I still miss the old style of videos where you see more of the guys in the store actually going through the thought process of how they're gonna spend the allotted amount of Pounds, it might seem like waffling but it really was my favorite part, the comments about Top Gear for Guitars still stand today

[ThakkMylde]

I wish a video like this existed when I was just starting out way back when. No ego, just helping.

[SnIpErX]

Missed such videos where you peeps waltz through the store and have a challenge. Great to see it's return

[jameslewis]

Andertons should sell 'starter pack' options based on something like a GP100 and a pair of headphones (you could call it the 'parent saver' or the 'flat dweller' pack) because it keeps the players sounds to themselves and allows more flexibility of sound. Later on, when upgrading, the player can then get the big amp without essentially adding to the worldwide pile of e-waste needing to be recycled as the effects can be taken on into the big rig.

[BeroOgden]

This sort of challenge is always super fun to me. The choices you need to make when it's time to "upgrade" when you are at the bottom level pricepoint of gear.

[theyearsshallrun]

Love love love how beginner friendly this all is. Brilliantly accessible and the opposite of gatekeeping - bravo.

[dpeters]

For the absolute beginner, the multi fx is a huge deal. Being able to get the essence of what a type of pedal does to your tone is a great investment.

[GitShiddy]

Lee definitely nailed what I think the next logical step (hell the thing you should do instead of an amp in a starter pack) with the Valeton. When you're starting out you want/need to be exposed to everything possible. Every sound, every trick, every teaching tool, every opportunity to figure out how to get a sound to the point of finding your sound.

[gamingnuke]

Great video guys.
Couldn’t have come at a better time.
I bought an east coast starter pack in January with some Christmas money( couldn’t practice in February or most of march after almost cutting of the tip of my first finger awch)
My birthday is coming up and I’ve been looking at budget pedals and multi fx. After watching this video I’m going to go for the gp 100 as I’m still only practicing in my bedroom
Thanks Captain

[williambartholomew]

Nah, you BOTH nailed it!
If the next step is more practice+fun time for yourself go Lee's route
If your next step is to play with others right away go Pete's route
There's no wrong here, if a learning musician can do both definitely make it happen!

[randywillimas]

Holy crap I was watching this just for the fun of it. I've had a look r for a year that I thought I had to have cables into the fx loop for what Pete is doing. You just BLEW my mind!! Best explanation of a looper EVER. defo doing that right now with my tube screamer

[Robert_Charles]

Do the same thing but with the bass starter packs!

[hazezw]

Just a point on my experience from when I started learning the guitar and why I wouldn’t start with spending money on a new amp. I never practiced pugged in, I always played my guitar acoustically. Mainly because there was only so many times I could butcher heart shaped box until my parents asked me to knock it on the head. Unless you have a dedicated spaces using an amp just doesn’t really happen, at least in my experience. I would probably spend money on learning resources or lessons. If I was spending the money on the guitar then probably getting the frets dressed, and look at new tuners as tuning can be an issue with starter pack guitars.

[djjazzyjeff]

Always a banger when they start inside the store!

[rowbags]

That end jam is great proof that you don't need to spend an arm and a leg to get a great sound - just practice, practice, practice! Nice one guys! 😎

[philipbrowne]

Holds up strings: "This could cost you 5 pounds."
Me: cries in 5-string bass

[nellayema]

I'm amazed at the sound coming out of those starter pack amps. They seem to be an incredible value for a beginner. The guitars seem great for the $$, too.

[arcsyko]

Such a great video, I just love these jams between Lee and Pete

[neiladdison]

During the intro I was sure we were going to see a Positive Grid amp here. An upgrade on the soeaker with a world of effects at your finger tips... I didn't realise the 40w was a shade over budget, though very close to the budget Pete negociated😜. I always enjoy these vids. Well done fellas

[zebulonu]

I've just had a look at that Eastman 35W amp (link above). There's a Send/Return on the back! The restrictions of using a looper before the pre-amp which Pete and Lee discussed do not apply. Just stick the looper in the FX return and and you can keep your loop just as you recorded it irrespective of changes you make for the overdub.
