With apologies to Ampeg... The new Ampeg GVT15H & GVT52-112

[Sirpwnalot4321]

I like how even with all the retartedness, this is still the best demo of this amp on Youtube :D

[griffinmpable]

I love proguitarshop demos because Andy kicks ass and always busts out SICK riffs. I thoroughly enjoy PhilX guitar videos because Phil is fucking awesome and is like a 5 year old on crack. Chappers videos are great because its always ridiculously long videos that have me laughing THE ENTIRE TIME

[shytownmofo]

You can tell that somebody had quite a bit of Christmas Cheer before making this video.

[giggs102]

LOL. that was so funny.

[Drzronnie]

How do I get a audition for a Robin Hood tribute band?

[rbarrell]

I used to go on protest marches in the 1930's, but then I took a Jarrow to the knee...

Taxi!

[MrAlexjames94]

if that ampeg has a spring reverb that explains the noise

[AcousticMinja]

Sounds like a godly amp filled with lots of tone! Besides the fairly basic setup, with that cool EQ, I bet you can get a million and one tones on it. Seems super versatile. I like that 1x12. Yum. That crunch!!

[JerryBeatFreak]

So, 1x12" or 2x12" ? What do you think? (I'm getting one, I don't give a shit about the five arrows sticking out of my knee)

[sandman1201]

20:40

lee used to make arrows on the knee jokes...

then i took a chappers to the face... XD

[yobhsiFehT]

Sounds like a Gibson's best friend - just break out the jewelry and leather pants, and you're ready to rawk! ;):P

[psyckla5]

Sounds awesome but will it take a metal distortion so so you can go all plethora and switch between sweet cleans and pulverizing distortion quickly

[Blade686]

I think you need to credit 9gag in the description or something!

[perseusbeatkraken]

Did nobody else notice the jack Daniels bottle went missing?

[teezer123]

PERFECT AMP FOR THE STONES :D

[eamonflaherty]

You forgot to mention Josh Homme!!!

[electroneticTV]

3:29 what joke does the captain tell there?! I couldnt understand it.. :(

[asmithgdci]

@electroneticTV He says he used to be in a bird watching program, but then I took a sparrow to the knee. He was referencing the popular, 'arrow to the knee' joke.

[BioGeometric066]

What the hell do you guys put in that coffee?

[MrSifter123]

This is one of the nicest amps i have heard in a while. That driven clean sound is AWESOME!!

[JobForAMaxboy]

Haha! 3:29 made me laugh so hard XD

[MaddManzz00]

great 3D youtube video.. 3/4 the way thru i took an arrow to the knee

[RebellionmanFTW]

Chappers sure likes to spend his time with Cap'n L33t!!!

[mistermoshpit101]

he says his knee injury wasnt caused by an arrow, but there is a small hole in the knee of his jeans....

[mistermoshpit101]

0:18 - 'it's nearly christmas!'

*looks at upload date*

is Guildford in its own time zone? if it is it looks like a

*puts on sunglasses*

FunTime!!!!!!

[JacobSijsma]

I used to laugh at arrow to the knee jokes but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[Bucketheadtwo]

If I order this amp, will I get a signed arrow for my knee?

[stevepayne99]

Re-do!  Really want to hear a real demo of the GVT15... and the GVT5 too.

[LLCW]

Rob, is there any chance at all to do a super short re-demo of the GVT15h cranked up? I'm really interested in this amp, but they're still pretty thin on the gournd.

[ShaneKeenMusic]

Does this amp come with free arrows...?

[Notlaugh]

stoned :D

[DistortedMusicUK]

hahaha when the backing track kicked in at 7:00 I was like 'what the fuck is cap'n doing to that ML2 to make it sound like that 0_o plus the BLS riff at 21:30 fucking kicked aaassss!

[TonyMistry]

I really like how at 14:00 the Cap'n twiddles the knobs as Chappers plays. More of this kind of close-up please. And that's so I can hear the changing tone - NOT 'cos I have a knob twiddling fetish...

[TheLucaaas17]

I was gonna like this video, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[DreamersMatter]

Chappers, would you know of a band called Raven?

[MykelGianan]

ARROWS TO THE KNEE FOR CHRISTMAS CHAPPERS !

[musicman972]

Don't Bogart!! It is bad manners! LOL!!! Very funny guys and looks like you are having a great time. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!!!!1

[WarmothGuitarist]

Hitting the egg nog a bit hard, don't you think, boys?

[RIFTYflipperS]

U should play some Jet stuff :)

[MrChuck881]

cause its all been drunk by the looks of things lol

[guitarmanicFIN1]

I see that the bottle of jack daniels is nowhere to be seen...

