They did a superb job on that amp. Had some great moments in-between dial in. "Why force in an OD when it's obviously not needed" is what I say. Great job on the demo Kyle.
Agree about not digging the klacky stringiness.
Eating chicken biscuits is good. Eating chicken biscuits while watching a new amp video is gooder.

Everything always sounds pissed in Drop C. Love it.
Jason & Shea did an amazing job on this one.
Those highs are probably because of the bright cap/s used.
Sounds just like every other high gain amp through Celestion speakers.
I don’t hate it! But it’s definitely not my bag anymore. If this amp came around like 12 years ago, I’d be all about it because I really liked that wiry, stringy thing back then. JCM800 type stuff. Once I got serious about recording, my tastes changed quite a bit and I started to favor thicker, drier feels.
Yeah.. nah for 3 grand. Buy a 5150 and a dual "rectum frier" both and still have some cash left. Good video regardless!
3 grand is right in the price range of SLO 100s, Friedmans, brand new Dual Rectums and JCM 100s. 5150s are a better value, but the 100 watt heads aren't that far off new. New 100 watt amp heads are expensive these days.
That's a solid tone. First I've seen one of these
I actually like the high end. If you wanna counter that use a compressor or an eq in front.
Love the collab! Look forward to more!!
Something real aggressive about the high end that I’m diggin actually
Jason is an amazing builder. His cali amp is awezome
Ossum
I feel like this thing would sit in the mix perfectly for down tuned guitars, and if using it for standard then maybe the pairing with the speakers isn’t ideal
Really cool that you got your hands on one of these. I'd spend some quality time with it, with various dialings to see if you can tame that top end. And if so, make another video.
Whoa, that is bright!
You’ve come a long way Kyle!! Congrats mister!!! 🤘🙏🇨🇦💪🎸
Complement zee amp with different speaker to get final tone. Get the high he search g for. I kinda like the quack
Congratulations on the acquisition Kyle!
An EQ in front might work to tailor the top end. Does it have a loop?
I'm sure it sounds incredible through some greenbacks.
I actually liked it with the treble almost all the way down toward the end with the Balaguer baritone. I find clangy tones to sound pretty good in low tuned mixes. Not exactly a 2010's metalcore sounding amp though. A little crispy when tuned to drop C or higher it would seem.
Anything that sounds like a 5150 is right up my alley ! Chug heaven with saturation !!! If that doesn’t cut through a mix, nothing will ! Love it guys ! Cheers
The sound you were talking about reminded me of when I single coil is activated. Cool amp though.
Yes sir you should definitely sink some time in on profiling some of those amps you have I have a tonex so I'm always looking for rare profiles I think it would be pretty cool personally
It does have a tight distortion sound that reminds me of the Soldano SLO. I'm not as unimpressed by the high end as others seem to be either. It may be a different story with active pickups but I think it would sound awesome with BC Rich guitars. I like it but wouldn't pay the price I'm sure it would cost.
Can't believe Kyle finally got a Dumble!
I got a Dumper
Haha
I have an open-backed 2X12 with a couple EVM12Ss in Burnt Tuna tolex.
Would love a comprehensive QC pack. This is definitely the only way most of us will get a chance to check it out. Great demo!
Solid tone. Am I the only one who was hearing the first 2 guitars sounding like the pitch was all over the place going sharp to flat pretty drastically? It was really noticeable on the silver burst typhon. Oddly enough on both of the down tuned guitars that was not an issue. And the last white typhon also didn't notice it either.
Hey Kyle, I was hearing more low ends when you slowed down and did that chugging riff so I'm guessing that wasn't built for really fast playing but some Vintage 30 speakers might also fix it
Probably needs a different cab. I'm sure Jason can build anything but his thing is modded vintage Marshall tones and the amp this was based on was a modded vintage Marshall that they fixed and then tweaked.
Would like to hear it with different cab(s).
Sounds like it’s got a little squeal behind it. Wonder if you got like a damage tube in shipping
This is definitely my kind of sound. Interesting to see rare stuff like this though.
Love this one a lot
Was really hoping for a Vader carnivore when you said rare amp. This club secret is so rare I’d never even heard of it. Sounds pretty cool though.
From your description i was almost sure it was a DAR FBM100. I know Perry from Ormsby guitars has/had one but the other 6 or 7 are still out in the aether afaik. Frederick from meshuggah didn't even get his, and it was his signature head!
That's what I was hoping for too, I commented similar above..!! I'd love to see a review of the DAR, I keep going back to Ola's playthrough on that amp, sounds glorious.....
If someone wants to send one, I'll fuck it all the way up!
Sold mine. Amp sucked compared to my others. Gimmick amp.
I think DL(ex The Acacia Strain) had one also
@@tobaccosun if you don't mind me asking, what is the gimmick on the DAR FBM100 that made you sold yours ? ..been dreaming to have one for years
That squeeze switch is probably diodes considering the volume drop when activated. Unfortunately I don’t have my headphones so going by the iPad speaker. It’s bright but I kind of like it. It sounds wild. I think it would mix well. It might play nicer with Creamback 65’s or greenbacks. Also a pre tube might be a little microphonic.
