PHIL X Evil Robot™ EPISODE III.mov

[jaj145]

Sorry Phil, but no one can not sing like Bon Scott.

[bubbleheadft]

-whiny voice-

But WHY does it have to be so EXPENSIVE!?

[Mikerockgod3]

@bubbleheadft its all american parts and for a boutique amp is very cheap

[dressedtosmellgood]

i would buy anything at all if it was called sausage gobbler?

[mirshz1]

Wazzaaaaap dude! I wonder what string size he uses on the stratocaster, 0.9 or 1.0?

[stever819]

What was the song in the intro?

[kochiyose12]

i have watched phil x for years in frettedamericana but i thought it was "tonemaster" but realized its "tonemonster" LOL

[soggyblunts420]

how much for the cabinet and head?

[MrFuck1006]

how mutch do the tonemonster cost

[giggs102]

@MrFuck1006 its called the evil robot now.. its 1595 if im correct.. or 1500

[777RAD777]

do you have to crank it to get a crunch sound or does it have a preamp?? im interested in one but its rare when ill get to crank an amp to get natural breakup. even at 18 watts.

[giggs102]

@777RAD777 i think phil cranks it when hes at frettedamericana

[giggs102]

@jackoboy123sd i think he something like that..

[MrOri68]

oh cool! did you design the amp?! and if not, im sorry for being the stupid guy.....

[TheGoryl1]

I feel like the Tonemonster or Evil Robot brings out the characteristics of the different guitars better then the Tonemaster

[LosMouertos]

this is the last video you made that the evil robot sounds good

[lawdymellons]

I think the evil robot sounds better than the original tonemaster, it is fuller and more awesome

[greenkamo]

What is the song at 1:57 ?

[hardrock52210]

@greenkamo stevie ray vaughn little wing

[greenkamo]

@hardrock52210 Ty

[MultiPowerage]

@hardrock52210 Jimi Hendrix wrote the song, but Stevie has covered it

[hardrock52210]

@MultiPowerage

I noooooow,but i like more srv version....

[MultiPowerage]

@hardrock52210 It's Awesome, but nobody can do it like Hendrix and nobody can do it as SRV. You are right in a way because when i think about it, SRV almost made a whole new song when cover that song ;)

[Casteanguitar]

@greenkamo Jimi Hendrix - Little wing

[motorhead1995able]

if the name ''tonemonster'' is taken why didnt u use tone maestro instead of evil robot?

[mrporrat]

Redphil mode on!

[juanchinchon1991]

dale men , yeahh..¡¡

[avenger4546]

Hey phil were u on the clean channel when u did Little Wing Intro ? Thx

[RC62Scorch]

damn. that amp is so phat.

[IDanClarkI]

UNIVOX. SORRY .

[IDanClarkI]

have any unisex or mosrite? 

[LaynesAddiction]

my tech 21 trademark 60 and power engine 4x10 sounds better.

[MagicHetero]

I didnt know Ian Gillan playe guitar

[mattrags21]

THE TONE MONSTER SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!

[69r0xx]

I just realized that I could have brought this amp instead of my current amp. I hate myself so much by now!

But my amp is pretty sweet anyway.

Could this be shipped to Sweden?

[frettedamericana]

@69r0xx Yes, we ship worldwide!

[bladerunner12]

Everyone should have a speaker break-in rig to get rid of that harshness associated with the stiffness in the cone of a new speaker.

[jimibob68]

have you ever checked out weber speakers in kokomo indiana i use them in my fender champ rebuilds they are hand made to sound like the originals check them out i think you will like em im thinking about puting one in my 1965 magnatone .

[jimibob68]

have you ever checked out weber speakers in kokomo indiana i use them in my fender champ rebuilds they are hand made to sound like the originals check them out i think you will like em im thinking about puting one in my 1965 magnatone

[FINCHster]

this amp is totally whack!

[futebalmakedonia]

you played highway star i love you phil, ther i said im not even ashamed

[unionjackamps]

Inspiring!!

