    If I could have done that with my ex gfs I would have been a happy man. 😂 Completely forgot about these having the contour control. But, I bought a really nice Valvestate for the price of the pedal so, I'll get by. It's a VS100, not an 8100, but it's close enough. It did come with the original footswitch. No box though. Lolol Nice demo. I hope your channel grows.

    This amp scared the hell out of me! Bought it about 2 years ago. Had been playing Katana 112s for a while and was tired of them. Wanted something basic that I could just plug and play. Unboxed this amp. (I got the black version too) Plugged in with the volume at maybe 3 or so. Strummed the strings a couple times. Strummed a couple chords. Then I did a quick down up hitting it hard and I just about fell out of my damn chair. It got LOUD! lol The Katanas were 100w, and of course they would get loud, but there was no touch response like this thing. Never regretted selling them at all.

    @PedalJunkie2 күн бұрын

    Haha nice story! Thanks for sharing. Yes, they get incredibly loud. I never owned a Katana, only tried the 50w mk1 version once while it stood in the rehearsal room. I think they sound very good, but I was never interested in actually buying one for myself.

    Yes finally someone saw the potential this thing had! I found one really cheap on marketplace and fell in love with it! then i found out Wayne also used it so now its my Nu metal and 80s shredder backup for gigs and home jams. Dont know why people bash it. Its very versatile for gigs and if you want to mess at home this head will get your sound. Honestly the best solid amp I have and its a keeper for me.

    I use this amp stack and a Tube Screamer, with a Behringer Graphic EQ in the FX loop. Pretty solid tone, can get pretty similar to a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV with enough dialing in. I love it. Just lookin to get a cheap(ish) tube amp to slave into it for that pure tube tone, maybe a Peavey 6505 Micro or an Engl Fireball 25, but I ultimately want a Mesa/Boogie Mark V 25W.

    Nice video, mate! I recommend to check out the Joyo High Gain Distortion (the one with the skull and crossbones). It's a Shredmaster clone with the bass fixed at 3 o'clock and boosted treble. Also, it can be easily modded to add the bass control back and tame the extra treble, if you need. I have one and I like it a lot. Cheers from Brazil!

    One thing he forgot to mention when using a noise gate is, you want find the right spot. Too little will give a little feedback, but too much will kill your high ends, especially if your a guitarist that plays leads you will immediately notice when shredding that it sounds like it's cutting off when playing the high notes. So what you want to do, is meet it halfway.

    Awesome job! The talking part was great and the playing part was a great metal demo showing the capabilities of the Shredmaster. As I said before, there are lots of demos of that J. Greenwood/Radiohead tone. You made the comprehensive demo for metalheads, but also for non-metalheads. Sounds really good with V30, but if you have a chance to play the Shredmaster through the T75 speaker - oh, yeah. Even more 90s metal. R. I. P. Chuck Schuldiner. Greetings from Slovakia!

Had tendon problems with my wrists that forced me to give up guitar for a long time, picked it back up in 2017 and... well, my pedalboard now is more... MORE. - Friedman Motor City Drive is my go-to these days, sometimes with a tubescreamer in front of it. Sometimes the Revv G3 gets rolled out, but sometimes only the Shredmaster will hit the spot. the key when you've got a few drive pedals that could sound the same is to set them up really differently on the board. :)

    I've tried and compared a JC22 with a number of other small amps and the JC22 won hands down. Apart from the solid tone and strength at volume, the cabinet itself is really built to last.

    Thank you very much! Personally I think they are still worth it, because of the build quality and the versatility. There are 6 different delay types and all of them sound great, even today. If you're not interested in that filter delay, then I would say just get, for example, a Boss DD7 / DD8 But if (and that's why I got it) you want that filter delay sound like the sweep echo...this is a great alternative to a Line6 DL 4 or Line6 Echopark. They can get quite expensive.
