Bluguitar AMP1 Nanotube 100 Guitar Amp

I can't speak highly enough of Thomas Blug's nanotube amp. The range of amp modes makes it incredibly versatile and paired with a Nanocab it's extremely portable. Very easy to use and tweak. Great for small gigs where a scaleable sound is required.

I love the idea of a guitar amp mounted on my pedal board. I use the four cable method with my line 6 HX Effects and the range of tones I can achieve is fantastic.This is my third one though, and even this has had to be sent for repair once so far, but think it sounds great. But what do I know, I used to be a drummer.......

I've struggled to get a great tone from my guitar amplifier - its because I'm new to the guitar, and to the subject of tone.I started to play in my fifties with a regular tutor.AMP1 was a revelation straight out of the box, with good advice direct from the manufacturer.Brilliant.

Awesome!

Finally. I have been through quite a journey to find something that offers tube amp tone in a desktop solution for home recording. This is basically it. With 4 channels and lots of tone options you can do pretty much any tone you can think of - especially because it handles pedals very well. This is not a digital modelling amp, it is a genuine analog amp although I think only a tube in the power section but the practicality of this versus a full 100W tube head is a no brainer for me. I am using this with a Two Note Torpedo Live (another fantastic product) for genuine silent recording and really please with the results having spent years trying to like modelling solutions.

I've played guitar for 30 odd years and regularly gig using a Les Paul, Strat, Gordon Smith V and occasionally a Parker. Over the years I've used Fender, Marshall and Peavey amps and most recently Laney - all valve as the tone is the most important thing. I bought this for small stage gigs but it's now on my pedal board permanently and is all I use for every gig. It will produce a Fender clean, Marshall plexi and a sort of Soldano / Gary Moore high gain lead sound (not really metal unless you use pedals in front of the amp) but the vintage crunch is my favourite - so versatile using only the guitar vol knob. I use a 2x12 on stage but it will also DI straight into the desk whether you use a speaker or not, so works for bigger outdoor gigs too. It's 100 watts remember - not wimpy car stereo watts - 100 watts RMS so it will loosen your fillings and fill your pants if you want, but you can use it for practice (even using headphones) and it's always your sounds.If you want a bedroom box with lots of effects it's not for you, but if you usually use valve amps or you're gigging regularly you'd be mad not to try this out.
