A great review, Jackson. That covers lots of tonal options. I can attest to the quality of Emprize Amps, I possess a "Helmsley," a glorious thing 👌

Nice review. I have this amp, albeit with a 6L6 power section which I requested on order. Although 22 watts should be plenty loud enough with an efficient speaker, I just wanted the bigger Fender Vibrolux/Vibroverb vibe and increased headroom. I’ve gigged it quite a bit now and it sounds great, just a beautiful clean pedal platform. The trem throbs and the reverb is just right. Build is impeccable. Nice and light as well.

is it better then the victory v40?

Basically Tone King Imperial but without Attenuator? :)

Looks pretty much so. I own an Imperial MkII and it is a FANTASTIC amp. Still, this amp looks (and sounds) pretty amazing.

Came here to say this. Although the Lead channel on TK is supposed to be more like a Tweed than a Brown. But yeah, overall feature set and layout is more than a bit similar. And no attenuator.

I have my pops vibralix it's not to bad of an amp with his old gliiderd gretcu

Looks good but the whole time wondering why there isn’t a $90 sm57 available to mic it .. or just record it with the sm7b that you’re talking through while playing with headphones??? Too bad there are no actual sound samples to show off this very expensive fender killer. Got me though and went to the site!

Good one

Yeh, these appear to be very sweet amps.

Hate to be that guy but it’s handwired not PTP. Great sounding amp.

I have a deluxe reverb , but I prefer to use my Twin Reverb 2 , and Twin Reverb in stereo.

point to point means no tag board. real point to point is messy

Great sounding amp but no master control? Why?

different overall sound, that's why a legit attenuator is needed. otherwise most players use od pedal which defeats the purpose of buying such a sweet amp

It makes sense to use a low-powered amp for six-string guitar. You don't need loud for the studio; for stage work, the FOH does the heavy lifting so a guitar amp really only needs to function as a personal instrument monitor and to send a feed to the board. Time was a guitar amp had to be its own mains, hence Leo Fender's insistence on "tremendous distortionless power". Haven't needed that much headroom in decades for six-string. Pedal steel and bass do need more headroom but that's a different situation.

Agreed. However, why would a pedal steel need more power? I understand bass needs more. Honest question as I genuinely do not know anything about pedal steels. Thanks

@@ptomo66Thanks for inquiring! Most steel players want zero distortion or overdrive, plus there are innumerable "sliding" notes, both from moving the bar and working the pedals and knee levers. In addition all doubleneck and 12 string steels have considerably greater range than a six string. Keeping all of that clean takes up a lot of headroom. I've seen steel players use Deluxe-Reverbs but all were in very low-volume situations. My favorite steel-amp rigs are a Twin-Reverb head-cab with a 2-12 (D120Fs) Bassman bottom or a Milkman PS-300. But if I were going to do a new-country lead guitar situation I'd want to get hands on the Emprize in the vid!

Sounds fantastic tho a tad expensive for me

£2200 buys you two very nice Fender amps or a Fender and a Marshall solid state or tubes. Nice looking and sounding amp but who's buying this at this price?

@menamestom

Both the Fender and Marshall will be built to a price point, cheap caps, so so PCB. I had a Princeton Reverb reissue, lovely sounding amp but eventually blew up and needed major surgery including PCB. This amp is a world apart, far more serviceable for reliability and longevity.

The attack time on your Limiter is so annoying, itˋs hard to listen to…sadly…😢

20w is super loud if you want break up

If this amp is so good, can you name some pros that are using it.
