  • i prefer yamaha b212

  • I don't like his playing very much

    I can hear jeff waters, van halen, marty friedman, jason becker, but no gus g

  • Pointless Shredding = Pointless

  • this guy its so fuckin sick

  • my 160w amp cant even sound like this and its a peavey supreme transtube

  • @MatKiller1197

    

    That's because your peavey is shit

  • @dizafatslag i know i will sell it and buy the ht5 or the fender mustang 5

  • My 65 w cant sound like this wtf :(

  • i fucking dont believe this video...

  • @1976stratomaster a7x aren't faggots. They are for sure sitting more prettier than you right now

  • tone def, turn the tone on and lets hear it i bet it sounds even better

  • wow, it's a 1 watt amp and it sounds a shit-load better than my 100 watt carvin

  • looks like Gus G is a fan of Paul Glibert :P both great players

  • @EliLevittMusic I didn't notice that until now.

  • It's mic'd...

  • just watched some videos of andy james and now everyone sounds like a noob

  • with a good guitar any amp sounds good...

  • @AnndyBL bullshit

  • @AnndyBL um...no? 

  • way too big for 1 watt

  • @ReefsLiceOfficial its a tubes amp

  • @ReefsLiceOfficial The Cab is attached, the amp on top is the actual thing

  • sounds better than my 120 watt Crate amp

  • greek dude rocks|!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, that demo told me nothing. Sure he can play solos but what does the amp sound like when you're NOT shredding up and down the neck? =D

  • What's the name of the song at the start with the blackstar logo?

    I've been going through my Ozzy records and I can't find it at all. So annoying.

  • @TheJiziason I Don't Know.

  • @TheJiziason i dont know

  • @TheJiziason I don't know - whole tone down

  • its not about the amp... its about the player and his play style... he is good at this particular scenario (speed octaves) but not necessarily other aspects, amps just give the added boost of distortion or in a classical guitar playing scenario an amp only gives more volume to the clean tone. im not getting Gus down in any way, i am merely saying.. the amp is just being advertised by his particular play style.

  • even selena gomez sounds good when mic`d

  • some people are really angry about zakk wylde not playing with ozzy but i like gus g He's pretty good

  • @kratos1997T I like Gus too, but I think ge's better in his own band as opposed as to answering to the corporate machine that Ozzy has become. It's not even him that is turning him in that way, either; it's his friggin' wife who's always looking for new ways to slap his face and name on something. Hell, she's already ruined the Black Sabbath "reunion"; she offered such a shitty contract to Bill Ward that he won't take part in it now.

  • That fell when my warm up amp IS my stage amp...

  • Who the fuck is bashing on a7x?

  • Comment removed

  • andy james eats this guy for breakfast.

  • @Guitar1sti both really good guitarists, but how does saying one is way better than the other make you any cooler?

  • @Guitar1sti True but that's not really saying much 'cause andy is waay above him. On the other hand Greg howe can school Andy james with one hand too. Big deal. Gus is a great performer, all his firewind stuff kicks ass, he writes retro style solos not numetal stuff and he's a cool guy that used to hang out with his fans, probably not anymore.

    The ozzy gig is a stepping stone for him. Ozzy will quit within the next 5 yrs and then Gus will be the one headlining on his own or with FW.

  • @chillichomper incorrect. Ozzy is going to be touring with Black Sabbath for the neck long while, as long as their deal goes through, so Gus G will be on his own before long. If not, well, Ozzy will keep touring until the day he dies. thats just the kind of guy he is

  • @Guitar1sti jeff loomis uses both of them to wipe his ass

  • @Guitar1sti I assume you don't know about guitar playing if you really think that

  • @charligj i assume you havent even checked andy out if you really say that :D

  • It's cool that it can shred. But how does it sound riff wise?

  • How does this sound next to the Marshall Class 5?????

  • sounds way better than my Peavey Bandit 112 !

  • @RedroomStudios you should buy a ht5r combo for bedroom

    its the perfect practise amp!!!

    im going to buy it to

  • that kid rips.  nice demo

  • this 1 watt sounds better than my 15 :c

  • I'm gonna save up my money for one of those! XD

  • Not as good as Paul Gilbert

  • @elpudino Ozzy should've asked Paul to play for him, not this guy

  • fuck it, if i want to shred i'll do it like kerry king

  • @xPedro17x95 kerry king? Seriously? Bwahahahahaa...

    

  • Mainstream is not the enemy people. Stop shredding and learn music, please.

  • @jarekisking yawn

  • @jarekisking So shredding is not musical?

  • @jarekisking your the one who should learn music -_-

  • 0:14 he shredded so hard he blurred time itself

  • why people talk about a7x????

