Hey Guys,
Late in 2021, I placed an order with Jason Tong ( @burger ) for a Headfirst Cali 50w. I got it in January and have been playing around with it for a few months, and I am really loving this amp.
Jason's headfirst (see what I did there?) dive into diode-clipping yields a ton of great sounds. Everything from classic Plexi tones to Cantrell-style saturation live in this amp, and with a clean channel, excellent master volume, and simple footswitch the amp is gig-friendly, too. The Cali has become one of my go-to amps that I keep coming back to time and time again when I need a juiced up classic Marshall-inspired sound that's a little brighter and gnarlier than my Friedmans.
My YouTube channel is very small and I don't have a ton of content but I thought this amp was worthy of making a review video. If you've seen any of my videos before, then you know that I don't really do knob-turning review videos. It's more of me talking about the amp, giving my thoughts, opinions, and criticism. Kind of a "fireside chat" sort of vibe. I apologize for the sloppy playing, it was super hot in the room and my fingers kept slipping around. Either way, I hope you enjoy! Cheers on a job well done, Jason!
PS - This is not a paid video or promotion of any kind. I'm doing this because *I* want to, not because Jason asked me. Jason did not offer me any discounts or anything of any kind. I paid full price for this amp and paid with my own money. I don't care about making money off YouTube.
