Budda Superdrive 18 & 30

[okamasphere]

Hello Rob!!

I'm stuck between either a 30 watt orange or budda combo. I use a rockerverb and 4x12 orange cab for my gigs and it suits me just well, however I have been liking a lot of the budda stuff I've been hearing. I know the Budda combo is a little more expensive than the Orange. I would be using the combo for at home playing and recording. Any suggestions mate?

[benjamin670]

What brand of guitars are you playing? Sounds great man!!

[bomdelux]

@benjamin670 Thems guitars right there are Peavey guitars my friend

1:14 IM TRIPPIN

[DavidRayT]

Hi, Rob! Just wondering, if you've ever played an Orange Thunder 30, and if you have, how it compares to the Super Drive 18 combo, when it comes to hard rock/metal tones?

Thanks!

[NoyzyBoyZ3]

Chappers,you kill me dude!I subscribed long before this but seeing this would have made me sign up for sure.

[JustMyxu]

Hey Rob, do you remember which parts of this vid was made on 18?

I am interested in SD 18, today i was playing it, and i wasn't able to get such nice modern tone out of it with this massive bass response which you've got (as in example in4:14). I wonder if it's a poor cables fault, pretty sh*& randall 2x12 which i was playing, or just my inability caused by long period of tiny terror using - only single tone control:)

Can this amp do progmetal with boost (BB preamp)? not super heavy,DT or sth

[dimeowns100]

@madews This years lims has been shut down dude :/

[TheSpirit0fRadi0]

@dimeowns100 I know man, it was gonna be in September so yea

[TheSpirit0fRadi0]

@dimeowns100 I know man, bad times. Hopefully its still on for next september.

[dimeowns100]

@TheSpirit0fRadi0 Yeah apparently it just couldn't sell enough tickets this year but if the tickets sell enough then it's on

[BaaMooSki]

That tele type guitar sounded fab, what was it?

[someguyoketcetc]

Please please, clean bitchy beast lick tutorial vid?

[clintpoonae]

get rid of the beard and long hair. the glasses and the thing in your hair have to go too.

[goodguitaristatmetal]

@clintpoonae You have to go

not chappers signature looks

[Raty99]

Clearly a great amp!I checked out the budda website but couldn't find any sound bites.Seriously thinking about getting one of these amps and it would be cool if i could hear it without all the background noise!!

[danyeo]

1:16 LOL

[RoarytheGuit88]

The gear is pretty nice, but seriously- that guitarist is awesome!

[mrbones410]

4:15 - 4:17 was badass!

[SwampAshSpecial]

GAS!

[atla18]

That's a pretty good suonding amp, at least form what I can make out. Nice demo

[danyeo]

If this is at NAMM they DON'T let you turn the amps up. Volume police.

[mike31jmb]

Yeah which is stupid because that's what NAMM was made for trying all the new sh!t, and now.. another form of Naziism!

[guysapire]

lol!! XD

[mike31jmb]

Ok so you wanna give me a thumbs down with no comment? Your either still a nazi or your one of the AZZ's that run around the NAMM show or ANY show and tell people turn turn down! Either way whatever!

[guysapire]

look at the info box it says "at LIMS 09"

[prsnstrat]

What guitar is he using with the Floyd Rose?

[stubee5150]

It looks like a Peavey HP, which is basically a Peavey Wolfgang with a double cutaway. I think that Telecaster looking guitar is a Peavey too. I heard that Peavey owns Budda so I guess it makes sense that he's playing Peavey guitars.

[fastfretjazz]

Peavey.

[GregSlashCooper]

rob i fully and undeniably respect your skill originality and humbleness and THAT is the reason why i subscribe to you...congrats about marshall and greetings from the U.S.A

[RobChappers]

Wow.. thanks mate, that means a lot to me ;-)

[GregSlashCooper]

btw ...not intending to bother you and im sure you get this question all the time...if i wanted to get an endorsement deal what would i have to do...are there ne companies that do such thing for unheard of guitarists

[SeymourDuncanDonuts]

@GregSlashCooper

I think he has a video about just such a thing. If you search a bit through his back catalog, you should find it.

[buckster7777]

love your stuff, Rob

[divgtrslingr]

great amps the guy playin is a hot dog.

[spacemanGoldie]

Look mum! God I hate these shows, only ever went to one and it is full of guys like this shredding on their stands to wannabe guitar heroes, the sad thing is they all sound the same as each other and all take themselves ever so seriously - those who can do - those who can't - teach. Sorry but this is what is destroying originality in music and turning guitar playing into a sport rather than an expression of creativity

[RobChappers]

Is bullshit...

I teach, but I also do... I have a band, I gig, session, clinic, and review. To survive as a guitarist in these times you need your fingers in as many pies as possible... Something you clearly wouldn't know about.

[RobChappers]

Oh really who did you clinic for?

