Love that you break into some Dokken and then DLR Knucklebones. My favorite tune from that album. Amp sounds amazing and your playing is incredible as always. Cheers!
I love that when you review equipment like amps or modelers, you don’t just recite the specs and leave the settings flat to ‘show what *_it_* sounds like.’ Instead, you actually try to dial in good tones to show what it *_can_* sound like. I really prefer that style-it makes a lot more sense to me, haha.
Cheers! I hate watching videos where people are just fiddling with the amp and not playing anything. People should just dial in their sound before hand and show off each channel at it's best.
First off, you’re playing is on fire, as usual. As forBlackstar, there’s something flubby about the tone, even in the tight position. As for this particular amp and most other amps overall, the EL 34’s sounds better to my ears.
you're rocking the dk24 i see...😊😊.. i think i've decided on the so cal snowy white with black pickguard... Charvel Pro Mod So Cal Style1 HH FR SW is my cup 'o tea...😊😊
@CameronCooper I got the same one recently and I love it too. I am not a fan of the white pickups though, swapped mine for black Duncans, it looks like my old PC1 now. 🤘🏻
@@CameronCooper Like an idiot I have passed on buying one several times..and that Amber finish is one of my all time favorites..will try again soon and Thanks for the excellent video and playing.
I think the idea is to set the volume of each channel to your taste so the tone is right for you and also so the volumes are in proportion with the channels. Then you would use the one master volume to govern the overall volume
@CameronCooper I get that, but a second master would effectively make this an 8 channel amp with a solo boost for each of the 4 channels. An absolute dream without having to mess on with effect levels on outboard gear. My old Engl Screamer had a solo level function which did exactly that, 4 channels with a solo boost for each channel.
The beautiful thing about this amp is that will do pretty much any sound you'd like within reason. I dialled in the tones that wanted and I prefer a clean channel to have a little break up. I also can't do the traditional mic to cabinet in my current set up
How do you know it needs adjusting? Some people say their amp needs fixing when in reality there's nothing wrong with the amp, they simply don't like the sound of it. Not saying that's you, I see this comment a lot about amps in general on my videos and people wasting loads of money repairing amps that aren't broken.
@@CameronCooperI wasn't necessarily complaining about the sound, just making a point about serviceability. You have to go through their certified techs for any service (which could be non existent in certain areas).
There should be a reason why a regular 100watts head weights 25 kg. And listening to this video I much prefer to lift a higher weigh instead of playing with this "thing" that is not even able to achieve a decent clean sound. It distorts like crazy. Clean to me means...well clean. The transformers inside this Blackstar sucks and it's pretty obvious. Ohhh but it's light 😂😂😂

What do you want for Christmas 2024? 🎄
A Cameron Cooper charvel signature .
Better vibrato
I want to be able to take next week off and not have anyone from work call me with an “emergency.” 😂
skill
One of these heads now! Lol

Great review (and playing)! Thanks
I like it and I love that you Carmen showed it to us I swear you get better every time I here you brother
Didn't expect Shinedown - Cry for help as your opening riff. Nice surprise 👍😊
I love The Sound Of Madness. Probably one of my favourite rock albums
Wow...the tube style switch......killer!!!!
Gotta love the OD2 tonal option.
I’m going to have to give this one a go! Nice work!
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Peace on Earth 🙏 Merry Christmas to all
Dude’s playing is CLEAN…
Grande Cameron !!

Yeah, I hate videos where people are just fiddling with the amp and playing a chord or two. Dial in a sound that shows off all the channels.

I've been watching many of these new Blackstar amp videos and have to say im very impressed. That sound we all striving for.
First off, you’re playing is on fire, as usual. As forBlackstar, there’s something flubby about the tone, even in the tight position. As for this particular amp and most other amps overall, the EL 34’s sounds better to my ears.
Probably can be rectified by dialling in a different sound using Cabrig.
you're rocking the dk24 i see...😊😊..
i think i've decided on the so cal snowy white with black pickguard...
Charvel Pro Mod So Cal Style1 HH FR SW
is my cup 'o tea...😊😊
The DK24 FR seen here is my favourite guitar of all time. Nothing comes close to it
@CameronCooper I got the same one recently and I love it too. I am not a fan of the white pickups though, swapped mine for black Duncans, it looks like my old PC1 now. 🤘🏻

It's a little fizzy for me. Sounds exactly like an old Carvin V3 I had
Yeah I felt the same way. Reminds of the old Carvin amps. Which is not awesome.
Maybe that's the sound I dialled up. This will do whatever you like though. I just dialled in the tone I wanted to use for the demo.
Shame it hasn't got a second master volume for all channels, then it would be perfect.

Sounds pretty fizzy
Cleans? What cleans? Not for one second do I hear a valve tone. Everything sounds super thin and fizzy IMO.
Great playing as usual though.

What are the speakers in the 4 x 12 cab?
Celestion vintage 30s I think. But you're not hearing the cab in this demo at all.
A lake domain album.
Amber still your favourite?
Absolutely
I've got a blackstar that needs bias adjustment. Every amp tech within 50 miles said they won't touch blackstar. Think about that before buying.

Can you sing through it ?
I can't sing so no
Nice! But I'll stick with my Amped 3. It's probably even lighter!
at almost 2 grand better be good.
It is still blacksturd crap 😂😂
I agree, thankfully it is really good!!
A bad tradesman blames their tools right, John ;)
so its light jvm😂😅
I'd rather have a light JVM over a heavy JVM
@CameronCooper me too:-)

It does a clean sound perfectly well. I dialled the tones in to suit me and what I'd do with this amp if it were actually mine.
made with cheap parts in china
And it still sounds fine for me.
