    Like most of us gear junkies, I’ve listened to a zillion vids of Amos and whatnot. All subjective of course but this is the best sound I can recall hearing on UA-cam. Wasn’t planning on getting this but have to go after it after hearing this.

    I just found out about your music via the Music Man signature ads, and I went and listened to a few of your songs. Really great stuff. I don’t listen to as much heavy music as much as I used to, but this stuff is so melodic and musical, very chill. Subscribed!

    Crystal clear sound! Hey dude, please tell us how organized grounding in your studios. You always have a very clean sound with no interference. And new tours of your studios would be nice to see too! Thanks in advance!!! And maybe someone else knows whether a DI Box (passive or active) for example Radial J48 or other, can help reduce noise & interference? Thank you in advance!!!

    the idea is to blend the channels and create the eq that way, one bright and one dark channel. Surprised you didn't try this, but otherwise excellent tones!

    Damned- just when I thought I had made up my mind to go with the new Lion 68- I find the Dream. I have an MX5 already, and tbh it does a decent Marshal thing- but it misses the black faced fender thing pretty badly. The Dream nails it though- and with that Dumble style mod- it sounds great. Idk though- the Lion has some pretty good clean tones in it as well- and it does the whole Hendrix thing. That said- I suck at the Hendrix thing so... hmmm, I don't know, this will require another day or two of mulling over in my head, I think. The truth is that my style probably fits the Marshal better- but I'm trying to change that.

  • @bobo19910
    @bobo19910 День тому

    Sounds great. The lack of effects loop writes this off as a gigging amp for me. As a studio tool, you could have two original (used) plexis for that price, or reissues. With a pedal or two there’s nothing here the Smallbox can’t do with the advantage of footswitchable channels and effects loop

    • @RabeaMassaad
      @RabeaMassaad День тому

      I agree on the FX loop. For me I need an FX loop for live and generally for the tones I like to get with FX. BUT, this amp sounds insane in the room, it’s a real experience. Also the thing with the design of a plexi amp means you just couldn’t put an FX loop in it and achieve the sound this amp inherently has. Due to the vintage design topology of the Plex, the distortion is mainly from the phase inverter which is part of the poweramp. FX loop would be before the poweramp and so for before the distortion… would be useless in a sense, would be the same as sticking FX before the amplifier, which was done back in the day.

    • @bobo19910
      @bobo19910 День тому

      Undeniably an amazing sound! I’m just a sucker for the Smallbox. The PLEX is covering ground between the Smallbox and an original plexi, which for me is a very, very small gap. Great job with this vid, the best mic’d sounds on UA-cam as always!

    • @vinnyguerriero5150
      @vinnyguerriero5150 День тому