[hgyture2347]

Seeing BLS live was probably the most beastly show I've seen.

[365Avalon]

Gotta say, these must be amongst the most ugly new amps. You'd have to hang bacon from it to get the dog to go near it.

[365Avalon]

It's a loud amp, but it's not a loud loud amp ? Mmmmmkay.

[8ulls3y3]

Very soft, muddy sounding but in a lovely kind of way. I'd have one for lo fi mildly saturated rock, stoner-sludge-doom stuff (btw, Josh Homme anybody?) but my wallet took an arrow in the knee.

[RobChappers]

Eight people were shot in the knee...

[morg405]

i was almost as good as chappers once then i took and arrow to the hand!!!

[darkdeviltj101]

For 2012 you should do a Demo on a Dean ML '79 :D

[ilmisxx2]

@darkdeviltj101 I think Rob does'n really like Dean coz of Dime name abuse ;)



[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

20:43 Chappers, ATTACK!!!

[sharkyjoe77]

Mick Taylor is very much alive, as others stated already. GVT (I think) stands for Guitar Valve Technology, which is a nod to SVT (Super Valve Technology) the 300w bass amps Ampeg introduced in 1969. Shortly after, the Stones, in desperate need of LOUD amps, asked Ampeg to provide for their US tour which they did. The Stones used them for both bass and guitar amplification and made Ampeg SVT's legendary. But later Ampeg took an arrow to the knee and now their amps are made in China.

[ElektrinenWelho]

This must be the most unprofessional gear review :D 

[JMcDonnell91]

fucking love these andertons videos

[Koopagamelouda]

Has anyone tried to watch this video this the subtitles on?? its even more hilarous!!

[yodelingtotheoldies]

At 6:02 what was his arrow to the knee joke?



[MerleneAnker]

@yodelingtotheoldies "but then I took a marrow to the knee"

[okamasphere]

Any updates on the Chapman T-type Rob? I've followed your company from the beginning, but this is the first ML guitar I've really been looking forward to, because my next guitar is going to be a tele shape.

[RobChappers]

@okamasphere Really soon dude, just clearing away some things and preparing \m/

However before ML3 I have a super secret thing occurring ;-)

[CobraGTXNoS]

@RobChappers Oooh, Super Secret thing!!! Great video Chappers!!!

[KarmaTH30RY]

@RobChappers

i had no idea you were currently developing a tele style guitar.

i'm looking' for a solid axe to buy as well. please keep us in the loop!

[madsally4]

I told my shrink....I dont need my anti depressant meds anymore...I watch Capt Lee and Chappers!!!

[redking133]

Hey Chappers, So I was wondering do you guys ship all the way to mexico? I would love me some ML-2 action

[RobChappers]

@redking133 Andertons ship worldwide dude! ;-) 

[rossgun1]

@RobChappers Except South Africa!

[coltsuperocean10]

@redking133 ...they ship all around the world, but not Mexico. Too many poor short people with sombrero and tacos. No need in UK economy. Try Poland or another poor country for basic electrical gear. I hear Somalia has a few walkmans for sale.

[redking133]

@coltsuperocean10 Fuck you then, I wont share my tacos with you.

[coltsuperocean10]

@redking133 ...no problem. I`m not a huge fan of cheap gypsy Mexican food anyway. You keep them for yourself, you poor peasant.

[MrScroticus]

Chappers, you guys owe me a new monitor after that sparrow to the knee joke. It is now soaked in coffee :(

[mrQDQ]

First i wanted to comment that you guys are fucking funny... But then . . . . I took an arrow to the knee!

[OtherRealmer]

Rob, somehow I get the impression you spend a lot of time on 9GAG.

[Rockguitarist4511]

Can you guys do a Sound like Rand Rhoads for under £1000? :)

[Rockguitarist4511]

@Rockguitarist4511 *Randy

[Nickpatient]

Lee- Mick Taylor is not the dead one from the Rolling Stones. That's Brian Jones. Mick Taylor was the second lead player in the Stones who replaced Brian. He left because he'd (taken an arrow to the knee and) had enough and was replaced by Ron Wood. :)

[yamitanomura]

did you have been drinking ?

[Nickpatient]

Fuck sake Rob, you're almost reaching Phil X levels of spazz-e-ness. :D

[fsxolliefsx]

Just sayin'... both Matt Bellamy and Dave Grohl used an Ampeg guitar, but not an amp. Plus you didn't mention Josh Homme, who gets most of his tone from a cranked Ampeg.

[HeavyMetalGuitarFTW]

what is the song you used played instead of a "beep" at the beginning (about 1:00)???