[phallictractor]

I guess that ass doesn't have a response.

[RobChappers]

His silence is deafening isn't it ha ha... He's probably busy  "destroying originality in music" ha ha

[MuffinWithAnAxe]

Normally I'd agree with what that guys saying... but man he couldn't have picked a worse person to demonstrate unoriginality lol! If he picked some other shredder I would have probably said "Mate, I absolutely agree"... but not the chappers! :O

[RobChappers]

When/where are you touring next mate and where can we hear your music?

I'm sure the guys would love to see you play... do you have any videos up of your playing/

[SeymourDuncanDonuts]

@RobChappers

 Dude does not converse like a professional at all. Though he doesn't have the feel of a complete nobody. He has the feel of a slightly more versed nobody with an agenda of some kind. Perhaps he even knows you? Kind of creepy to think of it from that angle. I think most guys put in that corner would have come clean with some material by now. Then he wouldn't need to keep posting anonymous comments on youtube.

Diggin' the Chappers. He's got the magic hands, (totally not gay).

[ReeceLiamAllsop]

hey anyone that uses that many large words in a youtube comment doesn't get you laid.

maybe you should appreciate the work rob does for his fans hes giving millions a chance to become someone; and if thats "gay" then your the homo. like you say you live off your royalties well who the fuck are you some dude who thinks hes the coolest shit ever while you dont even know shit.

instead of using big words why dont you do something with your life or go fuck yourself

[spacemanGoldie]

U who posts himself shirtless on webcam making noises on his guitar and sending homophobic accusations because in his tiny little mind he cannot think of anything else to say is pretty laughable don't you think? ReeceLiam Allsop? I've been ignoring most of the poison email for daring to question the monkey lord's motives but this one takes the biscuit as a lame-assed vacuous attack from an homophobic northern twat. Congratulations! You are officially stupid.

[ReeceLiamAllsop]

yeah im stupid and whats your point maybe im only stupid on youtube to attrat viewers that will go wtf because thats what i do. and funny how you noticed the shirtless thing maybe you do like the comfort of a man

well now thats done with i love you lotz and hope to see you soon

not really dig a hole and jump in it prick come back when you've accomplished something

[wolverine005]

Why did you compliment him half way through that? Calling him Northern I mean! :P

[phallictractor]

rob please come sort this git out.

[spacemanGoldie]

This ass does have a response.... read below..."phallictractor" - what's that about? surely you mean man with no dick?

[phallictractor]

what songs have you written for what artists? You cant talk shit on the internet and not back it up man.

[stonerrockMP]

could not have said it better.

[MuffinWithAnAxe]

What a lovely medley of chappers win.

I heard Take Me, White Rose, Bleed the Light, Tibetan Cloud Dream and Mantra of the Monkey Lord.

Were there any others I missed?

[TheDistortionist]

Monkey Lord, this mere mortal asks you a mundane question:

How did you like the stainless steel frets on the EVH?

[Jacko11120]

what was that country song you played at the start?

[RobChappers]

That's my tune called Take Me, I have lessons teaching it in my online store ;-)

[Jacko11120]

cool! How much are lessons?

[RobChappers]

About £3 mate, go to the website and click on store ;-)

[Jacko11120]

cheers!

[J3sst44]

If I'm ever in the U.K I'm definitely going for a lesson.

[lanni5150]

If I'M in the U.K.(hopefully next fall)I'm taking Rob out on the towm!!!!

[cyclone4t4]

WTF? There were two hands on the guitar at one point in time.

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

haha, gotta love that chappers smile at 1:13

[AcDc109]

This is the best sounding amp out there so versatile. I think Im gonna save some money to buy it

[TheDistortionist]

WHY DO THESE SOUND SO GOOD???

[Stearner]

cause they're being played by the moneky lord :P

[samgam69]

i love toms laugh at 0:24

[drpicklo]

The 18 and 30 are voiced differently...so, not just wattage.

[pgong]

What are the voicing differences?

[JGBEK]

what are the differences between the 18 and 30

just wattage right?

[lauriemonk]

you know your really good at guitar... may be you should take it up professionally...

[SomethinWild]

ROFLMAO... what do you think he does for a living?:D

[lauriemonk]

why he's the monkey lord isn't he, so I guess he can do what he wants in the world of monkey?

[SomethinWild]

But he must have some kind of disguise int the world of the mortals... and being a pro guitarist is just good enough for the Monkey Lord:D

[RobChappers]

Ha ha!

[mrsin666]

great sound that comes from that 'clean bitchy beast' ;D!

but I really need to know what song it is in the beginning you're jammin on that tele? it just sounds gorgeous!

keep rockin, my lord!

[jesusisagay]

rele nice man nice sound whats that song calle du were playing white roast or sumffin?

