I played this amp at my local music store...I almost cried. I played it using a Eric Johnson Strat rosewood fret board and it sang. If u have the money, go buy this amp. I REPEAT...BUY...THIS...AMP!
clickswitchh well i have a ‘68 fender twin and i prefer this one there is something special about it , it simply sounds divine , expensive though !
I hear you I tried one out and my pulse was racing and I was breathing heavily with excitement. A real physical reaction to how amazing it sounded. I am buying one very soon...
Was just about to comment looking at that guitar wondering if the fretboard was scalloped and then you said it was. So now I know. Not sure why I decided to comment to be honest. I've pretty much just wasted everyone's time.
its the guitar he made in the modded guitar project on his channel
James Nixon wasn't the telly Rob's creation? Either way.
AL yeah
Well, thanks for wasting my time, I guess...
By finishing this post, you win the internet laugh of the day.
I really got into Greg's videos with wildwood recently. That man could plug a broomstick into a toaster and it would still sound like 2 angels making sweet love in my ears. Great to see my favourate youtube demo guys know about him! Also, this setup sounds amazing!
I had to unsub from Wildwood after 2-3 videos or so.
Subbed after I saw the 'outtakes' video... and it's not that I dislike his silly talk now but I was pretty surprised (and annoyed) that this is all he does in these vids (except from the superb playing of course).
Yesidoplaytheguitar He is a rock-n-roll beast of the day and night!
DerEchteBold His banter is one of the main reasons to watch!!
Jonathan Dean Well, yeah it's ok
...but the fact that he does ONLY that silly talk makes the whole act seem horribly artificial.
greg koch is one of those virtuosos not known a ton out of the guitar player/musician circles, man by my standards that man can do no wrong hes a killer!!
I just got mine today and wow ,definitely the most responsive amps I've ever played
I get one next week! Did you change out the preamp tube? I was taking of grabbing a GE 5751 NOS to play around with as well. Hear they can do the old deluxe reverb trick, and it makes the top end a little less brittle. I like it either way! Dream amp for sure! Plus it has so many amazing features. Not many amps you can play at 3am, record and go straight to the gig without losing your tone. You can play whenever you like. I’ve heard no bad comments about this amp, outside some not liking the treble. But that’s easy fixed in like 4 ways. Turn up to 6 and attenuate to bypass the bright cap, get a mod, swap the power tube, put a different speaker in. But nothing I feel is a deal breaker.
@@mattg082 no I haven't switched anything, I love it so far just like it is
@@dustinarnold79 are you running many pedals with it, and if so what kind? I’m still playing mine and pretty much set it to 5.5-6 volume on rhythm and roll back my guitar volume to 6-7 to clean up. In that position it takes my Fuzz pedals better. So far overdrive at any volume has been great! Just those heavier distortions and fuzz need to get over the bright cap hump at low volumes. I love this amp 99%, and real close to looking into a bright cap mod. Thing is I like the bright cap on cleans and don’t want it gone. But when rocking out, I’d prefer to have it out to be more pedal friendly at lower volumes. My only gripe on the amp…outside that it’s 5 star for life amp. I know most clean and blues players this is of not issue. I mainly play Indie Rock which uses high gain maybe 10% of the time. Mostly I’m using Tubescreamers dialed to 0 gain and light overdrives and classic rock tones. Just if you want to use a big muff…yah know. I think the bright switch is the mist requested feature for this amp. As it has no normal channel like the Deluxe to fall back on. Locally I can buy an original 1965 or 1968 Deluxe for 2k no taxes with the normal channel…but that’s a bit pricey for a plane amp. I really like the lead channel a lot on the tone king and it’s so versatile! It’s just been hard to find the perfect Fender style amp for me. And the Tone King 99% nails it! So still within that 30 day of making decisions.
Love Lee's blues playing
The only reason I watch really.
