Tone King Imperial, Tone King Galaxy & Tone King Metropolitan Amps

[chhau123]

is it just me thinks Lee looks a bit like muse's matthew bellamy..?

[motokev]

Excellent Video... I had the Imperial, sold it to get the Metro. Both amps are amazing.

thanks for not playing that METAL crap like on the other videos

[SynysterPeanut]

I used to be a guitarist like you, but then I took a headstock to the knee :/

[MrManson94]

Any amps with a similar tone to the Metropolitan, but with a smaller prize? Let's say 500-1000 euros...

[givemeajackson]

tone king is a bad name for an amp cause the "tone king" on youtube makes everything sound like shit...

[ScreamingTubes]

@givemeajackson here here - I freakin hate accidentally clicking on that fat dwarf's inane offerings...

[givemeajackson]

@ScreamingTubes * hear hear. sorry bout that. but i agree, he made an engl fireball sound like cardboard, he demoes metal amps with rock riffs, scooped settings and too much gain, and last but not least he talks till your ears fall off...

[hipermandan]

Yes! Everything is free.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

10:52

This isn't just any amp, it's a Tone King Imperial amp ;)

[darvyowolf]

try a 1959 bassman how ever this Galaxy is way cooler!

[darvyowolf]

I used to have a 1950's silvertone guitar the same color set up as the Imperial

Cookies For Every One!!

[Siggorillo]

Holy fuck those sound goddamn amazing.

[GunsNRosesliveson]

Caption I have the same...shoes as you lol

[shaddow12289]

Evil Robot evr-30 demo?

[guitarzz24]

Are there going to be anymore chapman guitars coming out?

[chrismortloch92]

chappers and phil X need to have an shredoff, I don't even know who would win

[jaybals]

awsome demo guys! Nice to see a mix of boutique amps you now have at andertons. What are the chances of you one day stocking Cornells?

[jlewis9119]

Could you and Lee do a review on the Evil Robot amp by Fretted Americana? People need to be introduced to an amp as amazing as it is!

[WaffleTheAlmighty]

@jlewis9119 I agree!

[spctator63]

6L6 60W...hmmm...666?

[MeFFF]

Actually they are Cheaper then those Eric Clapton Tweed Amps from Fender :D

[giggs102]

nice.. but so expensive... x_x

[ChrisAtShootsyou]

Haha.. 'Timing a tremolo is a bit like fcuking a fat chick'..

[McKennaEthan]

Chappers and Lee keep what you're doing! Few people on Youtube can keep my attention for over a half out :)

[AzzaDutt]

You have to admire good forward penetration *giggle*

[ZZeppelinZoso]

amps sound great but i think the guitar sounds shit really. sry

[AngadSinghMusic]

i actually gave the bro fist :P

ps: can you please demo a mustang 1 by fender?

CHAPPPEPRSSS WIN :D

[molomono]

@AngadSinghMusic They already demo'ed all the fender mustang amps, actually i think the mustang is both in a shootout video and in a demo.

[AngadSinghMusic]

@molomono thanks :)

i hadn't seen those yet :)

[93danne93]

forward penetration?!

[Neverlast2010]

Hey guys, great demo as always. Thanks too for not over-editing and giving us nearly 40mins of great tones from these bad boys - its much appreciated! One request though - it would be great if when demoing the higher-end, more vintage style, low/mid gain amps, if you could also show what they sound like when boosting an already driven amp tone using a quality drive pedal etc.

[RNAMUSICShortStShred]

bleed the light.

so nice.



[adam10603]

When you did the attenuation test thing at 29:48 I turned up my speakers loud, then as CapN raised the volume, I kept turning my speakers' volume down (so basically I was listening to it at a constant volume). I'll be honest: I didn't notice any change in the tone. This circuit rocks!!

[SeanagnewA7X]

A love these review videos

[artistssoftpastels]

Guess I should have read the description, nevermind! Tally ho!

[artistssoftpastels]

Is that a Wallimann track? ;)

[Piecakesman]

10:31 Like a boss

[TheDarkLancelot]

Hey Chappers,

What do you think about Engl-Amps?

I personally got a Gigmaster 30 and i got an amazing tone out of it with my ml-2. ;)

[HeerDutchman]

Best sounding amp ever. Knopfler use an imperial for his concert... And he knows how an amp must sound.

[Robstafarian]

If the Metropolis was in head form, I'd be cursing like a witch on meth (because, you know, money).

