it's made in China... Quality build & sounds but not wallet busting price. that would all change if for one reason or other, they had to be built in the USA or Europe ...

"Now let's open up the amp." Me: Alright! He's going to really crank the amp now! Darrell: *literally opens up the back of the amp*

14:01 As someone who spent a decent amount of my head stuck into tube amps and old radios, I can say just from the looks that this is very well built. Solder joints look flawless, they use the right tin at the right temperature and the whole component arrangement is a beautiful hommage to past times when there were no PCBs at all.I personally would have put some more autism into the wire shaping around the tube sockets, but that's just me who never had to produce stuff at a volume.

The whole name thing is silly. Wang is the most common name in China. Just think of it as, say, Johnson. No, ... wait.

From a tech standpoint: point-to-point wiring and ceramic sockets are classic design from the earliest days of amplifiers. Off to a great start. Can't say more without schematic, but looks good.

Love it when you bring the off brand stuff to us, especially when it’s toward the lower end of the price spectrum. This head could definitely end up on my goodies list. Thanks for another fantastic vid.

Thank you Darrell. This was an excellent video! I can totally respect these amps after learning a bit about the company’s history. They totally rock! It’s just the right amount of old school grit. I will definitely consider one of their tube amps!

It is a JCM 800 They also do a 1987 which is a Plexi very tight to the original spec.

Thanks for introducing us to this company Darrell! Never had heard of them, but this is incredible for hand-wired stuff!

Thank you for covering this man. I bought a Wangs HD15, and it was absolutely amazing.

Great video review of a great amp! I would also like to mention that I especially appreciated your detailed analysis of the amps chassis and circuit board respectively.

Awesome review! The gutshot: design is insane! Looks like its easy to repair and inspect. Good workmanship. Versatile enough to shape your own tone.

That amp is a revelation. Great tones in that thing. Will be check out further. Thanks for turning us on.

Nice demo, as usual, Darrell. I agree - it has excellent tone, and the "gut shot" was pretty amazing. I don't have anything in my whole house, I don't think, that's wired that cleanly. I already have more amps and guitars than I need, but it's always interesting to hear and see new products as they come on the market.

Awesome, I just received my Wang amp and I will have a review up soon. There is a FB channel for Wang amps, please contact Jeff Kalish for the amps as he is the North American rep for them.

This is closer to a Fender Bassman than the newer Marshals. The Plexi being the closet to a Bassman. The clean tone at it's best is the Plexi to forward.

That's why I definitely give you the props! Showcasing the products that have effective use and doing justice to them, all along with the good price! Great showcase indeed!

Thanks, Darrell. This made me curious about their amps. You need to go to their site and read the description for the HD15H. It's pretty funny. But, it sounds like it's right up my alley and priced very well. I might have to buy one so I can spend all day in my room, playing with my Wangs! Have a good one.

That's pretty cool D! Helpful to many and thanks for sharing brother! Be Well!

Darrell, It's a very cool well made amp, Nice presentation and playing bro !

Great demo Darrell!

saw this review aboot when it came out. was very impressed. i am neither very good nor well off, but i kept an eye on their website. they make two small heads, one watt and five watt. about a year ago i scored the 5w at a slight price drop and just love it. having b/m/t EQ with the bright/warm switch with a choice of a tube or diode rectifier gives you such different feeling sounds ! plays well with every pedal and guitar i have used with it. five watts does not sound like much, but this big little wAng has so much volume i had to get an attenuator to keep from being evicted... thanks DB, you are such a help to this old newbie.

@Annunaki_0517

8 ай бұрын

Most people don’t realize that 5w is PLENTY of power. The way wattage relates to volume is not linear but rather logarithmic, so in order to have an amp that’s twice as loud you’d need 50w. That’s why most people say that a dimed 50w Plexi is too loud to play in the same room. I’m sure your 5w little Plexi sounds great and gives you great tone at a volume you can play in your house without the neighbors calling the cops. Remember, Layla was recorded with a 5w amp (a tweed Fender Champ).

I didn't think much of that o/d tone, but that CLEAN! JUST how you'd WANT a clean valve amp TO sound! The way AROUND the 'channel' switching would be to use an A/B/Y pedal, plug into both and switch between the 2 to get your clean/dirty!

@Stashmanfpv

2 жыл бұрын

The input circuits aren’t designed that way. Plugging into both inputs and using an ABY pedal doesn’t switch to hi, or low channels, or channel switching as you’d mentioned. I wish it did, as I tried this already and after speaking with factory, it unfortunately doesn’t work like that… ✌🏼

@DMSProduktions

@@Stashmanfpv Ok, thanks! The sockets are probably LINKED before the padding circuit! You could probably rewire it so both inputs are seaparate from each other, then an ABY pedal would work with it! Thanks for the info!