Chappers likes the captains playing :) he always smiles when he plays. So do I. It''s nothing fancy but man it is honest and the feeling is fantastic
I can just imagine how nutty it was there for this "session". Robs been wearing the same shirt for what, the last three or four vids so this is the end of a long day! The Captain is sounding boss, so you know he is relaxed. Never know what Bea's doing. I'd love to try to hang and shadow these guys for a day, I bet it would be insane... Thanks for the great videos guys!
First you were partially responsible for me buying a 2014 custom shop 1958 Les Paul Bourbonburst back in Nov 2014 ( as well as Greg at Wildwood guitars ) and now Tone King. I've seen and heard you guys play this amp and it just sings to me .
I'm mainly a blues / classic /southern rock guy , with several Les Pauls . I wish that I could find anyone around our province or Washington state who carries this amp. It sounds and looks fantastic .
Thanks so much - once again you guys are having more fun that humans should be allowed to have - love your passion , humor and willingness to put out all of these demos .
Justin
I FUCKING LOVE RABEA FOR PLAYING PHILLIP SAYCE
CrazyJoe what song was it? sounded really good
Dylan Shah morning star
Agreed!!! I almost fell off my chair. I yelled (to no one in particular) "Morning Star!?!?" No one answered...until now. Thanks!! How about Tyrone Carreker next?!?!
bea's playing style really brings this to life, dont think it suited chappers or lee so much, but still sounded good :D
i would love if you two made a video of your personal dream rig. like 3 most important guitars; 2 amps; 3 pedals and whatever you need and whatfor.
can you use a sound from the miku as your bleep, when you swear and stuff
You sir are a fucking genius
This is quite a magnificent idea, sir.
samleyf Rory - you have been told!!
that would be f**k*n hilarious.... do it...
Great little demo & Bea on the outro was the icing on the cake!
Lee must be putting in overtime, what a huge improvement in his playing this year.
This video in particular though. Very nice.
Once again they added an effect pedal to the amp that they are reviewing. Cmon !!!!!
I laughed more at this video than comedians online ones. Great stuff guys. Love your videos. I hate myself each time I watch them because im 45 and always wanted to play and never have. Guitar lover yet not player. Sad.
You guys are great, always crack me up. I have the BB preamp and it really is an amazing pedal
I don't own one of these (unfortunately), but I think that they are the best amps on the market today (pound for pound).
I'm glad to see that your feeling better Rob. Blues On....
Okay so I've started watching Andertons in the last two years and watching these "old" videos is absolutely cracking me up. They're like the adult version with all the jokes
That Philip Sayce riff Bea played is killer
Mark Knopfler was using one of these at the Albert Hall in May, it sounded amazing, like the best fender amp without all the noise
Loved that bit of Morning Star that Bea played, great sounding amps too.
God damn, 'Bea is such an awesome player!
Sounds great, you guys rock and the vids alway quality with a few chuckles 👍
Watched Greg play at the fender roadshow in Sydney last month, guy is a beast!!
Really amazing amps. I've had the good fortune to play through one a couple of times, but not the budget to own one quite yet! Also, I made exactly the same face as the Captain at 15:53. That lick and the tone were pure gold.
Rabea more or less convinced me to buy this amp, superb tone. Also won me over by playing a bit of Philip Sayce!
Well, I've an idea of what should replace Top Gear on BBC2 now!! You dudes! But please don't set fire to any amps.
lee's guitar in amazing.
i'm love with it
It never fails, when I need a good laugh this does it for me every time.....
Love seeing the modified guitars again!
I really enjoy Bea playing. Please feature him more often.
I know you guys don't do bass stuff very often, but could you PLEASE do a review on the new steve harris and/or geddy lee fender models? or really any bass gear at all for that matter? its so much more subject matter and would give a lot more variety to the show, while still being 100% relevant!
Well just the other day the Captain posted a picture of him with the Steve Harris bass on his Facebook which means they stock it, so it could happen
Chad Van Oostendorp that's where i got the idea from. that and being a bass player.
runeshark22 Chad Van Oostendorp Theyprobbaly wont do it on this channel... but they actually Anderton's channel does bass demos Andertons Music Co
I wonder what happened to that guy that used to demo bass gear and mics, etc. for them? I liked his bass demos.
