Those two need to get a room. Besides that it was a good demo of what the amp can do.

Haha, I thought the same thing. Just play the damn amp and keep the wanking private.

1st time I have ever used wanking in a sentence.

At least they're somewhat entertaining and Chappers can play......

I think I am one of the few who likes these guys. I think they make a good team, and accomplish their goal of getting people into Andertons. That said, I can certainly see why they get on people's nerves.

I liked the demo too, but I can see Santiago cringing when Lee switched between the 1w mode and 5w mode without switching to standby!

All in all I preferred Chris George's demo for tone though.

I thoughtthe demo sounded good and Thanks K for posting. Meant to say that earlier. Those guys are fine I am sure and yes Rob is a player. I do like a demo to get to the point but that is probably from me watchin one too many Youtube videos where the guy just drags on and on explaining the obvious. Chris George's is perfect.

The other thing to keep in mind is due to copyright Chris can't play the Slash licks in his demos.

No offense to those on this board who like the Anderton's guys, but I found them to be insufferable and full of themselves and their own humor. The whole time I wanted them to STFU and play the amp already. And while there were some parts that sounded OK, I think there were other parts that sounded terrible. But thanks for posting the link.

Yeah, a 20 minutes video for 5 minutes of playing...
And I don't really like the sound of the amp on this demo, it sounds very thin to me
But it's just a demo...I take it for what it's worth

The demo sounded OK. Yet, the microphones made the sound too close and direct. On a stage or studio, the guitar will generally be slid back in the mix. This video makes for a transparent audio presentation. But this sound is rarely heard live or in studio. I think that is the #1 issue with most demos.

I would have liked to hear more reverb or EQ settings. These guys played decent and represent a sizable populous playing style. But I think we all want to hear Slash or the equivalent to demo this amp. And, add some studio magic in addition to the raw close mic sonics.

As far as the dudes on the demo, I liked their humor. But more playing guitar would have been a plus.

And the speaker in the combo they used must be brand new
After a few break up hours it should sound better IMO

I found the official demo after I listened to the Anderton's demo. As far as my comments about the mic placement and the quality of player demonstration, I like the official demo better by a long shot:

Those guys talk to much, just play the damn thing. Otherwise good demo, thanks for posting.
