Fuchs Viper Amp Head

[ccoker95]

2:27 to hear the amp and not his annoying voice

[CHIPDADDY1000]

Mantis !

[tonyc329]

These are great sounding amps and this demo does NOT do them justice. Sorry.

[Seandude223]

An amp that looks like it say fucks...with a thrust button... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MrJaxreid]

Fred Fuchs! (AVGN Reference)

[racerx3065]

you think they could have made it smaller, it hasnt got tha many knobs on the front

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@racerx3065 not really its got two pre amps and a fuckload of tubes

[PIlotrcm]

GO Fuchs yourself!

[playingwithshotguns]

The amp looks like it says fucks, and it looks like it should be pronounced fucks.

[joeyjeremiah1]

I WANT THAT SET-UP!!!!!!! 0.0

[Fenderwolf95]

Am I hearing a reverby chorus type of sound? or are my ears just Fuching up? Seriously though.

[mazingguitar]

Paul is amazing guitarist.

[GUlTARlST]

oh for fuchs'ake!

[PeaveyESP]

Jake and Jinxx from Black Veil Brides use these. Haven't heard of Fuchs until then. (Haters don't hate on Black Veil Brides, they have very good guitarists for the genre, very melodic.)

[willievega]

He looks like Michael J. Fuchs!!!

[MrSimonAegerter]

lol all you guys read fucks but fuchs is german and means fox

[metalmusiqcrzy]

crank more gain on channel 2 heck its on 5 and still is bad as hell.sweet amp but sound quality aside i can tell this amps a beast .just poor cheap mic ing of the cab but hey at least they tried thats more than most magizines do for us

[Disciple1818]

I hate that guitar with humbuckers in it, ugllyy

[TheZackyV]

Fucks Viper...

[yekshemesh4alig]

Pretty decent amp as far as I can tell.

Awesome guitar!

[DrEviscerator666]

Fuck Viper and Fuck Cobra!

[Moodyz3]

What's the the brand of the guitar that Paul's using?

[haloinyasha1]

@Moodyz3

That's a Charvel

[avery000]

@Moodyz3 Charvel

[StratGT]

I've seen a few reviews with and I wonder if you could change guitars and re-do some of your reviews. Your guitar sounds muffled on all your reviews. Is it those pickups?

[jetlag51]

hehe... Thrust knob...

[riquelme64]

a fuchs is a animal in german



[GhostmakerX]

Thumbs up if you watched this to see how he pronounced "Fuchs"

[intrsoul]

I love Fuchs, but c'mon... Your's for the bargain basement price of $2300! Yay!

[mdaleo]

@intrsoul Not bad for a boutique quality, American made amp.

[armasiel]

lol it's pronounced "Shazzi" not "Chasis" :)

[TheFallenillusion]

well i just found my new amp!!!!

[xxxMrAwesomexxx]

I'm sure this is a quality product and I thought the first channel sounded very versatile but jeez, who the hell wants to sound like 80's Metallica ALL THE DAMN TIME?

[stratboy1972]

@xxxMrAwesomexxx dude this amp sounds way better than metallica EVER could and I think this amp's trash

[talledu]

How do you tell how much of the sound comes from the guitar and how much from the amp?

[mdaleo]

@talledu Much comes from the amp in any situation. You can play a cheap guitar through a great amp and it sound good. If you put a $5k guitar through a crap amp, it'll sound like crap.

[TYX91101]

Great amp, except for the metal channel. Anybody got a chain saw?

[EuphorbusBTB]

KT 88 ROCK!!!

[krankank]

@EuphorbusBTB KT88's all day er'y day

[MrBluesilverred]

That thing Fuching rocks!

[moonstar16651]

Oh yeah, and totally agree about the concensus about channel 1 versus channel 2. Channel one is beautiful sounding, but channel 2, at least with that EQing, will have sound engineers throwing beer bottles at you for having something so scooped and unable to punch through a live mix.

[moonstar16651]

I always find Paul's videos funny. He starts off playing some pedestrian classic rock riffs, then ends up do some kick ass shred stuff at the end.

[Toaster121]

paul is my hero!

