  • how can they make this amp sound in shit

  • I think this good head.

  • I make better sound in guitar rig)

  • Should have done better than get 2 Nu-Metal guitarists.

  • My Powerball does not sound this shitty. Don't trust the tone on this video. The amp sounds far better in person. 

  • isn't joe coffey from the green mile?

  • I have the Fireball 100 and the Orange 40th anniversary 4x12 ... and it sound 1000x better in person. They really don't do this powerball any justice. Listen to one in person before you judge one.

  • At 4:20 sounds exactly like a Demoraliser riff...

  • @36hunters Except Nath uses a Marshall! :P

  • @Shreddus Ofcourse but the riff itself sounds very similar and not far off tone wise.

  • I like engl a lot but damn the powerball is nasty sounding.

  • does anyone know the 2nd song that Misha plays on the crunch setting?

  • 3:51 he fucks up?

  • I want that amp so bad!!!

  • Monsters of hi gain....and they don't do the ENGL Invader....please.....or the ENGL V. Smolski :-p

  • Sorry to say I do not know much about these players here but I have played guitar for only 3 years and can play almost like this. I can also say I can hear these same players in guitar center anywhere in the U.S. And Actually have heard BETTER guitarists playing at guitar center. Sorry just sayin.... Nice amp sounding like a line 6.

  • @Megathrasher1975 Honestly, look up Periphery and seriously say that any GC guy could play like that.

  • I've never heard amps sound so bad than in this series. Or maybe I've only heard them after some genius makes them sound good with some magic mastering.....

  • what D: i didn't think that it was possible to make engls sound bad. i mean for christ's sake, marty friedman uses this to get beautiful tones by leaving all knobs dialed for 12 o clock. that's all he does and it sounds like a sonic orgasm.

  • @zdkezios I haven't been really updated with Marty nowadays...but glad to hear he's using ENGL!!!! Fantastic!

  • dont blame the guitarist for the bad review. PG didnt pick players that have much versitility in there playing. and if you think Misha suck your a fucking idiot listen to some of periphery's song i bet you can't write that well.

  • ORANGE?! WHAT?!!? WHYYYY!?!?! NOOOOO!!!!!!

  • This doesnt really sound like our powerball

  • are they retarded?

    

  • i fuckin love misha <3

  • puke

  • COME ON NOW...... get a clue. These guys suck ass... they make such great amps sound like complete garbage! Way to advertise...... looks like you guys (premier guitar) really know what you're doing. ...fail

  • Hm... I liked the riff at 2:27 and at 3:16...

  • Worst demo ever! Stupid chords! Distorted mic signal! A shame for GP!

  • @BEC0S that is true, not only he is playing shitty but i don't think you cam abbreciate the nuances of defined and precise high gain with a shred monster like that where the two pickups are at most 1 inches from each other! but that's my opinion!

  • Misha is actually really good, but the tone they had set up on this amp at the time sucked shit.

  • @pmgallant REALLY???!!!..... come on now!.......do you even play guitar?! you don't get a "suck ass" tone out of a powerball.... you can't go pointing false blame just because you like a guitarist. if you think this guy is good..... maybe you should take a closer look at your comment and compare it to the fact that.... this is far from a crappy amp. as a matter of fact... this is one of those amps that make people sound better.

  • @11ErikTheRed but still, you do have a right to your own opinion... i just think you shouldn't point blame at things that have nothing to do with said point. :)

  • @11ErikTheRed Hey guy, I didn't say the amp sucked. I've played through one extensively, and they sound balls-crushingly amazing. I'm just saying that whatever tone they had dialed in, and whatever position they had the mic in made the amp sound bad.

    That's no blame to the amp itself, that's blame to whoever set it up.

    I know some people are eager to make others look bad, but you're trying way too hard. Maybe take a minute to read my comment before flying off the handle.

  • These videos are niiice! Whichever. Im gonna buy sumthin.

  • HOly fuck we need a new Tube Screamer setting or just take that thing away from Mansoor.

