Hey guys,
Recently picked one of these up. Really impressed with the old school Fender-y tones it can bring.

All handwired and made in Australia.

Follow up video of some clean stuff.

you make good demos, unfortunately most people are not interested in the gear you demo.

Haha woah harsh.

Sound great, man- I too love that small-amp-on-the-verge-of-exploding vibe. This sounded nice, how much did it set you back?

Keep doing the demos man, They're ace and it's interesting to hear new stuff. Don't listen to negativity from random tossers on the internet.

I know, I mean he hasn't done even one demo of a Les Paul through a Marshall or any tubescreamer demos. All the stuff people need more demos of...

Keep doing the demos, I've never heard of a lot of the stuff you demo but that's good... I've seen all the tubescreamer demos I need for one lifetime.

Totally; it's always really interesting and unusual gears, way more value than anything than Stevie Ray Boring has any interest in

Woah, shit. I post something, go to work come home and check the thread and there's been a slight rhetorical discussion.

I don't care.

Without sounding like a total brand whore, it's probably the best amp I'll ever own. It cost me $1,200 Australian. Considering how shit our dollar is right now, you could probably pick one up for about seven sterling.

Thank you very kindly.

Can't say that's what I originally set out to do, but I definitely agree.

I didn't mean to sound harsh, I do like his demos and watch them, but it's kind of sad a lot of these demo video threads have no answers, possibly could have been this one if I hadn't written anything.

But if you don't care that's cool.

I may have misinterpreted what you said as overly harsh.

Thank you for your kind words.

I believe that the second a product is available for purchase by consumers, it has forfeited its right to not be criticised. Even if my videos may only get a couple hundred views each. I still feel as if I'm helping the community.

I never really found PGS demos or anything like that all that helpful for the working musician or anyone who is below a certain level. Any pedal can really sound good with a custom shop guitar, fantastic amp and a recording process fit for The Foo Fighters. That being said, I feel the demos I make are useful to the working musician type people or the students or younger people just getting into amassing gear.

I'm also not paid by anyone to do any demos. I contribute the odd article to a boutique pedal dealer here, but the pay from that is negligible.

Hosting this YouTube channel is more of a hobby for me. It ended up being a hobby that's generated nearly 150,000 views in total though, so I figured I'd revamp my style and take it a little more seriously.

Thank you for reading my word vomit if you got to the end of this.

I did eventually notice that you post on 5 or 10 forums or something, so I guess if you get 0 replies on here for a video someone on another forum may reply.

Even if they get no answers, a decent review can be useful to someone searching for information. I'm registered on one guitar forum, one bass forum and one amp forum, IIRC. It doesn't stop me getting useful info from elsewhere.
