How a cheap, small amp can do / Marshall VS15R demo.

[Israelsniped120]

nice guitar, nice amp. however if you are buying a small amp vox practice amps have better tone quality than marshalls especially if the marshall is an mg series

[micks4522]

so... How much is it?

[urkingod]

8010  10 ワット、対 VS15 対　15 VSR　何か家であまり場所を取らない練習用の楽しく弾けるアンプをさが­していますが、以上ではどれをお薦めですか？VS15 とVS15Rの違いななんですか？あまり詳しくないので。あと古­くなりますがリード１２はどうでしょうか？

[browncitycrew]

how much did this amp cost?

[jcmangan]

@browncitycrew As it came out in the mid-90ies it was about 1oo Euro. So as the uploader said it was one of the cheapest Amps. Let`s say the best of the cheapest. :-)

[sincityblues85]

Kind of sounds like a Gibson in the background, and a chainsaw next to the camera, the clean channel was pretty blah though, my problem with the cheap amps is they have electronics you wouldn't even use in a cordless telephone......but it's all a matter of your own opinion....

[fearsomelist2]

i has dat gutair

[Kojitsu]

beginning reminds me of brighton rock by queen!

[florinbaiduc]

Yes - I have the same amp, (Made in UK)it's more than enough for practice alone in my room, and the sound is very good...fro mmy MIJ '62 reissue Strat '

On clean setting I also use it wit Digitech JHE...The contour setting is very effective into changing the overall tone.

[1337BananaL33TVostok]

dodotototoo "we be lovin' it"

[123marijn321]

is it a heavy amp? weight in kilograms please

[jcmangan]

@123marijn321 Not much, round 4 kilo.

[crash12512]

yes a guy that knows what metal is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pacingBlue]

I have the exact same amp! It's the first amp I purcased when I started playing the electric guitar(1998). Since then, I always go back to it. I had an Orange Ad30, I now have a Peavey classic, but always go back to this...For bedroom playing, of course. But I like the sound so much! I don't know if I've just got used ti it, but I think it does have a great sound. And if my mind weren't so stuck with tube amp marketing, I would be playing with VS65r for band levels (I also like it very much)...

[jcmangan]

@pacingBlue Totally agree. Since I`m using a bb preamp in front of it, i play nothing else. I even put down my friend`s brand new Marshall Class 5 Tube amp. I must be a weirdo. But I like the crunchy sound the most, which the uploader avoided, that would be gain 1 fully open, gain 2 about a half. This kind of thing...

[satchboogie21]

ok but you have a gibson....

[DeeDeeSmart]

dude idk how u can say thats a cheap amp when its over $300. you must be very rich then!

[MrAlb199]

valvestates are good but it's better for them to have a good pickups in guitar. Then they sounds better like on this video :] a huge difference between my stock epiphone pickups in les paul standard ...:]

[MetallicBill]

I picked one up tonight from USA pawn shop, reduced from $100USD to $60 dollars. I am not happy with it since it's no improvement over the 10MG I have already, which is smaller and more CRUNCH with less control. The countour is good, bass, contour, and treble for tone, Master, Reverb far right, and two gain controls on the far left. Which you don't show. The two gains I had MAXED to get decent distortion. Not good from a Marshall that's so weak really

[Danielperezguitar]

it sounds like shit

[MetallicBill]

@Danielperezguitar You pay more for the "REVERB" feature, which the MG10 lacks, but I don't miss reverb, I prefer digital delay or flanger effects, Wah Wah. This amp works for SMALL gain needs and clean tone, and for GAIN, it's getting best results from ACTIVE pickups that have their own pre-amp boost before the amp stage in the backline!

I was reading a newspaper! Wtf! xD

[grizbazzen]

3.50 Fuuuuckkkk my ear.. dont use headphones when listening to that ehhe .:D

[spiffication]

does it just sound to me like it got tubes? or is the little white piece of plastic playing mind games with me? or could it be the sick looking sunburst les paul?

[POLDUSTLEAD]

Marshall amps are fantastic

[20vtrueno]

I've got this amp, with an ESP Ltd EC-100QM and I cannot make it sound nice whatsoever. It sounds like a strangled crocodile. I wouldnt have thought it to be the guitar. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[MetallicBill]

@20vtrueno It's just not a good Marshall, best bet is always heads and cabs, but you can get good tube preamps like Digitech's Twin Tube rack from the 1990s

[jcmangan]

@20vtrueno Ha, ha, that`s good! It REALLY sounds like a strangled crocodile, let`s put a detail on it: like a muddy strangled crocodile. :-) And that`s the exact thing for me doing bluesy things or early metal stuff like the marshall sound captured on the first Judas Priest records. I have to admit, if you need more gain, you`re in trouble with this amp, also on the opposite if you wanna play it clean.

[HardcoreGorilla]

it might be a cheap amp, but thats about a 1500 dollar guitar! haha still great playing though!

