👆 Before you buy your next modelling amp, you must watch this video!
We discuss & demo the best selling modelling amps of 2016/17, and whilst we focus on some of the bigger modelling amps, you can also use this video to help you decide which of the smaller modelling amps would suit you too. We programmed each amp to get us our favourite clean tone, break up tone & hi gain tone.
And once you've decided which one you like the best, do us a favour & buy it from here :) www.andertons.co.uk/

We don't use any pedals in this video - all the sounds you hear are from the amp, using the FX that are built in to that amp. The amps are mic'd up using the same mics & we don't process the audio to make anything sound better than it really is. If you're wondering why we didn't include amps like Orange Crush or Marshall MG, its because they aren't digital modelling amps.
Thanks for watching & please comment which amps you liked best & why.
Cheers
Rabea & Pete

Samuel Deroubaix grazie
I corrected one. Would you be kind and tell me the others mistakes? (But politely this time, PLEASE). Or, feel free to copy my comment, then correct the wrong timings that you've spotted, and past it. That would be more interresting than being insulting, You impolite man. (and, beeing French, please excuse my english)
Samuel, Men are always polite. Great job.

@@Wickedsensations2001 If you really want a £250 amp.... put just £0.70 in a jamjar every day.. the price of a bag of crisps... then buy amp. It will take 1yr.. but you won't miss the money, and you'll appreciate it more when you do get it. Simplez.
Ironically for a company who's amps are synonymous with driven tones, the Marshall had my favourite clean tones.
Agreed.

It doesn't even look like Pete touches the strings when he plays. So smooth and a pleasure to listen to.
This is by far one of the best reviews Andertons has ever made. Why? Because: it is simple, it goes straight to the point, gives enough information, the amps compared are fair enough, and you put two great guitarrists that play two different styles using two different styles of pickups and guitars. It is really helpful. Great work guys!
You are making my Modeling Amp Choices so, so much easier. I believe that I have watched and listened to you two at least three times easily narrowing down my choices. Almost there. Watching all the good parts at least one more time...
Very informative. Always casting all of Andertons video to my living room TV to see what ya'll have for us. You guys help out the guitarist community a lot. Thank you guys and keep it up.
Great vid, guys. Very informative. Not gonna lie, though. I prefer when you're each give your pick and explain why in these shootouts.
You guys seem like the coolest bunch to hang with! Pete has such a great unique sound when he plays, it makes you want to listen for hours! I would absolutely love to come visit Anderton's given the chance. Even though I live in the U.S., I would take the time to fly over!
Of ALL of the People who do this, I would have have to say that you guys are the best. You actually have genuine reactions to each and every amp in different ways plus you actually realistically go over pro’s and con’s of each amp. You all really helped and assisted me in narrowing my search down. Keep on keeping on
Right! It gave me an opportunity to hear them on and make my mind up.
Such an enjoyable time watching you two play! holy crap.
I also wish you'd give your thoughts about each one - I find that very entertaining and helpful to compare my own views etc.

PS Thank you Pete, Bea and the crew for this shoot out and all the reviews. Keep 'em coming!
Holy crap that strat is gorgeous.
HNNNNgggggg. Do they take wives as trade-ins? Just kidding.
Kinda.
I'm not usually a fender guy, but I want that strat. Literally. Currently looking to buy one.
Really enjoy these two guys demos, nice to hear some clean tones also, great playing, keep up the great work..
Fantastic video! Introduced me to other choices, I did not know some of these models were available. Keep up the great work guys!
I've been perfectly happy with the Fender Mustang I got when they first came out. It certainly won't replace any of my tube amps but it's great for gigs. Well worth the money IMO.
Great video guys. Thumbs up.
As always, you guys are killing it. Thanks this was useful and fun.
Love hearing these guys just noodling around. Loads of talent between the two of them.
I run a Vox amps group on Facebook and the VT vs AC debate comes up about once a month. I own an AC30C2 and an AC4C1-12. So I don't have much information to offer about the VT line. I shared this video in my group because, 1) you guys always do a great job of getting a good tone from the amp to be captured and recorded for the video. 2) you guys always have excellent information about the product.
This video will be watched by a lot of members of the group, and will answer a lot of the questions they might have.
I wish the demo on the fender Mustang (clean) didn't end. truly blissful.
I'm impressed that you guys still play extremely well after a full day of shooting video.