[djhawkster]

Backing Track PLEASE!

[nitemunky76]

Awesome clean tones...

[ArkAngelHFB]

Love how Lee is tired so he just kinda sits back and is like whatever... you guys get lee at 30% today... and you'll like it too.

[MrNellodee]

these videos are sooooo long now.. i mean 10 mins was pushin it

[nitemunky76]

@MrNellodee This is essentially 3 reviews in one video.

[nblax41]

Cap'n should grow a soul patch. Just sayin'.

[sXeSnowmansXe]

Dear Gods these amps are smooth.

[0yavuz]

@RobChappers

can you guys please do a metal review of the new jim root signature amp?

im sure alot of othre people want to see it too

[Maccadude33]

I heard me some Black Hole Sun in there. xD

[DragonFarceRock]

@RobChappers No clue, but careful now Chappers, that comment borders on almost sounding troll-like, and you wouldn't stoop to being an arrogant troll, now would you?

[mudbone80]

@RobChappers I would guess the one and only TTK, but he's too nice of a guy to do something like that :-)

[johntonyroche]

sound like Rory Gallagher for under 1000 please its so hard to find a great tube screamer + amp to get that screaming tone

[jonesr227]

Chappers, that first solo was really great!!!

[CKS5000]

you're right, he does know? Tone is his business, and business is good!

[JerryBeatFreak]

Yeah, If anyone wants to donate a Metropolitan to me, Feel free to. I wouldn't mind at all, I promise!

[JFrozza]

Capt. Lee always use the same snickers LOL

[mikeygheetarz]

24:12 sounded like I'm Broken by Pantera :)

[JSatriani222]

@mikeygheetarz thats cochise by audioslave

[THEZAKINATOR101495]

How to sound like John Petrucci for under 1000??

[viola0shredder]

@THEZAKINATOR101495

STERLING JP 50 (300) crunch lab (100) then you have 600 to spend on a tube amp of your liking. most of the tone comes from great electronics in the guitar

[PuR1fy]

What's the riff at 16:35? ^^

[Bwade87]

@PuR1fy Just Got Paid by ZZ Top

[PuR1fy]

@Bwade87 Thanks a lot! ^^

[mankindooo]

this may be dumb but a tone comparison between diffrent cables and guitar picks might be interesting as well as an es 335 demo

[Decrypted33]

@RobChappers me...muhahahahaha just kidding

[CampfireHedphaz]

16:35 things just got serious.

[Pmichteinz]

sooooo creamy and delicious.... I want one.... immediately!

[teezer123]

drive channel makes me cry !

[Fokseh]

EVERYTHING IS FREE!!!!

[digiscream]

Holly crap...that Imperial has the best clean sound I've ever heard. The perfect clean recording amp :)

[electroneticTV]

was there already a sounds like steve vai for under 1000? .. 'Zakk wylde was already there I think.. ahdajsbd hjsvfh

[electroneticTV]

2400 pounds.. thats awesome.

[DeathBringer769]

Today I learned of the legendary Bass Mule. Thank you Chappers :D

[RobChappers]

@DeathBringer769 Bestow him offerings of aural nourishment and he may spare you \m/

[CobraGTXNoS]

Captain Lee keeps that rhythm going really good. Then you, Chappers, make that lead amazing!!!

[BrotherJallan]

love the Doors moment at 5.47, sweet!



[TheBallTicklers]

Forward penetration. Agreed.

[ImaDjentleman]

"the forward penetration is something to be admired" 3:59

[shredder0911]

Wattage is technically volts*amps for DC, with phase angles involved for AC. To get the most volume from a watt of power, you must match impedance between output of amp and the speaker(s) - I think ;~}

[101guitarest]

Sound like green day for under £1,000

[tylerdwells]

@101guitarest Boss DS-1 haha

[dimebagriffs]

I want to hear Chappers & Lee Collaboration tunes on a cd!!!!!!

[GuillermoSmyser]

Some ideas for more "sound like for under 1000" videos (maybe include pickup replacement ideas...)

Van Halen, Clapton, Knopfler, Tremonti, Petrucci, Djent (the genre), Gilmour, Chappers!!!!

[TheChinovnik]

my kind of amps... not my kind of budget. :-(

[GuillermoSmyser]

Sound like Chappers for under 1000!!!!

