Very cool. I'm sure that was a lot of work pulling that together. Wish I could have been there.

I liked the 50w Marshalls the best followed by your Ocean


(tried to embed but no bueno)

Thanks man. How’d you get the video is embed? I tried everything.

It was a little confusing as the youtube code was much longer than normal but is usually the first 10 or so characters of the code I think (up to the '&'). If you click quote on my post you should be able to see.

(not sure but the code you used here was possibly one you used for facebook maybe)

Thanks I didn't;t film that day. I was pretty fried from a long few weeks and just wanted to run protools. We are gonna be doing these regularly and will film.

Great, always loved your shootout vids man!

Good work

Honestly, they all sound like they could be the same amp just with different EQ settings. That's not meant to be a backhanded comment. We tend to obsess over all the minutia but any one of those amps will get the job done. I liked the stock '72 Marshall JMP 50 the most.

Yup, that sounded good, I also liked the Wizard a lot. I would like to hear more of the Larry, always hear about how epic they supposedly sound, I want to hear more. Thanks for making the video!

After a quick listen ,
Liked the Larry, seemed to have a lot of nice harmonic content , nice and warm.
But I liked the 100w JMP the most, bright clear and cutting.

Bet they would blend well.

Very cool. I liked the Jose, and your Ocean, and the ...well most of them.

The metro, bstar and Rivera didnt blow me away.

So, did you guys just set stuff at noon or agree on what sounded the best? Just curious.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for doing this James
Most of the amps sounded really good, but I think the Wizard / Greenbacks was my fave in this go-round.
I will mention that the sound of your Cameron Ocean from one of the amp fests a few years back still haunts me. That amp sounds just killer dialed in for the heavies
It was my second fave here, but this was a bit of a different vibe.
I'm also curious as to how you guys decided about dialing each amp in.
Everything at noon? or dialed to taste per amp?
Thanks!
