Gary Moore had a killer high gain sound. When he went into more of just the blues, he definitely carried his tone with him. I have had blues "purist" tell me that my tone is too metal-ish. I just point to Gary and if they still don't get it, I hit them in the head with a small grapefruit. It makes a great squishy sound when it makes contact
WOW!!!! After all the shit I've received for the way I recorded the audio on that video it's really nice someone appreciates it. Thank you B Bel_ZZ. You ROCK!!!! 🤘 Cheers, Jason
Impressive recording setup for that review. Thanks for posting such great demo Jason! I wish you were working for Ishibashi when I was spending most of my time left in Tokyo music shops a few years ago.
Thanks Fred. That's very kind of you to say. And yeh, I'm not into the whole smoke and mirrors trickery that some people use. I enjoy this stuff just being honest. If you'd like to see more of what I do and what's happening here these days, as well as if you would ever like to have me ship something to you where ever you are in the world these days, please hit LIKE on the English Facebook page that I run for Ishibashi. facebook.com/IshibashiMusicJapan Cheers, Jason
Rick Peeters Thank you Rick. I'm happy to know someone appreciated my hard work. Please let me know what you think if you actually buy one. I'm still waiting for someone who's watched this to tell me what they thought of it for themselves. Trying something in a store and actually owning it are two very different things. I have both the Heart Attack & Purple Wind as well. In case you're interested, here is my demo of the Purple Wind: ua-cam.com/video/FRkUyhTgwec/v-deo.html
Hi Jason, thnx for your reply, nice ;) I am quite saturated with amps Marshall/Fender/Bugera heads + combo's but as I am a guitar(amp) geek all stuff on the market is of interest to me. So... if I compare the HOTONE series with 1/5w tube amps, the sounsquality > price is unbeatable, here I am convinced. I do have tube amps but I certainely NOT believe that tube sound is superior to transistor/MOSFETs. In the 80's I proudly owned a Session Sessionette and THIS was a rockin' baby without tubes... I owned a Marshall 800 series (or was it 900?) and to me it sucked... so, what's in a name huh? So... if the Good Friendly God (Or Allah or who ever) throws some extra £,$,€ or bitcoins to me: Hotone it will be... => I buy a lot of guitar pieces directly in China and discovered a lot of funny, interesting unknown brands ... :) => Wishing you all the best my friend, stay in tune ... :) RICK from Belgium
+Rick Peeters Hey Rick!!! Give us the names of those "funny interesting things" you bought in China! I'm also looking for new solutions for guitarists sick of tlaking about walls of cabs and back-breaking tube amps
+Claudio Sarra : For that Claudio you really should look at these little Hotone amps on a mini scale. Otherwise you should check out the Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister series. Sure, they are not "cheap", but still for their price they are fantastic value for money. I just checked and on the back it says, "Designed & Engineered in Germany". They may actually be "Made in" China for all I know, but they are DAMN good!! Just a thought.
Claudio Sarra Hi, I found a lot of nice(priced) stuff at Donnerdeal.com. I like the quality of EYmusic.com as well... There are a lot of businesses like this ... :)
Toastied, it is pretty loud for a small amp, but that could be a little tough. If you were playing with a LOUD drummer then no chance. However if you set the amp & 4x12 behind the drummer then it might be ok for jamming, but still it's not really designed for that purpose. It's more so you can get that big sound at a small volume to practice with at home.
Actually it just sounds like the audio is out of phase, when I first heard it I thought you had a phaser or a chorus going on. I think a 180 degree phase shift would make it sound less Metal zone/bees in a can
I believe you're correct. I made this video 6 years ago and it's too late to go back and do anything about it now and unfortunately UA-cam doesn't allow you to correct things like your own audio after the upload is completed unless you wish to do a whole new upload.
Jason, great video, and that little amp sounds huge! The little speaker boxes look like they'll make the perfect 'desktop stack'! I enjoyed your honest and no-nonsense review- a welcome relief in this day and age when eveyone is hyping the latest doo-dah gadget. I visit Tokyo once or twice a year and will definitely find some time to visit the Shibuya store. Kind regards, Reg
Reggie Clayton: Hi Reggie. Thank you very much. It makes me very happy when people truly get where I'm coming from with my videos. I personally own a Heart Attack & also a Purple Wind and I love them both. It's soooo hard to get those huge tones without the huge volume. These are a fantastic solution. Please be sure to stop by when you're in Tokyo and feel free to message me ahead of time on Facebook so I can make sure I'm here when you come in: facebook.com/IshibashiMusicJapan Cheers, Jason
SMILES...heard you mention Garry Moore of THIN LIZZY......and I knew I was in the right place! Of course, I became a Proud Subscriber when I saw the video of Alex Lifeson in your store a year or so ago.....Thanks Jason....always a Rocking Good time watching your selections of video postings!! GOT'S TO LOVE A GOOD HEART ATTACK....CHEERS
Thank you +The Stuport. And today is exactly 5 years since Gary Passed away. He was my absolute number 1 Guitar God. I always said that ever since I first heard him at the age of 13. Thank you for enjoying my work. If you'd like to see more you can check out www.jasonmcnamara.net Cheers!!
Ishibashi Music English UA-cam Channel Thank you very much for the hook up to your internet site!! Much appreciated!! I also wanted to share with you that THEE BEST COCERT I have ever seen was back in 1976....I saw Thin Lizzy open for RUSH and you can imagine what a show this was....both bands just simply nailed it that night!! Gary Moore was an outstanding guitarist and i'm blessed to have seen him live and in color with his AXE! I look forward to more of the treasures that you unselfishly share with YOUR FANS! Cheers Jason from OHIO
Jealousy doesn't even come close to describing how I feel about the fact that you saw Rush & Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy in your lifetime, let alone on the same night!!!!!!! If there's ever anything you wish to purchase from the website please hit me up directly on Facebook: facebook.com/IshibashiMusicJapan Cheers!
Ishibashi Music English UA-cam Channel Thank you Jason for the hook up to your Facebook page...VERY much appreciated AND I have a ton of co-workers and friends who are already going to your sites...the feedback is tremendous here in Columbus, Ohio! STILL THEE BEST SHOW I EVER SAW...You were there Jason along with ALL of The Fans who dig Rush & Thin Lizzy! Cheers!
