  • So what do you say, Orange or Roland cube?

  • 5:58 pipeline

  • Comment removed

  • can you use pedals with this amp?

  • Hi there, i am currently looking to buy this amp after seeing your review. The link you've posted seemed to be the cheapest out there, however I currently live in New Zealand, do you know if the site offers free shipping to New Zealand? Much appreciated if you could get back to me!!

  • Nice rip, you are a natural!

  • Hey dude, What are you playing just after 1:05? It's amazing!

  • Came to hear the amp, stayed to hear buckethead.

  • how would you say it compares to the fender mustangs?

  • Whats the song at 3:25? or did you just make that up lol

  • @TheeChosenWon Binge and grab by buckethead

  • Okay thanks mate :)

  • How are you getting your crunchy tone i can't get one for shit and it's the same amp :(

  • @spongegod95

    Turn up the overdrive full, then mess with the gain knob

  • I have this amp and I want to buy a distortion pedal for it. I've been thinking in the marshall guv'nor or the boss ds-1 with keeley modification, which is best for hard rock and rock (Guns N' Roses, Queen...)?

  • @Laura94tc

    Neither... the amp should have enough gain as it is. Are your knobs on your guitar turned up all the way? Does your guitar have humbuckers? If yes, turn up the overdrive knob full and adjust the amount of gain with the gain knob.

  • @Laura94tc No, I like its distortion but I need a pedal to change the clean channel to the distortion channel faster

  • @Laura94tc The bigger version of this amp (35LDX, which I might buy soon) has as a footswitch option to change channels. Otherwise, yes you could get a distortion pedal. But you could also just roll down the volume on your guitar to clean it up.

  • @jnukes2 I'm decided, I'll get a distortion pedal, the only this is that I don't know which to get because of its sound with the solid state amp, that's why I'm asking you.

  • @Laura94tc I have no experience with either of those pedals, so I don't know what to tell you. But unless you're performing and you really need to switch between clean and distortion on the fly, you don't need a pedal for it. Just adjust the volume on your guitar. If you must get a pedal, get the Wampler Pinnacle... but with the money you already spent on the amp you might as well have gotten the 35ldx or a better amp.

  • OMG YOU ARE A FUCKING GUITARRIST

  • Fast foward loser

  • would this amp be ok to play with an electro-acustic guitar? i have a peal ea guitar

  • Is this tube or transistor?

  • @arypma transistor

  • Does anyone know how well this amp sounds for acoustic guitars? given the changes in settings, would this amp be able to work out for folk styled music?

  • nice playing, man

  • What are u doing at 1:56 ?? saw it for the first time..??

    wat are u tapping..? :P

  • @amitkhirodwala Dude, look up Buckethead lol its called a kill switch.

  • @111Buckethead :P thnks

  • is this amp fine for an acoustic or a classic spanish

  • im thinking i want one of these can the 20 watt make a lot of noise or should i go for 35 watt ?

  • OMG, I'M PRACTICING SOOTHSAYER RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! :O:O:O

  • @jnukes2 hey man i've never seen your style of sweep picking before. idk if its a weird camera angle but it looks like youve got your strum hand over the frets and youre like flipping it over this way and that. could you explain what you're doing? your playing is awesome though dude jesus two thumbs up for sure. Also, i need a good practice amp for college, cause right now ive got a vox vt50 and the damn thing weights like 50 pounds. so what else would you recommend? thanks

  • i cant wait till mine comes in the mail

  • 1:54 was awesome! this looks like a sweet amp

  • Hey I'm the big filipino dude that stops by the music store once in awhile :) I finaly subscribed to you. I'm watching this vid again haha. Take it easy man!

  • How is this amp when it comes to an acoustic guitar?

  • @peterpulpitpounder its sweet bro i got the amp two days ago and i play a takamine and a fender hrough it both sound sweet u just gotta tame the dals for the acoutis its sweet :) enjoy and i recomend

  • I literally just bought one, guitar center has them for $159. the FX are unreal for such a small and cheap amp, love it

  • is this good for other styles than metal lol?

  • @Scaura90

    I've come to realize that this amp is more suited for classic rock.

  • @jnukes2 slipknot and mastodon use orange amp,so it's suitable for metal too:) nice demo

  • I bought the same one a few weeks ago and I don't like it, the distortion is not good enough, when I boost the lows, the sound messes up and all I hear is bass, when I boost the highs, the sound is kinda good, but I can barely feel any low tones, also, when I turn the distortion off, the acoustic sound is BAD! Very very BAD! My advice - don't waste your money on this! Buy a Behringer or Fender!

