[LivinJoke84]

Shaving my shoulders.

Getting it all shaved off

[jfrizzlle]

what a great and mysterious man

[trusoundstudios]

mike is an absolute nut! Im gonna start using EH pedals just because of this video!



[chuchoteclas]

Love this Dude !!!

if i grow old i wanna be like him man !!!!

[vankog]

this is how companies' presidents have to look like

[Zebonka]

Robin Williams!

[waltdiamond]

Long Live Mike Matthews!!

[locobru11]

Real piece of shit...can buty little amps like this that are much better for 20 bucks..

Plus your guitar playing really sucks..I would like to buy it , so you can buy some clothes cause you look like a real asshole in those shorts......................AS­SHoLE

[emmaspd]

@locobru11 Did you just call Mike Matthews an asshole? Get your shit together, man,your brain is not working all too well.. This man's a genius!

Now, I'm not saying this pedal is his greastest masterpiece, haven't tried it and there isn't much to tell from the sound quality of a Youtube video, but Mike Matthews and Electro-Harmonix have come up with some of the most inventive gear, stuff that you probably have used or at least has been used in records you like, and I'm not guessing here, I KNOW.

[shango02005]

@emmaspd "locobru11" is lucky you can't be caught by a lynch mob on the internet! This man is one of my idols! Mr. Matthews is essentially responsible for pretty much the SOUND of rock and roll from 1968 on!!

[Aspacs]

just how much was he paid for getting off like this? :D

[MrTrauber]

I've got this thing. It's kick-ass. Never thought so. Use it to power my Talkbox. And in case my amp dies on stage I can run my 4x12" box with this unit too. And even this sounds great. Unbelievable crazy little thing.

[HardRockLeadGuitar]

22 watts of transistor power = no balls. Forget about using it with a drummer. Yes it will power all kinds of speaker combinations - but only good in your bedroom for wannabees...

[yabadabadoo68]

This is not a head.

It is a power amp and will produce sound but it is a POWER AMP.

To say it any other way confuses the kids.

And I am buying one of these power amps.

[yabadabadoo68]

Power amp.

[trepanationblues]

I really hope that there is something in this guys pocket. But, i doubt it.

[mikefiore6]

george carlin sells oxy clean?

[danpolicarpo]

Awesome, just awesome,,, and the .22 sounds pretty good too! "The final of the finale!" Yessir. That bite switch is a great feature...man, I want to go to there...

[xbase09]

works great as an amp for my heil talkbxo

[darkglasseffects]

"sorry you had to see me again" hahahaha Mike Mathews is the man!!

[BadChizzle]

Love it!

You guys are so much fun to watch.

[RichieBellafonte]

Tempo????

[Scumkill2]

That 'crazy old guy' is Mike Matthews, founder of EHX. This man is genius and he can jump, scream, dance and knock over the mic stands when he wants to. This man is a legend and hairy man from the EHX logo. And his son should be proud of his father. That's all.

[ericmdk]

Richard Simmons had nothing on you man! NOTHIN

[livanic]

hahah this guy is hillarious. Rock and roll!! The amp sounds nice too!

[INNERVOICExx36]

It can drive any cab but it is not loud and the rest of the bad will over power it. Nice try.

[birdiejoehoaks]

@INNERVOICExx36 they get pretty loud actually

[stratobuc]

@INNERVOICExx36......... that's why they invented microphones.

[INNERVOICExx36]

@stratobuc

And a lot of the places bands play at do not mic anything but the singer.. Sad but true.

[TheOzzk]

love it! 5*

[lmsjr]

haha - that was hilarious!! loved the vid. such enthusiasm. Got some smiles out of me !!

[hadlock]

Holy balls that's an awesome little(!) amp. I wish you'd released that before I went out and bought my valve jr. Now just add a 1/4/10/22 watt switch and you've opened yourself up to the bedroom rocker market.

[iBeatUpTaylor]

wow what dumbasses

[pierpanza]

mortacci che tajooooo!!!!

[deivsguitar]

thank you Mr. Gepeto!!!!

[bobert995]

scary old guy in short-shorts...I'm gonna have nightmares.

[PlumfulPixie]

El Jefe.....

[a6l6e6x100]

ahahahahha wtf was that?

[goodfreshie]

[liquidrpg]

Damn, his son is so embarrassed by him :)

[306827306827]

I love Mike Matthews...

[Guerillaradio13]

that old mans going for it

[joejohnjackson]

22 solid state shit all there pedals are killer but this one my god work on something else please

[WakG60613]

That's Mike Matthews, EH owner and founder.

[thozzman]

Hey this old burnout from Brooklyn with the hairy back and hot pants is quite an impressive spokesman. Next time tell him to leave the wife beater t-shirt at home. Do you really want this dude endorsing your products? Oy vey!

[dantemmm]

ahah man... you're too funny! Mike is an icon... but man, eheh... your comment really made me smile my belly out! :)

[thozzman]

grazie, sono contenta che hai trovato divertente. Ma lui è un tipo brutto.

[Guerillaradio13]

hahaha

[McLenison]

"Sock it to me, man" -Mike M. :-)

I "dig" the product, Mike M, contact me.

[guitarcapo]

22 watts my ass.

[anahowana]

i love E-H and i love so much these earthy,funny&laid back father&son!!

[sirgerry]

It's the 60's all over again!

[aadoyle7]

this video made my day on so many levels and its only 8.30 am

[bassaholicpong]

.22 caliber saves my life more than twice

[burliufo]

2:08 

FAIL

[kurama14890]

@burliufo Did microphone died?

