I think Kyle does a decent job. His production is good and he reviews a lot of amps. HOWEVER, he always has some fucking boost running. Dude nobody cares about your stupid pedals. We don't really know what the amps sound like because I never know when that boost is on.

I watch most of his videos, and am generally very appreciative of his content...But yes, I really wish he would spend more time with amps with nothing front if them. But...those are the tones he likes. His channel..free country.

All joking aside the rectos to me are some of if not the most dynamic high gain Amps ever made. They tend to almost dance around a track for lack of a better description and are extremely interesting to me. Other Amps come in on a big palm mute or something and they sound great but then they are just kind of…static, like just really undynamic, hard to explain, but when you hear it, you know what I’m getting at.
 
I guess E standard midrange clips in 2024-25 just not happening.
Kyle like Fluff and that Canuck w/ 100 amps their clips all sound the same "chug-a-lug-a" drop Z.
 
^^^^ review an amp,any amp for that matter in e 440 with a normal stock strat,paul,maybe a super strat then,etc, let's hear the clean ch on the amp,then the dirt,max it out,but also wanna hear the in between semi crunch sounds,play lead guitar too..before we go boost into front, with annihilate pickups in drop A minus.

Well i have 9 guitars if i had my choice id live in E flat cuz it sounds cool and bends are easier with medium strings.
However and ive been in bands with keyboards and they all wanna play A440/E standard at least around here.
Then you got the vocals that wanna sing in certain keys and/or change keys for certain songs and all that BS.
Not to mention the pull on the neck is harder at standard pitch than lower so that means truss rod adjustments.
I did have certin guitars for both but it gets to be a PITA.
So finally i just stay in E standard for the singleness of purpose and bypass the bullshit.
As for drop C and that shit guitar is MIDRANGE. The lower you go you're playing bass guitar.
The tighter strings are strung the more harmonic content they have IMO. Rich with harmonic overtones.
Can a 5150 rattle the windows ? Yeah but get in a mix you're just lost.
I had a friend 25 years ago got a new 5150, couldn't wait to hear him play a show.
I sat on the board as i knew the band. Rhythm parts were okay but for the lead breaks couldn't hear him at all in a medium size club thru the PA.
Bedroom players can move heaven & earth at home but do an outside gig w/ 4/12 & subs fugget-a-bout-it.
If you can get in a tribute band and all play in a lower key and get a following that sometimes works if the club or sound police don't shut you down.

Knock this shit off
 
I only listen to 1 or 2 video demo guys youtube channels. Seem like and this has been said that most of these guys have 27 different boost pedals going into the amp so..makes for a totally useless waste of time to watch them. With that in mind though..I've only bought 1 amp brand because of the video's I'd researched and I'll never ever do that again...lol!!
 
Kyle has the settings different than I've ever done. I tried them out and it is a cool way that I never thought of.

He has it - V8, T10, B0, M0, MV10, D8, LM1. I use both channels so it never dawned on me to run the LM low enough to set the MV at 10! If you switched to the clean channel with the T @10 & MV @10, ummmmm, not good! Deaf in at a split second.

The reissue sounds great, exactly similar to the OG and is distinguishable from other amplifier tones. It's got that sound IMO.
