CoreyT Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 A few videos from Chappers. Second video is a closeout on the Vox TB35 amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I was watching the second video when I realized I'm not interested in either of those amps and I was, in fact, waisting my time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennis Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I used to think this guy was quite funny, but now he's just so full of himself I can't take anymore. Dreadlocks on a white British person is like a tutu on a gorilla. He's a pretty bad player too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I started watching the Orange video and wondered if he's now on Orange's payroll? Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Never did like their videos... Can't stand the stupid "Hard Days Night" intro... If you know what I mean... I think they are trying too hard to be like Phil X but Phil's a natural and is what he is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I started watching the Orange video and wondered if he's now on Orange's payroll? Ian. He was endorsed by Orange amps for a long time and was their first ever clinician, if I recall correctly. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I used to think this guy was quite funny, but now he's just so full of himself I can't take anymore. Dreadlocks on a white British person is like a tutu on a gorilla. He's a pretty bad player too. I'll agree with you that he's gotten a little big headed in the past few months, but there are probably a few contributing factors to that. His guitars fairly recently started shipping en mass, giving him a little too much pride for his own good. Also due to the recent divorce/separation/whatever from his wife, he doesn't have her to keep his head out of the clouds. But in regards to his playing, I don't know what you're talking about. The guy's a fantastic player. Yes, he plays simple stuff in demos. Isn't that the point though? To play simple so that the gear being Demo'd is shown off, not the player's skill? He's a technical player with a bluesy edge, and he can put lots of feeling into what he's playing when he wants to. The guy's been recorded by Eddie Kramer. Eddie Kramer doesn't record **** players, he has the credentials to afford not to. He's an incredibly versatile player, regardless of his tendency to shred too much. You may not like his playing, but that doesn't mean you have the right to call him a bad player. You just don't care for his playing. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hmmmm, I wouldn't mind being "a pretty bad player," like Chappers. I still enjoy their demo's, especially compared to most! Phil X is fun/funny, too. I've never felt like Rod or Lee were "big headed," at all. But, I guess, that's just me? Edit: Also, have any of you found that "demo's" by Anyone, are all that accurate, to what you hear, when YOU play, those particular products? I never have, really. Interesting, and "fun," possibly...but, accurate??? Sometimes, they've been so inaccurate, as to be laughable, or head scratchers. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennis Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 For the record I'd just say that I think his sidekick - Captain Lee, or whatever, is a much better player. At least when it comes to demoing the gear. He's got a great old school blues vocabulary and does a great job of bringing out the tone capabilities of the gear he's using. Chappers tends to pour on gain to white noise levels and shred away with little dynamics or variation. My opinions, by nature different from all others', and I'm free to call him a half-witted scruffy looking nerf-herder if I feel like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyT Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 A week or so back I posted a great video of the Captain playing, and he is really good, he keeps getting better all the time. Chappers is pretty good in my book too though. Chappers just got in a new load of his signature guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to let you know, the captain is no side kick, if anything it's the other way around. The captain is the owner of Andertons, one of the largest Guitar dealers in the country.

Rabs Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yeah I have to also agree.. Even though ive been one of the posters of their vids, the last few months ive been getting really bored of them.. Too many in jokes and Chappers does seem to be disappearing up his own arse.. (edit: often called Kravitz syndrome :P :)) I also prefer Lee's playing any day...

CoreyT Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 These last two vids of Chappers are more like a commercial, but this ML-2 is very nice. His line of guitars I believe is made in the same plant (World Music Company) in South Korea as PRS's SE line of guitars. This new ML-2 is 24 fret 25" scale, and looks like it will give the PRS SE LP shaped guitars a run for the money.