Awesome video guys! Pete and Rabea are amazing, great demos and explanations for all of these amps! I would love to see a small tube amp shootout from you guys, something like 1×12 Tube combos. Another cool video would be an overdrive pedal shootout!
Thanx for that video. Pete & Rabea are really amazing guitarist, the chord progressions of Pete are amazing and the right hand of Rabea is killer. Thanx for all that great videos.
I think the VOX sounded the most tube like. Its the best all around. Love the Tone Room App that it comes with as well.
Just got mine, amazingly close to an All-tube Vox.. Tried both side by side
@@BladeDoomer86 Awesome, I've just ordered one. Looking forward to it :D
@@formulajuan5762 Great! Subscribe to the Facebook group too, you'll find a lot of info there. Also, did you try it first? It's always a good idea before buying an amp, so many choices!
VT or AV I cant decide and have no dealer close by to try any. Any suggestions??
@@kip_san VT by far. The AV was a big big disappointment. The gain channels on that amp are horrible.
The only modeling amp they don't talk about and might be the best in the Peavey Vypyr VIP2. It's certainly the best for high gain. Also the Positive Grid Spark. I got mine in two weeks. Not sure why everyone else has had to wait.
Now that's how a Review should be done . 2 guitars that are polar opposites of each other. starting out soft and kicking it up a notch each step up. . I'am in the market for an amp in that size and a PRS. I got the most out of this review. Thanks Guys . 2 thumbs UP.
Really enjoy these videos featuring the enigmatic Bea, such a gifted well rounded authentic individual/guitar player with such a great ear. For demonstration purposes, his style and demeanour offers so much . Great presenter, great musician, remarkably versatile guitar player who really stands out.
One of the best videos on this channel. Well done lads
The Blackstar Core...friggin awesome. Tracked one down when they first came out because I love my Fly 3 and Core 10 and REALLY liked it. It sounds really, really good, especially for the money.
I love my Marshall Code 50! I returned the first one because I did not understand how to set it up. I hated that amp! The second one is exactly the same so I spent time figuring out how to use it. At first I hated it too! But after spending time learning how to set it up I now have the best clean sound that I have ever heard and it comes out of my Marshall Code 50. I am thinking about getting another one for stereo. Either that or the 100 watt head ans 4 x 12 cab. I'm sure the Code 50 will hold up it's end in a stereo configuration with the 100 watt head and 4 x 12 cab.
I also love the JCM 800 sound from the Code 50. I had for many years a hot rodded JCM 900 with a Full Stack of 1960A and 1960B cab's. The Code 50 set to JCM 800 is real close and that coming from a $250 amp is amazing.
I like my Code 50 so much that even though I am addicted to shopping for another new amp I can't bring myself to purchase one because I have my trusty Marshall Code 50, which I know sounds better.
This immediately goes to the top of the Andertons videos!!! Man! If I heard this at a music concert I'd be glad I had laid my money down! In addition to the very well done comparison (going through clean, crunch and high gain on both single coils and hum buckers) there is just some astonishing playing. Two great players going back and forth, each spurring the other on to new heights. Unbelievable! And unlike some videos that get stuck in high-gain mode only, this one covers everything from tasteful to lively, to set on fire!
Been waiting for this video FOREVER! Thanks guys :DD
Rabeas an amazing player, but Pete is a fucking monster! Where does he get these endless streams of licks and orogressions? Amazing, genuinely amazing
He has easily become one of my favorite guitarists.
Hard to place my #1 by listening online, however fantastic job guy's - great playing - Rabea showing his jazzy side, seems Pete's tasteful playing is rubbing off - all good.
I was so glad you put those bloopers in because when Rabea said that in the video I lost it and couldn’t believe y’all didn’t laugh. The bloopers were hilarious.
To my ear, the Code had the best clean tone with the Strat. Really gorgeous and lively. I have to get a Code as a backup to my DSL.
These guys play so well that if you can get a sound out it then they can make it work. Just goes to prove that it's always more about the hands of the player.
*Brain
I recently purchased a VOX VT40X and I couldn't be happier with it. I tried out a few of these amps in store and found this to be the best sounding with the most options.
I ended up going with the vt20x. It's plenty loud enough and tons of features. Also I love the vox look
Tone libary thing isn't on android otherwise it would be a no brainer
I love the Mustang III. I have it as a home practice amp. The preset tones are fantastic and there are lots of clean tones that take pedals really well.
Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to see! Great video.
I really liked that Blackstart TVP amp the best. Im might be getting the 260 TVP 2x60-watt 2x12" Stereo Combo Amp
Have been a long-time user of vox vt40, but that fender made me think about my life...
The Fender is surprisingly good. I've had it for a while. I don't gig it but I do take it to practice and play it frequently at home. Very good amp. The Fender cleans are superb. The overdrive.... meh expect for the super sonic model. The super sonic model actually kicks serious ass.
Just bought the vt40x, but the fender superchamp x2 was a very close call.. If you're still looking for a new amp, try it in store, very cool tube amp
Great Video guys. These are the amps I personally was comparing as well. With your video, I narrowed it down to 3. The Marshal code, The Boss Katana and the Blackstar Id core. I really like the brown sound on the Katana but I also like the looper on the blackstar as well as the clean stereo sounds as well. Ugh! I guess I have some more thinking to do. Marshall clean and distortion sounds were both great as well. Thanks again
Nice video. Like the Katana and the spider as well. Blooppers were great at the end.
Pete looks like if Johnny Depp and Ricky Gervais had a lovechild
6:12 - 6:48... Pete you're a FIEND!! Amazing!
Very good video and great energy considering how long it must have taken. I want all the amps now
Thanks for the review. I would have liked a sample of each playing the same thing for comparison, but this is better than watching 5 or 6 30 minute videos
Pete plays the nicest chords. I need to get me some of those hands
Pete/Rabea...great job. I know you said the object was not to say which one is the best but the last time Andertons did a shootout of modeling amps, Chappers and the Captain actually rated each amp on a number of qualities (sonics, feature set, portability, etc...) and came out with an overall rating and ultimately each of them laid down a marker and said which they preferred. I would think that would be a great part 2 to this shootout and very helpful for those of us trying to decide between the current slate of modeling/transistor amps.By the way, I would not call the Boss Katana amp as a modeling amp because it really has 4 different preamp channels and then a bunch of effects you can layer on but maybe that's a matter of semantics. Final aside, I had the Marshall Code 25 and hated it. Sounded tinny and majority of presets were gimmicky and awful.
Extremely impressed with the sounds of the Code.
Funny watching this, as I just got my choice through the post yesterday..(sorry Andertons, this time from one of your German competitors...You just didn't have one in stock!!)
Anyways...last week or so..I watched all the reviews and read all the user manuals..
In the end I went for the Katana 100.....For its clean simplicity....and for me, the bonus of a dedicated acoustic amp..I'm pretty impressed so far....in fact I still haven't got past the acoustic channel!...greater things await methinks ;)
BEST. SHOOTOUT. EVER!!!!!! Bea and Pete are so damn good and funny!! Cheers guys!
Jake Adelman Thank you Jake. And you are very welcome. P
You guys need to do an Axe FX 2 vs Kemper vs Tube amp blindfold test. Not to see if you can tell the difference, but to see which you like more.
I loved the Blackstar TVP 15w when I got to try it at my local guitar shop :) I normally use the Axe FX II but this little amp was really good!
I've been using a Blackstar ID Core Stereo 40 (at home only) and I just love the sound. The clean sound is very good and all the effects are quite usable. The delay is particularly well done. The only downsides: you can only store one set of parameters for each of the basic "voice" settings; also there is no real tone control on the amp (though one of the 2 clean voice settings emphasizes the treble). It's pretty amazing for such an inexpensive unit. The warm-clean tone setting is delicious.
The Super Sonic amp model on the Fender Mustang is amazing! I'm using it instead of my Blues Jr!! Peace
Yes the super sonic model is the best one of the bunch on the Fender. It's very good.
Winner of the clean tones goes to the Vox. It also has some nice crunch tones as well. I think the ID Series TVP was the best sounding overall. Liked the Katana too, but the TVP was the winner.
much thanks for including the 'skip to'''. I'm sure so many appreciate it!
GREAT VIDEO! I would really like to see a Shoutout of hibrid amps, like the AC30VR and so on. I haven't seen many videos regarding hibrid amps around. Cheers guys!
