I remember playing one about a while back and it was not that great sounding imo, nothing really stood out on the amp, no big bottom or searing high gain, etc it was just 'there', not bad but nothing that stood out sonically but not the one i played the other day, that sumbitch sounded very nice
The clean seems to not breakup at all (I actually like a lil breakup in my clean) but very nice clean tone, i then went to the OD channel and it was warm and sweet. This particular amp had EL-34's in it, so there was some british/marshall vibe in the tone, but it was a lil more refined/smooth sounding (not as 'raw' as most Marshalls) It was just a warm almost engulfing type tone ---- The 1 thing that stood out was the amp seems a lil dark tone wise, you have to be carefull with that as i played a 4x12 with V30s and the amp seems to get dark kinda fast if that makes sense
Overall it was a big improvement to my ears from the first one i played, the amp can be set for 6L6 or EL34's, i would lean towards the EL34's but would like to hear 6L6 out of curiosity. The amp seems to get loud really fast (powerfull loud sucka) but i was much more impressed with this tone than the 1st one i played, it seems that they go in the $500 or so range used and i would consider 1 down the road, a very under the radar type amp imo, im now a fan (at least the EL34s)
PS ---- On a side note, im glad to be here after the HC debacle (yet again) but i just started a new job last week and my schedule was really tight, but glad to see a functioning forum with you knuckleheads, i was at HC since 2005 its a shame what happened, but glad to be around here with my peeps, :grouphug:
