Captain Lee certainly leads the competition with the videos that show hoe you can get a sound without breaking the bank. I remember going into shops in the 70s and 80s and feeling like I shouldn't be there, Andertons really give me the sense of wanting to go there to get the chance to try out gear to get "my" sound.
tbh I think Gretsch cheap guitars are one of the best choices for beginners/somebody who doesnt want to spend ton of money for a good guitar. Great pickups, nice look and style, amazing playability
Gretsch G5220 is my 'cheap' guitar. After a good set up it compares well against my post £1000 guitars. So much so that I use it quite happily at gigs.
The Marshall is an incredible amp I’ve got the 20 watt head thru an old 2x12 Marshall cab with a Dane and a tumnus. Reverb from a hall of fame sounds epic . I’ve got the durple as well great pedal . But the Marshall tho at that price 👌
Yamaha Revstar and an AC15. £19 over budget, but a great rig with spring reverb and tube tremolo built in and a push-pull filter knob so you can get your cleans and drive just from setting the amp and messing with the guitar.
Fun demo, both amps sound great but the Marshall I think fits better with Sasha’s sound. It would be really interesting to hear both of these amps in stereo, though, both are doing very different things in the EQ. Bet it would sound incredible!
Great rig choice. I feel like that Gretch is a great value for money guitar and the amp just rocks, especially with just a few basic pedals in front of it. It would be nice for the next version of that amp to have a send/return for adding a reverb at the right point in the signal chain but I can understand why they didn't do that.
Fun exercise. I'd go with the Marshall DSL20, as it has a 12 inch speaker (instead of 10) and you could skip the overdrive, distortion and reverb pedals if you needed to. And I'd pick the Grestsch double cut in white.
Oh, those kind of waffles we also have in Denmark. We just call them 'Hollandske Vafler', which litterally means 'Dutch Waffles'. Remember first time I got those as a kid. They're pretty good 🤤
25:46 "ahh, I'm such a sucker for the look!" lol same! Of course, the quality of a guitar or amp is a huge factor, but I also want my gear to look nice lol
I just feel like most people misunderstand the Origin. It is not your typical Marshall gainstage, I suggest just diming the master, and then adding preamp gain. That's the way to give it more gain and thicker clean. Also the attenuator diminishes the sound quality. And, the fx send and return only work with the footswitch on. :)
Happy to watch anything with Sasha! I personally would HV tried the epi Les Paul special and a supro delta king 10. That would leave 70 for any of fenders new mod pedals or ehx wah.
A humbucker bridge and P90 neck gives a killer middle tone . I played a gibosn BFG les paul with a Burstbucker 3 bridge and a P90 neck and it was absolutely amazing especially in the middle Gary Moore played a BFG and it sounds amazing
It's funny with the orange amp, if you run the master volume fully cranked and use the channel volumes for the loudness of the amp, you will completely change the tone. You can also achieve that edge of break up sound on the clean channel if you do this.
Yeah I would agree with the amp to guitar ratio. Guitars can be setup and tweaked easier than modding or upgrading an amp. So the amp you get is what you get and that is a limiting factor for sure.
3:06 sarcasticlly says "ok were gonna get a squire classic vibe and a boss katana" lol for real though, there is a reason those choices are so common; you can't beat that value right there
Great sounding combination! One quibble though. I wouldn't choose a reverb at all. Reverb imitates the sound of a room's ambient echo. When you're playing at a venue the room contributes its own ambient echo. I'd rather have another form of modulation like a phaser.
I love the amp selection and that you went a different route with the guitar. You actually managed to make a video, that's been done many times, a tiny bit more interesting. But the pedal approach seems kind of narrow minded to me. Sure, Sasha may not know lots of affordable pedals, but only sticking to Tone City is kind of boring. At least spread across the typical known brands like EHX, TC Electronic, Tone City. The TC Plethora for modulation for example.
How high was the gain on that orange? I have a crush 35RT and if you really crank the gain up and put the volume on half of that you get a mean breakup sound. 10´clock on the gain is not going to get you there. more like 2 or 3 o´clock
I agree with his take on a rig... A good cheap guitar can easily be hotrod'd, but a cheap amp is the bane of all things! Backwards if you're new though, because your cheap guitar may come a little out of spec and if you don't know how to setup your rig... It's going to collect dust, especially acoustic.
I bought a Dinky Ht Jackson cause it had some of the hottest pickups in the store, they had more bite to em than guitars four times as much. Plug it in and turn it to ten.
The amp is the most important thing in the music chain/end. A great guitar player can make a 500 buck guitar, with good tuning stability sound like 5000 bucks.
The first video I saw him with Lee, he rubbed me the wrong way. Then I came across one of his demo video`s a month ago and after liking and subbing I noticed the name and said, is this the guy in the Andertons video. haha He is a Kool guy after all with a sense of humor.
Amp should always be the first choice, IMO. The unit that produces the sound, particularly the speaker, will make or break the sound. Same thinking as an audio system... good speakers can still produce good sound from a less than great stereo amp but no matter how good the amp is, poor speakers will not respond. Also, guitars are easier to upgrade if a pickup change is needed.
@@ElmarSprong yes that is true its just that at open mics I have found it better for me to have a small amp I can hear and which is small enough to cart about.
@@teodelnorte we may use pretty words like traditionalists but at the end of the day we are just plain old plain vain bastards, which traditionally focused “guitarist” would refuse a Dumble or even a Tone King amp, blind test shows just how much we are suckers not about tradition because once a brand new boutique builder is promoting and promising and charging high dollars we gas as long as it’s not being sold mid price we gas hi dollar we gas because it’s gotta be awesome if it’s cheap we might take a risk because nothing to lose but mid price items we steer clear from, but we continue to say tradition and that leads to stagnation in design in guitar, motorcycles, and other products we use daily, in my opinion
With the greatest of respect to Lee, I wonder why he invites guests for these kinds of videos, then talks over them, and decides himself what they would like? It would have been nice to hear Sasha say more than two words and talk about what he really wanted without interruption. Sasha is the musician, Lee, again, with respect, runs a music store. He tends to do the same thing with Pete. Let the actual musicians talk and play. Just a thought. A lovely day to all
i understand that you try to keep budget friendly according to the inflation rate it will be more accurate to buy the rig in 1500£ please if it's possible make such a video thank you very much
Love Andertons. But, there's way too much content for people that gig, not enough for hobby guitarists, imo. When they have done content for home use, they've said it's too quiet and almost slagged it off a bit. I would love to know what percentage of their UA-cam audience don't play live and have no intention to.
Remember when as a kid you would fantasize about being locked in a toy store at night? I fantasize about being locked in the Anderton's video room as an adult.
I like the fact that Sasha laughs an octave higher than the one he talks in
my man
Exactly an octave?
He laughed while plugged into Miku pedal.

