Andertons Big Secret

Not quite an Audio Audit, But close. Todays video started out with the question, "Who owns Victory amps?" But the more I uncovered the more it became a video about Andertons and Lee Anderton. Disclosure of ownership of brands is required by law. There shouldn't be a need to do a full scale investigation.

The high comedy of this is that YouTube served up an Amderton's advertisement in the middle of watching yiur video.

[chuddleywindston]

It's pretty wild seeing Lee, an owner of the company, sit by quietly as Mick talks about his potential bias.

[phillycheeseful]

I did not know guitar-based investigative journalism was a thing, but I'm here for it.

[ReaperBit]

I just want to express my appreciation for your efforts. Great journalism, very well researched and elegantly presented.

[jamescurnutt]

Man... damn. You know its gonna be a rough day when KDH is sitting in your office with a question he probably already has the answer to. LMAO

[robertaugustine]

Well done. The Martin Kidd interview at the 4:22 mark actually tells a whole bunch when the real story is known. Martin cleverly pivots when he seems to realize that he might accidentally reveal the well-kept ownership secret.

[VikCain]

Funnily enough I always thought that Victory was an in-house brand from Andertons, I think I got that idea because of body language and tone when they talked about it, it was like "well, this feels more like an add than usual"

[jordan-c-bay]

Great video. 
What’s weird is that Lee could have gone the exact opposite direction with his disclosures and garnered a lot of interest and respect. “I have access to some of the best ears and fingers in the UK, I’m an expert in guitar products, my team and I have played virtually every guitar amp ever made, yada yada” and made this a selling point, rather than a secret.

[ZaaaZ]

You just got rewarded with a new subscriber..!! The way you bite into your research is admirable and very much appreciated.

[zacharyhaverkamp]

I can always trust KDH to give me drama on amps I can't dream to afford

[andydonaldson]

I think it's probably pretty safe to say that Andertons is involved in any brand that has a Rabea/Danish Pete/Chappers et al signature model.

I love how this channel became some sort of content cop for other artists in the industry, good video! 🎉

[ChaosPootato]

Outstanding quality of work. Documented investigation, no personal bias, no drama, no unnecessary shade thrown at Andertons. That's a 10/10 from me.

[worldline]

Well done. "KDH" and "Wings of Pegasus" are proving to be formidable investigative channels that are able to bring unpleasant truths to light.

[harrisondvargo]

Watching KDH become the go-to name in down-to-earth guitar reporting has been a real treat! Keep it up mate!

[Fallub]

The Landlord one really surprised me. As far as I know, they never acknowledged being a part of that, while also liking them very vocally. That sounds very dubious to me unfortunately.

[prspktvmusic]

I’ve always thought of Victory being synonymous with Anderton’s, this video just confirms it. Either way, they’re killer amps and I do like Lee (his public persona at least).

[Quietistooquiet]

I gotta say KDH, When I first started watching your videos a while back I was like "man this guy hates everything". (I am laughing while I write this). But as time has marched on, I realized that you are the hero we need. I love your content keep up the great work.

[HarlanHarvey]

KDH, you have a very bright future. Smart, young, and driven. We are watching you grow up right in front of us and you're doing great. Never lose sight of your goals. Remain humble and never compromise your own integrity.
