Comment from : Frank Vapor

Hi All, I d buy the Lunchbox Reverb I have a Katana 50, but never use its inside effect, bc I prefer my own pedals or my HX stomp Would I suffer from worse tones? Tks!
Comment from : Attila Lemy - YmeL

ZVex amp is impressive Best demo of it on youtube But best sounding here for me its Silvertone
Comment from : Selviö Diz

I’d take a good used Vox AC10 over most of those, save maybe the Marshall And a Carr or Swart over that Even better if you can find an old engineer with a passion… for me I’m looking forward to checking out Sonic Pipe amplifiers
Comment from : Joe - Feather Guitars

Loved the pretenders tribute! Nice one Andy
Comment from : eamonnb2

Hi! I love the way you play, it's so beautiful to watch and these amps are amazing for the size I'm just picking it back up since playing as a teen I love the echoey effect you are using at 238, can you make this sound on most amps or is it just with certain types? Thanks!

Fender amps from my experience when they are at Louder volumes The speakers always seem to blow out just speaking from experience
Comment from : Mr S

There’s so many great small amps around but my pick would be the fender 57 reissue custom champ or the early 70’s vibro champ and the Marshall class 5 or an old Gibson GA-5T, I’ve heard those little Vox AC4’s are great to

blues junior end of story
Comment from : Carlo Isidore Salcedo

Nice amps, but…Where are the Vox MV 50s ? Almost as small as an effect pedal, 50 tube watts, all analog and no gimmicks Pair it with any good cab, and be amazed I got 4 of them
Comment from : greenguitarfish

That lunch box sounds yummy
Comment from : Obsidian _Hearts

He smiled with the Marshall Definitely the np best one
Comment from : funkyboss007

Is this 50 watts but small to play in a band
Comment from : Sepherina Allard

My ZT Lunchbox puts out 100wRMS via internal speaker (half the size of the Victory 'with' a speaker inside) and another 100wRMS via external cabinet (handles ANY 8ohm cabinet) Total 200wRMS + cabinet drowning out 100w heads the small light amp is perfect for travel with a Vox Fx Starstream guitar, or any guitar + a modelling pedalboard (like my Line 6 POD 500X HD) and it's actually the size of a kids lunchbox!

Nice!

Comment from : Dezz Maan

That little Marshall surprised me Going to look into that lineup more
Comment from : DontDoIt

Every time I walk into a store I ask "Where are all the stacks at ?"
Comment from : SNFLIPPIN

I want/need a small (low-wattage) amp that is CLEAN, and has a spring tank Reverb, (although I could use effects boxes), portability, and versatility are great!brWhat amp would work great with a "Baritone" guitar?!
Comment from : guloguloguy

Thank you, Very much, Andy!! You are a fantastic player!!! Where can I find more about more of your music?!
Comment from : guloguloguy

blues junior is loud as fuck lol
Comment from : Nicolas Dagenais

No love for the Rocker 15 combo huh?
Comment from : Ken K

Why no love for Laney?
Comment from : KIillabytez

This review is MISLEADING br brThe amp actually sounds SMALL in real life The sound is big here because the mic is way to close to the speakers like what people do in recording You don't put mic in front of your amp when practicing in your bed room I wish amp reviews have a set of mic that records the ACTUAL human hearing distance Not like STUDIO MIC level br brBy putting a mic in front of this amps makes the amp sound like a 100watts amp when in reality the sound is WAAY smaller and the distortion is WEAKER br brThe sound is exaggerated here and BIG because of the mic The mic is producing that big sound, not the amp
Comment from : Val Crist

That black star silverline surprised me a lot
Comment from : Matthew Kennedy

Not small enough In the 2020's, a Blues Jr is a gig amp
Comment from : semiografo

I love that Sears Silverstone It sounds like something you would hear on a Wilco record 👍
Comment from : Cory Chang

Conclusion Try it at the storewhatever the freaking brand is
Comment from : Michael Quintana