Had no idea we have a following in Ohio. Very cool. Well I'm listening to Sevendust right now while I'm commenting here so I enjoy mixing it up a bit. At least I have seen them live. Haha!!! Seen lots & lots of great bands on great/classic tours, but Rush & Thin Lizzy is something I really couldn't beat in a "My Best Concert Showdown". The closest I've got is either Metallica on the ...And Justice For All tour, Aerosmith on the Pump tour or Megadeth on the Rust In Piece tour. Oh, and I was at the Steve Vai gig when Orianthi famously opened up for him in Adelaide, South Australia in Feb 2000 when she was only 15 years old.
thank you, very useful demo. I apreciated the fact that the mikes are placed in stereo, at audition distance, not in studio recording position. it gives you a lot of info about the real sound of the amp and cab configuration. wish I could see this used more on demo videos on youtube, done profesionally, like in your video, not from a flimsy camera mike. maybe it would not be a bad ideea to try this amp/cab on the floor, too, eventually with a wall closer behind and in a smaller space - for a touch of more bass, and for a more home/bedroom lifelike sound, because the huge room in which you are is far from the real situation in which this amp would be used. though, I have to admit with admiration, this amp/cab holds it well in this huge space... but I would also have wanted to hear much more of the headphone/recording output sound - it seems to me it has cab simulation on, and I really am curious about its usefulness. congrats.
85percentcocoa Nice comment and input there. Thanks. The best idea I can give you to learn about what more this little beast can do is to simply buy one. They are not expensive. If you can't get one in your country I can always ship one out to you where ever you may be. If you do want to purchase one you can email me on jason@ishibashi.co.jpAs for your idea of the space for the demo, that would be cool, but here in our store we don't even have a space like that I could do that in unfortunately.Cheers, Jason
No. But if you own any kind of Headamp you can connect the Send of the HoTone to the Return of your Head. Like this you have a Mesalike Preamp played into a powerful poweramp with more high-end frequency content. Type "Lasse Lammert HoTone" and you will understand what I mean. You can also have a look at the JoYo Zombie BantamP. Same concept like HoTone but 20W output instead of 5. Should be OK for practicing, the Joyo, although it's hard to know for sure. Some transistors are equally loud at the same wattage, some not. The Hotone definitely would be too silent.
***** If you are coming over here and want one please either message me through: facebook.com/IshibashiMusicJapan or email me: jason@ishibashi.co.jp I will do my best to make sure I have one aside for you when you come in. To find the store from the Shibuya train station, this should make it very easy: ua-cam.com/video/2UO5vIOe0X4/v-deo.html Cheers, Jason
I've been asked this many times. It's loud for what it is, but it's not meant for that. If you were looking for something like that, the new Vox Nutube MV50 is the way to go.
I'd have loved to see this with the gain all but gone to see exactly -how- clean it can go because the gain was still at about 7 when you did the "clean" sample. Don't get me wrong, I love me some metal... just curious before I pick it up.
SinSchism: Thanks for checking out my video and for your question. The answer is: If clean is of any relevance to you, this little monster is not for you. I tried, but it simply doesn't have a clean tone to speak of. However for balls to the wall gain, she's a dream come true. Cheers, Jason
Ishibashi Music English UA-cam Channel Welcome. It is hard to find straight forward demos for new products that illustrates its capabilities alone w/o drowning amidst other effects and/or unknowns affecting the sound and providing a reasonable showcase of the range of the product. Ward with AMES? Afraid that's not me.
+Johan Bento : A flat out Metal Drummer, sadly no, but if it was just a regular jam it could. The only way you would know would be to get one and try it out with your Drummer. It is surprisingly loud for such a small amp.
Too much distortion....... Geez. I like high gain amps, but i think that's plenty there. Try cutting it back a little and perhaps get some more TONE out of that little amp.
+Dan O'Hara That would totaly depend on the Drummer and type of music. For a blues type of volume, should be ok. With a flat out Metal Drummer, not a chance.
+Dan O'Hara That would totaly depend on the Drummer and type of music. For a blues type of volume, should be ok. With a flat out Metal Drummer, not a chance.
big mistake with the stereo room mics. Im hearing pick attack and strings. so not loud enough to be over the guitar playing. you should have fed a 4x12 and mic'd it with an SM57 like any club would.
Ahhh, you mean on the speaker cabinet. It's the Nuno Bettencourt cab made by Randall so I guess you could say "Yes it is". If you liked seeing that, you'll LOVE this... ua-cam.com/video/oDArLASETl0/v-deo.html
No it doesn't because it's a single channel amp. You can barely set it as such by setting the gain low, but that doesn't really help so much with this thing. It was born to be a beast and that's all there is to it.
Well to add injury to insult, I like your Hotone videos the best. Your Purple Wind video was awesome. Did you make a British Invasion video? I saw the Heart Attack one also. You rock!
That's no insult. I LOVE the Purple Wind. I'm a fan of more than just a high gain tone although high gain is my favourite. And yes, there is a British Invasion video on this same channel as the Heart Attack video.
Hi Maxim. No mate, there's no tube. There would hardly be enough space inside for even a 12AX7. That doesn't stop it from being a fantastic little amp though. It's so good I personally have one at home that I use to practive with myself.
I actually is. I must admit, I think the recording levels on the mics were a bit high and the audio could have been better. When you're in the room playing it and keep in mind that it's a practice tool, it's fine for 6, 7, 8 or even 9 string Guitars. If you were looking for a dream amp, of course this isn't the perfect choice, but that amp would be a Bogner, Bad Cat, Mesa or something along those lines and they would cost you 30 times the price of the Heart Attack. Like I said, for a practice tool it's awesome. If you have a dealer near you go test it out. They are a LOT of fun to play with.
If I can find one over here in New Zealand I'll give it a jam and tell you if my view changes, however I do thoroughly enjoy your reviews compered to allot of other guys out there your are one of the easiest to watch and honest too :)
Wow!! That's very nice of you to say. I appreciate that & the feedback very much. No doubt there are some people who'd say, "Not that Aussie guy again". I can't help but be honest. If I don't like something I can't pretend that I do. That's just the way I am. It's also why it probably looks like I like EVERYTHING. It's because I can't do a convincing video of something that I think is crap. Haha!!
+zigzagbigbag : I actually disagree. These little Hotone amps are genuine useable amplifiers that sound very much like the big 50watt or 100watt versions but are designed for a much smaller volume. I think they are fantastic for what they are. I wasn't paid to make these videos. I simply made them because I thought the amps were cool. Cheers, Jason