Sounds like a Telecaster trying to play metal.
accurate description
Man that is a bright amp. I’d take the presence and treble down to at least noon and play with it a while. Not a fan of amps that can’t give me a good starting tone with everything at noon. This one sounds like it would take a lot of work to get comfortable with. Good review 🤘🤘🤘
Kyle, are you sure that thing doesn't have a bad preamp tube? That squelching noise on the top end is awful! 😫
I'd be interested to hear you run through it with the presence dialed back to about 8 or 9 o'clock and then max out BMT and then set gain and volume to taste. Did this on my Bogner Uber Ultra and Game changer. Also set depth to taste as well.
ran the presence all over the place throughout the video, including all the way down to 9 ocllock on the dial, same with treble, didn't fix the issue for me
Hmmm I have to crank the presence on my slo clone for it to sound right too
Bro that amp right out of the box with levels at 12 was perfect
If something will sound good you will definitely get it there or die trying! Thanks for the vid!🎉
100% agree about the top end being too harsh. Great video, but the amp is pretty disappointing.
13:52 thats an interesting noise lmao
Oooof that tone with a TS infront.....
I was hoping that you would rip some sick thrash riffs off of a $500K Dumble amp.
Dumble amps have all the high gain you need!
My 30 band Klark Teknik graphic EQ would take care of that top end issue quickly. Honestly, with the EQ inputed through the effects loop, the sculpting is endless. The Klarks go for much less than they are worth these days, because most recording and live sound rigs have digital eqs within the consoles. I got one for $150.
With a 30 band EQ, you could make any high gain amp sound like any other high gain amp that has an FX loop. That's almost possible with a mere 7 band. 30 bands is crazy. But those things don't fit on a pedalboard.😁
I first found it sound like boosted JMC800 or boosted 5150 or both of them together don't really hear mesa on this😮
Holy top end, Batman! I'd be curious to hear this with speakers that aren't bright to begin with (v30s) Also sure a guitar with darker pickups would be good here which basically comes down to a lot of extra work needed to get what you want from this amp. 😬
Maybe some K-100s or DV77s
Would be interested to hear this and the Bad Cat Lynx back to back.
Kyle get a Matamp and try to boost it to a high gain sound! Would love to see many pedals thrown into it.
Ngl I’m fucking impressed with that out of the box tone.
It's only rock n roll but I like it !
That thing reminds me of a metal zone pedal. There is a horrible quality in there that can’t be taken out. It sounds like it needs a 6 band EQ in the loop to take out the gross frequencies. The gain structure is slightly chainsaw like too 🤢
Wow, pretty lively beast from the first note. Has to be a way to burnish that high end. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it...😯
Sweet, KB! Very f'n cool...
God I love drop A so much
holy shit there's so much texture
Dude. That's sick.
In a room with the boys this would probably be insane
Very nice sound ;)
You should try the LARRY DINO amp - the GREATEST amp ever made. 🤘🏼
Boss Katana is better.
3000 dollaroos! 😅😂 really does the down under tuning thing great ☺️
I think you are supposed to use Van Halen riffs to test a Headfirst amp.
sorry, it didn't come with a manual
The Atla could do that and pretty much anything else. It's my favorite hotrodded Marshall.
Secret is out HOMIE!!
Sounds like the Carcass Heartwork tone
That was a block letter 5150
I’d thought you were about to unbox a Cameron amp for a sec
16:06 that sounds pretty sick to me.
Maybe a parametric EQ to fix that top end? Or am I late to the party w that suggestion? Lol
That sounds fucking killer dude 👊🤯
Oof...that brightness is making my eyes water.
0:05 my life in a nutshell 🤨
Should of used your Engl 412xxl cab
Why
Thank you for the review, Kyle. The amp is alright but it’s hard to imagine overpaying 3k when you can buy real deal 5150s or modern 5150III for around a thousand.
Move the 57 further from the cone¿
Fricker could post process that and make those two pickups sound identical.
Shit man, that thing smokes!
Almost sounded like a tube was getting a tinge microphonic...
Kyle if only you still had a quad cortex & could get some captures 🥺
uh, I do? I even mention it in the video.
Oh fuck yes
The presence was dialed up almost all the way and like 75% of the way. That’s probably why the high end was that way.
watch around 15:30. presence dialed way down, high end is still there
How did you even get one of these, they were sold out before I even saw them lol
I know a guy that knows a guy
me too
Hell ya !!!!
That peavey Bravo that you are seeking to sell may want to think twice about, I think they will be worth money some day as they are James Brown of 5150 and now EVH iconic fame designed and they sound just like the iconic but more like Princeton reverb on clean channel. I love my little Bravo but it's lacking bass with the OG eminence in it. I'm going to test it out again the iconic 40 I just got. I'm to tired tonight to even pull it out of the box 😢
The Skeleton Key sounds way better than that.
Sounded ok to my ears. I guess it's good they only made 6 based on this review...
I’m not just being a dink but, to me it sounds like a metal zone.
Same high end you don't like here is what you don't like in the legacy haha
i hate to say it but..theres not much to like here. that top end response especially in the drop c part was just grinding on me..and it never really had enough mid detail. amazing builds and nice builders, but some 1 trick pony butique stuff just aint for us all
Try jabbing a metal coat hanger into the speakers. Nah j/k don't do that. :P
Sounds like an MXR full bore metal cranked through a shitty 10 watt combo
not a fan of this one but I think Jason is awesome
You just don’t boost Shea’s amps in general. I’m a boost addict with a huge collection. I also own 2 monomyths and never boost either of them. I can run the thunder and bass dimed and it stays tight.
Nice , but three grand mmm I DON’T THINK SO
Cool
Noice!!
Amp is so tight forget using a boost. Just going to thin out…
