Hear, hear! In fact, off the back of Danish Pete's video of picking up his Rift amp, I submitted a question on the Rift website about some component choices they described there. Got back a very thoughtful, sensible, informative reply from Chris Fantana. Respect!

For me Lee and Pete do a better job than That Pedal Show who have personal opinions for semi pro guitarists. Here you get a professional player and a shop who wont stock stuff unless it is good and tracks buyers wishes

Leaving a comment so i can find it when i come home :)

It has taken me 3 attempts to get through this video. Not because it's boring, but because I have no ability to stay awake for much more than 15 mins once in a dark room and I look at these before bed. Great video. Informative and entertaining. Chris seems a very likeable chap and his product sounds incredible. Great work all round.

I was fortunate enough to play one of Aynsley's rift amps (before the sig was out) at a guitar weekend and what really blew me away was how sweet it sounded whatever guitar was plugged in. Teles, Strats, LPs, PRS, anything they all sounder killer. Wonderful amps that bring the best out of your instrument.

What a lovely, down to earth guy Chris is. A great player as well. I love the Rift amps and hope to have one like Aynsley Lister plays when I'm a bit better off. That amp is so perfect for a blues player. No need for pedals.

They just sound marvelous . just wish I could afford one

Loved this big time. Inspirational stuff, heard about Rift from a friend a little while ago who uses a Tweed model as one of his test amps whilst building awesome pickups and was very impressed. Love the fact the brand is growing and offering some awesome 'new' designs now as well as classics - thanks for stocking them

50:48 Yesss, Thank you very much for coming in, good luck,(does not hand back the guitar) really appreciate a good gift when i get one...make sure to take some T shirts and mugs on the way out...bye bye ciao...

I would like to see the captain meets lee anderton

Brilliant! i could listen to knowledgeable people talk about old amps all day. Great video, looks like a great product.

Beautiful sounding. The reverb built-in is also exceptional.

Beautiful guitars, beautiful playing!

That intro was just gorgeous... Cool amps, cool dude, cool video. Cheers, guys

Man, I listen to all your videos with a Bose speaker and the sound of these amps are so great. Real gear is so out of my range just wish I could play through something that cool.

What a nice guy ... so unpretentious about what he does.

Another great video! Looking forward tying out a Rift Amp! I reckon Lee and Chris will be as passionate when they are 80! Lee is such a top bloke and Chris comes across a diamond geezer!

Wonderful interview, please keep doing them like this!

The most down to earth guest ever. Might have to splash out on one of his amps.

GEEZ ID CHARGE $45 + PARTS! Started in 92 inn Atlanta Ga, had Navy Electronics training, ( retired n 95) still waiting for my big day, congrats man!

Just a thought: maybe someday you could do a The Captain Meets... with Ben Crowe. I know Anderton's doesn't carry Crimson guitars, but it would cool to have Lee sit down with a boutique guitar builder.

just started watching this (less than a minute) and I have to say to "Captain Lee" that your playing has really picked up! Your recent lessons and your effort at actually learning them has REALLY been paying off. Great playing my friend.

Lee's solo in the intro may be one of my favorites from him! Great tone and feel!

Must be skilled if you have fanta in your name

Only 1:10 in and had to comment.. Lee your playing is coming on massively.. Great note choices man

Can’t believe you didn’t sign off with searing riffy version of twinkle twinkle little star!

I happily watched this whole thing and was pleased to learn how power scaling works! More nerdy stuff, please! On the subject of good tone at low volume, my dad has an 80s Mesa SOB with an attenuator, and MY GOODNESS. I've heard people say disparaging things about the attenuated tone of that amp, but I disagree. That thing sounds phenomenal

Lovin your leads lately Captain

Great to see that England still has some true craftsmen continuing many 100’s of years tradition.

Loved the show

Nice video, great conceptual designs, informative and the Rift guitar is spankin!!

Great video, great amps! The Aynsley amp sounded stellar at the guitar show :-)

Chris what about an all NPN transistor power amp with with a long tailed pair based on BC182L driving 10x IRF250 MOSFETs in the output stage operating in the 200w power range driving a 12" speaker just a suggestion for an addition to your range.

Good stuff!

How refreshing to hear an amp builder say use modelling amps for low volume. I would also add modelling or plugins for recording is also easier for guitar. I mic up cabinets, use 12mtk recording 12 tracks, but quite frankly using S-gear or UA plugins is just as good! Many venues now do not allow big amps or volume so its harder to go beyond 90db

These sound great. Andertons should also check out Andy Smith and Honeyboy amps. Hand built in Scotland and the most amazing custom coverings and great sounding amps.

Would be interesting to find out what electronics qualification Chris undertook in order to help him on the way. I am interested in amp kits myself. Great story of a guy starting at the bottom of the ladder to become the maker of one of the greatest sounding amps available.

That Ainsley signature sounds amazing! Put one more switchable gain stage in there and it would be the perfect amp for any player from country to hard rock.

I would like to ask Chris what kind of course he had to do in electonics to be able to get where he is. Or did he self study?

@Captain: when you record your "quicky" videos on facebook, is that just the smartphone mic picking up room sound or does the PR6 have a line-out/headphone jack?

was listening while writing an essay and literally got jumpscared by the lightning strike :DD Don't know why though...

He might not charge much for a repair....but the British handmade Amps are very expensive....very high quality....could we get the prices down.....even handmade hardwired Marshalls are the price of a second hand car.....Lee would you please try and get Yngwie Malmsteen on please....just Yngwie and a massive back line of Marshalls....more is more....

The Captain and the Pwerple Dane meets Marcus King. He’s coming to the UK in June. Make it happen.

Cool guy and great sounding amps. They aren't cheap, but then neither is having one shipped to me. Lol

I heard they found a guy living in New Jersey who's not making his own line of boutique amplifiers. But I don't believe it.

Can you imagine the amount of luck involved in this... "I make guitar amplifiers and it's time for me to try to get into a music retail store" *knock knock knock* "hello there, I'm Captain Lee from Anderson's Music randomly dropping into your she'd to check out your amplifiers".

So The Captain gets a copy of "I Spy" Electronics for christmas and turns into Michael Faraday on speed. Great very informative video though, keep up the good work

The fender clones aren't too expensive. I'm not sure about the British copies, but I'm sure since they're handwired and done by a smaller company it'll be more expensive than Marshalls reissues.

Right. I heard that, but he talked about how the idea of a rift-sawn top fitted with how he saw what he was doing with the company, and named it the rift burst. So I was asking if he named the company after the guitar, or if it was just a coincidence. Otherwise, why name the amp company rift? Maybe lyao...

2012 he built his first kit, 2013 he gives up his job and start his 'amp company'... still building Fender clones. He learned everything off the internet but says "everything is in the old military handbooks". Who isn't copying Princeton Reverbs with 12"? "I have trouble getting the transformers wound" --> yeah, because all boutique builders are ordering it too.

Depends on what you're into. The Roland JC-22 or the bigger JC-40 have beautiful clean tones or for a more bluesy rock sound you could go to a Blackstar HT5R Mkii. You also can't go wrong with a Fender Bluesbreaker 15 combo. Basically 600 quid will get you a lot of amplifier.

The store makes a lot of money from the success of these videos. Adding five (5) ads from external companies so you can make more money too is just too many. One or two, ok, but don't take piss.

It's all very incestuous in the online music world now isn't it? Everyone scratching everyone else's back really hard.
