BluGuitar - Tone Innovation For Guitarists | 1 year ago

On this week’s Academy Of Tone, Thomas asks the ever-popular question: can you get genuinely great sounds using cheap guitars? More specifically, can AMP1 sound as good with a beginner guitar as a boutique one? Thomas will play Vintage, Harley Benton and more in this ultimate test of the affordable axe!

Plus, Thomas will shoot out his current setup – an AMP1 Mercury Edition and comprehensive pedalboard of FX – against the full-size rig he played for years up until 2014… the all-tube Hughes & Kettner TriAmp! Which will come out on top? Thomas will go through all the channels, settings and sounds of both rigs to find out!