[Thekeon3]

Do you think I can buy the old logo on the black market and stick it on my new amp?Kidding:>)

[Thekeon3]

I completely dig that.I guess I was trying to say that not all people appriciate the intention but everyone would love this amp.It really sounds great overthere.I am fixin to get one based on the YT sound .Phil X makes everything sound amazing but I can still hear the amp's expressive essance. I've known a few evil robots hehe.Unbelievable! Maybe I'm still not over them? LOL Cheers brothers and I hope Mr.X never gets tired of doin his thang on Fretted Americana! Koool

[Thekeon3]

Too bad you had to change it to such a juvenile name. I know people that don't like dark references..."Evil" is so cool to say but come on! All that work for an undignified name.Yayaya it's rock&roll but listen to a name like Vox....I can play without explaining to anyone the whole story of an amp. Anyway ,I take playing deeply and I get silly but I like to have a choice when I'm silly.Great sounding amp.Probably the best out there!

[frettedamericana]

@Thekeon3 I guess we can't make everyone happy... the truth is ... Evil*Robot is the name of a DRILLS song written by Phil X and refers to Ex-girlfriends, so i n a way it's really appropriate and kind of funny... don't judge a book by it's cover... it's an awesome sounding amp and that's what really counts right?

[LWRCftw]

@Thekeon3 lol some flaming idiots out there. IS EVIL NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT ENOUGH FOR YOU, YA SHMUCK?!!

[kristicrosswell]

@LWRCftw Love the amp but, I still think it's a childish name!!! Political Schmitical na - na - na - na - na -!

[kristicrosswell]

@LWRCftw Evil Robot...great song title....childish name for an amp....wha-wha-wha!

[Thekeon3]

@LWRCftw  $1500 to have that tone i know what you mean but, i still think i'd rather see the name Phil X when i turn around to look at my amp that the crowd is looking at while i'm playin'....Evil Robot just "aint" a classy name.

[LWRCftw]

@Thekeon3 it's the name of a Drills song. So it fits.

[Thekeon3]

@LWRCftw i bet you put your hand under your arm and make fart noises while playing at the same time Beevis...

[dressedtosmellgood]

@Thekeon3 speaking of juvenile, grow up. who the fuck cares what the name is?

[Thekeon3]

@dressedtosmellgood if i don't care what name is on my amp i'm grown up? you're kidding right?

[dressedtosmellgood]

@Thekeon3 statistically speaking, i think its more likely

[Nickpatient]

@dressedtosmellgood I don't think that Evil Robot is even a bad name but, you're saying you don't care about amp names? You'd play a full stack called "Sausage Gobbler" or "I am a fucking douche" ? Just wondering.

[bubbleheadft]

@Nickpatient I for one would definitely play a stack called "Sausage Gobbler," just for the novelty.

[Nickpatient]

@bubbleheadft Come to think of it, if it sounds good it'd be the most epic amp ever. :)

[depien]

@Thekeon3 I agree. Evil Robot sounds like something for hard metal. Would be a great name for a Mesa boogie rectifier. This amp is way different.

[Honeythebeebee]

8:40, he's as red as the wine red guitars at the bottom haha

[fluff191]

I really like the Evil Robot better. The Tonemaster sounds like the speaker is about to give up the ghost. Which I am sure is the case due to it's age.

[TheBodig]

hi

i want one of theses amps

shipping to germany??

240 Volts??

[carlosfrusciante1]

Hi, really love this amp. Can it be played clean? or does it always have a bit of gritty sound on it. Thanks

[scrot31bot]

one of the best sounding amps ive ever heard, if i wanted to buy one could it be shipped to birmingham uk

[frettedamericana]

@scrot31bot the EVIL*ROBOT can DEFINITELY be shipped to the UK....please email

[frettedamericana]

@scrot31bot debra "at" frettedamericana "dot" com to snag one of the last hand signed limited editions!!!

[oOFirefaceOo]

I totally want one of those

[frettedamericana]

@oOFirefaceOo check out our website!