[RobChappers]

@GuillermoSmyser  Orange Dark Terror and a Chapman ML-1. That's my live rig \m/

[JoeGuitarGuy]

@RobChappers Glad to know you still use Orange :)

[Crazymofoinamajikbox]

@RobChappers I thought you were with Marshall

[BaneOfXistence4]

Chappers did you go to the NAMM show as well? If you did, did you see Satch's new signature Marshall Head?

[jermrox1]

can u guys please do a sound like andy timmons for under 1000 pounds?

[GuillermoSmyser]

@jermrox1 That's a great idea. Andy Timmons under 1000 would be great.

But I am afraid they will just say "spend 1000 on the best lessons" or "spend the amount of time it would take you to earn 1000 and practice" Cause so much of Andy's tone is just his expression via dynamics and great control over bending and note choice.

[ckcoolidge]

OMG 36:22 is a new classic Chappers LMAO!

[salisburysimon]

King awesome. Right up my street. Drooling like Pavlov's dogs at a drooling show! Have them shammied down and sent to my tent!

[Gashtalf]

Nice Vintage Sound, with lots of presence and bass. Pretty freaking cool.

[Twiggyay]

Drop C# cruise control for badass.

[hawg427]

Great Tone, if you have a nice bank acct. :-)

[ckcoolidge]

All bow to Hendrix at 11:36 NOW!!

[wesmatron]

That ToneKing amp sounds fkn beautiful

[MeanGreenMovies]

I loves me some Soundgarden!

[Dimebag08RIP]

30 seconds into the video and I'm compelled to pick up my axe straight away! haha Great video Rob! :)

[villafan95]

hoooorrraayyyy for the Alter Bridge top!!!!

[16YearsInHell]

Blues, just what I need. Thanks

[TheGuitarguy2112]

pick drop 1:29

[VictorLima1992]

Can somebody tell me what riff Chappers played at 31:06? It's sound so awesome. By the way amazing demo, as always.

[RobChappers]

@JandTRockBand2 I guarantee you something awesome \m/

[Esbanez]

10:50 thats not just any guitar playing......thats M&S guitar playing

[DanDeePee]

Pro Guitar Shop uses an imperial in a bunch of their demos, they should do the evil robot and have a youtube guitar party

[Narutogotguts]

Wow, I just love this demo vid. You're a great inspiration Chappers. Keep on rockin'!

[SuperMegaMantus]

Can you tell me the model of the mic next to the SM57?

[supermikkel100]

Do some Joe Bonamassa, that would be cool

[RobChappers]

@BossPenguin100 Awesome I hope you enjoy them mr penguin :-)

[IsaacDeanMusic]

10:46 Real dubstep

[Jacko11120]

I love this video. I just put it on in the background while surfing the internet. Lovely clean playing from both of you. Amazing amps too!

[tMattLZ]

The mini classroom bit at 15:00 actually taught me a lot about amps. Thanks!

[BossPenguin100]

just bought two of your guitar straps chappers^^ I'll put straplocks on my LTD AX-400 and put the strap on it and I guess I'll never take it down again :D the other one is gonna be used on my GOOD acoustic ;)

[Edlamb0306]

PLEASE demo the #4 Orange Jim Root Signature amp when it's available. That would be awesome!

[acdc933ty]

can't wait for the evil robot demo!

[bushibayushi]

Couldn't wait the next video ;) Awesome as always.

Any chances of you guys making a shootout between the Fender Blues Junior, Peavey Classic 30 and Laney VC30? ;)

[Kid0fThePast]

Can you guys demo the Fender Pawnshop amps when you get your hands on them?

[deadwaldo]

When you're going to demo the Evil Robot please DON'T PLAY Funk 49 and Communication Breakdown...you know why!

[CIAmrx]

Black Hole Sun!

[Astuddedbelt]

Chappers! That version of Albatross was epic!

[SamDunlopGlennie]

Imperial.... YUM!

[Xen8]

It would be awesome if you could demo the evil robot!!!

[Foreignsik]

I triple dog dare you to demo THE GREAT DESTROYER by Dwarfcraft.

[Xen8]

EVIL ROBOT!!!

[Monopoly569]

could you do a demo of the excelsior please?

[KurtisBrudenell91]

DECIBEL IS A RATIO

NOT A MEASUREMENT 

[ryanjacko1]

YESS A 40 MINUTE VIDEO FROM CHAPPERS!!!!!!

