God Damn, made me buy a leviathan . thanks for the review .Good as always

Now THAT is a guitar tone, my goodness! So thick yet clear. I've never heard of this company but I am very interested in this amp. I dig it over my EVH 5150iii.

It kinda feels 5150ish but faster and with more headroom

Could listen to you playing solo all day!! Always such a fanstastically mysterious sound..

Not only the amp is sounding massive, but gosh that playing in the end of the video was so pissed of and crazy, John you're a freakin monster

Hands down one of the best sounding amps you had on the channel!! Thanks for the video man🙌

Haven’t been so surprised and pleased with a sound in a while. This video has left me excited! I need one!

Awesome amp. Awesome riffs. Awesome to see the 7 string get some airtime on a gear demo. Cheers Browne, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

What a beast. Feels like you can really dig in these tones and find all sorts of sweet spots while playing

10000% my next amp purchase. Thanks for the demonstration, John. Love the videos and glad to see you back!

I was searching for a new amp, thanks John for helping me find it. I NEED this in my life!!!

Try a Omega Granophyre or a MLC Subzero 93 Silenoz too! 😁

!man that really is an amazing piece of craftsmanship, thanks for sharing!

Garden of Sankhara!! One of my favorites off one of my favorite albums of all time. You could hang that album on your neck like a medallion. Pure gold. Wonderful sounding amp as well! Very thick but clean and articulate. Thanks for another sick video. Keep on keepin on! 🤙🤙🤙

Still coming back to this video. Arguably one of the fullest sounding heads I've heard in years. Can't wait to try one on my B2.

It’s so Crisp and sharp/clean on hi gain settings, it’s truly inspiring.

John, thank you once again, for bringing the best amps up to the front, playing them how they should be played. There reminds me, totally of 5150. We just blows you away without using any overdrive. This amp has that same vibe. Thank you for demonstrating.

AMAZING sound loud and clear as I love!! What a tool!! Goddess your riffs are deep 🔥🔱🫶

That's some serious compression. Absolutely mad. And the case!? Utterly wicked!!

sounds absolutely destructive, I dig it!

13:42 - the feeling every amp tweaker fiends for

drive that with an eq pedal for solos, and its all i would need for sure...soundin great man, thx for the video

That clean sound, holy crap.

Sounds awesome (both amp & player). Nuff said.

Awesome John

Sounds thick and heavy. Can't wait to get mine

11:11 Garden of Sankhara was one of the first Monument's songs that I ever listened to, it was a nice surprise to get a little of that song in this video

Some crushing sounds right there. I love it!

I will get my hands on one of that Leviathan Amps next year and I'm absolutly stoked about that thing!! I saw and tried this amp in summer this year at a local music shop and fell in love right after looking at it. That tight and aggressiv gain is exactly what I was looking for for so long. But the price is not that low... so I had to sell some gear I don't really use and it never felt so good to sell something!! Great demo!!! 🤘🤩

Reminds me of Keith Merrow's modded 5150, which is an amazing thing. Italian boutique amps are putting out some amazing stuff

Awesome and the second channel sounds monstrous

Holy shit that amp sounds as awesome as it looks!! What a piece of artwork! Love Steampunk and he’s made a phenomenal job on that amp! You lucky bugger!! 🤘🤘

Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻 Incredible sounding!🔥⚡🔥

Love that Adam Jones like clean crunch meaty and twangy at the same time, huge sounding

That thing looks and sounds unreal! Want. I need a KT88 amp in my life.

I had the pleasure to met Luca and he gave me a duality 100 to record an EP !!!But after watching your demo I want this amp too the first channel on the 7 is fucking bonkers!!!!!!!!!

My word this is absolutely beautiful.

Watched this video twice now. Focused on the tone first which was fucking sick. Tried hunting for M4 riffs on the second go and trying to ponder if we gonna hear any of these in M4. Did notice the old riffs too here and there. Fucking sick ahaha!!!

This thing sounds killer.

Massive!

Now imagine an 8 strings added to the chain.

Missed opportunity to play leviathan

Very dark sounding amp but it’s got a cool character. I actually preferred it with the split coil crunch tones

Not that the guitars needed it, but the camera/lighting is REALLY doin them justice

Really digging the split neck tone, sounds evil when chords ring out.

Sounds great dude. I can't help but think that the 6 Mayones is just a great sounding guitar anyways. Sounds tight.

sounds nice just like Mezzabarba the Italians are making some killer amps

John you could make an amp made of Pure Fricker Poo sound amazing.. Can there be and IR of your Style lol ???

John what happened please make more videos, I miss your videos!

Shit mate! Sounds killer!

2:48 is so good

How would you say this compared to an Ultralead? I absolutely adore the UL and would love something that has that level of aggression and tightness but with some more modern features and this seems to have that sort of anger, depth, clarity and fullness without the harshness, fizz, honk or flub many amps come with.

Italian stuff... fuckin' great.

I'm actually surprised that my country make something so wild after a very long time, it sounds like an Armageddon coming 😍 I love it

Wow. One of the very few amps you'll hear that runs cleans along side distorted signal. Brilliant. In your DAW, dial in a clean fat tone with zero clipping, unless it's natural from the pickups. Next dial in a saturated tone. Now mix and match to taste. My opinion is that this sort of tone works best for either highly technical or complex chords. Darken it up a lot, both clean and saturated, and you have a lush slow rhythm sound, especially if you add delay and chorus on the clean.

Aye J Bro, be super tiiiiiiight if you could somehow make some Neural DSP quad cortex captures of this historic creature.

Now you've used the Revv Generator 120 mk3, which would you chose between this and the Revv?

I wanna hear anything by Omega Amp Works like Granophyre or a MLC Subzero 93 Silenoz signature amp. 😁🤘

Hey John, what picks do you typically gravitate towards?

Hi John, is there much difference between the Leviathan and the Bogner Ubershall?

John if you ever read this, where can I get a desktop pedalboard like that?

Crystal top end🤤

2:35 where are those riffs from?! they sound solid! i must know its source material! Please and thank you obviously!

The clarity of that amp is completely off the rails. Yet still massive and huge sounding. Dare I ask the price of the non steampunk base model???

You can get the same sound by sticking a Rat pedal in front of any amp.

I mean.. over here in the UK, the Mesa Badlander 50 head starts at the pounds sterling equivalent of $2700. For a mass produced amp head that is nearly $700 cheaper in the US. Of course an Italian handmade boutique amplifier will break $3000 in the US.
