The Artist TweedTone 20R Amplifier Live Play Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Is the Artist TweedTone 20R loud enough to gig with? Absolutely! I'm totally digging this Artist TweedTone 20R amplifier for jam nights. I love the fact there's no need for overdrive or distortion pedals. The drive channel on the TweedTone 20R is about as good as it gets.

this is the way all demos should be done!!! a small studio demo with a live performance!!! this I great!!
Cheers man. I think a huge percentage of the guys that make guitar videos on UA-cam don't leave their bedroom. I am going to feature more live stuff this year because it's where the gear counts the most in my opinion. thanks a lot mate :-)
Wow you guys sound amazing!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 Personally, I appreciate how take gear that you review and use it in real world situations. When you do live streams, I noticed how often people ask you how certain pieces of gear sound and whether it’s worth buying. You have one of the few channels here on UA-cam that people can get an idea of how something sounds/works in a climate for what they were made. You and everyone in the band sound great in the clip I’d love to hear more of the jam!!! Cheers Shane!!!!🎸🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
I was pretty tired on the morning of shooting this video so apologies for my voice 😂 apologies for my chops too for those wanting heavy metal 😳😂Check it out click here:

Everything is Good Shane R & R
Damnit Shane! I only play 1920’s flapper style big band Jazz music. You NEVER attempt to demonstrate how well the gear produces vintage 1920’s jazz tones. Terrible reviews...smh...
intheblues seriously though; this was a blast to listen to. Nice playing all around, and the amp sounded great.

The more I play my Tweed Tone 20R the more I love it. These things are unbelievable value and fantastic sound and volume.
Anyone who has the chance to buy one of these would be nuts to pass it up.
I hope that your amp is still functioning. Mine died after a couple of years. This is the problem with cheap Chinese amps.
I fully support the idea of showing a product in a live gig situation, it's a rare treat; after all that's where we're gonna use them. Thanks.
I thought I'd pass comment on my experience with my tweedtone 20r. I bought a customer return from the uk suppliers for cheap!. This was purely on the back of Shane and Brett Kingmans demos. It sounded great in my studio but I've only just used it in band rehearsal at gig volume. Firstly, I swore I'd never but another el84 amp as they can be spiky and harsh. Also the same for the 70/80 speaker. As Shane says, "it just works" and really well. For a cheap amp the circuit in these little things must be well designed. In a nutshell. It's well made. It is loud, but controllable. It has a great reverb. It has a genuinely great tone which works well for pedals and its light. I wholly recommend it as a go to rock, blues or country amp for any situation.
Thanks Shane. I can only echo what other viewers have said. It’s great to hear this amp in a live setting. I’ve traded in two big powerful amps recently which I’ve had for years for a Tweed amp with modified valves. In the home practice setting it’s terrific. I’ve even managed some pinched harmonics. Thumbs up from me about your endorsement.
The vox 15 watt amp was what most guitarist used back in the day. The vox 30 watt was not needed till all the screaming girls came along. I don't see any screaming girls, so I think you will be fine with 20 watts. Lol
My main amp is a 65 VOX AC-15, with a tube rectifier; it's louder than a 45-watt Marshall DSL-401, which I got rid of; I don't like the fizzy sounds of Marshalls. My other live amp is a Peavey USA Classic 20; some tunes require both simultaneously.
Awesome ! I had the chance to buy a 60's AC15 from a local guitarist who had had his 15 mins of fame back in the day , touring Britain & Europe in the back of a Commer van etc lol...18 years ago I thought he was taking the piss when he asked £400 for it. Silly me. 😑
Yeah, 15 watts and up is fine for most situations. If the club is big, they're going to have front-of-house support anyway.
Great tone and great band. It’s super fun to hear you doing vocals, too!