  • This Misha guy really sucks!!! O_o

  • @vooooooooooho Nigga, have you even listened to Periphery?

  • @vooooooooooho So you've never heard a guitar in your life?

  • 3:16

    The song is called " I lost my lunch in my pants" search it on youtube.

    funniest periphery song

  • needs more cowbell 

  • they need ola englund!

  • Comment removed

  • @schpeidermann you sir are, correct

  • @schpeidermann With him and Rebecca Dirks, they would be unstoppable.

  • @schpeidermann hell yeah

  • @schpeidermann FUCK YES THEY DO

  • skip to 5:49 for some beautiful

  • that sounds like pure shit....these guys are supposed to be different styles? well for one those guitars are turds and really the powerball? my fireball 100 is like godzilla come paired to this vid...which my was bias'd to kt88's and 12at7's but i think stock the invader and fireball have more gain and beastlyness that this head. and those guys are fucking horrible.the one guy needs to stop wackin it to korn and cut the dreads and the other dude needs to lean how to play a 7 string.imho.

  • @Intothemassacre11 okay I can understand the guy from TFK but Misha? This video DOES NOT prove anything about his skill, search up some of his work and Periphery.

  • @Intothemassacre11 Have you even listened to periphery?

  • Uhhh why did they choose to demo the powerball over the savage or invader?

  • Agh... Not a fan of Orange cabs. Engl's in general sound great, however they are a little "nasally" for my personal tastes.

  • @Kalenorr I was thinking the same thing

  • Orange Cabs are more transparent. I think that might be why they decided to use one. But yeah...idk...

  • Why the hell they play it through an Orange cab?

  • @m4ssee vintage 30

  • I like Misha's smile at 3:28.

  • @BreeBree1731

    He must have been thinking of the lyrics of that song he is playing, if you know what I mean. :D

  • @m4ssee

    Sure i know dude :) And i didnt understand too, why he is playing through a Orange cab, A Mesa Stiletto or something simliar would be much better, if you ask me ;)

  • The funny thing is that Misha used a powerball.

  • @diabeticmonkey Fairly sure Misha is an invader user.

  • That guys play guitar about 1 month..beginners or what ??

  • After watching several of this series of demos I like the tone of the ENGL & H&K amps the best. Too bad they got such one dimensional players to demo them. It's like listening to the 12 year olds who crank it up at guitar center.

  • im not trying to be a complete dick but ty kinda made almost all the amps he tested sound like complete ass. its juz sounds horrible the way he sets it. sorry to all you thousand foot krutch lovers

  • Misha with that Tube Screamer was beast!

  • orange cab? are you crazy? :D

  • Why can't they have DIFFERENT artists play! I've never even heard of the guy from TFC (heard of the band, never listened to it) and even though I love Misha, he plays the same thing over and over and chokes the shit out of his palm mutes which is annoying.

  • @smileyman455 all you are doing is bitching about his playing which is annoying.

  • @metallica5252 I came here to see what the amp I want to buy sounds like, not dick ride Periphery you gay cunt. I'm not bitching, he is making it hard to tell the difference between all the amps they are demoing because he plays the same thing with the same EQ settings on every amp. Asshat...

  • @smileyman455 dude if you have a specific tone in your head that you want to get, then no matter what amp you try out you are going to get as close as possible to that tone. That's why it sounds similar in every video.. but I can still tell the difference between all the amps, maybe your ears aren't trained yet..and maybe you should stick with the fag from thousand foot krutch he's more your style.

  • @metallica5252

    What if we think both Ty and Misha suck? I'm afraid that's where I stand.

    And in any case, this is a demonstration. Covering two styles (nu-metal and djent) hardly cuts it when there are death metal and thrash players.

  • @Madbutcher305 ..well this isn't your video series then. . move along to the search bar.

  • @metallica5252

    So, a series about high gain amps should not represent two high gain genres which are currently popular in the metal community? This video is called Monsters Of High Gain, so I expected there to be some wider coverage than this. No offense to either Ty or Misha but I simply don't care for their playing styles and tone so this video really isn't useful for me.