About a month ago - after much deliberation and careful vetting - I pulled the trigger on the Boss Katana 100 1x12". For me, it came down to the Boss vs. the Blackstar ID:60 TVP...in the end, I decided to save the $170 USD and roll with the Boss. I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. The Boss, while deceptively simple at first glance, can be *just as deep and tweaky* as any of the other amps, once you hook up the Tone Studio software via USB. However, if you *want* to keep it straightforward, the physical control panel is the most elegant and no-nonsense of any digital amp out there. Additionally, the EQ, Presence and Gain controls are incredibly sensitive and can dramatically alter the tone just by themselves.
This is an awesome video comparo, which definitely reinforces my decision to rock the Katana! Kudos to Rabea and Danish Pete for the tasteful playing/demoing of each unit! Cheers!
How's it holding up two years later? Would you buy one again if you had to?
Rohan Jangam I’d be interested to know. I just bought the exact same and very happy with it.
The Blackstar is doing a really good job.
Thanks guy for all the hard work. It's appreciated!
Pete testing the nice sized box.... lovely!
Awesome video guys!
Can someone tell me what books I have to study, what lessons I have to learn to sound like Danish Pete?
I trully LOVE his slow jazzy chops. Amazing vibe!
the danish voice accent is best achieved by speaking danish language as much as you can. Then mix this up with a sloppy brit speaking and you will get almost there sounding like danish Pete. Maybe a tongue piercing
will be helpfull...
Fantastic info - helped me settle on an amp - even 2 years after you made this! Thank you guys!
Got the Blackstar ID:30 after hearing you say that your Dad has it. I love the amp. Best and great demo guys. Thanks.
Y’all should do a 2020 version and include whatever’s new as well as PV!
Pete and Rabea are easily the best players on these channels. I'll watch them play anything with strings.
A guitar duel and an amp shootout. Awesomely great video, as usual.
Bea is great, love Pete, so effortless. looked this older vid up as I have the early Mustang 3 and thinking about upgrading, or going to just a combo and add pedals (Blues Junior III for example).
Please do a small tube amp shoot out. Bass Breaker, Blues Junoir, Vox Ac10, etc
Noah Hambayi the tweaker15 would crush all other options. Just saved you a video.
I think the mic was overloading on the Marshall, shame I have one and it sounds outstanding, I love the plexi model
I've been looking into most of these amps since I wanted a 50watt amp. And I really liked how the code sounded so I found one massively discounted so I just ordered the code 50 since I found it for $130. So I hope I'll like it.
Ultimate Practise amps shootout (like the one from 5 years ago but revisited!) cheers!
You guys are such great guitar players!
Would've been nice of you guys to give an opinion, even a subjective one.
I was going to post this same comment. In past shootouts they've always offered their opinions, and I like that because they get to hear the actual amps in the room and we don't. UA-cam's audio is decent, but its still compressed with a very low bitrate.
Exactly. Obviously they are not going to say that one is shit and we should absolutely buy the other one, but in the shootouts they usually say "I really like that one better" "This one is great for the money" etc.
Thx..no need to watch 50 min video without even an opinion.
Totally agree. Everyone can look up features and specs by himself. Pete and Rabea should have picked their personal favorite, otherwise a shoot-out doesn't make any sense.
Thank you for saving me 50 minutes!
I've owned the Blackstar ID:260 tvp for quite a few years now and i loved it since day one. Just literally so many great tones and such a versatile amp. Great video guys!
aleh baba when was the update released?
Sean Ellis I LOVE the 260TVP. I'm not a digital amp guy, but when I played I was floored! I too didn't know about a new update, hell I can't even get my computer to recognize it when I connect it, so an update doesn't matter lol
Sean Ellis id260 is a cracking amp, i wont get rid of mine. its in a different league to any other modelling amps ive tried.
Great review!!! They're all really nice, especially for the money. If I were in the market for an amp in this price range, I'd be taking a closer look at the Spider V or Katana.
Damn Pete's playing on cleans is sooo tasty. Bea's high gain is cool, too/
The Vox VTX series is amazing, probably the modeling amp with the best sound (well, second to the Fender Super Champ)
Just bought the vt40x, but the superchamp x2 was amazing... I might have bought it if it had an attenuator! It's loud..
@@BladeDoomer86 no attenuator is the exact reason I sold mine lol
Some of us would even like to get inside em all. Great Job guys!
Great video thanks guys! you should do the same video with helix, fractal, amplifire, kemper and bias amp!
Ok. This what I was waiting for. I'm going with the Katana.