[PaddyShadowMusic]

Holy crap, I'll never watch your videos while eating again. Almost choked to death. \m/

[t3tsuyaguy1]

I do NOT want to go to work today. But I've laughed so much watching this video, that I don't really care anymore. Thanks guys!

[zeLudoo]

The face of the Captain with the sunglasses is EPIC.

[TOM47812]

hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaadodododododod

[brando18guitarplyr]

I don't just come here to check out the gear, I come here to have a laugh whilst checking new gear!

[ethamajin]

Anderton's videos are more entertaining than anything on TV.

[blakeadkins]

were you guys drunk?

[Wrangler4Life]

Great review guys (as always). What was the backing track that Lee was playing to?

Thanks

[Sodacake]

I wonder what you guys are like when you're drunk.

[redukonio]

@Sodacake maybe they are ... thats what i first thought :D

[fluffyskunk]

Josh Homme uses Ampeg too..

[MercyStudios]

Lol the sparrow to the knee joke cracked me up! :p

[HDWMusic]

I really liked the crunchy tones with the flying v :)

[ghigaful]

2:00 I'm pig I'm pig looool :)

[flamen89]

HAHAHA @ the ampeg input socket lolol

[DeanFromHell1993]

good to hear some demisery clips in this vid!

[spctator63]

DAMN DEM KNEE-SEEKING ARROWS!

[Bluebuthappy182]

Oh man, I'm sitting in a cafe looking at this and i'm pissing myself. people are looking at me worried

[downsfreak]

i just laughed my ass off :D

[SocksInPanic]

arrow in the knee, u Mad Bro?, everythin else... Chappidichappers, are you a 9gagger apart from being the most awesome person on the Interwebz?

[RobChappers]

@hawg427 Hi dude, it is an ML-2 and Andertons ship them world wide. Check it on their site, they have a couple left :-)

[RobChappers]

@piebomb101 Ha ha really!! How about a Star Wars or LOTR special instead?

[RobChappers]

@antihax91 Yes the clean channels were similar, obviously a head room difference :-)

[WojciechFrankMusic]

BTW! Rob, where did you get all of that hats?! I want one too! 

[MonkeyZo0]

As much as I love Stick's Flying V I would like to hear some singlecoils through this amp. What does the power switch do - does it reduce the overall volume or does it change the tone like it does for example on the Tiny Terror?

[MonkeyZo0]

@MonkeyZo0 P.S. I am unable to find the amps on the Andertons website. Are they even available yet?

[RobChappers]

@anshumanchaube95 We did it, pay attention minion!! It is called the Xmas special :-)

[RobChappers]

@dogukan361 Honestly not one drop, this is just how we roll dawg \m/

[RobChappers]

@n1ll3r Children watch our videos as well as adults, you should see the complaints if we don' t bleep!

[RobChappers]

@acompres Thanks dude that is my tune Holy Fire which will be on my next album :-)

[ieatdirt4breakfast]

I didn't use to find "arrow to the knee" jokes funny. But then I took an arrow to the knee.

[RobChappers]

@TheBallTicklers Great idea, we are on it :-)

[acompres]

Chappidy chaps, what's that from 18:09, that sounds wicked

[WojciechFrankMusic]

Black Label Society song! Wee!

Play more Zakk. Or you'll get another (sp)arrow to the second knee, Rob!

[acompres]

Hash brownies, anyone? hahaha :-)

[bigleemac]

I used to work on the street market, then I took a barrow to the knee..........

[Fr3etd4nc3r]

suppose there was some Rum in that coffe...

[ISN1P3DI]

Haha!, that sparrow to the knee joke was EPIC!

[TenhoMeideia]

@ISN1P3DI I used to not have flexible tissue inside my bones, but then i took a marrow in the knee.

[rockman00blues]

I thought the whole arrow to the knee thing was going out of control. But you guys just pushed it even further...

[MichelVonBerlin]

hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha

[cliverkay]

I suggest that Ampeg look for another dealer !!

[Hanzzen101]

Brilliant!

[Antox14161416]

what had you drink before this video? xD

[sify11]

even that PRS in the back is laughing ;)

[TheBallTicklers]

Could you guys do a review and comparison of all the different ibanez tube screamers in one video? Kind of like a shootout, maybe even add some of the inexpensive clones ;)

[Crazytjeuh]

@TheBallTicklers I think they did something of that kind, but i could be wrong! Anyway, the tone king has done some kind of video of that but i don't really like the audio tbh :d

[MetallicaFan4ever5]

@TheBallTicklers There's great overdrives out there, a good cheap one is the Bad Monkey from Digitech, and also the Hardwire Overdrive. If you have a local store you can check those out. I've played on those, and they sound amazing

[blackstars26]

@TheBallTicklers +1

[n1ll3r]

I've often wondered why you have to censor these? :)

[szpyrek26]

distortion sucks in this ampeg...