I've had a Wangs VT50-H for 5 years and it's amazing!

Cracking tone with that guitar and amp combo Darrell

“Slap Like, if you like Wangs” His face is the best.. It’s so cool. Thanks bro.

I’ve had one of those Wangs 2204 heads for about 8 months. It’s my go to Marshall sound. About a year and a half ago I tried the 5 watt Mini 5 head and was so impressed I got their OD-30 a few months later. They’re not expensive considering their quality and put the comparable Asian built amps by Western brands to shame. They are definitely in the league of the Western brand’s domestically produced high end gear.

I think it sounded great. I must love that 70's Marshall sound.

I know this is an older video but I've Been considering trying to get one of these. THANK YOU for the gutshot. I can't honestly see any any shortcuts. Sockets mounted to the chassis instead of the pcb, ac heaters coiled and moved away from the tubes. These folks really paid attention to detail. Slightly curious about the pcb near the power/standby switches. Your demo has properly sold me & added a new subscriber.

Beautiful point to point!

Great video Darrell! Nice amp!

Sound amazing,thanks for the demo..

Wow, great cleans! Nice grind too but those cleans are stunning. Dirty is really in Malcolm Young territory. Something I would have liked to hear is how it cleans up in the high input with the preamp turned up- as a single channel amp made to be like the Marshall, most players of that era would crank their amps and just turn the guitar volume down for clean parts.

I love the name, and the amp sounds fabulous , a great pedal platform

From Leo: The build quality detail is impressive. A believe a Sovtek 50 is a very similar circuit. I wonder how the tone stacks up. Thanks for the demonstration.

Hey Darrell, great playing , love your videos man . Hey I had a about ur opinion on this amp now that you have had it for little more than a year

Darrell, you are a Gem and so is this amp! I am using the link right now!!

God this amp sounds GREAT! Bet it would be a KILLER pedal platform. Then came 9:54! Darrell really did have me covered. :D

that amp looks so damn well build! for the money a no brainer!

I have their 1 watt version and LOVE it.

Seriously, go to their website and check out the HD-15 H's product description. It's amazing!

That is sweet sounding. Looks great too.

I used to watch your channel when you were just doing performance pieces. And I really enjoyed that. Because you're an awesome player. Then you switched to doing demo's. And I thought, oh my Another guy doing demos. But I have to say, Your demos are better than most on KZread I really love your channel.

Guns and Guitars did a review of the tiny all-tube 5watt and 1watt amp head. Those things are incredible for the money

Yep, if ya google black wangs vs White wangs you can get comprehensive detail oriented comparisons. 😀 of course, depending on user's experience, skill level, additiinal equipment and accessories brought to the table. (Or bedrroom/location of choice.)

Omg it sounds awesome and affordable

I liked seeing that nice wiring.

Excellent demo

Hi Darrell. I'm glad you gave a test to the Wangs series. I have the 5W model modded to a custom made 1x12 cab with a Celestion Alnico Blue and it sound phenomenal! I wonder what the differences are between the 2204HW and the 1987HW but nontheless they are build with awesome quality components and give tonz of tone :P Keep it up man

I plugged into the Wang(wong) amp at the gig last night and it sounded fantastic.

Sounds fantastic in clean. Didn't care much for the distortion, but maybe thats because I like heavier modern metal type of distortion.

Those solder joints are cleaner than mine! Well done!

I dont even play guitar, but i love all of these reviews! Keep it up!

I started importing these things into Australia 8 years ago - plenty of us know about them mate.

It sounds amazing jimi Hendrix tone nailed

Great demo of a really nice looking/sounding amp. How would it have sounded with the master cranked and the volume kept low to manage the preamp gain? Hope I didn't miss this is you included it in the video!

I love these videos bc I need a good new amp and this is perfect and at a better price

Hi Darrell What about the 15Watt model used at home is it so nice, like the big brother you show us in this channel ??

Darrell should have mentioned that tube amp's filter caps should always be discharged before prodding inside the amps, as they can store lethal voltages that can literally kill you! NEVER open up a tube amp and start touching things inside if you don't discharge the caps first, or you're literally risking your life!

I think this is the first time I've seen your face as you played. I love your channel and this reminds me of the sound that I got from my 1960's Fender Princeton Reverb. BTW, where can I get the 3 Humbucker SG? (Wasn't it called a Les Paul back then)

Not obscure to me. I have a 2204HW. I freakin' love it. I also have a Week 21 SG-3 similar to yours.

Biyang / Wang's 🤔 Got a sticker with my pedals, put it on my amp. "Wang's" 😂 No doubt - they are really good at what they do at the plant. The new:ish "live" pedal/module-system is ingenious.