  • @TaimMasheen

    Sounds like you don't know how to EQ..... I'll make a new video for this soon. I just got a new PRS and it sounds amazing even through this amp.

  • @jnukes2 That's great, please, let me know as soon as you make that video :)

  • @TaimMasheen turn down the overdrive and turn up gain, the amp sounds pretty good to me

  • @TaimMasheen you don't know how to use it

  • have ANY SONG you couldn't do ?

  • nice playing

  • buckethead? is that you?

  • what pickups do you have in that guitar man?

  • so i take it this can be used for metal?

  • Gets very thin and picky with the higher gain, disgusting. Marshall trannys do a better job.

  • is this better than the peavey vypyr??

  • im sorry but WHAT. im not fussed with the amp, i wana play guitar like you. how long have you been playing?

  • my good man what are your settings?

  • Have you recorded this directly? and does it have a line out?

  • dude is this being run through a pedal? if not this is the best practice amp I've ever heard those cleans were great

  • you should do a full cover of binge and grab

  • Comment removed

  • Hey. I'm interested in buying one of these and was wondering how it would do in terms of recording? I hear that small/practise amps actually work really well for recording. I'm looking for that distorted tone you hear a lot in music these days. Emarosa? (If you've never heard of them please listen to 'The Past Should Stay Dead' and let me know if you think this amp could pull off that tone) I'm pretty new when it comes to just about everything.

  • @blink182fan10 Love Emarosa's drop d tuning tone and I think this amp would definitely work well. Their guitarist Jonas is a beast and obviously they have the best vocalist i've ever heard.

  • buckethead <3

  • Comment removed

  • whats the song in the beginning that is played

  • @h1ss3xyn3ss

    love is like vomit

  • whats the song at 0:38

  • You are brilliant!

  • Damn good demo!

  • wow , wich song do you play at 0:40 ?? , do you have a tab of it ??? greetz :D

  • Hey, I'm looking at getting one of these but I'm wondering how well it does on the low E-string. I have an aging 15w Crate that sounds horrible on the low end and was wondering if it was just speaker quality or the fact that it has an 8 inch speaker (which this amp has). How well does this amp handle low notes? (I play in standard tuning).

  • Wow! what did you play at 6:41?? I loved it! :)

  • is there any other way you can change the effects without turning the knob? like any pedal?

  • 2:03 anybody??

    

  • Comment removed

  • dude, what Les Paul is that? it looks like a cross between a Studio and the BH sig LP. also, how does that amp sound with pedals. im thinking about getting a DigiTech RP500.

    thanks

    ps, nice review. i think im gonna get that amp for my LP

  • @nauctube Its a Buckethead Les Paul, they got them out now haha

  • just ordered one yesterday,it was in sale-30% of price so there was no other choice :).Cant wait!

  • How's it compare to the Valvetronix series? Cheers.

  • Can a distortion pedal be run through this?

  • @hillbillymoment9

    Yeah but it already has a good amount of gain, so there's no point to add more.

  • @hillbillymoment9 I would recommend adding a boost pedal, if I'm correct in thinking that you want more of an over-the-cliff kind of metal distortion.

  • I like clicking on random gear videos and hearing Buckethead XD

  • Nice, Someone likes their buckethead lol you totaly bought that white Les Paul and put those pickups in there cause of buckethead! Sounds good man.

  • jizz.......in........my.......­.pants

  • whts the clean riff in the beggining by?

  • @highcoffclife12 It's Soothsayer by Buckethead

  • BUCKETHEAD!!! \m/

  • will this amp sound well in metal and rock? 

  • could u make a video explaining 3:18?

  • overdrive wasnt that nice, im maybe going to buy orange anyway

  • finally decided to buy this amp... before buying it i was just wondering what is the 8 ohms headphone input jack? is a size? do i need some sort of input jack to a 3mm headphone jack?

  • Sorry if repost. Making sure.

    What's the song at 3:45 or so. The riff with power chords and arps alternating?

  • @Volento

    Binge and Grab by Buckethead

  • @jnukes2 Is this loud enough to go over drums or can it be used as a head?

  • @Yourmomathon

    Depends on the drummer. I jam with an absolutely monster drummer and he can hear it. Remember that its function is a practice amp, however, it's very possible to hear over a drummer - it's just not the best choice you can make. If you gig with a PA system, then this amp will definitely have some good use if you want to be heard over drums.

    It's a solid state combo with no speaker outs, so it can't be used as a head...

  • Hey I asked you this earlier but in this video around 3:45 or so you play this riff where there's alternating power chords and palm muted arpeggios. That riff is amazing. Where is it from? I thought it sounded like "that's the way you need it" by journey but the arps arent in it.

    So where is it from?