[RobChappers]

It was White Rose from my EP "Mantra of the Monkey Lord"

[jesusisagay]

awsoem man sounds good

[surtursfire]

Mantra at the end sounded great!

[JPMike]

amazing amps. go go go for them. :D

[mcpeepants1821]

fucking pro

i take you like these amps

[RobChappers]

Love them mate, tight, purple and powerful ;-)

[mcpeepants1821]

go go go get with them haha

[weston758]

do u think you will sign with budda?

[mjwoodworth]

I be smellin a move to budda too...

[thork86]

i've smelled that since i first heard chapps mention buddha from NAMM or something a few months back.

because i've played one and they ARE that good.

knew as soon as you said the word "budda" you'd be making the move!

haha

[JMcDonnell91]

Sounds like a really laaaavly versatile amp. I look forward to being able to check the "bitchy beast" out... hahaha

[ThePaddyfish]

so mr chappers what did you make of the budda amps???

p.s. very tasty licks!!

[RobChappers]

They are excellent mate, hopefully I'll get the chance to play some more :-)

[yoflyisdown]

It looks like a peavey hp.

[RobChappers]

Correct

[snakesonaplayne6]

The HP was modeled after the guitar EVH designed when he was signed to Peavey, when he left he went too Music-man and designed the Axis. Or he started at Music-Man and went to peavey, I don't remember for sure, but hes affiliated with fender and now has EVH Guitars (which is a subsidy of Fender).

[jarred5150]

Musicman Axis

[Chulkov89]

I lol'd at "Clean bitchy beast". And then the expression you made, lmao.

That tele-ish guitar you played was sweet.

[JayDeeSG]

Any potential for Budda to be the next "Monkey Amp"??

[wickedexp]

Simple but beautiful lookin' guitar.

[jawadahmad77]

I played a budda superdrive 18 at a store using a suhr S4. Thats a match made in heaven. Rob - you should check out some Suhr guits - would be right down your alley.

[mojo292]

Awesome performance and the amps sound wicked!! Great jams mate! 5 stars as usual ;-)

[MBString]

What guitar was that(telecaster shaped)? Was it Fender or something else. It's fucking beautifull, the best looking tele i've ever seen!!

[RobChappers]

It's Peavey's own Tele.. really nice retails about £1400

[demonix888]

WHAT? I was playing a £1400 guitar and didn't even know it. Fuck. Me. Sideways.

[vegetoe01]

Not only did i play that Budda the day before you, but also that guitar! It was handed to me by one of Peavey's handy staff when i wanted to test out a 6505 new combo, but it had broken so he said to check out budda. :D good stuff

[RevilationGuitar91]

1:15 wtf? :D

[DarkRaven03]

Hey chappers, I'm just wondering, it looks like you're using 1.5mm tortex sharps now...is that right?

[RobChappers]

Brit pick 2mm ;-)

[broomiester]

you obviously haven't played many amps then OOOOH!!!!! buuurn!

[jk1487]

lmao, that was great

[sportsportsport]

3:44 to 3:50. That is so David Grissom!... Awesomeness on his behalf lol... nice tone by the way

[Janesch]

that peavey tele looks and sounds so cool!

my amp-recommendations:

fryette and pcl-vintageamp (handmade in germany)

[MuffinWithAnAxe]

nice bleed the light in there! and mantra of the monkey lord!

[Spenceros]

rocking, and is that Leslie "Awesome Tone" West I see on the poster behind you, senor Monkey Lord?

[HeatMaster22]

What kind of Telecaster is that?

[DudefishDoohikie]

Looks like some kinda peavey from the headstock =)

[Spenceros]

thumbs up for truth!

[TheZefMan]

I thought I'd gone mental at 1:16 !!

[Rekilo]

"These things are the devils arse." Hehe.

[QuickLicksUK]

i think i know wat company chapers is goin 2!

[IronGuitarist]

Before he does?

[nirvanamario]

tele rules!!!

[RobChappers]

Do you need a hug?

[IbanezFreysi]

Maybe he meant "THE shit". But whatever who cares.

Good luck picking a new amp company. Ever heard of Dr Z?

[chrisiztheman1618]

[Hannes88667]

1:16 epic :-D  hehehehehe

[maxlamenace987654321]

Man that's a lot of gain for single coils! This thing should be totaly evil with humbuckers!

[Stearner]

Ahh, nice to see you going back to your old Black Hand riffs.. Let Your Devil Die ftw :-)

[illusionfreak]

Sounds like you've dialed in that signature Chappers sound. The Budda does it quite nicely, I might add. I'll be decently suprised if you don't move to Budda. Great jam as always man.

P.S. You answered my question of whether or not a Budda cleans up by guitar volume. Sounds nice. I think a single channel amp should do that.

[SixMoreReasons]

Like to see you growing an extra arm every few seconds there haha real monkey power!

[ascp67]

Nice to see you playing a Tele Rob