  • @Madbutcher305 alright. Ty's tone sucks because the mids are scooped, Misha's tone consists of a lot of mid-range. if scooped mids is your style then I feel sorry for you.

  • @metallica5252

    Actually my tone has moderate mids, bass around 8 and treble at 10, so it's a fairly balanced tone. It's also quite annoying that both guitarists dowtune by quite a large amount, which is not something I do. Simply put neither guitarist show how versatile the amp is in its high gain tone.

  • @Madbutcher305 ..oh yea because downtuning the E string to a D is a large amount. don't forget Misha, he tunes down a COMPLETE half-step and drops the lowest string a whole step. such a large amount right? lol

  • @metallica5252

    Yeah, drop G# totally isn't 8 HALF STEPS below E. Sure he plays a seven string, but relatively that's way too low for me. And drop D lacks the tightness of Eb or above.

    Also, I meant that it doesn't sound too scooped or too heavy on the mids. And I'm SORRY, but I like a harsher and tighter tone. Also, I personally have a pretty crappy amp, so that's why I'm LOOKING AT THIS VIDEO.

  • @Madbutcher305 treble 10 and bass 8, yea sound's fairly balanced..lmao! sorry but when i turn my treble past 2 or 3 o clock on any amp it sounds like garbage. you obviously have a knack for a harsh annoying tone, that's fine with me but don't call it balanced unless all your settings are set to 12 o clock (5)

  • @metallica5252 Also, if it appeases you to know, I use an equalizer pedal when I tune down to a lower tuning (occasionally I go to Open B for Devin Townsend style shenanigans) with my mids heavily boosted and with my bass and treble reduced somewhat.

    Now stop being such a zealot for your ideas.

  • @metallica5252 I've never even heard of that guy and never listened to TFK. Also, I don't need to "train my ears" there is obviously a difference, but not enough to draw conclusions on. If they used different musicians with different play styles it would be better than listening to the nobody from TFK and the same dissonant chords Misha plays all the time. They aren't using them for what they are meant for which is super heavy low end. Give it to someone like DL from Acacia Strain perhaps...

  • the sad part is they are in a band...

  • MY GIRLFRIEND MESSAGES ME EVERY HOUR,

    MY GIRL TEXT MESSAGES ME IN THE SHOWER!

    Misha fans will get this.

  • wow misha's palm muting was terrible.

  • Misha's guitar sounds so out of tune.

  • Man how can this people demo an amp with just an sm 57

  • These guys made this ENGL sound like complete shit.

  • @MrDonutboii sounds fine to me..

  • @MrDonutboii misha killed it with the tube screamer

  • @MrDonutboii Don't talk shit on Misha.

  • @Deathz0r94 You mad bro?

  • @MrDonutboii Nah bro, I ain't mad, but thanks for caring ;D

  • @Deathz0r94 :D

  • @MrDonutboii X3

  • @MrDonutboii took the words right out of my mouth!!!! LOL

  • @MrDonutboii I can't speak for the guy with Dreads, but Misha is a Djent guitarist, it's gonna sound weird with his playing style.

  • Misha starts @ 3:08

  • I got this bitch! The sound is heaven!

  • Joe Coffey... Like the drink, but not spelt the same.

  • No fucking way! 3:20 Misha's playing "I lost my lunch in my pants"! That's the first time i ever see him plyaing that f**king good song! Awesome rendition with the crunch !

  • misha may not be the best player, BUT HE IS THE BEST FUCKING MUSIC CREATOR OF OUR TIME SO STFU AND ENJOY HIS BRILLIANCE

  • i cant beleive people dissing misha, the guy plays some good music..these demos arent amazing but hes not a peice of shit? cmon dont be so childish..

  • I watched all 13 amps in this demo series and i all comes down in my opinion 1) ENGL, 2) Mesa, 3) SOLDANO, 4) Orange 5) Huges and Ketter, fuck the rest yo

  • @LapizLazuli333 I'm mad you didn't include Framus...