So it's the perfect little amp for someone who has a TSL 100 but can't use it at home but just happens to have a spare Quad box at home? Like me?
Wow' there is so much guitar and amp, i never saw so much of them in 1 place
thumbs up for sound garden!!!!!!! good demo jason!
thunder bass is intended to be a Ampeg SVT series amp.
+smackythefrog23 : That is correct.
cool
Would this amp be loud enough through a 4x12 to keep up with a drummer, or would you still need a PA?
Toastied, it is pretty loud for a small amp, but that could be a little tough. If you were playing with a LOUD drummer then no chance. However if you set the amp & 4x12 behind the drummer then it might be ok for jamming, but still it's not really designed for that purpose. It's more so you can get that big sound at a small volume to practice with at home.
you feed that little amp into at least 60 watts amp into a half stack and you can cut the band .
Actually it just sounds like the audio is out of phase, when I first heard it I thought you had a phaser or a chorus going on. I think a 180 degree phase shift would make it sound less Metal zone/bees in a can
I believe you're correct. I made this video 6 years ago and it's too late to go back and do anything about it now and unfortunately UA-cam doesn't allow you to correct things like your own audio after the upload is completed unless you wish to do a whole new upload.

If I plugged this into my 4x12 roadking,would it be loud enough for band practice ?
Nice riffs :3
No. But if you own any kind of Headamp you can connect the Send of the HoTone to the Return of your Head.