This is a great look-see at the Artist TweedTone20R. Thanks Shane!
these are so good. I bought one recently after owning the 5 watt version. these are all you would ever want. after I bought mine I have been recommending them to everyone I know, just like you are on this vid
That’s great! You have a great combination of the SE and the Artist, the drive sounds like a great rock tones suitable for a lot of songs. Regarding the blues jr, I’ve not understood why it is so popular, and mine didn’t sound bad but was just adequate. I like the circuits from the tweed and blackface era. I guess we all have a guitar and amp that is inspiring to each of us. And don’t apologize for your playing, your chops are great, and I wish I could play riffs and fills while singing! Jealous! Peace thanks
that was great! loved at 5:10 when you all came in together
This is the kind of blues we had in Chicago back in the 80's, & I appreciate it demoed live, that's what I've been basing my channel on, real live gigs, a good gig or a bad gig, it's still worth posting up if it can help someone out there, great video & great performance Shane !!!
Great stuff luv to see the live stuff, + you made the Drummer and the Bass player smile !
No apologies necessary for those chops Shane. There's plenty of shredding you-tubers out there if that's what anyone wants to hear. Very nice playing and that little amp screams. I'm glad that there's an affordable amp that sounds great for you players "down under",
Awesome jam Shane!! Really loved it!
First video of the day here in the states. Wish that amp was available here. If it is i cant find it. As always, love your playing and especially your honesty on these reviews.
Thanks Toney! 😄
Love the live tests. These matter more to a perfomer than any other demo.
glad to see no pedals doing an amp review ..thank you
Great to see you on live action Shane! Great presentation, the amp sounded full and round, just the way I like! Keep the good work
Thank you kindly!
Very Tasty Playing and great musicians all round. The Amp sounds Great
I'm a sucker for a tweed amp. If I could source one of these locally I would. Great playing Shane. Glad I'm not the only one that can't ever find his tuners...
You are right, it sounds really good for blues rock!
Great stuff as always, Shane - sounds like a terrific little amp and I think the live gig samples provide valuable information to your viewers. By the way, it's great hearing you live and I for one would be chuffed to hear more of the same 🤘🤘🤘
Shane,that sounded fantastic and looked like you guys were having a ball!Great to see that you don't need a million dollars to produce a wonderful sound and enjoy yourself.Keep the live gig vids coming.Luv e'm.
Shane, two for one. Great live test of the map a fantastic mini jam. Love to see Tubers actually demonstrating their skill. Makes you and your opinions way more credible. Great job.。👍🐨🇦🇺
Good job Shane, the Amp sounded Fantastic and so did you! Keep up the Good Work Mate! I LOVE IT!!!
My main takeaway from this: Is the Fender worth double the price for the tag? Based on what I heard I don't think so. The Artist has a footswitch available, too. Digital as opposed to tank reverb is only noticeable to other musicians. As a working musician I'm not playing for them, anyway.
Thank you for setting up a practical, real-time live situation. Thank your friends as well. They're all fine players as are you. This amp along with a TC-59 I just purchased will take care of every need I have. All the best from this side o' the ditch. 🇳🇿 🎸🎶👌
Fantastic jam man! You guys are tight! It was great when the bass player looked over at you and smiled when you cranked it in that last solo!! Thought I saw you step on a pedal once or twice (or maybe not)? What was it, a boost or something? 🤙🏻😎🎸🎼
No pedals just tapping my feet. Thanks Craig! 😀
Sounded really great and cut really nicely in that mix
Excellent tone- great licks- great vocals
I've found that the drive circuit looks like some kind of tube screamer, there's also a status led inside the chassis for the drive channel!!?? I've built a foot switch for the drive channel with an effects loop in it, in that loop I put a black Star LT Dual pedal
It works like this, set the drive channel for your lead tone ,when you select the clean channel it switches in the loop with the blackstar in it which is set for crunch and a different lead tone if required, you get four switchable
Sounds this way, I put a blue LED in the footswitch for the drive channel too!
Wow, that sounds amazing!! As always, love your playing. I'm hoping you get your hands on the new Fender Bassbreaker 30R for a review. I'm looking hard at that amp and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Thanks for the live demo! Loved the tone and hearing it in action. What pickups are in your PRS? The neck sounded so much better than the 85/15's I have in mine.