[dyingforastrat]

Paul when you play clean it sounds like a piece they would play on the show intervention after they do the follow up at the end of the show if they stayed sober. '

I think this amp sounds very cali modern flavour, almost alchemist like in some spots.

[powertothechord]

fuchs?i almost thought it says fucks

[uofm97]

@powertothechord I bet their employees have a few in-jokes about that. lol.

[tonetubs]

Oh yea by the way charvel guitars are great. I personally own two gibsons, a fender, two talyors, and and a PRS and these guitars are just as good. how can you compare line six syntthetic white noise to the warm sound of tubes?

[tonetubs]

Line six sucks cock, this amp might suck but their overdrive supreme is the closest thing to dumble out there.

[ISCHNIK]

this amp sounds fucking terrible

[SiXXMAN6661]

pronounced Chassis wrong. fail

[GRANKOR]

'fucks'

[asdfasdsfsa]

it's the german word for "fox".. and no. It's not pronounced like that :D

[GRANKOR]

haha, I know I was just being silly :)

[dduboe]

i just got  a line 6 spider 3, i cant stop playing it

[MrMemphisJim]

pretty sure you could have gotten these tones from a line 6. thought these were supposed to be boutique? there's no noise, but in a bad way. and that guitar probably doesn't help. If you're going to try to just be unique, set your guitar on fire, don't buy a crappy one. there are no name nice guitars and no names for a reason.

[PetroSSLP]

can anyone tell me what guitar he uses?

[DeathByMetal8]

@PetroSSLP Charvel San Dimas

[PetroSSLP]

thanks man

[DeathByMetal8]

wait I lied, its a Charvel So Cal. . . both very similar

[DAKMAIN]

@DeathByMetal8 At first, glance i thought G&L, but good eye man.

[aarona493]

channel 2 blows. thats just gross.

[TheGatheringStorms]

Channel one is beautiful. Really nice, tight gain and beautiful cleans.

Channel two. Bleh. Gross. Muddy. Disgusting. ... And I really like ultra high-gain metal.

Too bad. :[

[kirkhammett1993]

guitar world , fucking do something with your tone , its almost the same in every videos, i mean as a guy here said, too much high mid harshness...make it sound natural guys

[FUCHSAUDIO]

Hope everyone reading this will report fuchsucks to Youtube for suspension !

[Mars251297]

@FUCHSAUDIO Yes i certainly will your Amps are the shit and have never let me down you have made a fuckin beast here so id just like to thank you :) so thanks FUCHSAUDIO thanks so so so much :)

[Mars251297]

@FUCHSAUDIO Reported :D

[dalstar925]

@fuchsucks most ignorant thing i've seen all day...get a life

[Mars251297]

@fuchsucks Fuchs are amazing looking and sounding Amps so you should learn what makes a good amp, are you fuckin tone death saying these things suck is stupid i have tried Engl's, Marshall, Bogner, deizel and countless others then i tried this thing and fell in love with it this thing is a beast and your to much of a pussy to handle it ......... PUSSY

[archenemylover1]

sounds like shit...

[ace69er]

Have to agree on Ch 2! Ch 1 was great!

[themodernguitarist]

I spy a Hughes and Kettner Cab.

[metal1032]

This is like listening to music underwater.

[iheartemo69]

he needs to play with the EQ, channel 2 does sound a bit muddy and bassy.

channel 1 = heaven!

[bassnewb32]

I wish something would be done about the tone of all GW's demo's. They all sound the same,,,,the tone has some trebly/ high mid harshness. I don't know if it's the mics they are using or the board or what but it's apparent in every GW clip.

[BurningBeard22]

Charvel So-Cal is the guitar. There is a review of it on here too. Sweet looking geet.

[FacingItAlone]

I'm reading "Fucks" on that amp head lol

[ddontforgett]

for some reason this one didn't impress me much?...

[ProgThrasher6666]

It seems abit muddy.

[guitargod120]

what guitar is that?

[fataldisas]

i love his reviews, the verbal part bause the sound always sux

got to ear it live

cheers

[nebbo13]

the distortions sound nice, but the clean was a bit disappointing

[ajatkinson2004]

They need to come out with 2 new models, a Fucher and a Mother Fucher...

