I think this is maybe one of the best budget amp shootout in YouTube. Good Job Dan saludos from Mexico:D

[jeffreyeagen]

Great hearing them all back to back like that, really helps those of us who can't remember squat. I really liked the sound, both clean and gainy, of the Moore little monster a.c. the best.! Thanks Dan!

[dabradguy]

i've been listening to this little jam for 2 videos and and my head won't stop bobbing.

[ionse]

The mooer and the Blackstars are so good, then the Joyo Atomic

[dimhelmet]

Watching the first video, I thought, "I wish he did a better comparison of like settings between the amps, " so I was stoked to see this follow-up!

[Uncle_Buzz]

The Orange and the first Mooer were my faves. The Blackstar, of course had the more metal sound of them all. Cheers! Chris.

Awesome work, Dan. I have the 15 watt Monoprice and love that it has an FX Loop. Like the 5 watt version you show here it has a really handy attenuator for hitting that sweet spot without shattering the windows.

[rangerdoc]

Monoprice had the best clean followed by the Wangs 5. Thought the Monoprice sounded kinda farty overdriven though. Kinda liked the Mooer AC driven, followed by the Wangs 5... So overall, I'd have to say the Wangs 5 watter was my favorite.

[unculturedcapybara]

Man all the amps sound so good! And by the way did you write that riff because it sounds amazing!

[samwalker]

Btw I finished that strat I built, Dan. It’s awesome!

[theaudiodump]

I got a Monoprice, 15 watt, a few months ago and it has completely replaced all my other amps (many more expensive). Really hard to beat.

[AOfuhSHO]

Back to back uploads? I could get used to this!

[williamwoodward]

This was helpful. I always enjoy product demos as I don’t have access to all of the product you do. It’s awesome. Thank you.

[Mr.Goldbar]

Joyo Atomic for cleans
Blackstar for drive

[cubedomatic]

That 12" makes me want to get the stage right now. Thank you for the killer reviews!

[rubenriverarojas]

Orange and Mooer AC for me are the best ones, and the overdriven Blackstar sounds amazing too!

[micheltremblay]

The Blackstar is still the one that sounds best to me, so the head is what I would go for coupled with a 12" Celestion Greenback or similar in a homemade cab. Great demo.

[alanst.]

For me the Mooer AC wins, seems very usable on both clean and overdrive, the Monoprice sounds very good clean IMO and the Blackstar and orange both sound not bad at all, but not exactly my cup of tea. Miss Marshall style clones though...

[PooNinja]

I’m liking the blackstar overall and it’s switchable 🤘🏽
Nice shoot out Sir
