Decent Gear review channels for Rock/Grunge style players

Vintage-T

So there's loads of great gear review channels out there, however, I'm struggling to find a decent channel(s) that bases their gear reviews by playing more straight up rock stuff (Foos, PJ, QOTSA etc) TPS is great, but anything that's not blues seems to flummox them so they don't play the gear how I would want to hear it demoed....on the flip side there seems to be a plethora of Metal dudes that chug away until their hearts are content....again not playing in the context I want to hear gear reviewed in to see if it's up my alley.

Am I missing anything glaring....decent production/sound quality a must...I mean what's the point otherwise.

15 Second Guitar Demos?

This is where PGS/ReverbAndy shines. Happy playing anything from 60's rock & roll up to Metallica, and he's always happy to chuck in some 90's indie/grunge/rock type stuff when it suits the gear

I agree with PGS, too much blues.
anderson's at least try different things, I never much cared for Rob's playing, Lee has improved a lot and Pete's a great player.
But I would like some indie, shoegaze, etc, I think JHS covers some of that

Megan L for shoegazey stuff

Vintage-T

Yeah, just looking for something where the demonstrator's wheelhouse is firmly in kinds traditional rock...not too metally, not too indie, defo not blues (even though I do like the blues, it's more than well covered off) 

I'd forgotten about Andy Demos, yes he's pretty good at covering all genres.

Living Room Gear Demos

Guitar Manifesto is very focussed on Nirvana, short scale guitars and the like.

Not my fav channel, but might be what you are looking for.

Pete Thorn? Though they are demos, not reviews.

Personally I think everything Pete Thorn plays ends up sounding like Pete Thorn rather than the gear. I like his vids and he;s an incredible player for sure, but I don't ever really glean that much about the gear from his vids.

Lord Fuzzman is worth a look

Pete Thorn and Ola are the best channels because they show you that if you stop worrying about gear and put the practice in you can make everything sound great.

Leon Todd
Living Room Gear Demos
The Pedal Bored

My new favourite channel is Zach Wish. He gets awesome tones and always plays good riffs, lots of grungy stuff in there too. He's only a small channel at the minute but it's exactly what you're after I think.

The products may differ with andertons but its all the same blues drivel

Ha, you're thinking of Fuzzlord I think... But yes, I agree, definitely worth watching.

Absolutely, always where I look first for gear reviews/demos. It's a double-edged sword, though, because with the right song/his playing ability, he can get a great sound out of pretty much any pedal, so you always run the risk of buying something that you can't get a great sound out of because... well, I'm not Andy.

Been trying to nail White Limo all day due to that.

He's good innit. 

YellowLedBetterMan

Dipswitch demos and HarryAndAGuitar do a good bit of rock/indie stuff.

Tony McKenzie reviews are ok