These amps suck, lolthe only one that sounds good is the SilvertonebrAll the rest sound choked or pinched somehowthey ALL seem to 'color' the soundbrI have a little 5 watt amp made in 1960 by 'Voice of Music' from a reel to reel that will drive a 4x12, and its very clean and begins to break up at half volume, and it sounds better than ANY of the others herebrAnd that is the worst sounding Marshall i have ever heardbrIve heard better sounding guitar through a SS BASS AMPbrEspecially with an overdrivebrIve got 3 old 2204's, that do it ALLbrclean, dirty, and LOUDbrSure they are heavybut they never break down and ive been playing them for 40 yearsbrI know they are hard to find now and expensive, but they ALWAYS WEREbrIf you want to sound your best , its not cheapbrThese sound cheapthe Sears amp being the lone exceptionbrAnd we used to laugh at those in the seventies

Comment from : Capt Dan

What a shot amp comparison You change guitars with every amp brDo one with the same guitar and we will have a look This is just you showing off to to the world We don’t care We want to buy an amp A good amp And a good honest review of certain tone You my friend are a bell end
Comment from : Chef James Howard

How do you go from the ZT Lunchbox to a big ass marshall? No where near similar sizes, wasnt the key word here SMALL
Comment from : ituneyou 12

What RIFF are you playin at time 3:27 - 4:00 roughly I’d like to learn it
Comment from : Derek Walde

Love the ZT reverb :-)
Comment from : tubbers20

Andy thanks for doing the Silvertone 1481 I have all of the Silvertone series amplifiers, including the 1482 12 Watt, 1483 26 watt, 1484 at 40 watts and the 1485 AKA the Jack White special
Comment from : James McCutcheon

No love for the Vox AC-4?

That second amp dosent sound that good in my opinionbrIt sounds like it has no bass to itbrNo unff
Comment from : that doom guy

That ZT isn't getting any love in the comments :(brFeel like most guitar players would rather chew glass than play solid stte
Comment from : Sean Kent

Monoprice biotch!
Comment from : zombiemontage

Andy, you have to chuck the Supro Blues King on this list I got it for the RIDICULOUSLY low Black Friday price for $299 anddamn This thing goes from crystal clean to a really fat and singing overdrive thanks to a Pigtronix fet circuit It can get hairy on its own just by cranking it and not using the "drive" circuit, but for nice bedroom level grit and grime, this is a steal (if you can still snag 'em) Even at the $599 list I'd be a happy camper
Comment from : James Reilly

Hey! Vox! Bring back the Mini 3 Love mine and have played a lot of gigs with it miked with a Sure SM7B
Comment from : Blind Squirrel

I bought a vox AC 10 such a scrummie little amp but it was to loud for home not loud enough for Gigs and it hated all my drive pedals, fantastic reverb thoughbrSent it back got a katana 100 it does everything rather well, the half watt setting is perfect for home, I want a blues jnr

Andy, is that beautiful telecaster for sale? Which year and model?
Comment from : butterscotchtele

wow people really can't build amps nowadays The Sears with an 8" sounds so much better than all of the modern ones
Comment from : vojtasTS29

I wish they made a blues junior with an fx loop So many good fenders like the Deluxe Reverb, but no fx loop always scares me off haha
Comment from : DelScully

Maybe use the same guitar to demo all
Comment from : thomas chippie

The Blues jr, easily sounds the best to my ear!
Comment from : John Galbraith

Nice reviews 👍🧡✨
Comment from : ritz crimson

How about some amps for some of us that are on a budget?
Comment from : Robert Lofrano

Wow! These are great options br(Proceeds to roll ds-100 into bedroom)
Comment from : Ben Keating

My personal best small amp would be : Vox Pathfinder 15R - if you happen to put your hands on this little buddy, try it ! I’m about to think that if they stopped making it, it’s because it was way too good for the price !
Comment from : Tacotac64

Joyo amps: are we a joke to you?
Comment from : INFERNO

I started with a Yamaha THR5
Comment from : lotiroon

Don't let people fool you Blues jr is a gigging amp I live on an acre of property and play in a shed I converted to my recording space A blues jr above 2 will piss off your neighbors 😆
Comment from : Mister Knight Owl & Co

I owned the Sears 1481 back in the '60s Gigged with it a lot Was not a bad amp Ugly as sin but interesting tone
Comment from : Eric Schwartz

3:39 somebody tell how to put this dam effect on my guitar 😥😭
Comment from : NananttA Att

