some really good sound tests here

Got to 2:50 and he hadn't played a lick yet. I hate fucking youtube and the way people make their videos.
Thanks for the heads up Charger I just fast foreworded to 3:00 Something and he started playing, there were some nice tones going on. I think I liked the speaker (on my left as I watched) It had a sweeter tone although the one on the right was louder (that may have been a miking difference)
This is really the problem with youtube for me now... I see it in almost every clip, and I simply do not have time to wade, I have a lot to do, all the time, and I am never bored enough to hear that crap!
If I search for "tubescreamer white finger ac30" I want to find a video that plays that.
Instead what I find is a video where a guy talks about those three pieces of gear for 2 and a half minutes. Tells me about the tubescreamer, the white finger, and then the AC30. Oh, and then he shows me his guitar and talks about that. And then plays for 30 seconds. Cut to the goddam chase!
I appreciate videos on youtube where it's just playing. Maybe some titles or a good description? Nobody needs to go to youtube and get the same description of the piece of gear that is on every other video and in every review and on the manufacturer's site.
Sorry to hijack John. It's jsut become so consistent on youtube it's aggravating!
Charger, I absolutely agree about the 90% yapping and 10% playing and I always fast forward to the playing, but none-the-less the actual sound tests are worth listening to as there are a number of different tests with different amp on this channel.
I can't understand why people bother talking for hours on end in a video other than they are filled with their own self importance and they really think they people want to hear what they have to say....we don't, just want to hear the amps and the speakers !
And you know, somewhere out there, someone did a video explaining everything then forgot to do the actual demo... ;)

That would be this guy http://youtu.be/2Fwswi2TY1E :-)
He makes some of the most boring and useless videos I've seen, and that accent gets right up my nose ;D
And he refers to everything as "this bad-boy here".....drives me nuts !
...and here's another dick that I find really annoying

I've seen quite a few where it's 3 minutes of explanation and 15 seconds of playing.