  • @LapizLazuli333 wheres Krank and Blackstar?

  • @TheDailyDigest The Krank isn't my sound maybe it is yours though but Black Star is good shit i just bought an HT 60 combo two days ago and its a fucking beast yo. The BlackStar in this vid wasn't too good sounding though.

  • @LapizLazuli333 touche(:

    im just not so much for the brands that sell small 5 watt practice heads for $500 (blackstar, etc.), im planning on getting an ENGL Invader, Schecter Hellraiser C-8, and an Orange AC30 and ill post a higher quality sounding of a sweet ENGL tone(:

  • @TheDailyDigest Can't Go wrong with ENGL, super high quality from what i have heard. The Invader is a really ass kicking amp, high quality shit. I am saving up for a special edition with EL34's, I just love the british sounding metal better than the 6L6's.

  • @LapizLazuli333 I've heard good things about EL34's, british sound is FTW!(: good luck bro and tell me how it works out ^.^

  • @LapizLazuli333 Try two KT88s in the power section and use the ohm setting that is half of your cab rating since you're cutting out two tubes. If it's your first time wear a diaper or else you will fill up your shoes. All ENGLs come with really really small output transformers(which choke out with 4 tubes) so what you'll end up with is a ridiculously amazing sound. You will only lose 3db of headroom, but everything about the amp will be better. Comes close to a VHT/Fryette power section.

  • @bedofrazorsqwerty really? I will look that up, for sure dude.

  • Even the crunch channel has more gain than my lead channel fuck i would buy this amp buy it is FUCKING EXPENSIVE

  • People seem to forget that this is NOT a "who's better at playing guitar" competition. This is an AMP demo. And Ty gets better tones out of it.

  • I respect Ty, but he isn't doing these amps justice, and Misha is the worst piece of shit ever. If you wanted a good demo, you should have brought in Ola Englund

  • @Erock09291 man you are FUCKING CORRECT THESE GUYS SUCK OLA ENGLUND IS THE BEST BECAUSE OF HIM I MIGHT BUY THE DEAN AMP OR THE HT5 BLACKSTAR!!!

  • @Erock09291 Keep your rather uninformed opinion to yourself. You dont like djent, fine, dont watch videos with djent guitarists.

  • @kalakuttakamina it isnt djent. its progressive

  • misha is the crappest player ive ever seen!!!!! period

  • @reyrey9001 Say why or play better.

  • anyone actually pay attention to Ty's playing? yea, hes not a master shredder and his tones not the best but he has GREAT style.

  • i just skip to Misha every time....

  • @88segovia I only skip to him because he uses the same pickups that i got in my custom made guitar, and i wanna know what they sound like through a high gain amp (I have a Fuchs Mantis).

  • @88segovia i just skip Misha everytime lol

  • @88segovia i just skip misha every time

  • 3:17 Oh god that song. :D

  • Gotta love german engineering huh.i mean come on.Engl? sennheiser?Audi?.Fucken hell these guys really know their stuffs

  • @getsuga987 I know Germany always makes good shit

  • @Felixth3cat I cant even to begin the other goodies they make.toneczar,OKKO?.Best distortion pedal makers everrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • @getsuga987 I know. Fucking Germany. Lol even their damn floyd rose tremolos are like the best you can get.

  • @Felixth3cat Yeah :( i wish i was german lol

  • how about we all just get along...music is music no matter what style you play

  • As much as I love Misha his playing doesn't really shine here. I guess the fact that he knows no theory would make up for his lack of improv skills, but compared to the tone he uses in Periphery, this is terrible. It just comes out muddy with no punch, and the other guy doesn't have any bass or mids. The funny thing is if you combined the two it would probably sound fine.

  • They use such nice amps but the playing makes me want to kill myself.

  • i really like the second guys guitar, do they make them in 6 string? also what brand is it.

  • @masterbeef92 It's a Bernie Rico (B.C. Rich) custom guitar. Check them out at ricojrguitars. I'm sure you can get whatever you want made so long as you have the money.

