Has anyone heard of Wangs amps? It's an amp company from China and they are built by their small family-run company of about 15 employees. All the amps are made by hand with a lot of care basically but the price tags are attractive!

So I got my HD-15 amp a while ago and I've been enjoying the amp quite a bit. The clean/crunch channel is supposedly based on a Bogner Shive type sound and the drive channel on a Soldano. So the clean channel is nice and bright and with the crunch switch you can push it up to british rock gain levels, quite cool! The drive channel has a very fat distortion character, quite unique! This is also my only amp currently that has 6V6 power tubes. I love my EL84 amps but these 6V6 tubes seem to work well with low-wattage amps also.

Eventhough this is the most high-gain amp from Wangs, it's not a super tight and aggressive amp by default. With a boost it sure gets a lot tighter. In a way this amp kinda reminds me of an 'American' sounding Orange. So like a blend between a Mesa and an Orange in a way. Great for rock and doom stuff. That's what makes the amp sound so cool and unique though. I can't wait to try my mud-killer pedal through it to be honest! Should be great!

The Wangs 2204 amps also look really cool, it's basically a 50w JCM800 clone. I really want to have one of those as I've come to really love my Marshall SC20H Studio JCM800. Has anyone ever tried one of these amps? Just curious about your thoughts...

Of course I made a little demo/review of the HD-15. Just to talk about the features a bit and demonstrate some sounds:



I'd love to know your thoughts! And since it's such a boutique company it would be cool to hear if anyone else here has any experience with these amps...
 
Sounds pretty good to me! Awesome tones for a great price. Sounds like it isn't as tight as a 2204 or as crisp on the top end? So not sure how I would like it in a room but the clips and production sound great.

The clean and crunch modes can get very bright and crisp, especially with the bright switch on but the drive channel has a very thick saturated tone, not very tight and bright but that's what I love about it. It's great for alternative rock and stuff like stoner-rock by default but a good boost can certainly make it sounds more tight if needed.
 
I want me a big black Wangs........just sayin......
 
seriously....video was most excellent. and rarceny is a fewony....
 
1. Does one simply plug their Wang into any receptacle, or should one use discretion and ensure a clean source

2. Is it okay to let people see your Wang on stage? Can you show it off?

3. What do you say if your buddy ask to play with your Wang?

Me too, though a medium sized head is all I could actually probably handle (space is tight).



Edit - On second thought, I've had lots of black heads over the years. I wonder if they come in creme?

What if every time you start playing with your Wang, your neighbors tell you to keep it down?

I love your demos, BTW. Especially the L6 Helix Badonk video you did, "metal tone". Sounded absolutely killer.

However, I wish people would demo real amps through real cabs, vs. IR's. It IT'S. sounds scratchy and fizzy to my ears, and I can't stand them. No matter how good they are, they seem to ruin it for me. Always have that "processed" sound.

The SC20H has been on my radar for quite some time. Just can't decide between it, and another 2525H. I loved that amp.