[xXSlashBoiXx]

@Neylus Its called feedback.

[zk1mike]

I got the same =P and I love it xD nice feedback

[bluesfashion]

mg series is good?

[flashpadxxx]

Man..u must have a good job and earn some good money right??I mean u have so many great guitars!! btw...how many gibson u got??

[slashthebestone]

Hey Tkmafkng! how do you like the Yamaha Pocketrack? is it to record a bigger amp? why did you choose it to record this demo?

[telf10]

mcdonalds tshirt?

[Mastur1337Cheef]

It's Herman Ri's Protege' XD

[MarcosKtulu]

Didin´t really dig that distorted tone

[boyintune]

how much is the amp cost????

[SEDeveloper]

$ 91.5

[robban97swe]

@SEDeveloper :O Sweden's expensive then... xD In sweden it costs almost twice as much...

[codyjt5150]

that looks dead up like my rogue cG 20r amp. and sounds similar to it too, but there isn't an fx slot but there is 2 plug ins for 2 guitars but the last time i did that it sounded terrible

[slashrocks000]

how much is a Gibson In Tokyo?

[burubura]

hey m selling my guitar..m in tokyo...

[StrangerKXH]

Is that a Macdonalds shirt?

[09debono09]

cheap small amp? thats bigger and better then my amp

[pokefirerex]

hey dude that was awesome and i should be getting the exact amp in febuary are they any good in your eyes

[nakedrider10]

what amp is it? like could you give me the name, and price?

[beptube]

finally I saw your face dude! I thought you were hiding your face

[Gilb604]

can u get a really cheap guitar, and i mean really really crappy, and play with marshall amp and still get a good tone?

[ruffles272]

depends on what marshall.

[jacqueslaurent]

nope

[Gilb604]

@jacqueslaurent what about a really great guitar, and i mean really really amazing guitar, and play with the worst amp in the world and still get a good tone?

[jacqueslaurent]

With guitars you really can't have one or the other. Its best to match your instruments with devices of similar quality. You can get a decent guitar and put really nice pickups on it and it will sound much better than how it came it came stock.

The better of the two evils would be a nice guitar with a cheap amp. Although the amp wouldn't do it that much justice..it'd be ok I guess. However, a cheap guitar with an amazing amp will only make you realize how bad the guitar sounds

Why do you ask?

[Alucard33592]

but with skill even a crappy guitar and a crappy amp can sound good in the right persons hands <.< its not about the gear

[bigassmatic]

haha just cause its a marshall doesnt mean it will sound good, in my opinion the only marshalls worth buying are the ones that cost $1000+ anything less than that look into a different brand.

[69nisab]

great demonstration

[45092081]

Great video. I think too many people are going for quick fixes to make them sound better, rather than practice.

[marcusmarkmus]

great vid, its more in your head and fingers than most people believe i think

[TTMfin]

Its all about ...alnico II pro humbucker.

[Rascal157]

well the reason you can play with that tone is simply a great guitar (Gibson) and a well knobbed MARSHALL amp! If u had a Voxx, different story :D

[slashthebestone]

hey man what is a yamaha Pocketrak CX? and btw..you should get a sponsor! youre great! i've seen guys not so good that have good sponsors like Dean Markley!

[darkskull0802]

elmooooooooo

[viletantrum]

I believe you could use a plastic cup and string and make it sound good. You rock!

[happytobeproud]

lol your are so right dude.. no matter what brand or how cheap of instruments this guys guitar skills will sound amazing

[yoyon010587]

aha... your face like oriental people.. are u from Japan ? match with Japan people.. hehe ^___^v

[tkmafkng]

Yes, I'm a Japanese.

[zk1mike]

And I got A slash tone out of this amp =D

[zk1mike]

I've got same one xD and I love it. It was given to me by my cousin for free. I play it with a les paul and a BOSS ME-20 =D

[tkmafkng]

I don't know why but a lot of comments disappeared...maybe some trouble of YouTube.

[joseisamen]

haha lol i have the same Marshall

[danny239]

never new u were asian

[snikwad187]

i have a fender bullet 150, i have a lot of fun on it :)

[tkmafkng]

Thank you but this is a demo of the amp. This sound is made by guitar and amp. That's all.

[tkmafkng]

I think so, too but not everyone can get a tube amp. That's why I made this video. Maybe not for you.

[aAverageGuy]

do you teach your daughter guitar?

[tkmafkng]

haha, not yet now but I want to teach my kids to play the guitar someday, when they want to play.

[aAverageGuy]

if you do would you lend them your gibson guitars or go out and buy their own gibson, or another brand?

[tkmafkng]

Of course, I'll lend them my Gibsons to her when she grow up and she can understand what Gibson means. My 6 year old son plays a mini size Les Paul made by GrassRoots, that is a brand for beginners of ESP. That's very cute guitar.