  • If A7x is so bad then why are they one of the biggest bands in the world? FTW Synyster gates is beast gus g is too but syn got me playing the guitar

  • @Kaleb673 Because people have shitty taste in music. After all, dubstep is popular.

  • @Kaleb673 synester gates is a pos guitarist...........12 yr old kids enjoy his amateur playing.......listen to real guitarists lmao

  • @Kaleb673 HIP HOP is even more popular. popularity doesnt mean SHIT. tons of popular bands suck.

  • @Kaleb673 syn is talented as mess. but him and zack dress like faggots and their singer can't sing. its like he's whining into the mic

  • schecter sucks cock just ask the faggot from avenged sevenfold!

  • @1976Stratomaster A7x may be faggots but try asking Jeff Loomis or Threat Signal!

  • @MyxHarnett How is a7x faggots? I dont think you guys realize what you say when you say that...

  • @1976Stratomaster I truly don't understand how anyone can call any of the musicians from A7x bad. Maybe there choice in the style of music is different from yours, but you got to be pretty ignorant to call any of them bad.

  • @MrLewisMovies their bass player sucks.

  • @FecklessCretin ill give you that, however their second bassist who recorded there first album was nasty.

  • @FecklessCretin He has a good tone though :P

  • @1976Stratomaster whoa whoa whoa! what the hell man?! i would watch what you say or the ghost of Jimmy will be paying you a visit!

  • @1976Stratomaster Hmm didnt the "faggots" from Avenged sevenfold won titles like.

    Best guitarist 2011

    Best album 2011

    best drummer 2010

    From golden gods award. typical they have one of the greatest fanbase cuz they care much about their fans. But you are a tiny kid that just make hate on the internet. And i not a guitarist but schecter looks like a cool and well sorted brand.

  • @MrShaboo22 I am a guitarist and ESP kicks Schecter to the curb. Ibanez and Gibson are both also far superior, but Ibanez's low-end models aren't anything special. All in all, though, ESP > Gibson > Ibanez > Dean > anything else one might use for metal - especially Schecter.

  • @ARom16 The brand of your guitar OR anyone elses for that matter is completely meaningless. Players aren't and certainly shouldn't be jusdged by which factory their favourite pieve of wood came from it's what you do with your hands. Poor guitarists make issue about their equipment. Greats will play anything, through anything and still sound great.

  • @Benjiinsanity That's true, yes, but to say the gear doesn't make a difference is simply wrong. Yes, the player supplies about most of the sound with soul, touch, and technique. But the gear he or she is using does indeed have an impact.

  • @ARom16 Nope 100% disagree. I'm never giving my gear any credit for my playing/sound. Guitars and amps are just personal preference. The only thing i'd be slightly picky about when it comes to gear is that if i was going to play live I'd much prefer to play through an amp that has valves in it, don't care what the make or model is. All the guitarists I know who are obsessed with gear are shit. Too busy buying shit they don't need rather than putting in hard graft.

  • @ARom16 Compare your video of you playing over a grands worth of Gibson through a marshall amp to any of the intros on my vids which is a second hand guitar through a basic amp simulator that cost me nothing and you tell me which you think sounds best.

  • @Benjiinsanity Excuse me? I've worked EXTREMELY hard to be able to have the gear that I have, so don't talk down on me for having a nice rig. Second, yeah, your tone is fine, but you're not exactly Andy Timmons. You can play using whatever gear you want and that's perfectly fine, but I'll have my guitars & amps simply because I've worked for them & prefer them over other makes & models. You're not going to change my views, & I don't intend to change yours, so that's that.

  • @ARom16 lol Shame you haven't worked extremely hard at your playing. It's eaiser to hand over money though.... I'm not talking down to you for having a nice rig, I'm talking down to you because you've spouted a load of garbage and don't have an ounce of talent to back it up and at the same time proven my point that even with expensive gear a shit guitar player will still sound shit. Have a nice day.

  • @Benjiinsanity

    OK, I was reading some of your comments and I thought, "He's being shitty!", so I checked his videos...AND I AGREE WITH YOU!

    That shit was AWFUL!!

    /watch?v=tJA1dGZ0zx8

    @0:50 of that video I was like WTF AGHHAHAHAHA!!! It was so funny seeing the pride he was taking in himself with the total butchering of any resemblance of the Blues....I am still in shock.

    You were right to bust his balls, that shit was pathetic....

  • @ESPsandEmgs I wish you never put the link here man. I think your comment is disrespecting butchers..

    @ARom16 I suggest you find yourself another hobby.

  • @aydeeT /watch?v=4kuKkaOQz-4

    Still think I need a new hobby?