@@El-Scorcho not you lol There was another comment,with some b.s. free give away.
Definitely have Sasha back cap'n. Great addition to your guest roster. His demo of a d'Angelico compelled me to get it
I love that multiple people have chosen Gretsch guitars on budget challenges. They are such amazing value for the money
Sasha is awesome, of course I’d love to see him back
Sasha is one hell of a tasteful guitar player and makes every guitar sound great in his demo's.
Have him back, he is a fantastic musician.
I like having Sasha on here. You should have him back for more videos in the future for sure.❤❤😊
Love Sasha! Bring him back!
Really enjoy Sascha’s vibe

Just found Sasha and he is just the best! Please more Sasha content!!!!!

Yes please Lee - Sasha is just an awesome, toneful player - great touch and dynamics.
Really liking these live rigs under £1000 videos 👍
Love the Marshall Origin series. I have the 20w top, it's ridiculously good for the money!
Yamaha Revstar and an AC15. £19 over budget, but a great rig with spring reverb and tube tremolo built in and a push-pull filter knob so you can get your cleans and drive just from setting the amp and messing with the guitar.
How does the bot know to only post on stupid comments? So good. AC15 isn't gigable.
Man...this guy is a great player. Headturningly good.

This was a very informative test and I definitely liked the tones from both amps! Also loved the gretsch!🤘

It has an fx loop

Actually wanted to know, whether buying a processor with a cheap amplifier is better or buying a good amp?

Stellar playing and tones all round, but does anyone know what shoes Sasha is wearing here? They look like Air Max 1's but a little different?
More Sasha please 😍
Shoulda got the 5150 Iconic 40 watt combo. I use mine for everything and it's awesome.
More Sasha !!!

The sound of the Orange is super smooth, but it will never cut through in a live setting in a band. The Marshall most likely will.
A decent Strat or Tele and a couple of pedals and it will .
If there is a PA then any amp with either a line out or with a mic in front would do the job..... Wouldn't it????
Yes but depending on the monitoring situation, it might be nice to have some stage volume
In a different way though, different dynamics
@@ElmarSprong yes that is true its just that at open mics I have found it better for me to have a small amp I can hear and which is small enough to cart about.
@@nekkon1989 yep I totally agree personally I have found the dynamics easier to control with a low volume amp. It was an interesting video though eh.
@@patchevansbrokencountry2583 You mean you're not taking a 200W Marshall with two 4x12 cabs to an acoustic open mic night?
Amateur
The shop I go two has a origin 50 and a Plexi type combo and the origins have a deep sound to em compared to the Plexi.
fkin love sasha man
the real exam for these amps would be volume level comparison. that is what is very important for a gig. which one is louder??
Did you not watch the video?
I always wonder why the 10w Blackstar amps don’t get any love.
I have the 6l6 and love it
Guitarists are traditionalists! Generally people stick to the four big guys: Fender, Orange, Marshall, Vox

Bring Sasha back, ask him to bring more shirts, do a fashion and guitar shootout
Both amps and use a switcher 😁
Or run them wet/dry🤪

That's a very cool guitar
Here’s my Under 1000£ gig rig
Ditto looper 89
Spark 64
King of blues 70
Squier Contemporary HH ST Jaguar 369
Bugera V55 Infinium 359
More Sasha.
curious..sasha never uses the little finger on left hand
i understand that you try to keep budget friendly according to the inflation rate it will be more accurate to buy the rig in 1500£ please if it's possible make such a video thank you very much
If you're playing in a band, the Origin will poke through the mix better, judging by the samples.

The candy was was funny 😆
But didn’t basically Lee chose the rig?
Kinda felt like Lee picks a 1000.00 rig and Sasha picks options. Meh.... I'd have liked to see what Sasha picked without guidance/interference.
We need Sacha and Pete videos
Sasha is heroe
This was more like Captain Anderton choosing a 1k rig with the help of session musician known as Balkan Pete Of A Thorn Variety.
Try a live ampless rig under 1000 ie digital🤔
Marshall all day and night
brilliant 😂
joyo bantamp series, 100-150€, unbeatable in that price range IMO
One thing that keeps surprising me is that Boss Nextone doesn't get any love in these videos. 🤔
Remember when as a kid you would fantasize about being locked in a toy store at night? I fantasize about being locked in the Anderton's video room as an adult.
It would be nice to actually hear the sound of the amps as they sound in the room rather than through a mixer.
50 watt katana with a footswitch and a prs se thats all you need spend the rest on some good weed for creativity