[TheMagicTard]

nice

[JessyDevilVendetta]

@ajatkinson2004 Right on brother \m/

[MYTUBEISAPUSSY]

@ajatkinson2004 WHAT fucks & sucks -> is the bad weirdo-riffing of the bloke who can't play nice metal chunks to demo an amp !!!

[dalstar925]

@MYTUBEISAPUSSY well...call up guitar world and say hey this is Johnny know-it-all...i just wanted to tell you guys that bloke Paul sucks and I should have his job because i am way better at reviews than he is...orrrr you could just shut your mouth?

stop hating because he's got an awesome job and you just sit @ home jerkin yourself all day...if you're so awesome do your own reviews...go buy this amp (if you can afford it) and do your own review?

[VoodooGTR13]

Paul doesnt sweep pick, So what. His playing also is not all that robotic. But the video isnt about his playing. It is about the amp. This is a demo video for the amp. The amp sounds good too. To bad it isnt a 3 chanel amp. For me then, that would be perfect. Especialy if it had dual master volumes or a lead boost in all 3 chanels.

[mymama12314]

does any1 notice that paul doesnt sweep pick

[jawsaw]

uhh....so? sweep pickin: pfft..

[masterboi31]

who cares?

[asfastasdark]

Damn, that first channel with gain sounds nice as hell!

[nrt7892]

His playing style is very robotic!

[biotoxin21]

for the metal player and he's playing a piece of shit charvel through it.

[chooch187]

r u dumb

[biotoxin21]

no, im not canadian

[beansandcornbread]

Charvel guitars are great guitars for metal!

[biotoxin21]

if you're poor i guess...

[beansandcornbread]

I guess your too young to know then.

[biotoxin21]

Older than you chump plus i own 3 custom ibanez guitars so feel free to shut the fuck up.

[beansandcornbread]

Well, that just says it all. Try a Jackson or a Charvel and you'll know what a high-quality guitar feels like.

[chooch187]

despite what you have, charvel guitars are amazing... and you shouldnt badmouth canadians, especially when americans have a pretty big reputation for being dumb and ignorrant... and your just proving that by the way your adressing all the guys here.

[biotoxin21]

I'll take what you say seriously when you stop raping the english language with you illiteracy. Learn to spell please.

[sXeSnowmansXe]

That's a sick amp!

[lord0fshred]

oh man, what a clear sound. the distortion is the best i'v heard in a while.

[fuerstklaas]

This one sounds great and Paul did a great job, as usual. Rock on!

[YonOtto]

damn! the camera they use to record these vids has TERRIBLE chronomatic abrasion!

[CreeCore94]

dude this guy is fucken...like wtf he tries so fucken hard to play metal its fucken like sickening man

[Bartboy7777777]

That amp sounds great!

[johnadorian]

that guy's a beast.

[mamoru86]

Well... Channel 1 is nicer!

[rockexpert]

METAL FINALLY ITS GOOD BUT IM WAITING ON THE SPIDER 4 I dunno its close call.

[Asakurafan]

lol fuchs you XD

[MireWolf29]

Doesn't sound too bad. The first bit with the "Hard Rock" setting on channel 1 reminds of Van Halen.

Clean setting sound really good too.

The High Gain stuff at 4:45 sounds really muffled. Although when he started tweek the setting on the High Gain stuff, it sounds really full and has a warm quality to it.

I really like the sound of this head.

[metalrhoads]

oh, it fucks xD

that's actually funny

[BNDXKing]

hahaha i guess im not the only one who thought it was fucks

[savagesnephew]

OH COME ON, who names their company Fuchs?

[VicRattlehead6655]

It's german for "Fox" ... hey your right, who in the world names their company Fuchs??

[TravuhsWree]

Someone whose last name is Fuchs? Seriously, you guys are acting like you're in elementary school. Get a grip and grow up.

[savagesnephew]

well the average buy isn't gonna read it like that!

[sabeloide666]

ITS FUCKING HILARIOUS GET OVER IT

[TravuhsWree]

Not even, your post reveals your immaturity though, great job.

[mathiasffs]

FUCKS :]

[YouPuup]

lol at 1st i tot it was FUCKS

[0625153544]

what guitar is that?