Beautiful amp great tone one day "it will be mine "
Bea i such a great player, my favourite of the three, he always has something really cool to play
Review a Peavey Classic 30 guys! It's fantastic, Affordable, and a true working man's amp! I'd love to hear your take on it guys!
Ahhh... well that explains that! Thanks!
Bit of Timmons at the end, very nice tone!
Love these amps!
great amps ,review and guys of course
you guys are great, love the videos
I use the bb preamp with my Vox AC30cc2 as a lead boost and damn does it give you A LOT of "something extra." I'm definitely thinking about getting the Tone King. I've been looking around at several 6v6 style amps and I'm really liking this one.
around minute 10 you play THE Incubus Sound! Nice work. Keep it going!
Rob caught your gig in Nottingham, superb mate!!
That's exactly how I got coffee stains on *my* Blues Jr.!
Ah, Tone King. They're right up there with Two Rock and DAR for me. Choice amps!
these amazing amps should have been worthy of the Capt new 58 paul and some other tasty guitars-you have to love those amps-
that rabea impression fucking killed me
From the thumbnail, it looked like you guys were on The Price Is Right...
The Bea impressions killed me, haha!
very cool little amp although I can't imagine one getting much use out of the built in attentuator (other than at home in an apartment setting perhaps)given the 20 watt rating. Still I'd love to own that amp.
That amp sounds delicious:)
A comparison video between PRS SEs, Fender Strats/Teles, and other brands for around 5-6-7 hundred pounds would be awesome!
Damn the shameless plugin you did at the end
(oh , I just started the courses and subscribed to your chanell because of it) ..... :P
Rabea is just an awesome guitar player. You should do more demos with him playing.
using your modded guitars for this video! love it guys. i want to know what it is like to play a scalloped neck!!!
Captain you rock👍
Wildwood Guitars setup at Andertons just made my day! ***** you should start using the Imperial as your clean amp for the room instead of the Fender Hot Rod. Just sounds better to my ears
James Russo I agree, but I like the Fender Hot Rod & its a good reference for a lot of people. If I used the Imperial it would make everything sound "better" & people would complain that its only sounding good because of the £2000 amp!
CaptAnderton True, but then again Rob Chapman gets to use the Silverback which is no cheap amp haha
I look forward to Greg Koch (awesome guitarist!) plugging into The Captains butt and seeing what sort of tone he gets out of it...amazing amp!..
You guys rock
Bae is a badass player man. They guy is just on point. Solid, solid player.
The bass response is superb
The Captain looks like a mix of current David Lee Roth and Jeremy Kyle.
i love tone king amps but i just never have a use for a tremelo effect for my personal playing but it does sound choice on these awesome quite litteral TONE kings
I wish Anderton's carried Quilter so you'd get to review one. I have a MicroPro 200-8 and it's just awesome. Would love to see your impressions.
Nice to see the telecaster being used again! same as I've got!
I like the Rabea Stuff, with the hair'n all.
...And the Tone King is a Killer.:)
Lee, I hope you have one of these at home!
Great vid guys and but I have to ask how much better is this amp compared to a Fender Deluxe Reverb or other Fender amps its kind of trying to emulate. I understand the Tone King has the iron man attenuator and a lot of hand built parts but at nearly £1000 dearer does it really justify it's huge price tag? Still love the map though ;-)
Can someone tell me what that killer riff is that bea is playing in the musicism ad? Congrats to rob for the last pedal reveiw, sweet clean stuff and the captain for this vids playing, you all rock!
Rob Chapman when will we get the new intro sequence??? I MUST KNOW!!!
Sounds pretty good for an el cheapo amp.
great, great vid,I am laughing so hard Rabeas so awesome,thanks have a good day
As I said about Catherine Deneuve, this will be mine. But if I save hard, I could possibly afford this.
rebea for the win
Love to see bea playing some philip sayce !
