I appreciate the genealogy of high gain amps, it reminds me of the story how all 3d game engines can be traced back to Doom

[ChronicMetamorphosis]

Nice history lesson! I like how quick and straightforward it was.

[luisfguitar]

Pretty smart for tc to launch these. I've seen people wishing ua, sttrymon and other companies did higher gain models also

[ScottFairley]

I used to run live sound at a college venue, and I was always jealous of bass players who could show up with their whole rig in a gigbag and still sound awesome going direct. I'm glad it's a realistic option for guitarists to do the same now.

[kobalt_ren]

That little dinosaur plant pot is lovely!

As for the pedals, they seem really neat! I like the thematically-appropriate knobs. An Orange-flavoured one of these seems like a good idea to me, given there seem to be fewer ways of getting Orange tone without getting the amps themselves.

[goshhowhorrible]

Thanks for this review Colin. There are some other good reviews on YT but the comparison is great.

[gregmize]

I LOVE THAT YOU CAN SELECT PRE OR POST ON THE BOOST OF THE JIM'S 800

[marconicolini]

These pedals really are THE thing... nice work TCElectronics and thankt to you to shout them out... and now to the Discord cavern

[matthewhenaghan]

So is there a way to get a clean tone from the dual wreck? I realize it's a high gain amp, but sometimes you need to play clean

[rebel]

Great pedal concept, can't say I'm in love with the sound though. It all sounds rather thin and harsh to me, but maybe they'd sound better in the room, idk. Excellent review as always though Colin.

[Zsigmund]

I really appreciated your comments about having a physical interface to mess around with for guitar sounds. Thanks!

[justinvzu]

I never personally thought of the JCM800 as a high gain amp. I'm just so used to a cranked boosted 5150 or rectifier.

[James.]

If I can get that Dual Wreck pedal to match the tone from my Joyo Zombie... Then I want it. The Zombie sounds amazing but it just isn't loud enough for band use unless I slave a bigger amp. That just quit working for some reason. Now all I get is a loud unrelenting screech when I use the preamp section of the Zombie with the power section of my 120 watt Randall rd120d

[xtimmyxcorex]

The 800 pedal… what boost circuit is that? Any chance it’s the same as the old TC boost+distortion pedal from the 80s?

[jefgirdler]

Hey Colin, I dunno if you're still doing the TATA videos but I've got a question I feel like you might have some insight on - I'm wanting to build an amp cabinet similar to a little Phil Jones Bass C4 that i used to have, using hifi subwoofers and a tweeter as the drivers. My question is, what makes a guitar speaker a guitar speaker, and a regular hifi speaker hifi? If the frequency ranges and wattages are similar and compatible, would I be able to use a couple of dayton audio subwoofers as bass cab drivers?

[ProCoRat]

6505 was my fave. In-person, the best amp I ever played was the 800, but maybe I should give 6505 a look one of these days.

[sirmaurice]

I thought the mark series was basd on the Princeton?

[Livelaughlimpbizkit]

It's funny the jcm 800 is known as a high gain amp but it really doesn't have that much gain. It's always associated with metal bands like slayer but I'm guessing they have modded versions ?

[kerkuss]

At Henning's ;) How cool, I love you both guys :)