  • so can you play punk style music with this amp? + decent distortions?

  • @MrMagic201

    Yes, you should be able to. You have a lot of control of how much dirt comes out.

  • so can you play punk style music with this amp?

  • Soothsayer! <3

  • might get this tommorow =) good idea or not? lol im on tight budget and need a new amp for at home =P

  • @judgerudge123

    Of course I do! That's what I made this video.

  • @jnukes2 got one =~P amazing amp for what it cost =) love the reverb(s) on it =P especially chapel tht is wierdd but awes0ome =P lol

  • @judgerudge123

    Awesome! Glad to hear.

  • is this amp suitable for punk style music? you'll probably won't like them but, can you archive tones like blink 182 song's?... or the amp is powerful enough. + can you get tones like acoustic guitars?

    sorry, just wondering... thinking of buying amp. just want to make sure before i buy it.

  • @MrMagic201 test it out at guitarcenter first

  • great playing man, sure you're not buckethead?

    =P

    haha

  • just ordered this amp for my electric ukulele.. so excited to get it! cannot wait to hear how it sounds with it(:

  • when did this orange amp came out, i might one... but how there isn't much websites reviewing it? + will it sound good with a standard stratocaster?

  • @MrMagic201

    It came out last December.

    I've played my Gibson Les Paul Studio, an Ibanez RG, and some Schecters and surprisingly, this amp does relatively well at bringing out the characteristics of each guitar.

  • hello ive already tried out orange crush 20l and i absolutely love the clean tone...but my problem is here in my place there's no crush 20ldx so i kinda undecided to take line 6 spider IV or just buy crush 20l and save up to buy multi effect later (much later coz no money)...so do u think its worth it?

  • @joiNoThiNg

    The Line 6 Spider series are horrible amps - avoid them completely.

    If you're on a budget, just try to find the 20LDX. You can always order from the link that I put in the description. The only effects that the LDX lacks is probably a phaser and a wah pedal. I think the money is worth it for the 4 types of reverbs and delay settings alone. Even if you plan on buying a multi-fx anyway, I would get the LDX just to conveniently have the effects there anyway. That way if you're just

  • @jnukes2 playing at friends' houses a lot, or moving around a lot, you'll just need to lug around one amp unit, your guitar and 1 cable. Great sound, no power supplies, and easy.

  • @jnukes2 the thing is that i live in malaysia...i dun the store u recommended can ship it here...even if it could, it will expensive and i might as well buy 35LDX which i can get here...nvm thank for the advice, i guess i''ll just buy 20L and save up for multi-fx

  • Could this be used for live at all?

    Pubs and Clubs?

  • @JobForAChappers

    Yep, and it depends on the gig. Jazz vs rock?

  • nice

  • Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like this amp with?

  • Did you repaint that guitar?

    I want to buy a Gibson les paul Studio Alpine White

    And I want to do the same mods as you did exept for I want it with to volume nobs and one tone nob and the pick up selecter at the normal position to make it look like the first white les paul he used when he toured with Guns N Roses

  • @heihei2300

    - No

    - This is the Gibson Les Paul Studio in Alpine White

    - If you haven't played a Les Paul or anything similar to it, you'll hate the pickup selector up there. I've been used to mine in the bottom portion of the guitar for so long that when I play other Les Paul style guitars, I can't stand the selector being up there. Plus, the master volume for both pickups is awesome as well. Once you get good at adjusting the volume knob, you won't need separate volumes for both pickups.

  • Two questions: 1. does this amp sound good with other pedals (wah wah, etc)? 2. Do you think I can get Led Zeppelin tones out of this amp? Thanks

  • @codemonkey615552

    Yes and yes. it takes my Dunlop Crybaby 535Q extremely well. However, there is not an FX loop on this amp, so some time-based effects might not sound right. If you're not playing gigs and do not demand instant effect changes, then the knob for the effects on the amp itself should do you fine.

    This amp does Led Zeppelin just great. British voicings in a box! Hope this helps.

  • is this a good amp to play with distortion ? , i looking for a amp to play hard rock ,

    and to practice so i can play with open chords with good sound with out a pedal

  • @xundercover9789

    Definitely. You can get slightly overdriven tones with clarity in chords all the way up to high gain and of course different stages of gain in between.

  • can you give me like a complete list of all the songs you play in this? Thanks :D

  • can u gimme the tabs for first section (cleans with reverb) its ... so warm,so soft , so amazing :D

  • seeing as how you work in a music store, is this one pretty much the same thing as the CR20L but with effects? im not looking for effects on the amp and the CR20L has none. also if the amps are the same minus the effects, does it have more bass in it? im sorry for being so picky

  • @astaschak

    Yes, the 20L is the exact same, just without effects. No it doesn't have more bass in it.

