- What is The Amp? First and foremost, it’s a 50W Guitar amplifier. The preamp is based around a single 12AX7 running at high voltage in a discrete Class A circuit. The tube preamp reacts with a guitar the same way any tube amplifier does: it generates harmonics and the sweet sounding high fidelity tone that tubes are known for. Along with tube EQ. there is on-board reverb and tremolo effects so that The Amp can be used as a grab and go amplifier. But thats just the beginning of what The Amp can do.
I love how this guy is so happy to present this product. He's obviously very proud of their creation and it seems like he can hardly contain himself:-) BTH... 247 thumbs up and 1 down...
Yeah he's high on THE AMP
This is one of the coolest things ever. Bravo!
Maybe I will finally be able to afford a milkman product...
Finally someone that has done this right! Simple yet versatile. Loving it.
This is incredibly exciting! Such an awesome company!
This is such a great product. Amazing job man🙌🏻🙌🏻
That's really schweet! Great sound! Gotta have one of those in my guitar toy box! 😊👍👍🎸🎶
Congrats, Tim! This is what thinking ‘outside the box’ really means! (See? You’re not the only guitar-wielding pun slinger around! 😎). This is golden.🍯 All the best!! - JR.
no its an idea of the bluguitar amp1 :)
Just bought one. Cannot wait to get it
Stoked that this type of product is getting more and more popular. I'll highly recommend people who like this concept to check out the Bluguitar Amp1 as well.
Took the plunge! Ordered and counting the days until delivery! Cheers from Sweden!
@Anton: Is it loud enough to gig with?
the lighting makes the inventor look like an angel, plus the guy's consistent smile. Hope his product flies. I'd love to see a comparison with effect pedals that have tubes fitted in.
Can't wait!
The more I learn and hear this, the more I want it.
So very awesome !!
Sounds great!
Marcus. Nice job friend. I would like to know if I could run this direct out AND into an amp from the main out at the same time. On stage it would be fantastic that way. Also would it work "sound wise" with pedals AT the direct out? In other words whatever goes in would be output at the direct out,main, or pedal out? Thank you pal. Really. Fran
Sounds an amazaing solution, specially to travel.
such a great idea!
Pure genius...
In 70's we had Fender dual show amp, 2x 15" jbl, huge closed cabinet. Every guitarist should once's experience that sound ... 🤷♂️
Nice JHS selection on that board!
Eric Warheim makes amps now?!! Awesome Great Job!!
*buys The Amp only to get chippie in a box*
own it, love it!
Hi! I saw on your website,that's sold out.Will be continued? Thx
1:38 The tremolo has psychic powers and starts up before you even hit the button.
I love milk. And i love Milkman sound amps
Can you tell me more about the headphone output stage?
I’m a big fan of simple and elegant amps and pedals. Sounds awesome!
Please could you tell me what the thinline guitar is please?
That's James Deprato's Creston custom thinline with Lollar gold foil pickups. crestonguitars.com/guitars/james_depratos_ruby_gold_custom
I'm a truck driver. How big of a power inverter would I need use this in my truck?
Can I use my Ethos Clean Fusion II in conjunction with this amp live ..?
So I’m assuming that if it’s 50 watt for 8ohm it would be 25 watt for a 16ohm speaker?
Been debating leaving my amp stacks and DR at home for 'simpler, consistent amp platform' Think this may be it and I still have my giant Pedaltrain board to mount it on with a few pedals🤔
This looks like a great product!! Please be priced within reason...
Any plans to make a version with an fx loop?
You said it runs 50W at 8ohm and 100W at 4ohm. What about running it into a 16ohm speaker? Thanks love The Amp can't wait to get my hands on one.
It would be about 25W into 16ohms
Cool amp. Does anyone know the brand of that red Tele guitar at 1:46?
Interesting product. Can it overdrive with preamp-volume in high setting? Reverb and tremolo, they are digital? Any transistors with the tube in the preamp-section?
limerot I have exactly the same questions.
I believe the reverb is digital but the trem is analog
Beautiful, just amazing. someone knows how much it will cost? Thanks milkman
In Laurel Anderton’s have it listed at £799, which in my world, aud, is about $1400. It might well be worth it, but it’s really hard to wrap my head around an analog class D circuit costing that much. If it was A$5-800 I’d have already ordered one.
I know this is ignorant, but can a 16ohm cab work with this? If so, does that mean it runs at 25 watts?
Joe Max Denty yeah it does. Check out John from Premiere guitar’s review
great product;, milkman. What's that red guitar brand though ?
Creston
thank you !
