The reason amp designers use 12ax7s is because the structure lends itself to the preamp section. There are two parts to an 12ax7. Also an ECC83 is a 12ax7 just a European designation.
If you get the chance they are awesome! Even the smaller lunchbox ones like this fireball. Also Synergy has an Engl module of the savage that is another great option!
Landon sent me and I’m glad I came here. Great video. For me, it’s a toss up between the Peavey and the Orange. I love the peavey for obvious reasons but the orange has a great bite to it. I want them both. 😂🎉
@southernpanda33 hello, welcome to my channel 😄 Landon is an awesome guy. I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I love the peavey as well. The 6505+ was my first tube amp ever so naturally I have to get the mini version. And the orange dark terror ended up being a used gem that I found at guitar center haha all of these amps are awesome, but for me the revv g20 I think is my favorite. Have a great day, and thank you so much for checking out my channel! 😁
Yeah, that really helps out. Personally, I'd rank them Revv>Mesa=ENGL>Peavey>Victory>Orange. Orange was pretty fizzy and harsh, Victory was narrow, and Peavey had that classic thud to it which I didn't love in this context. Revv was suuuper well-balanced sounding, I always love their high gain sounds.
Hey Kai, I hope all is going great! Really glad I was able to help ya with this video. Bothe the Revv and Engl are awesome amps. I do tend to get a bit more use out of the Revv. I just love the tones that they give us. And like you said it's pretty well balanced which gives alot of options. The Fireball is great too, but tends to be just mainly for Hi gain tones. The cleans are alright, but I'd prefer other amps for clean. But hi gain is where the Engl shines. Though be careful with the presence knob, because it's very powerful and it's easy to get too much harsh fizz in the top end. Thank you so much for watching! 😁
I'd say: if you're european buy the Engl, if you're american buy the Revv ...Unless money is no issue, in that case: If you want a gain knob to dial in overdriven sounds with your clean channel (without pedals) the Engl nails that, if you have pedals and want included Torpedo it's the Revv ofc
I agree they were both standing more out of the mix and sounding in front of the sound with more room The Orange and Mesa did too but in a very harsh way. And the Engl and Revv were too much swallowed by the rest. But inrespect you can also mix the other amps to be more then they gave here. And sometimes you might go more for a thiner and smoother mix sound.
Isolated tones I liked the Badlander and the Fireball most, but when you jam all the amps in the mix I liked them all!? I would say you can't go wrong with any of these amps so it's really up to what tones and features you are looking for. Great little shootout! \m/
Nice shootout! Very well done. The Fireball 25 is such a beast. I've got a roomful of amps but that one gets played more than anything else. Did you have the mid boost engaged? IMO. the 6L6 power tubes in the Fireball and Kracken put them on a whole other level compared to anything with EL84's or 6V6's. The Marshall DSL20 is another one with big boy power tubes that stands out against most lunchbox amps (EL34's).
Hey thank you so much for enjoying my video! I did not have the mid boost engaged. On the fireball I find that it tends to be too much to my ears. But I like the mid boost on the bigger amps. I definitely love all of these amps. Ever since my first lunchbox amp. I have a hard time going back haha they are so convenient and they sound great!
I think the Fireball is my middle ground from your video here. The Kraken seems super forward and comes out in the mix the most with the Rev Behind that. Never liked the Orange tiny amps. Thanks for the video man!
12AX7=ECC83 ECC83 is just the european name for american 12AX7 tubes ...unlike russian version 6Н2П (6N2P) tubes which are roughly the same but only allow lower heater voltage
Great comparison, i have non of them but looking to get one. I use a blackstar ht5 and dual rectifier 100w non multiwatt and tinitus is kinda near 😂. Very nice video dude 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying my video! Unfortunately I don't have much experience with either of those amps, but I've always wanted to snag a good old dual rectifier it's one of those staple amps it seems. Keep rocking on, and I hope the tinnitus holds off a bit longer for you! 😁
Yeah I can't disagree with ya, but unfortunately that's one lunchbox amp that I don't have. That and also the Peavey invective. Maybe one day I'll be able to get my hands on the MT15. Thank you so much for watching! 😁
Hey! Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying my video. I really hope this helped you out if you were looking into any of these amps. Also thank you very much for the subscribe! 😁 more awesome videos to come!
The higher the impedance, the less hard the amp has to work. You won't have issues using this amp with 16 ohm speakers, but you may have problems using one of the other amps on a 4 ohm speaker. Also tube amps use output transformers which forces a speakers impedance to be the same across at all frequencies, and that helps quite a bit. Most solid state amps don't use them, so the amps power output varies with frequency.
Well what I think is, A UA-cam creator that thumbnails' "The Ultimate Lunchbox Amp Shootout" And at the end, Doesn't have a favored choice or even an opinion on which amp performed/rated higher. For even his own primary needs, Maybe the title of the video Shouldn't "The Ultimate Lunchbox Amp Shootout"? Perhaps a more descriptive title would've been "Hey Folks Watch me Play my Guitar Through a Half Dozen Lunchbox Amps. ?

I just recently learned about the ECC83 being pretty much a 12 AX7 haha all good stuff to know
I've always wanted an engl. Maybe one day i'll be able to afford one.
If you get the chance they are awesome! Even the smaller lunchbox ones like this fireball. Also Synergy has an Engl module of the savage that is another great option!

This one came at the perfect time, I'm debating picking up the Revv or the ENGL right now

Does anyone play in standard tuning anymore?
😮. What is this Standard Tuning of which you speak?
No. Pride month is over now.
@@Alex-tm4th 😂😂😂
E standard in metal? What’s that?
What is that? What do you mean?
I may be biased because I own a Super Kraken, but the Victory wins.
I like victory amps.
I have a couple V4 amps I use in stereo and it is epic.
Haha that's alright! I love the tightness of the kraken. It actually surprised me a bit here.
Thank you so much for watching! 😁
This seems kinda incomplete without the MT15.
Yeah I can't disagree with ya, but unfortunately that's one lunchbox amp that I don't have. That and also the Peavey invective. Maybe one day I'll be able to get my hands on the MT15.
Thank you so much for watching! 😁
I have a Carvin V3M that I like.
I've never had the chance to check one of the V3M out. Might have to in the future.
Thank you so much for watching! 😁
My favorite lunchbox amps so far have been the EVH 3 and the Mark Tremonti MT15 from PRS.
Both awesome amps! Unfortunately I don't have either one. But maybe someday soon!
Thank you so much for watching! 😁
Ревв больше всего понравился, самые приятные обертона
Had the PRS March Armani amp
Try the e n g l iron ball special edition
Amazing video quality, well earned sub from me
Hey! Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying my video. I really hope this helped you out if you were looking into any of these amps.

PRS mt15 is made in China for the record
engl+massa!!!!!
which cab did you use for this demo?
This demo was a 50 50 blend of the Hairy Coffee IR and Scamp IR off of the Tue Madsen IR Pack from Bogren Digital
The REVV g0 would be perfect if it wasnt only 4 and 8 ohms
It's working with 16 ohm speakers too. You have to use 8ohm switch pressed. That information is in the manual.
@@dryzd Oh, good to know!!!
The higher the impedance, the less hard the amp has to work. You won't have issues using this amp with 16 ohm speakers, but you may have problems using one of the other amps on a 4 ohm speaker.
