There's some sort of mic distortion happening for the first 7-10 seconds or so. My apologies - it's not the amp! I'll review and re-upload if necessary later on.
I'm late to the party here Brett but, whoa.. I've been wanting an old school JTM45 for years but thought it's not flexible enough.. then a light came down from the clouds with a link to your video here! What an awesome sounding/looking/thought out amp. Cheers for the great demo.
Your videos are fantastic. Always very helpful. Ive just purchased a speaker cab online from Labros - can't wait to receive it! I am VERY tempted for this amp head...Unbelievable tone!
Lordy you Aussie's know good tone! Achillies makes some of the nicest/correct sounding amps on the planet.......His JTM-45 model is the finest I've ever heard.
Hey Brett, will you have the chance to test the new Bogner JB45 (another boutique amp JTM45 with KT66 and plenty of switches and knobs to tweak it). I really wonder how it compares to this Argos…
Amazing such a classic sound. I want one but wife says no. I guess I can consider a champ. I really want one of his little tweed jobbies. I've heard they rock for around the house but can they rock like this?
I want to love this amp, and yeah it looks like a good alternative to a Friedman Dirty Shirley or a Smallbox (the Friedman I own), but I have heard this amp in 2 different demos (the other being EytscPi42) and both demos have an ugly undertone to the distortion or kind of a blatty sound for lack of a better description. Hand wired, beautiful construction and quality components at 1/2 the price of a Friedman . I wanted to like this amp , but I can't say I do on the basis of these 2 demos, maybe they just sound good in the room. Maybe I just don't like the output valves or something. It sounds too ugly to me. I thought the modelled Hiwatt Brett used on a demo a while ago was much better. Try not to hate me, it's just an opinion...
Oh god, this Sound just shook me all night long ! I count every euro till a year, and I hope will be ready to command next year :-) First test my t-shirt «save the zebra » I think !

Rocking stuff!

Sounds like a brilliant amp & it would hold up to any Marshallesq inspired amps from any builder across the globe \m/
Oh yes. I want! Sounds amazing and Aussie made! Oi Oi Oi.
Carvin' it up as always Burgs! Not a bad amp either ;-)

Ever tried a Ceriatone? Thoughts?
Love it!
Wowee, that delivers boy oh boy.
Can you hear a difference in the recording when you use that SE Mic thing and just mixing up the regular way?
Man that’s a killer amp
Seems to be a good alternative to the Friedman amps. For 1854.20 € it may be a good choice if you're looking for a Mashall JTM45 sound.
Was that trailing crackle your mic or the amp?
Another great sounding amp from Labros' workshop.
Brett Kingman I hear it a couple times during the intro. At around 32s it pretty clear.
konnektlive yup, I've heard it on a 5E3 Deluxe before.

Long way from Australia... :-/
Great sound! By the way, have you ever tried those Kemper modelers? Just wanted your opinion on it.
Do You Vape ???
Wow! a nice bit of amp. Must be pretty pricey.
I wouldn't buy one of these because of the popping everytime a switch is flicked. That should not be happening. Great tone but....
It's sounds nice but whenever anybody plays ACDC they use way too much gain. If you actually listen to their guitar sounds they are pretty clean.
sounds like a noisy amp which isn't good.. every time you stop playing you hear an earthing sound. :(