I think it has a solid state drive circuit, I've opened mine
Love the videos of you playing live with a band
Wow , great jam , good gig with those guys for sure .I dig it . Shane man , that amp sounds great !
Thanks mate! 🙏
I didn't get a notification for this! Sort of miffed at UA-cam but happy to see your video by accident. Keep up the good work Shane!
Great tone, great playing, and...great singing.
great tone great playing think i will add this amp to my collection. did play this amp once and thorough it great. your playing is coming on. playing various styles improves your over all skill at guitar. will contact you in the future perhaps demo my new brand of guitars.
Got mine today in the USA had to wait 6 months for the amp to be made and to get here by ship. So far playing at home a nice clean sound I play Strats & Teles with pedals so I love the clean side. Came just in time for my gig tomorrow. I'm going to play some more with it see if I get the right tone for tomorrow or I'll bring my Supro or Ampag but they are just 15 watt I like this 20 watt Artist so far.
The live jam clips certainly help to show what a piece of gear sounds like in "the real world".
Sounds good with the 70-80 and PRS ceramics. Not brittle or fizzy .. very nice!
Man you killed it at the end there shane !!
Interesting, you haven't been a fan of the celestions, but you really like this amp and the Marshall DSL 40. I think something happens when we crank our amps - our ears just love it. Very good video . Perhaps a live performance with this amp using the Tele would have also been interesting as the tonality of a PRS can fatten things up. I enjoy your playing. Thks.
Yes! Nice!
littlecrowguitars thanks 🙏 😄
Sounds awesome Shane. Great playing too.
That amp sounds wicked ! (And looks cool) The band's wicked . The recording is superb also . 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot mate. The audio was recorded using a ZOOM H1 recorder it seems to do a much better job than the camera audio. :-)
Amp sounded great Shane and the band was tight. Nice job my friend. Cheers
That lick at 3:22 ... Shane makes that amp sing!!!
Great sound great playing as always ! Cheers mate !
Love your channel man
great sounding amp. But oh did the stars align y'all sounded amazing Great job Sir :)
Awesome !! More live stuff!!
Great Live tone .....nice saturation without being tubby or flubby or stiff ......perfect balance mate ....Cheers \-/ I wish i could get it here in USA apparently Artist doesn't sell these in US
Wow sounds great... After an amp for small venues like pubs etc. Its a toss up between the artist tweedtone and the marshall origin.. i do have pedals so will be pedal platform to some degree. Were playing blues and classic rock.. which one would you choose. Shout out from the UK . You have a great channel
Cool sound Shane!love that PRS SE and yes on Lefty👈🏼Is there any chance you’ll do a review on the GibsonLesPaul junior 2018 limited edition???
That is a great live band sound there. The Artist TweedT 20R is preety damn good.
This amp sounds great! Awesome playing too!
Now, this amp sound very good
Wonderful video Shane. Awesome playing guys. I really like that amp Shane but I wouldn't buy it because there is no FX Loop. I like a delay in my FX and a OD in the front of my amp. Blues On....
Great vid, great sound , great singing too...
Hi Shane this is a great sounding amp and the perfect volume for the average gig however, reliability lets it down for me. I’ve bought 2 and returned both due to a meltdown of the output transformer.
Great stuff Shane !! It’s a keeper !! Any chance you can do a review on your top 5 Caline pedals ??
Cheers !!
I will see what I can do 😄
THIS. Seeing and hearing gear in a live setting is SO much better than in a studio, plugged into a computer with tweaks, edits, and retakes. Great job on this one. Do they have this amp in the states?
GREAT job! We DO need to hear amps and guitars in a real live situation. Almost all demo's of gear sound pretty good on You Tube in a room nicely processed thru whatever. But to hear gear on the job is the way to go. Thanks for this awesome demo! How do you like the amp now?
Great video, great little amp. How does it compare to the Monoprice 15? Also want to second that request for a review of a Bassbreaker. TY
Straight forward and easy to listen too. Always relevant information here and that's why I like your channel. I'm curious here - How does it stack up against the Bugera V22? I would love to see a comparison.