[mercymood]

one thing I just don't get it, if the tonemaster is wery rare and become wery popular amp, why are you making only 100 of tonemonster (evil robot)?

[frettedamericana]

@mercymood We made 100 special edition Evil*Robot amps with a custom hand-signed plate by PhilX, David Brass, and John Kasha...additional amps will be available after this run, but they won't be numbered or have a signature on them

[mercymood]

@frettedamericana

cool...tnx

[mercymood]

@frettedamericana

cool...tnx

[joaogodooy]

omg, am i stoned? phil x IS NOT WEARING A BLACK T SHIRT!

[themusima]

so better sell that tonemaster to edv before it hasn't fallen apart :P

[GuitarBlues3]

I wanted Phil X to say "This is a 1954 Strat. Serial Number 0002."

[TheTruthRocks]

@PBANDSNOW & TouchMyZoltan: the first tune Phil plays is Life In the Fast Lane, by The Eagles.

And YES, I have an Evil Robot on the way to me =o)

[1SlashRocks1]

Please tell me that FrettedAmericana won't stop selling these!

[PBANDSNOW]

Whats the first song?

[guitarbrain666]

i bet the tonemonster is feeling really jealous and neglected...and you should demo the les paul with the maple fretboard

[sfentonas11]

the tonemaster is to smooth to my ears. the evil robot has more punch! i love it!

[TouchMyZoltan]

what is the name of the first song he plays??

[Stringprodigy]

Are you guys only making 100 of these? I want one, dammit!

[frettedamericana]

@Stringprodigy we are making 100 hand signed EVIL ROBOTS and are nearly sold out, so if you want one, please email us at info@frettedamericana com as soon as possible. thanks

[robibm2003]

Both amps sound awesome, but the Tonemonster has more balls. Great demo, Phil.

[tranepinnee]

yeaaa hells bellss phil x you are a legend =)

[Macc2356]

:P This Guys Drinks WAAAAAAAAAAAAY To Much Coffee!!!!!!!!!!

[RobinIvarsson]

F*uck! I love the amp. I better start selling myself to get money for it.

[lralbrecht]

he got really red there ahha

[boomwa2002]

kinda like blue speakers vs greenbacks....vintage vs in your face respectively....love it

[Noseheros]

I like how he never says he's switching to the evil robot...apparently he's switching from the tonemaster to the tonemaster everytime...but both sound great lol

[06mgibson]

@Noseheros no hes saying hes switching to the TONEMONSTER which is what they tried to call it first but they had to call it the evil robot for copyright reasons apparently.. but they both sound fucking great

[bogdandisco]

Do You have any tattoo Phil ??

[sippymax]

i wish i had this amp it sounds so so so so good i have been looking for a sound on a amp like that.

[HarryAndAGuitar]

Phil X should do a 100 Favourite riffs video series.

[ddos411]

This guitar has a WIDE wing!

[ilmanmuutajamuutilma]

SEX! Now when ive got your attention id like to know the intro song.

[MiloMovieMakers]

@ilmanmuutajamuutilma life in the fast lane by the eagles

[ilmanmuutajamuutilma]

@MiloMovieMakers i mean between the 0:00 - 0:12

[MiloMovieMakers]

@ilmanmuutajamuutilma ah. The Drills - I Wish My Beer Was As Cold As Your Heart. It's Phil's Band

[ilmanmuutajamuutilma]

@MiloMovieMakers Thanks man!

[xxguitarhero48xx]

Do you guys know if this is just a limited run with only so many being made? Because I want to have this guitar in 3 years! but I don't have the money right now. Thanks, Nolan.

[1SlashRocks1]

"HEY MAN, IT'S PHIL X!!! And this is gum..." LMFAO

[fitipaldi90]

Could somebody tell me the price of both amps? i've been searching the price for weeks...

[frettedamericana]

@fitipaldi90 The EVIL ROBOT is $1,595 plus shipping

[GREGCAROLAN]

EVIL ROBOT PEDAL PLLLEEEEAASEE!

