15W vs 100W guitar amp
The Swedish Guitar Nerd compares a tiny 15 watt Kustom amp (Solo 16) to a mighty 100 W Marshall head (MG100HCFX). Is it really that much difference?

Good comparison!
Hi SwedishGuitarNerd! Great vid, thanks. Will the Fender Acoustasonic 15 do a good job then, if I take it out for gigging in smaller clubs? In bigger ones I would use the place's sound system ("from line", you know), anyway.
God you’re boring
hörde direkt att han var svensk haha
no body in that 100 watt stack
The Marshall head had more beef. The Kustom sounded great as well but slightly less lows.
In my opinion, use a big amp if its just you and a drummer. The sound of it is a wall of musical sonic orchestration. You wouldn't need any other players.
Use a small amp if you are in a band of more than 3 players to blend and mix in better.
But thats just me and experience.

Can a marshall 15W play with a drummer?
Can you say "I did not hit her, it's not true, it's bullshit, I did not hit her, I did not… Oh hi, Mark. "
If Rasmus Dahlin was a rocker, nice video man
Yes this helped. As most I was under the old double watts for double sound impression. Am I ever right about anything? Lol
15 Watt is very very “Lagom” I think. If u don’t know this word in Swedish just search it up xd
I believe they are both solid state. Might be a bigger difference with a tube head but they do sound excellent.
I compaired my old vox vt20 with my blackstar HT100 Mk1. Back in the days before i had my ht100 i loved my vox because it just sounds awesome and aggressive in gain channel. Havent played it in like 6 months now and just compaired it with my ht100. Its brutal how different they sound. The ht100 got a lot more Power and boom and you can just hear it
Das low Vattage amp un das vunhundred vattage amp
A 4×12 cab with celestion V30/G12H are extremely loud and efficient. But at loud volumes you will not get any sparkly clean with a 5-15W amp if that is your goal.. Also tight hitting lows will be much harder to find in a low wattage output stage. My "rule" is with tube power you need around the 12-15 watt pr 12" celestion speaker if you want a decent "chug" (and a decent large output transformer, good filtering on the power tubes.) … Especially if you downtune to E-flat or play in drop D.
This equates to an amp head of 48 to 60W of total power feeding a 4×12 cab.
What tuning did you use for this video
Solid state? This video is meaningless
Why do you look like you want to die?
The Kusom sounded better (more gritty in it's dirt character) to me.
Big Cab Big Sound the tone adjust is much the same.
the sound of a four cylinder v a v8, which do you prefer :/
god ur annoying
The main difference in your video is in the Cabs, not in the Amps….you should of try them both with the same Cab, otherwise the comparison is useless. You need to rule the Cab out of the comparison.
Does that Marshall cab come with Celestions in it?
Of course jazz guys have loved SS for years now. Keep you away form that god awful tube breakup sound, LOL. Even for heavier stuff people are getting SS to sound mighty darn good.
Good stuff, glad you pointed out about doubling wattage isn't the same as doubling volume, also that the speakers do make a difference.
Awesome Demo!
Do a review of a orange crush 35
Might be just the EQ-settings, but I prefer the 15w amp.
Self confessed tube snob here, but I must say that the 100 watt Marshall actually sounds very good. Great stuff friend.
I've been considering a Vox AC-15 tube amp. What do you think a 15 watt tube amp compares to power & soundwise in a solid-state amp?
yo, keep up the cool vids….my guitar is still catching dust…too lazy to get it intonated and i just suck at it too….(remember me from waay back(like a year/half back) got myself a fender squier starter pack with the 15W fender amp