    Yeah, none of those videos were very good - I never said they were. Hell, I never said myself that I was anything special. But don't judge my ability to play entirely on one old, shitty video of me dicking around. Thank you.

  • @ARom16

    Just watched your new video, it was no better than your other videos, just this time you used an insane amount of delay. The problem with delay is, if you get too much fret buzz in your chords (like you did) it sounds really bad (like yours did). You should quit posting videos until you learn how to play guitar, I'm not saying that to be mean, I'm saying it so that maybe you will listen and focus on learning guitar.

  • @ARom16 sadly, yup. ESPs ad EMGs summed it up perfectly.

  • @ARom16 And thank FUCK I don't play like andy timmons! lol

  • screw esp... Jackson and BC Rich are the metal beasts

  • @kajthrashman personnaly i think that ESP is the best brand for metal guitar because the most famous guitarist have an ESP guitar

  • @95mistercool not about being famous, its about the sound. dean and epiphone all the way.

  • @mistermoshpit101 Haha Epiphone. Those entry level gutiars will get you nowhere kid. Great for learning, but that's it; and don't get me started on modern Deans.

  • @ardipithecus11 some of the worlds best guitarists play only on epiphone, don't spit things you know nothing about.

  • @dzaijn Some of the worlds best guitarists don't play anything resembling what you or I might consider to be the world's best guitars. The guitar does not a guitarist make.

  • @dzaijn It's called an endorsement. They handcraft the artists' models and instead of slapping a Gibson logo, they write in Epiphone, so kids go buy their made in china piece of shit imports thinking it's the real deal. Anyway, even if they didn't do this deceit, not because a lot of people do something it means that thing is a good thing. Stay in school kids.

  • Comment removed

  • @mistermoshpit101 Can't you read? The musicians who play the instruments don't make the brand said instruments belong to into something good. Even if it was the case, Rob Flynn? Seriously? I hope you are trolling there. I'll give you that Mustaine's signatures are good, but only the U.S. made models, like the ones he plays, because he doesn't play any korean mass made guitar, he just endorses them. Some Korean imports are good, yes, but they are nothing to go crazy about. Really, stay in school.

  • @ardipithecus11 Actually, Dave DOES play his imports. The silver Dean VMNT, that's Korean made.

  • @ardipithecus11 Dave does play some of the Korean made Deans. i met Willie G (Daves guitar tech) a while back and he also says it in a megadeth gear tour here on youtube. as for insulting Rob Flynn... im not even going to respond to that bullshit.

  • @ardipithecus11 you realy havent a clue about guitars have you, explain why you think Epiphone will get you nowhere? thats the most stupid thing i have ever heard. A good epiphone will take you as far as want! its about practice and determination not what it says on the headstock.

  • @bigbadstead True that. I play a used 100$ Yamaha with a hole busted in the side lol. I can still make my baby sing just fineeee.

  • @95mistercool just because some of the most famous musicians have them doesn't make them the best brand (i'm not disagreeing I love ESP but) it's personal preferance.

  • @kajthrashman *schecter*

  • Yeah if you don't theory and you're aspiring to be a competent lead player, you're screwed-and that doesn't just mean playing the minor pentatonic in any key. I quit playing with one guy 'cause he had no idea about theory and when I tried to teach him, he didn't want to learn.

  • @PapaGeorgio87 Wow, you are such an elitist. Should we bow down now or later?

  • @muriloninja Now.

  • Wow ...just fkn WOW!

  • that sounds better than my fucking half stack..

  • And it only cost a measly $400 :D just kidding

  • @darksk8ter11 it costs 250

  • @MatKiller1197 then you were ripped off. i got the combo and a cab for 320!!

  • @mistermoshpit101 what the 4x12 and amp for only 320? well i dint bought it but i might buy the ht5 or peavey vypyr 75 or line 6 spider iv 75 i dont know what to buy

  • @MatKiller1197 no i got the HT-1 combo (no reverb) and the 4x8 blackstar cab with it for 320. it sounds immense and i would recommend it over any of the amps you just listed

  • @mistermoshpit101 uuh ok i would buy that amp but it has really low volume i want something that i can gig with i dont have alot of money to buy 2 different amps one for practice and 1 for stage

  • @MatKiller1197 still for 250 i got an exremelly nice 4x12 cab and head

  • @darksk8ter11 really what cab and what head? can you do a demo on your channel so i can see it?

  • @MatKiller1197  yup

  • hello. is it a tube ampo?

  • @2009korte Yes

  • it's demonstration of the skill,actually this amp sounds like piece of shit

  • i hate when blackstar comments are always ''liked''

  • SOUNDS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!! IM GETTIN ONE

  • Now I wanna know how it sounds when I'm on holiday or something without a 2x12 cabinet or something and a microphone that records the sound and throws it through a mixer so we think we hear a big wall of HT-50H and Cabs.

