I’ve always thought of “chewy” as having noticeable sag - the momentary compression after a picked note. I’m not sure I’d notice the sound just listening, but its very noticeable while playing, I’d say.
I would say we use crunchy a lot. Crunchy is edge of break up and abit brighter/harsher. Were is chewy would be similar but darker/more bass-y. This is all guess work and feel though. As most things with guitar are haha
I have a Cub III and the Reverb is crazy good, much more Fender like, so if they went back to the same tube driven spring reverb tray they used before with 12ax7's, then something was changed or it's not working the way it should.
If the same components are used there is no tonal disadvantage. Point to point is easier to work on for the average tech. PCB is more specialised even though pcb has been out donkeys years!! PCB is made really cheaply these days and that means the quality is not great hence the faluires and techs views on it. If you can afford point to point then fair enough. For us mere mortals, pcb all the way 😅
It really depends on the quality of the printed circuit design and layout. Some are terrible, not to mention difficult to service, but others excel, and are also more affordable.
I almost bought one of these. I played a fuzz through it and loved it, but I went with the Jet Black. Both are so awesome!
Congratulations on your choice. But what was the reason why you chose the Jet Black?
Got one coming this week!!!!
Sounds BADASS with the Les Paul.
John you need to put tag lines for the k line 59 lp, when you do demos of it so they are findable in Search engines.
Thank goodness he’s playing a tube amp and not a modeler.
Played the 30 watt model in a local music store. One of the best amps I've ever played, but way too loud for my situation.
Sounds really bright. At volume the cut would need to be apllied in spades!
Nice pleasing tone though.
Always really enjoy your playing with cleaner/lower drive tones
@@shanetx81I know what you mean, but Eric Johnson did it first and that’s who he is “mostly” emulating.
What that needs is a long tank like i put in my hurricane 😂
Is this the 40 watt version of the Cub V ? Sounds alright
It's the 15W version. 2 x EL-84.
@@SeaOfMadness
It sounds powerful , thanks .
I would like to hear some examples of amps where pedals don´t work well
A Blackstar Club 40 would be a good contender getting a good gain sound from pedals is pretty difficult
I know what most of the amp slang means, but I'm having a hard time with "chewy." Could someone define that to me?
My Electro Harmonics Qtron pedal has a "chewy" sounding gain boost to it. That's not a great answer but others agree with me on the description.

It's the opposite of choccy milky

Digital plate reverb would've been a better fit. It sounds very similar to my Orange AD30HTC.

Badcat amps have such clarity and depth. Matchless and Badcat are my favorite amps .
It's getting cold... 💙
People who believe that PCB-based amplifiers are somehow inferior compared to “hand-wired” or turret based amps are delusional.
I had Vox ac 30 with PCB board crack and it was expensive to repair . PCB is fine until it isnt.

Sonically or functionally are two different things. But thanks for being a part of the guitar community!
For hand wired it depends on who hardwired it.