Are there power tubes? Whatever you're doing sounds great btw
It's a hybrid amp, so Class D power amp :-)
Also explains why there's no need for switching between 8 Ohm or 4 Ohm.
It looks to me that one has to put pedals at the input of The Amp to use the power amp section and pedals connected to the Pedal Level Out cannot use the power amp section of The Amp, thus eliminating the pickup-to-tube connection if you want to use the power amp section with pedal effects. Was that clear? Either guitar>The Amp>pedals>other amplifier or guitar>pedals>The Amp>speaker.
That seems odd to me to limit the signal chain in this way.
key2Dhwy The pedal output goes through the preamp tube. I believe the power section is all digital. This is a hybrid amp. So you’d still get tune sound when using pedals after the amp
The sound at 0:55 actually sounds very dull, like a guitar into the sound card DI. I'm surprised you chose to use this clip since i know this is a great pedal.
I am so happy to see guitar amps being made for real world use. Usually the newer practical designs are "jazz" amps. Lighter, aux outs, etc.. But most of them are not full featured. The Quilter Micropro 200 is a good example. That is a full featured amp. I would like to see more use of the small military style tubes, like the one found in the "Blu Amp". Bass players got hip YEARS ago!. It is to the point now they have a great selection of practical amplification. What did guitarist ask for AND receive. Low wattage, EXTREMELY expensive bedroom amps, with NO features. Go figure. I am a professional musician. I want an amp that is versatile. compact, full featured, and loud enough to do most gigs. I do not think that is an impossible request. I love the sound of a Fender Hot Rod. But the amps only work for 2 months. Same with the 40 watt Vietnamese Marshall amps. At any rate, I believe this is a step in the right direction.
kckennedy55 Not a tube amp, but have you checked out the Boss Katana 50. At its price point, it can't be beat, in my eyes and ears.
❤❤❤
Where can I get that stand for the amp? :)
Does anyone know what brand of guitar that red tele thinline was??
Creston.
This is very appealing to me for small on the fly shows. One thing that I think would improve the product is if it had bigger knobs spread out across the top in the white space. Since I can see a lot of people wanting to put this on a pedal board, they may also want to make mid song adjustments with their feet.
I wish there would be a fx loop.
Why would it need an fx loop?
@@Tony-Jabroni Stereo fx between the preamp and speaker would be cool. It's amazing either way though.
I'm getting one...
I'd love see a demo with other pedals. It's enough for a pedal chain (let's say, a normal pedalboard with 7-8 pedals)?. How about the tone quality and volume? does it need a buffer?. Thank you
I agree let's see a demo with other pedals on a board
great concept but theres no sounds out there demoing the cabsim options or even used with an ir. plus it feels odd to have a trem and reverb and no mid control i would argue the control over midshipmen's is the most important thing with a guitar amp like this. idk just my thought.
I cant get over the cleans and reverb of my deville. I assume the reverb won't be exactly the same as that big spring tank, but will these cleans be comparable to a deville?
Sounds great!! I want this for Church! If you run direct to the board do I run this at the end of my pedal chain?
Yeah my dude, I run this for church & regular gigs. Think of it like an amp head without an FX loop, & with a few effects of it's own. I can't recommend it enough!
thanks!!! One more question… is the amp sim up or down?
how well does this do with pedals?
Milkman products exist are pedal platforms imo
I do love this thing, but I think it's priced a little too high for what it is.
On the XLR direct out into a recording interface, does this unit emulate a speaker or is there a need for an impulse response in the DAW?
Tom Bedford +1
Yes it does!!
In the PG NAMM piece on this, Marcus explicitly says there is a cab sim EQ on the direct out: ua-cam.com/video/b3RBXeuiy18/v-deo.html
Does the stand comes with the amp..? Otherwise please let me know where to get it.
Karsten Johannessen see au

Im getting this amp instead of kemper
I shall not be trading my Kemper for one of these in this lifetime or in any other.
Can anyone tell me where I can get the stand in which the Amp is placed..?
Try a plate display stand from Amazon smile.amazon.com/dp/B083JYM52W/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_tC8XEbSWA4952
Forgive my ignorance - so, to use this in a live situation you would either need to run it direct out or plug it into an external speaker?
C. R. Millett correctamundo
This is a good question... I am also ignorant
How well does it take heavy distortion pedals (Diezel Vh4 or Friedman BE-OD)? Demos please! - a traveling metalhead
Anyone want to buy my Quilter ? I want one of these (if it's not too expensive)
Now they need to come out with a bass version
Just put your bass through this
If I knew, I would have bought this instead of my Nextone Artist. I have enough pedals
Still have to carry a big ass speaker, so what's the point.
