I just found your channel. I've been a guitar player since I was nine years old in 1961. I still play and I'm now 67. You've got some great content on your channel, for both playing and shooting. Keep it up.

I must be tone deaf I had a very hard time hearing any differenance. But I guess that's what you get for being around jet engines for 20+ years.

I just bought a Bugera T5 and I'm REALLY happy with it. It definitely would fit into this category of low watt and reasonably priced. It stays amazingly clean, which is perfect for me.

[petrucci]

I bought a Joyo zombie II, It’s a two channel mini box and comes with a foot switch lol. I plug it on an egnater tour master 2x12 cab and it CHUGS!!

[johnpittman]

Built my "Dream" guitar cabinet for about $55, and put in a 30 watt 12" Eminence. Then got a Joyo Bluejay: gain at 2:00, Tone at 1:00, and volume according to if my wife and grandkids are home. I have a Digitech Element XP through an E07 Ammoon equalizer, shaping the sound for being under my desk, in the effects loop. Sounds fantastic. I went with the Bluejay since I have a multi-effects pedal. Thanks for the informative reviews.

I've owned my Wangs Mini 5 for over a year and I absolutely love it. Great tones on its own, and it's my favorite clean pedal platform tracking with high-gain drive pedals.

[superdriver]

Yes! I have the HT-1RH with the 12" cabinet speaker and it freaking rocks. Very loud for its size, and very versatile in my opinion. Go Blackstar!

[kieferbradley]

You should try making diy guitar pedals

[tjnugent]

I use a Marshall DSL40CR Vintage and with 40 watts I have enough headroom to craft a gorgeous clean tone as well as the thick and smooth gain from the Marshall. Perfection!

[daviejay]

Had a 100watt Marshall for years, never had the volume over 3..lol

Bought a mesaboogie tiny amp
Cost about as much as a full size amp, but sounded way better at low volumes
5 or 10 watts is a lot, plenty infact..for most people that is

Dont make the mistake of thinking big wattage is better sound

[lufermartins]

That freaking riff is now in my head for rest of the day...

[amdenis]

An 8” speaker is often considered phenomenal recording studio size— albeit not necessarily gigging.

[bradmiddleton]

I recently got myself a Joyo Bantamp Zombie along with a SubZero 1X10 speaker cab. I used it at one of my bands gig for the first time last night, I had the volume on half way and it is definitely loud enough!
The reason I got this amp is because I wanted something smaller, lighter and easier to carry around than my Peavey Bandit, and in the size and weight department it definitely does the job!

[drosa]

...that test melody....never wanna hear it again! 😂

[guyfromnj]

This was a very well structured video that really showed off the sounds of the amps in a very precise way. Same groove all the way through for each amp. Well done. I'm gonna take a look at the mooer ac chumpy. I need less watts in my life.

[ZJtraylor]

Man its pretty cool that you included stuff you cant really reliably get on amazon even though youre an affiliate. Lots of good info here, Im a metal head thats gotten bored of mega distorted chuggaluga nonsense, lookin to get into some more bluesy stuff and this helped alot. Killer riff too man I rarely like demo riffs lol.

[mattgilbert]

Blackstar all the way (I'd go up to 5W, and the used Mk.1 amps can also be had pretty cheap) but the Laney Cub12r has a <1W as well as the 15W input which makes for a winning bedroom/small gig tube amp. Great platform amp as well, if you use FX.
Monoprice is surprisingly good if you like that Fender Champ thing, and I liked the larger Wang.
Which is what she said.

[deBebbler]

That 5W Stage Right combo is the best $100 I ever spent. I'm constantly amazed at how good it sounds. Highly recommended.

[micheltremblay]

The Blackstar is also my favorite. Thanks Dan.
