Musicman20 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I think they did a good job... Much better than the current demos online. BF should send them their pedal. Edited January 16, 2021 by Musicman20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I have to be honest, whenever they do an "All About The Bass", I can only watch if the bloke with the beard is not on. His voice is like fingernails on a blackboard to me. Edited January 16, 2021 by Chienmortbb Smelling Error 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like they don't quite understand what they're talking about Yeah, probably not the best when you are a reviewer! Some nice playing on display - however, to my ears, there was a heavy bias on the DI feed when they did the blended mix. Im not even sure the room mic was having any significant input on the blend mixes, even the ones without the DI. It was all coming from the close mic? (so for at least two of the cabs, the enclosure that the speaker is in doesn't really matter - as they are close micing the same speaker).

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 No matter what's being played through youtube clips always sound like the teeny tiny speakers in my laptop. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say at start, listen with headphones - but as you say, reviewing speakers in this manner of YouTube doesn’t really give much away. Theres too many attributes that can influence the sound in play here - eg the mic, it’s placement (close placement is giving the sound of the speaker and not the cab) it’s mix (with other mics (so introducing the influence of the room sound) and DI) post processing and compression on YouTube... (And as you say Bill, your own setup at your end will influence the sound you are hearing). But you know all this. The only thing I really took away from this review is that the 10 may not fart out when pushed in the lows. But I don’t really know what was happening in terms of boost on the bass and amp or how hard it was being driven... so... I’m not even sure I can take that away.

Cuzzie Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I can add the One10 will handle more watts than it says as long as the sound stays clean, if you use a crossover type distortion it’ll roll it off and you may need to change the EQ slightly depending on where you normally have it if you are used to the flatter Supertwin which will absolutely pump out with clarity what you throw at it. There you go - review complete! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I always get the impression that these guys do very little homework and try to get by by being "geezers"!

There's nothing in that review that would convince me they have a good understanding of the product that they are reviewing. It makes noise! Wahey, lets jam! OK, they were (over) enthusiastic about the products - but couldn't actually tell us why. And whoever filmed the cabs close up, crushed all the blacks so you couldn't actually see any detail of the cabs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still better than Gear4Music who just get one of their guitarists to plonk away on a bass for 5 minutes while recording it on their smartphone. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) The only Andertons YT vid I found vaguely interesting was when they were doing the blind shootout Kemper vs the real amp thing. But yeah, I certainly wouldn't buy anything off the back of their videos. What you have to remember is, they are just making videos to try to get up the search engine rankings (and maybe monetise their content) and shift whatever product to make money. Would they really pull apart any product they sell...? Of course not - because it's not in their interests to do so as it could impact a sale.

I have the super twin,awesome.I had a 10 with a midget,that did not work,the 10 did not keep up,bought a super midget and that works great with the midget.So for a small gig I take the sm and if I decide I need more I can grab the midget out of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Agreed - I use the One10 for home and rehearsal space as it’s almost comedy small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandad Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Depends on need. A single One10 often does me , occasionally I'll use 2. Edited January 16, 2021 by grandad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard the term crushed blacks since I retired and no it is not a racist term. Camera or camera son?

Jack Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I find their videos quite entertaining. The style is very 'of it's time' and not really my thing but they certainly wouldn't be where they are as a shop without their social media presence. Mrs. Jack is the social media coordinator for a very large museum and I find it a fascinating world, just not for me! Factually they always leave a lot to be desired, doing homework on the products before hand would be nice but then I think the counterpoint to that is that most people probably don't care, wouldn't understand, and that specs are easy enough to find if you really want. Apart from Barefaced. And when you DO find manufacturer's specs they're often lies anyway. Whatever, it's nice to see Lee back. All about the bass wasn't the same without him.