    However, I wholeheartedly, firmly believe that the extra $40 is DEFINITELY worth it. 20L being $115, 20LDX being $159. Even if it just had the tuner and some reverb then I would be happy to pay $159. If you can scrap up an extra $40, I highly encourage you to get the 20LDX.

  • @jnukes2 normally i would do that, but i plan on getting a decent multi fx pedal before a new amp, so with the amp i was gonna try and skip the fx part. and thanks for the feedback, i kinda figured that there wasnt more bass in it, mainly because its an orange, they're known for their more middle/treb sounds. and im aware of the microphone problems and youtube compresses the hell out of videos, ill probly go and try this amp out at a guitar center see if i like it. thanks again =)

  • @astaschak

    In my opinion, the only thing missing from this amp is probably a phaser, wah and volume pedal. I'm not a fan of multi-fx units unless they're high-end. (TC Electronics, Axe FX, Rocktron). If you have your heart set on a multi-fx pedal, I would still get the LDX for good measure.

  • @astaschak

    Part 2:

    If you are concerned about the amount of treble you hear in the video, please consider my camera microphone's quality (aka it's horrible :\). The amp is a wee bit high ended, but I think it's because it's British voiced and the 8" speaker. You can EQ it out, though. The 35L / 35LDX has a 10" speaker, and it is definitely noticeably more bassy sounding but has a tiny bit less gain.

  • whoa man nice playing and great amp I want it now!

  • Can you tell me what is your guitar ?

    Thanks

  • hey im thinking of getting an upgrade from my fender frontman 15g do u think is a good practice amp. thanxs

  • @GUNSNCOWS

    Of course this is a good practice amp, that's why I chose to demo it and show off what it can do!

  • is that Buckethead?

  • Now THAT is a clean sound! Beautiful!

    What do you think-- this amp, a Peavey Vypyr 15W, or a Vox Valvetronix VT15 15W?  Do you find those built-in effects practical? I'd love your opinion on these matters since I've never had the opportunity to play this Orange amp before!

  • @orangehasrhymes

    The cleans are absolutely WONDERFUL on this amp. I get better cleans with the distortion channel on, and then simply rolling back the volume on the guitar.

    I've heard that the Vypyr is okay... it's somewhat versatile for the price but sounds fake because it's a modeling amp. The cleans are decent, too.

    The Vox is a modeling amp also... not very good for high gain.

    I think the Orange can do it all. With the added FX and tuner is even better. I recommend this British beast!

  • @jnukes2

    Whoa you replied fast! Thanks for your opinion!

    ^_^

  • youre a good player but you should add some bass to that first metal section. it was pretty thin. but excellent playing and thanks for the demo! -Evan

  • @MrBasementJams

    Thanks for the kind words. Yeah this amp is voiced pretty high... It's because of the small speaker. The 35LDX is significantly darker.

  • @jnukes2

    that makes sense

  • i have a fender frontman 212r and im not happy with its gain structure anymore. it doesnt push very far at all and when its turned up, the sound is really broken up and bad. what you you recommend that is super versatile and can have lots of different sounds of gain?

  • @omfg51

    The Frontman is not good for distortion at all. This might sound biased but give this amp a try. It's only $159 and it's well worth the money.

  • What song did you play in the beginning, its soo fucking sexxxy??? haha

  • You have to be shitting me.. Wow you shure you dont have pedal on that orange? Ive been playing for 14 years im thinking of buying this for the bedroom. How is it when you scoop the mids? what kind of metal can this thing handle?

  • @eatthemoon13

    I'm very sure I'm not using any pedals, hehe. I haven't tried scooping the mids on it. I think it handles metal well. There's plenty of pre-amp gain to go around. It's a wonderful bedroom practice amp.

  • stairway 2 heaven woo so wana get this amp great guitar playin 2

  • Please answer because that was badass haha (:

  • What riff were you playing at 2:35?

    Because it was amazing and i wun learn it :D

  • @ATRisepic

    Welcome to Bucketheadland.

  • Very... Buckethead like... Now that I've heard it I NEED this amp! I have band practice every saturday I play in a punk/metal band, I think this is an awesome amp...

  • not half delay, hall delay.

  • @CyysVideos

    Haha yeah I realized that quite a bit ago.

  • YAY! BUCKETHEAD :D!

  • 1:57

    How do you do that effect? does your guitar have a killswitch or something?

  • @0Propagandapanda yea sounded cool though

  • in awe.

  • This amp is good for new metal ?

  • @JimRoot11380

    Very decently for the price. Lots of pre-amp gain.