Did you get it? Tell me what you think about it?
Rohan Jangam I bought 100 watt head and matching cab about a month ago. Very happy with it, it’s a must to use the software that comes with it. Can totally sculpt your tone.
Hi Bea,
Hi Pete.
was about to say the same
was about to reply the same
was about to bring about communism
was about to communist the same
What boring comments zzzz
Thanks for posting this Andertons, great work. IMHO the only thing that could've been done a bit better was to have the same licks played on every amp, it would be easier to compare them that way,
I like the vox. And marshall code. The sound out of that fender strat. Is so awesome. I love it. Id buy her in a heartbeat.
Please do a shoot out of mid priced guitars such as PRS SE, Chapman, Some of the Gibson stuffs, Ibanez, Fenders etc.
Basim Saif I doubt that they would give an honest opinion. chappers does own chapman guutars
Hi there. Great video. Although i think i miss here Line 6 Amplifi and Paeavey Vypyr. What do you think?
Hello Pete and Bea. Nice demo there. Many times during this video I forgot you both were using modelling amps, just enjoying the sounds. For usability (and "expandability" (scalable)) I would probably choose a Fender Mustang, without getting worried if it was gonna be plugged before a bigger amp or after a smaller one. (and the same logics using other stompboxes added to it).
"Legobility", amps that go Lego (knowing about non-comutative effects order, aka, order is important).
I also feel weird if big spiders or bats move around. (a 4-inch bat flying and squeaking was enough to make me search for the first restroom available and lock myself for some minutes, using the restroom just as a safe cabin... now I just get uneasy for a moment). Fortunately, those critters are only common in farms or countryside cities.
I feel pity if I see a spider or bat critter corpse, though (and I would throw one towards girls to laugh right after, but I would apologize for the kid stuff and say that it was just to break the ice - though I know some would get upset for a couple of hours)
Look!!! A spider there!!! (I have a plastic spider figure that somebody gave to me some time ago)
(...) Line6 wireless thing is interesting too.
Cheers!!!

Thats more like it guys , no OTT looning or heavy widdling about , good partnership and helpful comparisons of the different amps , lot to take in but it shows how very far these companies have come,not a duff one in the bunch .
Just rewatched this... I just realized P...eat is playing a limited edition Opal white Strat. Beautiful looking guitar.
The most awesome kick ass modeling amp I've ever heard and I've tried a lot of them is the original Vox Valvetronix amp that was released alllllll the way back in the early 2000's. it's 120 watts. It has a built in power attenuator because it sound better when you get the pre amp tube cooking a bit just like a real tube amp. So if you turn it down to 10 watt mode you can crank up the volume and turn down the master volume hence it's really does sound quite tube-ish. It's got some of the best sounding built in effects I've ever heard. The distortion and overdrive sounds are excellent. I bought the amp for about $1500 new at the time. Had it ever since. It's pretty old now and breaks down once in a while. But I'm telling you this amp is the shit.
Jeffrey Haefner my old guitar teacher used one, it was literally the best amp ive heard under 3000.
juan alvarez right??? I show up to gigs with this thing and other guitarists look at me like I'm from another planet.
What would be the model number of one of those? I have an old Vox AD50VT, is that in the same range? I think it might be slightly newer.. I am looking to upgrade it to a Boss Katana.
Got one for ya bias rack vs thr100hd. Great vid thanks and keep em coming.
Can you do this again... and update with the new models of these from 2 year ago? Great video, very relevant.
Bea you look amazing :-)
You're wheight loss is incredible!!
***** I think he is still huggable ;-)
maexle01 no homo
great video, but again you left out the peavey vypyr pro 100 .... a VERY big big popular modeler line since the vypyr gen 1's guys !!
You two are such a great review-duo! :)
Mikko Havukainen I
In addition to these I highly recommend checked out the Peavey Vyper VIP series. They have a multitude of amp models in clean, slightly crunchly, and and crunch modes, some basic instrument modeling, built in tuner, USB out, aux in, a plethora of built in effects, and are quite affordable. While incredibly versatile I must say that good tones can sometimes be hard to dial in and while many instrument models and effects are fun you'll more than likely not use them often if at all. For the money though I believe they are fantastic and if you want a good at home practice amp, want to play in a lot of styles, and don't want to spend the extra money on pedals I don't think you can go wrong with one if you're on a budget.