  • How much are these amps?

  • gus g is fucking good!

  • I like he is saying he actually uses one of those bad boys, but the box the Blackstar guys brought it in, stands in front of the cabinet.

    This is ALL FOR SELLING :D

  • what pups does he use ??

  • I'm getting the HT-1 because it has less volume with the same amount of gain. I live in an apartment complex and I don't wanna disturb the neighbors. Haha.

  • which amp should i buy the ht1 or the ht5?

  • @MatKiller1197 Depends really, if you want a cheap TOTALLY AWESOME little amp, get the ht1, if you can, and want a bit more versatility in tone, get the ht5, its basically the same amp only louder and with more knobs

  • @joniiboy I have the same dilemma, 1 or 5. Any I live in an apartment, any idea if the HT 5 will be too loud then?

  • @Barefoot67 I really dont think a 5 watt will be to loud, you take pretty much any amp to volume 1 and just be really quiet :P shouldnt be a problem at all

  • @joniiboy Have you ever heard of cranked sound?

  • @MatKiller1197 ht 1 sounds a bit better. ht5 has some very usefull features as an fx loop.

  • Needs more cowbell

  • What mics are those is Gus's guitar? Looks like Seymor Duncan.

  • @MadCrokodile1 sh6 and sh2

  • @MadCrokodile1 now he is using his signature fire blackouts before them he used the blackouts and before these ones he used seymour duncan distortion and 59'

  • i got this amp what are setting in vid

  • Blackstar please answer!!!!! If I buy this amp is it going to make the same sound as in the vid cause I love this sound please tell me or else I will buy a Randall

  • its so fucking awesome that the camera gets a little hazy when gus shreds at 0:14 - 0:23

  • I am not crazy about the Blackstart amp line, but this most be the greatest tiny combo out there. The thing don´t sound small! The british and american eq is extremely smart, very nice clean sounds. I only wisht for one presence controll, to avoid the sound getting muddy with the gain. Small amps never have presence, so we have to use big heads for that... That´s why I don´t own one HT-1 : (

  • Never heard of this amp. I am going to check them out....

  • Too much shred wankery.

  • i just bought a line 6 2 spider cheaper than this small thing i always wanted to buy a blackstar but it is expensve for my pocket

  • @MatKiller1197 sir return that amp . please, im yet to hear one sound good.

  • @MattPurkis what do you mean with that?

  • @MatKiller1197 Line6's tend to sound like ass. Not bad for a practise amp, but if it's like an ace tone you're after, then move along :L

  • @dilbert103 also bought a me-25 boss multieffects pedal and a morley wah pedal less than this thing. i know line 6 sucks i thought that it was good i found it on ebay for 70$ and now i am like ''now i know why it was cheap beacuse it fucking sucks!!!)

  • that little thing beats my amp byfar

  • @soaring138 the 82 is used as the pre and the 83 as the power even though there both pre amp tubes LOL

  • @soaring130 the 82

  • I love my ht1 combo. sounds awesome as is but i often drive a 212 cab v30 and its awesome. awesome i tells ya.

  • :'( 

  • kills my micro cube..

    great amp.

  • it's sad, this 1 watt amp has way better amp distortion then my 100 watt

  • @drummerdudeperson crate made a 600 watts amp that sounds like shit. wattage has nothing to do with sound or distortion. not even with loudness. a 50 watts tube amp is going to be a hell of a lot louder than 200 watts solid state! and it's gonna sound 10 times better

  • Hi !

    Could you tell me please, if the ECC82 or ECC83 tube is in the preamp ?

    Thx !

  • Hell of a guitar and amp demonstration this guy has skill..

  • Come on!!! That's fake!!! Ρε Καραμητρουδη!!! Τι διαφημισεις κανεις??? Οχι και να ξεγελαμε τον κοσμο!!! Ελεος!!!

  • Could you tell me please, if the ECC82 or ECC83 tube ist in the preamp ?

    I guess ECC83 in first position = Preamp (see the description) and ECC82 in the poweramp.

    That's right ???

    Thx ! :-)

  • sounds way better then my cheap 15W amp.

  • Just an other soulless shredder.

  • @FinalFantasyCenter listen to the fire and the fury. you cant base that on a 1 minute vid of a guy who had only 3 hours of sleep. i wouldnt be creative either without sleeping

  • I'm considering to buy one but...how about your post sale assistance? is it improved? 3 years ago I bought an ht-5 and sent you a couple of mails, but I am still waiting for your answer

  • i wonder how it would sound if he used emg pickups...