[SavageDutchman]

The only difference between the two is the ageing of the ToneMaster in my opinion.

[KovacsBalazsHungary]

What is the song from  4:38?

[guitarbrain666]

@KovacsBalazsHungary highway star by deep purple

[spider5001]

i am thinking evil robot + free all right now = AWESOME!!! Who's wit me!!!!! =D

[hatehomework]

love you fretted americana but cmon im 14 how the HELL do i afford this please dont do a gibson on us

hate that peice of new firebird x crap

[OzziePete1]

Big question is: Will Phil X use the EVIL*ROBOT in the studio now instead of the Tonemaster, as the Tonemaster is so fragile..or if it eventually falls apart?

[frettedamericana]

@OzziePete1 If you listen to the video celebrating our 10 million hits, Phil talks about using the EVIL*ROBOT in the studios and how everyone absolutely raves about it.

[OzziePete1]

@frettedamericana Checked the vid, and yep he mentions blowing people's ears out in studio with E*R. Didn't hear that first time, was either half asleep or concussed by Phil's playing! Waiting on reply from Caroline on how to pay via PayPal etc. to get my order started, so I'm serious. Sounds similar to an old "F" style amp I had years ago, but better!

[ThePigster1234]

this video really shows the superiority of the tonemaster when he plays AC/DC on the Jr. The distortion on the tonemonster/evil robot sounds less natural, kind of like a fuzzy distortion pedal. Tack on a $1600 price tag and you've got one worthless, 18watt replica.

[philotze]

Actually, its the person who made the amp sound priceless....None other than Phil X.....

[gnayiew95]

did he say that he was HANGING OUT with eddie van halen?

[superkalman]

is this amp called the evil robot or the tonemonster cuz on a lot of videos the amp says evil robot

[frettedamericana]

@superkalman we had to change the name because of legal issues with Fender. The amp is now called The EVIL*ROBOT.

[ilr111]

@frettedamericana what does fender have thats called "tonemonster?"

[frettedamericana]

@ilr111 - we had to change the name because of legal issues with Fender. The amp is now called The EVIL*ROBOT.... IT IS THE SAME AMP - ONLY THE NAME HAS CHANGED.

[skotty92]

@frettedamericana I think the question was - what in the Fender catalog is named Tonemonster? I also never heard of a Fender invention or product which is calles Tonemonster for that matter...

[NewOscarGuy]

@skotty92

The Estey Organ Co. made the original Tonemaster a little while later Fender made a Tone-Master amp to try and copy the amp, but as expected Fender failed and their copy sucked! since Leo wasnt maning the company at that time.

P.S. I like the Master over the Monster myself. It was a nice CLEAN hard rock sound and the Master aka Evil Robot sounded like any other high gain noisy amp to me.

[Jrg320]

@skotty92 They don't need to have ever produced a product with the name to trade mark it for a patent under the company name.

[Mudder1310]

@ilr111

I think Fender owns the rights to Magnatone and all the names, including Tone Master.

[bushibayushi]

this particular worn out tonemaster is the best sounding amp I have ever heard

Mr Phil X, you are THE man

[Musicman1413]

Can you please demo the les paul with those mini humbuckers?

[CascadiaTrucker]

Damn, that's definitely an amp I hope to get in the future, too bad I can't afford it now.

[WideSword]

Did Phil just tell the EVH joke second time :DDD

[GoodGearGuy]

Take it from a guy that has built a sh*t ton of amps, the speaker in the monster needs to be broken in for years to get that great complexity. Don't worry, it will be as good or better once those surround have been abused for a while. Now it sounds really good, but new. Tighter tolerance resistors, poly caps, less coupling in the power supply, tight surrounds - new. It gets better, like wine.

[MTSwannson]

tonemonster is definetly brighter than the tonemaster. i would sell my left nut for this amp. too bad thats the only one i have :(

[darthdude1016]

are you able to get a clean sound out of this

[GoHabs13]

phils face gets so red when he sings.