Rather Be Flying you can get 2 x 12 speaker cabinets that weigh 30 lb that's not bad and they sound pretty damn good. Matrix NL 212 DW Mark 212,
Neodymium speaker and a light cab can be super portable and super light
bluguitar amp1 ,,similer but four channel
Bill Rand bluguitar is much better. Power section has a valve too. Which is much better idea. Mercury edition is coming soon too
When is that coming out? I haven't heard about it
2nd half of this year is the latest,,occording to Thomas Blug prob be the autumn
Good idea but could be improved methinks.
How about a smaller footprint and instead of trem and reverb have TWO amps for stereo config,no foot switches needed.IE an amp that fits on a pedal board next to, behind or ABOVE the pedals so the effects and amps are a single discreet board for quick set up and break down.Most guitarists have lots of pedals so maybe better to focus offering the stereo option no other manufacturer offers - it's a GREAT sound having that stereo field and that would make it so simple for set up/break down.
There’s just not enough room for what you’re asking for with tubes. If the tube was removed, sure, but the tone and feel would suffer
@@milkmansound 2 - 12ax7's on top with two sets of volume,bass,treble,master using smaller pots.Lower voltage Xformers maybe say 50-120 volts on the plates would still be dynamic,besides modest tube compression would sound sweet would it not?Also 25 - 50 watts a side would be plenty through a range from from clean to a little dirt - the user's pedals would take if from there.It would KILL.My Big Sky sounds amazing in stereo but the set up/break down with two amps sucks.Thanks for the response though.
@@milkmansound Another .1-12ax7 each using a triode for each amp at the input stage for a clean-only sound that sounds good with a boost pedal feeding it.IE you get the tube benefit but need pedals for crunch.Stereo sounds SO GOOD,especially for effects users,hence why I'm this stubborn.It's like being in a soundscape.
z z sounds like you have a great design!
@@milkmansound thx but I'm only capable of tweaking my all-tube amps thanks to the Gear Page people who guided me..which,BTW, is where I heard about your amps (there's one up for sale currently so I checked out your website)My knowledge has holes in it.
700$ ...
$1300 hahaha
hey milkman , you say a "class D power supply" i am guessing you meant to say the power AMP section , or what drives the speaker and output of this device is of the CLASS DEE variety . now are you going to clue us in on what the "D" is short for .... psst here is a clue for all you guitar guys with your wallets open .... the "d" in class d is short for DIGITAL . i can not make this up , i can not tell a lie . its true . if you read the description it says " blah blah BASED blah 12ax7 discrete class A blah harmonics sweet high fidelity blah tube tone , blah tube eq reverb tremolo blah just the beginning ... because the REST of the story ,. where this thing is getting its 50 watts from is from a power amplifier which the designers who created it have chosen to refer to its classification as DIGITAL . now i am no fool , i am WELL aware of reality as i have been building and using my own class d amp rigs since 2012 , my whole band runs them. i am merely being 100 percent honest here , i LOVE class d amps . but i feel the average guitar player ( cover band shredder types ) would DESERVE to know what they are GASSING for , as when THESE TYPE of "people" find out they have been lied too or held back any , oh i dont know KIND OF relevant info ... ( this thing is class D for DIGITAL ) this croud tends to light up the torches and storm the castle with little to no forethought or restraint ... just look at the comment section and see the butt hurt from buying entry level modeling products with horrible presets ( although these units are a charm to program and tend to sound very good for pennies on a dollar prices) and 2 hundred dollar spyder combo amps from guitar center to get a sampling of the buyers remorse turned rage generating a virtual hurricane expelled via an army of mouth breathing hater aid chugging keyboard warriors who will summon up a lynch mob at the slightest whiff of anything related to the binary system faster than i could say pinch harmonic . there certainly is no A/D D/A as we are all accustomed to with the much hated line 6 , or other digital devices this is a class d chip amp . so be careful what you wish for guitar player joe with your dreams of all analog tube tone to compliment your gauges , hipster beard , skinny jeans , man bun and ironic tee . CLASS D does NOT stand for "dank" .
petey twofinger The "D" in "class-D" absolutely, positively does not stand for "digital." That's a common misconception, and people (including Captain Anderton) incorrectly refer to them as digital amplifiers, but there is nothing inherently digital about class-D. As with anything, you can have digital elements involved in controlling and such, but the amplification in class-D is no less analog than class-A or AB amps.
Does it sound MORE (or less) like a good regular tube amp?