[TheBallTicklers]

Anyone else notice that the flying v is shaped like an arrow and that its resting on chappers knee? Coincidence? I think not.

[dogukan361]

How fucking drunk were you? xD

[dogukan361]

@StachuraRafal Skyrim!

[TheBallTicklers]

This must be the greatest job in the world.

[Crazytjeuh]

Haha i was playing oblivion yesterday and was in this dungeon, i came across an adventurer but he didn't see me then i shot him in the head. But afterwards regretted for not shooting in the knee :(

[anshumanchaube95]

Dear meestah Shapperz

Wot happened to ze "Sound like a.." veedeeoh zat you wuh planneeng for Chreesmuss?

[ukefailable]

I used to be able to play like rob but then i took a arrow to the knee

[Jurassic104]

Is "De La meh" a reference I missed?

[TommyGun9713]

I used to watch andertons video's all the time

until I took an arrow to the knee

[MrJonzii94]

My stomach hurts from laughing...:')

[MrTomRichy]

You appear to have forgotten that the Flying V looks like an arrow..

[TommyGun9713]

we need more marlene =D

[Moltisanti]

Can't believe you did the fanny fingers thing! Hehe! :D

[DrugMeToHell1]

Nobody makes decent reveiws anymore.

Chappers is one of the few who can ;)

[syntheticskull]

The next person to make an "arrow to the knee" joke is going to take a guitar to the head...

[najtrows]

gah! i want to learn some licks! i know scales but no licks! got any tips!?

[VaporSuperflyII]

@najtrows justinsandercoe has some insane ones

[najtrows]

@VaporSuperflyII ah! i've forgotten about him since i learnt the basics.. going to check him out the first thing i do after work!

[amevilee]

I'm sorry I genuinely couldn't watch it because of the arrow to the knee jokes.

[buffalo4321able]

With all the jokes giong on, here's one:

"Smile if you aren't wearing an underwear :) " - Me

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

I can't stop crying i'm laughing so hard xD The sparrow joke did me in x'D

[jasfiona]

Perhaps the axes took some pointy sticks to the neck as,unusually for Chappers there seems to be some tuning issues. Maybe they all took one for the team?

[AndertonsMusic]

I used to be a credible gear reviewer, but then I took a Rob Chapman to the knee.

[guitardood666]

Did I hear Stick going on about the time Bradley Walsh cracked up about Fanny Schmelar on The Chase? :)

[dpeleikis]

I used to be an gardener, then I took an cucumber to my knee

[sonnyd124]

i used to be in take that but then i took barlow to the knee

[boogieou818]

someone dosed the eggnog

[TiboukMusiChannel]

Awesome video guys ... Thanks for making my day, again ^^

[TheJerksTC]

What song is that at 13:57?? I really like it!!

[derwalkerhaus]

Lol

[derwalkerhaus]

Omg... Without u guys I don't think would ever laugh.

[leftyzappa]

hahahaha "Away in an Ampeg"...Seriously...email me that Gibson V please.

[masterbeef92]

TROOOLL TROOOLLL IN THE DUNGEON!

[gotdapoison]

What Zakk Wylde song is that you're playing at 21:32 ?

[pivetlord13]

Judging from 3:14 im guessing chappers heard the new metallica ep haha

[gotdapoison]

YOU GUYS WERE SO STOOOONED ! :D

I thumb-up-ed the video :D

[antihax91]

Hey Chappers, or anyone with experience with these amps. Would you say that the lower wattage/smaller versions sound like the 50 watt Clean channel, but with lower volume and headroom? Because that harder driven tone is incredible.

[wesmatron]

Someone got a chemistry set for Christmas

[funkyp4nd4]

I used to play guitar, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[SixStringHarmonies]

My primary amp is a 1966 Ampeg Gemini I. I have tried dozens and dozens of guitar amps over the past 15+ years, and have yet to find anything that has such a sweet, articulate, and sparkling tone as the Gem 1. I've come across a few that came close, namely the Matchless DC-30 being the closest to it, but even with it's 2x12" setup, it can't capture the low mids and bass that my Ampeg can. Truly an amazing amp company that excels at bass amps, but also perfected the guitar amp many decades ago.

[brimill1980]

nice:) how would these amps compare to the laney vc30 cleans tho? been using a 2x12 vc30 for years and have yet to find a punchier clean tone
