Pieman Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Wasn’t there a kerfuffle when it was discovered that Andertons was giving glowing reviews of Victory amps without disclosing an ownership interest? I’m not knocking your happy approval, of course. Do they mention that in this review. I’ve not been watching many Anderton reviews since then. I’m curious but not so much that I’d watch this one. Thanks 2 Quote

Thanks He did mention it pretty early on in this vid, fwiw. Kinda surprised me, tbh. 1 1 Quote

Thanks Yes, a lot of people made an issue about it. But why would he spend time and money promoting something he doesn't sell? It's shill for sure but if I'm researching a buy, these guys do great reviews. So on the other foot, I'm gaining information (or entertainment) at their expense never intending to buy anything from them. Which I won't. But, right from the beginning in this video, Lee Anderton made known that he is part owner in Victory Amps. 8 hours ago, beezerboy said: so apparently the amp(s) kina suck without the compressor up front??? Yeah, I was wondering myself why Lee frantically stomped on all those boxes rather than just adding them after demonstrating the amp tones like they do with other amps. It was like he was reacting after three espressos with a cocaine chaser. I lost interest because of it and didn't finish the video. There are other people demoing this amp I may watch just out of curiosity now. But I don't think I'm making a purchase either way. 1 Quote
beezerboy Posted January 7 Posted January 7 they played the amp 10 seconds, and then put in the compressor, and never turned it off again. for those 10 seconds... ya coulda had anything sound as "good" 1 Quote
beezerboy Posted January 9 Posted January 9 sorry... I can't let it go. "sold on the opening tone"??? the opening tone was rubbish. well, at least mediocre. that first 10 seconds with out any pedals sounded like a POS Line 6 practice amp I found in the road. I gave it to my nephew. 1 1 1 Quote

beezerboy Posted January 9 Posted January 9 don't get me wrong, that amp sounds great but we didn't get to really hear just the amp and no pedals Quote