[purefunblueman]

a charvel guitar

[LazerRazor7]

charvel so cal :b

[MetallicAklok]

some type of carvin super strat. they really make great guitars

[MetallicAklok]

im sorry not a carvin its a charvell

[ChillpointNews]

Am I the only one who thinks Paul uses way too much gain when he says "a little gain" or "medium gain"?

[HighZombiesRule]

And Engl's are better anyways for the cleans and the bro0t4l gain.

[HighZombiesRule]

It looks like it says Fucks. I approve.

[HAIKELzambri]

haha i was about to say the same thing hahaha

[hahawzz]

nice sound actually.........but wat the hell there are mnay amps brands....why the fuck they r making more....infact ppl would buy the popular amps!!! like marshalls!!

[Vercingetorix]

Marshall haven't made a good amp since 1983! Just look at all the different re-issues they've had to make.

They may be popular but they are a long way off good.

[ddontforgett]

you're right the only thing marshall really has bragging rights over is probably the JCM800 series IMO, other than that, their starting to sound generic...

[bigrock007]

Hughes & Kettner 4x12 cab

[rhinodunlop]

jaj solo veo este video por que me late un chingo es guitarra

[BaphometStudios]

god damn 1:50 in and he FINALLY begins to think of playing -.-'

[Xavyer13]

the brand looks like it says f u cks jajaja

[Andarregar]

stop the talking, just play

what people want to hear is the "gear" not your voice...

[madeinquebec]

If you've been reading Guitar World and watched these vids before, this is how they do it... everytime. Just slide the slider if you're not interested in features, boys.

[Andarregar]

i've been reading guitar world mag old man,

just make it sort, that's why the views only a few for a world class mag, not like others

[madeinquebec]

The View count? They just put the video up like 24 hrs ago, and nobody (but you) care about view counts. If you don't like these videos, why don't you make some? We'll gladly whine like a douche on your comments section. G'day "son".

[Mattubic090]

Muy buen ampli, muy buena guitarra, este wm toca bien la guitarra pero es mas gay q la cresta!

[TMSierra]

it looks like fucks lol

[DeathPenguin1000]

LOL yeah holy crap :P

[mrevolutions23]

awesome! love the sound, i really like that u hear evry note not just the overall chord as a whole but each individual note!

[AraGuitar]

crunchy sounding, i like it

[JerkyChid]

For years I thought the company was Fucks

[CiviC092]

lol

it was Fuchs since they came out

[JerkyChid]

You see, the first time I ever saw one of their amps, it was on a used head that had seen better days with a logo cracked in a few places; hence my confusion.

[ibanezxiphos700]

u mean when you sound out fuchs? or you thought it was spelled that way

[edubchrist]

Scooped mids=no

[JerkyChid]

Exactly, If you scoop your mids to play metal, you don't know how to play metal and EQ your amp

[JerkyChid]

I was downthumbed by a noob that doesn't know how to EQ lol

[ddontforgett]

yeah haha, scooped mids are way past there prime

[jro3030]

A charvel with humbuckers??? The only thing strat about this guitar is it's body shape. it has nothing to do with determining if it's a good metal guitar or not.

[NoiseFieldBand]

its a charvel, so its a strat body with a metal settingg

[mjwoodworth]

Dude, it's a Charvel with presumeably DiMarzio pickups, in the 80's people like Van Halen would've said you don't get more metal than that!

[JerkyChid]

But in the 80s the only metal people like Van Halen knew was the metal of a can of hairspray lol

[phrydoom]

You are right, it's the SoCal with ToneZone/ Evolution pickups. It's more a late 80s Vai-style Charvel, kinda like the ones he had during his stint with DLR.

[silentboy85]

that is not strat

[phrydoom]

It's a SoCal Charvel with a ToneZone and and Evolution humbucker. They are pretty new guitars and they are well worth the money.

[chechoguitar112]

does the amp sounds that great???? or this sound has any proccess??

[d0nny2600]

Paul plays guitar for a living. So Im sure he doesn't give a shit if you like his playing or not.

[MrPintGlass]

this guy is good, but he has no idea about metal riffs, solos yes, riffs, hell no.
