Mesa, Revv, KSR, Omega - Amp Shootout
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I am shooting out 4 of my high gain amps. The goal with each was to attempt to dial in a high gain metal tone. All 4 amps are quite different, we start on 5s to show the natural character of the amp, and dial in from there.
2:10 - Dual Rectifier - Rev F
7:10 - Revv 100p
12:45 - KSR Juno - Lead Mode
18:55 - KSR Juno - Clip Mode
23:15 - Omega Obsidian
Anthony,
I got to say thank you for this video.
Also, it doesn't matter if we are great players or not. You have more guts than most of us to be playing in front of a camera.
The Revv sounds like how I wanted a rectifier to sound.
Very informative video! Definitely great seeing all these amps played side by side!
Revv and Omega, great tone almost out of the box. Thanks for the video!
Cool!
I see you there Revv Amps :D
@@KieranGiles yoooooo
Nice job man! That Omega...
Appreciate you sharing brother. Killer amps.
The Revv and KSR seemed to have the thicker mids. Mesa was least fave. Really cool demo, man. Thank you!
Quick Comparison:
27:28 - MESA DUAL
27:39 - REVV 100P
28:12 - KSR Juno 100
28:35 - OMEGA OBSIDIAN 100
This popped up on my suggested again today and man, you got some great tones here. Great video, haters be damned haha.
The heads and cabs in the back ground look 4 feet wide! Shoot, was hoping for the Mesa Mark V
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMNNNN THAT MERMET "TELE" LOOKS AMAZING !!! \m/
iam sorry man, but mesa rec is sound much better than that, mesa tone dial but diff. way than revv,
Between the exact Revv and Powered by Omega, if you had to buy one first all over again which one would it be? I'm stuck in between both of these amps and I believe they both would do the same job really well. My amp background starts with the Triple Rectifier and I actually want something with a nasty, growling tone kinda similar to a 5150 on steroids as far as the upper mid range punch those have. But my issue with 5150 is they sound very dull and thin to my taste. My application is mainly just playing for enjoyment and occasionally jamming with others
Soldano SLO with boost/OD would work.
@@GuitarsAndSynths I have an SLO. Tell me about that boost part please)
The noise @ 4:30 can be eliminated by putting a mute on the strings between the nut and the tuning pegs. Foam, a hairband, or a FretWrap will do the trick.
Interesting - I have owned a lot of Dual Rec... They seem bright to me.
OMG///OMEGA!!!
Great, real world comparison Anthony. Most demos are unrealistic, in that there are complex signal chains from professional players so that you have no idea what the actual sound would be for the average (me, below) player would get from the xyz amp.
Thank you!
Great review Anthony! I learned a huge amount about real amps that I have the sims of but don't really know how to dial in :)
Man, the rectifier and juno sound very similar
Nice video! Congrats @AnthonyBest but I am a bit confused. You have 4 100W+ heads on at the same time connected to OX how? You have a switcher? If yes, isn't this dangerous for the amp? Because the OX only works as a load box when an amp is connected to it, so when you have selected for example the dual rectifier then the other amps are not connected to any load. Isn't this dangerous for the amps?
The KHE puts a dummy load on the unused heads. The OX provides a load for the head in use. This is perfectly safe. Take a look at KHE Amps switchers!!!
@@itsanthonybest awesome I need a good amp switcher like that now with my Mezzabarba MZero and Bogner Uberschall amps.
@@GuitarsAndSynths hands down by the KHE switcher. Lots of options, amazing product and even better customer service.
I would love to see a high gain amp shoot out with Wizard, KSR, Mezzabarba, Dover, and Diezel. These amps except for Diesel do not have modeled profiles that I am aware of for Kemper or Fractal or Helix. Maybe I need to save up and do a shoot out like this?
Well I have a Dover on the way... but i likely won't do a full shootout again, i may revisit a few of these amps in their own videos...
@@itsanthonybest awesome playing and demos and I am saving up for few high gain amp heads. Right now just rocking a small ENGL Ironball lunchbox 20 watt to a Mesa 1x12 cab. Works for home use.
Renaissance Man thank you for the very kind words
@@itsanthonybest Sure thing buddy! Anyways, I just bought two new high gain amps- a Mezzabarba MZero and Bogner Uberschall Twinjet and very happy with both. So crushing with amazing note clarity and articulation. Not sure what to get next? Perhaps a KSR Gemini or Diezel Herbert? It really comes down to what amp would mix well with these two amps yet offer unique tones to complement them. With the MZero, I can do rock, blues, jazz to metal. The Uberschall is more modern metal chugging.
I had thr Orthos but struggled to cut the band mix like my BFG modified Dual Rec. :(
Hi bud i just found your channel. Cool collection you got. I pre ordered a revv 120 mk iii. But im curious about the obsidian. They cost the same. Which is better for extreme metal and better clean channel for my fuzzes. Thanks
Honestly man they are just different. One. It better than the other. The clean channel on the revv will likely do better for fuzz pedals… more headroom but either would be good.
And for extreme metal the revv is tighter on the purple channel but the Obsidian has a kick unlike any other amp.
Both great just different
I now have a revv mk3 120 and I play it more than any other amp because of the versatility
Thanks buddy i appreciate the feedback. I should recieve my generator in January. Its going to sit on top my 6505.
Add some gain or presence when dialing in those amps. All of them should be SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!! MELTING your face off!!!
Which one moves the most air in the room in your opinion?
I mean thats a really tough thing to QUANTIFY... I would say the Mesa because its probably the LOUDEST. But the KSR is the one that has the biggest kick in the chest type of feeling.
What was the position was the contour switch in on the 100p?
UP... i almost always prefer it up.