I had a V22 very briefly before selling it to a mate. He loves it but I MUCH prefer the Artist. The Artists feels louder to me but I've never actually had the two in the same room.
That amp sounds killer !
Thanks mate. It’s a beast for the price! It holds up great with amps way out it’s league.
Well, your playing sounds great, but the amp and guitar are also great. You sound inspired by your tone.
Love this kind of stuff. That was quite the little amp stack you had behind you, were you running into any of that, or was it just for looks? ;)
Ok I'm sold..
Definitely sounds great Shane.
Any chance you're going to swap out the speaker for something more "American" sounding? Be interesting to hear.
Great sound on heavy blues sounds , how good and sweet does it sound on clean sounds ,as I am a country /Latin influenced player, can it cope .
You dialled up a great live tone there, Shane. I'm guessing your watch helps maintain momentum during vibrato😝😁👍
It's tough to carry the ensamble but you did it well!
Great video mate, Just bought the hss strat in Blue, amazing guitar for the money, see if you can get one ; )
I really wish someone like yourself that I trust would do an honest review of the line6 Firehawk 1500
ROCKIN' \m/
Go Shane o'!
Sounds great a little on the nasal side but still good. Thanks for sharing
That's that tweed mids thing :-) Thans mate.
You should really try and pickup a Vox AD30vt if you can. They can be had for around $120 now and they are an amazing tube amp that will rival most you have reviewed. Always find them in pawnshops!
I was thinking of getting a new combo, a Vox AC15. But now, seeing as Artist Guitars are nearby where I live in Sydney and have always been good to me, I reckon this could be the one. With or without pedals (I likes using the preciouss pedals) it seems like its well-voiced for either approach.
I love the NYC shirt Shane. Blues On.... PS So what speaker are you putting in it ?
I am leaving the 70/80 in there right now I can't believe it. haha. I just got home from a Trio gig and it did a great job so right now it's staying stock. :-)
Great little amp, nice fat tone!! Cheers Shane!!
Love your reviews man, my go to when looking at gear. Was curious if you have played the new Nextone amps? Im curious about them vs the Katana as my go to home practice amp. Would love your take on it!
I haven’t tried one yet. I’ll see what I can do 😎
Reviews I've seen are that its overpriced and uninspiring.
Sounds great, where can I buy one in the USA ? Cheers !!
Wondering how will sound with a greenback 🧐
Great sound Shane ! Which jam is this ?
Hiya all !!!!! I have one of these, and it has been my gigging amp since I have had it,.. Why, because, it is lighter, and at the moment, it sounds better than my other two famous name amps. True. I do have a suggestion and question for Shane, should not ALL guitar amps be mic-ced thorough the PA., no matter how little the volumes are? Either get a long lead, or the Xvive Wireless, and walk around the room. Which ever amp you are closest to, stops you hearing all the other guitar amps. This doesn't apply to drums or base guitar. This is an obvious fact. For example, last Sunday I used my un mic-ed JCM, and standing on the other side of an acoustic, would you believe, I could not hear myself, in spite of turning up a fair bit. The acoustic was ID-ed of course, but if I had been mic-ed, it would have come thorough the PA and all cool. I have played in a lot of places where, with big stages, the guys spread out, and one amp just drowns the rest, depending on where you stand..
Very cool 😎
Interested in the way you have the master up full but the channels down lower, do you feel the tone is better? Better gain/distortion sound? Interested in your thoughts, and is it loud enough for a say, a RSL gig? Lou
Awesome very mformative
Does the company ship worldwide?
Great demo!!
Nice
This amp is perfect ^^ But they shippe it only in UK ??? I'm in France and i can't buy it... is it normal ?
Nice! That tone on the lead starting at 2:56 is really great. So this is just the dirty channel of the Artist 20R right? No OD pedals?
BTW, hang on to that drummer. What a great sense of dynamics... that's hard to find.
Hi Spencer,
No pedals just the amp mate. :-)
Shane
3:22 is where the groove gets going!
Hi mate. How would the tweed 20 compare to the blackstar studio 10 6l6. In your opinion.
Cheers.