[catfishanthony]

this is by far the greatist demo on youtube im in tears you guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!peace

[hanick27]

I'm glad to see that Robert Loggia is still getting work!

[ErnestNeedsAKidney]

Rule no. 1 of marketing: if a crazy old guy tells you to buy something you've got to.

[TheAngusBurger]

8x26x08 , don't put any pedals after this pedal, it gives out a speaker level output so you'll blow something up.

[truthoffiction]

Great amp. I just bought one today. Throw some choice pedals in front of it and you've got a killer little rig. "

"EH Socks it to me!"

[8x26x08]

ive got this and an ns-2 by Boss

which comes first from my guitar signal?

the noise supressor>Caliber

or

Caliber>Noise supressor?

[Abandonedmachine]

Check the ns-2's manual for max inut voltage. The output voltage of the .22 caliber might be a bit much for a ns-2. (so Ns-2 > .22 Caliber)

[leftchicago]

Gotta love Mike Matthews- he pretty much started the whole pedal effects thing and he's still "wildly" enthusiastic 40 years later. Rock on, dude!

[satrianirocks]

These ads are really, really bad. You're supposed to smoke a joint after the video is done guys.

On the upside the shoulder hair and jean shorts are pretty happenin' man.

[sandy50star]

Can thsi amp keep a clean sound at a reasonably high volume ?

[loslo]

I may buy one just so the old dude will put on some pants...just kiddin..we love you guys..keep rockin

[strabbs1]

ha ha poor owen looks mildly embaressed, brilliant "sock it to me man"

[BipolarBearry]

ummm...yeah, I don't know about that million ohms thing...

[omina3]

Wrong on so many levels LOL

[sdmikev]

greatest

demo

ever

[Bebisatch]

Im a fan of you guys. Your lucky you have a dad like him. I wish I had a dad like him.

[lerxst88]

at 2:07 he knocks over the mic. anyone else catch that?

that guy gets really hopped up on those three chords haha

[Slavuernes]

mike knows how to trock - but his pants and shoulders look better than the caliber 22 amp sounds. get it down, owen!!

[opethfan02]

dis dude & his son = my hero =D

[GroovyGuitar02]

it's not sad at EHX xD

[65Custom]

Don't know what to think about the amp by now. But Mike's "Mad-Professor"-attitude is about as cool as it can get!

[Bridgebain]

Cool, I can use it on my million ohm cab! Sweet!

[louislingg69]

pretty cool. I want one. Is the kind of amp that likes distortion pedals? Or does it sound like shit with them?

Some amps just don't react well with pedals....

[okearthling]

Mike Matthews is a stud

[gibshall]

god I love that guy

[alterdcrash]

cant wait till i get a tube amp,then i can get some realyl cooler sounds

[SidMcCall]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that it only runs 4 to 16 ohm cabinets. It won't do 2 ohm or (obviously) a million ohms.

[boardndude]

It should be able to handle a million ohms. Most SS amps are capable of driving any ohms at or above it's minimum ohm rating including an open circuit (infinite ohms).

[actron]

Mike Matthews= awesome dude

[SoundPlanner]

Cool amp demo

[lesscunning]

SOCK IT TO ME !!!

[unr3al34]

Go Mike. Wow great video.

[stratocastermaster2]

Mike Matthews = living legend

[ririnsu]

"dig it, sorry you have to see me again."

nah dude, you're the boss.

[brizr]

That man is a legend!

[Mushman34]

Somebody shave that man.

[Gonzokupa]

amen!

[oquedo]

real men have hair in their shoulders :D

[libertyfalls]

this guy looks like Albert Einstein's nut sack.

[waldo2384]

If an aging pro wrestler fucked a hairy monkey....and thier spawn took up a career hawking ginsu knives on the boardwalk....and then became an acid casualty...and then had a son who couldn't play guitar....

[copperblu]

....that person would be you?

[jazzand]

Hey, he's having fun.

You'll get old someday too (if you're lucky)!

[Macmax7077]

Man, i need to meet this guy, he is funny and he is in a word , Fun!

[Dupdopy]

Haha =)))

THATS how you should promote products :D

[dell4bq]

For $99 you can get a decent amp at least. This thing sounds as bad as that Gas Can amp that was made in the mid 80s from St. Loius Music aka Crate.

[dell4bq]

"Dig it!"

"Sock it to me man!"

"Owen, get downnn!"

"After a couple of bars, I'm gonna turn on the bite switch, oooooooooooooooooo!"

[Detman101]

lol....

=p

Dm

[oneswatter]

is that richard simmons long lost rockin brother!

[sergioXVII]

OH MY GOD

O.O

[Mural]

I've never heard a 4x12 sound so small.

[dell4bq]

And not a nice clean sound in the Caliber 22 at all... Not even a good high gain sound either... Too me this sounds like a cranked Gorilla amp with no distortion...

[Mural]

Haha absolutely... They should remarket it as the "Smaller Speaker Simulator (with headroom shrinker...)"

[Detman101]

Agreed!!

Dm

[seifukusha]

hairy!

[dell4bq]

and scary!!!

[Swervehead]

i really don"t need one....but Mike is so freaking cool and out there I might just have to pick one up....

[BornIntoTheGrave]

PS. LOLZ. OK so I'm still getting the amp even thu the vid is goofily weird :P

[BornIntoTheGrave]

FIRST!! WOOO