  • @masterbeef92 They're both Bernie Rico Jr.'s but I hope you have some money saved up. starts at about 2k and goes up quick. yes they make 6s

  • I lost my lunch in my pants!

  • Haha JOE COFFEY??? That's like saying Coffee Coffee :3

  • ditch that fuckin orange cab!!!

  • @anusmister While he may have had a great education in music theory, he's never played anything that even vaguely interested me. I think that Misha has a distinctive way of playing, and Ty is just okay. I think it just goes to show that regardless of musical knowledge, an ear for music is required to write interesting songs. Although if you could show me a good "Synyster" solo, I would give it a try.

  • Why does everyone seem to hate Misha and Ty? Aren't there bands which are more offensively bad? I personally like both of these guys, especially when it's considered that far worse bands like Avenged Sevenfold are insanely popular (relatively speaking.).

  • me llamo joe Cafe :) hahahaha

  • I dont know what are you talking about guys. This amp sound fckin brutal ( 4:50 )

    Ola mixes his stuff after recording this is how those amps sound like raw without mix...

  • @FungusLabel listen to Ola's raw tracks of amps. Still sounds better because of his mic placement, PG has needs to move the mic around.

  • This demo is poo, I don't know how this guys can make a truly great amp to sound like shit... And those are pro musicians :S.

  • Why are they making this amp sound like ass? It can sound so much better than this. Suck!

  • Just Ditch Misha and get Ola Englund to do the demos. He's already demoed 80% of the high gain amps.

  • If it sounds like that, I might aswell buy a Marshall MG

  • Misha destroys that other guy who the fuck is he?

  • ty dietzler sound better with a 6 strings guitar than the ohter guy i think

  • what tuning does misha uses in his 7 string? !!

  • @emmaskater Ab/G# its the same thing either way

  • I KNEW I heard some "AAL" in Misha Mansoor's playing. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @PlaugeNecropolis yes you are

  • MISHA SMILES!

  • Breeze at 6:10 fucking WIN.

  • 3:29 is his misha's djent face

  • I'd like to see someone replace that Ty guy, he had like nothing ready to play, maybe if brent hinds or mark morton was on it.

  • Ty uses no gain on his amp demos!

  • Whats Misha playing at 3:49?

  • Homer Simpson: Mmmmmmmmmm Coffee!

  • some vids they have the matching cab othertheyhave the orange...its kind of inconsistant.either get the matching cab for every head or use the orange for all of them.

  • 06:11 Breeze (L) : D

  • 3:20, is that some periphery song? kicks ass imo

  • @zack9922299 It's called I Lost My Lunch In My Pants. You can probably find it on his Soundclick.

  • @Kaiotei that's spot on! thank you very much sir

  • Way to make another incredible amp sound like shit Misha, it completely boggles me how you idiots think the other guy isn't just as good as him. Do you have guitar picks stuck in your ears? Or you guys just not diverse enough to listen to anything else?

  • @ESPsandEmgs you're kind of an asshole aren't you? People are entitled to their own opinions.

  • @AutoDidactic26

    I'm not any more of an asshole all these other fanboys are for insinuating this other guy is far less talented than "Bulb". You are right, people ARE entitled to their opinions, no matter HOW outrageously ignorant and fanboyish that opinion can be. And I am entitled to remind them of their stupidity.

  • @ESPsandEmgs Have you listened to both artists music? Or are you basing your opinion of this amp demo video? Ty Dietzler can play some power chords and stuff, misha has his own unique playing style and is a shit load more incredible. I haven't heard any other guitarist like him and trust me I've heard more than you can imagine.

  • @AutoDidactic26

    More than I can imagine? Is that some kind of dig at how many guitarists I have listened to over the past 16 years I have played?

    What you said does not change the fact that these videos are filled with comments from nothing more than the fanboys of an average guitarists, with a unique style that they all enjoy worshiping. To be perfectly honest, he doesn't do any of these amps justice, but thats what happens when you hook up a compressor and turn the gate up to 100%
