old intro is back!
I've got this amp..... and it's fuckin' amazing! Blues lines are so great with exelsior!
Don't get me wrong, I'm an "All-American", but...I'm salivating over those Union Jack throw pillows! I'm flying over just to break into your shop and steal them! LOL! You guys' vids are always great!
enjoyed the intro. a little anderton's history. cool.
Great review! BTW had to notice the excelsior is sitting on top of a Fender Machete. This is probably the greatest amp in the world, F**ing incredibly awesome! I bought one because of you guys
Ive got one of these with a Fulltone OCD in front of it. And plugging my garage made special with its dimarzio Air Classics into this little beast is just fantastic. A friend has a 25th anniversary Marshall JCM800 and a '08 LP classic custom and hes asked to borrow my kit for recording. :P54
i fucking love that telecaster
Nice amp at a cheap price. But, there is one problem that I would have with this amp. It is the inability to change the speakers for another 15 inch. I have to gut out the amp in order to change the speakers if the speaker stops working properly & buzzes too much. My Les Paul has 57 classics & the bass tone can be powerful that certain speakers can't handle it. For replacement speakers, I would prefer Eminence speakers because they are loud & it can handle my Les Paul. Cheers, Flood!
Rob, I'd drive all the way from Germany to England just to have a beer with you!
You haven't seen him play any SOAD? He did a cover of Shimmy! Look for it, it's a chilled out version- just awesome.
Since we are in suggestion mode, I've always had problems with different sound levels of speech and music. If I hear speech nicely, music is too loud and vice versa. So I constantly have to turn the volume knob up and down.
Please tell me I'm the only one and that something is wrong with my hearing. :)
capt's playing has improved :)
Def keep the old intro! It's classy. Chappers could you guts put the switch positions in the description for amps to get close to the tone in the videos?
Like the montage at the start of the video
I don't think that a tone knob is necessary, but a little could be great! But I loove it like that..... then you can buy or build some pedal effects!
I agree. It just sounds unnatural if the mic is too close especially if it's an open back.
I took a look at the Fender videos and the Excelsior sounds better in their video.
great little amp,it holds up fine with a drummer in a rehearsal situation,,, discovered an in between setting on the tone switch and it sounds really cool,,so far i like it better with single coil pu`s.
Definitely loud enough. I played with a drummer that like to play very loudly. Larger gigs, just mic it up and you're good to go.
Finally an amp that does not sound like a farting kazoo when Chappers is playing it !
Damn you two jam well together! I like this amp :)
I gig with mine and our drummer is loud. I've even played outdoor gigs with it through a 2x12 cab.
Very nice sounding amp---a lot of tone for its price point.
@Kaktus Kurt.... I've also got a Fender Frontman (the big 65R version) & you're right, they sound awesome. I put an Ibanez tubescreamer into it with my 58 strat reissue (the new MIJ ones) & it sounds just as good as my friends Marshall valve amp. Difference is mine has that "Fender-y" sound. I play a lot of Hendrix & bought it used bc it sounded so much like his tone :-)
i bought one as well its absoulutley fantastic i never stop looking at it the sound its strong and very clear no rice sound nothing and with my zoom g5 pedal fuckin amazing u cant buy better trust me u people
Awesome! i almost bought one of these at a guitarcenter.. but i ended up with Jet city
My friend has one of these, sounds nice with humbuckers cranked up! The tremolo doesn't work on it though which is quite dissapointing
So when you add the third hole you get The Brown Sound then? Cool!
if you crank it, it's probably loud enough. I can't imagine being the amp having much headroom though, so i hope you like slightly overdriven tones
Hi Chappers. Is that American Special You play? What Tele is Capt using in this vid? Nice play, thanks for review. I'm thinking about getting excelsior as a practice, home use blues amp. Craving for Blues Junior tho:)
thank you for putting lots of andertons content up at the moment I love it ;')
The Marshall 1936 cabinet has an 8ohm input.
damn, Lee is getting really good now!
As lee said pawn shop, I started playing funk.
We are doing this as of the next shoot ;-)
I would love a tab on what chord progression they are jaming over! that sounds sick!
2:05 *steamy ray vaughan
Charvel Desolation, its either a DC-1 or DC-2
completely different beasts. they're both versatile, but the excelsior only has two knobs, so you can't really shape your tones that much. they're both plenty loud, and you might notice more bass from the excelsior, but the blues junior is probably the overall better amp, even if some people do think it sounds "boxy".
nice little channel, most reviews are interesting.
sweet demo guys
Same here dude :) I bought it online from Bompstore records, I got a song from the record uploaded on my channel
They already did.
Great demo however, where do I connect the external cab?? You state a 4ohm =8 possibility
Comments about 15 inch speaker are misleading. If one used a 15 inch bass speaker then you would be correct but those aren't the 15s that either Stevie Ray Vaughan or any other guitarist who did their homework would use. Many speaker makers including Weaver, Eminence, Celestion etc. make 15 inch guitar speaker which is not bass heavy or weak in the mid range, just the opposite. The highs are smooth and sweet and the entire sound is punchy to a fault. I have combined one with a 10 inch hemp cone from Eminence both running 4 ohms from a Mesa Boogie Subway Blues - wow - a poor man's kickass '62 Vibroverb.
I think this is a really cool amp, but I *REALLY* want an Amp Eleven! :D You guys haven't done a review of just that, have you?
Thanks for posting, as always!
Fender Tele Baja - My guitar. AND WHAT A BARGAIN !
They didn't mention the 'Bright' switch!
I don't think they're available much in the UK, or Europe in general. Not sure though.
Or if you want a tone control and reverb, buy a cheap EQ pedal and a cheap reverb pedal, the for channel switching get a Boss OD2! Simples! Great review again ;-)
I would love to see (hear) a video review of signature Kirk Hammett ESP vs. the LTD guitar... James Hetfield as well :)
it have already a great tone! and i don't want to buy a EQ pedal....
I think that it sounded nice with the pedal.
Ahh I remember this intro
can you gig it?
We want Lola :)
That would be awesome
exactly. and your profile pic is amazing. fucking love the buffalo killers. got ohio grass on RSD
Odd, it's an Andertons vodeo and I got an ad for GAK at the start!
throw back intro :D
Hey lee and rob please review the super champ x2, its a cool little amp in my opinion, also new from this year, think you guys will like it! Not enought people know about this cool amp!
Tune!!
I've got the same sound on my very old fender-frontman (30w)
Correct ;-)
Out of the pub, uploading on the road from the iPhone, that the new rock n roll lifestyle dude, nobody, read: no self-respecting musician, does drugs anymore.
Singing, guitar playing, and accordion playing amp ha...perfect for Weird Al. XD
WELL IF THIS DON'T GET YOU EVEN MORE SALES, NOTHING WILL !
SoUNDS FAB :0)
will there be a part 2 to the charvel desolation series vid? would love to see the charvel random star reviewed :P
I would love to see you guys review some Jackson guitars
THE SPEAKER IS HUGE FOR MY HOME AND I ONLY TURN THE VOL; 9.00 ITS VERY POWERFUL
Thats true its very loud, i havent even had the volume that far up. Thats why im going to stick a 12ay7 valve in V1.
