Ampeg Brand Marketing Manager Dino Monoxelos gives a quick rundown of the Scrambler Bass Overdrive pedal that enables you to take that Ampeg grit and grind wherever you go.
About the Scrambler Bass Overdrive pedal:
The Ampeg Scrambler Bass Overdrive pedal infuses your sound with authentic Ampeg grit, grind and sag. Dial in a huge range of overdrive from subtle to screaming. Add in a touch of highs, then blend in with your dry signal to create the perfect tone. It’s pure analog Ampeg overdrive that’s super affordable.

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!

On this week’s Academy Of Tone, Thomas delves into the massively powerful world of multichannel amp heads: Marshall JVM 410 & ENGL Powerball 2 E645/2. These powerful, versatile flagships are usually the best each brand has to offer, and they can become legendary for musicians in their respective genres and beyond.
This week’s test dummies are the iconic Marshall JVM 410 and the ENGL Powerball 2, which Thomas will compare against AMP1 across all their channels, using the amps’ clean, crunch and lead channels to demonstrate a variety of rhythm and solo sounds!
Plus, Thomas is joined once again by our good friend – and shred aficionado – Manuel Kettenring to investigate the neoclassical guitar heroes of the 80s.
Thomas and Manuel will talk about the genre’s rich history, discussing its leading players and their orchestral and harmonic influences. Then, they’ll dissect the playing styles associated with the genre: super-fast sweep picking, tapping, arpeggios and more!

Plus, this year the legendary Deep Purple In Rock album is 50 (yes, fifty!) years old. Thomas presents his thoughts and insights on this incredibly important heavy rock concept album.
He’ll dissect the tones, the riffs and the guitar styles that had such an incredible impact on later Deep Purple records, and heavy rock in general… don’t miss it!

The new Power Box Li2 is a small footprint, rechargeable lithium battery power supply capable of powering multiple pedals, pedal boards and high current draw effects. It can deliver a 1 Amp output and utilizes proprietary, smart battery LED display technology that shows current draw, battery status and time remaining. These features let you know exactly how much battery time is left under current pedal load, so that you never have to worry about when the battery will die.
In this video we go over several options of glue to work with tolex. We cover inexpensive easy to find adhesives for small DIY projects as well as dive into more commercial options including the exact glue we use in our shop at Blackbird Pedalboards.

Here I boosted the input of a 5150 crunch channel using the Amptweaker Curveball Jr, and show you a bunch of variations you can get with it…..well, mostly how tight it can sound. There’s also a section at the end of how you can do the Parked Wah sounds with it. This was recorded on a M-Audio Microtrak, iPhone for the video, using a PRS Santana SE, into a block letter 5150 and a Kustom birch ply 412 with V30 speakers.