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

line 6 ftw

[apessk8s88]

my fuzz up and beafens up when its on a high volume aswell but its a peavy rage with one tube so it sounds like a farting elephant

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

lol

[NickTheGuitarist1]

What tuning is your guitar in??

[tkmafkng]

Normal.

[5050467]

on the clean part, what's the song?

[tkmafkng]

I did not play any song except Back In Black. That's just a improvised one.

[numb1starwarsfan]

i didn't know he had a kid

[tkmafkng]

I have 2 kids, 6 years old kid and 4year old daughter. It's very natural thinf for 37 or 38 years man, I think.

[Dragonx10397]

i could care less about the size of your amp it sounds amazing nonetheless. really good job

[tkmafkng]

please read my description before you make some comment. DO NOT COMPARE THIS WITH SOME TUBE AMP. If you can get exact the same tone as tube amp with solid state, no one use tube amp. Comparing this with full tube amp is non sense. Please read my description and understand why I made this video. There are lot of people who want to buy tube amps but there are some people who cannot do it. This is for them. Thanks, friends.

[slashthebestone]

then its for me lol i have a Mrashall MG 30 and i think i found the right tune!

[slashxisxgodx]

i'm getting one of those soon is it good

[slashthebestone]

well..you can't compare it to a tube amp but i think its pretty good! it can be loud..in fact it looses distorcion when its in a low volume..but bisedes that i would recomend it!

[binladensassassin]

we can see your face :D

[tkmafkng]

haha, you see that I have a face at last.

[EclipseSocietyCore]

very nice les paul

[JonnyRake]

good for a solid state, but no where as good as a tube amp

[5klash5]

+1

A Cheap tube amp is the way.

[tkmafkng]

Thanks.

The most important thing in this video is, "good for a solid state".

Because this is not a tube amp.

[BlkBirdNflight]

I LOVE THE ELMO!!!!! LOL!!!!

[tkmafkng]

ELMO is very pretty. I love him, too!! haha

[shelbybears33]

damnnn thats coooooool

[ROCPALMER]

An awsome video, but there is no sound like a hard driven tube amp period........

[tkmafkng]

It's natural. Because it's not a tube amp.

[stretch90]

The guitar is also a huge part of the tone. So having a gibson over an epiphone is really important.

[tkmafkng]

The guitar is also important. But I think too many people think about guitar itself or pickups but, guitar is half, and another half is the amp. Amp is not just a speaker that makes the sound louder. It's a kind of musical instrument and person who can not understand that will never get better tone forever.

[stretch90]

Yeah I agree, I would say it's 50/50 for the guitar and amp. I think sometimes people think the amp does a lot more then the guitar, but I think it's about even.

[andr3wbr1an]

it's true that you can say i don't know how to get that tone because different rooms have different acoustics causing the sound waves to bounce off differently.. where you stand or record can also make a big difference. so.. there's no way you can get ane xact tone

[yugoboy17]

Haha, ur cool for doing this vid and ur guitar skills are great.. Nice vid.

[slashGNR5721]

nice sound i gotta a MG100FX i cant turn the volume up past a quarter of the way in my house. im 13 so my parents get mad wen i go n ther with my les paul and crank out to som GNR espicially locomotive i luv playn that song

[daoldGNRrox]

locimotive is a kick ass song and GNR is my favorite band. play that amp as loud as you can and who gives a fuck what your parents think im 14 and i personally dont give a fuck if i get in trouble or not.

[tkmafkng]

MG100FX is too powerfull to play louder. I think it's 100 watt or something. Do not let your mom get angry to keep playing the guitar, haha :)

[batseend]

Is master volume the volume knob on the amp or the one on the guitar?

[laddieola101]

amp

[Guitarplayer219]

The one on the amp.

Great tone man! I'm looking for a Marshall to buy.

[RoseZombie]

I bought my Marshall at Best Buy and it's pretty good

[Guitarplayer219]

What model is it?

[RoseZombie]

MG series 10 cd

It's even smaller than tkmafkng's, but I'm kind of a beginner so it's all good....you could probably go for a bigger one like he has, though.

[tkmafkng]

I'm very glad to hear someone find the good tone with his or her own equipments. Great !!

[THESOURCEHOMETHEATER]

cool tk

[tkmafkng]

Thaks, friends :)

[RichLesPaull]

Very nice.

[PotatoMajor]

Are you married? :O

[tozza2525]

married to his guitar i can tell you that;P

[tkmafkng]

Yes, of course.

[baddmaddogg]

I use a MArshall MG15CD and also have a MG10CD...want a 50watt tho lol. left my 15 watt plugged in durring a thunderstorm think I fucked it up, it sounds a lil different.

[tkmafkng]

You had better some pedals when you use small solid state amp,, if you don't like the current sound.

[milodaman2]

man you look awesome

that amp seems really awesome too.

I'm on a Mesa Boogie Mark III