Dear Chappers and The Captain, I would love a head to head comparison/review of a Fender Esquire reissue and a 2015 Gibson LP Jr. I'm looking to get one or both, but would still love to see this review done by you.
Thanks for your attention.
Its a lovely amp but, why on Earth is it £2000?
A little Andy Timmonds! awesome.
So Rabea's accent is a cross between scouse and Caribbean?
yorkshire and the lebanon i believe
Like those PRS guitars on the back wall . Perhaps a new model ?
bea rocks..
Been wanting this review for a long time. Sweet. Since I'm here, REVIEW SOME BASS GEAR.
please!!!! tons of bass gear from all around to review and jam out on! and andertons has a prety good inventory of basses too!
Unlikely they will (I sympathize with you, I play both bass and guitar) Lee and Rob are guitarists. If they do they'll have Lee and Dörje's bassist ( sorry I can't remember his name) would be there.
The actually Anderton's channel has bass demos. Jake Aikens Andertons Music Co
P.M. I didn't know that. Thanks!
This video is probably way too old to receive a response but... what kind of pick ups did you guys put into the Squire? (Classic Vibe ?) they sound great, Thanks David
David trueslayor there's a video of them modding the guitars. I'm pretty sure they'll say in that, just search Robs channel.
I owned a Sky King Tone King 35W 1x12 combo for about an year and a half. Great amp for specific types of vintage tones but not very versatile and didn't really want to "collaborate" with any pedal I tried in front of its clean channel.
Another disappointing thing is the fact that you pay quite a hefty amount of money yet you get an amp built by guys that work for Two Rock and not Mark Bartel himself. I wish I bought a Port City Pearl head instead.
I probably should not say this because there are different people that really enjoy different kind of music. But I am going to go ahead and say it. It’s nice listening to a person play guitar makes you feel good as if it has some type of rhythm meaning rather than just the person making their guitar Fart out garbage sounds.End it seems beyond all comprehension for me to hear that someone wants to teach people how to fart out meaningless garbage sounds from the guitar it just blows my mind.
Rob has developed a bad habit of interrupting Lee over the years. But let's not get hung up on the negative. That's a sweet sweet amp.
Kudos for finally mentioning Greg Koch in these videos. Without doubt my favourite demoer (no offence!) would love to see him in an andertons vid!
Bea I have no idea what it is with your playing but whenever u come in the captains face scrunches up like he just smelled something rotten! But the playing is so good I don't understand, is this something you will go over in your lessons??
if you place a BB preamp, or any preamp in front of this super luxurious amp, wouldn´t you be changing the sound of this amp to "imitate" since i am a newbie i would like to know why would you do that with this amp? I thought the entire point was that "vintage" sound that the amp has on its own, right? wouldnt this be sort of a blackface and a tweed amp all in one?
Do more shopping challenge plz do more
holy sheit from 5:08-5:31 now that was beeping funny
13:50.... yep..yes it is:-)
klingt gut!
I'm kind of fascinated with this amp - it gets saggy in such a nice way. 'spensive, tho. Nice that the attenuator can be turned off for the rhythm channel.
Bea fucking tears it up at the end
I liked the amp till you demonstrated the tremelo. To me the tremelo on the 65 Fender Deluxe Reverb “Limited” by Sweetwater sounds oh so much more pleasant than this one does. This one sounds like you’re just turning the volume on and off and is very irritating when it’s on the off position. But with the tremolo on the fender deluxe 65 River it is so so much more pleasant
what accent are you two trying to do for your Bea impersonations? I'm from the states so I guess it all sounds the same to me...lol.
combatRidders Thanks, I was thinking that they didn't really sound like Rabea. Cheers!
Rob can u do a sound like oasis For under £1000
They don't use amazingly expensive gear, I think
Epiphone Sheraton into an AC30 Harry nelson
+P.M. You could even do an AC-15 and get it about exactly at the $1,000 mark.
You guys should try the ibanez tbx150h it's one affordable and kickass amp