Hi do you think this amp will stand up with a drummer jamming in?
Thank you
I've been asked this many times. It's loud for what it is, but it's not meant for that. If you were looking for something like that, the new Vox Nutube MV50 is the way to go.
Ishibashi Music English UA-cam Channel thank you Sir. I will try to run it on my 4x12 cab
Good call. They sound great on a nice 4x12.
no . you need at least 60 watts with a half stack

Well thank you good sir. And yes, there must be another Kevy Metal or few floating around I would guess. They are in Adelaide, Australia.

are these loud enough for a band practice or practice with drums?
+Dan O'Hara That would totaly depend on the Drummer and type of music. For a blues type of volume, should be ok. With a flat out Metal Drummer, not a chance.

Are those tube amps??
Job Ian Caliwag : Amazingly enough they are not. Sounds like they are though.
wow
big mistake with the stereo room mics. Im hearing pick attack and strings. so not loud enough to be over the guitar playing. you should have fed a 4x12 and mic'd it with an SM57 like any club would.
Sure, but it's a bedroom amp, but a live gigging amp, hence why I didn't run it like at a gig.
Cheers,
Jason
could I connect the headphone jack to the pasystem without a dibox ? thank you
***** : In theory, yes you could. How it would sound I have no idea as I've never tried it.
1:08 Is that the Mourning Widows logo?
Ahhh, you mean on the speaker cabinet. It's the Nuno Bettencourt cab made by Randall so I guess you could say "Yes it is". If you liked seeing that, you'll LOVE this... ua-cam.com/video/oDArLASETl0/v-deo.html
didn't know about it, thanks!
Sounds like a fucking hairdryer.
lol
you right ！！
does this amp play clean ch?
No it doesn't because it's a single channel amp. You can barely set it as such by setting the gain low, but that doesn't really help so much with this thing. It was born to be a beast and that's all there is to it.
4:34 might help to answer the question as well.
The Thunder Bass is a Ampeg SVT.
Ummm, thank you An2onie. Of course I found that out just after filming this video ;-)
Well to add injury to insult, I like your Hotone
videos the best.
Your Purple Wind video was awesome.
Did you make a British Invasion video?
I saw the Heart Attack one also.
You rock!
That's no insult. I LOVE the Purple Wind. I'm a fan of more than just a high gain tone although high gain is my favourite. And yes, there is a British Invasion video on this same channel as the Heart Attack video.
Is it tube?
Hi Maxim. No mate, there's no tube. There would hardly be enough space inside for even a 12AX7. That doesn't stop it from being a fantastic little amp though. It's so good I personally have one at home that I use to practive with myself.
Thank you!
that sounds so fizzy on that cab
I know. Plus it was a long time ago now.
I think i'm turning Japanese, I think I am turning Japanese, I.....(fill in rest)
I really think so!
Can you play clean
It sounds okay but I would still say it's not articulate enough for a 7 string
I actually is. I must admit, I think the recording levels on the mics were a bit high and the audio could have been better. When you're in the room playing it and keep in mind that it's a practice tool, it's fine for 6, 7, 8 or even 9 string Guitars. If you were looking for a dream amp, of course this isn't the perfect choice, but that amp would be a Bogner, Bad Cat, Mesa or something along those lines and they would cost you 30 times the price of the Heart Attack.
Like I said, for a practice tool it's awesome. If you have a dealer near you go test it out. They are a LOT of fun to play with.
If I can find one over here in New Zealand I'll give it a jam and tell you if my view changes, however I do thoroughly enjoy your reviews compered to allot of other guys out there your are one of the easiest to watch and honest too :)
Wow!! That's very nice of you to say. I appreciate that & the feedback very much. No doubt there are some people who'd say, "Not that Aussie guy again".
I can't help but be honest. If I don't like something I can't pretend that I do. That's just the way I am. It's also why it probably looks like I like EVERYTHING. It's because I can't do a convincing video of something that I think is crap. Haha!!
I hear the strings more then the amp.
horrible sound ...
After all is said and done you're way better off with a fender mustang 20. This thing is too expensive and that on top of the speaker... or speakers.
+zigzagbigbag : I actually disagree. These little Hotone amps are genuine useable amplifiers that sound very much like the big 50watt or 100watt versions but are designed for a much smaller volume. I think they are fantastic for what they are. I wasn't paid to make these videos. I simply made them because I thought the amps were cool.
Cheers,

+Ishibashi Music English UA-cam Channel Don't get me wrong. Enjoyed the show.
Nice to know. Hope you enjoyed my other videos too.
2:15 lol wtf
I'm not sure what you're referring to sorry.
also those mini speakers suck.
And zero clean tone...waste of money and time. Better amps for the money.