[xzibit2313]

HIGHWAY STAR SOUNDS AWESOME ON TONEMONSTER

[mayhembiff]

The Tonemonster sounds better with the Strat but the Tonemaster sounds better with the P90s.

[oOFirefaceOo]

@mayhembiff absolutely agree.. so we need both of them :D

[richogem]

@mayhembiff phil x talked about this. when removed the back cover and did rotated the speaker or something, it sounded the same.

[rtsoccerplayer]

what song at 4:41?

[inside71slice]

@rtsoccerplayer the song (and the solo) is Highway Star by Deep Purple

[ThePower8]

The guitar to the left of the SG lookin Melody Maker is a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe right? I would love to hear that thing too ;)

[THEBLUR2583]

phil should do somthing on a telecaster

[ejimenezro]

Whats the name of the first song??

[BobCronley]

Yow! Now all you need is 50 watt and 100 watt versions. Nah, just get a small PA to mic it through. Thanks for playing Highway Star.

[Simto]

Monster kills the master on the P90's

Oh man, i would love get the Tonemonster, use it for dirt and my FTR 37 for cleans.

[sarobinson56]

It's good that you guys made the ToneMonster, Phil...'cause Eddie apparently has ALL of the other ToneMASTERS! But dang it, the Tonemaster just sounds a tad more....hot.

Trebley, rippy, sharper, great. Maybe as the Tonemonster ages, it'll get that lovely fatigued sound too, huh?

[codybell87]

2 requests for next shows. the blue melody maker everyones buzzin about and the Les Paul with mini humbuckes. PLEASE FA PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!.

[lighteningboy]

Goddam, that Tonemonster sounds awesome! Canadians approve, lol

[richiepowa]

hello everyone,

I heard something wrong at 7'49 with the P90, a sound on the back of the tone...am I alone?

[ilr111]

6:46 nice E. Van Halen impersonation!

[SolidShroom]

What's gonna happen when the new speaker in the Tonemonster ages? Will it sound even more like sex?

[AeliusTehMan]

It's funny how red Phil's face got singing Hell's bells haha. Great voice though :D

[rishino]

Ive seen that Melody Maker (SG body) in the bagground for some time now. When are you guys gonna do a vid about it?

[Everywhere404]

i would one hundo percent buy one if it was a little bit more affordable. i love the sound with the strat

[bluescrusher]

What's the price on the monster? Both great amps!

[vikkslash]

someone knows what music plays from 0:00 to 0:12 ??

[epiphonelp100g]

@vikkslash i wish my beer was as cold as your eart by the drills

[marshall1gibson]

How much is this amp? and how much it would cost to send to Spain? thanks

[chrisjeffsmusic]

phil's tone in all of these vids makes me pitch a tent, really awesome

[thenamesfrancisco]

you can never really tell the difference over youtube gotta hear it in person

[chibisven]

That 2 amp split in hells bells sounded sick. Something about the very subtle differences made it way more interesting to me. Phil you should totally take them in the studio and Y split into both amps and hard pan them left and right in the mix.... then send me the track. That would sound SICK!!!!

[vpundekgarcia]

My God, this thing is build for P90s!!!! Totally kicks ass!

[RDVideosInc]

HEY MAN THIS IS PHIL X!

..... and this is gum.

[thequestionvideos]

do some avenged sevenfold

[disasterwave]

@thequestionvideos phils is not gonna waste his time on that garbage hes gonna be playing real music

[thequestionvideos]

@disasterwave wats songs could he play that make avenged sevenfold look like shit, he already played all the classics, im just offering somthing new and great music, u dont need 2 be a dick about it

[m16warden]

big fan of the tonemonster 

[kennosen1]

Wow!

[guitarshredda2]

did you try the tonemonster with the aged tonemaster speaker?

[GuillermoSmyser]

Maybe I'm an amp noob (actualy I'm sure I'm one!) but if you want less bass response couldn't you turn the bass down?

My mesa has a lot of bass so a lot of time the bass is almost on 0.

If turning down the bass doesn't do the job maybe someone could explain to me the difference.
