Pt 1: Electro-Harmonix 22 CALIBER Guitar Amp with Mike Matthews and his son Owen

[theatomicpunkkk]

I wanna party with Mike!!

[trusoundstudios]

@guitarbutt do you even know who Mike Matthews is?

[stratocatblue]

Cool it' the "Nature Boy" Rick Flair!

[jg76aries]

Mike needs to put on a more modest shirt. haha!! Wish there were more vids of the 44 caliber tho.

[Pianoblacks]

gay

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

fuck yeah, Mike is so badass.

[NvdVen]

what is the difference between the 22 and 44 caliber? thanks!

[jerryteacup]

@NvdVen 22 Caliber and 44 Magnum are different in a self explanatory way. 22 is a 22-watt, and 44 is a 44-watt amp. NOTE: Power amps, and should be treated as such.

[yabadabadoo68]

This is NOT a head.

It is a power amp.

a cool one.

POWER AMP.

[HardRockLeadGuitar]

Bedroom Wanker Amp...What happens when a drummer gets into the mix - bye for now...

[ilyas18]

tua bangka.... hahaha

[weaselsuit]

Matthews needs to stay BEHIND the scenes.

[BadChizzle]

Awesome!

[live2rock4u]

VERY COOL LITTLE AMP !!!!

No more coffee for Mike !

[bgtre5o]

WOOOOOOooo!

[itsheavymetal]

i wish he were my third grampa

XD

[CleverDjembe]

I just cant get over that digital sound

[lollo1991]

hairy shoulders...XD

[Treardet]

Cool. It sounds terrible.

[jjkrause84]

When did Ric Flair start endorsing EHX?

[23Hoopers]

Hey could I put this between my Vox AC4TV head and the cab? Thanks!

[EJRocky]

Awesome old guy is awesome.

[Hellad00d]

@EJRocky He is not just an old guy, thats mike mathews, he is the founder of Electro Harmonix.

[EJRocky]

Wow. Cool xD

[badbrad]

hilarious

[rasputinvanclitt]

Now THAT'S a salesman.

[Vermillion2176]

The question is not "what you blowing" it's what you smoking?

Disturbing...

Ron

[8x26x08]

do u use a SPEAKER CABLE when u take it from the caliber to the cab?

as if you were doing so with a real amp head?

[gillyzoom]

You would think that with all the money mike matthews has he could afford a better outfit to demo his own products in please send this guy to a waxing studio or just cover up those arms please this was disturbing..........

he looks like an out of work wrestler from the 70's

[aadoyle7]

hey man what you blowin'

those shoulders are unique

[fruhotchiliman]

omg these guys are awesome:D

[loslo]

I think the consensus is we wanna hear it playing clean (if thats possible)..please someone post one with cleane tone

[RyuBlade1980]

I like you guys!

[edoardoferrarini]

great! can you plug the headphones somewhere? if it should be possible, that's will be the definitive solution for outdoor students!

[lammyb]

You can try connecting your headphones to the output!

[chrybrstLesPaul]

this video doesn't do it justice.

i tried this out at a friends shop. pushed a vintage marshall 4x12 cab and it sounded amazing. it's cheap too. great for players who want everything simplified. like blues players and whatnot. check it out. i'm mike woods and i support this message

[strybel]

I'd like to see EH coming up with a 44 cal. giving more clean headroom or even better a .308 cal. that could crack a 4x12 open.YEAH!!

[PlayaDontHate24]

.357 Magnum

[unr3al34]

This video Rocks. Way to go Mike !!!

[Lavabug]

Too bad it distorts at high volumes, I'd like something like this to drive a cab with an external preamp.

[dell4bq]

Yeah even though it is only 22 watts solid state I would have hoped for pure clean tone at full volume with no breakup. Using it as a clean power amp source would be great for say a modeller or some direct recording type pedal like the GT-2. Here's hoping the flabby distortion is from the camcorder.

[mckschs]

It's an amp in a box, literally. What else would you expect from a cranked amp?

[Lavabug]

A clean tone would be nice, that way one could use their own pedals to get grit and shape the tone.

[guillll]

The son seems to be quite embarassed ... But it's fun. The amp sounds a little like my Pignose Legendary.

[Chumleh]

Mike is a badass.

[nicethugbert]

I think most of the distortion is coming from the camcorder.

[chaffel3]

I think it's hilarious how many tubes ehx makes and they always make solid state amps

[rickair]

Actually, this is the second solid state amp. All of the ELECTRO-HARMONIX amps previously, save one, were valve amps. Great sounding amps that are now collector's favorites.They do have the portable amp that runs on batteries, which is/was? a great gigging amp.

If you want to build a palm sized amp with tubes...good luck. The micing was not good but seeing the owner, who is a musical instrument legend and his son... that is cool. A tonal complaint of an funny amp video is really reaching.

[dell4bq]

Did the version you talked about that you created as a PA head in a pedal sound better than this? Maybe it would have been better to release that instead...

[macaframa12]

@chaffel3 Shows how much you know dumbass.

[yearofrolling]

better mic-ing wouldve helped this vid out

[dell4bq]

I don't know it kind of sounded like crap once he disconnected the Fender amp. Is that thing capable of a nice clean tone, or just a crappy 70's type diarrhea kind of fuzzy distortion?

[arteffectpedals]

Did you watch the video with the guy who designed it? He is feeding a sine wave and it shows up on the scope without any distortion at the rated wattage, so it seems you can run it very clean.

[Detman101]

I don't know why but this comment had me cracking up for 5 straight minutes...lol

=p

Dm

[dell4bq]

Well better to laugh at it before buying it, right? Unless I see a clean representation of this thing I'm going to pass. The cranked up sound is not appealing at all.

[danceofthedruids]

Holy Jesus! This is breaking news! OMMMGGGGGG!

[crescentaluna]

Mike at EH keepin' it real!

[BornIntoTheGrave]

WTH! LOLZ. Cool Nano amp thu. Gotta get me one of those.

PS. I'm 2nd!!!

[arteffectpedals]

Mike is the man!!!!!!