Totally sponsored video, silverline and some no name zvex mini head that sounds like low end dist pedal with dead battery
Comment from : Unknown

Rumour has it that Andy replaced his index finger with a steel/ delrin robotic tip made by Dunlop 😁
Comment from : Tolis Koskinas

I used to have a Blues Junior, and it was great! But, I had to sell it I miss those Sweet tones! PS I Dig the sound of that Silvertone! Who built it for Sears?
Comment from : David G

Underrated video
Comment from : Jackson Strong

Hate the way his guitar playing always sounds muddy and lacks attack It's the fingers
Comment from : Andru Jorj

Blackstar makes some great "cheap" tube amps that can easily be upgraded I get it, blackstar has a pretty bad reputation within the guitar community for being cheap for beginners but seriously their latest lines of true tube amps are worth checking out
Comment from : Alex Murphy

The description: no picksbrJust had to huh
Comment from : Zeyy

The tele is gorgeous
Comment from : Winston Zendejas

The Blues Jr is the blandest sounding amp ever
Comment from : Snake

Please do an acoustic one
Comment from : Blue Spirit

it doesn’t say what pedal he used on the lunch box
Comment from : El Scorcho

Vox AC4TV : unbelievable clean and wonderful, predictable breakup Highly underrated amp, imho Plus it's got built-in attenuation down to 1/4 watt, making it the perfect bedroom amp Am I the only one who loves this little beast?
Comment from : ToddtheExploder

So I take it you like to use a lot of Reverb
Comment from : Outcast Outdoors - On a Fishin Mission

Andy does the best reviews
Comment from : Will H

I've always loved the Fender Champ tweed 5F1
Comment from : James Wallace

The Marshall amp sounded the best honestly It paired nicely with the humbuckers
Comment from : Justin Davis

Marshall for me That British tone😍 But they were all good for what they were
Comment from : Jack Thomson

If you can still find one, Peavey Rage 158s will peel the wallpaper off your fucking walls if you put enough gain on it I got a noise complaint in college for putting mine through its paces Ended up leaving it at home over break and picking up a solid state Blackstar amp because I wouldn't have been able to help myself if I held onto it It's been my go-to amp since I stated playing 3 years ago Such a shame Peavey went out of business
Comment from : aj

Hi Andy can you recommend a chimy clean tone amp (for funky type rhythm guitar) that would complement the fender bass breaker amplifier in a home studio collection? Something affordable Other player have recommended a Vox 10 or 12 combo but so far I'm not convinced this is the chimy/clean tone amp I'm looking for
Comment from : White Heat

I swear by an AC15C1 for playing live They’re way more than loud enough and sound really sweet
Comment from : brandon gee

I'm surprised he didn't mention the Fender Pro Jr That is a little tone machine
Comment from : roadapple66

Marshall DSL 5CR say hi Surprisingly loudly
Comment from : distrustful monkey

Small amps are the way to go Great for practicing with headphones If you need more volume you can always connect it to a 4x12 or mic it to a PA for live settings
Comment from : Aaron Warren

In my opinion, that Silvertone sounds like the small inexpensive amps we all wish to graduate from and never look backnot sure why it is on the list It seems like a super niche sound that a studio could keep for weirdness, but definitely not a main amp for me
Comment from : jh45

Interesting and slightly odd format of choosing a variety of formats brBlues Junior, Marshall and the lovely Sears amp were my favouritesbrbrExplains why I still own my first amp, which happens to be valve driven A nice Wem Clubman 5 to 6 watts of loveliness 😊😊😊
Comment from : Paul Summerside

A pretty good review Would have preferred if you used the same guitar throughout the reviews
Comment from : Marshall Schaffer

What do you thing about Koch amps? I like them
Comment from : Vintage Guitar Club

Long story short, should i buy the blues jr or the lunchbox???

Comment from : madcow usa

One day I will have a champ, but until that day comes I am happy with the vox AD15 with a vintage tube and an upgraded alnico speaker
Comment from : kosmicwizard

Don't forget the ac4!
Comment from : Datdankboi

The Orange Micro Terror/Micro Dark are also fantastic The Micro Dark even has an effects loop I wouldn't mind a Mini Dark that had more tone controls and built in reverb