[heminder]

that's the company that sued The Tone King's youtube channel =P

Capt'n Lee - you should try to get hold of some Elmwood amps! =)

[Gianni5335]

What is the song at 24:35 ???

i know the song but i forgot the name, but i need to know it!!! :D

[joekiernan]

@Gianni5335 Paranoid, Black Sabbath.

[MiketheGuitarDude91]

Hey Rob, Any chance of you demoing the Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier 25?

[AndertonsMusic]

Nice work Mr C - loving the new editing stuff & looking forward to seeing the FX bank put to more use soon! And for all you Evil Roboteers out there - I promise to demo these amps with Chappers just as soon as they arrive in the UK - probably in March.

[PRSpl4yer]

Punchy. Yes.

[hampurilainenXXL]

I wonder how loud they could be if they went to 11...

[MegaDavetastic]

chappers you need new shoes....

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

10:05 + 10:45 = LOL

[ksw33d]

How I've missed you guys ;D

[MBvolcom92]

I thought this video was kinda feature the youtuber "toneking" so happy it wasn't. probably the worst guitar reviewer on youtube.

[BaleviH]

YESSSS finally a video of you two i missed you :D

can you review the Schecter Special C-1 please? :)

[Kelberwitzi]

Amazing playing as always, I get to have a lesson with this guy! Hell yes \m/

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

I don't like the imperial's clean sound, and when you crank it, it sounds like farting in a jar.

[AndertonsMusic]

@QueenToKingOfSpades I know what you mean, but thats pretty much how all the old amps sound! You'd need a pedal to smooth up the drive sound on one of these, but its only really going to appeal to someone looking for the sounds from the 60s.

[RobChappers]

@AndertonsMusic Does it do metal?? \m/

[rgjmce666]

@RobChappers it fails for metal but i hear that a tiny terror is good for it ;)

[AndertonsMusic]

@RobChappers I've heard Anthrax have just bought a Metro, and Slayer are going out with Galaxys on the next tour.

[Nickpatient]

@AndertonsMusic Jeff Hanneman's new JCM Galaxy signature? I thought that was top secret? Where did you hear that? :O

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

@AndertonsMusic And of course that might be some other guy's ideal sound, but i do prefer the sound of a DivineAmplification "overdrive-special" amp :) But then again i prefer playing acoustic xD I'd actually like it if you did more acoustic reviews and demos :)

[bukman66]

it looks like you're having a lot of fun with those amps, hope to see more from you chappy

[trhnpc]

That riff at 13:30!!!! Can somebody tell me if it's from some song? Maybe his original?

[RobChappers]

@trhnpc That is "White Rose" by Rob Chapman... me ;-)

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

@RobChappers That riff in White Rose is epic Chappers o.O

[RobChappers]

@xXMusicxMadnessXx I'm using it in SVR now so it should be in a recording soon ;-)

[trhnpc]

@RobChappers thx:)

I will learn that riff now, if you don't mind :)

[kenco117]

Chappers dropping the pick = classic. ;D

[Pickeeen]

Demo the Evil Robot.

[RobChappers]

@Pickeeen  ha ha we can definitely demo the Evil Robot ;-)

[PortGuitarPlayer4]

@RobChappers BOTH Evil Robot's! The "real" and the newer version, that's cheaper! And the Fender Excelsior! Really interested in that amp too!

[SavageDutchman]

@RobChappers you will need to crank it and play it with a p90

[JandTRockBand2]

@RobChappers Any chance of Phil X guest Demoing that? aha :D

[S4dist1cK]

what was the song at around 11:42?

[RobChappers]

Sorry about the odd looking green gremlin at 8:04, new software so I'm getting used to it...

[MaxGrindleTV]

Love you Chappers! Demoing any of the new Gibson range maybe?...

[RobChappers]

@MaxGrindleTV Love you to dude, and yes anything new and stocked by Andertons will always be demonstrated by me ;-)

[damadstuntman]

@RobChappers Soooo looking forward to the Evil Robot demo once Andertons got it in stock :)

[VIIZEROIIV]

@RobChappers I know you said ANYTHING new, but does that mean the new Ibanez Premiums too? :D

[kyzrvlhlm1995]

PLEASE DEMO THE NEW FENDER PAWN SHOP AMPS CHAPPERS AND CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@kyzrvlhlm1995 You know that's going to happen buddy ;-)
